Immediately after the last performance he was sent back to the dorm early to pack and then immediately on a plane. He couldn't even properly say goodbye to all the boys. He messages them in their group chat goodbyes. He messages Aiden at the airport. Who responds with a winking emoji.

Immediately he's in the house he was in before. Aiden and some of the other cast are helping him settle in again. Jocelyn sits down on his bed as he unpacks. "Sam you have no idea what you missed between me and Vivian."

"Well it looks like you'll tell me." He grins. So Jocelyn retells the glorious dates they went on and the electrifying kiss they had. He chuckles at that part. "Looks like you and Vi are definitely a thing."

"Oh yeah! We're dating! I forgot to add that!" Jocelyn's eyes are shimmering. He chuckles. "I couldn't even say goodbye to my best friend... Chris you know him. I mention him all the time."

"When are you two going to get together? I mean you've been putting it off for the longest time. It's like you two like each other but are dancing around each other."

"Maybe I am..."

"Be like Max! Ask him out!"

"It's not that simple Joce. I kissed him! Then he told me to keep quiet about it!" He flops on the bed and groans. Jocelyn rubs his back. "Did it feel good? Like it was right?"

"Yes." He whispers. She nods. "You know Sam, that it's the first step in acknowledging your feelings."

"I've loved him for the longest time Joce! Even before Jonghyun! I mean, hell, sometimes I still dream about Jonghyun but it always ends with Chan. Chan is the source of all my lovesickness." She laughs. "Yeah, that sounds about right."

"You know JYP will kill me if anyone spilled this."

"We're your friends. I'm your friend. Trust in us." Sammy nods and the two cuddle. "I mean while I miss Stray Kids, a lot, I also miss Ray, Sophie, you guys, Marissa, Evelyn, Minxie."

"You have a lot of female friends."

"Add that to the amount of female idols I know and have befriended over the years." Jocelyn rolls her eyes. "You're living proof that boys can be friends with girls without falling in love."

"I think I've fallen in love more with boys then girls." Jocelyn snorts. "I've fallen in love with more boys than girls too." They lay in comfortable silence. They hear the cast having fun in the living room. "Shall we join them?"

"Yeah. It would be for the best." They trudge to the living room where most of the cast is playing Mario Kart. Sammy raises an eyebrow at the absolute terror it has caused. "Apparently this destroys friendships." He commented to Jocelyn who chuckled.

They sit down on the white loveseat. Aiden pouts and Vivian asks Jocelyn to sit by her. Aiden, once Jocelyn has moved, sits next to Sammy. "Hey." Aiden smiles. Sammy gives a small smile and yawns, "Hey." Aiden giggles. "Did you have fun in Korea?"

"Well I was busy with our comeback and freaking out with my sisters to pay attention to anything else. Also probably because I've lived there for so long." Aiden nods. "These guys missed having you around."

"Huh and you didn't?"

"No, no! I did! Just-"

"Not as much as the others. I got ya." Sammy pushes Aiden with his foot jokingly. Aiden rolls his eyes. "I heard you and Jocelyn talking... you have a crush?"

"On my band mate. Chan. You know him. I've babbled enough for anyone to tell." Sammy looks at the TV. Tony won. Sammy grins. "Samuel! I challenge you!" Tony says loudly. Tony was from Brazil and moved to the USA after becoming an actor. He's fluent in Spanish and English. He's learning German currently. He's a boisterous type of person as well. "Alright." Sammy gets on the floor and takes Peng's controller. "Next time bud." Peng pouts and sits next to Jocelyn who ruffles his hair. Peng was Jocelyn's adoptive younger brother. Her parents adopted him from China. Jocelyn herself was adopted from Portugal. This is because her parents couldn't have biological kids for health reasons.
