making sure mila has something to eat🥹

mila has said this herself, i'm not hating!! but she is a PICKY EATER.

like PICKY PICKY

mila said that when she first moved to korea, she would only eat "white people food" because it's all she was used to.

"i only started using the flavorings of the ramen packs after living here for like 6 months"💀

she said that she didn't even feel asian because she hated all the food and didn't know how to use chopsticks🤧

but!! that was a while ago, and mila has gotten so much better!!

as a picky eater myself, i know how hard it is to go out of your comfort zone with food.

just the fact that when she was a trainee, she would have to make her own food and take that with her whenever the boys wanted to go out makes me want to cryyyyy

but now she likes enough foods to go out with them🥹

anyways, back to the situation at hand;

in episode 2 of chillin' in the dream 8lace, when mark and jeno get the punishment of having to cook for the rest of the members, they wanted to make bibimmyeon. when jaemin came into the kitchen to help them (and also to make sure they didn't burn the kitchen down), mark asked if mila would eat bibimmyeon, to which jaemin says "yes, she will"

this is because mila used to hate bibimmyeon!! fun fact~

this situation also happened in the beginning of the 6th episode.

the boys who were awake wanted tuna and mayo fried rice (which needs fried eggs) for breakfast, and jaemin, being the angel he is, remembered that mila didn't like tuna and mayo fried rice. so, when mark asked for jaemin to scramble some eggs for him, he easily decided to make some for mila<3

when jeno stopped her from tripping

this was kind of a shock for everyone imo??

like, it's not CRAZY or anything, i just have never seen mila have any other problems walking in heels before.

but whatever, she still slayed💅🏻

anyways, at the 2020 asia artist awards, nct dream won the award for best emotive award - music.

all 8 of them stood up and walked up the stairs to the stage. though the order left mila and jeno at the back of the line.

they were all wearing matching black suits, except that mila was wearing 6 INCH HEELS instead of normal dress shoes like the guys were.

and these were like STILETTOS!! super hard to walk in for no reason

now we all know that mila can walk in heels. we've seen her slay in some stilettos in the past.

but, that does not take away from the fact that mila has said on many different occasions that she does not like wearing heels.

now, since she already doesn't like them, why on earth would the staff put her in 6 INCH STILETTOS?????? makes no sense

anyway, as she was stepping up onto the stairs, she stumbled and almost fell backwards into jeno.

jeno, of course, being the gentleman he is, caught her gently by her waist and quickly got her back onto her feet. he then made sure she was steady up the stairs by holding his hand.

once they were at the top of the 5 or so steps, he linked their arms together and walked with the rest of the group to the award presenter.

once they finished that and went back to their seats, mila and jeno were also at the end of the line because they knew mila would need a bit longer to go down the steps.

jeno went in front of her and held her hand down the stairs so she wouldn't fall 🫶🏻

haechan getting mad about mila's sasaeng

woo, this one is already making me mad, and i haven't even written anything yet😡

so, mila's infamous evil sasaeng. the one that broke into the dream dorm and attacked mila while the members were sleeping. (a/n : there will be a fic in detail on this soon!!)

not much is known in detail about this incident. all we have is the account of the sasaeng herself and the statements that have been made by SM and the members.

but what we do know is that there was a big change in how the members treated her after this happened.

there was also a big change in mila.

mila went from being happy and giddy to being quiet and reserved for the first time in a while. this was not too long after her nct2018 hardships as well, so that made everyone even more angry as it seemed like she could never catch a break.

the members, most noticeably the dreamies, all became more cold for lack of a better word.

they would go outside and have this slight look of betrayal on their faces. they would not be as happy or smiley, they would tell less jokes.

everyone was just upset.

however, haechan was arguably one of the most upset ones.

as we know, haechan is mila's roommate in the 127 dorm. but, mila also has her own room in the dream dorm, which is why she constantly moves around and splits her time between the 2 dorms. mila has said that she stays at the dream dorm more often when she does not have promotions because she likes it better over there and she likes having her own room.

so having her personal space and safety violated like this in the place that she calls "home" is just disgusting to me.

haechan went on vlive a few days after the statements were released to talk about the situation.

"how is mila doing?" he reads before placing his phone down and covering his mouth with his hands while thinking about what to say. "she's okay. she's not great, but she's doing her best. she's been staying in the 127 dorm with us. she hasn't even gone over to the dream dorm since what happened." he pauses, looking down before taking a breath in. he looks back up at the camera with a low glare, not doing a good job at trying to hide it. "mila is afraid to sleep, hell, even be in her own dorm now because of you... i hope you are ashamed of the damage you have caused." he speaks bitterly, his words obviously directed at the sasaeng.

he ended the live not long after, giving a short message to please not wait outside their dorms anymore.

mila not having money on a show to buy ice cream, so doyoung and yuta buy it for her

just mila being the cutest once again, what do ya know.

everyone was buying treats and snacks on this nct life show but mila didn't have any money :((((

she was so excited to go into the store and get snacks, but then she just went 😯😕

she quickly tried to wipe off her frown and look around the store anyway, not wanting her members to think she was upset.

when everyone had finished picking out their snacks and were in line to purchase them, taeyong noticed that mila didn't have anything.

"mila, why aren't you getting anything?" he asks, a gentle smile on his face. johnny also listens for her response. "i don't have any money." she replies, shrugging. "aigoo, i'm sure we can get you something." he pats her shoulder before going up to yuta and doyoung at the front of the line, just behind taeil who was buying his items. "doyoungie, yuta~," he calls. "yes?" they answer. "do you mind buying some snacks for our miely? she doesn't have any money." the leader asks. their eyes widen. "of course!! you can get anything you want, mila!! just be quick!" yuta says, and they grin at her. she smiles and perks up. "okay!! thank you!" she says before quickly jogging back into the ice cream aisle and picking up an oreo cone, then she goes and gets some chocolate. she brings them up to the counter with yuta and doyoung's things. "you sure you don't want anything else?" doyoung asks. "no, this is okay." she smiles. they pay for it, and she is beaming on the way out.

they would do anything for her🥹❤️‍🩹

jaemin, jeno, and mark all being attentive when mila stands up because she gets dizzy

a/n : you're just going to have to imagine that it is mila sitting in the first photo with a member in front of her and that there is no skateboard in the second photo

nctzens have thought for a long time that mila is anemic.

this is due to mila's repeated mentionings that whenever she stands up or even sits up in some cases, she feels dizzy, gets tunnel vision, and gets black spots in her vision as well. she said that these are her most frequent symptoms, but they can get worse, including fainting and having her ears ring.

mila has never confirmed her having anemia. the last time she spoke of the rumors was back in 2021 where she said, "I'm not sure if i have anemia... my older sister has the same symptoms as me, but when she went to the doctor, she was told she didn't have anemia. what i can confirm is that i have low blood pressure. i'm not sure why, as high blood pressure actually runs in my family, but that has been present since i was a child. and i have talked to a doctor about this in the past, uh... orthostatic hypotension? that's what she said my symptoms sounded like. czennies, I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with me but thank you for the concern!"

despite no definitive diagnosis for what happens to her, it doesn't stop the other members from caring for her well.

