Both Seungcheol and Jeonghan received the email from their landlord that a pipe had burst on the first floor.

Multiple rooms had been flooded and destroyed.

"Oh those poor residents." Jeonghan gasped as he read to email with Joshua. "I hope they were all able to salvage some of their belongings." He added.

Later that evening during dinner they heard knocking at the door. "I'll get it!" Joshua said, already up and heading for the door.

"By all means, be my guest." Seungcheol joked as Joshua checked the peephole before opening the door.

Waiting outside was a male who looked around their age with short blonde hair.

"Hey there." Joshua smiled.

"Hi! My names Kwon Soonyoung I live in 116, one of the flooded apartments."

"How many teenagers live here?" The8 asked the others quietly.

"Alot of parents let their teens move here because of how cheap and close it is to the universities." Seungcheol explained, which is why him and Jeonghan lived there.

"Oh I heard about your guys floor." Joshua said as Soonyoung nodded.

"That's actually why I'm here. I've sorta been going door to door wondering if someone had an extra room or couch for us to stay at." Soonyoung explained.

"We?" Joshua asked as Seungcheol finally got up and joined them at the door.

"Yeah, me and my boyfriend. We are both in school and have jobs around here. And all the 1 and 2 bedroom apartments around here are either now full or out of our price range." Soonyoung said.

"I mean - we already have 5 people in here, so you guys would be sleeping on the floor." Seungcheol said before Soonyoung cut him off.

"We can do that! We can buy a small air mattress or sleeping bags! My boyfriend is very small! We won't take up much room!" Soonyoung said.

"I'm sorry, It's just we've been turned away from every room on every floor so far and we are running out of options, so it's either find a room or me and my boyfriend have to move back to our separate hometowns and I know it would kill him to move away from his work." Soonyoung sighed.

"Where do you 2 work?" Joshua asked.

"My boyfriend is an assistant music producer and I'm a dance instructor." Soonyoung answerd.

"DANCE INSTRUCTOR!?" Jun yelled as he jumped up from the table, pulling The8 with him.

"Hi! Junhui! and this is The8 - Did you say you're a dance instructor?!" Jun asked as Soonyoung nodded.

"Do you know if your place is hiring?!" Jun asked, quickly providing a translation for a very confused The8.

"I mean - I'll have to ask, but I'm sure they are! We can always use the help!" Sooyoung said, immediately getting pulled inside by Jun.

"I say he stays!" Jun declared.

"Jun-" Seungcheol had to bite back a laugh.

"Hey! I am now a fair sharer of this place like Joshua! Plus he can get me and The8 jobs!" Jun said shaking Soonyoung by his shoulders.

"Jeonghan?" Seungcheol sighed as he turned to his boyfriend.

"Pasta Soonyoung?" Jeonghan smiled as Soonyoung nodded immediately.

"I guess there is our answer." Seungcheol shrugged.
