"we're getting a seventh member?" mark repeated, his legs sitting like a butterfly in the middle of the dance practice studio.

jyp nodded, eyeing the rest of the boys who were lost in their own minds. for them it was difficult to comprehend the fact that after so many years of training together; they'd be basically forcing another person into their little family of six. "since it's sunday tomorrow you'll be on your day off. myself and jaebum decided for youngjae to meet you all on monday and then it's up to him when he's able to move into the dorm."

after a couple more words of exchange, the record producer left the boys to themselves, a chorus of "thank you's" sounded in reply as the studio door shut close.

immediately, jackson exclaimed, "OH MY GOD WE'RE GETTING AN ADDITION TO THE FAMILY."

"you're making it sound as if we're adopting a dog," jinyoung rolled his eyes with a laugh, but the older boy merely ignored him and slid across the floor to where jaebum was sitting.

"what's he like?" he whisper shouted.

taken aback, jaebum shrugged his shoulders, "youngjae? seems okay. he's sixteen i think, older than bambam anyways—"

"—you've got some competition in the maknae line," jackson wiggled his eyebrows at bambam and yugyeom who sat beside each other. turning his attention back to jaebum, he continued to interrogate him, "but like, what's be like? loud? quiet? hot?—"

flustered, jaebum avoided the younger's gaze, "um, how about you see for yourself when he comes."

unsatisfied, jackson stomach-slided towards yugyeom, "—you, child," he glittered his eyes, "you've been with the boy all day, so can you tell us what kind of person this youngjae guy is? because jaebum is extremely un-cooperative—"

in the background, jaebum protested, reminding the younger that honorifics exist, but just like the rest of the group, jackson shrugged the thought away mindlessly.

"—well," yugyeom pondered, "he's very good at singing for starters. he didn't talk much, but i guess that's just because he was still quite overwhelmed by the day. and um—" he paused, "he's nice?"

with a poker face, jackson looked at him with a flat glare, "that was very informative," sarcasm laced through his voice.

yugyeom rolled his eyes (and of course jackson erupted into a 'DID YOU JUST ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME?' and proceeded to attack the maknae with tickles).

jaebum sighed, "my biggest worry is that we'll scare him away," he let his gaze slip at jackson and yugyeom running around the room as bambam rolled around.

mark laughed at his remark, but jinyoung sat there quietly, his expression was faceless as his eyes dimmed into the floor.

"anyways," jaebum bounced up from the floor, clapping his hands loudly, "back to work, we've got two hours, let's not waste them."

the leader's words rang loud and clearly, and soon enough, the group assembled back together and continued their sample choreographies for the monthly evaluation.

no one knew what this situation could turn into, but no one could deny their curiosity relating to youngjae. in particular, someone specific.
