"This late-night working is going to make you sick," J-Hope said, sitting by the bed, watching Yoongi getting dressed for his late-night delivery job.

"That's the only way I can continue making music and help my family as well," Yoongi replied, brushing his hair with his hands.

"But you're too hard on yourself, hyung. I feel sorry for you," J-Hope expressed, his concern evident in his voice. Jungkook sat quietly nearby, with his knees against his chest, watching the two older members.

Yoongi sighed, saying nothing in reply. Suddenly, someone burst into the room.

"EVERYONE!" Taehyung shouted, a wide grin on his face.

"Oh my god! Slow down!" Jungkook said, and J-Hope laughed.

"I won against Jihoon hyung!!" Taehyung exclaimed, starting to dance, but his celebration was cut short when Jihoon stormed into the room as well.

"Yeah! You cheated!" Jihoon whined, "Hoba! Look, he cheated!" he complained to J-Hope, behind whom Taehyung was hiding.

"Taehyungie hyung never wins a game against you! He definitely cheated!" Jungkook said, taking Jihoon's side.

"I know, right!" Jihoon nodded, his head shaking vigorously.

The room filled with laughter and playful banter, their voices echoing with a mix of joy and camaraderie. It was these moments that made their hardships bearable, the times when they could forget the grueling practices and financial struggles, even if just for a little while.

Their nights were often like this, filled with teasing, laughter, and the comforting presence of each other. Nothing much had changed since they first moved in together, except their bond had grown stronger.

Despite the exhausting dance practices and singing sessions that left them physically drained, the boys always found time to be with each other. They celebrated every holiday together this year, from Christmas to New Year's, creating their own little traditions. They gave each other chocolates on special occasions, a small but heartfelt gesture, since they couldn't afford much else.

"Where are you going, hyung?" Jungkook asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he spotted J-Hope leaving early in the morning on his way to the bathroom.

"Oh, good morning, Kookie," J-Hope greeted, putting on his shoes. "Manager-nim told me to get a boy named Park Jimin. He's a new trainee, so I'm going to pick him up from the bus stop."

"A new trainee? Okay, go on then, or you'll be late. Bye," Jungkook said, waving as J-Hope left. He then closed the door behind him, the morning silence of the dorm settling back in.

Jungkook made his way to the bathroom, the cold floor tiles waking him up further. As he washed his face, he thought about the new trainee, Park Jimin. He wondered what the new addition would be like, how he would fit into their already tight-knit group.

Returning to the badroom, he saw Taehyung sitting up in his bed, blinking sleepily. "Who was that?" Taehyung asked, his voice groggy.

"Hobi hyung went to pick up a new trainee," Jungkook replied, sitting down on his own bed. "His name is Park Jimin."

"A new trainee?" Taehyung mused, a hint of curiosity in his voice. "I hope he's nice."

Jungkook nodded,"Yeah, I hope so too."

As J-Hope approached the bus stop, he noticed a short boy sitting there with bags around him. Unsure if this was the trainee he was supposed to meet, he walked over and called out, "Jimin-ssi?"
