Today's Saturday so all of them were free from classes. Nayeon was already in the kitchen to cook breakfast and her assistant today is Sana. Aside from them, Jackson and Mark went out for jogging earlier this morning, Jinyoung and Mina were up to buy groceries from the traditional market nearby because it's cheaper to shop there than the supermarket. 

Jinyoung was about to go to the kitchen, but he saw Sana was going to the same direction as him. He called out for the younger girl and Sana paused her steps.

"Yes, Jinyoung oppa? Do you need anything?"

"Uh... Can you ask Nayeon to check the fridge and list what should I buy at the market?" 

"Oh, yup, sure," Sana said while smiling. Jinyoung returned the smile.

"Thank you, Sana!" Jinyoung said before he sat at the dining table while waiting for Mina. Well, living with the girls, the boys couldn't help to just be patient in waiting for the girls to dress up even when they were going out to do simple errands. He scrolled down his Instagram timeline to kill time.

"Unnie~" Sana sang and hugged Nayeon's arm. 

"Good morning, Princess of Japan," Nayeon greeted. Since Nayeon is the oldest girl in the house, all the younger one treated her sometimes like a mom, and also a sister. And Nayeon didn't seem to mind that. She loved and cared about the girls like real sister and she's happy that they were comfortable with her too.

"Oh, unnie, Jinyoung oppa asks you to list down what he need to buy at the market," Sana said. Upon hearing that Nayeon made a face.

"He can just say that to myself," Nayeon mumbled but loud enough that Sana can hear as she turned around to check the fridge. Sana just smiled while standing behind the older girl. 

"Sana can you help me chop the chicken while I do the list first?" 

"Okay unnie. What are we going to cook with these?" 

"Chicken sandwich and salad. Or do you want to do the toasts?" Nayeon turned around to look at Sana. Sana grinned sheepishly at Nayeon.

"Toast... is easier, right?" Sana asked. Nayeon chuckled.

"I should've known... Fine, you do the toasts," Nayeon said. Sana laughed and thanked Nayeon. Sana just didn't want to take the risk and ruin everyone's breakfast, that's all. Who knows what will happen to the chicken s if she ever lay her hand on them...

Nayeom hummed to a song while she was doing the checklist. She was so into the task that she didn't notice when Sana said she's going upstairs to get her phone. 

"Sana, can you help me give this to Jinyoung?" Nayeon said while she held out the paper in the air. She roughly scanned the fridge for the last time to make sure she didn't miss anything. She waited, but Sana never came to take the paper from her. Nayeon turned around, only to be greeted with the empty kitchen. Nayeon was hit with confusion before she stood up to look for Sana.

Nayeon walked out of the kitchen before she stopped immediately because she almost bumped into with Jinyoung, who was about to enter the kitchen. Nayeon just looked at Jinyoung with wide eyes and Jinyoung just stared down at the girl, feeling amused that she looked like she just saw a ghost when in fact, it's just him.

"Uh... Do you see Sana?" Nayeon blurted out. Jinyoung's brows raised. Then he saw the paper that Nayeon held in her hand.

"Do you want to ask her to give that to me?" Jinyoung asked. Nayeon looked down at the paper.

"Uh... Yes. Oh, wait I can just give it to you. Here you go, the list," Nayeon mumbled to herself before she handed the list to Jinyoung. Jinyoung had to bit his inner cheeks to refrain himself from smiling and he managed to remain calm. He took the paper from Nayeon.

"Alright, thanks," He said. Nayeon nodded, before quickly turning away and walked back to the kitchen, leaving Jinyoung finally smiling at the girl's cutely awkward act.

Mark and Jackson were walking back while having a little chit-chat about random topics. They usually jog on weekend since they were the only members who did sports seriously. Mark did martial arts when he was younger so he just exercise to maintain his stamina while Jackson was a member of swimming team in his college. Sometimes any girl members attempting to lose weight will join them too but today it was just the two of them.

After about 15 minutes walking from the park, both of them were approaching the house. However, Mark noticed something, more like someone, in front of their house.

"Dude, look," Mark elbowed Jackson and pointed at the direction using his lips. Jackson followed with his eyes, and he saw a girl standing with a large luggage and another smaller bags with her.

"Is that the new girl?" Jackson asked.

"Maybe..."

"She already looks hot from afar," Jackson said, before earning a smack from Mark. Jackson screamed in pain dramatically.

