"Okay, now that everyone's here let's get down to business!" Jennie said, clapping her hands together.
Jennie and the rest of the members of BTC were in the living room with all of the members sitting in a semi-circle around Jennie.
"What's up, Jennie-unnie? Didn't you find you sweater? What's wrong?" Jungah asked, confused
"Well you see, since everyone apparently loves blaming things on others, let's play a game!"
"Now I know she's gone nuts." Yeon muttered, though the girl quickly apologized when she saw the look on Jennie's face
"Everyone needs to bring something they care about and use often here. It can be a book, electronic, etc., it just can't be something perishable." Jennie explained
"Aw... I wanted to bring-"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence, Taehee-ah." Jennie warned, "Now go!"
.
No more than five minutes later there was a small pile of items on the living room table. "What's next?" Minnie asked
"Everyone is going to switch items with someone else and have that item for a whole week. Once that week is up, you are free to go ask around and find your item. However, during that week anyone can steal anyone else's item, even your original one." Jennie said
"Wait, couldn't I just find who has my Switch and get it back on the first day?" Jungah asked
"Sure, but someone could steal it during the week." Jennie shrugged
"Then what's the point?!" Yeon spluttered
"Bragging rights! And isn't it fun, blaming someone else when you're the one who's behind it? Also whoever gets the most items at the end of the week gets to do whatever they want in front of the camera next interview." Jennie said
"Wait, what?!" Namjoo shrieked
"Yes!" Taehee cheered
"Who's going to divvy up the stuff? One of us can't do it." Hyoseon frowned
"Don't worry, I'll get one of the staff to do it. I'm sure they won't mind. In the mean time, wait in one of the rooms upstairs. Once the staff-oppa give you your item wait five minutes before going into the living room. When everyone is gathered, we just go about our business. Okay?" Jennie said
"Okay!"
.
There were seven items (duh). Jennie's blue bow, Hyoseon's black beanie, Jungah's Nintendo Switch, one of Yeon's cameras, Minnie's over-sized pale baby blue sweater, Taehee's sketchpad, and one of Namjoo's journals.
"I guess this is Minnie-unnie's sweater." Jungah said to herself, turning the baby blue sweater over. With a sigh, the maknae got off of her bed and stuffed the sweater under all of her other clothes in one of the dresser draws. 'Well, my five minutes are up.' she thought, opening the door to her room and trotting down the stairs.
Apparently Jungah was the last one selected as all of the other girls were waiting in the living room. Hyoseon was sitting on the couch, playing Jungah's Switch. "Obvious, much?" Jungah scowled, already planning on how to get her favorite toy back
"Oh, this wasn't mine." Hyoseon said, looking up. The brunette got up and stretched before padding past Jungah. "I'm gonna put this back in your room!" she called, though it clearly wasn't directed towards Jungah.
Suddenly all of the remaining members looked at each other suspiciously, wondering who gave Hyoseon the Switch and who was faking them out.
"Wait, is that my bow?!" Jennie squeaked, suddenly realizing what Yeon was wearing
"It goes nicely with my hair." Yeon said with a small smile, fluffing up her beautiful white hair
Jennie growled at Yeon and stormed off, probably to plan. "Well I'm going to raid everyone's rooms." Taehee said, trotting off towards the stairs.
Jungah blinked before turning to Namjoo, Yeon, and Minnie. "S-Should someone stop her?" Minnie asked, slightly worried
"Let her," Namjoo scoffed, "she isn't going to find anything."
"Well I'm going to stop her!" Yeon snapped, dashing off
"M-Me too!" Minnie squeaked, following after her unnie
Namjoo and Jungah watched the orange haired girl chase after her white haired unnie. "That girl is so whipped." Namjoo sighed, shaking her head before going into the kitchen
Jungah hummed in agreement before plopping on the couch.
"Hungry?" Namjoo asked, opening cabinets
Jungah opened her mouth to say yes, but realized this was Namjoo. As smart as her unnie was, she had a 50/50 chance of burning everything she cooked.
"Relax. I know how to cook ramyeon." Namjoo grumbled
The connected rooms descended into silence other than the sounds of pots clanking together, and even then after a while those sounds disappeared into the soft hum of the stove burner.
"So unnie..." Jungah started, "Who's room do you think Hyoseon's gonna put the Switch in?"
