"That dimple is illegal ille~gal. No, it's dangerous, oh yes, so I call you illegirl ille~girl. Your existence alone is a crime. Was it a mistake made by an angel? Or a deep kiss? That dimple is illegal ille~gal, but I want it anyway anyway anyway"

"You should do your face like this every day, Jin-hyung." More laughter. Namjoon arched an eyebrow and looked at Rein almost apologetically before yelling at them.

Sternly, he asked, "What's going on here?"

"Oh, shit," a youthful voice whispered. The laughter stopped and was replaced with dead silence.

Her nerves started to quicken. In a weird way, she had proof of their existence, and now that she couldn't see them as objects, it was harder to see them as her personal chess pieces.

The pair went further into the room until they saw the rest of the members, lounging on plush couches, surrounding Jin. When they turned around, Jin turned with them, revealing two peanuts in his nose. Rein snorted, trying desperately to hold back laughter.

Namjoon, on the other hand, wasn't trying at all. He let out a hearty laugh.

"How did that happen?" he asked in English. Before Jin could explain himself, Yoongi cut in.

"I took care of his makeup for the day," he replied in Korean. "Looks nice, doesn't it?" Jin made a noise of protest. Namjoon shook his head with a chuckle.

"He still looks like Mr. Worldwide Handsome," he said. While he continued to talk to the members for a few more moments, Rein had time to process. Everyone looked slightly worn out, but it was probably because they weren't wearing the stage makeup she had seen in photos and videos.

Yoongi had his signature mint hair, and had his glasses on to boot, as well. She assumed the youthful voice came from Jimin, who looked mortified and sat slightly hiding behind Yoongi. Taehyung and Jungkook were sitting next to each other, still giggling and collectively stopping Jin every time he tried to take out the peanuts. They had seafoam and caramel hair now, so she would have to memorize their faces again. Hoseok was looking Rein up and down with more interest than she usually got.

Finally, Jin made eye contact with Rein. He hastily took out the peanuts before Taehyung and Jungkook could stop him, flipped his blond hair, then nodded in her direction.

"Is that the girl?" he asked, flashing her a megawatt smile. Namjoon looked between them and nodded.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce you to them. Everyone, this is Ms. Jones. Ms. Jones, this is the rest of the team. Y'all will be seeing her for a while, so let's make a good first impression!" Rein smiled. They all waved and said the lines in English they knew, including "hello", "what's up", and "we love ARMY". They seemed quite friendly.

Rein and Namjoon sat down on the remaining couch side by side. Jin rose and glided over to Rein with that same smile. He motioned to himself as he shook her hand.

"I am Jin. I am Worldwide Handsome," he courteously explained. The other members sniggered. Rein grinned.

"Oh, yes. I heard," she said slowly, letting go of his hand. He certainly was handsome, but maybe more so without the peanuts.

Hoseok cleared his throat, then shoved Jin out of the way.

"My name is J-Hope, but you call me Hoseok, yes?" he said with a wink. She turned her face away for a second to catch the eye of Namjoon, who was evidently suppressing a smirk.
