Minho and Jisung were lounging on the sofa in the practice room when Rose entered the room. Jisung sat up from where he was lying with his legs across Minho's to greet her.

"Hello, Noona! How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay. I, um, I realised that I never thanked you, Minho, for finding me the other day and looking after me afterwards, so, thank you."

"It never should have happened. I just wish I had gotten there earlier."

The rapper tried to disperse the tense atmosphere with a small joke.

"Changbinnie-Hyung's already planning to be your personal bodyguard, so you'll be well protected from now on."

"He's so sweet. You all are. Anyway... thank you, Minho. I'll leave you two to get on."

After Rose left, Jisung turned to Minho with raised eyebrows.

"You seem to have changed your tune regarding Rose-Noona."

The dancer fiddled with the sleeve of his jumper, avoiding the other member's gaze.

"I don't know what you mean."

"Hyung, before you couldn't have made your dislike for her any more obvious."

Minho stared at the rapper for a moment before sighing in defeat.

"Fine, but I wasn't trying to hide it."

"And now? You let her sleep in your bed. Even I'm not allowed to do that!"

"Jisung..."

"You like her don't you."

"I'm not blind. She's gorgeous, but the ones that look like that are the most dangerous."

"Hyung..."

The older Idol ignored Jisung's pitying gaze and carried on.

"So, I didn't think she could be trusted, but..."

"But?"

"She's good for Chan-Hyung, and he deserves someone who will look after him. Needs it. The workaholic insomniac."

Jisung chuckled.

"Well, none of us will disagree with you there."

"But she needs looking after too."

"What do you mean?"

"I get the feeling that she's been by herself a long time. She spends all her time looking after others but forgets about herself.

"Chan-Hyung will look after her."

Minho hummed, but all he could picture was the look in Rose's eyes that day as he stood between her and the sasaengs. She had looked so lonely, so vulnerable, nothing like the tough, independent, perfectionist that she appeared to be normally. It had made him second guess his assumptions about her and her intentions with the people who were like family to him.

Rose found Jeongin in the break room, sighing with his head resting on his hand. The table in front of him was covered in books and papers which looked like notes.

"Is everything okay, Jeongin?"

"Hello, Rose... Noona. I'm okay."

The youngest member was still a little shy around his leader's soulmate, but she smiled warmly at him.

"Are you studying English?"

"Yeah. I wanted to practice before we go on tour, but it's so hard!"

"Have you asked the others for help? Two of them are fluent, you know."

Jeongin shook his head.

"They've got their own stuff to do, I don't want to bother them."

"Then, can I help you?"

"You speak English?"

"Born and raised in the UK."

"Oh! Sorry, I assumed..."

"That Rose was a nickname? Don't worry about it. So, what are you struggling with?"

That evening, Felix found Rose in the room she spends the evening in when Chan works late. She was watching something on the computer to pass the time while she waited for Chan to start his V Live.

"Noona, what are you watching?"

"Nothing..."

"That's strange I thought I heard an Australian accent."

"Were you talking to yourself?"

Felix laughed mockingly before grabbing the computer mouse before Rose could stop him.

"Bondi vet?"

"It's an old show I used to watch, but it stopped playing on UK channels. I just found all the episodes on YouTube, so I've been re-watching them."

"Noona! Why did you hide it?"

"I don't know... because the main vet is a 6ft 5 hunky Australian?"

She whispered the last part, but that didn't stop Felix from hearing it and bursting out in laughter.

"What - Noona! What will Chan say?"

"That he's a 5ft 7 hunky Australian?"

The two of them laughed together for a few minutes before calming down.

"You've made an impression on Innie."

"A good one?"

"Of course, Noona! He's been talking about how nice and funny you are all afternoon."

"He's a sweet boy. It's hard not to baby him though. He's so cute!"

"He is, but he's also our muscular baby."

"I think every STAY knows how he was supposed to flash his abs after you on KINGDOM. Either way, that performance was awesome! Definitely my favourite."

"Really? I would've thought WOLFGANG was your favourite."

"Why?"

"Shirtless Chan."

"Felix!"

As Chan ended another episode of Chan's Room, he waited for Rose to join him. It had become a routine of theirs for her to pop in after he finished his V Lives. When she didn't appear after a few minutes, he looked at his to-do list, scribbling some notes and thoughts he'd had so that he wouldn't forget them.

When she still hadn't appeared, he decided to go looking for her. He knew that Rose spent the evenings in one of the rooms next to his when he stayed late. After searching a few rooms, a sound caught his attention, it was someone singing.

As he listened outside the door, Chan thought that the voice sounded familiar, although he was sure that he had never heard it singing before. Then he recognised the song, it was Never Enough from The Greatest Showman. Although it could have been a coincidence, he was sure that this person had watched his V Live.

It must be Rose.

Pushing open the door, he found Rose seemingly having a mini karaoke session. The soundtrack to The Greatest Showman was showing on the screen of the computer in front of her and she was singing along with her eyes closed.

As he listened, he wondered if this particular song spoke to her as he could feel the emotion, she was pouring into it. He watched her, glassy-eyed, as the thought that she did in fact want more filled his heart with hope. He let her finish before making himself known.

""

While her eyes were closed, Rose had pictured her soulmate and every moment which had caused her feelings for him to grow. Seeing his smile, hearing his laugh, watching him work, and feeling so proud of the wonderful person her soulmate was.

"I didn't know you could sing."

Rose jumped slightly at the sound of Chan's voice. Opening her eyes, she quickly stopped the music and turned to smile at her soulmate who was standing in the doorway.

"Technically, everyone can sing."

"You know what I mean. Did you ever think about becoming a singer?"

"No. I love music and I love singing, but I've never wanted to be a performer. I think I'll leave that to you guys."

"Fair. So... you watched Chan's room."

He gestured to the computer screen and the music which had been playing.

"Of course. Brilliant, as always."

"Maybe you could give me some recommendations for next week."

"Really? Uh, yeah, sure. I'd love to."

"Cool."

Chan hovered for a while trying to think of a reason to stay and hang out with Rose for a little longer.

"Are you finished for today?"

"Oh. No, I've still got a lot to do."

"Did you eat the dinner I gave you?"

"Umm..."

"Chan!"

"Sorry! I got distracted and then just forgot."

"Do I need to stand over you to make sure you eat? Come on, you're going to eat your dinner before you get lost in your work again."

Rose got up and started leading her soulmate back to his studio, not noticing the pleased grin on his face.

The next morning, Chan spoke to his manager.

"Why does Rose always seem to be the staff member assigned to be on duty when I do my V Lives? I understand management wants someone to be there, but it seems a little unfair that she always has to stay late."

"Chan, I don't know what you're talking about. We haven't had anyone watching your V Lives for a while now. Apart from the fact that JYP trusts you, no one wants to stay at work that late."

"But Rose...?"

"If she's staying late, it isn't because we've asked her to. Do you want me to ask her to stop?"

"No! I mean, no, that's okay. Thank you."

Chan had a lot of thinking to do.
