CHAPTER 7

I slept early last night; it was a good one too. I went up the building and to PD-nim's office. We were inside for almost half an hour to do some talking and signing of paper works. My decision kind of saddened me, but I had some thinking for myself and it was final. I didn't get to see the boys in here today because PD-nim said they're on break. With all the papers at hand, I went back to the parking area. I got inside the car starting up the engine with a light heart as I looked at my rear view mirror to check on my luggage, other bags, and boxes with everything I owned from my apartment.

I decided to live with the boys. Upon noticing PD-nim's car waiting for me, I stepped on the gas to follow them to the dormitory; my new home. I noted in mind that the dorm was just a few minutes away from both the BigHit Building and My Office, and I felt relieved.

Once we got to their floor, it seems PD-nim already had them gather around the common room because I was shocked when I entered the room and have seven eyes just as wide as mine. Guess they haven't been informed yet because they were still wearing their pajamas.

They began to show panic in their faces, eyes wandering between PD-nim and I. Before they could rampage about what's going on, PD-nim started to explain.
"[KR] Well you better get used to it." they all froze and listened intently. "Y/n will be living in this dorm for a while. So please clean up if there is a need to. And welcome her warmly." He gestured for me to say something.
"Thank you for having me here." I said and bowed.
"Welcome to the dorm." As the one who could understand English better, Namjoon broke the silence first and smiled shyly. And the others followed what he said.

PD-nim excused them so they could fix themselves to be presentable before we could eat the breakfast we bought along the way here. And while they're at it, PD-nim himself showed me around the area and pointed which rooms' what and which rooms' whom. And lastly, he led me to my room which was nearer to Jungkook's and just around the corner was Jin and Yoongi's shared room. he opened the door for me to take a peek and I was amaze that my things were already brought up which I left at the lobby earlier. And also, it was so cozy and I reacognized, It was somewhat similar to Taehyung and I liked it.

Just as I closed my door, Jungkook got out from his room and eventually we went back to the dining room together with him. It didn't take long for the others to fill out the empty chairs and soon we also filled out our empty stomachs.
PD-nim left first because he said he still have some things to do, leaving the eight of us alone in the kitchen.

"Waaah~" they all looked at me, sitting at the chair at the edge of the table as they expressed their amazement. I smiled and looked at each of them from left to right.

Hours have passed and we were exhausted from playing a card game called 'Uno'. We were just about to build our friendship but I think it will be destroyed in a matter of seconds. This game is just not user friendly I guess. Some are teaming up whenever someone had only a few cards left. And they end up betraying each other at the end.
Everyone tried so hard not to lose because unsurprisingly, we agreed for a punishment. Each of us wrote a punishment and the winner will be the one to pick a punishment for the loser. I happen to be the winner because to my advantage, I've played this game before more than the boys have, but to be honest, I suck at this game and it was merely my pride striving to win.

I laughed along when the game ended and the loser was Yoongi. It is because, as an Army, I know too well how Yoongi and Jimin are the unlucky duo even from back when they were in Rookie King. I confidently picked a paper but the content shattered my dreams away. My facial expression made the other curious asking what was in it.
"It's in Korean. I can't understand." I fake laughed. Ofcourse I understand! My reasoning was more than an excuse than acting. As the others read it, except Yoongi who was still lifelessly waiting on the floor, they burst into laughter. Some were complaining it isn't even a challenge. But it was... for me.
"The winner has to kiss the loser on the cheek." Namjoon translated. Yoongi's spirit suddenly came back.
"[KR] what the... don't joke around. Seriously, what's the punishment so I can get done with it?" He complained but the gummy smile was plastered on his face.
"[KR] No, seriously Hyung. That was the punishment." Jimin said. Yoongi stood and snatched the paper and read it himself.
"[KR] Ah Seriously!!!" he kneeled as if defeated on a fight but the gummy smile grew wider, he crouched down to hide. It also made me smile in disbelief and face-palmed literally. When he sat back up, he was poker faced again, but the blush was clear on his face. "[KR] Let's go let's go. So we can finish it." he stood up and went near me, "I'm so sorry, y/n. you don't have to do it." he said in stops, saying it word by word.
"No it's okay" I smiled. I mean, it's not that bad. It's just...awkward. And it's Yoongi, he might spit fire at me if we do this. He might hate me for life. I was startled when he basically threw himself at the sofa and sat beside me. I eyed the others and they were watching us in silence, some fidgeting, probably waiting for Yoongi to eat me alive.

I inhaled deeply before turning my body to face him and exhaled slowly. He seemed relax, but his opened eyes scares me. I didn't want to embarrass myself more so I took a quick inhale and quickly dive my lips into Yoongi's cheeks. But the peck sounded loudly that it echoed throughout the small common room and I just had to bury my face with embarrassment. And Yoongi lay down to the other side of the sofa. While the others teased him, poking him everywhere while screaming and imitating the sound of my peck.

Thank God they didn't install some micro camera on me. That might've ended this job right away. The awkwardness stayed with the both of us for a moment but eventually disappeared ad we played another game where the punishments doesn't involve things like that. The one who made the dare apologized for not considering the situation if ever I would've picked it, which it did really happen...and it was Taehyung.

We were having fun playing, having Lunch as a break, and now it's already time for dinner. The boys were thinking of ordering for dinner again. Our lunch was just Jjajangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, dumplings which were also ordered. And now they want chicken.

"Do you guys always eat ordered food?" I suddenly blurted out. But there's no turning back. They all looked at me, mainly because they don't understand and Namjoon because he understands.

"Uhh, Yeah. We don't usually eat here because of our work. But when we are at home, we just order food. We got used to not cooking in here at all. But we still got to eat home-cooked food when we go home to our families, if that's what you're worried about." He explained and smiled. He was right and I can't help but feel sad. We were somewhat the same. Because of work, we rarely feel the feeling of home. So I just nodded and let them order some chicken.

Apparently, there were tons of beer and energy drinks in their fridge. So it basically became a Chicken and Beer night. By the time the clock strikes 9, we had finished quite a number of cans. Before anyone could get drunk, we decided to go off to bed. But Namjoon was mumbling about finishing some music and I'm sure Yoongi will be doing the same too. I just hope I didn't waste any of their time by motivating them to play. We spent too much time playing that I didn't have the strength to arrange my things to their respective places. Or my laziness just caught up with me after doing so many activities a day which I haven't done for a long time. Right when my head hit the pillow, after I changed into pajamas, I doze off.

A knock was heard from the door. I wasn't used to have someone knock at my bedroom door so it scared me for a second. It took me a while to remember that I wasn't in my apartment anymore. I groaned to inform the person knocking that I'm awake as I checked my phone for the time,
5:00am
"Y/n-ssi?" he called out and I recognized Jimin.
"What is it?" I replied softly but adding a hint that I don't want to be awaken.
"Uhh..." he trailed. I could hear some whispers indicating he wasn't alone. "Bang SiHyuk PD said..." the mention of his name caught my attention; I heard them whispering again "we should bring you to practice." Someone whispered again, "you should get ready." And he there was silence. "Y/n?"
"Okaaay. I'll be there." I replied clearly now. "Okay." Jimin said and I assumed he was gone.

I think my life will be like this from now on. I'm not really a morning person but I have to get used to it now.
