**D1, Be the ONE! We are ZEROBASEONE!***
After debut, idol life is just getting started, and it's our time to bloom.
And so are the challenges...living in a dorm with eighteen people could never go wrong, right? Especially not with some love triang...

With my head pressed to the cold mirror of the elevator wall, I felt the floor vibrating as we ascended toward our fancy dorm room. I called it fancy because the thing we used to sleep in at the Star Academy wasn't even remotely close to what we now resided in. Debuting comes with a lot of perks. And a lot of downfalls, such as my current state.
"Almost there," Ara said with an as exhausted voice as I had. She too, was feeling the day. Zhang Hao and Tae Rae were quiet. I guess they just wanted to come home and relax as well.
The elevator pinged, and I turned around with a groan, missing the cold feeling of the mirror. It was damn hot out in Seoul this time of year, and it wouldn't change soon. Summers were a hot mess over here. Fortunately, we had air conditioning.
"Come on, little sister. Let's get some food in you!" Hao drawled as he dragged me out of the elevator and into our small lobby. It had white tiled floors, and Gyuvin had put a 'home sweet home' doormat with two frogs smiling up at the ceiling on the floor in front of the door.
Hao had started calling me little sister after visiting my home a few weeks ago. He and my twin brother were close, and as we had left Chanbin that night, my twin had called after him to take care of me. Hao had taken that literally.
Tae Rae opened the door and froze in his tracks. I was too tired to care what he was upset about. I just wanted some ramen and to go to bed. It became apparent real quick as I heard music blaring and loud, excited voices talking. Ugh. The others had a better shift today, as the four of us had studio time booked for our debut song, after a grueling morning training sessions. Except for our leaders Hanbin and Allison, the others had been dismissed for the afternoon.
It showed in the amount of energy they had.
"Guys!" Ara snapped, and all heads in the living room turned to us. I spotted Gunwook, Gio, and Matthew playing video games while seated on the floor. Nina, Briar and Billie were loudly chatting at the kitchen table, with Gyuvin and Yujin munching down a big bowl of something that smelled delicious. Jiwoong was nowhere to be seen. He was probably locked up in his room watching K-dramas. Bongcha and Jisoo were watching the tv, and how the others were finishing their game. "Is there some food left for us, or is that everything?" Ara wasn't happy as she pointed at the table.
Yujin stopped slurping his ramen and his eyes turned to me. "S-sworry," he mumbled. "Th-hat was e-verything."
Great.
Living with seventeen other people did have a lot of disadvantages. For one, nobody could cook. I, as the youngest I might add, was the only one able to decently cook. So whenever I was out, they would get take-out.
I cracked my neck, and without any words, I walked towards the kitchen and started flinging some pots around. I was making Ramyeon.
