Kiho ran his fingers through his hair and sighed, throwing another pair of sweats into his suitcase. He tiredly walked around the room and hummed to himself, throwing items back and forth. It had been only a month or so that he and HERO were practicing together, and it had been....an interesting experience to say the least. 

In that single month, there had been many arguments and misunderstandings; it made him question how they'd funtion when actually promoting. He continued to pack nonetheless, watching as his dorm room became more and more empty. 

He was leaving YG's dorms and heading to one closer to JYP and SM, where all the members of HERO could stay and see each other 24/7. How fun.

*I wonder how dorm arrangements are going to work...*

He was lost in his own thoughts before a knock rattled on his door. He turned just in time to see a familiar smirk.

"I see you're excited to see me."

Kiho rolled his eyes and ignored the boy, throwing another pair of training clothes into his bag. He wasn't in the mood to argue. The mysterious figure groaned and plopped down on Kiho's bed, staring at the male.

"Now is that a way to treat your best friend?"

Kiho raised his brow, "I wasn't aware we were still friends Sungkwon."

Sungkwon shrugged and brought his hands over his head, lazily looking at Kiho. "Whatever. I heard you were leaving."

Kiho remained silent.

Sungkwon eyed him curiously. "So it is true."

Kiho pursed his lips and grabbed the remainder of his things, ready to walk out. Sungkwon sat up on the bed, his hair flinging across his face. He smiled innocently. "Don't let your guard down."

Kiho grimaced; he had had enough with Sungkwon. He turned back around, furious. It was one thing to sabotage him, but to sabotage his groupmates was going too far. He spoke calmly.  "Sungkwon. I've delt with a lot of your the past year or so. I haven't said anything until now because you were my best friend. But no more."

He paused for a moment, regaining his composure.

"Try anything funny and I won't hesitate to kick your ."

He grabbed his keys and walked out of his dorm room, slamming the door behind him and leaving the threat in the air.

Sungkwon blinked.

He then let out a cold laugh, smiling widely.

"Let the games begin Kiho. Let the games begin."

Kiho was fuming by the time he reached the new dorm. He had been so mad at Sungkwon that he hadn't grabbed the rest of his things. He sighed and opened the door, resigned.

*I'll just have to go back later. Besides, I heard he got switched companies anyway. Whatever.*

He adjusted the bag over his shoulder and began walking up the steps, trying to remember Sooyeon's exact directions. If he recalled correctly it would be the first door on the second floor. As Kiho walked up the stairs, a crashing noise rang through the entire building. He widened his eyes, bewildered. The next thing he knew, a body was being flung at him from outside was his new dorm room.

He stumbled back in surprise and the body yelled at someone.

"JINHAK DON'T PUSH ME. GET BACK HERE!"

Miyoung ran back inside the dorm, intent on murdering her fellow groupmate. Kiho nervously crept into the room.

*What the hell is going on here?*

He instantly regretted walking in.

"Jinhak!" Miyoung was running after a hysteric Jinhak with Asami right behind, yelling, "Come on guys! Just quit it!"

Sooyeon stood at the kitchen doorway, shaking her head at the scene unfolding in front of her with Kangdae a few feet behind, his head in his hands.

"I'm going crazy Soo." 

Chanlim sat on the sofa in a little ball, into a cute little 'o'. Haesok sat besides her, a small smile playing on his lips. 

Iman had the TV remote in her hand and sat on the floor near the TV, laughing at Jinhak. "I told you not to do it! AHAHAHAHA!" 

Jiho was nowhere to be seen; Kiho assumed he knew what a disaster this would be from the start so he had left immediately.

When Kiho finally came to his senses, he yelled out, "HEY YOU GUYS!"

Everyone immediately stopped in their tracks. Miyoung froze and turned to look at him, surprised. Jinhak continued to grin, chuckling under his breath, glad he could elicit such a response from her. Kiho dropped his bags on the ground and gave everyone a long questioning look. He didn't have to even ask before Miyoung pointed at Jinhak.

"He hid all my things somewhere in the dorm!" she blurted out.

Jinhak laughed and plopped down on the chair besides him, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Kiho rolled his eyes and looked at Sooyeon, "Where's my room?"

Sooyeon calmly folded her arms across her chest and walked to the front of the living room with Kangdae close behind. Kangdae gestured for everyone to sit down, "We were just waiting for you and Jiho but I guess he's not coming back." He shrugged as Kiho sat on the floor with Miyoung following suit.

"Okay," Kangdae clapped his hands together. "Rollcall."

He pointed at Jinhak first, who rolled his eyes before lazily responding, "1."

Miyoung chirped, "2!" Iman held a "3," Chanlim answered a "4," Haesok a simple "5," Sooyeon a calm "6," Asami yelling out "7!" and Kiho confusedly responding, "8?"

Kangdae nodded and finished off with a "9."

"Alright now that we're all here. Let's go over dorm assignments."

