Johnny let out a deep sigh, covering his face with his arm. "She told me alright," he said. "Just processing it."

"You might want to update Iseul about that. She's worried about you," Taeil advised. "You guys need to talk."

"Yeah, I know, hyung. You've been telling me that all week." Johnny snapped, gritting his teeth. "I'd think about your suggestion if you followed it yourself. Kun's still sleeping in the guest room for fuck's sake."

"Johnny—"

Yuta and Bora looked at each other, making shocked expressions. They'd mouth 'what the fuck' to each other and read each other's faces using their shared telepathy.

Johnny's really done it.

Taeil's gonna kill him—

For sure.

"Did you just join us here to pick a fight with me?" Taeil questioned heatedly. "If so, I'd appreciate it if you'd leave."

"What? You get to call me out of my bullshit but I can't do it to you? I really appreciate your help, but hell, you need to fix your own relationship too." Johnny answered back.

"I'm working on that."

"How? Working overtime and never bother going home? You're going back to your old habits."

Not a single peaceful day in this fucking house. Bora groaned to herself, pulling out her phone to text Jaehyun.

Bora smiled to herself at Jaehyun's latest text. She'd call him an idiot, but she knows he's being sincere even though his texts seem cheeky. She replied with a heart emoji and locked her phone, trying to calm the butterflies in her stomach.

When she resurfaced, Taeil and Johnny were still at it but Yuta had joined in the fight. She can't fucking believe this.

"Calm the fuck down. Both of you have problems and instead of fixing them, you two are bitching about it to each other. Either help each other out or solve your fucking problems." Bora had snapped. She can't believe a bunch of grown ass men are acting like this. Ridiculous.