one key example of this happened in episode 6 of chillin' in the dream 8lace. mila was refusing to get up out of bed so jaemin went in to get her. he pulled her to stand up from where she was laying quite quickly, causing her to say, "ah, jaemin, jaem, jaem, slowly, slowly, slowly! i'm dizzy." quickly remembering her condition, jaemin stopped and helped her stand up slowly, allowing her to adjust, all while holding her hands in case she were to fall over.

though this was one instance that jaemin forgot about her condition, there have been many other clips of the boys watching her get up carefully.

most of the time it is subtle actions, such as the members simply keeping an eye on her or lending a hand out to keep her steady. they often let mila walk in front of them just to prevent the possibility of her falling with no one to catch her as she often tries to power through her dizziness, thus making her more dizzy.

renjun and chenle always being sweet and helpful when she tries to speak chinese

mila tries so hard to work on her chinese these days :(( i cry

like my gal speaks 2 languages like a NATIVE and then has borderline fluency in 2 MORE, and is still trying to learn 2 MORE

like gal 😭 i can barely speak my native language (i only speak one language)

she is such an overachiever and FOR WHYYYY

but i love her 🫶🏻

though she often ends up thanking the fans in english (when mark isn't there) and in japanese, once mila tried to thank them briefly in chinese!!

mila has said before that she used to study chinese quite a bit back in 2016 when she was really close with winwin and chenle, but since then, she became more focused on japanese and lost time to study it.

she has always said that chinese was really hard for her just because of dealing with the characters. this is why she is quite good at speaking chinese but not good at reading it!

however, we all know mila is quite emotive when presenting and giving speeches, so her tones often fluctuate with her words. this was another issue for mila as she struggled to remember the tones of the words and tried to keep her voice at a neutral level.

yet despite all of these struggles, mila had been giving a short thank you to their chinese fans at an award show when she stammered and forgot what she was saying.

though this is totally normal for a foreigner trying to speak another language, mila is always super prepared for foreign language speeches, so she was caught a little off-guard.

her face went a little red, and she apologized before turning around to chenle and renjun on her left.

they were both looking at her with the cutest and most loving smiles🥹

the crowd gave some encouraging cheers as mila spoke to them for only a few seconds before turning back to the microphone and finishing her speech like a champ🫶🏻

it's just so cute to me that renle + wayV taught mila all the chinese she knows and how she's still so good at it

and how proud of her they are🥹

we choose to forget when mila was first learning chinese and renjun told her he was teaching her how to introduce herself but she was really insulting herself😭

jeno allowing her to sleep on his shoulder comfortably

mila is such a HARDWORKER!!!!!

if you disagree, you're literally wrong.

she does not have credits on almost every SM release after 2017 fOR NOTHING

so, because of her tendency to overwork herself and prioritise work over sleep and her well-being, the boys are always the first people to let her sleep instead of waking her up if they need something.

it always pains them a little bit to wake her up, even if they are about to be late because they tried to let her sleep in.

basically, if mila is showing ANY signs of being tired (it could literally be rubbing her eyes), they boys are instantly: "PLEASE SLEEP"

so, when the dreamies were in a van going to a mystery location for a fun video, mila unsurprisingly, grew drowsy.

mila was sitting next to jeno in the backseat of this van, steadily growing more and more tired.

but knowing mila, she tried to keep herself awake, not letting herself lean on the window or on her hand. this lead to her dozing off while sitting straight up, her head bobbing down lightly.

jeno was looking at his phone, not paying attention to her.

until he saw her drooping head and was like 😶

he froze for a second before slowly and gently pressing mila's head down to his shoulder, sitting up a little bit so it would be more comfortable for her.

mila did not object. she was so fucking tired.

jeno was so proud of himself as he felt mila kinda relax into him and let more of her weight rest on his shoulder.

he looked up a little with a 😌 look on his face to see jaemin filming him with a grin.

no words are exchanged as jeno's smile grows, and jaemin chuckles quietly before showing a thumbs up to the camera.

jisung and renjun sharing their umbrellas with her

now, while i'm sure all of the members would share their umbrellas with mila under the circumstance that she did not have one, we only have video evidence and jisung and renjun doing so <3

so, on this day where it was raining as nct dream were going to a schedule, mila did not have an umbrella

sooo many fans tried to spin this as mila being mistreated by the staff since all of the boys had umbrellas until another clip was released of mila giving her umbrella to a staff member

the staff repeatedly shook her head and refused, wanting mila to keep it, but she did not accept no for an answer and smiled big when the staff finally accepted.

some bodyguards around quickly tried to cover mila's head with their hands to protect her from the rain, thus catching the attention of jisung and renjun.

they both quickly came over, pushing their umbrellas toward her and not on themselves

mila immediately pushed their umbrellas back over their own heads and shooed them away.

they didn't let up and kept trying to talk to her for a few seconds.

mila laughs lightly and goes next to renjun under his umbrella, leaving jisung with a slight pout on his face.

"you're too big to share an umbrella!" mila exclaims, causing them all to laugh. the rest of their dialogue could not be heard in the video, this was the only thing intelligible.

with content expressions, mila goes under renjun's umbrella and they both put arms around each other; mila's arm going around his waist and renjun's arm going over her shoulders as they walk the short distance to the building.

nct 127 following the sidewalk rule

since the newly publicised "sidewalk rule" on social media, nctzens have brought up all the times that they have preached this before its popularity.

it's not seen as often with nct dream as every time they try (usually renjun, jeno, & jisung), mila just pushes them off and doesn't move.

this leads the boy to be very 🤨😖 because this is what their hyungs taught them to do???? why is she not accepting this gesture that the hyungs do all the time????

so, the dreamies don't really do it anymore, they just keep a watchful eye when she likes to balance on the curb of a busy road.

127 and even wayV however, are a different story.

maybe it's because they're older, but mila always listens when they guide her over to the non-road side of a sidewalk.

sometimes she looks a little 🤨 when her arm gets tugged away, but then she realises where she's standing.

most commonly, the members dragging her away from the cars are taeyong, johnny, kun, xiaojun, and doyoung. but there have been times where ten, jaehyun, and jungwoo have done it.

in the back of many nct 127 videos, most notably the ones where they are exploring the usa, mila can be seen being ushered away from the road by one or two of the members above.

it's just super cute and makes all czennies swoon over the neos' politeness 😵‍💫

the dreamies comforting her when she tries to be strong🥹

this day is not to be confused with the 191117 dream show ending meant!!!

a/n : lmk if i should make something that says in detail what mila said in her ending ment on the 191117 show!!

this was the first of the three dream shows back to back (191115).

mila said her ment not long after jisung did, so she was already emotional when it got to her turn.

jisung was crying as he tried to say his ment, so mila was already sad because she went to comfort him.

now mila HATES seeing jisung cry because it almost always makes her cry with him, so she was hugging jisung (not photo) before her turn.

she had intended for her ment to go a different route, but when it was her turn to talk, she just kinda let her words take her, not following her originally planned direction.

