    "You must be new here?" I heard a voice behind me. The makeup artist finished working on my eyes and put away her things walking away. I looked in the mirror to see a pair of purple eyes smiling back at me. His long blonde hair was halfway pulled up into a bun, he looked masculine but cute at the same time.
    "Yeah, I'm the new model. Today is my first shoot. I'm Bora but you can call me Alex, Bora is just for stage." I smiled turning around in my chair and standing up and bowing slightly.
    "I'm Hyunjin, I'm one of the artists here. My bandmates are all in the practice room next door. I lost the bet and was assigned to come over here and see what was going on but I'm glad I did." His smile was devilish yet innocent. He was a bit hard to read, just like Yoongi. No Alex don't think about him!
    "Alex! We're ready for you now!" One of the photographers called over to me.
    "Well, it was nice meeting you Hyunjin. I hope we can get along and be friends." I bowed and walked off to the set to start my shoot as he left to return to his practice room.

    "Good job today everyone! Great job Bora, you're a natural!" I bowed to everyone who worked on the shoot and gathered my things heading out. That was exhausting. Who knew sitting in front of a camera posing all day could be so draining. Though I will have to admit, it was a lot of fun.
    "Hey Alex!" I turned my head to see a group of guys all standing by the entrance to the JYP building, making eye contact with Hyunjin I smiled and waved back.
    "Guys meet Alex, she's the new model I was telling you about!" I grew shy underneath the numerous pairs of varying shades of purple eyes watching my every move.
    "It's nice to meet you all! I hope we can all get along." I bowed towards them all earning a bunch of noise. They all went on to introduce each other at the same time causing me to laugh. They're all as rowdy and the guys. I miss them. Shut up Alex. Stop it.
    "Where are you headed Alex?"
    "Just home. That shoot took a lot out of me today, I'm really tired." I had to look up to talk to Bang Chan otherwise it felt like I was talking to his chest. Why is every guy I meet lately tall? Or rather, why did I get more of my dad's genes and get stuck being short?
    "We can give you a ride! We were just heading back to the dorms!" Felix smiled and tugged my arm excitedly towards the van that was waiting on them.
    "Alright stop it don't tear her arm off!" Seungmin yelled pulling my other arm. Aish, these two kids.

    I arrived safely at my apartment with the help of the guys. I learned that their groups name is Stray Kids. Kinda silly sounding if you ask me. I found myself playing their music all night long while I cooked and cleaned up before heading to bed. They were really good. I still wasn't sure if I actually wanted to go after a singing career anymore. Singing made me happy and I was good at it but if I do it as a job, I might get sick of it and burn out fast. Modeling isn't what I want to do forever but for now I'm comfortable with it at least till I find my path. I wonder how the guys are doing. Yuri told me that they've all been training hard, and all had to move into a small dorm for the company. I still don't know the company's name but it's probably for the best. I need to stop thinking about them and focus on myself.

Yoongi POV

    "Keep up hyung!" Hoseok shouted as he clapped the tempo while watching us try to put together the choreography he had just showed us.
    "Maybe we should take a break." I mumbled back before collapsing onto the hard cold linoleum. The rest of the guys groaned and followed suit. All of lay spread out on the floor trying to catch our breath. Hoseok and Jimin were our best dancers and were working the rest of us to the bone. If I had known being an idol would require this much exercise, I would have chosen a different career.
    "Yoongi, catch." I looked over as Jin tossed me a water bottle. I gulped it down fast trying to cool myself down fast.
"You guys can head home. We'll pick it back up tomorrow. You've all been working hard." Our manager spoke before disappearing back out the door he had just appeared from. We all gathered our things and headed out the building towards a van that was waiting on us. We didn't live far from the Big Hit building but for safety reasons they preferred us all have someone drive us everywhere. I missed our old house. It was bigger and had all of our stuff in it. The dorm wasn't bad, but it wasn't home.

    I trudged to my room and plopped down onto my bed. I dug around under the covers before I found my hoodie. Holding it up to my face I breathed in Alex's scent. It was fading too quickly and was starting to smell like me again. I fought back tears as I sighed and sat up staring at the floor. I would give anything for her to be back in my bed next to me. I wore the ring around my neck every day, only taking it off to shower. It was the last memory I had of her, and I wasn't ready to let it go just yet. I would eventually, but not yet. It's too soon still.

    A knock on my door brought me out of my thoughts. I got up and opened it to see our maknae standing there with a bowl of popcorn.
    "We're all going to watch a movie hyung!" His bunny smile brought a smile to my face as I nodded my head and followed him to the living room. Everyone was spread out with pillows and blankets with a space saved on the couch for me. Namjoon started the movie and turned the lights off. At least I have the guys if things get hard. I won't be completely alone throughout it all.