Namjoo looked up from her phone in surprise. "You mean you don't know?" the blonde snickered
"Know what?" Jungah asked, immediately sitting up
"Now why should I tell you?" Namjoo scoffed, turning her attention back to her phone
Jungah pouted and slouched against the couch again. "I bet it's yours..." the girl muttered
Namjoo let out a small laugh, shaking her head before going over to the pot of ramyeon.

Wednesday, Day 1
Minnie yawned before rolling out of bed. It was very early in the morning, perfect for figuring out who had what item. 'Let me check Yeon-unnie's room first,' Minnie thought, 'just because.'
The small girl quietly opened her bedroom door, giving Hyoseon a quick glance to make sure the elder was sleeping before slipping into the hallway. Minnie slowly closed the door and turned around to see Jungah standing directly behind her.
Minnie would've screamed had Jungah not placed her hand over the elder's mouth. "Shh!" Jungah hissed
"W-What are you doing up so early?" Minnie whispered, yanking Jungah's hand off her mouth
"I could ask you the same! But we both know why we're up." Jungah said
"To use the bathroom." Minnie lied
"There's a bathroom inside your room, Minnie-unnie. Don't lie." Jungah frowned
The elder girl pouted and tossed her head to the side. "Anyway who's room were you going to search? I was coming for yours but you probably wouldn't let me inside." Jungah admitted
Minnie opened her mouth to criticize the younger but just closed her mouth. "Let's go to Jennie-unnie's room." Minnie said
Jungah gave a determined nod before quietly following the elder down the hall. The orange haired girl slowly opened up the door to the eldest BTC members' room.
"You check Jennie-unnie's side. I'll get Yeon-unnie." Minnie whispered
Jungah nodded, trying hard not to roll her eyes. The maknae tiptoed over to Jennie's bedside draw and slowly opened the bottom draw. Inside was a bunch of books. Jungah pulled out the top one and stared at it. It was had a plain, brown leather cover with the name Kim Namjoo on the cover.
'W-What is this?' Jungah thought, opening it
"Hey!"
Suddenly the book was snatched from Jungah's hands. "T-That's mine!"
Jungah turned her head to her left to see Jennie glaring at her with a bright blush on her cheeks.
"S-Sorry. I assumed it was Namjoo-unnie's..." Jungah stuttered
"Well it isn't! It's mine." Jennie huffed, holding the book protectively to her chest
"Why does it have her name on it, then?" Jungah asked
"It's a book full of pictures of me and Joonie-ah. I have one for everyone." Jennie explained
Jungah took out the next book. It looked the same as the previous one except the words were Min Yeon instead. "Huh. You know, I never realized this but Suga-unnie's name can be put on the side of a boat." Jungah said
"Yeah, yeah. What're you doing sneaking around in my room anyway?" Jennie asked, taking the book from Jungah and putting it back in her draw
"Um... nothing. Just thought I lost something." Jungah said, cringing at her bad lie
"Uh-huh. Well you aren't going to 'find' your Switch in here." Jennie huffed, "Now shoo before you wake Rammi-ah."
"Too late."
Jennie and Jungah turned to the other side of the room to see Yeon holding Minnie by her collar.
"Found her looking around in my stuff." Yeon huffed
"I was just looking for my sweater..." Minnie pouted
"I don't have it." Yeon said with an eye roll, "I have Jennie-unnie's bow."
"B-But the sweater goes so nicely with the bow so I thought you had it!" Minnie exclaimed
Yeon shook her head. "Now get your a-" Yeon broke off into a cough, glancing at Jennie. "Excuse me, butts, out of here before I need to do something drastic."
"Right, right. Sorry!" Minnie apologized, quickly running out leaving Jungah to fend for herself
"U-Um... bye!" Jungah squeaked, dashing out of the room
.
Jennie sighed as she settled onto the roof with satisfaction. After making sure no one was around, the green haired girl took out a book. It was a small black book, with pretty silver handwriting on it that said, 'Ideas'
The girl curled up into the roof and opened it.
1.13
K loves playing in the snow. It's so adorable. Maybe I should make a song about the snow... 'Forever Snow'?
Jennie blinked. Namjoo did in fact release a song similar to that, however it was released in October, much later than when this is written. 'Then who is K?' Jennie pondered. Shaking her head, she went to turn the page when her phone buzzed. "Hello?" the girl said, picking up her phone
"Hey unnie! Can you come into the kitchen real quick? Namjoo-ah tried to reheat a pizza for us but she burned it. Can you come and make us something?"
Jennie rolled her eyes. "Sure, Hobi-ah. I'll be there in a bit." Jennie sighed
"Kay! Thanks unnie! You're a lifesaver!"
