▪︎Timeskip▪︎

Several weeks had passed by and they would be flying to Korea the next day. They were all currently in the living room, talking to eachother.

"So, tomorrow is the day we fly to Korea" Leeseong stated.

"I won't be able to sleep again later. I can't stop thinking about it" Man Weol smiled in excitement.

"You don't need to be so sarcastic about it Man" Seongjun smirked.

"I'm not" Man Weol answered.

"As much as how excited you all are, I can't relate at all" Seongjun pouted.

"Then we'll leave you here by yourself. No money, no food, no phone either-" Leeseong commented.

"Alright! You can stop!" Seongjun face-palmed and gave Leeseong a look. Leeseong snickered in return.

"Relax, it'll be fun once we get there!" Joonsung piped up.

"What time is our flight tomorrow again brother?" Ji-Rae asked Baekjun.

"1 in the afternoon"

"That's great! We can have spare time to take a stroll around the neighborhood before we leave" Joonsung hummed.

"What about when we get to Korea though? Won't we have some place to live in?" Seongjun asked the lot.

"I bought an apartment we can stay in" Baekjun answered, "The price is fine and all the others things like electricity and water there is decent. There are other people in the apartment building too so we can't always be noisy"

"Nice" Seongjun muttered out.

"Alright then, let's start packing" Joonsung clapped his hands together and stood up. The others copied him and they all went upstairs to their own rooms.

Ji-Rae went to her room and started rummaging through the things that she'll be bringing with her and the ones that she'll have to let go and leave behind.

'I can't believe we're actually flying to Korea tomorrow' Ji-Rae thought.

"Just the thought of leaving this house makes me feel glum for some reason" Ji-Rae muttered out. She clicked her tongue and felt around her pocket.

She realized what she was doing and lightly hit her forehead.

"Oh right, I don't have a phone" she smiled at her own silliness and stood up.

She trudged her way out of her room and to her brothers' room.

She peeked in the doorway to find the room a complete mess.

The room was cluttered with shirts and coats along with pants and other necessities. They were all Man Weol's. There were boxes on top of four other beds and fhe clothes were neatly folded.

The only one there was Man Weol, no Joonsung, no Leeseong, no Seongjun, no Baekjun. Man Weol was sittting up on the floor, staring at his wardrobe.

"What in all things holy happened here? The room is a complete mess..." Ji-Rae stepped inside the room.

"Brother, why are your clothes all over the place? Did your closet explode or something?" Ji-Rae smirked, picking up a shirt from the floor and playfully threw it to Man Weol's side.

"It was supposed to hit your face but that's fine" she snickered.

"Care to explain why, brother?" She tilted her head.

Man Weol continued to stare at his closet with pure horror, not uttering a word.

"Brother?"

Man Weol slowly turned his head to look at Ji-Rae, fear still evident in his eyes. Ji-Rae continued to stare at him with slight worry as he did so.

"I-I saw a r-roach" Man Weol stuttered out slowly.

Ji-Rae stared at him for a bit befofe her lips slowly crept up into a smile.

"Pfftt— HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" she burst out laughing, "You? The 'oh so great and mighty king' is afraid of roaches? My goodness!! I can't believe it!"

"H-hey! Stop laughing!! If you saw how many they were, you'd freak out too! There was a whole army of them!!!"

"Brother, you sound like a complete a 7 year old"

"Ji-Rae, I'm serious! Stop laughing!"

"Wait, there's a roach!"

"WHAT?! WHERE??"

"There, on your foot!"

"AAAAA GET IT OFF" Man Weol started shaking his foot, trying to shake off the roach that wasn't there in the first place.

Ji-Rae laughed harder, leaning over and clutching her stomach. "You look ridiculous right now"

"STOP LAUGHING AND GET IT O F F"

"There was no roach in the first place! Stop shaking, you look like you're having a seizure"

"You punk! You're so mean Ji-Rae!!"

"Sorry~"

"What happened here?" Baekjun came in the doorway along with Seongjun, Leeseong and Joonsung.

"Why in all things holy is the room cluttered with Man Weol's clothes?" Seongjun asked, bewildered at the sight before him.

"I said the same thing when I came in here" Ji-Rae snickered.

"Man Weol, I said p a c k your things not decorate the whole room with them!" Joonsung huffed, "Clean up all this clutter, now! I'm not cleaning after your mess again!"

"Yes, mom"

"Call me mom again, I dare you"

"What even happened anyway?" Leeseong asked, stopping the two from bickering.

"He saw roaches in his closet. He said there was a whole army of them" Ji-Rae answered, chuckling at the memory of her brother shaking his foot vigorously.

"Hope they win their war against him, then" Leeseong smirked.

"You all are so mean"

"I can't believe you're actually afraid of roaches. Hilarious" Seongjun chuckled, heading to his part of the room and rummaging through his closet.

"Don't you dare put that up on your blog" Man Weol hissed.

"Fight me" Seongjun laughed.

"By the way, I came here to borrow a phone. If it's okay?" Ji-Rae smiled.

"Oh, you can borrow mine! It's on my bed" Joonsung motioned to his bed. Ji-Rae went and took the phone from the bed and proceeded to head out.

"What did you need the phone for anyway?"

"I need jams" Ji-Rae grinned.

"Typical. You're jamless, so that's understandable" Seongjun joked.

"Rude, but not true. I'm full of it~ Unlike you"

"Point. But seriously, you need a phone"

"Buy me one then"

"Yeah, no"

"Whatever. I'm going back to my room. Thanks for letting me borrow your phone brother!"

"No worries kultaseni. Tell me if you're having trouble with packing" Joonsung smiled.

Ji-Rae went to her room and sat down on the floor. She unlocked Joonsung's phone and went to look for songs she can play that could at least lift her mood. She found a perfect playlist and went ahead and pressed play.

She raised the volume and put the phone on her bed, continuing to take out one of the few small boxes from under her bed.

She put one on her bed and took out the other two. She was quietly sorting out the necessities inside the two boxes when she heard something fall.

She looked and saw something beside her foot, almost under the bed.

Her brows furrowed.

"Okay? What's this?"
