"SAMUEL TAEMIN PARK!" Irene yells in his face as he opens the door. "Well hello to you too Irene Garnet Park."

"You're middle name is Taemin! PFTTTT!!" The boys laugh in the background. He rolls his eyes. "YES IN FACT IT IS! Now Samuel, please do tell me why you DON'T listen to your emotions when it comes to romance."

"Simple, I'm an idol Ren! I can't exactly fall in love in this line of business."

"Oh my god.... Do you really listen to what society says? What K-Netz say? Sammy you've literally said fuck you to Coachella this year and openly said you support LGBTQ+ as well as other minorities and ethnicities. You don't do inside the box."

"Let's talk in my room." Jisung raises an eyebrow. "I'm sure we'll be hearing angered screaming from Irene..." Felix mumbles. Hyunjin and Minho nod. "She's a little fireball ain't she." Changbin mumbles. Felix gives a glare to Changbin. Hyunjin laughs and Seungmin smirks. "She's a self-assured hot-head with a temper. Those do not mix in the best way."

"Yeah, I think she gets it from Sammy." They look to Chan who's drinking water from a cup. "Seungjae-Hyung's not hot-headed."

"You haven't seen him get really mad then. Nor have you seen Sammy growing so angry at someone that you fear he'll burst a vein. He has a hidden hot-headedness. It's because he hides it behind his cold analytical exterior."

"You seem to know a lot about Hyung."

"It happens when you live with someone for so long." Chan smiles fondly and goes to the kitchen. They all look to each other. "Did we just see Chan-Hyung fondly talk about Seungjae-Hyung?"

"Yep." They look back to Chan and then at Sammy's door. "What tension is happening between them?"

"No idea."

- I.N, Jisung, Sammy's Room

"Samuel Taemin Park..." Irene glares at Sammy. "Irene Garnet Park." He cooly smiles back. "YOU infuriate me."

"In the best way possible though."

"I've lost years due to your dense head!"

"Hmm, don't think so." Sammy smiles. Irene grinds her teeth together and breaths heavily in through her nose. "You-"

"Are the most handsome man alive? Yeah I know." He winks. Irene's eye twitches. "Let's start from square one. What you think idol's should do in a romance situation."

"If they're dating ban is over or they have no dating ban they should keep it under wraps if the feeling is mutual."

"Then what about you in a romance situation?"

"I shouldn't jeopardize Stray Kids' career by dating someone."

"What if it was one of your own members."

"Homophobia in Korea is the worst and Korean Netizens would destroy Stray Kids and myself. I can't do that. They'd also tarnish JYP's name. I'd feel guilty for causing such trouble to everyone. I can't be a burden again." Irene's anger dissipates in a second and her eyes soften. "Sammy... you're not a burden and you never have been."

"Then why do I feel as if I always am?" Sammy gave pleading teary eyes to Irene who surged forward and hugged him. "You aren't a burden to me, to Mae, to Mom and dad, to Tsukki and Dahee, to Stray Kids, to your friends. You're not a burden at all. You're our support beam and we love you with all our hearts." Sammy hugs his sister back. Irene mumbles, "If you don't want to talk about it that's fine but never tell yourself you're a burden, because you're not alone. You have us." Sammy nods. The two sit like that for a while. That is until Jisung comes in with Changbin and Minho is tow.