Jennie giggled at her dongsaeng's enthusiasm before hanging up. Stuffing Namjoo's book into her romper (don't ask where) Jennie opened the trap door in the roof to get back into the house, which was a good thing because she was starting to feel the cold through the blanket she brought with her.
As the eldest turned around a corner to go to the stairs, she was tackled to the ground by Taehee. "Tae-"
Jennie was cut off by the younger slapping her hand over Jennie's mouth. "Shh!" Taehee hissed, before dragging Jennie into the nearest room.
No more than two heartbeats later Yeon ran down the hall. "TAEHEE! GIVE ME BACK MY CAMERA!" the angry Min shouted
"You have her camera?" Jennie hissed
"Y-Yes! W-Well, no. I f-found it in a r-room and locked it in there and I have the k-key." Taehee said, her hand wandering to one of her jacket pockets
"Oh really..." Jennie said, eyeing the pocket where Taehee's hand went
Suddenly the elder snatched the key from Taehee and shoved the redhead into the hallway. Yeon whipped her head around and the way her eyes glowed the devil would've turned tail and run. "R-Rammi-unnie..." Taehee said, backing away
"Taehee-" Yeon growled, before jumping at the girl.
Taehee let out a scream before running for her life. After making sure the way was clear, Jennie went into the hallway. "I wonder which room this opens into..." Jennie pondered, holding up a small, plain golden key
"Jennie-unnie! I'm hungry!" came a desperate whine that belonged to Jungah
The eldest sighed before pocketing the key somewhere in her baby blue romper. "Coming~"
• •
Thursday, Day 2
Jennie woke up bright and early, ready to go search for the locked room before her day began. She quietly closed the door to her room before walking down the hall, trying each door. Unfortunately, she was only half way done on the second floor (as she checked even the closets in the rooms) when everyone else started waking up. "Drats." Jennie grumbled, "Guess I'll just have to ask Namjoo-ah if she knows which key this is."
.
After breakfast BTC had a slim opening of about thirty minutes to do as they pleased before they had to go to practice.
'Now where is Yeon-unnie.' Jungah thought, quickly exiting the kitchen after checking there
"Yah, Taehee-ah have you seen Rammi-unnie?" Jungah said to the redhead
"Last time I saw her she was heading towards her studio." Taehee said
"Thanks!" Jungah said, already heading down there
.
"Rammi-unnie, are you in here?" Jungah asked, rapping on the studio door thrice
"Come in, Jung-Jung-ah."
Jungah opened the door and saw Yeon sitting at her desk, the light on at her computer. "Still have it dark in here as ever." Jungah commented
Yeon sighed. "What do you want, Jung-ah?" she asked, turning to the maknae
"W-Well... it's not what I want so as much as what Minnie-unnie wants." Jungah said
"Min-Min-ah?" Yeon asked
"S-She was t-talking to m-me about i-it and I told her to tell you b-but you k-know how Minnie-unnie is already. So sweet and selfless." Jungah rambled
"Get to the point." Yeon frowned
"E-Everyone knows you have Jennie-unnie's blue bow a-and Minnie-unnie found her sweater again s-so she wanted to wear it a-and Jennie-unnie's bow..." Jungah blurted
Yeon blinked, her face unreadable. "O-Of course I understand h-how ridiculous that is. F-Forget I told you, u-unnie. M-Minnie-unnie would be so mad." Jungah rushed, bowing quickly before hightailing out of there
.
"Minnie-ah?"
A knock on the door.
"Min-Min-ah?"
Two knocks on the door.
"Minnie-ah are you there? Hobi-ah?"
Three knocks.
Satisfied, Yeon glanced around the deserted hallway and slipped inside the empty, dark room.
The girl slowly tiptoed to Minnie's dresser and opened the draw full of her sweaters. "Would it be to out in the open if I just placed it on the top?" Yeon said to herself.
Finding that it probably would be, she pulled up a few of the folded clothes and gently placed the bow under them. 'I'll tell her about it tomorrow if she doesn't find it.' Yeon thought, silently leaving the room.
If anyone had still been present in the room, they would've seen a pair of eyes appear from under Minnie's bed. The mysterious intruder quickly wriggled out from underneath the bed and yanked open the Park girl's dresser draw.
After some savage searching, the shadowy figure pulled out a certain blue ribbon. 'Perfect.'
.
"So Joonie-ah, you're looking nice today."
