"So.. have you adjusted to the city life again?" Jimin asked, taking a sip from his cold drink. The fan blowing in the corner of the bar not doing much against the heat.

Yoongi hummed, glancing at him over the edge of his glass as he took a sip as well. Uncertain of how to answer such a banal but also difficult question. Had he?

"Not fully yet," he eventually sighed, deciding being honest with his friend. "And I guess the timing I picked doesn't make it easier."

It wasn't a secret that Yoongi didn't like temperatures above 25°C. Making him regret leaving the city at the end of winter instead of the beginning of summer.

"Aish, Yoongi, you're too dramatic," his younger friend laughed out, patting his shoulder over the table. "Summertime is the best time after all!"

"You only say that 'cause everyone's showing more skin with these temperatures.." Yoongi mumbled with a teasing smirk, causing Jimin to gasp.

"That's what you say." His eyes frantically looking around the place to make sure no one had heard him, continuing purposely in a louder tone then, "Remember, I'm not single anymore and soon becoming a dad. I'm not looking at other women anymore!"

"Save you breath," Arabella's voice suddenly rang from behind them, making Jimin tense up.  And he turned around with a wide, innocent smile. "Bella-baby!"

She cocked a brow at him before sitting dpwn next to him. Pushing him with her hips to scoot a bit further into the booth. "Sorry for taking longer. Everyone's out with that weather.." she groaned. She leaned over the cool tabletop then, spreading her arms over it since it was a nice contrast to the heat outside.

Jimin poked her tired face with slight concern. "Aw, love, should I get you something cool to drink?"

"Yes, please," she whined, pouting at Jimin who was pouting back at her.

"Alright, give me a sec."

And with that he immediately got up and headed to the bar counter.

 Arabella blinked an eye open then, smirking at Yoongi. "Aw, Yoongs, you must be dying right now," she giggled and sat up straight again. Pointing at the sweat beats on his forehead. He rolled his eyes, chuckling lightly . "A little."

"I know you'd prefer being on the mountains right now, but I'm actually glad you're back," she smiled at him before her brows knitted together. Taking a closer look on him. "Wait.."

"W-what?" he asked, puzzled about the sudden change in her demeanor.

"Your cheeks!" She reached over the table, pinching one of the said cheeks. Making him whine and gently slapping her hand away. "They're gone! Your chubby cheeks are gone!" She sunk back with a sulky expession and folded arms. "I liked your chubby cheeks. Didn't you eat enough in that temple you were staying at?"

His lips folded into a straight line. "I-I did."

"What did you?"

Jimin had returned, confused about what was going on that made his girlfriend look so upset. He sat a glass of cold ice tea in front of her before taking his previous seat. Sliding his arm around her shoulders.

"Ate enough. She thinks my cheeks aren't chubby anymore.." The older guy laughed under his breath, finding it somewhat ironic how much she cared about his eating habits. Who would have thought years back that a day like this would ever come. However, Yoongi's answer only confused Jimin more.

Arabella's pout grew as she glanced at him. "You need to eat more then, I want the chubby cheeks back."

"Bella, let the man eat as much as he wants," Jimin squeazed her shoulder with a giggle. He faced Yoongi then with an apologetic smile. "She suddenly wants to feed everyone and everything and gets obsessed with chubby things. I don't know where this comes from."

Well, he could think of a reason. But he thought those motherly insticts would only show up once she actually became a mother and not already during the pregnancy. Especially since the baby bump only now started showing up.

Yoongi waved his hand though, being actually amused by this side of Arabella. In the past she'd often tried to hide her caring side, acting indifferent and cool, so it was nice that she let her soft side out more now. Whether because of her hormones or because of her calmer life. She had changed and wasn't the cunning thief anymore who simply took advantage of his love-blind friend.

Yeah, he and Arabella got along much better now over the years.

So when Arabella and Jimin had decided to retire from thievery when finding out she was pregnant half a year ago, Yoongi and also Taehyung were more than supportive.

Especially since they weren't as young anymore as they'd been when first starting and besides, Taehyung wanted to finally settle down with Cassandra as well. And considering Yoongi hadn't started off as a thief from a young age like those two, only stumbling into that life when meeting them, he didn't mind much going back to only sword fighting.

Although one thing wasn't completely true: that Jimin and Arabella had completely retired from it.

"Oh, by the way," Yoongi said then, remembering something. A knowing smirk spreading over his features. "How was your weekend trip to the capital?"

Both Jimin and Arabella's heads shot up. Eyeing him suspiciously. "Who said we were there?"

Yoongi shrugged, folding his arms on the table and leaned over. "The news. What was it again this time? A golden necklace, if I remember correctly?"

"Shhh.." Arabella pressed a finger to her lips, looking around. Luckily the place was sparely visited during this hour.

Yoongi chuckled and sat back. "So it really was you two, huh?"

Jimin offered him a cocky grin. "You know.. people shouldn't underestimate a pregnant woman. Makes it even easier to distract and fool them."

Shaking his head, the older guy laughed under his breath. "Isn't it morally reprehensible to use a fetus for your steals?"

"Maybe, but I'm not gonna sit there for nine months and do nothing," Arabella huffed, giggling, "So it has to come along whether it wants to or not."

Perhaps it was easier for him and Taehyung to completely leave that life back since they hadn't been the actual thieves, rather the assistants. The real thieves had always been Jimin and Arabella.

"I mean, you do you," Yoongi shrugged, "I'm just glad you guys do well."

"Aww, that's so nice," Arabella cooed and pinched his cheek again. Earning another groan from him.

"Yoongi's always been the biggest softie among us," Jimin told her, grinning at the older guy then, "He just didn't like showing it so much. Isn't that right?"

"Yeah, whatever," Yoongi mumbled and hid his smile behind his glass, taking a larger gulp. The ice cubes having almost melted by now.

Jimin sighed then. "I'm still sorry I bailed on you guys last weekend for that heist though."

Yoongi shrugged, having already assured him it was fine since he was quite understanding in that aspect. "Seriously, it's alright. Me and Taehyung had a good time. And when he left, I sat a little longer, walked into someone I knew so we somewhat hung out together.. it's not like I was a total loner just because you couldn't make it and Taehyungie had to leave earlier."

He sat his glass down, puzzled to see his two friends staring at him with wide eyes. Making him frown. "What?"

"You met someone?"

His eyes grew wide at Jimin's question, only now registering his own words. "An.. acquaintance."

"And who is she?"

Yoongi swallowed, seeing both grinning at him now. "Who said it's a 'she'?"

"Your eyes sparkled a little when mentioning it." 

Jimin and his ability to analyse everyone and look right through them again. Practical in heists, unbelievably annoying in their friendship.

"Fine, yeah, it was a girl I helped out a week earlier," he shrugged, sounding as non-chalantly as possible since the two made a bigger deal out of it than it was, "I ran into her again last weekend and guess, helped her out again. That's it."

Jimin nodded, another question popping up in his mind. He restrained himself from asking it though. So it was even more surprising when Arabella said it out loud instead. "Is she hot?"

The two men looked at her astonished, causing her to frown puzzled. "What? I'm just curious 'cause he never gets involved with anyone. At least I've never seen him going out with anyone. That's why I assume she must be hot."

"First of all," Yoongi said then, coughing, "My private life is no one's business."

Arabella rolled her eyes at this.

"Second of all, we didn't go out. We randomly walked into each other." Well, technically he'd run after her, but those were just minor details they didn't have to know. "And third of all -" He paused abruptly, realising he didn't know hot to continue. However, there wasn't a reason to hold back and not simply admit it. "Yeah, she's hot. But that doesn't matter. I'd have helped her either way."

"I know for a fact that you would," Jimin nodded, knowing Yoongi long and well enough to know he'd have helped anyone. Not just hot women in need. "So when are you meeting her again?"

Yoongi slowly began getting fed up with this interrogation. "Guys!" he sharply said, interrupting them from proceeding with their questions with a short slam on the tabletop. "Yeah, I found her.. intriguing and I guess she also, I don't know, liked me. But she might've left the city by now so there's no point for you to fantasize."

The couple sank into their seats, seemingly disappointed hearing it, which only confused him more to why they were so invested in his private life. Then again, these two had always been the nosiest one of his friends. Maybe Cassandra also a little, sometimes at least.

He really missed Taehyung right now.

"But she might still be here right?" Arabella asked then, her face lightning up at the small hope, "Text or call her to find out."

Yoongi scoffed, arching a brow at her. "Really?"

"Yeah, obviously! It's been a few days, so it wouldn't seem clingy. Do it!"

Jimin shrugged, emptying his drink. "Bella's right, it could be worth a shot."

He couldn't argue with that and it'd be a lie if he said he hadn't already thought of texting her multiple times these past days. Still, he was contemplating whether doing so would be a good idea. Sure, they had all retired from thievery and tried living a normal life there - at least most of them - but that didn't change the fact that outside of Taiwan he was a wanted criminal. Uncertain if getting involved with anyone, even if it ended up as just a mere fling, would be a wise. Especially since she seemed to have her own issues going on. Issues bigger than herself.

"C'mon, what are you waiting for?"

He groaned annoyed, eventually giving into her pleads and took his phone out. Not expecting much when typing a simple text to her. Soyeon having most likely left town anyway.

yoongi (6:53pm): hey

He put the phone down again. Not expecting much to come out of this until his phone suddenly vibrated. Taking all three off-guard. Someone was calling him.

"Answer! What are you waiting for!"

"Uhm." He quickly grabbed it and stood up. Rushing outside to accept it.

"Hello?"

"Yoongi?"

His lips tucked into a smile when hearing her voice. "Hey."

He heard a relieved sigh on the other phone line then.

"I'm so sorry. I know you said if something happens I could call but.. I wasn't sure if you'd actually meant it and.. and.."

Her words made him instantly frown. And he noticed her distressed tone. Her voice shaky and also hushed, as if she tried not to be heard by anyone. His fingers tightening around the device as a hot flash spread inside him. "Soyeon, what happened? Where are you?"

She dragged a breath. "Okay, this might sound weird but.. I'm in the bathroom stall of a restaurant somewhere downtown, near the main square. But I don't know which one."

"You.. seriously?"

"Yeah.." she laughed out weakly, recognising the absurdity of the situation. "And I can't go out and have someone see me like this. So I'm kinda stuck here.."

"Okay, I'll come and pick you up."

She inhaled sharply. "Really?"

"Yeah, just might take some time to find you.." he chuckled and she couldn't help but smile at the sound of his laugh. Relieved that he didn't call her crazy and instantly hung up on her instead.

"I'll be waiting. It's not like I got anywhere else to go.."

"Good, just stay where you are."

He ended the call, looking up at the cloudless sky. He sighed.

Just what did she get herself into again?

"Soyeon?"

It was the fifth restaurant bathroom he checked out by now. He had gone to more, but most didn't have stalls, which limited the possible places. Walking into women's restrooms hadn't been a pleasant way to pass time. Only earning him weird looks and yells.

"Yeah?" he heard a voice squeak from behind a locked door and he exhaled. Finally having found her. 

He walked up to the stall and knocked. The clicking of the doorknob being turned echoing against the tiles. The door cracked open then, Soyeon peeking from behind it, covering half of her face. 

"Hey," she smiled awkwardly, "So you managed finding me after all."

"I said I would, didn't I?" Noticing her hesitating from coming out, his smile faded. "Is everything okay?"

"Uhm yeah, just.." Her lips folded with an insecure look. Making him frown. He lightly pushed the door then to see what was going on. His breath hitching. 

Her arms and hands were covered in scratches and grazes and there was an incised wound on her forehead, a thin trail of blood lining the side of her face.

"Soyeon, what the fck happened? You're bleeding."

"I'm not bleeding," she retorted casually, feeling suddenly small under his appalled stare. "It's just a small cut."

"Small? That definitely needs stitches."

She pressed her jaw together and looked away. She didn't like being vulnerable and weak. She didn't like asking others for help. However, there she was having this guy help her for a third time now. A guy she barely knew and found insanely attractive. Feeling embarrassed would be an understatement.

"It's okay, really. I can take care of that later," she said then, playing her insecurity off.  She couldn't go to the hospital with that and risk them asking questions and call the police. "I just need a way to get past the people outside in the restaurant. They'd probably freak and call the cops if they saw me like this."

"Maybe calling the cops wouldn't be a bad idea," he said, his brown eyes carrying deep concern. Making her swallow hard. Shaking her head, she tried playing it off with a laugh. "No, it's okay. Just help me get out, that's the last favour I'm gonna ask you today. I promise."

He huffed, finding her behaviour irrational, although somewhere understandable. His friends and him hadn't been much better in the past either. So he dragged a sigh, his expression softening. "How did you even get inside here in the first place?"

She pointed at the small window at the back. "I saw it being open when I ran into the back alley. But while hiding here, an employee came and locked it with a key, so I couldn't leave from there again."

He nodded understanding. "Alright, get back inside there and wait. I'll look for something to cover you up."

With a pout she waddled back into the stall, locking it behind her.

As promised, Yoongi returned not too long after. Holding a cardigan and a bucket hat he had bought from a shop near by. 

He put the hat on her head and lightly pulled it down, enough to cover the ugly cut. Soyeon blushed under the close proximity, even if it hadn't been the first time. He handed her the cardigan then and while she slid it over her body, he took some paper towels and wetted them at the sink. He turned around then, biting back a laugh at how adorable she looked in that big cardigan. Sleeves way too long for her arms, hanging losely. He coughed instead as it'd have been highly unfitting to laugh considering the situation. Still, she noticed. "What?"

