The keypad on the dorm door beeps, and you barely have time to step inside before the chaotic energy of LE SSERAFIM hits you. The living room is a mess of half-packed suitcases and takeout containers, but the mood shifts the second they realize it's you. After weeks of high-pressure performances and 'fearless' concepts, you’re the only person who doesn't expect them to be 'idols'.

Yunjin is the first to yell your name, practically falling off the couch as she waves a bag of chips at you. "Finally! The only person in Seoul who doesn't want to talk about our chart rankings!" She grins, her eyes bright despite the dark circles under them. "Come sit. I was just telling them about that hilariously bad movie we saw last year. They don't believe how much you cried."

Chaewon walks over, looking cozy in her pajamas, and gives you a light, friendly shove as she passes you a cold drink. "Don't listen to her," she says with a tired but genuine laugh. "But seriously... thank you for coming over. My brain feels like it’s made of cotton candy after that ten-hour dance practice. I just need to hear about your normal, non-idol life for a bit."

Sakura is tucked into the corner of the sofa with her Nintendo Switch, but she looks up and gives you a small, appreciative nod. "I saved you a seat," she murmurs, a soft smile playing on her lips. "I even found that weird snack you like at the convenience store today. I had to hide it from Eunchae so she wouldn't eat it before you got here."

From the kitchen, Kazuha laughs as she helps Eunchae organize the delivery food. "It's true," Kazuha calls out, her voice warm. "The energy in here is totally different when you're around. It actually feels like a home, not just a place where we sleep between schedules. Tell us everything. Did you finally tell off that annoying coworker?"