Namjoo looked up from her seat on a kitchen bar stool. "Thanks unnie." Namjoo said, giving Jennie a bright smile as the elder slid into the seat next to her
"By the way, Joonie-ah, do you know which door this key belongs too? I found it on the floor upstairs..." Jennie said, handing Namjoo the golden key
Namjoo hummed, turning the key over before handing it back. "Yep! It unlocks the bathroom door in one of the upstairs bathrooms, the guest bedroom five doors down from yours and Yeon-unnie's room." Namjoo said
"Wow Joonie-ah! Your memory is so good!" Jennie squealed, giving Namjoo a tight hug, causing the younger to sport a rosy blush, "Thank you!"
Jennie was off in two seconds eager to get Yeon's camera.
.
'One, two, three, four, five.' Jennie counted, stopping in front of the designated door
"This isn't a guest bedroom..." Jennie frowned. The girl turned to the other side of the hall only to find similar results.
"Yah! It's probably in the other direction." Jennie pouted, quickly running the other way.
After finding the right room, Jennie opened the door and trotted to the bathroom inside. After trying the handle to make sure it was locked, she inserted the key and gave it a twist. Hearing the satisfying click, she pushed down on the handle and opened the door.
Like a godsend, the camera was simply sitting there on the closed toilet lid.
"Yes." Jennie quietly cheered before closing and locking the door once more, "When we get back I'm going to trade it for my bow."
.
"Yeon-ah! Can I talk to you for a moment?" Jennie asked, pulling the bleach haired girl aside
"Sure?" Yeon said, not really having a choice.
As soon as they got back from practice, which was a few minutes past midnight, Jennie immediately sought Yeon out.
"I have something for you~" Jennie said, producing Yeon's camera from her jacket pocket
"My camera!" Yeon exclaimed, reaching her hands out
"Shh!" Jennie hissed, holding the camera away from Yeon's hands, "I'll give it to you, but only if you give me back my bow."
"Oh." Yeon said, her face falling
"What's with that reaction?" Jennie said, frowning
"I may or may not have given it away already." Yeon murmured, already bracing for impact
"To WHOM?!" Jennie snapped, causing Yeon to flinch
"M-Minnie-ah." Yeon whispered
Jennie groaned, tilting her head back. "So fricken dumb." she grumbled, stuffing Yeon's camera back into her jacket.
As Jennie walked away, Yeon sadly watched were her camera walk away from her.
• •
Friday, Day 3
Six out of seven members of BTC stared at the maknae in shock. Jungah was strutting around in her light blue jeans, Minnie's sweater, and her hair tied back by Jennie's bow.
"Hey guys! What's up?" the maknae said, acting completely oblivious to the others' glares
"I thought you said you gave it to Minnie-ah!" Jennie hissed quietly to Yeon
"I did! Or at least..."
The bleach haired girl suddenly face palmed. "Of course." she groaned
Jennie rolled her eyes. "My sweater." Minnie pouted, looking at Jungah with puppy eyes
Since today the weather was terrible, the girls were given the day off for their safety. "I'm going to read in my room." Jennie sighed, already done with ogling at Jungah's brashness.
'So to the best of my knowledge, Rammi-ah and V-ah don't have an item. Jung-Jung-ah and I have two, and Hobi-ah, Min-Min-ah, and Joonie-ah have one item each. Now if my suspicions are right... Hobi-ah should have Jung-Jung-ah's Switch but I don't know what Namjoo-ah and Minnie-ah have...' Jennie pondered
Thinking about these things, she already reached her room. She opened the door and quickly slipped inside. She plopped on her bed and took out a silver key that was on a chain around her neck.
Using the key, she unlocked the top draw of her nightstand.
Her hands ran along the now familiar leather cover and the silver words. "Ideas~" Jennie breathed before opening the book
3.22
It's raining cats and dogs outside. Everyone is dreary, especially after I nearly blew out the electricity. Again. Oh well. I've officially changed the name of the song to 'Forever Rain'
The rain outside is too pretty not too, especially with K dancing in it /
Jennie furiously slammed the book shut. Who was this K and why was Jennie so annoyed by it?
"Whatever, I could care less." Jennie huffed, tossing the book on her bed beside her and turning on her phone.
.
'Man... Taehee's art has gotten better!'
• •
Saturday, Day 4
"NAMJOO GIVE IT BACK!"
"IT'S MINE!"
"NO, IT'S MY BEANIE!"