"Nothing, you just look kinda cute," he shrugged, ignoring her widening eyes as he wiped the blood from the side of her face with the paper towel. He tossed it into the bin then, facing her again. "Ready?"

"Y-yes, I think so."

He grabbed her hand over the sleeve then and gently tucked her out of the restrooms. Peeking out at the restaurant first, making sure no one was looking at their direction.

The restaurant was quite crowded, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, Yoongi knew from experience. More people meant they'd stand out less and wouldn't receive much attention.

"Alright, avoid any eye-contact and just walk casually. Got it?"

She nodded quickly and they walked out into the filled space. Waiters rushing around, taking orders or serving tables. Guests arriving or leaving. Loud chatter filling the atmosphere. They passed by everything and in no time reached the entrance and stepped out. Breathing in the warm evening air.

They continued the same way outside as well. Casual walk, no eye-contact as he lrd her to his car a few blocks away. Still holding her hand firmly. As if he wanted to assure her that everything was alright. Only when he unlocked the vehicle, he let go of her. Leaving a tingling feeling on her skin. She followed him inside then, letting out a long breath. 

"Seriously, thank you so much. I owe you.. again." She pulled the hat off and lowered the sun visor, taking a better look on the cut in the small mirror, gasping lightly. It was much bigger than she thought. She hadn't even noticed the dryed blood along her temple. Traces of it still there as he had missed to clean everything. "I'll buy you all the drinks you want, I swear."

Yoongi didn't reply though. His eyes laying on her with lasting worry as she touched the wound, flinching. He shook his head then as an old memory crept back into his mind. And he started the engine, driving off. 

When they reached a red light, he stopped and reached for his phone in his pocket. Calling a number and waiting for the dial tone to end.

"Yeh." Taehyung's way of answering the phone making him almost laugh out.

"Hey, is Cas home?"

"Uhm, yeah why?"

"Can I talk to her for a second?" He side-eyed Soyeon, making sure she didn't suspect anything. He heard shuffling on the other end of the line and Taehyung's muffled voice. Being replaced by a soft female one seconds later. "Hey, what's up?"

He sighed. He really hated asking her for that favour, feeling like he'd take advantage of her. He didn't have much of a choice though. And besides, he knew Cassandra would most likely feel comically offended if he didn't come to her with this.

"I could need your skills. I know you aren't our personal doctor, but I got this.. friend, and she can't go to the hospital with that."

Soyeon's head instantly snapped at his direction when hearing that. "Yoongi, I said it's okay."

He ignored her, continuing speaking to Taehyung's wife.

"Oh, Yoongs, what happened?" Cassandra asked worried.

"It's nothing major, just.. a cut." The light turned green and he drove again. Hearing Cassandra sighing on the other phone line. "Yes, of course, bring them over and I'll take a look."

"Thank you, Cas. I owe you."

"You know exactly you don't," she giggled, "See you soon."

Yoongi ignored Soyeon's angry glare when he hung up. And she shook her head in disbelief.

"You don't need to worry for me."

"Well, but I do," he deadpanned, glancing at her briefly before focusing back on the road, "And you're being an idiot right now. This wound might get infected or leave a scar. It's better to let my friend take care of it, she's a doctor."

Her lips parted, staring at him speechlessly. Never had someone called her an idiot while being this concerned about her at the same time. Usually she'd have yelled at someone for patronising her like this. But she didn't this time. She simply sat back silently. Glancing at the cut in the side-mirror. Maybe he wasn't wrong after all.

"So.." he began then, carefully not to provoke her as his eyes were calmly laying on the road, "Will you tell me how you ended up with those grazes and cuts?"

She heaved a sigh, her eyes wandering outside at the passing buildings. "Guess you deserve an explanation."

"I think so, too."

"Long story short, these jerks showed up in front of my door and the only way to escape was to climb from my balcony to the neighbour's. They weren't home though, which was probably better as they'd have probably thought I was insane. But this led me to smash their glass door and.. yeah."

"Pretty adventurous."

She shrugged. "Call it survival instincts."

"And will you now also tell me why they're after you in the first place?" he smirked.

"Nope," she grinned mischieviously, making him raise a brow at her.

"No?"

"Mhm, maybe later."

He laughed dryly, shaking his head while turning to another street.

She was indeed quite a mystery.

aish actually changed his name before he met lay, but unknown to her talan still remembers him by his birth name, so when lay introduces him as aish, talan is like��“lay.... sweetie.......... did you fall on your head on the way here” and aish mouths to him to shut up right now because there are people around and he’s still incognito

[bonny-kookoo]

Your last drabble with jealous Y/N did something to my heart 🥺💔

Please do a Part 2 🥺🥺

Why is there so much lore now what- (still angsty as hell I'm not sorry)

---

"Huh?" You wonder when he drops the other end of the short rope back into your hands. You hold on to it before he pulls again- so you let go.

"Aish, hold on!" He laughs, playfully adjusting your grip on the rope again. "See?" He says when you hold on, letting him pull you over the smooth surface of the floor in the main area of the house, making Hoseok and Jimin laugh at the table. You can't help but laugh as well now, accidentally losing grip just to jump up and run after it.

Just as you jump after the makeshift toy, however, another being eagerly jumps after it - the young Doberman never turning down an invitation to play. Almost instantly, you stop playing, willingly giving it up for the young dog when Taehyung reacts in an unfamiliar way to you.

"Bam, no, down." He carefully scolds, panting puppy looking at him. "That's not yours." He tries to explain when your owner comes into view - your tail beginning to wag out of instinct.

"Y- ah, there." Jungkook says, slightly wet hair and clothes showing you that he probably only came inside because of the rain. "I was wondering where you went. Do you know where Bam's food is?" He asks, and you nod, playful mood by now completely gone as your tail lowers itself to fall limply, naturally curled position out of sight.

"I'll go feed him. Bami, come, " You call, and the puppy happily trails after you as you walk through the rain outside to the room you sleep in together with them.

Taehyung swallows any comment - instead, he sits down at the table with Hoseok and Jimin. "Jungkook, does she still sleep with a nightlight, or is she fine in the dark by now?" He wonders- catching the fellow singer as he has to think for a moment.

"Uh, I think she's cool with sleeping in the dark at this point, why?" He asks, and Taehyung shrugs.

"Just a question." He shrugs.

"You should've reminded her to get her blanket and pajamas from Jungkooks room on her way." Jimin sneakily says to Taehyung, who clicks his tongue.

"Ah, you're right. But we can get it later too- she doesn't seem too tired yet."

"Whoa whoa whoa-" Jungkook asks with furrowed brows. "What're you talking about?"

"Y/N will sleep with me for tonight. So Bam can have more space." Taehyung replies.

"Bam sleeps in his crate. She sleeps in the bed - there's no issue with space." He argues a bit irritated now.

"Yeah, but still. We want to make a small campfire tonight and maybe shoot some of those fireworks." The singer explains, sneaking some bits of food from Hoseok.

"She's scared of fireworks." Jungkook argues.

"Didn't she get over it during the wemvlay concert back in 2019?" Hoseok carefully says. "I remember you buying her that bear-sweater after." He says.

"But Bam is still scared of fireworks, no?" Jimin says, without looking away from his food. The singer has been getting upset at the sight of Jungkooks' behavior towards you for a while now. "Maybe you confused the two of them. They're both your puppies, after all."

"She's not a dog -" Jungkook cringes before he stops in his steps.

"Not a full dog." Taehyung sighs. "But there's a dog's soul in there. That's nothing demeaning, that's just how it is with her." He says.

"Why do I feel like you're scolding me?" Jungkook asks, arms crossed.

"Because we are." Hoseok now chimes in, putting his cutlery down. The rapper has a serious face, and it's clear to everyone that he's going to put his foot down now. "Jungkook, if you can't handle both of them you need to give one away-"

"I just got Bam, he just still need a bit of training-"

"The fact that you thought of him first says everything Jungkook." The dancer says sternly. "Where was she the entire day?" He asks, and Jungkook opens his mouth a few times, before looking down. "I hate that you forget that she's a big responsibility. She could've run off, gotten scared, hit by a car, gotten lost-"

"Hyung you're being dramatic-"

"Am I?" He now raises his voice before calming down. "You have no idea what she did or where she was today! And I have every right to assume that this has been happening for a while now!" He scolds, everyone quiet at his outburst. "We all stood behind you when you got her. We all supported you, helped you, because we saw that you loved her and that you put in effort to make things work out." He continues. "Taehyung, I appreciate your kindness. Please look after her for the last few nights we're here- Lets call up Jennie after we're done here so she can stay with her." He says.

"You can't decide that-"

"You forget that you chose me as her secondary guardian." Hoseok says, standing up. "And I told you that I would protect her."

"You can't take her away - I'm not a child, yes I may have not given her 100% attention, but my God, she understood because Bam was a baby and needed it most!" Jungkook angrily barks back now. "You all act as if she's a child that can't take care of herself when she clearly can!"

"No one doubts that." Jimin carefully says. "But she's also a hybrid at the end of the day. And she's hurting quietly, so you won't notice." He explains. "Yoongi found her crying today while you were playing with Bam, so Taehyung took care of her today instead of you. And that's fine if it's once or twice, but she's been like this for quite some time now, and it's upsetting that everyone noticed but you."

"I did notice-" Jungkook sighs.

"That just makes it worse." Jin complains quietly as he walks in, having overheard the commotion. "Jungkookie, let's just drop it for now. She'll go and spend some time with Jennie until you've cleared your head and made a decision on how to solve this. Right now, you're angry and emotional, and nothing proper will come from this- but I think we can agree that it can't stay like this." He explains. "It's dangerous and negligent."

Jungkook watches as you sit down next to his dog who's happily munching his food from the window, before he quietly speaks. "I'll have to give her away, don't I."

Jin sighs. "That's a decision you have to make all by yourself."

the aftermath of della's interview with lee youngji

"Ahh! 차린건 쥐뿔도 없지만!" Sunghoon clamped his hands together. [charingeon jwibbuldo eobjiman = lee youngji's drinking-interview-show]

"Wahh!" the members immediately cheered and clapped, saying things like 'it's really legendary'.

"Aish, seriously," Della scoffed with an embarrassed look. "Guys-"

"'This is so delicious! What is this?!'" Jungwon imitated.

"'THIS IS THE TYPE OF DRINK THAT I LIKE!'" Jay exclaimed, pretending to hold a glass.

"'Bye, unnie! Bye unnies and oppas!'" Sunoo waved around dramatically.

"'I'm not possessive of the members,' and then later says 'NO! THE MEMBERS ARE MINE!'" Heeseung came next.

"AH, SERIOUSLY!" Della threw her head back frustratingly.

"'I am a sophisticated lady,'" Niki straightened his back and put his legs together. Della sighed, hanging her head with a hand over her eyes.

"It was really legendary! I watched it so many times!" Jungwon clapped.

"And then we she returned home-" Jake cut himself off. All eight members laughed at the memory.

"Ya- seriously- it was not Della that day- she got replaced a few minutes after filming," Della whined. "The members really like watching that video, but I just want that interview deleted from existence and everyone's memory of it."

"It's so cute, though!" "It's a great interview!" "It's legendary!" Della threw her head back again.

"Seriously! I wish I just drank water and pretended to be drunk..."

❅◦❆◦❅◦❆◦❅◦❆◦❅◦❆

"I'M HOMEE!" Della screamed when she walked into Enha's dorm. "IT SMELLS SO GOOD! Is someone cooking?!"

"In the kitchen!" Heeseung yelled. "I wonder if she's drunk," he giggled to Jungwon and Jake.

"She's definitely drunk. She can't even handle a sip of beer," Jake shook his head.

"Wait- wait- I wanna record," Jungwon aimed his phone at the corridor. 

"OW! That hurt!" she lost her footing and bumped into a wall. "You guys have fooood?" she walked in while leaning against the wall, dragging her shoulder across the surface.

"We ordered bibimbap. How was the show?" Jungwon grinned.

"It was sooo fun! I love Youngji-unnie! I feel so free!" she switched her position, shifting her weight to her back. "I think it'll be the best interview ever!"

"Oh really?" Heeseung held back a laugh. "What did you drink?"

"Kahlua with milk and Bailey's and vodka- vodka was so delicious! I was so surprised!" her brain failed to realise (again) that the 'vodka' was water. "Or was it something else...? I think it wasn't vodka, but it was clear! It was so yummy; it didn't taste like alcohol!"

"Della's home?" Sunghoon and Sunoo left their room to join them. Jungwon stopped recording as soon as Della dramatically gasped when the two walked in.

"My darlings!" she rushed to give them a hug. "I missed you all so much! Doing a show all alone was sooooo hard!"

"Ya! Do you only miss those two?! There's seven of us, you know!" Jake complained.

"I like Kungyaz. They waited for me to come back so they can eat with me!" she leaned her head back to look at them with pouted lips. "You three ate without me!"

"They finished their food before us!" Heeyunwon protested together. "We're the ones who waited got you! They went back to their room!" Sunsun laughed and cheered at their 'win'.

"Ah really?! Then I take it back! I'm upset at you two!" Della stepped back in betrayal. "Ah give me a second. Why am I so dizzy?" she held onto the wall and squatted down.

"You're really really drunk, aren't you?" Sunghoon caressed the top of her head.

"No," her response was immediately met by the others saying 'you definitely are' and 'you're so drunk'. "No but- I'm confident that I can still remember everything by the morning so I am not drunk. I'm just tipsy."

"Just because you'll remember everything doesn't make you not drunk, Lala. You're full on drunk right now," Heeseung explained.

