It was the last stage for promotions. The next time Stray Kids performed would be on their World Tour. Chan was trying to keep the younger members focused for this last performance, but they were very excited to finally go on Tour again. He sat down in the makeup chair with a sigh, thinking of all the things he had to do after they finished here.

"You're bouncing your leg again."

"Huh?"

Chan looked up to see Rose standing behind him. As he took in her perfect appearance, he was reminded of the conversation they had in his studio that night. How she used makeup as a mask to hide her flaws. He didn't understand how she couldn't see the beauty beneath. His soulmate was kind and caring, but also tough and funny. It made him sad to think that she didn't see these things.

"When you've got a lot to do, you bounce your leg. It's as if you need time to speed up so you can get started."

"Really? I've never noticed that before."

The habit had caught Rose's eye because she did the same thing.

"Okay. I will be doing your makeup today since Unnie is out sick."

Rose placed her hands on Chan's shoulders for a moment before she realised what she had done and quickly removed them. She masked the movement by clapping her hands together.

"You're doing my makeup today?"

"Yes. Is that a problem? I can get the other-"

"No! I mean, no, I'm happy with you."

"Good because I had to beg a little to let them give me a chance. Now, let's get started."

Rose walked around Chan so that she was standing in front of him and began studying his face. The leader was a little confused at first as well as a little uncomfortable at her staring at his bare face.

"What are you-?"

"Done. I don't think you need anything. You're handsome just as you are."

"What? You must be joking, Rose."

"I think STAY would agree with me. You don't need any makeup to look handsome."

"Yes, I do! I do need makeup. Be serious."

Rose picked up her tools and began working on Chan's makeup. Of course, she was going to apply makeup on him. As he was going on stage under heavy lights to be captured on camera, he would benefit from it.

However, what she was trying to get across to him was that he was handsome without makeup. Apparently, the fact that she had called him handsome had completely bypassed him.

"I am serious."

Chan mulled over Rose's words as she did his makeup. He watched himself in the mirror as he was transformed into what an Idol should look like.

The differences were subtle, but the leader could see how Rose had done his makeup differently from the usual makeup artists. Instead of feeling like his flaws had been covered up, they had been highlighted but in a good way. She had corrected his lopsided face, made his eyes look bigger and his nose look smaller. Overall, he still looked like him but without the things that annoyed him every time he looked in the mirror.

"Wow."

"You're acting like this is the first time you've had your makeup done. Is it that bad?"

"What? No! It's... It's perfect."

"As long as you're happy. Now... I was going to say you're ready for hair but the stylists seem a little busy. I guess you're stuck with me again!"

Rose grabbed some hair products and started brushing Chan's hair.

"You know the concept for my hair today as well? Are you going to dress me too?"

"Of course. I study everyone's style concepts before each schedule. And only if you ask me to."

Chan blinked stupidly as Rose's words took time to sink in.

"Uh..."

"I would love to style your naturally curly hair. Are you going to let it grow out?"

"Umm, yes!"

While he hadn't had any plans to grow out his hair and definitely not enough to let his curls take hold, the smile on Rose's face made him answer positively.

Once she had finished styling his hair, Chan wondered why on earth his talented soulmate was working as their run around assistant rather than their head stylist.

"Chan? If there's anything I can help you with, to lighten your workload, just let me know. Okay?"

Again, the leader was stunned by the thoughtfulness of his soulmate. Rose was always ready to help even without being asked. She often had things for them before they even realised that they needed them.

It also hadn't escaped his notice that she had been making sure that he ate properly by bringing him food while he was working. She took care of him, but he wanted to take care of her too.

After their last show, the boys were making plans to celebrate tonight.

"Minho-Hyung, what's your vote?"

"Movie night."

"Yay!"

"But only if I get to choose the movie."

"Hyung! Fine, you can choose."

"Rosie-Noona, are you joining us?"

"Am I invited?"

"Of course, you are! You're part of the group, it won't be group movie night without you!"

"Okay then. Count me in."

"Yay, Noona's coming!'

"This will be your first visit to our dorm."

"You'll be the first girl to visit, even our family hasn't seen our new place yet."

"Really? Then I feel honoured."

Rose was thinking very differently when they were watching the movie. Minho had chosen Train To Busan, a zombie movie. Although some of the others had protested as they remembered that Rose had mentioned that she didn't like scary movies, she insisted that it was fine. While there was a part of her that did want to see the famous film, it was the challenging look on Minho's face that made her agree to watch it.

It started off fine as she managed to contain herself at the jump scares. What Stray Kids didn't know was that Rose was very easily startled. ATEEZ had discovered this by accident one day and ever since they would creep up behind her and make her jump. She knew that these boys had the potential to be so much worse with their teasing, so she hoped that she would be able to stop herself from jumping.

Rose believed she would've been able to as well if it weren't for Changbin. The rapper, who was sitting next to her, proceed to make zombie noises in her ear right at the scary parts. At one point she jumped so much that everyone noticed and started laughing.

"Don't worry, Noona! I'll save you from meanie Binnie-Hyung!"

Felix moved from where he was sitting and wormed his way between Rose and Changbin on the sofa.

No longer having Changbin whispering in her ear didn't help as much as they thought it would as Felix was just as scared as she was.

"I thought you weren't afraid of zombies, Lixie?"

"I'm not. I'm not! It's not the zombies that scare me, it's... Everything else."

During a zombie attack, Changbin pretended to eat Felix making the younger boy giggle and wriggle around trying to escape. Rose leaned away from the fight going on next to her into Chan who was sitting on her other side.

The leader had spent the movie being more aware of how close his soulmate was rather than watching the screen. He noticed when the actions of his younger members were causing Rose to lean away to avoid getting hit. He reached his arm behind her and pushed the two away, using his hand as a barrier between them and her. Chan told them off before whispering in her ear.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes. Thank you."

"Not too scared."

"Ask me tomorrow if I had any nightmares."

On-screen was a particularly gory bit and instead of just closing her eyes, Rose turned her head and hid her face in Chan's shoulder. The leader glanced down at his soulmate and prayed that she would be able to feel how fast his heart was beating at her touch. Feeling brave, he let his hand rest on her arm and rubbed soothingly.

Rose spent the rest of the movie that way, just turning her head towards the screen and then back again into her soulmate's shoulder. Chan thought to himself that he should thank Minho for picking a scary movie. Meanwhile, the dancer was thinking that the night hadn't quite gone to plan.