"UNTIL THIS WEEK IS UP IT'S MINE SO HANDS OFF YOU-"
"NAMJOO! LANGUAGE! There are children in this house." Jennie sniffed, interrupting Namjoo and Hyoseon's argument
"S-Sorry unnie." Namjoo said, hanging her head
In her moment of weakness, Hyoseon snatched the beanie out of Namjoo's hands. "HEY!" Namjoo snapped
"JUNG HYOSEON GIVE THAT BEANIE BACK RIGHT NOW." Jennie shouted, standing up and slamming her hands on the table
Hyoseon timidly handed the beanie to Namjoo, who quickly put the beanie on her head. "Now come and eat like the rest of the civilized people." Jennie said, glowering at the two
Namjoo and Hyoseon nervously trotted over to the table and unfortunately for Namjoo, she sat to Jennie's left.
They ate breakfast in silence, fearing to trigger Jennie's wrath. Suddenly Namjoo's phone rang, breaking the fragile peace. "E-Excuse me." Namjoo said, quickly getting up and answering her phone.
No more than five minutes later the blonde came back. "It was Bang PD-nim." Namjoo explained, standing behind her chair, "Because of the storm last night and we didn't get to practice we're going to have to come in early and work double time."
"Which means?" Jungah trailed
"Which means we need to be ready to leave in five minutes." Namjoo said
"What?! I was planning to raid someone's room before practice!" Taehee shouted, standing up
"Me too~" Jungah whined
"Too bad! Everyone up! Hobi-ah, Joonie-ah, put the food away and clean up the dishes. Rammi-ah make sure Tae-Tae-ah and Min-Min-ah don't leave anything behind. I'll get Hobi-ah and Joonie-ah's stuff and make sure Jung-Jung-ah doesn't do anything stupid." Jennie ordered
"Okay!"
• •
Sunday, Day 5
"Ugh. I didn't get to do anything yesterday." Jennie whined, slapping her forehead with the book in her hands
The girl sighed before opening the book in her hands.
9.12
Today I'm feeling very sad... I wonder why. Today I should be happy! :)
Jennie blinked, her eyes tearing up. Other than those words the page was blank, however there were several tear stains on it. Jennie blinked, rubbing her eyes. 'Yeah... I was a little harsh on Namjoo-ah this year.' Jennie thought
The girl sighed, and to get rid of her guilt she stared at the bottom of the page. Suddenly eraser marks caught her eye. Jennie immediately leaned over and rummaged in her junk draw. Not finding what she was looking for, she hastily stuck a bookmark in the book before stumbling out of her bedroom door like a drunk. Yeon, who was sitting on her bed, blinked in surprise at her elder's exit.
"Joonie-ah! Joonie-ah! Can I borrow you magnifying glass! Joonie-ah! J-oof!"
Jennie had crashed right into Namjoo. The two were in an uncomfortable position with Namjoo on top of the elder. "S-Sorry unnie!" Namjoo squeaked, blushing. The younger immediately scrambled off the elder. "I-I got t-the magnifying glass." Namjoo said, handing the tool over
"T-Thanks." Jennie said, scooting away from the younger
"Wait, is that my book?" Namjoo asked
Jennie hummed. The girl opened to the page in the bookmark. Namjoo tilted her head to the side. "What date is that?" Namjoo asked
"Your birthday." Jennie said nonchalantly
"W-Wait! D-Don't r-read it!" Namjoo said, snatching the book from Jennie
"H-Hey!" Jennie snapped, trying to get the book back
"I don't mind if you read it unnie, just not that part!" Namjoo squeaked
"No!" Jennie shouted, tackling Namjoo
After wrestling for a moment Jennie came out victorious. "Mine!" she cheered, dashing away with the book and the magnifying glass
"Jennie-ah!"
Despite her head start, Namjoo would have no problem catching up with Jennie. The greenette ran around a corner and dashed into the nearest room. Namjoo zipped by a moment later. Jennie immediately got out and was about to turn the corner when she was pinned against the wall by Namjoo. "Nice try, unnie." Namjoo said, "Now hand over that book."
Jennie gulped, a faint blush rising to her cheeks from the close proximity. "I-I let y-you keep H-Hobi-ah's b-beanie." Jennie stuttered
"Don't get me wrong, unnie. I'm perfectly fine with you keeping the book. I just want that page." Namjoo said
"S-Sure." Jennie said, opening the book.
Namjoo hummed in delight and lowered her arms. "PSYCH!"