"YAA! WHERE IS EVERYONE?!" Della stood back up and silently counted the heads. "TWO MEMBERS ARE MISSING- WHERE ARE THEY?!"

"Who? Who is missing?" Sunoo giggled, trying to mess with her.

"The really tall one and the one with the sharp jawline," she joked to him back. "Am I right, the one with honey brown eyes?"

"YA! Did you forget our names?!" Sunoo raised his hand playfully.

"Of course not, Kim Sunoo of Enhypen from Gyeonggido! This one is Park Sunghoon of Enhypen from-" a hand was placed over her mouth before she can move on.

"Okay, darling, we get it. You still remember all your boyfriends," Jungwon pat her head to try to sober her up a bit. He doesn't know how it'll work but he'll do it anyway. "Someone get her water, please."

"Of course I remember all my boyfriends! I certainly remember that I have seven!" she pointed at everyone. "Aish- Kang Della, what are you doing? Snap out of it, snap out of it. Sober... now!" she patted her cheeks repeatedly. "Where's Jay-oppa and Riki?"

「ただいま!」Niki yelled just as the front door opened. "LALA! Are you still drunk?!" [tadaima = i'm home]

"No! I was never drunk!" she whined again before taking a sip of the water Jake gave her. "Mmm! This was the drink I was talking about! I guess it was water..." she pointed.

"You thought this was vodka?!" the members in the kitchen all laughed. Sunghoon, Sunoo and Heeseung laughed especially hard.

"It was in front of me! I didn't know what it was, it was just clear and tasted good!" 

"I think she's still very much drunk," Jay told Niki. "I guess she did actually drink a lot."

"My darlings!" Della squealed at the sight of the newly arrived members. "You're home! You're home! You're home!" she rushed to jump into their arms, similar to how she did with Sunoo and Sunghoon. "Our team is complete again!"

"Oh she definitely drank a lot," Sunghoon chuckled. "Looks like we didn't need those," he pointed to the shopping bag in Jay's hand.

"What is that-" Della immediately gasped at the bag's contents. "You planned to get me drunk?!" 

"Della- Lala- I think you need some rest, my love," Niki tried to hold back his laugh. "You must be tired. Do you wanna go to sleep?" yet another dramatic gasp from the girl.

"You wanna get rid of me?! After I worked so hard today without you guys?! I missed my members so much, do you not miss meee?" she whined. "Wait wait- my head is pounding again," she held onto Jay.

"Why don't we help you wash up and get unready?" Jay suggested. "Then you can decide what you wanna do."

"I wanna cuddle with all of youuuu," she started hanging from Jay's neck like a monkey. "I miss all of youuuu."

"That's gonna be a struggle, Lala. You need to choose one or two," Jungwon said. 

"But I don't wannaaa," she got up and switched to Niki. "I want seven!"

"Actually- maybe you should take a shower, babe," Jake patted her hair. "That should sober you up."

"Carry me!" she stretched one arm to Jake while the other stayed around Niki's neck. "I like showers. It makes you feel so fresh," suddenly she started giggling. "F-R-E-S and H, so fresh!"

"Let's go," Niki picked her up himself. "We've seen drunk Della, and now you need to chill."

"F-R-E-S AND H! 'TIL DEATH!" she yelled. "DOES NO ONE WANNA SHOWER WITH ME?!"

"SOBER UP, DELLA!"

[gwi-nam]

gwi-nam headcanons + story!

to be honest, i feel that gwi-nam is a troubled child at home. his need to validate himself infront of others probably came from a lack of security at home. he probably feels very insecure about loosing his eye because his appearance was the only thing he could feel confident about. he seems to be so traumatized and is hurting other people because of his insecurities. (headcanon)

Mirror (Yoon Gwi-Nam x Reader)

Waking up and not remembering anything happening the day previously might feel like shit. Especially figuring out one of your eyes been jabbed out. It did for a certain someone.

Groaning, Gwi-Nam adjusts his sight to the environment around him trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

"God what the hell, why do i feel so bad- WHAT THE FUCK-" he flinches towards the sight of a zombie hovering over him. "Please help me! Get away from me!" The zombie gnarls at him but doesn't try biting him at all. "What?" Confused he moves his arm again, not catching the attention of the zombie. He gets up from the table and slowly walks toward one of the shattered mirrors. Looking towards his reflection, he soon remembers what previously happened. Feelings of sadness and anger start pouring in, "What the fuck? Yah, Lee Cheongsan!" Blown like a fuse, he starts to run around the school searching every classroom for any trace of Cheongsan. He was going to get him no matter what.

Meanwhile.....

As Y/N hid inside the infirmary, arming themselves with a stick incase anyone were to enter. She looked outside the clinic to see Gwi-Nam bruised and bloodied, but more noticably he seemed fine. Actually he was running around the school not paying attention to any of the zombies past him. You sighed as you slightly opened the door calling his name out "Yah! Gwi-Nam! Come inside!"

He ignored your calls and proceeded to walk away. You cursed to yourself "Aish that stubborn idiot" You ran up to him and pulled his collar dragging him into the infirmary. He angrily shouted at you, "The hell are you doing?! Let go of me!" Ignoring him, you grabbed his chin taking a look at his face. "What happened to your eye? Are you alright?"

He shoved your hand off and tried to leave the infirmary, you blocked the door saying "Hey im not letting you leave like this! Let me clean your wounds first your hurt!" Pissed, but tired he obliged to your command. You sat him on one of the beds and proceeded to get the aid kit, brushing the hair off his face to get a close look making you make eye contact in the process. He whispered "Hey, dont look at me like that" you sighed saying "I need to look at your eye. There seems to be glass trapped inside and i need to clear it all out."

You began to take out the pieces and slowly but surely you got to clean his wounds. Even the one inflicted on his stomach.

You smiled saying, "There, now you're all good, hope you feel better after that hehe"

Gwi-Nam couldnt help but shy away from your gaze as you wrapped his wounds in bandages. He looked at you "Thank you Y/N, i really appreciate it."

Staring at eachother, you blushed and smiled at him, "No worries! I felt really worried seing you like that, i hated seing you hurt like that."

Gwi-Nam felt so cared for at that moment, as hesitant as he was, he gave you a hug thanking you for assisting him. It wasnt the fact that his wounds were cleaned, nor because they were bandaged, but you took the time to care for him which noone ever did.

He closed his eyes thinking about it. Linking your hands together he said to you "Let's go, i'll watch over you." It was now his turn to help you.

authors note !!

this is only my 2nd ff, please dont be rude in the comments thank u ☆☆

Kpop Dream Log 39: with BTS

September 4, 2022, Sunday

I can’t remember most of this dream, but what I remember is that @millie-ionaire05 and I were attending a small BTS event where they were going to have games and then a mini-concert. There were 3 sections in a U-shape 10 rows deep each with about 20 people per row. We were in the middle section about 6 rows back to the left. The guys were sitting facing the middle section and they had a blue sky background.

Something happens (technical difficulties) so they stand up to stretch. Some fans leave their seats and ask if they can take pics of the guys while we wait for the issues to be resolved. Staff protest that everyone return to their seats, but BTS tell us it’s ok. I want to go up, too, but @millie-ionaire05 doesn’t want to. I end up going by myself and head towards Jungkook. He was wearing white with some sort of small brown pattern. By the time I make it to the front, he’s walked away to the people on the other side. I’m too shy to call out to him, but I see that other members are free.

“Jin. Jimin,” I call out softly. 

Somehow they hear me and turn to face me and pose. I giggle nervously as I try to take a picture with my phone. I don’t know what happens but the pic doesn’t show up. I'm shaking and asking them to just wait one more moment as I reopen the camera feature. As I try again, I glance up to see Hobi has joined.

“Hoseok-ah!” I gush.

Now I’m really frazzled. I don’t even remember giving my name, but I hear Jin say it.

“Aish, Ingrid. You are slow poke, yeah?”

My face flushes even though I know he’s just teasing, but I’m stammering, “I’m sorry. I’m just so nervous.”

I take another shot and then the MC comes up to me telling me I have been selected to be part of the show. I’m trying to tell him no, but he tells me and this other girl to sit on these cushions to the side of where the boys were sitting.

The girl next to me is wearing a yellow shirt and dark brown shorts. She’s super excited at first. The MC leaves and comes back and hands each of us a little bag.

“A gift,” he says.

I open it to see it’s a miniature. Kinda like Polly Pocket, but it’s BTS. Mine has a little Mang character even though the outside of the box is pink. Inside the box is like a kitchen area and there are a bunch of miniature bottles, cans, dishes, food, etc. There is also a promo photo inside of BTS bedding that the host tells us we can pick up at the end of the show for free. I’m really liking my gift. I love things like this. So I look over at the girl to see she had gotten RJ and she doesn't look impressed. She is just not happy at all. Her whole demeanor changes after that.

The MC tells us the show is going to start any moment and asks my name. I tell him and he practices pronouncing it a few times before he asks the girl her name. 

She flat-out says, “I don’t have to tell you that.” She has this really bad attitude now. He says he just needs it so he can address her for the games. “No. I will not give you my name!”

The host and I just look at each other bewildered and then I wake up.

"Seo-Yul ah, get up now, we have to get you to school." I tried my very hardest to get this boy out of his pajamas and into his school uniform but his body was limp and not showing any effort at all.

"Aish, come on now. I promised to let you stay up later if you can get up in the morning. Seo-Yul ah." I whined as I got him to stand straight to get the sandwhich I made for him. I pushed it inside of his mouth and got his shoes on before realizing that I had to get ready too.

I ran into my room and straight to the closet, I threw on the first thing that gotten into my hands and got Seo-Yul by the hand to get out. I locked the door and threw Seo-Yul on my back to run to the school which was located about 10 minutes from here maybe 6 if I keep the same pace.

"Unnie, don't run so fast." Seo-Yul murmured on my shoulder. How the hell is this kid still half asleep?

I was keeping up the pace pretty well, I was kind of shocked when I hadn't gotten out of breath when we reached the school in time. I put my little brother down and put his uniform together to look a bit mote presentable. He shot me a big smile when I checked on his presence and gave me the rest of his sandwich.

"Yulli, have a good day and come home directly, do not talk to anyone." I gave him his lunch box and ruffled his hair. The school bell rang and he ran inside.

I looked at him getting to the door and then disappearing to his class room. When I noticed everyones attention on me. I looked down on myself and saw the old sweater with holes in them on me. Ugh, why out of all of clothes why did I have to wear this. I also noticed the glare of a girl who was standing about 6 meters away from me, her face was so prefect that I had to catch my breath for a second.

I shook my head, trying not to look like a total dumbass. I quickly walked into the direction of my apartment. But before I could walk off I heard someone shout "Hey! You!" and I quickly spun around to meet the face of the pretty girl.

"Are you Yullis sister?" She asked with a small smile on her face." I needed a second to catch my breath from that smile.

"Y-Yeah I'm his big sister." I smiled at her.

"I'm Cheol's sister. Kang Cheol."

"Oh really? I always see him at the playground and I play hide and seek with him and Yulli, He doesn't talk a lot though but Yulli likes him a lot." I chuckled at the memory of the small boy with the big eyes.

"Yeah he told me about it. That's really nice of you. He doesn't have a lot of friends." Her voice was very cold and melancholic, but still very comfortable to listen to.

"Would you like to get a coffee?" She asked with a straight face. I smiled automatically at her words and looked down to my feet when I remembered the fact that my hoodie has more holes than fabric.

"Yeah sure, but would you mind if I change my clothes, I was so in a hurry this morning." I laughed a bit and she still stared holes into my eyes. As if she were a reptile it was crazy how someone's eyes can affect me in a such a way. It was as looking at art.

"Do you live nearby?" She asked and started to walk in the same direction as I came from before.

"Yeah about 10 minutes from here. What's your name?" I asked trying to keep up her pace since she was about a good head taller than me. She looked at me and I could see an end from her mouth going upwards.

"Sae-Byeok, Kang Sae-byeok." She said still in her monotone voice. I formally bowed down and looked at her for a little more, looking at her features and unusual and unique face.

"I'm Y/N." I gave her a smile and continued to walk to my direction of my house. She instantly got to my left side to keep me on the safe side of the road.

We kept walking when we arrived to my house, it looked a little rough since my financial income has been basically nonexistent. Robberys and pickpocketing, frauds and stealing has been the only way to keep me and my little brother alive. Deep into my thoughts I automatically went inside.

I quickly grabbed my lucky shirt and placed it on the bed. When I noticed that Sae-Byeok wasn't anywhere, I looked around and saw her standing at the doorframe waiting for me patiently.

"Why won't you come inside?" I smiled at her and she gave me a quick nod before entering and quickly finding my messy room. Her eyes scanning the room and looking around, trying to find some sense in my mess.

I took off my hoodie and threw on my lucky shirt for a somehow more lucky day. My head racing again in my thoughts how to get to money soon. Pitying the people's pockets that I will steal. I hated taking money from innocent people but there was nothing else to do. No matter what job I have attended Dang-Su was always there and waiting for his money.

"Do you live alone with your brother?" Sae-Byeoks voice got me out of my thoughts.

"Our parents died during a robbery because of business regarding about money." I sighed.

"You're in dept?" She asked with her already big eyes growing a tiny bit bigger."Yes but I'll take care of it somehow." I said with a smile, but in reality I was scared to death. Dang-Sul was still after us and after so many years of fleeing I couldn't keep up with any of this. Taking care of my brother, somehow keeping the two of us alive and getting money. I shook my head trying to not let it get near me.