"aw... it's only the first day of the dream show, and i'm already crying ㅠㅠ i thought i would at least be able to be calm on the first day. but because of jisung~~ he made me sad ☹️." there is a brief pause where mila just looks around at the crowd with stars in her eyes. "but really, i can't blame him..." she looks down and swallows thickly before looking back up and blinking back her tears. the other members make various noises of teasing and telling her not to cry, some even coming closer, but mila takes a step back and laughs, telling them to go away. "no, no, i'm okay. i just need a second..." she flaps her hands as a way of shooing them, obviously growing more uneasy, stressed, and upset. with a deep breath, she starts again. "the members don't know this but," she starts, gaining the attention of all the boys. "before the show started today, i was crying in the bathroom because i was worried that this would be the start of our last shows and they wouldn't be strong enough... and i can't help but feel like it's my fault because..." she looks down again, this time for longer as she tries to hold back her tears. she doesn't succeed. tears fall, and her breathing starts to turn into small gasps and hiccups. chenle and haechan both come closer to her, haechan saying "aigoo, mila-yah..." and chenle saying something like "no, that's not..." and mila just taking a step back and flapping her hands to get them not to touch her. she knows that if she lets them comfort her, she will start crying. she wants to finish her ment first. "because i have had big inputs on nct dream's music, and if it's coming to an end..." a particular gasp leaves her lips with a small cry that reaches the microphone, making the crowd whine. the boys come up to her again. she tries to push them away again, but not as much as before. "...then i must have done something wrong." she cries, a deep wail leaving her chest as her hands come to cover her face, muffling her gasps but still allowing them to be picked up by the microphone. the crowd goes quiet, save for the growing volume of whines and telling her that's not true. jaemin pulls her into him, and she wraps her arms around him tightly, her cries into him now being picked up by his mic. chenle, haechan, and jeno are all around them rubbing mila's back as renjun tries to talk while comforting jisung at the same time, who had grown emotional all over again by mila's words.

in less than 2 minutes, mila had pulled away, immediately being met by the faces of her members, presumably asking if she was okay, to which she nods. a tissue is given to her by haechan and she dabs her face clean of tears while fanning her face. chenle helps fan her face, as well.

she keeps the tissue in her hand to repeatedly wipe her running nose as the others continue talking. chenle stays next to her this whole time with his arm around her and his head on her shoulder.

when mila twitched in her sleep and yuta helped 🥹

a/n : you're just going to have to imagine that mila is sleeping in the second one and not on her phone :)

it is a somewhat well-known fact that during stressful times, mila twitches in her sleep.

this info is not from sasaengs btw!!! mila has said this herself along with the members🥰

mila has said that she has done this since she was a kid and it usually means that she is juuust on the edge of falling asleep but not actually asleep.

this is why she hates it.

her stress prevents her from falling asleep when she so desperately needs it.

she will be drifting until she twitches and then she's awake again ☹️

so, when nct 127 were getting ready for a favorite (vampire) stage, mila fell asleep on one of the dressing room sofas while waiting for her turn for her makeup and hair.

in the background of an nct 127 fun video (like in the dressing room) she was waiting on the couch patiently when yuta sat down after finishing his look. she casually laid her head in his lap, which was nothing unusual (as we all know how much she loves yuta🤭)

she scrolled on her phone for a bit, not paying attention to anything and not being bothered by the conversations of her members and the staff.

eventually, she plopped her phone next to her face on the couch and closed her eyes, not moving at all from her original position.

due to her lack of movement, yuta thought that she was still awake. this was until the twitching started. yuta knew what it meant when mila started twitching like this, so he took a quick look at her, saw she was sleeping and leaning back in his spot before bringing his free hand to her hair.

he knew how much mila LOVES having her hair played with and how much it calms her down.

he softly twirled the strands and gave her head a light massage, instantly stopping her twitching and allowing her to sleep calmly before getting ready.

when mila had to be woken up for her turn in the hair and makeup chair, yuta pleaded for her to go last so she could get some extra rest in 🥹

when it was really time, and she had to go, yuta woke her up gently with a pout, cooing at her tired face

mila collapsing on stage

as stated previously, we all know about mila's low blood pressure. this causes her to become dizzy, faint, etc.

but there is one more thing i have neglected to talk about as i do not want to interpret it incorrectly.

and that is mila's history with eating disorders.

everything i will say has already been said by mila herself, her members, or SM.

mila has always had problems not eating enough throughout her entire childhood due to her dedication to her craft(s).

when she was really young and did gymnastics and dance, she would often forget to eat and just do acrobatics the whole day.

this is extremely unhealthy and dangerous as both gymnastics and dance are very demanding sports and require lots of sustenance.

regardless, mila has managed to take care of herself up until around late 2017-early 2018.

mila said that due to a multitude of things that i will not be getting into right now, she spent all of her time working in the studio producing/writing music or perfecting routines, and working on singing/raps. at this time she also focused her remaining time on her studies for her end-of-high school exams.

mila said that during this point in her life, she felt "guilty" taking time out just for herself. she felt like she always needed to be doing something productive.

food did not fall into this category.

mila would sacrifice eating over completing her schoolwork and idol/producer duties.

this caused her to experience a lot of burnout and to faint often because of stress and malnutrition.

though since then, mila has recovered, and takes care of herself (according to her and the members), she still has times where she can revert slightly.

like i said, she has been somewhat this way since she was a child, so it is easy to forget.

one big example of this was in early 2020 after a kick it stage.

this was one of those prerecorded stages due to covid starting to affect the industry.

mila slayed the stage, giving her all and doing her absolute best. you could not notice anything wrong when she was performing.

but after the cameras cut, and all that was left was stuff that would not go on tv, mila collapsed.

she was stood in her ending position, waiting for all the cameras to cut. she wasn't really paying attention, but in the video, you could see just how fast she was breathing and that she was swaying slightly in her stance.

once the other members moved and began to bow to the staff, mila's knees just crumbled, and she fell.

she landed on her knees and hands, her hair covering her face as she heaved in air. then she slumped over kinda on her stomach but still on her knees and elbows.

the other members didn't do anything for a moment. it's unclear whether they didn't notice or if they thought she was just tired from the demanding routine.

the first member to go over to her was taeyong. he looked a little nervous and kinda speed-walked over to her.

he crouched down next to her and moved to look at her face, moving some of her hair out of the way.

none of what they are saying can be heard, so all that we can assume is that he was asking her if she was okay.

he gets her to sit up and holds both of her hands in his. her eyes are closed, and she's still breathing heavily, obviously still really tired.

he asks her something else, and she shakes her head weakly before starting to slump over again. taeyong looks around for a moment before standing halfway up and pulling mila up with him.

she picks her up bridal style with mila barely clinging onto him as he carries her offstage. her eyes are closed as he does this.

there was a lot of fan uproar at this. fans were attacking SM for making her work so hard and demanding to give her more rest.

there was no response or acknowledgement from SM, the nct members, or mila herself.

when mila fell asleep on vlive

this vlive is actually one of my favorites just because of this interaction!!

it's just so sweet!!!

so basically, mila was on vlive in her shared room with haechan at the 127 dorm.

this had been after a day of schedules (we don't know exactly what) and she was just chitchatting about what happened that day and some things she saw on social media.

this wasn't unusual as mila had been going live more recently when this happened.

mila did say that the schedule ran a little later that day and that she was tired but that she also wanted to stay up and talk with czennies <333.

however, about 25 mins into the live, mila had been laying on her bed with the phone leaning against her open laptop screen. her head was resting on her folded elbows as she read the comments and talked contently.

due to this position and her growing tiredness, it was not difficult for mila to fall asleep.