Jennie ducked away from Namjoo and ran as fast as she could. "JUNG-AH! JUNG-AH! HELP ME AND I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE CHOCOLATE YOU WANT!" Jennie screamed at the top of her lungs
All of sudden a black blur crashed into Namjoo, making the blonde crash into the wall with a thud.
"Chocolate?" Jungah asked, her eyes wide
"YES! JUST STOP JOONIE-AH FOR ME!" Jennie shouted, already nearing the end of that hall as she had never stopped running
"Aye aye!" Jungah said, saluting from on top of her leader
"I don't even think I can get up." Namjoo groaned
.
Safely back in her room (with Yeon still looking at her strangely), Jennie curled up into her pillows and opened the book.
Taking the magnifying glass, she read over everything once more.
9.12
Today I'm feeling very sad... I wonder why. Today I should be happy! :)
"Is that Namjoo-ah's book?"
Jennie slammed the book closed with a light blush. "So what if it is?"
"Nothing," Yeon said from her side of the room, "I won't try to take it if that's what you're wondering. I don't really care about this 'game' like everyone else."
Jennie hummed, before opening the book again. She went down to the bottom of the page and squinted hard.
K is so mean. She makes me cry. :(
is that why they say l҉0҉\҉/҉3҉ ҉|҉-҉|҉u҉R҉t҉$҉
Jennie blinked. That last part was really erased. 'However... if my suspicion is right...' Jennie thought with a pout.
Suddenly the girl chucked the book across the room. Yeon looked up. "Hey, be careful with that. That's not your book." Yeon said before turning back to whatever she was doing on her phone
Jennie huffed and stomped over to the book. She marched back to her bedside table and shoved the book in one of her draws and locked it. "I'm gonna give Joonie-ah back her magnifying glass." Jennie said, exiting the room
"'Kay."
.
"Hey Hobi-unnie, who's job is it to get the laundry done today?"
Hobi jolted her head up and stuffed a certain Nintendo Switch in a pile of laundry that was sitting next to her on her bed.
"U-Um, I don't know Taehee-ah... let's go check before we gotta go to practice." Hobi said, jumping off of her bed.
"Kay." Taehee said. As she was already outside their shared room, she merely leaned against the door frame and waited for Hyoseon.
• •
Monday, Day 6 (Christmas Eve)
"E-Excuse me, Jennie-unnie. C-Could you c-come over here f-for a sec?"
Jennie lifted her head and bore her onyx brown eyes and bore them into Hyoseon's lighter ones.
"'Kay~" the elder said, stuffing her book into her fancy brown leather satchel and putting down her cup of tea, "What's up?"
"W-Well... um... c-could you h-help me?" Hyoseon whispered
"Of course! With what?" Jennie asked
"I k-know technically I s-shouldn't be a-asking this o-of you but s-someone took the Switch from me a-and I want to get it back."
Jennie blinked. "I u-understand i-if you say no, a-and I already have T-Taehee-ah's sketchbook (I got it from Minnie-ah) but I w-would like to have m-more than one... plus I just really like playing that thing." Hyoseon rambled
"U-Um sure." Jennie said
"Thank you, unnie!" Hyoseon squealed, giving Jennie a big hug, "I knew you were the best one to ask since you're so nice."
"Yeah, I don't know about that."
"Wait, what?" Hyoseon said, immediately letting go of Jennie
"No no no! Don't get the wrong idea. I'm obviously going to help you, I just need a favor in return."
"Oh! Of course, unnie! Anything!" Hyoseon said, giving Jennie a bright smile
.
"So where'd you last have it?" Jennie asked.
The two girls had moved into Jennie's deserted room (Yeon was probably in her studio) and were planning on how to find Hyoseon's (well, Jungah's) Switch.
"Um... yesterday, before practice. I was playing some game on it and then Taehee-ah came so I shoved it into my laundry." Hyoseon said
"And when we came back from practice?"
"Oh... I was too tired to do anything so I just ate, showered, and pushed the laundry onto the floor." Hyoseon shrugged
"Your clean laundry?!" Jennie shouted
"No. They were dirty."
"aNd yOu hAd tHeM oN yOuR bEd?"
"Well, what can I say." Hyoseon shrugged, "Anyway today when I was looking for it and my laundry were gone."
"Well Sunshine-ah, I think this is simple enough. Just find whoever did the laundry and that's who has it." Jennie hummed
"But it did! It was Jung-ah, but she won't talk to me!" Hyoseon pouted
Jennie sighed. "So you want me to put the fear of the devil in her?" Jennie asked
"More than that." Hyoseon said, her eyes glowing
"Your words are so evil but your face is so pure." Jennie sighed
Hyoseon giggled. "I know~"
.