There was a silence in the room but after a while of trying to find my best shoes, she agreed to get some coffee with me and we headed out. Leaving this dump that I call home behind us.

We walked next to each other to the next Starbucks and got us a little treat. I was about to hand the cashier the money but Saebyeoks slim hands were faster and paid. The cashier giving her a warm smile.

"Hey, I can pay-" I intented to give her the money but she quickly closed her wallet and put it in her backpocket.

"I want to show you my gratitude for Cheol." She said flatly while searching for a good place to sit at.

My face went blank but I quickly got a smile out and bowed down to her. "No need to show me your gratitude, He's a good kid. A little shy but cute." I said remembering the boy with the big doe eyes.

Her expression not changing at all but her eyes showing a bit more warmth.

"Do you live guys live with your parents?" I asked her taking the first sip of my warm caramel macchiato.

Her eyes hardend once again and she took a small sip of her coffee.

"No, my mother is in the north and my father died trying to swim across the border." She said in a cold tone. I got goosebumps as I felt her pain.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry." I said in a low voice scanning her face for any sadness but it was as an ice sculpture, a facade that she hid behind. A facade that's what her coldness was.

"Me too." She said flatly.

"Excuse me, Ladies. Are you interessted in playing a game?" I heard a soothing male voice appear next to us. Standing in front of us a man in a suit with a grey briefcase.

"Piss off." Saebyeok said sharply.

"Trust me, we'll play a game of Ddakji and if you win i'll pay you." He opened the briefcase and revealed an insane amount of cash.

My mouth fell open and I looked at the money, Saebyeoks expression changed from uninterested to complete and utter disbelief.

The salesman just smirked and displayed two envelopes. One blue. One red.

"Are you both interessted?" He asked and gave us both a look of 'I know you both cannot say no to that".

"What if you win? What do you get out of that game?" Saebyeok asked still skeptical (as she should).

"You will simply pay me the exact amount of money back, or a simple slap." He said in a calm manner. His mischevious smile being a bit creepy

Saebyeok was about to chose the red envelope when I stopped her and chose the blue one, locking eyes with her.

"Trust me, I got this." I said confidently, knowing how to play this game perfectly.

The salesman looked at me and gestured with his hand to go first. "Ladies First." He purred.

He layed the red envelope on the floor and I threw the blue one instantly flipping the red one. He gave me big eyes and handed me the insane amount of cash.

"Well, in that case. You win. There are more games you could play, the both of you." He took out a business card with a square, a triangle and a circle on it. Behind it a number.

"I know you both have finacial problems. Kang Saebyeok, Y/N/L. Think about it, we don't have many places left." With that he went away, easily blending into the crowd.

Beautiful Eyes ~

Cold breeze pierced through her revealed skin as she sat down under the vast sky. Sports day is her least favourite day at school but today was different from any other year. She somehow gained interest towards the football match going on instead of focusing In her english literature book. Alot of student sat there as audience, & some were just roaming in groups outside the stadium. So many people around her & she still felt like she was in dark, sitting alone feeling awkward & having no hints of her classmates, how could she? she didn't even remember names of most of the students.

"Well, atleast the match looks fun." She mumbled under her mask. The more she watched the match, the more her interest grew, Now her focus was only on the boys kicking the & passing the ball by their feet. ther interest towards the match grew to the extent that she suddenly felt like learning the game. But how's she ever gonna? & from whom?

"Aish, why's everyone cheering for the other team?" she whispered to herself, shaking her feet continuosly, eyes wandering to everyone who'd got the ball. Her heart beat increasing to every goal the other team was scoring. The last goal was gonna decide the winner & she'd never been this anxious even in social gatherings. Well that would be a flat lie but at that time her hand was getting cold as ice from the pressure that the players were going from. And the audience wasn't helping at all for her.

The audience started chanting the other team's name as soon as their player scored a goal. And she just sat there wondering that why everything she supports goes in a negative path. She felt like a bummer, Thinking that she shouldn't have supported them knowing what her effect was. Chuckling at her stupid logic she got up not waiting for the ceremony the went straight into the school.

One hand inside her pocket & the second holding the strap of her bagpack, she walked through the empty hallways. Suddenly she heard feet running from behind but she didn't bother to look nor did she move from place & continued walking as she already was walking on the corner. The person behind her wouldn't probably run over her. As soon as she thought about that, she felt something too hard to be a human shoulder crash onto her back, landing her on the ground. And Maybe by the sound the other person too. She hissed in pain under her mask, attempting to look at the culprit.

And then that's it. So much probablity of any other student in the school but it had to be a player of the team she supported. And that too with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"I'm so sorry, I'm seriously so sorry!" He panicked watching her literally sprawled on the floor. He got up leaving his big bag, heavy as some rock.

Oh, so this is the thing which practially broke my shoulder, she thought & looked over his panick expression, giving her his hand as to make her stand.

But she would do anything than holding some boy's hand & make it a cliché moment. She stood up by herself by taking support of the ground & attempted to remove the dust from her uniform.

"Are you okay?" Concern written all over his sweaty face, he tilted his face a little to make an eye contact with someone who never made one. "Yeah" she said avoiding gaze even though her pelvic bones were crying out of pain.

"Aren't you the mask fishing one ?" He asked after giving it alot of thoughts. "Pardon?" She was literally in disbelief. Because First, he knew her & Second he called her mask fisher. When most of the students wear mask, Yeah even though she rarely takes it out, but it doesn't mean she does it for attention. To avoid everyone is what her motive was.

"I-i'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that, actually I don't know your name & everyone in school call you that so..." He explained, slightly embarrassed & guilty for what he said to her earlier.

Other than his cuteness, what more shocked her was that Everyone knows her? Now letting aside the name they gave her, she did feel kinda special. She'd been thinking that no one even knew her existence.

"It's okay." Was all she could take out of her mouth that time. They stood there awkwardly for a minute until the boy with beautiful eyes decided to break the silence.

"My name is Ren by the way." He smiled widely extending his hand to her. "Yuki." She replied under her mask accepting his handshake. It was the first time anyone had ask her name from her directly. The only time she told her name to someone in school was when she introduced herself infront of her class.

"Yuki??" He looked at her widening his eyes a little holding a question mark on his face. "Yes?" She asked confusingly.

"Aah, actually my sister name is also Yuki so i was just a little shocked." He answered while chuckling to himself. "Don't worry I'm not her." She joked making herself shocked at her own behaviour but smiled once noticed him giggling at her.

"Your team played well." She said as soon as she remembered about the match.

"Ah, yeah we did i guess. Thanks." He smiled at her and continued, "Which club are you in?"

"Literary club."

"Aah i see." She just nodded at him, holding the strap of her bag and the silence surrounded them once again.

Butterflies formed in her stomach when he patted her shoulder lightly. She glanced at the direction of his hand and then on the floor trying to focus on what he was saying.

"I'll go now, see you again Yuki."

See you again, Ren.

21st APRIL

Sitting on the edge of Jun-myeon’s desk, their case file open in her hands, Do-yeon - district attorney for West Seoul - was going over it with him when Baekhyun arrived.

"...and this Oh Sehun?"

"It doesn't seem like he- ah, Byun! Great. Do-yeon stopped by to get up to speed with your case. Come in, sit."

"Hi. Jun, did you talk to Sehun yet?"

"We were just talking about him. I was saying we don't think he's got anything to do with this, right?"

"Right. There's still some questions to sort out-"

"Like why he's got the nastiest attorney in Seoul..?", Do-yeon cut it.

"Like that", Baek-hyun agreed. "But Jun was gonna call him today, no..?"

"I will, Byun, don't worry."

"Make sure you don't let him off the hook just because Lee looks better right now", Do-yeon warned. "You never know how things might change, and I don't want to be left standing with half a case if this goes to trial. If you don't vet him properly it'll have "reasonable doubt" written all over it. And where are your colleagues, Byun? Dae and... what's the new guy…?"

"Jong-in. Kim. They're on their way."

A white lie, as Baek-hyun wasn't entirely sure they were; they didn't have to clock in for another thirty minutes. Do-yeon was as tough as nails and could be as prickly as a wool jumper when it came to securing a win, but it wasn't for nothing as she'd held the highest conviction rate in the city for the past four years.

"And Min-young's phone, what about that?"

"Eh… We haven't found it yet, but records don't indicate anything off."

"Hidden numbers, screened calls?"

"There was one, but we haven't been able to get a hold of the owner. I've got an officer trying every few hours, but I think it's a dead end…"

"Probably", Do-yeon said and stood up, putting on her coat. "Better to free them up for something else. What else do you have pending?"

"Geo-mapping for Sehun, well, everything Sehun really…"

"We still don't know why she cancelled on him", Jun-myeon pointed out. "If we can figure that out it might get us somewhere."

"Mm, if you get Sehun done and dusted, he might prove helpful." Pointing at Jun-myeon, Do-yeon added "I don't want you slacking off on this, Jun."

"Hey… I, psh… Why would you even…", Jun-myeon muttered with feigned indignation.

"And Jane? I saw she was mummified..?"

"Yeah, so not much to go on. We have a few items, but nothing identifiable, as of yesterday. Park's crew has a dog-marked object as well."

"Missing persons..?"

"I got a guy on it, he's sending it over to Byun."

"Let's see…", Do-yeon mused for a bit. "Young, neatly dressed… If you don't find anything, Byun, then call the networks. It's worth a shot. With the items found."

"So soon?", Baek-hyun asked, immediately regretting it.

"Not soon enough. At least two women, years apart..? Remember that, Byun. At least."

Fully agreeing with her, not at all meaning it the way it came out, he had to take her harsh tone without protest. Knowing Do-yeon knew Baek-hyun was as passionate about it as she was made it easier to swallow.

Escorting Do-yeon to the stairs, Baekhyun found Jong-dae limping upwards, waving a laptop in his hand.

"Jane Doe's", he said triumphantly, grimacing as his foot landed on the marble.

Opening her eyes wide Do-yeon turned to Baek-hyun:

"You have the victim's laptop and didn't tell me..?"

"Ah, no… He means all Jane's, with similar characteristics."

"Ah. What happened to your leg?"

"Aish, that jerk, Suny. I couldn't even get my foot into my shoes - if it's not better by tomorrow I'm suing him for making me wear this orthopaedic shit", he muttered, pointing aggressively towards his running shoes. "So, Ms. Do-yeon. Here to grind us down?"

"Or pull you up", she countered, well acquainted with Jong-dae's manners.

"Well? Do you think it's doable?"

"Tie up any loose ends, follow every lead, then yeah. And of course...catch him."

With that she was off, leaving the guys to their work.

¤

Sitting down, going through their stacks of files separately: Baek-hyun and Jong-in with missing persons and Jong-dae with Jane Doe's, the morning passed tediously.

Sighing loudly, Baek-hyun clasped his hands behind his head, stretching deep to look at the sky.

"Another cloudy day, another unsolved case… Anybody want a refill?"

"Yeah. Thanks."

"Want? Try need."

"Nothing on your end either, huh? I might as well bring the whole po-"

Stopping mid-sentence, Baek-hyun stared blankly with his mouth open before shouting:

"Clouds! Not the cloud, her bookmarks!"

Slowly realising what Baek-hyun was getting at, the other's opened their mouths as well - by that time he was already out the door, hurrying down the corridor. Not waiting for a response after knocking, he opened the door immediately.

"Hi. Moon, did you check to see if she had anything bookmarked on her computer?", he asked, scooting up to her on a chair - also before she could answer.

"Hm… You're talking about the one you brought in a few days ago?", she asked, gesturing to one of the shelves before getting up. "No, I haven't had time to do a deep dive yet, only-"

"Haven't had time? It's a murder case, Moon..!", Baek-hyun complained, not unlike he’d done with Chan-yeol.

"I know, but when a senior member of parliament is investigated for money laundering and defrauding public funds, what do you think takes precedence..?"

"Shit, you're on the Han case? But still, a serial tops that, Moon."

"Wha- serial? Since when?"

"Not officially, but we have two vics now. Doubt that's all."

"It's the first I'm hearing about it, I didn't get any additional electronics from your side."

"We didn't find any. A Jane."

A simple nod was her answer before she brought Min-young's laptop out of its evidence bag.

"I'll do you a quick one, Byun."

Not taking the hint he should give her some space, Baek-hyun sat almost shoulder-to-shoulder with her as she set it up and started looking.

"What am I searching for?"

"I just want to see the list. If she saved anything the week leading up to her being killed."

"Okay, then let's start...do you need glasses?"

"Why?"

"Because your head is practically in the screen..! Will you let me work?"

Raising his hands apologetically he leaned back in his chair, only to lean forward again, to Moon's sighing dismay.

"Oh, see. This page is the same as one she bookmarked", Moon pointed out, having moved on to check the web history.

"U snooze?", Baek-hyun wondered out loud.

"You snooze, you lose. It's a buy-sell site. Hm, let's see… Yeah, she seems to've been interested in this scarf..."

"Can you get the name of-"

"Oh, wait. She bought it...the sixteenth."

Interest piqued, Baek-hyun couldn't hold back.

"Can you get the name of the seller? Address? Number? Does it say if they were sent or picked up?"

"Wow, wow, slow down, Byun..! Let me work..!"

Having a look around on Min-young's page, she shook her head.

"She was supposed to pick it up, see here where it says PU not send?"

"M-hm. So they'd agree on when, where after the deal was done?"

"Exactly. But if they got to that it must've been over the phone, since there weren't any text messages about it. You find anything, like a note with an address at her house?"

"No… So she must've known the place she was going, right? And his name?"