fans thought that she was just resting her eyes for a moment and that she was still awake until it had been like 2 minutes of pure silence.

then all the comments were mixtures of "omg is mila asleep???" and "she's so cute aaaaa" and "sm really needs to let her rest smh"

she had only been out for around 10 minutes when haechan came in.

they share this room, so it is not a surprise that he came in unannounced.

the door cannot be seen from the vlive, but it can be heard closing and footsteps getting closer.

haechan appears behind mila to the side and quietly says "aigoo, mila fell asleep with her laptop on, let's fix this for my twin, eh?" he then reaches for her hands to move them off the keyboard to close the laptop when he notices that her phone is actually on vlive😭. "oh! hello~~" he greets cutely, giving a wave as he picks up the phone. "thank you for watching over mila, czennies. i will take over and make sure that she sleeps well! goodnight!"

he then ends the live, and we can assume that he finished getting all her stuff away so she could sleep<3

afterwards, on twitter, haechan was trending for being a lovely caring member as he acted so sweet without even knowing that he was being recorded

johnny stopping mila from falling off stage

okayyyy, so we all know that mila isn't clumsy, as she loves to remind us, but she lowkey is (don't tell her i said that).

so what transpired, was during the singapore show on the neo city - the origin tour in 2019. the stage was kinda an upside-down T shape with a little B-stage at the end.

mila was not paying attention to anything other than nctzens <3.

during replay (am 1:27), mila was looking into the crowd, as she does, with that big smile on her face.

she was squinting a bit, trying to read some of the signs that fans had up while also trying to dance around at the same time.

she was at the part in the stage where the B-stage starts. at the corner, she was leaning over to look at something. she was standing on that lower platform next to the stage that looks like she's on stage, but she's not really on it, you know???

anyway, once she finished reading, she turned towards the catwalk again and quite literally STEPPED OFF THE FUCKING STAGE

and she says she's not clumsy😑

but THANK GOD johnny was coming to the B-stage and was at the end of the catwalk. he SNATCHED her up and carried her for a few seconds before putting her down in the middle of the B-stage, where he was sure she couldn't fall off.

he looked at her for a minute, hands on her shoulders as they talked. none of what they were saying was picked up by their microphones, so we don't know what they said🤷‍♀️

mila nodded at him, and they both walked back down the catwalk to the main stage with hands around each other. probably just johnny being extra cautious now😖

none of the other members seemed to notice (probably a good thing because you KNOW taeyong would have scolded her).

after the show, mila went on her bubble to respond to czennies.

"i fell off the stage? no i didn't!!!! you're lying!!!" she joked with lots of emojis. she thanked them for their concern and promised it wouldn't happen again <3.

renjun yelling at the sasaengs calling her😳

i do not want to be on renjun's bad side 😳😳😳😳

so this happened in late 2019 when mila, renjun, jeno, and jaemin were all doing a vlive together.

it's very similar to what happened to jeno on the 200114 vlive with renjun, chenle and jeno.

mila was trying to read the comments on their vlive on her phone but she couldn't because sasaengs kept calling her.

she didn't even bat an eye as she repeatedly swiped the calls away, declining them and going back to what she was trying to do.

but IT WAS CONSTANT!!!

this was like 30 calls in 2 minutes like GALLLLLL

with each call, you could see mila growing more and more irritated with her side eyes to the camera :(

it got really bad when she tried to show something to the camera, and she got a call, so she swiped it away and showed the camera again. then she got another call, swiped it away and tried to show her screen again. when she got a third call, renjun stood up and took her phone from her hand, saying "give it to me"

he walked out of frame and began yelling at the sasaeng (as he should 💅🏻)

mila looked at him like 😳😏😊 and then started talking really loudly to cover up what renjun was saying.

it's hard to make out, but renjun can be heard yelling at the sasaengs saying things like "stop calling mila or else i will report your number and press charges"

basically scary renjun

he came and sat back down like 😒 and mila smiled at him and gave him a side hug to express her gratefulness <3333

“Jisung-ssi?”

“Woo!”

“Mila-ssi?”

“Yes,”

“Chenle-ssi?”

“Ehe,”

“Renjun-ssi?”

“Yes,”

“Okay, you’re all here,” Haechan says before turning around to go inside.

“What about Jaemin?” Renjun asks.

“He isn’t here,” Haechan reponds. “Okay, everyone, come in!”

“Wow, this is so call,” Jisung says as he gazes around outside.

“Can I keep my shoes on?” Jeno asks before stepping inside the house. Mila kicks her shoes off before giving him a look.

“Yes!” Haechan answers.

“No!” Renjun contradicts.

“What do you see in the front?” Haechan starts the tour.

“Piano,” the group choruses.

“Wait, this is almost… my dream house,” Renjun says. 

“This is your dream house? You’re weird,” Mila says sarcastically. 

“Yah!” Renjun yells. Mark laughs at the two of them. Mila follows the rest of the group into the kitchen.

“Huh?” Haechan asks as the fridge won’t open. 

“Maybe pull it,” Mila says, going over to him. 

“I am pulling!” Haechan shrieks. Mila pushes him out of the way and pulls, but the door doesn’t budge. “This really won’t open.”

“You idiots,” Renjun chortles. Jeno goes back over to the fridge and pulls. “It just means we aren’t allowed to open it.”

“Okay, vibes, I guess,” Mila shrugs. 

“We opened it just now,” Haechan reminds. Then Jeno opens the fridge. 

“It just doesn’t like me and Haechan,” Mila concludes.

She follows the rest into the next room with the dog house bed. Mila goes in as Renjun calls for Jeno. “I call dibs on this bed!” Mila yells excitedly, making them laugh. “No, it’s Jeno’s bed,” Renjun corrects. Mila frowns. “This is the bed for Jeno,” Haechan announces.

Then they leave the room. “Okay, next, should we eat a mango together?” Haechan proposes. “I don’t like mangos,” Mila reponds.

“I’m so gonna slip down these stairs later,” Mila says to herself as she walks down the stairs.

“Wow! It’s huge! Can we move here?” Mila grins and walks around the upstairs excitedly.

“It has karaoke,” Mark points. “There’s karaoke?” Mila asks.

“There’s a guitar here, too,” Mark says. “A guitar, but no ukulele. Heart been broke so many times,” Mila sings, making Mark laugh.

“I wish this were our dorm,” Renjun says. “That’s what I said!” Mila agrees.

She then goes and sings Chewing Gum with Haechan, Renjun and Jeno.

“We should decide the rooms and there are many beds. Someone may get to use a super large bed by themself. Some people may need to share a tiny bed. Some may have to sleep on the floor. Some may have to sleep in the hammock at the swimming pool,” Haechan says making the others laugh. “We keep things fair, right?”

“We do?” Chenle asks quietly, making Mila snicker. 

“To make it fair, should we make it in age order?” Haechan asks. 

“How, in any way, is that fair?” Mila blurts, making the rest laugh. 

“Let’s make it fair and play rock, paper, scissors,” Chenle says. 

“The first place will decide everything,” Haechan says.

“You lose if you don’t play, rock, paper, scissors,” Chenle starts the game. Mila does scissors. “Rock, paper, scissors.” Mila does scissors again. “Rock, paper, scissors.” Mila does scissors a third time and wins with Jeno and Haechan.

