"Jooheon, I told you not to touch my fucking underwear!" I groaned, taking a pair of light pink underwear off of Jooheon's head.

We were so close to finishing up my room, with only clothes to put away and small things that need to be organized.

"They are a nice shade of pink, after all," Changkyun said from over by the closet, hanging up a dress.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm surrounded by animals,"

"We're men," Jooheon said, pounding his chest with one hand.

"Still animals," I sighed, taking the both of my undergarments away from Jooheon. "Anyways, the rest of this stuff I can do on my own,"

"I like seeing all these nice dresses you don't wear," Changkyun was now holding another dress, holding it up towards me.

"I don't have anything to wear them to!" I chuckled, sitting on my bed. "But you guys have already been such a big help, I can finish this later,"

Changkyun hung up the last dress, then walked over and plopped down on the bed beside me.

"So, we ordering pizza now?" He let himself fall, laying down now and closing his eyes.

"Yeah, what should we get?" Jooheon asked, turning around from his sitting position on the floor.

"Supreme!" Changkyun and I both yelled at the same time. We locked eyes and immediately fist bumped.

Jooheon gave us a confused look, "Alright, freaks, I'll order it,"

Jooheon placed our order for a large supreme pizza, an order of cheesy breadsticks, and a cookie pizza.

We all made our way out to the living room, deciding to watch some television and talk while we waited.

"So, Jooheon, any good hook ups?" I turned to him with a smirk.

Jooheon gasped. "Listen, you may talk about this stuff with the pervert over here, but what makes you think I'll fess up to you?"

Changkyun snorted, "He's been hooking up with that barista, remember her?"

"Oh yeah!" I smiled, leaning over and patting Jooheon's shoulder. "You liked her for a while,"

"I guess so," Jooheon shrugged. "The sex is okay, but I wish she would want to hang out rather than just hook up,"

"Aw, Jooheon has feelings!" Changkyun cooed towards Jooheon.

Jooheon rolled his eyes, "I have more feelings than you do!"

Changkyun shrugged. "You aren't wrong, I guess,"

I nodded slowly, "You have emotions, you just don't show them,"

Changkyun shrugged again, opening his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by my phone ringing.

I grabbed my phone from beside me, looking at the screen to see it was Benjamin calling.

"Oh gross, it's Benjamin," I groaned. Changkyun and Jooheon both exchanged annoyed looks.

"Why would he be calling?" Jooheon asked, leaning forward.

I shrugged, swiping up to accept the call. "Hello?"

"Hey kiddo!" I cringed at his dumb name for me. "We just got home and all your stuff is gone!"

"Yeah, I moved out," I chuckled dryly.

"Well, why is that?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes, "Just doing what I was told to do,"

"Well, where'd you go off to?"

"I moved in with a friend," I sighed loudly. "Is there a reason you called instead of my mom?"

Changkyun whistled, sitting back against the couch beside me. Jooheon struggled to hold back a snicker.

"Well, I-"

"Benjamin, I'm going to make something clear," I leaned forward. "You are the reason my mom is leaving, therefore the reason I had to find a place to live in only the matter of a couple of days. I'm not happy about it,"

Benjamin stayed quiet. "We leave tomorrow. At least go to the airport to say goodbye to your mother,"

"I'll try to," I clenched my jaw.

"It would mean a lot to her, you know," He let out a breath. "I'm sorry. I have to go,"

"Bye," I said in the same monotone voice. He said goodbye as well and hung up. I leaned back against the couch, rubbing my temple with my now free hand.

"That was," Jooheon let out a breath. "Harsh,"

I nodded. "I'm just upset is all. Everything changed when he came along. My mom hasn't been the same. She's just so selfish these days,"

"I know," Changkyun sat up, looking over at me. "But if that's what makes her happy, maybe you have to let her make her mistakes. She'll learn soon enough how terrible she's being,"

I nodded quickly. "You're right, it's just so hard,"

Changkyun put his hand on my shoulder, squeezing lightly. "Well, do you want to hear an embarrassing story of my last hook up with a girl?"

Jooheon let out a snort, "This is a good one!"

I smiled, sitting up as well. "Give me all the details!"

We spent the rest of the night telling stories about hookups and relationships, eating pizza, and playing video games before Jooheon had to head home because of working in the morning.

As soon as Changkyun closed the front door, he laughed. "He's totally going to hook up with that barista girl!"

"You think?" I threw away the paper plates from our pizza feast.

Changkyun leaned against the counter. "I know so. He was texting her the whole time, you could tell by his face,"

I giggled. "Hookups are so weird,"

"Why?"

"I don't know," I shrugged, leaning against the counter next to Changkyun. "Having sex with someone you have no emotional involvement with is kind of weird,"

"I get it," Changkyun nodded. "But it's kind of nice if you just want sex,"

"That's what masturbation is for though," I shrugged, pushing myself off the counter and walking towards my room.

"It's not the same!" Changkyun said louder, but then gave me a shocked expression. "Wait, are you saying you-"

"I'm going to finish unpacking. Goodnight!"
