Sungjong hands me a plate of brownies to eat. He sits on the beanbag across the table in front of me. "So, do you have any concerns? Anything I should know now that you're living with us?"

Us. So that means he lives with someone else right?

"Uh... well," I cautiously begin. "Do you, by any chance, live with anyone else?"

Sungong laughs light-heartedly. "I thought you'd never ask." he brightly chirps. He stands up and walks over to a sound bar with an iPhone docked. He presses a song on the iPhone, and a very familiar beat plays. That's the song Kathy made me listen to! But what does it mean?

"Sounds familiar?" Sungjong asks, breaking me away from my thoughts. "Uh... a little, yeah," I nervously say. He begins dancing to the song, his whole attention and focus on his dancing. Suddenly he begins singing in the 3rd line of the song: "Kkok baro bwa, uneunge shilheoseo gureae (Look clearly- I just don't like it when you cry.)" His voice and the vocalist of that third part sound eerily the same. When the chorus begins, it hits me. I immediately stand up, and Sungjong stops dancing.

"Y-Y-You're from Infinite!" I exclaim.

Sungong winks at me and brightly says, "Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! That's right! I'm Infinite's cute maknae, Lee Sungjong."

"I-I-I'm really sorry for not recognizing you earlier. I'm not exactly someone who knows what's happening on the red carpet."

Sungjong brighly chuckles. "It's fine. I don't expect everyone to know who we are. That's too egoistic now, isn't it?"

I smile, relieved he didn't take my ignorance personally. Sungjong pauses the music and sits back down on his beanbag as I do on the couch. Sungjong brightly asks, "So where do you study?"

"Taekyung University. I study Digital Photography there."

"Ah! L-hyung studies there, too! I think he takes the same program with you as well!"

"L?"

Sungjong gleefully nods his head. "Yeah! L-hyung! He's another member of Infinite, so you'll be living with him as well!"

I hear the door open then close, then footsteps, and finally, I see the face of the biggest douchebag I know.

I stand up at the sight of Myungsoo, and Myungsoo drops his bag at his sight of me. "What are you doing here?" He asks, his voice laced with annoyance and confusion. Sungjong remains seated on his beanbag. "Oh L-hyung! Welcome back! We have a new friend!"

"New friend?"

"Yeah! Her name's Kwo--"

"I know what her name is." Myungsoo snaps.

Sungjong doesn't seem to care or notice, as he continues his introduction happily.

"You do? Oh! So You two know each other then?"

"Uh.. yeah, sort of..." I reply nervously.

"What are you doing here?" Myungsoo growls.

I open my mouth to reply, but Sungjong quickly cuts me off, "She'll be living with us from now on, hyung!"

Myungsoo's mouth drops open. "Oh hell no."

"Hyung, don't use bad language in front of our new friend."

"She could be your new friend, but she's definitely not mine." 

With that, Myungsoo stalks away and into what I presume his room. Sungjong has a confused look. "I wonder what's wrong with him?" He faces me and casually shrugs, "Oh, well, he'll be fine by dinner." I sigh. So the douchebag's also part of Infinite.

I think I've done something really bad in my past life to deserve this.