"Their name", she said, putting emphasis on them not knowing if this was her killer. "Only a username. No bank account, postal address…"

"Course not…", Baek-hyun sighed under his breath. "Well, get me-"

"The IP-address so you can track the computer down..?", Moon smiled, amused that he would even ask.

"Yeah. Thanks, Moon. You’re the best."

“I bet you say that to all the girls, Byun.”

“But I only mean it when I say it to you.”

Staying with Moon for a while longer, Baek-hyun found out that the scarf put up for sale was from the brand Dior and had been a hot item ever since it came out a few weeks earlier and, more importantly, that the photos used in the ad were taken from another seller's account on a different website. Having the number for that person, Baek-hyun could easily call her and confirm the fact, which lent even more credibility to the ad on USnooze being a bait. The question as to why Min-young had been so secretive about it was still looming large, so he asked Jun-myeon to go over it with Sehun, which he promised to do.

¤

"A birthday gift…", Jun-myeon sighed, closing the door where they sat scouring case files again.

"For whom? Him?", Baek-hyun wondered.

"Yeah. At least that's what he thought."

"But… How can he be so sure? It was a woman's scarf, wasn't it?", Jong-in chimed in cautiously.

"There's no line between male and female in fashion, kiddo", Jong-dae stated, being the one out of them with the most flair. "I borrow my wife's accessories sometimes."

Of course he does, Baek-hyun smiled to himself.

"It seems he'd talked about it a lot", Jun-myeon continued. "But he never meant for her to buy it. He said she'd always go the extra mile for her friends. I guess I don't have to tell you how guilty he feels…"

"But if he has a type, how would he know he'd get the right buyer? Someone who matches?", Jong-in thought aloud, saying much what Baek-hyun was thinking.

"Hm...Do you have a picture of it?"

With a few clicks Baek-hyun put it up on the big screen for Jong-dae to see. He immediately figured it out.

"Ah, it's this one… See how there are no crazy colours or patterns, just black and white and the logo? People who buy this don't want to stand out - but they are polished. Classic."

Impressed by Jong-dae's quick wit, Baek-hyun asked himself if Soo-man was as clever and came to the scary conclusion that he probably was.

"He's right, Jun. We saw this with the attempt on Aiko, pretending to be injured..? He knows people. How they are. Fuck..."

"So what about Kim Min-seok, boss?", Jong-in cut in. "Did he say why, how, he knows him?"

Sighing, Jun-myeon shook his head, folding his arms.

"His exact words were: I want to help you, but Mr. Kim told me to not tell you anything without him here."

"But he already told you about the scarf..!", Jong-dae burst out, annoyed.

"I guess it pertained to him being a suspect. I don't know. Said he was afraid you and you, Byun, would try to pin it on him somehow."

"Pin i-! You just told him we had a lead and he thinks we're out to get him!?"

"Take it easy, Jong-dae", Baek-hyun said, sounding more calm than he was.

"He said to ask Min-seok about it. If he tells us, that's okay."

That was one mention of that name too much for Baek-hyun as well, who, standing up in a rush, put his hands out.

"Ask Min-seok!? Does he have Sehun under some spell..! Ask-" Cutting his sentence short, he swung open the door and yelled out in the office:

"Nina, get Kim Min-seok on the phone now If he doesn't want to, call his secretary every fucking minute until he does!"

"Settle down, Byun. Stop shouting", Jun-myeon tutted.

Seething - but knowing it wouldn't make the situation better - he ran his hands through his hair, took a deep breath and exhaled vociferously, cursing as he did.

Seeing the atmosphere needed some tending to, Jong-dae continued the conversation in a more productive way.

"So, that's where we are with Oh. Sounds like he'll be cleared in a day or two? Unless something unexpected pops up from the swabs from the search."

Following his lead, Jong-in agreed:

"It sounds like it. It'll be better if we can focus on Soo-man."

"Just don't get tunnel vision", Jun-myeon cautioned them. "And get lunch."

¤

Sitting down in the precinct cafeteria after working for another two hours, they decided not to talk about the case over food, but instead managed to enjoy a bit of banter and storytelling about each other's daily lives - even if Baek-hyun was keeping track of time to intercept Min-seok going to court per his schedule. Seeing the Jong's get along so well, comparing baby and partner events, made Baek-hyun delighted, considering the foot they came off on - him and Jong-dae as well, actually.

"...and I watch her dog some- hold on."

A quick look at his phone told him it was Moon calling, so he answered without delay; a few "okays" later, he hung up and started gathering his empty containers.

"Moon. She's sending over the address for the computer."

"Weren't you going to see Min-seok?", Jong-in raised his brow.

"It's just ten minutes away", Baek-hyun answered, getting up. "Planet, an internet café."

"Ten minutes there and who knows how long it'll take? Give Jong-in the address, he'll go", Jong-dae cut in.

"I don't… I think I should."

"You can't do both. The mark of a strong leader is he knows when to delegate", Jong-in insisted before becoming shy about quoting the manual. "If you send me the address. I'll go right away."

Tapping the table with his knuckle he thought about it and had to admit defeat.

"You're right."

¤

"Hello, what will it be?", the cashier jovially greeted Jong-in when he came up to the counter.

Showing his ID he smiled.

"I need to see the manager."

"Oh… Okay. Just a minute."

Flustered and nervous, she went to the back area and in a hushed voice announced Jong-in's request. It wasn't long until the manager came out, followed by the cashier's timid gaze.

Having called ahead, Jong-in's visit was no surprise, so he was greeted amiably before being escorted to her office.

"I guess you can't tell me what this is regarding?", she tried, understandably curious.

"I'm afraid not, ma'am… Do you keep track of all the computers from here?"

"Not keep track per se, but if there's an issue I can survey them."

"You don't have a separate technician for that? This place is so big, you've got to have hundreds of users..?"

"I am the tech. One of them. I don't do daily maintenance, but I check on things. Gotta keep myself in the loop, so to speak", she smiled. "So… Do you have the IP number and date?"

"Oh, sorry, of course. It's one, three, five, dot, six…"

¤

Waiting in the garage - hoping Min-seok was driving himself, not having a driver waiting upfront - Baek-hyun's mood had already rollercoastered several times, but he was determined to keep a cool head the entire conversation. It would only benefit the case if they could officially write Sehun off as a suspect and focus on the glaringly obvious and the lesser known truths.

The ping of the elevator introduced the man of the hour; in his neatly pressed, anthracite suit - pinstripes to mark the occasion - and perfectly laid hair, there was no doubt Min-seok was out for blood. He didn't even flinch when Baek-hyun called his name, merely looked surprised and irritated.

"Oh, you're really starting to bore me, detective…"

"You should've taken my calls."

Not bothering to look at him as he spoke, he continued walking to his car.

"Is this about Oh Sehun?"

"Dingdingding", Baek-hyun sounded out, like a game show bell. "It's important."

"I'm willing to bet it's not…"

"Can you tell me how you know each other? We spoke to him earl-"

Letting out a scornful, light, laugh, Min-seok cut him off:

"You spoke to my client without his lawyer present? Ay, ay, ay, Byun… Expect a complaint on your desk to-"

"It wasn't me, it was Jun-myeon. He called to apologise, not interrogate him."

"Doesn't matter…", Min-seok mused melodically.

"Listen to me!", Baek-hyun shouted, his patience wearing thin. It caught Min-seok's attention, who stopped to look at him.

"We've found some things that might clear him altogether, we're just wondering why he'd be associated with...you. He said it's okay if you tell us."

"You expect me to believe that..?"

"It's true, but either way, what does it matter? You're not breaking confidentiality, Minseok…"

"Mr. Kim..?"

"Mr. Kim…", Baek-hyun smiled, biting the inside of his cheek. "Just tell us. If the case doesn't have anything to do with him, which is becoming more likely by the hour, isn't that a good thing? He's not your type anyway. The case isn't your type..!"

"Ah...Byun… His brother and I went to school together."

"But that was years ago. We already know that."

"Then why did you come all the way down here to ask?"

Taken aback by the simplicity of it all as well as Min-seok's ever-annoying demeanour, he paused for a moment before bursting out:

"Because you made it seem like a big secret..!"

"No, you did", Min-seok chuckled and got into his car.

"Is that it? Is that really all? Why would he call you after- you're not friends."

"Maybe I was the first guy who came to mind when he found out his brother was getting pinned for murder…"

"We weren't trying to- Why'd you say yes? He's got no money, no connections…"

"Honestly… When I heard your name, how could I not? To see the look on your face when I showed up?", Min-seok smirked and turned the ignition.

"Don't you ever get tired of yourself?", Baek-hyun sighed with loathing.

Adjusting the rear view mirror, Min-seok was as unfazed as ever.

"Sure… That's why I sleep at night. Now chop, chop. Let me close the door so I can continue God's work, will you? And give detective Kim a kiss from me."

As disgusted as Baek-hyun was with his comment there was no way he'd divulge it to Jong-dae - he'd have a fit about it for a week.

¤

"...so let's see who was on there at two…", the manager murmured to herself, scrolling down the log of the computer Jong-in had given her. "Hm… Kwon Seung-woo."

Deflated and perplexed, Jong-in shook his head.

"Are you sure? The sixteenth? Two in the afternoon?"

"Yes, I'm sure, see…", she reiterated, and clicked the link on the name.

"Wait, do all the ID's show photos?"

"M-hm. They're not all real ID's, from the government, some are made here just for the internet."

"So the names could be fake?"

"Comes with the territory. But since we have locks, fire walls, on all of them, creeps can't get anywhere they're not supposed to, if you take my meaning… We take photos so that if something were to go wrong at least we have that."

"Could it be that the server got the IP's wrong somehow, sent out info from the wrong computer..?"

Smiling, as tech savvy people do at non savvies when they say something outlandish, she shook her head no.

"I don't underst- Wait! Would you scroll up a bit, see if any one is around thirty? 'Cus if I set a timer on something, like a posting schedule, the server would still read it as two, right?"

"You mean if I set a webpage to post something at two, the information would read like something happened at two, instead of when I set it at...say ten? Absolutely. Let me…"

"There!", Jong-in shouted, unable to keep his excitement. "At nine. Lee Seung-min."

The name and date of birth might've been fudged, but the face he knew in an instant.

"Get me a print-out of that page. And if you can see what websites he visited." Remembering himself, he stuttered, embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I mean, could you please-"

Waving her hand, in so saying it was okay, she raised her brows at him:

"Wouldn't you rather have it on a USB-stick..?"

¤

Joining the guys in the middle of a briefing by Chan-yeol, Jong-in nodded faintly and sat down next to Baek-hyun, who whispered quietly:

"The blood in the shed is Jane's. Saliva too. Good work at the cafe, Jong-in. Really good."

Putting his hand up, stopping Chan-yeol mid-sentence, he had to still his curiosity:

"How did you get the DNA from Jane?"

Smiling, always excited to talk about his work, Chan-yeol explained that Doh was able to get mitochondrial DNA from her teeth and after sequencing they had enough to work with.

"...so it was easy to match with, once Jung found a stain that hadn't been corrupted by bleach. It was a tiny speck, so thank her when you see her", he implored.

"Wow...that's cool", Jong-in sighed, impressed.

Chan-yeol shined like the sun at this, making Jong-dae cluck.

"Eh, what else… Well, there's still nothing specific found on her items, and the swab for vermillion is still being processed. But with the finds in the shed you should be able to tie him to it nonetheless."

"M-hm. But it'd be a nice way to tie them together", Jun-myeon added. "Anyhow, great work, Park. Keep us updated. Jong-in..?"

Collecting his papers and pad, Chan-yeol left the room with a little fist of his hand.

"Fighting."

Going over what happened at café Planet, showing them the information he got from the manager everybody's spirit's were lifted.

"The picture, the ad on USnooze, data from Planet… it's beyond reasonable doubt", Jong-dae nodded. "When we get him, we've got him."

"So Sehun..?", Jong-in, who'd missed that part of the briefing, wondered.

Jun-myeon made a thumbs up and excused himself as well, saying he'd give Do-yeon a quick update.

"Yeah, Sehun is… Especially with this", Baek-hyun told him.

"So how did he know him?"

"Like you said, from school."

"Really?"

"Really…", Baek-hyun chuckled.

"Jong-dae, did you get anywhere with missing or Jane's?"

"Ah, waee! Just because I don't have anything new doesn't mean I haven't been working in here..!"

"Didn't you say something about you doing the real work in the field the other day..?", Baek-hyun joked and Jong-in chimed in.

"Yeah… I think I remember that…When we were going over the video from Suny..?"

¤

Having nothing much to do but try to figure out where Soo-man could be, that's what they spent their time doing; trying his aliases from USnooze and Planet café against other buy-sell websites, searching their databases for the name Lee Seung-min in connection to anything, trying to figure out where he could work, who his friends were.

"He has to be somewhere..!", Jong-dae burst out in a loud sigh.

"You know how ghosts are", Baek-hyun sighed. "Cash-in-hand employment, probably in some not wholly legal place...and now he's probably hiding out in a motel of the same kind."

"I know, but even his neighbours knew nothing. No-thing, zip, zilch. He's lived there for decades and they can't tell us one thing about him..! I… Are you guys doing anything important tonight? I think we should start knocking on the motel doors."

"Me too. How's your girlfriend doing, Jong-in?"

"My girlf- oh..! It was just a morning bug- not pregnancy!", he was quick to add when he saw the look on Baek-hyun's face.

"Wait, wow, you're having another kid..!"

"No, Jong-dae..! She was just sick in the morning", Jong-in tried, to the amusement of the others. "I just have to call and tell her I'll be home late."