Jennie quietly closed the door to Jungah's room. "So?" Hyoseon asked, hopping from foot to foot
"She said she did gather everyone's laundry, but she said she gave it to Minnie-ah because you called her." Jennie frowned
"Well... I did call Jung-Jung-ah..." Hyoseon mumbled, "But it wasn't for long!"
"Oh well. Let's go find Min-Min-ah."
.
"The laundry?" Minnie asked, tilting her head to the side
"Yes!" Hyoseon said
"Um... Kookie-ah gave me the basket... I was walking to the stairs and... oh! That's right!" Minnie exclaimed
"What?!" Hyoseon and Jennie said
"Yeon-unnie wanted me to get my notebook out of her room." Minnie said
"Your... notebook...?" Jennie said
"I-It was more of a diary but whatever!" Minnie squeaked, "I didn't want to just leave the basket there and Taehee-ah was about to run past me so I asked her to do it."
Jennie hummed. "Thanks, Min-Min-ah."
"Mhm!"
.
"Yeah. Last night I called Jung-Jung-ah into my room to play some video games before bed." Taehee said
"What happened next?" Jennie asked
"We were getting hungry so we made a bet. Whoever lost the next round would have to go grab something from the kitchen. I ended up losing and was on my way down when I ran into Minnie-ah at the top of the stairs.
She was looking really panicked and had a full laundry basket at her feet. She asked me if I could bring it to the laundry room for her so I did." Taehee said
"Ah. Okay." Hyoseon hummed
"Anything else?" Jennie asked
"Um... I brought the basket downstairs and went to the kitchen first. I went upstairs after that and came back down and saw Yeon-unnie in the kitchen. Apparently Minnie-unnie wanted some dried fruit and wouldn't stop whining about it but I took the last of it."
"So...?"
"So I asked Yeon-unnie to take the basket to the laundry room and I went to switch out Kookie-ah's snack with something else. When I went back to the laundry room everything was running already and the clothes were being washed. I assumed Rammi-unnie did it and just went back to my room." Taehee finished
"Thanks V-ah." Jennie said, giving the second youngest a warm smile
.
"No, I didn't wash the clothes last night. I just put the basket in the room and went back to the studio." Yeon said
"That's odd. You and Taehee-ah should've crossed paths." Jennie frowned
"Oh. I stopped by the living room to get one of my notebooks." Yeon shrugged, "That's probably why."
Jennie frowned. "So you don't know who washed the clothes?"
Yeon snorted. "Ask Namjoo-ah."
"Actually, that's a good idea." Hyoseon said
"Thanks, Rammi-ah!" Jennie said, giving the adorable girl a tight hug
"Yeah, yeah." she said, blushing slightly
.
"Wait here, Hobi-ah. I'll go in alone." Jennie whispered
Hyoseon nodded and stayed a few feet away from Namjoo's room door.
"Joonie-ah~" Jennie cooed, rapping against the door, "It's Jennie. Let me in please?"
"The door's not locked unnie! You can come in."
"'Kay~" Jennie said, giving Hyoseon a nod before entering Namjoo's room.
"Joonie-ah, do you know who did the laundry last night? I'm sure I left something in the pocket of my jacket." Jennie pouted, flopping onto the bed beside Namjoo
The blonde hummed. "Yeah. I did." she said absentmindedly
"Oh. So you took the Switch?" Jennie asked, sitting up immediately
Namjoo looked up from her book. "Do you think I would tell you?" Namjoo deadpanned
Jennie pouted.
"However, I did take it. I left it on my bed but when I came back it was gone. I had locked the door so I'm guessing Taehee-ah took it." Namjoo shrugged
"And you didn't think to get it from her?" Jennie asked
"No. I don't really care." Namjoo shrugged
Jennie frowned and stood up. "Thanks, Joonie-ah."
"Dead-end?" Hyoseon whispered as Jennie closed the door to Namjoo's room
"No, not at all. Let's go back to Taehee-ah."
.
"I saw it on her bed and she wasn't there so I just took it. I mean it's not against the rules..." Taehee trailed
Jennie nodded in confirmation.
"...and especially since I don't have Yeon-unnie's camera anymore." Taehee finished
"Okay. So you currently have it?" Hyoseon said curtly
"Not anymore. Yeon-unnie took it in compensation for her camera." Taehee frowned
Jennie and Hyoseon groaned. "Let's go find her again."
