"If you got kicked out of your house, aren't you homeless now?" Chan asked Changbin after he'd put Yena to bed that night. They were sat in the living room with Chan on one side of the sofa, starting at Changbin who was on the other side, eating his third Pop-Tart of the night. Chan made a mental note to buy more of those in future, even if they were quite expensive.

Changbin scoffed, "yeah, thanks for reminding me of that."

"Well obviously I'm not going to let you be homeless," Chan rolled his eyes, "have you ever had a job?"

"Obviously," Changbin mumbled, "I've had like six...for a week each."

"A week?" Chan frowned, "what did you do to get fired that quickly?"

"Hey, I quit most of them!" Changbin corrected, "well, ok I quit two of them. The other ones I forgot to turn up to or just wasn't very good at."

Chan sighed, "so you don't know who Aristotle is, you don't like the night sky and you can't hold down a job for longer than a week?"

"Correct."

"It's a good thing you're cute then."

"I can get a job and keep it for longer than a week, it's not that hard!" Changbin declared, "I just didn't want to before, but I can do it now."

"Oh really? Are you sure?" Chan asked as he watched Changbin nodding and swallowing the last piece of his Pop-Tart before properly answering.

"Yeah, I can get one and then I can find somewhere else to live."

"You can live with me, I don't mind that. I was just asking because this place is a bit small. I'm planning on moving somewhere bigger when I save up enough money," Chan explained.

Changbin nodded again as he looked around. The room they were in was practically a box with all of the furniture tightly compacted together. His bedroom was even more cramped with one side of the bed pushed up against the wall. "Yeah, it's like five times smaller than my apartment and my mum doesn't even work."

Chan scoffed, "thanks for that."

"Well, if I get a job then we can put our money together and get somewhere bigger. Maybe Jisung will want to join us too and then we can get one even better," Changbin suggested, making Chan chuckle.

"That's a genius idea, baby! Well done for coming up with that, I definitely didn't already!"

"Are you being sarcastic?" Changbin frowned.

"Pfft, no, definitely not!" Chan said, his lips turning up into a smirk.

"You're a dick."

"Do I want to move in with you?" Jisung asked over the phone with utter disbelief. He'd only gotten up twenty minutes ago and it was too early for him to comprehend such an important question. He was still wiping the sleep from his eyes as he lay down in bed, wishing he could have slept just a little bit longer.

"Yeah, do you want to?" Chan asked.

"Uh, one minute," Jisung mumbled, his brows knitting themselves in a knot as he sat up and ran a hand through his hair. "Where is this question coming from?" He enquired, giving up on trying to sort out his mess of a bedhead when he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. He was so glad nobody could see him right now.

"Well, Changbin's moving in so we thought maybe you would want to as well?"

Jisung furrowed his brow deeper, "okay...isn't your apartment a bit small for the three of us? Especially when you have Yena on Saturday. Where are we supposed to sleep, the bathtub?"
