EMMAS POV

We've all been living together for about 2 years now. Emma's already 16. It's been really fun and they're all like my new family. We hang out all the time and haven't had any issues. I'm really glad I was put with them.

CHRIS'S POV

I'm really happy that Emma fits in with the guys like this. I can tell she's really happy and that she feels safe. That's all I ever wanted. I have a little sister at home. Unfortunately I came to Korea at a young age so I didn't get to see her grow up. Emma coming into my life gave me the chance to have a little sister.

We debut in a month and I had to work on a song. "CHRIS. EMMA HIT ME." Felix said running into my room and throwing himself on my bed. "YOU THREW ME OFF THE COUCH." She exclaimed about to tackle him. "HEY SEPERATE. Felix don't throw Emma off the couch. You know she fights back. Emma don't hit Felix. You know he's sensitive like a little girl." "WHAT." He yelled staring at me in disbelief. I sighed and went back to writing. "Actually Emma come back in here, I need you for a minute." "Yea what's up." She said as she sat on my bed. "I'm writing a song for our debut. I have Hans rap but I need yours. I just don't know what I should do." I sighed. "Well let's see show me what you have." She said. She read the lyrics and listened to the back track. "Alright so I'm thinking of something really fast like let's see. How about the lyrics go like this

geudeureun malhae neonen narang dareunikka yeogil tteonajwo
geurae geunde dareudaneun mareun
teullin ge aniran geotmaneun aradwo
got shigi badeul shigi
uri wichin jageun bichi keuge bichineun district
ahobeuro shijakhae uh kkeucheun ama modue ajiteu

I listened to her rap with with music and then read the lyrics. "Emma you're a lyrical genius." I leaned back in my chair. "What else do you need? I have a lot of free time." She said. "You could cook me something. "You're funny." She fake laughed walking out of my room. Well that's one thing off my list. Now that I have the rap done, everything should go smoothly.

EMMAS POV

After helping Chris with his song I literally had no idea what to do. Minho was out at his parents house. Seungmin was out going on a walk. Jeongin was also on a walk. I couldn't even begin to tell you where Felix and Han were. Those two disappear all the time. And Chris was busy. Hyunjin was painting but I didn't want to disturb him. I decided to go lay in bed and watch.

HYUNJIN'S POV

What in the world do I paint? I've painted flowers, sunsets, animals. I sat at my canvas for a good 45 minutes. Then Emma walked in. Perfect. "Hey Emmaaaa." I said. "Hey Hyunjin. What's up?" "So do you remember when you had no cash and you were hungry so I bought you spring rolls?" I said. "Yea and you remind me all the time about how I said I'm in your debt. What about it." She groaned. "Can i paint you." She looked at me shocked. "Why do you want to paint me?" She laughed. "Emma sit in the stupid chair. This is you paying me back. "Fine." She said sitting in the chair in front of me. "Put your hair down." I said getting up and fixing her hair.

( This is what her hair looks like )

She's so beautiful. Dude what am I saying. I adjusted my lamp and started painting.

After an hour I was done. "Alright I'm done." I smiled. She jumped out the chair and looked at the canvas. "Woah." She said. "Do you like it?" I smiled. "I love it." She said. "Im hungry, wanna go get some dinner?" I said putting my equipment away and propping the canvas against a wall. "Sure. How does Mexican sound?" She said putting her shoes on. I nodded and watched as she put a hoodie on. She was about to put her hair up but I blurted out "Leave it down, I like it like that." Bro that was the most idiotic thing you've ever said. "Ok". She smiled.

We sat at the restraunt and her friend called her. "Hey Eva what's up?" She asked shoving a tortilla chip in her mouth. "What are you doing right now as we speak?" "Um Im at Hacienda the Mexican restaurant with Hyunjin right now why?" "Ok, Guess who just texted me asking about you?" That caught my attention. Emma sighed "who?" "Marcus freaking Kemp" she paused. "Bro what." She laughed. "Yea I know. I told him that you're living in South Korea now and that you're kinda famous now in a group called Stray Kids." "Well what did he say." "He wants to talk to you and be friends." "Eva can I call you later, I'm with Hyunjin." I know that what she just heard ruined her whole mood. I also know her and Marcus didn't end things well. "Yea of course. Love you." "Love you too." She hung up and ate a chip. "So.. Marcus wants to talk?" I chuckled. "Yep." She smiled. "Are you gonna talk to him?" "No. He made me miserable for 7 months and I'm finally happy again. He's not gonna come back into my life and make me it. I'm not dealing with that again. For all I care he can screw himself." She said taking another bite out of a chip. I laughed at her comment. I decided to change the subject since I know that talking about him stresses her out. "So after we debut, are you going to change your hair?" "No. If they let me keep it this way then I'll give it a couple more months. If I have to change it I'm just gonna change the color and do some layers. What about you?" "Nah I wanna let it grow long. If I have to cut it I will, but I really wanna grow it long. Do you think I'll look good?" I wiggled my eyebrows. "Honestly yea. I think you'll look really good with long hair." She said staring at me hard as if she was trying to picture me with long hair.

After we ate we walked back to the dorm. When we got there we saw all the members in the living room watching a movie. "Where were you two?" Felix smirked. "Having dinner together at Hacienda. Why?" She asked. "Oh just curious." I saw Han staring at me with eyes full of rage. Felix mumbled something which I couldn't understand but I decided to shrug it off. I sat on the floor next to Jeongin and Emma walked into our room. She came out and sat on the couch basically laying on Chris. Normally I would be jealous but I know she sees Chris as a older brother. She has a biological older brother but she said he never treated her like his younger sister so she never got the sibling experience. "What are we watching?" I asked. "Lady and the Tramp." Han sighed. "Bro I love that movie." Emma said. She loves Disney movies. One night she watched 5 princess movies in a row. After the movie was over I noticed Emma was asleep. Chris looked at me and mouthed "Can you move her?" I nodded and walked up to her. I picked up her head gently so that Chris could stand up. He grabbed a pillow and put it where he was so she wouldn't feel any change. I grabbed her blanket from her bed and covered her. I sat in the chair next to her and tried to fall asleep. She wakes up sometimes in the middle of the night with panic attacks, so I want to be here just in case it happens again tonight.

I think I'm falling for her.
