Kim Soo Jin

Today we are standing in front of a dorm again, I ring the bell, and soon after someone answers the intercom:

" Yoboseyo?"

" Hello, I'm Kim Soojin from Purpule Rose. And she is my assistant, Park Yejin" we both look at the camera. " We agreed on a date for data reconciliation today. "

" Come in!" and we can already hear the characteristic buzzing sound of the gate, indicating that we can enter.

This dorm is different from yesterday. It looks more like a large warehouse from the outside, the windows are just above, in a circle under the roof line. There is a garage door in front, and next to it is an iron front door, which opens at this very moment, and a handsome tall guy with brown hair steps out.

" We've been waiting for you. " he says with a smile in a slight Australian accent. " come in. "

After that, we enter the building, which inside is the complete opposite of its exterior. A spacious living room opens in front of us in the middle of the building, behind it is a modern kitchen-dining area raised with a two-step difference in level, and the guys' rooms and bathrooms open on both sides.

" Welcome to the Stray Kids dorm! " says the former guy. " I'm Bang Chan, the leader. "

Behind him, the other 7 members lined up and introduced themselves one by one:

" I'm Lee Minho, my stage name is Lee Know." begins the young man at the front of the line.

" I'm Seo Changbin " - he's the shortest, almost the same height as me.

" I'm Hwang Hyunjin " the tall boy with long blond hair next in line bows.

" I'm Han Jisung " he's not much taller than me, his brown hair hangs in his eyes, but his cheerful look is still clearly visible, which is accompanied by his wide smile.

" I'm Lee Yongbuk, but call me Felix" his voice is tingly deep, and I look at him in amazement, because I can't match him with the tall, freckled, blond guy. You can also hear a slight Australian accent in his pronunciation. He accepts my shocked expression with a wide smile.

" I'm Kim Seungmin" the next member breaks my surprise. The tall guy looks at us from behind his brown hair hanging in his eyes, with a slight blush on his face.

" I'm Yang Jeongin, I.N. is my stage name." he finishes the line with a cheerful smile " I am the maknae of the band. "

" Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Kim Soojin, the director of Purple Rose, and she's my assistant, Park Yejin. Thank you for letting us come to you. " then I note with my head slightly bowed:

" However, there is one more thing, literally " and I show them the baby sleeping in the scarf, " This is Yong Soo, sorry, but I couldn't solve it any other way, but we will try to finish quickly so as not to disturb you. "

" No problem" says the leader " several of us have younger siblings, her won't bother us.

" Thank you for your understanding. Can we get started then? "

" Of course, let's sit down in the living room, you can put the little one on the soft carpet, she won't get hurt there."

Thus, while Yong Soo is sleeping peacefully on the carpet wrapped in a scarf, we thoroughly discuss the plans, everyone adds what they will need, what they need in the accommodation.

We all write these down, Yejin diligently take notes. We talk about everything in about an hour and a half.

" Wow, that's right " I look at my watch " you guys are great, we finished in record time. Thank you for helping my work. "

" We thank you for your work! Would you like to look around with us? Afterwards, we'd love to see you for lunch." Chan asks us.

" Well... "- I look at my sleeping daughter.

" Don't worry, one of us is looking after her. So at least she can still sleep here peacefully. " He continues.

" Then Jeongin, Binnie and I will stay here " Felix sits down next to the little one on the carpet, and the other two join him.

" I like the kids anyway, if I wasn't an idol I'd definitely be working with children " adds the maknae.

" Then thank you, we are happy to let us look around. "

" Come, I'll show you around, while Lino and Seungmin cook the lunch." Chan stands up.

Returning from the thorough tour, I am surprised to notice that Soo is no longer asleep, but awake, holding Jeongin, while Felix amuses her with his rumbling voice, while Changbin laugh on the clowning blonde.

Yong Soo also apparently likes the situation, because after waking up, she always shouts loudly to indicate that she has indeed woken up, but now she is watching the boys' fooling around with wide-open eyes and a slightly open mouth.

" I think I have found who I will call when I need a babysitter" I note with a laugh. " This is the first time that she woke up without crying. "

" If we get to it, we will gladly help" I.N. pounces on the opportunity with sparkling eyes. "very cute little girl. "

" Oh, I didn't mean it seriously, it was just a joke. "

" We are happy to help, take it for granted that now she has 8 oppas who are waiting for her every wish" Felix adds completely seriously.

I laugh at this, which they look at in amazement, so I tell them that the other team said the same thing yesterday. I'll show them the pictures too. To this, Binnie declares that they are indeed asking for pictures.

We take a few pictures together, but it doesn't last long because the little princess is getting hungry, so she shows that she has a voice too.

" Can I have some boiled water, please?" I ask Lee Know, who nods and helps prepare Soo-ya's milk in the kitchen.

" Can I feed her?" Jeongin asked, looking with puppy eyes.

" You are really love in the little ones" I give him the bottle laughing, and he takes it and devotes his full attention to the enthusiastically sucking baby.

" Well, the maknae is on the top now " remarks Jisung. The others laugh and nod.

" When you're done, we can eat," says Minho, " lunch is ready. Fried chicken with rice, grilled vegetables and kimchi. "

" Wow, did you all do this?" I look at the two kitchen fairies " it looks very good. "

" We hope you will like it. "

" Where should we put the little girl until then?" Innie looks at us.

" Maybe we could eat here in the living room around the small table, while the baby sleeps next to us on the carpet, right? " throw in the solution Chan.

" That's why you're the leader " Hyunjin gently pats his hyung on the back." then let's bring in the food. "

Everyone takes their seats, Jeongin and Felix lay Soo-ya on the carpet between them, and they eat while watching the little one with one eye. They are so cute that I quietly ask Chan if I can take a picture of them. And he nods.

So, until they notice, I take a few pictures with my mobile phone.

" I'll send them over" I say to the guy sitting next to me.

" Send them instantly," then he takes out his mobile phone, " give me your name, I'll accept you. "

" I'm up under the name 'purplerosejinnie'. "

Half a minute later, my phone beeps:

chrisbang97 started following me.

And I'll follow back quickly. I will send the pictures in a message.

" Can I get the group photos from you? "

" Sure, we'll send it over tonight. "

" Thank you very much. We had a great time here at your place. However, we are slowly saying goodbye. "

" There's really nothing, and we'd love to see you another time. "

When I signal to the others that we must go now, Jeongin hugs the little one:

" Can she stay with us? " he looks at me with pleading eyes.

" I have to take her home now, because her father would miss her at the evening, but we will come later again." I wink at the boy.

We say goodbye to each other and head home. I drop Yejin off at the office and we go home.

In the evening, I manage to wait for Jong Suk, we have dinner together, while I tell him how our day was today. And about Soo-a's new conquests.

" I think she is a lucky little girl" he says " although she started life with a little 'bump', she found loving parents and now she has more than a dozen "oppas".

" I hope she continue to be this lucky. I really like her." I look at the sleeping beauty.

" Me too. And you too. You have become my treasures. I try to take good care of you. "

Unfortunately, we didn't know then that fate had something else planned for us for the weekend.
