"good morning!" a voice yelled into my ear.

i hissed when the covers were ripped from my warm and tired body. i didn't have to look to know who it was. "fuck you, brian."

he laughed, "only the second day and you're already that comfortable with me. i like that. anyway, i'm not the only one here, you know."

i shot up in bed and finally noticed jae's tall figure hiding behind brian. "sorry, jae. i swear, i'm not usually this bitey."

he shook his head, a slight smile playing at his lips. "i'm used to it, don't worry. brian told me he had a feeling you were going to be like this when he woke you up and i wanted to see it for myself."

i blushed slightly and looked at brian, avoiding jae's eyes. "now, thanks for the morning visit, but get out. i need to change."

defensively, brian jokingly raised his arms in surrender and ushered jae and himself out. i sighed, already wanting this day to end. i walked out to my suitcase in the corner and pulled out joggers and a black crop top. i needed to be comfortable and this was comfortable.

i quickly changed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. after, brain led me by the arm and practically shoved me into the van. i glared at him before smacking him hard on the arm. "don't manhandle me like a toy."

"you're taking forever. it's your fault," he shrugged.

i rolled my eyes. two days and i'm already tired of him and his attitude. though, i can't deny that i still love him a lot. maybe more, now that i met him.

we rode in the car in silence, glances being thrown sneakily around and many of us pretending not to notice. no matter how many times brian tried poking me to get me to look at the tree man behind me, i bit back curse words and tightened my jaw, refusing to look at anyone.

"i'm close to snapping, " i warned brian.

"i don't care. just look at jae's pouty face." i bit my lip. nope, i'm not going to give in into jae's awkward cute act. not when we were two minutes away from jyp.

i kept my gaze in front of me and i felt like i could finally breathe when we parked in front of the building. i shit you not, i jumped out of the car before it was stationary and made a beeline for the entrance. what sucks is that i never got a tour, so i was stuck waiting for the boys.

impatiently, i waited in the hallway, obnoxiously tapping my foot against the tiled floor. why the hell are they taking so long?

my eyes landed on dowoon as he came in and immediately recognized my guitar case. the instruments! i rushed over to him and plucked my guitar from his hands. "i am so sorry, i forgot!"

"next time, don't," sungjin commented, brushing past us and heading to what i presume is where we're going to practice.

frowning, my mood had lowered considerably. i continued ahead when jae called out to me.

"don't worry. he's only like that because you're new and he wants to seem like a good leader. which he is, so i really don't understand why he's being harsher than he needs to. anyway, ready? dowoon and wonpil are going to work on their instruments and we'll be joining them after two hours," jae explained, moving ahead of me and gesturing for me to follow. brian followed suit and all three of us shuffled into the room sungjin disappeared into.

i imitated what they did, placing our instruments in a small corner together and followed to meet sungjin in the center table with his guitar. "ready to start?" he asked. i internally breathed out in relief since his tone was much more softer than earlier and it definitely brought me some peace.
