It's already my 5th night at Heidi's place and my stepbrother has yet to reach out.

I finish washing the pink bowl I used to eat my ramen and place it on the drying rack. It was kind and super unnecessary of Heidi to offer me a place to stay. I turn off the running faucet.

You need to be away from all that testosterone, and staying in a hotel with Jackson won't be good on your mental. Some alone time, just us girls, it will do you good.

The 15-minute car ride to her place was silent on my end. She explained how she just moved out on her own, how nice it feels to be independent from her family. I can't quite help but wonder what the catch was for her to get Jackson to agree to it this. It was never discussed, but I'm sure if I asked, she would tell me. I figured maybe it's best to keep the stress out of my head.

She probably has to report every move I make to him.

I dry my wet hands with a tiny towel and survey my freshly painted acrylics I just got done yesterday with my new roommate. It's still weird to get use to this pressure against my nail beds. I move turn around to take my previous seat in a barstool. I adjust the white headband on my head and revert my attention back onto my computer.

I always try to look at the pros of being here. One big thing is I get to lounge around comfortably. All the clothes I purchased yesterday on our little shopping adventure can finally be worn for real occasions. Now I can wear no bra, and an oversized tee to sport as a dress whenever I want. I don't feel the need to put on makeup or change out of my tiny sleeping shorts just to walk out of the bedroom.

I don't have a bedroom anymore.

Her couch converts into a bed and that's all I need while Heidi sleeps upstairs in the loft. Namjoon's apartment was too spacious, I like the change of a smaller place. At least I'm aware if I'm actually home alone.

I think about my previous host a lot. Whether he has talked it out with Jackson or is still on the verge of fighting him. As much as I found my stepbrother's outburst pretty unforgivable, I do hope they repair their friendship. The same wish goes for Felix.

Agust has kept in touch with me. At first, I wasn't sure if our work was over after that night. Thankfully, he was the one to approach me as if nothing went down. It's as if there is an unspoken agreement that we won't discuss what happened. It's been strictly professional, no small talk about my stepbrother or his handsome friend and that makes me wonder if Jackson is even aware of our ongoing contact.

I finish up my email and attach the videos I tediously edited for Agust before hitting send. A mixture of behind the scenes from the day I rode on his motorcycle throughout the actual performance night. Some being his own footage, mostly of him recording in his studio. Three different versions for three different media platforms.

It's crazy how quick I got the hang of this, I only did the planning, organizing and maintaining side for a client's socials at my previous job. I never thought I would be editing photos, especially videos.

I need to add this to my resume.

Exhaling loudly with relief from my long hard day of work, I search for a better song to uplift the mood. The mix I'm playing starts a song with a familiar name in the title.

Ruined - Joon

I attempt to change it, but I get a notification that I used up all my skips.

"Stupid shit." I curse to myself annoyed that I am giving into hearing his sexy voice again. I think to myself that maybe it's the universe giving me a sign.