"Yeah, me too. What..? My wife's Russian, d'you know what would happen to me if I didn't call home..!"

Sticking his head in the door, Jun-myeon looked serious:

"Yixing just called. Head over to Soo-man's house."

"Why?"

"Said he found something on the floor plan."

"What about the surveillance? Is he there already?"

"He's going. You, go. And bring Park."

If Jun-myeon was this short it meant Yixing must think he was on to something, so Baek-hyun's adrenaline was up in an instant.

"Yixing rarely goes back to a scene. Come on, guys. You get Chan-yeol, Jong-dae."

¤

"So, how are you doing with everything?", Baek-hyun asked Jong-in, whom he asked to ride with him specifically to check in. "You got thrown in the fire right off the bat."

"I pff… I can't believe it's only been…"

"Five days."

"Yeah. It feels more like two weeks. Even when I'm home I think, worry, about it. What did I miss, what can I do tomorrow, did I do my best today…"

"Don't be too hard on yourself, Jong-in. You have to leave it at the door, otherwise it'll ruin the precious things you've got, you understand?"

"I know. I guess I'll learn to. This is a new level for me so… How long did it take you?"

"Eh...phew…", Baek-hyun sighed loudly while turning the corner into Blue Meadow. "Still waiting for it, I guess. No, of course I think about certain things, but when you can't do anything more that day that's when you have to say see ya tomorrow. You sleeping alright?"

"I was surprised - I've slept like a baby. And Hye-Jin is my comfort, when I'm next to her, I-"

Cutting himself off, Jong-in looked embarrassed, as if he'd said too much.

"Hey, I may be single, but I'm not a virgin, Jong-in…"

"Ah...yes. You know what I mean." Saved from the awkward moment, he pointed at the steps to Soo-man's house. "There's Yixing."

¤

"Where's Park?"

"Hello to you too. Jong-dae grabbed him, they'll be here in a minute."

"Sorry. I'm just itching to see what's going on in there", Yixing excused his poor manners.

"Yeah, what is going on? Junnie said you found something..?"

Not waiting for the rest of the guys, Yixing opened the door and let Baek-hyun and Jong-in in.

"Yeah. Ever since we did the search I haven't been able to shake the feeling that something was off, like I was moving more than I should've."

"In plain English..?", Baek-hyun asked, turning on his flashlight.

"Should I take my weapon out..?", Jong-in whispered as they went up, but Baek-hyun shook his head.

Stopping by the wall closest to the main bedroom, Yixing took out a measuring tape and pulled it across.

"Yep. See…", he said and hauled up his phone. "According to the plan this wall should be thirty-five centimetres - it's almost a metre. It was nagging me all day, how unnatural it felt, that's why I took a second look."

"Why didn't you notice this the first time?"

"Because I was busy looking for a murderer, keeping my men - and yours - safe", Yixing retorted before putting his flashlight to his face. "Do I look like an interior designer, Byun?"

"Calm down, Zhang. Point taken. I don't see anything weird about it though…", Baek-hyun mused, going over it with his own light. "I mean, the hallway is a different colour than the rest, but-"

"There!", Jong-in suddenly burst out.

"I'm not going first, Jong-dae", Park's apprehensive voice sounded from downstairs.

Wiggling his light, Baek-hyun called out to them to them:

"Up here. We might have something."

Feeling calmer after hearing his voice, Chan-yeol came up first anyway, bag in hand.

"What is it?"

"Isn't this something?", Jong-in said, pointing out a small anomaly in the otherwise smooth surface. "And if this is where the wall should stop…"

A short shout from Jong-dae meant he understood as well.

"Did you check inside?'

"No, we just got here", Baek-hyun shook his head. "Let's give Chan-yeol some space, let him go first."

When Chan-yeol put his gloves on, the squeaking sound made Baek-hyun both excited and fearful, as if it was a signal he was about to receive knowledge he'd in some ways rather not have. After taking a few photos, Chan-yeol moved on to faintly knocking on the - believed to be - different sides, and it was obvious that they were made of different textures. Frowning, he mumbled to himself.

"How could we miss this…"

"It's almost identical, any-"

Chan-yeol put his hand up to quiet Jong-dae, then moved on to the bedroom; a few snaps with his camera and he was ready.

"I've got some extra gloves in my bag, and masks."

Even if Jong-in had wanted them, there was no discussion - Baek-hyun and Jong-dae stepped forward and got ready. Standing back, Jong-in and Yixing assisted with the lighting in the ever darkening room as the guys meticulously searched for a tell-tale sign of an opening.

¤

"I don't get it, what is this?", Chan-yeol sighed. "It's clearly a newer wall, but for what? Maybe there's a reason, structure wise..?"

Equally puzzled, but certain the devil's work lay behind the add-on, Baek-hyun crouched down tiredly.

"Not one I can think of…"

"Can't we just bust it down?"

"You want to explain taking that course of action to Do-yeon, Jong-dae? We don't know what's behind. If there's-"

Spotting tiny flecks of wood on the floor next to the doorcase, Baek-hyun moved closer and gave it a tug.

"What is it..?", curious voices asked.

Biting down on his flashlight, he gripped the case with both hands and pulled harder, stumbling backwards when the whole thing came loose.

There was a moment of silent disbelief - where the angles met there were half a dozen locks.

"Jesus Christ...", Jong-dae whispered, jolting everyone out of their initial shock. "The dent in the hallway is the door…"

"I've got bolt cutters in my car, hold on", Yixing said before hurrying down the steps.

"What if someone's in there?"

"I hope not, Jong-in. I really hope not. Chan-yeol, you-", Baek-hyun started, but saw that he was already waiting on people at the lab to pick up the phone.

"You think he might be a builder, carpenter? They often get paid off the books", Jong-dae wondered, inspecting the part of the doorcase Baek-hyun had just ripped off.

"You can learn that on the internet, they have videos on everything", Jong-in cut in.

"He's right. But the fact that he hid it suggests he knows someone, or that there's some chance, however small, that someone might visit him. Or what do you think, guys?'

The answers to that question were put to the side when Yixing came back, his hair drenched in water.

"It's raining cats and dogs out there… Who's gonna..?"

"You're the strongest one, go ahead."

Everyone agreeing there was probably nothing harmful inside, they still decided a weaponized approach was the best idea, so when Yixing opened the door Baek-hyun had the first look inside, shining his light in every corner before relaxing and moving back.

"Okay- oh, fuck!", he burst out, astonished by the suddenly overwhelming odour rolling out from the space.

Hearing the rest of the guys' reactions he lodged his nose in the crook of his arm - he had to take a second look, be sure there wasn't a body in there.

"No, it's clear…"

Seeing a mattress as well as a big red bucket in the far corner, it wasn't much of a guessing game as to what was causing the smell, nor what had happened in there.

"Right under their fucking noses…", Jong-dae sighed, giving voice to Baek-hyun's feeling.

"Oh. Let's step back, guys", Chan-yeol suddenly cautioned. "It looks like he took the original wall down, there's the skeleton. Must be where the toxins came from…"

Seeing the worried look on Jong-in's face he explained that it wouldn't harm them - or their kids - standing outside like this.

"But I need to wait for the floodlights, so let's close the door. Are you sticking around?"

"Of course..!"

"We were working late anyway."

"Yixing… If you hadn't gone with your gut, who knows how long this would've been kept secret? No, Park, I'm not chastising you. Me, Jong-in, Jong-dae, we're all cops and we missed it too. Why don't you call it a day?"

"I'll go when the crew gets here, if that's alright, Park? I'm just curious."

"And you don't have an umbrella…", Baek-hyun joked to lighten the mood with a laugh, however faint.

¤

Waiting for the forensic team to arrive, they threw more questions than answers around, realizing one scenario was worse than the next.

"...so he had Jane up here, but killed her in the shed? Why? And why wasn't Min-young brought back here?"

"...maybe the plan backfired somehow?"

"...but could it be our Jane who was there last? Wouldn't he have cleaned up...at least the…"

Standing closest to him, Yixing noticed Jong-in snapping his fingers where he stood by the window.

"Byun…"

Looking Jong-in's way, Baek-hyun saw it too; rushed, he kept snapping them for attention. When he got it he nodded almost indistinguishably towards the window. With everyone going quiet Baek-hyun could hear his own heartbeat as he crawled up to the wall.

"What?"

"I saw something. In the bushes, right by the fence…", Jong-in whispered back, his voice shaking.

Peering into the dark, Baek-hyun couldn't see a thing, only heavy rain and dark leaves, the occasional gust of wind making the faint yellow light from the street glimmer on them.

"It's probably just the trees…or a deer..."

"No, I really think I saw something."

"Turn off your lights, guys."

As soon as they did, Baek-hyun saw it too. A reaction to the change inside the room, some exposed part of the body, a hand maybe, must've moved.

"Shit, he's right… He's sitting next to a tree right beside- fuck! Yi, stay with Chan!", Baek-hyun shouted as he shot out of the room like an arrow. "Jong-in!"

Jumping into the car he got it out of the driveway just in time for Jong-in to hop in before speeding off.

"Over the street!"

The wipers were working as hard as they could, but the rain beating down was relentless, drizzling down the window as if it was being poured.

"Central to...shit, what's your number?", Jong-in asked, adrenaline rushing through his brain.

"5-6, 5-6!"

"5-6 to Central, we're in pur-"

"This is Central."

"We're in pursuit of a suspect, send backup to-"

"He's going to the residential area…"

"- to Blue Meadow residential, going north!", Baek-hyun cut in.

"Copy. Is the suspect in a vehicle or on foot?"

"On foot!"

"Suspect is on foot. Armed?"

"Maybe."

The radio in Baek-hyun's car sounded out the alarm Jong-in just called in:

"All police vehicles in the area, police in pursuit of suspect near Blue Meadow. Be advised, subject should be considered armed and dangerous."

Not wanting to risk being trapped on a tight road or behind cars, Baek-hyun took the road just outside the area, trying to figure out where he would most likely come out.

"Where are you? Do you have eyes on him?", Jong-dae's voice sounded over the radio. "I took the east road."

"He's somewhere in the high rise area, we're on west. Baek-hyun, stop! There!"

Coming to a screeching halt, Baek-hyun saw a faint dark figure cutting through a playground. Before he knew it, Jong-in was out as well, yelling for the figure to stop.

"He's running northeast! I think he's going for the bridge!", he shouted through the radio.

Jong-in was fit, but being caught off guard had already left them at a disadvantage; add the rain to it and it made it all the worse. As if in a dream, he was running faster than he could, never missing a step or getting out of breath, jumping over fences to land on slippery grass but staying up, the street lights going over his head as if he was still in the car.

Seeing the water ahead between the last building he knew Baek-hyun or Jong-dae would have to be there. There was no way he could go on forever if Soo-man got across the bridge, and it was too small for vehicles.

"He's coming out by the red house!"

"Where?", Baek-hyun asked, ready to jump out as he could see the bridge.

"The red! I'll try to intercept...coming out by blue!", Jong-in shouted, slightly changing his direction.

Baek-hyun had only just heard his instructions when Soo-man darted out between the buildings, making a sharp turn to continue up. Not even closing the door, he started running after him, the rain having him drenched in a matter of seconds.

"Stop! Police!", he screamed as loudly as he could, but the smattering of water against metal, against glass - against everything - drowned his voice. "Police..!", he tried again, but knew full well this suspect wasn't stopping for anyone even if he could hear it.

Coming to a stand still, Baek-hyun pulled out his gun; water blurring his sight, Soo-man was still clear enough for him to take the shot, so he did. Taking a step forward, he slowly realized the man lying on the ground wasn't Soo-man - it was Jong-in, he'd come out between the houses in front of him.

Calling his name in disbelief, Baek-hyun threw himself on the ground next to him, tearing off his jacket to press over his chest. Spasming, a look of surprise on his face, Baek-hyun could hear Jong-in's throat was full of blood and got it confirmed when he coughed; the dark liquid being washed down his neck out onto the yellow-lit pavement.

"5-6 to Central, police shot", he yelled over the radio. "I repeat, police down! Send assistance!"

The piercing screech of Jong-dae's tires didn't even register with him as he continued to talk to Jong-in.

"Help is on the way, hang in there. You'll be alright, kiddo. You'll be alright…", the terror in Jong-in's eyes mirroring the one in Baek-hyun's heart.

Can I have an nct yandere reaction to the members having a s/o who is quite shy and quiet but she becomes more open up to people when they get to know them. But their s/o is finding it hard to be less shy around them since they're lowkey scared of them... Sorry if this doesn't make sense, thx u 💕

—————————————————————————-

Sorry this took soooooo long. 

~Ahreum Rhea

Warrning this contains Yandere themes. Read at your own risk.

—————————————————————————-

Taeyong: His reaction depends on how long he’s had you. If it’s in the beginning, he wouldn’t mind and would love that you don’t open up so easily to others. However, if he’s had you for a while, he’ll get irritated and impatient. Don’t get him wrong, he loves talking to his s/o, but he’ll never show how much because he doesn’t want your fear to completely subside. He can’t have you thinking that you have any power in his house.

“I appreciate the fear you have for me, but you should know me enough by now. Come here, kitten pats his knee and talk to me. You have more to fear by staying quiet than by talking - unless you say something stupid, so, watch your words. The only time I want you to be quiet is if and when I instruct you to do so, understand? I understand you being quiet since I’m not much of a talker myself, but don’t test my patience. If I get too bored, I might just find someone else.” He squeezes your thigh a bit tighter than you’d like.

