Jin's POV:

Namjoon's dimples look like black holes. Seriously, if he smiled any wider we'd all be sucked in. He looks happier even than when he finds a crab. He's been like this since he woke up (and then woke us all) I could hear him bouncing around this morning even through my pillow. All this because today Eunmi would be coming to stay with us. I mean sure the rest of us are ecstatic too but Joon is about to go nuclear.

I got up early to help Hoseok with the cleaning (also to search for the source of the noise) to find Namjoon, of all people, rushing about tidying and organising. He wants it all to be perfect and ready before she gets here. She would be discharged from the hospital this afternoon, and be coming straight here. After a lot of whining and pleading with Hitman Bang we convinced him that Eunmi should live with us in safety until the end of the court trial.

I mean sure, she could have gone and stayed in a hotel with the rest of Refract, but we all agreed that she would be better off with us. The whole court thing is still on the down low, but judging from what I know of CEO Kwan his reaction will be terrible when he finds out. Especially when he inevitably discovers that Eunmi is the one heading the case. I for one feel happier knowing that she will be with us, here there will always be someone around to protect her. Whereas in a hotel she could be easily isolated. The thought makes me shudder.

In sudden realisation I notice that I have just been sitting here staring at the newspaper not reading a word as I think. Whoops. Figuring that I won't get much reading done like this I look up from my thoughts to see Joon heading over to the coffee machine. This won't end well.

"Ahh no! No caffeine for you this morning!"

"But..."

"I'm not cleaning you up if you explode. Have some milk instead."

His pout is world class. He turns on the puppy eyes and I have to look away before I either give in or it turns into an attempt at aegyo. That would be terrifying. Thankfully it doesn't get that far and he goes to get a glass of milk (still pouting though).

Over the next few hours I manage to get the house completely ready (it would have been quicker but I had to keep cleaning up after RM whenever he broke something). By the time 4 o'clock comes around his excitement has managed to rub off on the rest of us and even Yoongi is rushing about with a huge grin. Eunmi would be hear any minute, and honestly I was slightly nervous. Everyone has been getting along really well with her so far and has gotten really close with her, but to have her actually live with us is a whole new level. Never mind that now there would be a girl in a house full of seven boys. It would certainly be interesting...

The doorbell rings and Namjoon jumps up like someone lit a firecracker under his chair. Not a minute later he returns carrying a starry suitcase. And behind him follows the woman of the hour.

"EUNMI!!!!" Several streaks cross my vision as she is targeted in an attack of greetings.

"Hey, how are you all?" I can barely here her over the yells and squeals.

Standing back for a moment I wait for the offending members to finish their greetings before she manages to escape. I hold myself back from scolding them, they need to be more gentle, she did just get out of hospital after all. Finally once Hobi, Tae, Jungkook and Jimin are done I step forward to say hi... Only to be interrupted by Yoongi. Well, at least he's making an effort towards social interaction. At last he finishes and I jump in before I can be cut off again.

"I see that you've survived the monkeys. How are you?"

"Haha, ahh I'm doing well. It's nice to be out of the hospital." A cute little smirk crosses her face as she greets me.

"Good to hear, umm so while you're with us you'll be staying in Jungkook's room and he'll be sharing with Jimin and Hoseok. I think Joon has already put your bag there, I'll show you around on the way."

The tour goes pretty quickly, the only hindrance comes from the clumsy guy following us around like a lost puppy. Seriously, the way the he acts around her is getting ridiculous. All blushes and smiles. It's obvious to anyone that he was smitten from the first moment that they met, but of course she seems oblivious. Maybe now that she's staying here I'll be able to 'accidentally' lock them in a room together until he confesses. Or I could arrange to have dinner on the roof top, and 'forget' to tell anyone else. I might even light some candles.

With the tour complete over an hour ago and Eunmi settling in I get back to the kitchen to check on the Yukgaejang that I'm preparing for dinner. Opening the oven I see that I have returned in the nick of time, the beef is perfectly ready to go in the soup. Any longer and it would have burnt. The smell from the juicy meat is making me drool, I can barely wait for the twenty minutes it takes for the dish to be done. I can't resist a mouthful as I serve it, I just needed to check if it was poisoned...

"DINNER IS READY!!" I yell before standing back from the door and taking a seat so that I don't get hit by the avalanche of  hungry bodies. After a few moments of chaos everyone is seated.

"Jalmukesumnida!!" Everyone shouts in unison before beginning to eat.

Soon the usual dinner banter starts up, with teasing and laughing accompanied by the occasional slap or kick. I had kinda hoped that with a guest they might be a little more civilised, but if anything they're worse. Ari fits in with the group like she was here from the start. There's just something about her. She's impossible not to like. Since the time that we first met each of us was entranced by her. Her small and cute appearance as well as the sweet personality and sense of fun, then changing to this veritable goddess when she steps on stage. I have begun to see her almost as family, like a little sister. I can tell that the following weeks will certainly entertaining.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
After the intense last few chapters I felt that it was time to have some fun so that's how this started. Let me know what you think of it 😊🙏🏻

Question of the week:
I'm kinda tired so this is an easy one, what is your favourite colour?

Mine is yellow because it's such a happy, bright colour (but I would never be caught wearing it), I also like grey because it's a mix of black and white (and goes well with yellow)

Anyway see you next time 😘😘
