'Do you need some help?' Jeno called from the living room.
'Can you do it yourself, Eunji baby?' Haechan added, grinning, but she ignored him completely.
'I'll go and help,' Jaemin said, already getting up.

Eunji put the popcorn bag inside the microwave and poured cola into the glasses, the soft clinking echoing in the quiet kitchen.
'Can I help?' Jaemin asked, leaning against the doorframe, watching her.
'Uh, no... it's alright,' she replied without looking at him.
He stepped closer anyway, standing beside her.
'Yuki's cute...' he mumbled absentmindedly.
Eunji froze. She turned to glare at him. 'Don't you dare sleep with her.'
'I will,' he smirked, like it was nothing.
'Jaemin, no. You won't.' Her voice softened despite herself. 'You said you wanted to stop...'
He looked down, the smirk fading just a little. 'I was just kidding.'
She studied his face for a second before letting out a breath. 'That's good.' She reached up and ruffled his hair. 'White hair looks good on you.'
He smiled faintly.
She pulled the popcorn out of the microwave and poured it into a bowl. When she turned around, she found Jaemin crouched down, Bella nudging his hand with her nose.
He looked up, catching Eunji staring. 'Bella seems to like me.'
'Yeah...she does,' Eunji murmured, watching them.
'Maybe she thinks I'm your boyfriend,' he teased.
'Oh, shut up.'
She walked past him, but before she could leave the kitchen, Jaemin grabbed her wrist gently, stopping her. She turned around.
'If I could rearrange the alphabet,' he said with a grin, 'I'd put "U" and "I" together.'
She burst out laughing. 'Oh my God, what's wrong with you?' She shook her head and walked away, still smiling.

The house was filled with chaos, screaming, laughing, absolutely zero actual singing.
Eunji eventually collapsed onto the couch beside Jaemin, exhausted. He was busy hyping up Jeno and Yuki as they butchered a song together.
He glanced at Eunji and leaned closer, whispering, 'They're so whipped for each other.'
She nodded, laughing softly. 'Jaemin.'
'Hm?'
'Aside from being sexy, what do you do for a living?' she teased.