“You lose if you don’t play, rock, paper, scissors,” Haechan starts the game again. Mila does scissors again. “Rock, paper, scissors.” Mila goes rock with Jeno and loses to Haechan. 

“Ah~!” Mila whines out of anger, but smiles quickly after.

“Jeno for the dog house,” Haechan announces. 

“No!” Mila and Jeno cry. 

“Why do you want the dog house, Mila?” Haechan asks her. 

“Because I think it’s cool. Also, I will get to be in the dark.”

“The dog house looked pretty nice,” Mark agrees. 

“I know!” Mila responds. 

“It makes no sense! I don’t want it, and Mila does but you still give it to me?”  Jeno exasperates. 

“Yes, exactly,” Haechan smiles. “Who wants to sleep by the window in that white bed?” The gorup goes silent. “Renjun can sleep there.” Mila’s eyes go wide. 

“I would hate that,” Mila says. 

“What’s worst about it is the morning,” Jaemin agrees, reenacting a getting hit with the sun in the morning. 

“No curtains?” Renjun asks, looking behind to see the bed. 

“Silence!” Haechan yells. “If you are done, come over there. I may change it to a better place. Do as I say.”

“Yes, sir,” Renjun obeys. 

“First, Renjun will get the bed by the window for now. Jeno will get the dog house. Raise your hand if you want to sleep on the single bed over there,” Haechan orders. 

“Which single bed?” Jeno asks. 

“I’ll sleep there, I’ll go there,” Mark blurts. 

“Wait a second, don’t be in a rush. Jaeminnie can use the single bed. You can come over here,” Haechan says. 

“He’s the king. Do I need to bow down to Haechan?” Jisung asks rhetorically. 

“It feels like it,” Mila agrees. 

“Jaemin’s beloved Chenle can sleep in the bed next to it. No, no, no,” Haechan alters. 

“The double?” Mila and Jeno shriek. 

“No, no, no. Jisung can sleep on the double bed next to it,” Haechan corrects. 

“Okay!” Jisung grins. 

“Come over here,” Haechan states.

After figuring out the bed situation and then contradicting everything that was worked out, Haechan calls for an applause. 

“Bro!” Mila yells. 

“What?” Haechan yells back. 

“What about me?” Mila asks, making everyone start laughing insanely hard. 

“You can sleep outside,” Haechan says nonchalantly, making everyone laugh even harder. Mila purses her lips and nods. 

“We will be meeting outside later,” Mila threatens. 

“I’ll finalize the decision. Jisung and Jaemin for the bunk bed,” Haechan starts. 

“Who is at the top?” Mark interrupts. 

“Jaemin can decide that. Top or bottom?” 

“I don’t care,” Jaemin answers. 

“You can go at the top. Renjun can go at the end over there. That bed, which reminds me of Renjun. Next, Mark can go to the double bed. Then, Jeno will go to the dog house,” Haechan continues. 

“No!” Jeno and Mila groan in unison, Jeno falling onto the couch. 

“Chenle will go to the bed in front of it. Mila will sleep on the hammock,”  Haechan says, making Mila sigh and collapse next to Jeno on the couch. 

“I’ll take the dog house if you can sleep next to Chenle,” Mila mumbles to Jeno. 

“I would do that. Let’s just wait till later, I’ll ask Chenle,” Jeno nods. 

“Then, I’ll get the single bed. Give applause,” Haechan finishes. 

“I love this,” Mark giggles. 

“It’s perfectly tailored,” Haechan states. 

“Perfectly tailored? I’m going to freeze!” Mila squeaks.

“Next is Mila’s bag. Ooh, expensive,” Haechan says as Mila’s blue and black Dior backpack is passed over to him. 

“Don’t say that,” Mila laughs. 

“First, before we open the bag, I would like to note that there is a keychain here.”

“I made that!” Jisung shrieks. 

“Yes! I love it!” Mila grins. 

“Now, Mila is notorious for over-packing, so I am quite surprised that she did not bring a duffle bag today,” Haechan instigates. 

“To be honest, so am I,” Mila chuckles. 

“Okay, I’ll open the bag~. First thing, face masks,” Haechan says. 

“A necessary item,” Renjun states as he passes them to Mila.

“Second, a thick hoodie.”

“Ah, it’s so pretty, who bought it for you?” Jaemin asks as he passes the hoodie to Mila. 

“Nana bought it for me because I was always complaining about being cold and I don’t like puffer jackets,” Mila explains to the camera. 

“Next, gum. Mint and watermelon. I’m taking that,” Haechan says before putting the two packs in his pocket. 

“At least give me the watermelon,” Mila says. 

“No, I don’t think I will,” he shows a tight-lipped smile. “I’m going to do the front pocket before the rest. Next, AirPods.” He hands them to Mila, who puts them in her pocket. “Next, a… toy?” Haechan studies the fidget toy in his hand. 

“Yeah, it’s my fidget toy for my anxiety. I’ve been using it a lot recently,” Mila elaborates. 

“How does it work?” Haechan queries. 

“It just spins, look, give it,” Mila says but Haechan doesn’t hand it over and instead spins it. 

“Ah, I got it!” Haechan exclaims. 

“Yeah,” Mila nods. 

“It’s cool, mine now.” Haechan puts the toy down next to him but Mila reaches over to grab it. 

“Uh, yeah, no it’s not. I was actually meaning to ask for it earlier,” Mila says as she sits back down and starts to mess with it.

“Next, lip balm,” Haechan says, handing the orange stick to her. “Next, in the big pocket again… wa, your laptop.” Haechan looks slightly shocked as he lifts it out. 

“Yes, and be careful, it doesn’t have a case yet.” Mila grimaces at how he holds the laptop. 

“How come you don’t have a case yet? Haven’t you had it for like three months?” Mark asks. 

“I don’t know, I just never got around to it,” Mila shrugs. 

“Next, a polaroid camera.” Haechan hands the gray camera to her.

“I brought it to take pictures of us but Jaemin will probably be the one who uses it the most,” Mila sighs before laughing with the rest. 

“Next, dib.” Haechan says after peeking in the bag once more. 

“Dib!” Chenle exclaims. 

“Wallet.” Haechan is about to give it to Chenle but stops. “Wait, I want to open it,” he says. 

“Aish, stop!” Mila reaches for it but Haechan pulls it away. 

“Mila! Why do you not have pictures of us in here? I’m offended,” Haechan whines. 

“You should be,” Mila laughs. 

“Who do you have in there?” Jisung asks. 

“Uh, there should be me, Yeri unnie and Jonghyun oppa,” Mila says. 

“Correct.” Haechan shows the picture to the camera. “Here, Chenle,” Haechan says as he passes the wallet to Chenle. 

“Whatever,” Mila jokingly rolls her eyes.

“Next, chargers.” Haechan passes them to Mila like he is not interested in them at all. “Next…” Haechan starts before he bursts out laughing. 

“What is it?” Mila asks, feeling slightly nervous about what could have made Haechan react that way. 

“Your blanket!” Haechan laughs even harder, making the rest laugh and Mila turn red. 

“Aish, shut up!” Mila snatches her blue blanket from Haechan and balls it up to make it look small next to her. “And, her name is Blueberry.” 

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know that we had a four-year-old in our group,” Haechan teases. 