"You don't have better things in your mind?" 

"Everyone's turning into Nayeon these days," He mumbled. Both Mark and Jackson walked closer to the girl. The girl who probably noticed there were people approaching her, instantly turned around.

'Damn, boy. She's really pretty!' Jackson thought to himself once he saw the girl's face.

Mark looked at Jackson waiting for him to talk but Jackson nudged Mark's side, a signal for the older guy to talk instead.

"Uh... Do you need any help... miss?" Mark carefully asked, hoping that didn't sound too creepy or unconvincing.

"Actually I'm looking  for Mrs. Kim Bokhee's boarding house. Is this the right place?' The girl pointed at the house.

"Oh so you're the new member? Yes this is the house. I'm Mark, I live here too," Mark held out his hand for a handshake and the girl accepted it with a shy smile.

"I'm Tzuyu," 

"Tzuyu? You're not Korean?" Mark asked.

"I'm from Taiwan," Mark beamed up at Tzuyu's answer.

"Really? I'm half Taiwanese too, but I grew up in L.A." Mark said. He then looked at Jackson who had been strangely quiet.

"Hey, introduce yourself," 

"Oh, h-hi. I'm Jackson. I live here too," Jackson said. Tzuyu nodded and bowed slightly to him.

"Hi Jackson, I'm Tzuyu," she said. Jackson swore he felt his heart doing flips inside him when she said his name.

"Let us help you with that," Mark said, pointing at Tzuyu's bags. The girl looked quite shy at her number or bags, but she also didn't refuse the help. Jackson lend his hand quietly, and Mark made mental note to ask his roommate later.

Mark lead Tzuyu to the house, he pressed the passcode and the door's unlocked. 

"You guys are ba-- Oh?" Dahyun who was at the living room greeted the boys, but then stopped when she saw Tzuyu.

"Oh! Oh!! Oh my God are you the new girl?!?!" Dahyun asked.Mark chuckled at Dahyun's reaction.

"Yes, I am. Hi, my name is Tzuyu," The girl politely introduced herself and bowed. Dahyun excitedly walked over and hugged the girl.

"Welcome to the house, Tzuyu! And oh my God you're so pretty!!" 

"Is the new girl here already?" Jaebum appeared from the kitchen and walked to the group. Tzuyu once again bowed at him.

"Hello, my name's Tzuyu," she greeted. Jaebum bowed too.

"My name's Jaebum, this is Dahyun. She will be your roommate," Dahyun grinned when Jaebum introduced her at Tzuyu. She had been to excited that she forgot to do so.

"Come, let me show you our room!" Dahyun said, before holding Tzuyu's hand and guide her to the room. Mark and Jackson followed the girls along with the bags.

"Including you, we have 13 members in this house. You've met Mark oppa, he's the oldest here. Jaebum oppa is basically the leader in this house because he stayed here the longest. Jackson oppa, just be extra careful with him, trust me. You'll need my words. As for the others, you'll meet them later. I'm Dahyun, your roommate and I'm born in a year before you. And... that makes you the maknae in this house!" Dahyun cheered. Tzuyu smiled at Dahyun's excitement. She already love her roommate. Dahyun was a cheerful and bubbly person, and she really welcomed Tzuyu in the house so Tzuyu felt really loved and appreciated.

"But... unnie, I'm not really good in Korean yet, so you have to be patient with me," Tzuyu said before she grinned sheepishly.

"Ah, don't worry about that. We'll help you about that, okay?" Dahyun said.

"Thank you, unnie!"

"Hello, my name is Tzuyu. I'm from Taiwan, and born in 1999. Dahyun unnie told me that I'm the youngest here. I'm still not fluent in Korean, so I hope everyone can be patient and help me learn. Nice to meet all of you," All of them cheered and clapped after Tzuyu finish  introducing herself but this time in front of all the members, including the ones she didn't meet yet. They gathered to have breakfast and they took the opportunituly to introduce the new member.

The rest of the members introduced themselves and they honestly feel kind of bad at the new girl because it was obvious that she had difficult time processing and accepting all the new infos.

"Just be comfortable with us, Tzuyu. If you need help in anything, just ask any one of us," Nayeon added. Tzuyu nodded and smiled.

"Thank you, unnie," 

They then started devouring their breakfast- that Nayeon felt bad because it was such a simple breakfast when the new member was here. But they enjoyed it nevertheless because all of them were excited to have a new member with them.
