"Hold the elevator door please!" Bianca shouted running in the hallway to catch the elevator going down.
She mouthed "thank you" in English and a quick bow while still panting.
"You're welcome." Namjoon answered in English giving a bow in return and a small smile.

She looked at the people inside the elevator and quickly stood up straight. The elevator was packed with seven guys when Bianca hopped on.
Maybe I should have waited for the next one. The only problem is, there is only one elevator for tenants smarty! She said to herself feeling her cheeks starting to heat up. Knowing that there are people behind her who might be looking at her, she suddenly felt self-conscious.
You're being absurd! Why would they be looking at you? She shrugged the thought away and decided to be friendly instead. She turned around and greeted the boys.
"Hello! Are you the new move ins?" She asked smiling at the boys.
The boys were caught off-guard as they did not expect the sudden greeting. Some looked at their feet. Others looked somewhere else and another just stared with his mouth hanging open.
The looks she got made her cheeks burn crimson red. She immediately turned back around to hide her flushed face.

Jin, who was closest to Namjoon elbowed him and signaled to talk to Bianca. Namjoon nodded and cleared his throat before talking.
"Uh. Sorry about that. Yes, we just moved in this morning. We are the new tenants at 1514." He said in English.
"Sorry if my brothers weirded you out." He said with a chuckle. "I'm the only one fluent in English so..." He started explaining.
"Oh, no worries at all. I understand. I'm at 1515 by the way." Bianca turning to Namjoon and then to the rest of the boys who then greeted her back with a short "Hello!"
"I remember bumping into one of you earlier today but, I wasn't able to see his face because he was holding a stack of boxes." She continued.
"Ah. Me! That's me! Thank you for your help." Taehyung flashed his wide smile at her.
OMG! He's cute! Her inner goddess shouted. Bianca pushed it aside.
"You're welcome! Sorry for knocking your box down." She smiled back at the boy with a rectangular grin.
"Welcome to your new home!" She said giving each one of the boys a smile.
Namjoon translated what Bianca said to the boys and everyone thanked her for the warm welcome.

Just then the elevator doors opened on the ground floor.
"Okay. Well, it was nice meeting you boys! See you around!" She said as she stepped out and headed for the building exit.
"See you!" Jimin and Jungkook answered giving Bianca a sweet smile before the elevator doors closed again.

"Wooooow!" Hoseok exclaimed.
"She's pretty!" The members said in unison.
"Not my type." Taehyung cutting them off as they stepped out of the elevator towards the parking area.
All the members stopped and turned to Taehyung with puzzled faces.
"Not your type?" Yoongi asked.
"Have you already met a lot of girls for you to say that?" Jin asked causing everyone to laugh; because nobody ever dated since they started training with their agency.
"Well, she's obviously older than us." Taehyung defended.
"So? Does that even matter?" Namjoon said, as they climbed into the van.
"Yeah, does that matter?" Jimin seconded Namjoon.
"No." Taehyung said. "But, she can't even speak Korean. How are you going to be in a relationship when you don't even understand each other?"
"Good point, but why are you already talking about being in a relationship with her?" Hoseok said laughing and everyone snickered with him. Taehyung just glared at them and chuckled, too.
"It doesn't matter. I think she's pretty and friendly." Jungkook concluded.
"Agreed!" Jin answered giving Jungkook a high five.
"But, we forgot to ask her name." Jimin said and they all laughed.

When the boys arrived from having dinner and grocery shopping, they immediately started prepping the food they bought to give to their neighbors. Jimin and Jungkook helped with a little more enthusiasm.

"Hey guys? Are we all going to each of our neighbors together or are we splitting?" Jin asked the other members.
"If, we're splitting, please assign me to the lady in 1515!" Jimin pleaded his hyung.
"Me too!" Jungkook making a cute face.
"I think we should all go together. This is the first time we are meeting them so, it's just polite for all of us to go." Yoongi said.
"Yoongi is such a genius!" Namjoon responded with a naughty smile plastered on his face winking at Hoseok and the latter winking back.
"Can't I just stay here? I'm tired." Taehyung complained.
"No!" Everyone answered him.
"Fine. It's getting late. We should hurry." He said, finally giving in to his brothers.
