yena's pov:

we walked in pure silence. i couldn't even tell you if it felt awkward or not. it was just quiet, both of us lost in our own thoughts... at least i was.

"...so." minho went to begin speaking, but abruptly stopped.

"so?" i respond, curiously.

he sighs quietly, "why the fuck did you sleep on the floor last night? is a luxurious king-sized bed not good enough for you or something?"

"why are you asking this again? i thought this conversation was over," i said.

"i dunno, i was just thinking about it," he says as his head turns to face me. his eyes looked directly into mine, as if he was searching for something, but quickly conceals that and any sign of even a singular emotion he was feeling was gone.

i look down at my feet, watching as i take each step, hoping to come up with a good excuse on the spot. but i found nothing that wasn't gonna make me look like an idiot. so i kept my mouth shut.

"if you don't tell me, i'll go to chan about it."

"what is he gonna do then, lee? get me a fucking bigger bed or something? i was sleeping on a kids single bed before i came here because i could hardly even afford food, let alone a decent bed. so believe me when i say i'm not ungrateful."

"so then why are you sleeping on the floor?"

"i... i just can't..."

"can't what, yen?"

i hate that he's constantly questioning me. he can't stand me, and yet, he just has to pry into my own business like that's the only fucking thing he's interested in. i'm just done with him and his attitude. and so, i let my mouth run the first thing that pops into my brain.

"just.. fuck off already, lee. it's none of your business."

and boy, did that shut him up, because he didn't say another word until we arrived at the studio.

***

the meeting came and went so quickly. we were all sat either on the floor or the couches of the recording studio, discussing the new songs and concept of the next comeback, entitled ALL-STAR. it was the third release of the trilogy, of the first two albums, 5-STAR and ROCK-STAR. everyone was so excited to start working on recording all of the songs. and i was particularly ecstatic, as this was my first ever comeback (or really, my first time debuting).

as much as i tried focusing on everything chan was explaining, i could just feel a pair of eyes staring me down from the other side of the room. minho.

he seemed fully pissed.

maybe i shouldn't have said that to him. i have to share a room with him after all, it would have been better off if i kept that to myself and just didn't say anything. but i can't take it back now.

"alright guys, that's it! let me know if you have questions or anything. i'll be sending out line distributions for each of the songs tomorrow morning, and then we'll have another meeting in a couple of days to listen to each of the demo tracks so we're prepared for recording next week." chan said, as the meeting wrapped up.

jisung, who was sitting next to me on the couch, gently tapped my shoulder. "hey, do you wanna go grab dinner before we head back to the dorms? i'm kinda hungry and i haven't been grocery shopping for this week yet so there's nothing really to cook."

i smile, "yeah sure! i'd love to. what should we have?"

"how about i treat you to some bulgogi? as like an official welcome to the group."