Yuta: Yuta, like Taeyoung, would love that you don’t open up to others since he wants you all to himself, but he would quickly grow impatient- quicker than Tae. Despite this, though, he’d find your fear of him to be cute, charming, and quite the turn on. He’s never felt like this before for anyone. You stir up his lust and desire for you even more when you cower in fear and cry for him and he’ll never get enough. That’s when he’ll decide to keep you all to himself; forever locked away in his home.

“God, you’re irritatingly quiet. Speak my little cherry blossom, I want to hear that sweet voice of yours. You know I love when you talk to me and, unless I tell you specifically not to, you can always come and talk to me. Though, I do love seeing the fear in those beautiful eyes, and those tears- I may just have to have you hold that thought for a few minutes, smirks. Your skin is looking too bare for my taste.”

Johnny: He’s cool for a while with you taking your time to open up to him and think’s your shyness is adorable. He’s got a bit more patients for this sort of thing since he’s arguably one of the most laid back yandere’s. This doesn’t mean it’ll all be butterflies and rainbows, though, he can be dominating and will intimidate/scare you into opening up more.

“Hm, you’re quite shy, aren’t you, little one? It’s so adorable. Steps very close to you, backing you against the wall, staring down at you the entire time You know, before he died, that guy you liked said that you loved (something you love). Do I need to start asking the people you care about for information about you or will you talk to me? You’re so cute when you’re scared, Iove it.”

Taeil: Although he’s one of the more ‘gentle’ yanderes, in my book, he’ll have his moments where he’s just as forceful as some of the others. Being older and more mature/understanding, he’ll give you time to slowly come out of your shell, but you’ll never be able to go out until he can trust you, which requires you to corporate with him.

“Tell me more about you y/n. You don’t talk much. The last time you really talked to me was before I brought you home, where you belong. I gave you time to open up, but I’m starting to lose my patience. I don’t want to lock you away, but I will. So, please, open up more, alright? You’re not going anywhere until you do.”

Mark: This won’t fly with him at all. He doesn’t care that you don’t open up to others, as you shouldn’t, but not opening up to him is unacceptable. Since he’s sadistic and bossy, he could find your fear to be a turn on just like Yuta- he’s got a dark kind of kinkiness too that’ll make living with him even harder, on top of him controlling every little thing you do and threatening the ones you love.

“You can open up, you know. Actually, you don’t have a choice, I’m the only person you’re going to be talking to, so you might as well. Unless you wanna spend a few nights in the basement. Sees that you’re afraid Are you scared? He asks with feigned concern as he approaches. He begins to smile as he stares at you Good. You should be. Now talk before I start hurting you..��

Doyoung: He’d be annoyed with you. He feels that your fear is necessary for the sake of your obedience, but he hates you not being open with him. He’d be accepting of your shyness, thinking that it was kinda cute, but he’d become demanding and protective. Something about your shyness and fear would make him want to shelter you.

“Sighs See, this is why I took you. Well, you’re mine anyways, but you’re so quiet and so shy that the world would just love to destroy you. Believe me, you’re safer here than you are out there. I’m just trying to protect you, so why are you so scared of me? I won’t hurt you unless you give me a reason to and, well, you’re starting to give me a reason.”

Jaehyun: He’d take his time to get you to open up, maybe being light on punishments and pampering you here and there would make you warm up to him faster. He’d still assert his dominance, but he’d go easy on you at first, letting you get away with more than he would in the future. He doesn’t want to scare you too much yet.

“Hey, love. You want to go and get ice cream? We can go out and have a nice long talk about whatever you want, I just want you to open up more for me, ok? Try anything stupid, though, and I’ll drag you back here and chain you to the bed, got it? Good. Be a good girl for me and you’ll get a nice little reward.”

Jungwoo: Soft baby yandere will be a soft baby yandere. Because of this, you’ll be fooled into opening up to him rather quickly because of how cute and harmless he seems. He’ll slowly start revealing his true nature once you two become more and more of a thing. Jungwoo isn’t as innocent as he plays to be, and you’ll start to see this and become afraid of what he could do. He’d remind you a bit of Taeyong, sometimes..

“Aish, y/n, you’re so cute and quiet, anyone could get one over on you. That’s why I decided that you’ll stay with me from now on, it’s for the best. You don’t want to? Aww, you don’t really have a choice, hun. Don’t worry, though, I’ll take good care of you so long as you just love me back the same way I love you.”

Jeno: It doesn’t bother him at all. He prefers you this way because he himself is kinda quiet, calm, and reserved. This is mainly because he’s got a bit of a temper and darkness that he suppresses, and he’d hate to unleash it on you, so being shy and compliant will be best for you and him in the long run. He honestly thinks your fear of him is kinda cute and it always puts a smile on his face. Did I mention that he’s dark af?

“I made us some hot chocolate; hope you like it. Careful, though, it’s very hot. Chuckles You’re cute when you’re scared- come here let me hold you. Let’s watch a horror movie; I think it’s fitting for a night like this. Ever seen Human Centipede? Oh, you’re in for a treat little one, grins.”  

Jaemin: Surprisingly, he’ll be nice and not too pushy. He’s just happy to have you with him and, knowing how you don’t open up to others, he’ll feel more secure, but he’d still want you to talk to him, though. He’s not worried about you being scared because he kinda likes it in a weird way. It means he’s got more control and that always pleases him.

“I wish you would talk to me more. How can I properly take care of you if I don’t know everything about you? I remember seeing you dancing in your room, but you were wearing headphones. What was the song, love? I’ll play it for you, and we can dance together. Do it for me and maybe I’ll take you out. Deal?”

Jisung: This boy will be excited but worried because he doesn’t have to worry about anyone taking you away, but he’d also dislike you being too afraid of him. A little fear is fine, but if you were really scared then he’d have a problem with it. He’d honestly try to be a little less intimidating.

“Hey, I got you a teddy bear. I know you’re scared still, so I wanted to give you something to cuddle with until you’re a bit more comfortable with me. You honestly don’t have to be scared unless you try anything stupid, which it doesn’t seem like you will, so you’re fine. I bought some cookies too, if you want any. They’re your favorite.”

Renjun: Hot and cold, angry then calm, he’d teeter-totter between being aggressive and mad at you and being completely fine with your quietness. He can’t decide if he enjoys or hates it because he loves that you made it easy for him to swoop you off your feet and have you all to himself but he’d hate the time it’ll take for you to open up to him. He’ll grow impatient and become more intimidating- making it worse.

“Damn it, will you speak?! For crying out loud y/n, you’re really annoying! I only want to get to know you, is that too much to ask? I won’t hurt you unless you give me a good reason to, and you’re starting to give me a good reason. Maybe Haechan was right, I may have to be more forceful with you.”

Chenle: 100% Fine with it. He’s like that himself, so he doesn’t blame you- similar to Jeno. However, Chenle isn’t nearly as dark, he just enjoys the peace and quiet and appreciates the slight fear you have for him because it means less trouble for him. He also knows it means that he’ll get the chance to be your knight in shining armor by proving that he’s the sweetest bf in the world. Don’t underestimate him, though.

“It’s ok, you know you’re safe with me, right? I want to see you smile, not be scared. Although, some fear is better than none because I really just want the best for us, and I want you to give me a fair chance. Want to play this game with me? I bet you’ll be good at it, you’re very smart. I’ll even hold you while we play adorable smile.”

Haechan: The man has no patience; you won’t have a choice but to open up because he’ll be on your ass 24/7 (literally and figuratively). In fact, that’s why he kidnapped you- you weren’t opening up to him fast enough and he got riled up when he saw you giving all your attention to others- it pissed him off to no end. Haechan is competitive, relentless, rough, and intimidating and would terrorize you- and anyone else for that matter- to get what he wants. Your fear of him doesn’t always do much to soften him either.

“Yanks you to his side SO, what do you want to do today, y/n?…Well..? Speak up! You know I hate repeating myself so don’t make me do it- you’ll only get punished. Huffs You used to give all those so called ‘friends’ of your’s attention, and even that lame excuse for a man, but you can barely talk to me?! You’ll be staying inside until this behavior changes.”

Lucas: High key loves the fear you have for him but he’s a bit conflicted. As much as he loves seeing the fear in your eyes, he craves your attention so bad. He’ll end up scaring you into opening up to him because you’ll fear what’ll happen if you don’t. He’ll threaten you, your friends, family- if you’re still seeing them-, and anyone/anything dear to you.

“I guess you wouldn’t mind if your friend goes missing. Maybe a relative? Ah, decisions, decisions. I’m feeling like giving you some bruises too- don’t think for a second that I wouldn’t. It’s been a while anyways, and I’m missing your screams- OH, speaking of screams, your guy friend screams like a girl! Almost sounded like my ex when she was dying HAHA!”

Hendery: Wants you to fear him, maybe a bit more than love him. You’d be terrified for a good reason. He’s merciless and vindictive as hell. Like Lucas, he’ll scare you into opening up but, unlike Lucas, he wouldn’t show this side of him from the get-go. All his desires will have to wait a while. He’ll trick you into thinking that everyone you trust has left you, when he’s really either brutally killed them or turned them against you. You’ll run into his arms- the only person you feel you have left.

“Shhh, it’s ok, I’m here. You still have me here for you and I promise I won’t ever leave you like those so called ‘friends’ have. If you would like, you can come stay with me for while until everything blows over. It’ll probably be best since everyone’s against you. Being alone could be dangerous, you know, and I want you to be safe…You’re beautiful even when you cry..”

Yangyang: Could care less about you being afraid of him. It’s not like you’re going anywhere, so he knows that he’ll break you outta that phase. All he’s got to do is slowly deprive you of everything, including him, for a while and you’ll come crawling. Simple. Once that’s over, he’ll convince you that he’s the only one who loves you.

“See? I’m the only one who still loves you y/n. Everyone else would see your actions and would think you’re crazy, but not me. I know you’re feeling lonely and crazy, and I want to be here for you through all your pain. I love you y/n. You believe me, don’t you? Good. Let’s go home, you’re living with me from now on..”

Winwin: Hates that you’re scared of him and would play innocent as if he’s a naïve and harmless boy. Like he’s really a softie who needs love, manipulating you in the process. In reality, he’ll threaten your friends behind your back and play the victim, guilt tripping you if you try to confront him, blaming your friends for your thoughts towards him and, ultimately, causing you to push everyone away. Now he’s got you.

“They’re so mean to me..I-I don’t know what did pout. I didn’t do any of those things, y/n, you know I’d never hurt anyone. Maybe they don’t like me because of how much I care for you? They could be jealous, you know. I don’t know why else they’d want to break up such a good thing between us. Maybe they’re the ones that need to be kept at a distance; don you think?”

Ten: Clinginess x1000. You’d swear that someone was watching you nearly everywhere you went, watching your every move, and even some of your things went missing. You begin to suspect that it was Ten’s doing because of his rep as a bad boy with connections and the amount of information he knew about you. However, Ten is a master manipulator, so he’ll make you think you’re losing it by telling you that you’ve already told him before despite you never doing so. He’ll do something similar to Hendery, in which, he’d make you feel like you weren’t safe being by yourself and that you should stay with him because he knows how to protect you since, you know, he’s a bad boy himself.

“Shit, maybe you should stay with me from now on, don’t you think? Whoever they are, I can handle them easily, you know that, right? I can’t imagine why someone would target you, but I’ll make sure you’re safe first before figuring this out. I got you…don’t worry..”

Kun: Kun, being the cautious yandere that he is, would take his time to get to know you before showing his true colors. He’d squash all your fear for him in the beginning because he came off as such a nice guy that you deemed him harmless, even considering him a good friend. Once he’s sure about you though, he’ll begin to speed things up and steering you into a relationship with him. Once you move in with him, he’ll begin to show his true colors, scaring you back into wariness.

“What’s wrong y/n? Don’t like my true colors? I wasn’t completely lying all this time, you know. Much of me is still the same, it’s just that now you’re seeing all of me, including my uglier side. Don’t give me problems and you won’t have any. Try to leave and I’ll drag you back here myself- good luck though, the town is a few miles from here.”

Xiaojun: This psycho stalker already knows everything about you. He was well aware of your personality and, in fact, he loved it because he could have you all to himself and not have to worry too much about anyone else. Though, once he sees that you’re afraid of him, he wouldn’t blame you or even be angry because he knows damn well that he’s sick. What he will do, though, is kidnap you because your fear could be what ruins everything if you draw attention to yourselves.

“I don’t blame you for being afraid- you should be. You have every right to be, but if I had let you continue to be free, things would have gotten a little messy. You wouldn’t want me to kill your friends, would you? Of course not. If you cooperate, then I won’t touch them. Piss me off and I’ll hurt them and make you watch. Got it? Good, now pulls you close, time for your first mark..”

---------------------------------------------------

Y/n's POV

You felt your knees become weak looking up into Jungkook's dark eyes that were looking right back at you.

"As I was saying baby girl, instead of Appa, you should really call me.. Daddy.."

His same dark look returned, now also wearing a mischievous smirk that was oh so intimidating.

You couldn't tell what emotion this was he had, all you knew was it flustered you with each glance and each word he spoke with his voice that somehow managed to get octaves lower.

"Well baby? can you be a good girl and call me daddy from now on when we're alone?" his hand moving up from its place on your hip, now slowly rubbing up and down along the side of your body.

You gulped. "I-I-... "

"Yah Jungkook-ah are you in there?! get out so she can change! we still have more outfits for her to try!"

You were at a loss for words- thank god Jin had shouted from outside of the changing room just as you were about to speak, or in your case let out a soft whimper due to the fact that's all your brain would let you do at that moment in time.