“Says the one who needs four stuffed animals to sleep every night,” Mila fires back, making Haechan stop laughing, which makes everyone laugh harder. 

“Okay, next, a bathroom bag,” Haechan states. 

“It just has my toothbrush and other things in it. There’s no need to open it,”  Mila tries. Haechan ignores her, opening it quickly and looking at what’s inside. 

“Yeah, there is boring stuff in here, no need to open it.” Haechan zips the Tommy Hilfiger bag and hands it to her.

“Honestly speaking, aren’t you all hungry?” Haechan asks while Mark sings Candy by Baekhyun in the background. 

“Why do you sound like that?” Mila asks him. 

“Like what?” Mark raises an eyebrow at her. 

“You sound like a country singer but bad,” Mila says, making Mark laugh.

“I’m super hungry,” Jisung responds to Haechan. 

“I’m not that hungry but I could eat,” Mila re-enters the conversation. 

“Okay, then let’s choose someone to cook. Who will cook…” Haechan trails off. 

“Rock, paper, scissors?” Chenle offers. 

“While someone cooks, let the rest of us do something else.”

“First, Jisung and Mark shouldn’t cook. What do you want?” Chenle asks Haechan. 

“Kimchi fried rice,” Haechan replies. 

“Well, you make the best kimchi, why don’t you just make it?” Mila says. 

“Hyung, you make the best kimchi,” Jisung says to Mila. 

“I don’t want kimchi,” Jaemin says. 

“For ramyeon… Haechan is the best at cooking ramyeon,” Chenle says. 

“I want steak,” Renjun states. 

“Eat that somewhere else,” Haechan deadpans. They propose a few more food ideas. “No, let’s play rock, paper, scissors to choose two people and they can cook whatever.”

“Okay, okay, you lose if you don’t play, rock, paper, scissors,” Chenle starts the game. Mila plays rock. “Rock, paper, scissors.” Mila plays scissors. “Rock, paper, scissors.” Mila plays rock again. “Rock, paper, scissors.” Mila plays paper. 

“Shoot!” Jisung shrieks. Mila plays paper again. “Shoot!” Mila plays rock. “Shoot!” Mila plays scissors. They play a few more rounds until they finally split into two teams in the game. Mila plays rock and wins with Renjun and Jaemin. 

“It’s Mark and Jeno? We’re gonna get food poisoning,” Mila shows a faux distraught expression as she falls against the couch.

“What should we do to have fun?” Jaemin asks. 

“Take a nap,” Jisung replies. 

“Take a nap?” Jaemin clarifies. 

“Yo, a nap sounds really good right now, I can’t lie,” Mila says. She walks away from the other boys with Blueberry the blanket in her hands. She goes over to the bed in the corner of the room. “This is Mark’s bed, right?”

“Yeah,” Jisung answers. 

“He won’t mind if I sleep here for like twenty minutes,” she says as she gets under the covers. 

“Are you actually going to take a nap, now?” Jaemin asks. 

“Yes. I’m tired.” Mila’s voice is muffled as she snuggles into the covers and puts her blanket over her eyes. 

“Good night, Sungie, Nana.” 

“Okay, this person… they are… wa, how do I… Okay, this person is something special. They have always been there for us, whether you noticed it or you didn’t, they were always there. I know that this person has trusted me many times, which made me feel really thankful because they are such a great person. I know that this member cares so much for all of us, and they show it by putting more stress on themself so that we will have less. I wish that they would realize that they don’t have to do that. With all of this extra stress, they are still doing well, which always amazes me, because I know that I could never do all that they do and still put a smile on my face. But, yeah, I just wish that this member would see that we are proud of them,” Mark finishes. Mila’s hair has fallen over her face and with the help of her hood, the tears in her eyes can’t be seen. 

“Can I guess?” Haechan asks. 

“Chenle needs to guess,” Jeno says. 

“I think it’s Mila,” Chenle answers. 

“Yeah, it’s Mila,” Mark smiles. 

“Right, I’m glad,” Jisung nods. Mila takes her head off of Jeno’s shoulder, revealing her glossy eyes. 

“Wa, Mila, are you crying?” Haechan teases. Mila is about to retaliate, but she just sighs. 

“Aish, Haechan,” she sighs before she turns to Mark. “Thank you, that means a lot.” She reaches to hug him over their chairs. 

“Anytime.”

“Mila,” Renjun says, telling her to describe a member. Mila bites her lip. 

“Hm, this member, he…” she trails oof. 

“We’re supposed to say ‘they’- Oh,” Jisung interrupts, making the rest laugh. 

“Yes, but I’m not talking about myself, am I?”

“Sorry,” Jisung mumbles as the tips of his ears turn pink. 

“Anyway, this member is really… great,” Mila states and the other members snicker. “He really helped all of us, and I hope that he knows that. Without him, we would’ve been a lot more lost, and it would’ve been a lot harder to work. He always knows exactly what to say and when to say it, and I really admire that ‘cause I know that I could never do that. I really hope that he knows how grateful we are for him, because we don’t tell him enough. He brought us together and really made sure that everything worked out.” Mila’s voice cracks at the end of her description. 

“Yah, Mila, stop crying,” Haechan groans. 

“I’m trying, Haechan, this is emotional,” Mila defends herself and fans her eyes as the rest of the group laughs lightly. 

“I know so well who it is,” Jisung says. 

“Guess, Sungie,” she smiles. 

“Jeno hyung.”

“Right.”

Mila rests her head back on Jeno’s shoulder for the rest of the game.

“Wow, the moon is really big,” Mark comments. “Is it?” Mila asks before looking. She gasps and grins widely, very excited. “Wow, it’s so pretty!” she exclaims, making the rest laugh. “Why is it so clear?” Mark asks. “It’s because it’s night,” Haechan. answers Mila then laughs after the moment of silence.

After getting changed into her pajamas, Mila sits in between Jaemin and Haechan on the couch.

“I’m sleepy, though,” Mark says. 

“Should we sleep?” Jaemin offers. 

“What time is it now?” Jisung asks. 

“Do I have to go into the dog house?” Jeno asks with a pout. 

“Then I’ll go up to the second floor,” Mark says. 

“I’m on the first floor, right?” Jisung asks. 

“Good night, guys,” Mark says. 

“Wait, where does noona sleep?” Jisung asks. 

“Outside,” Renjun answers. 

“No, Haechan said I could sleep inside earlier,” Mila contradicts. 

“Where are you going to sleep?” Jaemin queries. 

“I don’t know, maybe on this couch or something,” she shrugs. 

“Mila, you can come to our room,” Chenle offers. 

“Oh, okay.” Mila follows Chenle and Jeno downstairs to their room. Mila and Jeno jump onto Chenle’s bed at the same time, hitting themselves in the process. Chenle laughs as the others groan in pain. “Wa, this bed is big.”

“You can share it with me,” Chenle says to her. 

“I want the dog house, though. Jeno can share with you. Unless he wants to share the dog house,” Mila smirks. 

“No!” Jeno shrieks. 

“Fine, Jeno can share this bed with me, you can have the dog house, Mila,” Chenle says. 

“Yes!” Mila and Jeno exclaim simultaneously.

“Does it feel nice in the dog house, Mila?” Chenle asks her jokingly. 

