You stare at the group, trying to think of what your chosen rules will be. You want to make them good to give you some kind of advantage over them.

"The first rule, is that no one touches me," you firmly say, causing Abs to roll his eyes. You glower at him for a moment before continuing. "And I want it to be clear that if I'm your manager, we're equals."

"Equal rights?" Mystery scoffs and rolls his shoulders. "But you're below us. You are a pitiful, pathetic-"

"We accept your terms." Jinu cuts him off and smiles at you. He ignores the curse that Mystery mutters under his breath. "No touching, and equal rights. Is that it?"

"Uh... Yeah." You nod hesitantly. "But I can add rules whenever I want!"

"Do we get to make rules?" Romance inquires, sweeping some of his hair out of his face. "Because I can think of a couple good ones..."

Jinu shoots him a nasty look before smoothing his expression out, returning his gaze to you. "Ignore him. Romance hasn't learned to keep his mouth shut yet."

You swallow thickly, ignoring Romance as he blows you kisses. You don't know how to feel anymore. You're exhausted, hungry, and honestly just maybe want a hug.

But that's just the touch-starvation speaking.

"We have a show tomorrow," Baby suddenly says, eyes narrowed at you. "But after that, it's up to you to arrange fan meets, shows, and events."

"Yeah, I know what a manager does," you snap at him. "I've only been doing it for years, after all!"

"Woah," Jinu says, holding his arms out in an attempt to calm you and diffuse the situation. "Baby's just a bit mad about earlier, okay? But no harm done, we can just move on, right?"

You take a deep breath, blowing it out heavily instead of punching someone. "Right. Let's move on. Take me home."

"Oh, but that's one of our rules," Romance croons as he shifts closer to you, rocking forward into his knees to sit up. "You live here, with us."

Your eyes widen in horror. "Absolutely not. I'm not staying here."

"Why not?" Abs arches an eyebrow at you. "We not good enough for you? Wow, and I thought we were friends."

"Well, we're not," you sharply retaliate. You cross your arms over your chest and shake your head. "I have a perfectly good apartment, and I'll live there. I'm your manager, so we should maintain a professional relationship."

"Is that one of your silly rules?" Mystery asks, adjusting his sleeves. "Because I think you can manage us just fine from our home. You can leave, of course, but you'll live here."

"Unless," Baby says, lips curling back to flash sharp canines that are almost fang-like, "you don't think you can do it. Unless you think living this close to us will cause... unprofessional behaviour."

You tip your head back and laugh. Your shoulders shake with how much his comment amuses you. "Oh- Oh my God. You- You think-" You cut yourself off to laugh again.

Something flickers across Baby's face, almost as if he's offended. But he brushes the emotion aside and stalks closer to you. "You think that's so funny, huh?"

Jinu presses a hand to Baby's chest, gently keeping him away from you. "Hey, remember that we need her," he murmurs, and you barely pick up on what he's saying. "Where else would we find a manager who fits our criteria?"

"Do I get a room?" You sigh and uncross your arms, letting them fall to your sides. 

Abs grins. "Oh, but we only have five rooms. Looks like you'll have to share with someone."

The corner of Jinu's mouth pulls up into a smirk. "Be nice, Abs. She can stay in my room. It's not like I sleep a lot anyways."

Romance snorts out a short laugh, as if it's a funny joke. "No, you don't. But by that logic, she could use any of our rooms."

"We could pass her around," Baby suggests, eyes glinting. "Almost like a toy... I've always been good with sharing."

Mystery's mouth curves. "I like the sound of that. Sharing is caring, after all."

"She'll use my room, because I haven't decorated it, yet," Jinu says, tone filled with a hidden meaning. The others seem to understand, since they all sigh and nod. "We'll take you shopping, and you can pick some stuff out to make it feel like home."

"Great," you sarcastically say. "Just how I want to spend my time."

You walk into the shopping centre, accompanied by the Saja Boys, who are all dressed in hats and masks. Apparently their fame has skyrocketed since their debut.

"So, what do you think you'll buy?" Romance asks as he walks by your side. "New clothes? A couple of plants?"

"I'm going to repaint the room," you announce. "It looks like an emo teenage boy's room. Not my style."

Abs chuckles and elbows Jinu. "You hear that? You're emo."

"I'm what?" Jinu frowns, forehead creasing in bewilderment. You've never seen him this genuinely confused before. 

"Emo," Mystery murmurs. "Think of an angsty person. I'm sure you used to have them back in the day, right?"

"You've never heard that term?" you question Jinu curiously. "What kind of rock do you live under?"

Jinu ignores you and motions ahead to a decor shop. "There. Go wild."

You run ahead to the store, picking out a nicer colour than all the black. You shove them into Abs' chest who struggles to carry them all. Baby is forced to carry practically a new wardrobe's amount of clothes as Mystery is given a box with an unbuilt chair inside.

"You really need all of this?" Baby skeptically asks. 

You shoot him a glare. "Shut up and carry. If you still have enough energy to talk, you still can carry more."

Baby keeps his mouth pursed into a thin like after that. Abs seems to find amusement in that, chuckling softly under his breath.

It's weird, because you don't even pay for the stuff. One of the members distracts you while another one pays. But you don't ever hear the beep of a machine, and the worker has glassy eyes afterwards.

"Let's head back," Jinu eventually decides. "You can paint, and we can practise for tomorrow's show. You can never be too prepared."

Right. The new show, with your new group. It's a lot to process, but luckily you have a lot of painting in your future. It'll keep you busy.