Kangdae let out a bright smile, a little too bright for Kiho's comfort. Something was up. Kangdae held his hands out in a sweeping motion.

"So this is our dorm. SM wanted us to be closer so he moved us to the SM idol dorms. It's pretty roomy, but with 10 of us it might be a little cramped for space."

Sooyeon finally spoke, the same cool look on her face. "There's 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom, a living room, and 4 bedrooms. The kitchen can fit all of us, so no eating in the living room. We don't want to make a mess. Only one bathroom has a shower, so we've designed a shower system. There will be 2 people per room, boy boy and girl girl only. No funny business guys."

The rest were silent as she went over each rule with precision. Kiho couldn't help but be a bit surprised at Sooyeon; in all the time he knew her, he had never seen her this serious. She was completely serious this time; she wouldn't be tolerating anything. It wasn't until Kangdae and Sooyeon got to the actual dorm arrangements that protests began to make there way through the group.

Kangdae pointed to Miyoung and Iman, "Maknae and Iman, last door on the left, all the way down."

Miyoung cheered and hugged Iman, who hugged back happily.

"Jinhak, you'll be with Jiho. It's the second to last door on the left."

Jinhak groaned, "Ughhhh why do I have to be roomed with him!" He sighed, "On the brightside, at least I get to be right next to you, right Yangpa?"

He grinned evily as Miyoung rolled her eyes, ready to counter. 

"No funny business," Sooyeon interjected promptly. 

Miyoung pressed shut and faced forward once more, no point in arguing with Umma. Kangdae continued, "There's another thing. Since we can't really trust you or Jiho to be on your best behavior...Sooyeon will room with you."

Jinhak's jaw dropped. "W-What??" He spluttered, "I thought you said no boy girl!"

He looked back and forth between Kangdae and Sooyeon, unhappy.

Kangdae shrugged, "But Sooyeon is responsible and she's a leader. No exceptions! Moving on..."

Jinhak was speechless.

"Chanlim and Asami, you're together, which leaves Kiho, Haesok and I to the last room on the right." 

Sooyeon began to speak without waiting for a response. "As for showering, we only have a limited amount of hot water, so Kangdae and I agreed on a 5 minute shower cap. Kangdae and I will go first, and based on behavior, the order will change." She pointed to the hallway where the bathroom was, "The shower order is posted there."

Everyone's jaw dropped. Was she serious?

Jinhak threw his hands up in the air, "This is worse than prison. Nope, I'm going to JYP, I'm out. Maybe he'll put me in 2PM-" Mid-sentence he got up to leave only to be pulled back by Kangdae's grasp.

"Sit down Jinhak," Kangdae rolled his eyes.

Miyoung whined on the floor, "Oppa 5 minutes is way too short! Umma whhyyyy?"

"We need to save water so we don't all shower in the cold," Sooyeon gently reminded her. Miyoung sank deeper on the floor, muttering, "that ..."

Iman groaned and held her head in her hands, "How am I going to look fabulous with such short amount of time to shower?" 

Chanlim bit her lip, speaking up on behalf of the leaders. "I know it's kind of hard to take 5 minute showers but I'm sure we can right? We should do fine!"

Asami gave a sigh and shrugged, "Yeah I guess so." 

Kiho watched wordlessly as everyone panicked or complained about the showering situation. He sighed and got up off the sofa, heading down the hallway to check the shower schedule and put his things down. 

As he walked through the dorm, he couldn't help but notice how nice it was, regardless of the crazy drama taking place inside. The inside was newly refurbished, and though it would hold all of them, it was roomy enough. At the very least, he assumed they wouldn't clash too much (hopefully). There were a few pictures of random scenery on the walls and an odd surplus of clocks on the walls - too not be late he assumed. The kitchen was nice and though there was only one bathroom, it was surprisingly large.

Kiho finally made his way to the bathroom, and read the shower schedule on the door.

Shower Schedule

1. Kangdae

2. Sooyeon

3. Asami

4. Chanlim

5. Miyoung

6. Iman

7. Haesok

9. Jinhak 

10. Jiho

He sighed and rubbed his eyes, muttering quietly to himself. *Well at least I'm not last.* He turned back around and turned left, walking into his room - or their room - looking around.

The room was a dull blue and was pretty empty, minus the few personal belongings belonging to the other guys. One bunk bed, and a single. He shuffled his way across the room and to his bed on the top bunk, above what he assumed was Kangdae's things. He climbed the ladder and hopped on, staring at the ceiling. He began to think of Sungkwon, and felt even more stressed than before. 

Sungkwon, although his friend at first, would stop at nothing to make his life miserable. They used to be good friends, but jealousy had gotten the best of him. He cringed.

*Ugh. I'll just nap a little while. While I have the chance.*

He closed his eyes and began to drift off into sleep, when another loud crash (like the one before) rang through the dorm.

He snapped his eyes open.

"KANGDAE!" he heard Miyoung yell. "TELL JINHAK TO STOP."

Kiho turned and groaned into his pillow; this was not going to be easy.