“Yes! I actually love it,” Mila smiles, making Chenle and Jeno laugh. “Ooh!” she squeals as she discovers that there is a light in the dog house. 

“Wa!” Chenle gasps. Mila starts pressing the light repeatedly, turning it on and off. 

“No, Mila, no,” Jeno murmurs. 

“Sleep!” Chenle orders. Mila starts fake snoring. 

“I really am sleepy, though,” Jeno states. 

“I slept for an hour earlier,” Chenle says. 

“An hour? I only slept for like, twenty minutes,” Mila replies.

“Be quiet!” Mila yells, hearing Jaemin and Jisung. 

“Let’s sleep!” Jeno and Chenle yell. 

“Dog house, be quiet!” Jaemin yells. Mila barks, making Jaemin and Jisung laugh. “Doggy Mila, sing a lullaby.” Mila starts singing, sounding like a dog. 

“Why did I do that?” Mila asks, poking her head up. 

“I wonder why,” Chenle responds. 

“Doggy Mila!” Jaemin calls again. Mila howls, hearing Jaemin and Jisung’s laughs. 

“She’s cute for some reason,” Jisung comments. 

“I told you to sing a lullaby!” Jaemin commands. Mila howls again. 

“I love you~, I’m a wolf and you are a beauty~!” Mila sings. Jaemin laughs again. 

“You lose if you don’t play, rock, paper, scissors!” Chenle says. Jeno and Mila play scissors, but they both change their hands, so it doesn't work. “You lose if you don’t play, rock, paper, scissors!” Chenle says again. Chenle does paper again while Jeno and Mila do scissors. “Guess what it is,” Jeno states. “You’re closer, it’s hard for me to get out,” Mila tries to persuade. 

The next morning, while Chenle, Mark and Jaemin are in the kitchen, Mila and the others still asleep, Mila is mentioned.

“Can you make me scrambled eggs?” Mark asks Jaemin. “I’ll make it for you. Also some for Mila, she doesn’t like tuna and mayo fried rice,” he answers. “Thank you. I need about two eggs, Mila does, too, I think,” Mark says. “So, four eggs?” Jaemin asks. “Yeah, scrambled,” Mark answers. 

When Jaemin finishes making the scrambled eggs, he pours half of it into the tuna and mayo mixture, the other half in a small bowl for Mila. 

“Should we wake the guys up?” Jaemin asks. “Sure,” Mark replies. “But, it’s not ten o’clock yet,” Jaemin reminds. 

“Chenle! Wake the guys up,” Jaemin tells him. “Wake up,” Chenle says to Jeno and Mila. “Go up to the second floor and wake them up,” Jaemin says.

“I’ll play the piano to wake the guys up,” Mark states.

“Play it… loudly,” Jaemin says. As Mark plays the piano, singing loudly to wake up the others with Jaemin, everyone around the house wakes up. 

“This is not happening,” Mila mumbles as she puts her blanket over her eyes. As Jaemin tells the ones upstairs to wake up, Mark does the same to Mila and Jeno. 

“Mila-yah~,” Mark sings. 

“Shut up, Mark!” Mila yells, making everyone in the house laugh.

“How was my serenade?” Mark asks as he goes into Mila and Jeno’s room. 

“It was so great, Mark. So great that it made me want to put you in a headlock,” Mila’s voice cracks as she deadpans her words. Mark laughs really loudly as Jeno snickers. 

“You guys gotta get up,” Mark says before leaving the room. After a minute or two, Jeno slowly gets out of his bed and goes over to the dog house. 

“Mila, you have to get up,” Jeno says. 

“No~,” she whines. Jeno gently pulls her out, practically dragging her as Mila refuses to move. “Jeno-yah, stop~.” He stops pulling her and stares at her, leaning up against the outside of the dog house. They say nothing for a moment. Mila then tackles Jeno back into his bed. They both laugh like idiots. 

“Mila~, we have to get up.”

“No~.” she grumbles again. They just lay there for a couple minutes, cuddled up together. “Go to the others, I’ll be out in a minute.”

“Okay,” Jeno says as he untangles himself from Mila to walk out of the room. “But you can’t go back to sleep!”

“I won’t, promise.”

“Where’s Mila?” Jaemin asks as Jeno meets the rest of the boys upstairs. 

“She’s awake, she just won’t get up,” he explains. 

“I’ll get her,” Jaemin sighs. Jaemin then goes downstairs and sees Mila zoned out in Jeno’s bed, staring at the ceiling. “Well, you got this far,” he smiles. “Mila~, you have to get up, breakfast is ready,” Jaemin says from the doorway. Mila shakes her head to get out of her daydream. 

“No, I don’t wanna get up.”  Jaemin goes over to her and grabs her hands, pulling her to stand up. “Ah, Jaemin, Jaem, Jaem, slowly, slowly, slowly! I’m dizzy.”

“Oh, right, sorry.” Jaemin stands her up slower. She stumbles a bit and Jaemin holds her hands in his. 

“Give me a second,” she says and they go silent for a moment. “Okay, I’ll go.”

“Yay!” Jaemin cheers as he pulls her outside. Mila goes and sits next to Jeno on the couch, putting her head on his shoulder. As everyone sits down, Jaemin gives Mila her bowl of scrambled eggs. 

“I didn’t ask for these?” she raises her eyebrow. 

“I know, but you don’t like tuna and mayo fried rice, so I made you this instead,” Jaemin replies. 

“Oh, thank you,” Mila smiles at him.

“Tteokbokki sauce tastes like the one from restaurants,” Mark comments. “Yeah, it’s really good,” Mila agrees.

“I had a good night’s sleep. I woke up even before the alarm rang,” Haechan says. “I also did, I woke up each time our door was opened, I just went back to sleep every time,” Mila says. “How was the dog house?” Renjun asks Jeno. “It was good,” Mila responds. “You slept there?” Haechan asks. “Yeah, you should’ve known that I was gonna get it. Jeno didn’t want to and I did,” Mila answers.

When Haechan asks for Chapagetti, Mila doesn’t participate in the game as she doesn’t want it. 

Mila doesn’t play ping pong with Jeno, Haechan and Chenle. She isn’t shown, but she is inside packing with Jaemin.

Once everyone is outside, ready to go, Mila plays ping pong once. She hits the ball three times until Mark loses it, gaining Mila’s team a point. Everyone cheers because Mila never plays ping pong and she’s really bad at it. “Bro, imagine losing to me in ping pong. That’s embarrassing.” Mila laughs.

Around the fire, Mila sits between Chenle and Mark, holding a guitar. Mila plays Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová with Mark. She and him are the only ones singing the words correctly.

“Mel! Mel! Should we sing Walk you home live?” Haechan asks. 

“Yes!” Mila grins, turning to look at Mark.

“I almost cried a little,” Mark says. 

“Already?” Chenle asks.

“I’m sorry, is it not the right mood?” 

“Five, six, seven, eight,” Haechan counts them in. As they start to play, Mila sings quietly, trying to concentrate more on playing. She encourages Jisung and Jeno to sing their parts as they are her favorites. 

“Guys, let’s just stare at it, one, two, three,” Haechan states. 

“No talking?” Mila asks. 

“No, you can talk,” Haechan answers. 

“It’s funny if we try to do it on purpose, though. It’s burning nicely,” Jaemin says. 

