"Hyung we saw Lisa today!" Jaehyun exclaims after all the "Congratulations! You guys did well I'm so proud!!" died down.

Ten raises his eyebrows and replies, "Well I saw her on TV too while I was watching you guys so obviously I knew you all saw her. What are you trying to get at?"

The '97 liner shakes his head but grins. "Nothing, I was just saying."

"K."

A few steps away from them is a still crying Taeyong accompanied by another crying Taeil. Winwin is standing by the window, his phone pressed tightly against his ear as he cries while talking to his parents back in China. Yuta is doing the same with his parents back in Japan. Standing side by side, it's like having two TVs tuning in to a Chinese channel and a Japanese channel at the same time. It's pretty amusing really.

Mark and Haechan had returned to the dorm earlier because they are still minors and hence have a 10PM curfew. The two were excitedly sharing everything the moment they got back and got even more pumped when the other NCT 127 members returned hours later. They had spent the few hours when the NCT 127 hyungs were still away by washing up, talking, eating, talking again, playing games, more talking... Oh wait, it's almost 1AM now? All the other NCT members were up and are still up, watching the award ceremony on TV and being entertained by NCT 127 maknaes. Sleep? What's that?

"Lisa?" A confused Jisung asks Ten. He looks at the younger and says, "She's from BLACKPINK. The new girl group from YG. Heard of them?"

Jisung thinks for a moment and nods. The scary-looking noonas from YG...

"You know her?" Jisung asks innocently, after slightly shuddering at the thought of the 4 girls.

Ten shrugs in reply. "Yeah. We have like this social group kind of thing for the Thai K-Pop idols. So like I'm friends with BamBam from GOT7... Sorn from CLC... Then there's Lisa too. Sometimes we meet up... We have a group chat too, but Nickhun sunbaenim from 2PM isn't included, because it'd get a bit strange I guess."

"Ohh wow I didn't know... So she's from Thailand..."

"Yeah."

"That's so cool. Is she nice?"

"Yeah."

The young tall blonde boy smiles, satisfied by Ten's answer, walking over to find Jaemin who's somewhere in the dorm playing games with Jeno on their phones. Ten glances at Yuta and Winwin. They are still on the phone. Johnny and Mark are now talking in English. Johnny says something, probably something really dumb, and Mark laughs hysterically. It's like some international show in their dorm. There's intense Korean going on mostly everywhere here... emotional Japanese and Chinese by the window... wild English by the kitchen... and if Ten dives into some Thai right now...

He feels his phone vibrate in his pocket and he takes it out.

The K-Pop Thai squad group chat is alive. Now let's get the Thai thing going on.
