A/N: Just a quick note. Nari is going to hang out in a lot of friend groups between the roommates. Her primary female friends are Sunny and Nana, and later Youngji. Her primary male friend group is just Jackson. Later on she'll also get closer to Min Woo. Just a little heads up.

~Nari's Point of View~

After we had the cake for Nana's party we went inside for a late night meal. Sunny and Jong Ok had brought home some pork skin earlier today, so we decided to make that.

"I'm afraid the oil will splatter." Guk Joo worries as she stirs the pork skin in a pan.

She's standing as far away from the pan as she can. I can understand why, hot oil hurts. A lot.

"It can splatter on my face, but not my clothes!" She shouts, effectively making Sunny, Youngji, and myself laugh.

After a few unfortunate events, Guk Joo burning herself and staining her clothes, we all sat at the table and dug into our food. Guk Joo's sacrifice was not in vain. Joon Hyung had asked Guk Joo how she became a comedian, and turns out she had wanted to be a dancer. She even gives us a demonstration. Se Ho joins in on the dance. She hops around and dances in front of each camera.

Once we cleaned up the dishes all of us girls came outside and went on the trampoline. Sunny, Nana, Youngji, and I were sitting while Guk Joo was jumping around. How is she not tired yet? Se Ho comes out to take a picture of us and I smile. Even though all of our memories here will be recorded on tape forever, pictures can also be incredibly nostalgic.

We got bored fast. I surprised myself by how fast I got bored, but at least the Roommate house has a lot of things to do if you ever need to entertain yourself.

"Nana is drunk because it's her birthday." Guk Joo says, while carrying the cardboard cut out of Nana up the stairs.

She kept the improv up as Nana followed her around with the hand held camera. After that was over Guk Joo and I went downstairs, right as Jackson got home.

"Did you eat already?" Joon Hyung asks as Jackson wanders about the kitchen.

"Not yet." Jackson replies.

I walk into the kitchen next with Guk Joo, and I pause.

I've never seen Jackson on without his hat before. I didn't think he'd have so much hair. It reminds me of a flower boy from a drama. I probably shouldn't say that out loud though.

"You look prettier without makeup on." Jackson says to Guk Joo.

"No I don't, stop, what about Nari." Guk Joo directs attention to me, who is innocently bare faced.

Before they can even see my face though, I shove my hood over my face and rush out of the kitchen, aiming for the stairs. I hear someone chasing me, and soon enough my feet are no longer touching the ground, and I'm hanging over someone's shoulder.

"Yah! Put me down!" I struggle in Jackson's grip, I could tell it was Jackson by his flower boy hair.

He places me down gently, but holds my shoulders so I can't run away. The GOT7 member analyzes my face carefully, before smiling cheekily.

"Cute."

"And you're stupid." I pout in response.

"Yah! I just complemented you!" Jackson whines.

"Aish, some people are sleeping, lower your voice!" I hiss, playfully swatting his arm.

"I'll pick you up again."