“I want to touch it,” Mila comments, but no one reacts to it. 

“Why is the fire moving so much?” Jisung asks. 

“It’s because of the wind,” Jaemin replies. 

“It dances really well,” Haechan says and Mila smiles. 

“It’s got such a flexible body,” Jaemin observes.

“But beer pong made me realize that we can finally play that game since Jisung isn’t underage anymore,” Mark says. 

“But, honestly, alcohol really tastes so bad,” Jaemin states. 

“It really is bad,” Jisung agrees. 

“Maybe alcohol is bad, does that stop me from drinking it? No,” Mila says, making the rest laugh. 

“There’s only one thing Jaemin likes… KGB,” Jeno states. 

“It’s fine as long as I don’t taste the alcohol,” Jaemin explains.

“Same! Unless if I’m drinking it quickly,” Mila points her finger at him while nodding her head in agreement.

“Fans told me, in the sixth year of our debut… Mark is now twenty-three.” Jisung states. Mila makes a surprised face. 

“You’re twenty-three? Oh, in Korean age,” Mila asks before answering her own question right after. 

“I’m twenty in the sixth year of my debut,” Jisung continues. 

“Wait a minute, what are you trying to say?” Mark asks, feigning offence. 

“Are you calling us old?” Mila asks the youngest.

“I hate sweet potatoes, but that’s really good,” Haechan says. Jeno lets Mark take a bite. 

“Isn’t it good?” Jeno asks. 

“It is,” Mark nods. 

“Can I try it?” Mila asks and Jeno lets her take a bite as well. She takes a really small bite, barely a nibble. “I don’t like sweet potatoes, but it’s pretty good, I guess.”

“You barely even took a bite,” Renjun mocks.

Jeno opens up an actual potato. “Wa, that looks really good,” Mila comments. “Did you say you’d put sugar on here?” Mark asks. “Sugar?” Mila asks in disbelief. “It’s really good,” Jisung tries to persuade. “Isn’t salt better?” Mark asks. “Yeah, I would think so, too,” Mila agrees.

“Hello~. Wa, you guys bought a lot. I knew I should’ve gone, keep you from buying the whole store,” she jokes. 

“You could at least help us carry it all inside,” Haechan responds.

“I think I’m okay,” she smiles sarcastically.

“Turn it up!” Mila calls to Haechan when hearing Leave The Door Open by Bruno Mars. She sings along and dances a little bit. She lip syncs the lyrics as they play, a large grin on her face. She then does the snap dance with Renjun and Haechan. 

“Go out! Go out,” Renjun points. They walk off the steps while dancing and mouthing the words of the song emotionally. Mila grabs Jisung’s hands, pulling him with her. Jisung laughs nervously as she dances with him for a few seconds. She then goes back to the stairs to lip sync the high note with Renjun and Haechan.

She then dances to BOOM with everyone happily. Then Candy by Baekhyun comes on. 

“Mila, didn’t you produce this?” Renjun asks her. 

“Yeah, this and a few more songs on the album, I think,” Mila answers. 

“What? You produced this?” Jisung and Chenle ask at the same time. 

“You guys didn’t know?” Mila asks them. 

“Aish, what haven’t you produced?” Chenle flops back down into the hammock.

“I hope it turns six o’clock soon,” Haechan. says as he checks the time. 

“Why?” Renjun asks him. 

“Baekhyun hyung’s song will be out,” he replies. 

“Wow.”

“It’s Bambi, right?” Mila asks Haechan. 

“Yes,” he nods. Haechan then puts on 7 Days. Mila sings and dances to it with the rest of the members who are outside. “Okay, everyone!”

“Is it out?” Jisung calls. 

“What came out?” Jeno. asks, confused 

“Baekhyun hyung’s song,” Haechan grins giddily as he starts the song. 

“Damn, this sounds even better outside of the studio,” Mila says when the chorus hits. 

“You produced this, too?” Haechan shrieks, making everyone laugh.

Mila steals a piece of meat from where Jaemin is grilling and eats it. “Wa, Jaemin-ah, I love you,” she gushes. “Is it good?” Jaemin queries. “It’s fantastic. Haechan! Come try this!” Mila yells.

“Is the army stew good, Mila?” Mark asks, making sure that she has something to eat, with her being a picky eater and all. “Yeah, I’m not the biggest fan of army stew, but this is pretty good,” Mila smiles.

“Do you think I could shotgun this?” Mila asks Mark after they say “cheers” with their beers. Mark chokes on his drink before laughing loudly. 

“What?” Renjun asks the pair. 

“Nothing, nothing,” Mila waves him off while trying not to laugh. Mila then gets up and goes to the kitchen. “What are you making?” 

“Tomatoes and eggs,” Chenle responds. 

“Oh, I think I’ll just cook some plain eggs.”

“I’m making these for everyone, though?”

“Yeah, but I don’t like them.”

“You don’t like them,” Chenle says at the same time as Mila. 

“Is there another pan?” Mila asks. 

“Yeah, by the sink,” he replies. She then starts to whisk one egg in a bowl, making herself scrambled eggs. 

“Is it done?” Mark asks as Mila and Chenle come back outside together. 

“Yes,” Chenle answers. 

“Mila, what did you make?” Jeno asks. 

“Just plain scrambled eggs, I don’t like tomatoes with them.”

“The meat is good, Haechan,” Mila compliments. “It always is when I make it~,” Haechan responds.

She sings free love with Chenle and Renjun.

Mila doesn’t eat the pork belly that Jaemin made because she doesn’t like it.

“It’s just normal ramyeon, right?” Mila asks. “Yes,” Haechan replies. Mila puts some in her bowl, takes a bite, and smiles. “It’s good, Haechannie.”

“I’ll go if Mark goes,” Mila says next. 

“Jisung must not be coming,” Mark mumbles. 

“Come here, Jisung!” Haechan calls. Mila and Mark then disappear in the house to get changed. Mila comes out wearing the same thing, just with a real swimsuit underneath.

“How deep is it?” Mark asks once him and Mila come back outside. 

“It’s not that deep, perfect height for Mila,” Haechan teases. Mila rolls her eyes but laughs. 

“Will you get hurt if you dive?” Mark ignores him. 

“No. Don’t drop down super hard. Just be quite gentle. One, two, three. It’s really shallow, it comes up to about here,” Haechan says, showing him the height of the water on his body. Mark then jumps in the pool and Mila grimaces, knowing that the water is cold. Mila gets in the pool slowly, after Jeno because it’s so cold. But then Jeno comes over and she moves away from him to not get pulled in. But he grabs her hand and pulls her, making her go up to her chest in the water. She screams and flails her arms to get away from him. 

“Yah! Lee Jeno!” she screams. Mark, Haechan, Jeno and Renjun laugh really hard.

Then they start to play volleyball in the water. It’s Mark and Mila vs. Jeno. “Haechan, get in to make it fair,” Jeno says. Then Chenle comes back and gets in with Haechan. Teams turn into Haechan and Jeno vs. Mark, Mila and Chenle.

Mila plays volleyball the best out of everyone there, screaming at Haechan and Jeno occasionally and laughing at Chenle.

When Chenle tries to take a selfie with them, Mila is the first to get up next to him and pose, calling for the others.