"Yeon-unnie doesn't have my Switch."
The greenette and brunette turned their heads around to see Jungah coming out of the bathroom.
"Namjoo-unnie does. I nabbed it from Yeon-unnie and Namjoo-unnie nabbed it from me." Jungah said
"What?!" "That little-"
.
"KIM NAMJOO."
The platinum blonde looked up from her book with a slightly panicked face. "Yes, unnie?" she hummed
"I can't believe you lied to me!" Jennie snapped, storming into the room with Hyoseon in tow
"Jennie-unnie I never lied to you." Namjoo said with a pacifying smile, "You asked me if I took it from the laundry basket and I said yes. You asked me if I still had it and I said no. Taehee-ah did take it and I didn't go after her for it. I never lied to you."
"B-But you have it now!" Jennie spluttered
"Yes unnie, what are you going to do about it?" Namjoo sighed
"Give it back to Hyoseon-ah!"
"Why? This isn't apart of the game." Namjoo frowned
"Everyone knows if you wanted to you could get every item so just nab one from someone else!" Jennie pouted
Namjoo sighed. "Fine. It's in the room with Yeon-unnie's camera."
Jennie turned around and was about to march off but realized something strange. "W-Wait, that room is locked!" she squeaked, turning around
"Unnie unnie unnie, you should know there are spares for all of the rooms. Plus I know how to pick locks." Namjoo said
Jennie frowned and stormed off with Hyoseon following nervously behind.
.
"Here you go, Hobi-ah." Jennie said, handing Hyoseon the Switch.
Like Namjoo had said, it was sitting in the guest room bathroom on the toilet beside Yeon's camera.
"Thanks unnie! Now what can I help you with?" Hobi asked
Jennie opened the book and flipped to September 12th.
"You see right here? Where it's blurred? Do you know what it says?" Jennie asked, pointing to it
Hyoseon frowned and took out her phone. She turned on the magnifying app on her phone and stared at it for a while. "Well well well~" Hobi whistled, pulling away
"Tell me who K is! And what this says!" Jennie said eagerly, shoving the book into Hyoseon's hands
"Hold on, unnie. Let me think." Hyoseon mumbled, flipping rapidly through the book.
After about five minutes had passed Hyoseon handed the book back to Jennie. "You really don't know who K is?" Hyoseon hummed
"No." Jennie pouted
"It's you, unnie." Hyoseon sighed, shaking her head, "Anyway thanks for your help."
Jennie stood in silence while Hyoseon walked away. 'Huh... how did I not realize that?'

Tuesday, Last Day (Christmas Day)
"Geez. The competition ends in thirty minutes and I only have three things." Jennie frowned
The greenette had Namjoo's book, Yeon's camera, and had successfully pinched her bow back. "If I get four I will surely win..." Jennie pondered, tapping her chin
"Fine then!" she exclaimed, getting off her bed, "I'll find Namjoo-ah!"
.
"I think Namjoo-unnie's in her studio. Why'd you need her?" Minnie asked
"I wanted to ask her for an item. I only have one." Jennie lied with a pout
Minnie hummed. "Well it shouldn't be hard."
"Why?"
"Jennie-unnie, Namjoo-unnie is whipped for you." Minnie deadpanned
"W-What?" Jennie blinked
"Trust me, I know from experience when someone's whipped and Namjoo-unnie is the very definition." Minnie said
Jennie frowned and lowered her head. "Anyway good luck." Minnie said, making her way to the living room
Jennie quietly made her way to Namjoo's studio. 'Whipped, huh?' Jennie thought
.
"Joonie-ah?"
The platinum blonde raised her head. "Yes?"
"C-Could I get M-Minnie-ah's sweater from you?"
Namjoo raised an eyebrow. "You do realize that this is the last stretch and you have no business asking me it?"
"Y-Yes b-but c-could I have it? I-If I win I promise not to do anything dumb on tv." Jennie said
Namjoo frowned.
Jennie took a deep breath. Time to unleash her inner aegyo. "P-Please?" she whispered, giving Namjoo her biggest puppy eyes and a pout
The leader immediately turned her head away. "N-No, unnie. Play fair."
"I am!" Jennie pouted
When Namjoo showed no reaction, Jennie made her last plea. "Please? For me?"
.
"Wow Jennie-unnie! How'd you get four?!" Jungah exclaimed
"How indeed." Jennie hummed.
