FIFTH FLOOR .. lhc（✓）

DAY 34

"when will you be back," sua whined into the phone. two months had passed since the whole sleepover incident, and there had been some... changes.

when the twins returned from visiting home, they sat the little noirette down and huiseon informed her that she had to go to london for a while.

"during a pandemic?!" sua had asked, and the eldest responded that it was for school.

"don't worry. i'll be staying in a dorm with a host family the whole time."

"then what's the point in leaving? if you're just going to be inside on a computer the whole time, why not just do that here?!" but both min twins just said that it wasn't that simple.

overwhelmed with confusion, sua had cried. and then hyeseon cried. it was a very embarrassing memory to look back on, but at the time there was no humor in the situation.

it had been over a month since huiseon left and sua still called her every morning, which was around bedtime for the elder. from the stories the noirette received, london was a good fit for the girl... even if she was housebound.

sua heard huiseon sigh gently on the other line. "su, i've only been gone for a month. doyoung tells me that he and the other members visit you and hye all the time."

the noirette pouted. it was true that the members visited when they could, but they were all extremely busy with resonance. all 23 members, that is.

sua was lucky enough to have met sungchan and shotaro (big soft cuties, aka her new babies (sorry chenji)); she even got to visit the wayv dorm. the girl made kun promise to let chip and bella have a playdate one day. hendery already had plans for the two puppies' wedding.

"still. it's not the same as having the full demise here..."

"stop being so emo. even ryuwon's been keeping tabs on you. didn't she bring you her homemade kimchi stew? was it good?"

sua was quiet for a second. of course it was really good, but the girl didn't want to agree with huiseon while she was upset. "... well yeah, but—" "no buts! did you thank her?"

sua groaned, "i did! i'm not a baby." "well you certainly act like one—" the phone was snatched from sua's hand before she could argue back.

"excuse me? yes, sister dearest, our beloved baby in sua has a guest waiting for her at the moment. but i will gladly continue the call—hello?" the younger bit back her laughter as hyeseon stared at the phone in confusion than agitation. "hm. i see how it is."

the sound of sua giggling grabbed the elder's attention. "right! door for you." the noirette's eyes lit up in excitement at the thought of her beloved boyfriend visiting her.

skipping to the door and throwing it open, sua smile shifted into a more staggered one when she saw jeno and renjun instead. "oh?" she questioned, "what are you two doing here?"
