One morning, Joshua found himself in the kitchen, busy preparing breakfast. Sensing someone's presence, he turned around to see Sana and Minghao, who had just woken up. Joshua frowned playfully and teased, "I thought I was your favorite oppa, Sana-yah?" 

Minghao couldn't help but laugh and retorted, "Don't try to be funny, hyung. You know I'm her favorite." Sana chuckled, shaking her head. Here they were again, her beloved brothers playfully arguing over who held the title of her favorite. 

Joshua looked at Sana with a theatrical sigh, pretending to be exasperated. "Don't laugh, Sana. This is a serious matter," he declared with a hint of amusement. "Who is actually your favorite?" 

As Sana approached the stove, yawning, she peered at what Joshua was preparing. With a sleepy smile, she replied, "Well, you're the one cooking now, so I guess I like you more at this moment."  

"Fair enough. I'll take that answer." 

Minghao couldn't resist chiming in, sneering, "Hey, noona! Is cooking the only basis now? You know you love my lamb skewers!"  

"Yes, I do, but you're not making them now, are you?" Sana pointed out. 

"It's too early to start grilling. But if I make some for you later tonight, will you like me more?" Minghao proposed. Sana burst into laughter, finding their playful banter amusing. "Of course! Grill some tonight, okay?" she agreed in a playful tone. 

Joshua turned his head to glance at the two briefly before refocusing on the pan. As he continued cooking, he asked, "By the way... you two... I heard you went out by yourselves. Where did you go?"  

Sana was about to answer when Minghao interjected, "Why should you know where?" 

"I'm curious! Why are you getting defensive? Didn't you do your morning meditation?"  

His younger brother couldn't help but laugh, realizing his point. "You're right. I skipped meditating this morning." 

"So, where did you go?"  

Sana answered, "We just went out to get some tea. There was this new place Minghao wanted to try."  

"Just the two of you?"  

The girl hesitated for a moment, unable to answer. Minghao was ready to step in and cover for her, but she quickly regained composure, "No, there was someone else. A friend." 

"Which friend?"  

"The one you met."  

Joshua simply said, "Ahh," as he eyed Minghao and smiled slightly, silently conveying something with his eyes. 

Jeonghan entered the kitchen, humming to himself, "I want coffee, I want coffee." He glanced at Sana and asked, "Sana-yah, do you want some?"  

"Wow, you're unbelievable. Minghao and I are also here. Why would you only ask her?" Joshua interjected. 

The only girl laughed and replied, "I want coffee too, oppa."  

Jeonghan made a mockingly innocent face towards Joshua, completely disregarding his question. He turned to Sana and said, "Okay, I'll make you one too." 

Just then, Dokyeom burst into the kitchen with his usual high energy, exclaiming, "Me too! Make me some too!"  

"Shut up and make your own. What are those muscular arms for? Use them!" 

Meanwhile, Seungkwan and Dino found themselves in the private gym, sitting on a bench together. Seungkwan began, "Joshua-hyung talked to us once..."  

"What did he say?" 

"He was asking how we would feel if Sana-noona became interested in someone."  

Woozi, in the middle of his routine, stopped and turned his attention to his brothers. "Is she interested in someone? Who?" he asked. 

Hoshi and Mingyu also paused their exercises, intrigued by the conversation. Before Seungkwan could respond, Dino interjected, "Is he handsome?" 

Mingyu shook his head, suggesting, "Maybe not."  

Hoshi furrowed his brows and asked, "How do you know? Have you met him?"  

"No, I mean we just don't know if she likes a guy." 

"But girls can be handsome too, right?"  

"Yeah." 

Seungkwan interrupted, expressing his viewpoint. "I don't think it matters who she likes. What matters is how each of us will react to it."  

Dino chimed in, adding, "I think it's okay if she develops a crush on someone."  

Woozi nodded in agreement
