 Jimin and I were in the studio. Apparently, since he couldn't go on a date with me, he'd just make me come to work with him... That boy... He's too good for me... But he was currently in a separate room, probably changing or something, so I was busy at the piano, playing out random tunes I had learnt over the years. It made me remember the times Yoongi and I would go to piano lessons, and how he'd help me with my pieces on the piano in his house. I was busy playing a mashup of "house of cards" and "I need u" when jimin sat beside me... but I didn't know...

"You're really good!" He clapped when I finished.

"What?" I jumped at the sound of his voice.

"I said you're really good at the piano! Almost better than Hyung! yah, you're so cute!!" He said, pinching my cheek. I swatted his hand away playfully before we began to mess about with the instrument, coming up with different melodies and me teaching him some of the ones I had learned over time. Little did I know, Yoongi was watching us from the doorway...

A while later, Bangtan's manager asked me to help the staff with some camera work and so I was sat down, making sure the lenses were set appropriately. I didn't turn to see the figure who sat down next to me.

"hey..." I began as the figure took the camera away from me, but then I realised that it was only Yoongi and smiled at him.

"Smile," He said before clicking the camera. I chuckled a little as he showed me the picture.

"I should probably delete that," I said.

"Nah. It's too swag,"

"Too swag? My cheeks look way too chubby and my nose looks squished..."

"You aren't chubby or squishy,"

"The photo says otherwise,"

"Are you arguing with me?" I looked at Yoongi as he spoke, frowning at his tone of voice.

"Don't talk to me like that. I'm not a child and that tone is too patronising," I huffed before snatching the camera away.

"Then maybe you should spend a bit more time with me and I wouldn't have to use that tone," He mumbled.
"What?" I asked, knowing what he said but asking him anyway.

"What?" He replied as if he hadn't said a thing.

"Never mind," I sighed, resuming my work. He ended up staying and helping me out, getting closer and closer...

Later that night, I got a text from Jimin.
Jiminie: IS Hyung at your place? He isn't in the dorm or the studio...
Me: No, he isn't... where could he be?
Jimin: He did say he was going out... can I come over?
Me: Pabo, you don't even have to ask!

And a few minutes later, he was snuggled beside me, snoring gently as I pried the mug of hot chocolate out of his hands. I made sure that he was covered up with a blanket and went to fetch him a pillow and a plushie to sleep with.

There was an odd lump in my bed. I pulled the covers off and saw that it was only Yoongi.
Wait... WHAT? How did Yoongi get in here when I've been at home before he had?? I frown and gently take my pillow out of his arms before rushing back to Jimin and placing it under his sleeping head. I bite my lip as I think about where I'm going to "sleep"

I ended up not sleeping at all and just sorting through some old stuff really quietly. I had gotten up to go for a walk and was now making breakfast for the two guys when Yoongi walked in and wrapped his arms around me.
"Yoongi-kun, stop," I try to break free.

"Why?"

"Because. I'm making breakfast and your head is heavy," I reply, trying to shake him off.

"Whatever," He reluctantly let go of me and went to wake up Jimin. I heard a few "Pabo"s and a bit of "Yah Hyung!" but the two came back just as I was setting the table.
"By the way," Yoongi began, "You've been assigned a new photographer to help you,"

"Really? Who?" I asked, munching on a carrot.

"Her name is Yesung. Yes, the Yesung we met a while back," He replied.
"Yesung?"

I was surprised. Yesung? As in the-girl-who-found-me-sleeping-in-the-park Yesung? What surprised me the most was when Yoongi said that he had been the one to accept her offer, especially after he said he didn't like her. 

"Yah Hyung! When did you get here?" Jimin asked sleepily.

"I was here all night," Yoongi replied, "But I'm going now. I need to show Yesung around," And with that, he left. I felt a strange buzzing feeling in my heart but dismissed it as I saw Jimin stuff his face with the breakfast I made. We left together to head to the studio as they wanted to film a video for their fans.

I met Yesung while filming the guys. She was currently mucking about with my camera. I'm not being petty. It had my name on it. I had bought it with my own money and Hitman Bang said I can leave it at the studios as it was really heavy. That is why I was a bit on edge on why Yesung had the camera.

"This is a really nice camera, Yoongi-Oppa!" She giggled, "I really do want to use this one, but the brand is unfamiliar to me... Tsubaki Eui? Is it foreign??"

"It's my camera, actually," I cut in, making my way towards her, "So, in a way, it is foreign. Remember me?" 

She gave me a smirk, "Of course I do! The girl who sleeps in the park! It's been a while, and what a coincidence too!"

I laughed to cover up my eye twitching out of annoyance, "I know right! Now can I have my camera back? I need it," At that moment, Yoongi returned from wherever he went to Yesung.

"Ah, ignore her. She gets really defensive over her cameras. Use it if you want, Eui has so many others," He said, giving me a mocking smile before leading Yesung away, by the waist... I frowned and narrowed my eyes. I shake my head and let it be, not really caring anymore.

That was how it had been for the past month. Anything that I would normally use, or be involved in, was suddenly given to Yesung. It's not that I was jealous- I was very much happy with the work she helped produce and for her to have settled in was a nice thing too, but she was everywhere. I did talk to Mi-Hi about it.

"Hey, Mi-Hi Chan*, should I be worried?" I asked her.

"Maybe? I know how you feel. Lately, Namjoon has been distant. Ever since he met my new roommate, he's always too busy for me. I even caught him texting her... But you don't really have anything to be jealous about, right? You're with Jimin, and I get maybe it's 'cause of the bond you and Yoongi share... Was that of any help?" Mi-Hi replied. I nodded, grateful for all the support she had given me, despite her own mental state.

I sighed and laid back on the couch in my living room, "It feels so weird, though. First, it was my camera, then it was my section of the workspace and now it's my friend... I feel like things are changing so quickly... especially with MAMA in a few weeks," I scratched the itch on my cheek.

"Speaking of which, they've requested Hyeon's presence. He asked the questions as you predicted, but they said it was because all staff present at the time of the album release had to be there too for credits. Hopefully, he takes the bait..." Mi-Hi perked me up a bit.

"Oh, he will. He's a sucker for credit!" I laughed as bittersweet memories emerged for the hundredth time this month. Mi-Hi and I continued to talk when I heard the front door open.

"And Oppa! I can't believe you would put with- oh hello!" Yesung squeaked as Yoongi walked in behind her. 

"Eh? You're home? You said you'd be doing extra work..." Yoongi frowned at me.
"That's what you said. I said I'd be at home today," I replied, getting up to go to my room, "And, can I have my own room tonight? Jimin wanted to have a sleepover with Taetae-Kun and Mi-Hi-chan".

I didn't give him a chance to reply.

A/N: Just to clarify, Eui is Japanese, so she may use Japanese phrases and honorifics from time to time.