Jungkook let out a sigh raising his hand to rub against his temple. Pulling away from you he opened the door of the small space to exit, quickly poking his head back in to look at you.

"I want an answer when we get home kitten" he gave a wink before leaving you alone to ponder about the encounter, although as soon as the door closed you sank down to the floor as your heart was racing.

'Aish Jungkook.. what are you doing to me..?'

~Time Skippy~

It'd been awhile since you all finished shopping, but judging by the darkness beginning to coat the sky with the sun about to set. It was getting late. Dinner time late.

"YAH- I WANT PANDA EXPRESS!" Taehyung hollered wildly flailing as he walked, causing Jin to let out a groan and rub the top of his head. "TAEHYUNG-AH!- we aren't getting that! we have food at home!"

"That. Is a LIE" Taehyung hissed dramatically as he narrowed his gaze at the oldest male.

Jimin let his the corner of his lips peak into a tiny smile. "Caught in a li- "

Jin snapped his head in his direction pointing a finger, "Jimin you finish that sentence, I will physically grab you by the neck and shove you down the shower drain along with Tae"

"ANIYA. JIN-HYUNG I'M JUST TRYING TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD-" he whined throwing himself into his hyung.

Rolling your eyes you let your head shake with a smile at the threes bickering, there was always something happening with these seven. Even when they all were walking towards the exit of a place some new crisis would develop.

"Tae, Jin- how about we all just go out to eat? as in a sit down restaurant so that way you both can stop screaming in public?" Namjoon questioned.

Once he'd suggested that option everyone seemed to stop moving and look around at their current surroundings.

Jin and Taehyung were in the middle of the mall, both looking around to make sure no one was staring.

Jimin and Hoseok stood behind in the back still carrying numerous bags of your clothes that you had bought. And of course you, Jungkook, and Namjoon all looked at them from the side.

Meanwhile Yoongi was ahead of everyone holding the door open, becoming impatient from waiting for everyone. "Restaurant is fine now just please lets go already, my legs are tired"

Letting out a groan before walking out, causing Jimin and Hoseok to rush from the back to follow him eagerly before the door closed.

Then Jin, Taehyung and Namjoon followed leaving you and Jungkook alone to trail behind them all.

"Alone at last huh baby?" he wiggled his brows giving you a wide bunny smile followed by a chuckle.

You simply purred at the image nuzzling your head up underneath his chin to hide your slightly pink face into his neck.

This was perfect, if you thought being his pet cat was a great life before- now you were clearly mistaken. Although as you began to think about it, how did you become human- well- half human- in the first place?

Your brows furrowed together at your thoughts, pulling away from Jungkook slowly but still keeping close to his side.

He seemed to notice and gave an almost unnoticeable frown as he looked down at you, reading your body language. "What's wrong y/n?"

"Its just- how did I turn into this..? I don't remember much of anything before you.." Jungkook pursed his lips, holding your hand he led you out towards the exit following after the others.

"After dinner I'll talk to you in private alright? when we're all home- I don't trust talking about it when we're out in public"

You felt your heart sink, was he embarrassed of you? did he not want anyone to hear of him having some weird cat-girl in his life??

Letting out a silent sniffle you quickly blinked your watery eyes to keep from crying, it was strange how this new form suddenly caused you to feel so many emotions quickly after another-

"Aish what took you guys? you walk slower than Yoongi-hyung when he first wakes up" Jimin joked nodding over to the older.

"But he doesn't move at all when he first wakes up- he just kinda lays there.." Yoongi looked towards Namjoon and Jimin with a look of confusion at their statements.

"How the hell do you two know so much about my sleeping habits??" having an almost disgusted face at the assumptions he thought up.

Joon frowned, "Have you forgotten we've shared a room-"

"Ah- okay yes but what about you Jimin-ah?" Yoongi raised a brow and focused more on Jimin, as did everyone else.

Even Jin looked up into the rearview mirror to spot Jimin, who was now sitting quietly twirling his thumbs in his lap.

They all continued to talk chaotically, while you sat staring out the window at your place in the back seat, Jungkook and Tae at your left.

Drowning out all the sounds of their nonsense, you looked up into the dark sky that glittered with tiny stars and a crescent moon that seemed to shine brighter than ever.

Looking at the moon always seemed to put you in some sort of state, a mix between wanting to go ferral and some calming comfort.

I will awaken soon enough, but do not fear what you are. That's their job..

That is until just then..

A/n: I've gotten some ideas for this..

{ Dr Kang Seo Yoon was a very successful researcher and doctor of the hybrids and worked at the hybrid welfare center. She lived with her six hybrids- Jin, Yoongi, Namjoon, Hoseok, Jimin and Jungkook- who had grown up on her through the years when she found them at the rescue shelters. She was a kind and empathetic person who had used all her resources and knowledge for the betterment of the hybrid species. What will happen when she comes across an injured Panther hybrid Taehyung outside her house and decides to help him regardless of him being hardly human towards her. Will she take him in? Will he become a part of her sweet happy family? }

Chapter 1

The Injured Hybrid

" Wake up noona" Seo Yoon heard the voice of Jungkook shaking her from slumber. He nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck tickling her with his soft ears. She chuckled at his action and finally got up.

"Aish, kookie where do you get so much energy at 5 in the morning." You said gently rubbing his bunny ears. He purred.

"Noona everyone is sleeping and I have been up for a while. I didn't want to disturb you but you said you have to wake up early for your work today so I thought I should come and see" He said his cute smile on full display a faint shade of red on his cheeks.

"Let's go and make some breakfast for everyone then, you can help me" She said getting down from her bed and following Jungkook towards the kitchen. The 23 year old was always cheerful making sure everyone around him is happy too. For his age he definitely acts like a cute lil toddler but she loved him dearly.

"Kookie I plan on making fried rice and omelette for breakfast. I'll start with the rice could you whisk me some eggs?" She told him and he nodded while grabbing a large bowl and a crate of egg from the fridge.

Seo Yoon was cutting the vegetable when Jin walked in the kitchen his hair a mess. "Good morning Jin oppa" "Good morning hyung" You and Jungkook said at the same time.

She felt gentle hands at your back, untying your apron. “I can take over Y/N, why don’t you go take a bath? You have to be at the center early for the rounds right? " Jin said shaking your hair.

“Thank you oppa, what Would I do without you” she said, stepping away from the stove. If Seo Yoon weren’t cooking, Jin was. He loved the activity ever since you taught him how. Soon enough he surpassed her skills, creating mouth-watering dishes. In thanks, she rubbed his dark fox ears. He leaned into your touch, fluffy tail swaying.

"Noona shall I go and wake all the hyung while you get ready? " Jungkook asked.

"Yes kookie that would be really helpful. Tell them all to brush their teeth and come for breakfast. " She said and walked back to her room to get ready for the day. Seo Yoon and Jaehyun had to work hard today. It was an open out patient day and different shelters were bringing their hybrids for checkups. She took a shower and dressed up in jeans and a formal shirt tying her hair in a ponytail her beautiful bangs covering her forehead. She could hear the commotion of the boys from the kitchen. She took her white coat and some files and walked out towards them.

All of them were sitting on the counter eating their food. All the 6 hybrids looked cute in messy hairs and pyjamas while stuffing their mouths with food. She took out your phone and clicked a picture. The sound of the shutter gathering everyone's attention. Despite most of them being younger than her, she insisted on them calling her by her name as she felt really old though Jungkook still called her noona because he always wanted an elder sister.

" Aahh Seo Yoon, you look so pretty. Come join us for breakfast " Hobi said wagging his tail happily. She went to sit with them patting each of their hair as they smiled at her. Yoongi took her in a hug and passed her a travel coffee container filled with her favorite drink which he made each morning for her. She took a sip and groaned in pleasure while everyone laughed at her love for coffee which she shared with Yoongi. " What would I do without you Yoongi oppa. I can hardly work without your coffee. " She said and sat down to eat her breakfast.

*****

After breakfast Jimin went and kept her files and coat inside her car and Jin packed her lunch. She picked her bag and was ready to leave. Namjoon came to her and gave her a hug. It was their thing. Every hybrid hugged her before she went out showing affection. She kissed Joonie's cheeks and then hugged Hobi. Jimin and Jungkook group hugged her nearly trampling her on the floor with so much force and enthusiasm. Yoongi kissed her cheek as she went out to her car where Jin was ready to drive her to the center. He liked driving her and would spend an hr with shelter kids helping around and come back in an hour. His dark green silk scarf which acted as a collar sat perfectly on his neck. Jin dropped her at her office saying goodbye and going towards the shelters behind the building.

Seo Yoon entered her building and was immediately met with the strong smell of hospital which she has grown to call home now. She went to her locker and changed into her scrubs and came to her office which she shared with her best friend Jaehyun who as usual was late as always. 10 minutes later you heard the door open and a panting Jaehyun in his scrubs appeared before you.

"I'm sorry I'm late, before you say anything Seo Yoon, Ik it's third time this week and today we have a busy day ahead of us but what can I do I was watching a drama at night and couldn't get up early because of lack of sleep. " He ranted in a breath going on and on about how the protagonist if the drama was so stupid for not understanding the guy loves her.

She shook her head. " Aeyah!! stop talking Jae before I murder you. One day I'll give you a nice trashing for how casually you take me. " She said with a pout. He laughed at her and hugged her as she melted into giggles. She can never be mad at the kid. He was way too sweet and cute.

Somebody knocked at the door and a nurse appeared. " Dr Kang and Dr Jaehyun, the patients are here. We can start with the day. " She said and left.

******

Jae and Seo Yoon sat at the table and opened their lunches. Jin always packed food for your best friend who loved his food even though Jaehyun himself was an excellent cook.

"I'm coming to your place for the weekend. I really miss the boys. It's been a while. And this week we even have the Saturday off from shelter duty" Jae said with his mouth stuffed. She has lived so much around boys now that it's hard for her to remember what sophisticated people looked like.

"Why don't you just move in with me. You already live at my place nearly all the time when we aren't working" I scoffed. Her place is more or less like an open motel for her friends to stay in whenever they want considering the size of her big real estate. After her father's demise when she inherited his wealth. She decided to make a big place where she can adopt some hybrids and live happily. It had literally all the required materials a person could need to survive in luxury. She really had spoiled all the boys with 24x7 wifi and gaming.

Jaehyun shook his head and laughed at her scowled face. He loved teasing the older girl.

"Why noona that's an excellent idea. I'll have an amazing time with the boys and get free food. " She got up and punched his arm. She absolutely did not liked being called noona.

"I told you not to call me noona or I'll give you a good trashing. " She angrily chewed on her fish.

"Ayee you are biased Seo Yoon, why does jungkook gets to call you noona and all of us don't. " He teased her further.

"Well if you really want an answer he is more cuter, is good at everything, doesn't gives me a headache every 10 minute and definitely isn't a constant pain in my ass. " She said laughing and Jaehyun threw her a dirty look.

*******

When Seo Yoon left the hospital in the evening it was quite late then usual. Jaehyun had left half an hour ago but she stayed looking at the shelter kids who ran around each other enjoying life without a worry. She had a smile on her face and a tear in her eyes as she walked back to her home. She always liked walking back to home and it wasn't an issue as it was a highly safe residential society with great love for people and hybrid. She felt someone's presence behind her and immediately knew who it was.

"Jin oppa you didn't have to come I was on my way. " She said and turned to see a flustered Jin caught following her. He was worried that she was coming home alone so late and thought to accompany her.

"How did you know it was me? Do you have a secret third eye behind your head or something? " He said and took your backpack from you holding your hands firmly.

"Well I have been around you since the beginning. It's easy to feel your presence. It's a girl thing. " She said and looked in the front. They were very close to their home.

A young man clad in black outfit was walking in front of them. He had a slight limp and looked almost drunk from pain. As if he was drowning his sorrows. He was limping towards the other side when he suddenly disappeared from their eye sight.

"Oppa did you see that? " She asked Jin. Jin pulled her behind him and they both walked quietly towards the road crossing. A black van was parked ans the man from earlier was being pushed inside it. He was being abducted. 2 men pushing him inside. Jin quickly rushed towards the van. He pulled the man from the goons hold and layed the now almost unconscious man on the road side. This gave the goons time to flee. Jin was about to go after them when Seo Yoon stopped him.

She immediately knelt beside the man. He wasn't drunk. He was badly injured. His abdomen was bleeding and his legs were tampered. She tried helping him.

He groaned as she touched him to treat his wounds. He immediately backed up at an inhuman speed. This shook both of them.

"He's a hybrid oppa. We need to help him. " Seo Yoon said and Jin immediately called Yoongi to keep first aid ready.

The hybrid's cap fell from his face revealing two soft black cat like ears. His tale was brilliantly tucked in his pants not giving anything away that he wasn't human. He immediately tried fleeing from the human who looked at her with her almost teary eyes but he couldn't. He did not have the strength. He collapsed in her arms his world going black as the last thing he saw was the beautiful face of a teary eyed angel who somehow did not look like she wanted to harm him like other humans.

Seo Yoon was almost gonna cry after seeing the hybrid. He fell in her arms. His life almost slipping away. Jin picked him up and they rushed inside the house towards the guest room. Yoongi and the boys had kept all necessary medical aid that they know Seo Yoon kept for emergency on a table nearby. They were as astonished as the duo seeing how badly injured this hybrid was.

"What happened to you" Seo Yoon wondered out loud.

Flower of Evil Thoughts- Episode 13

I think for Episode 13's post, I'm not going recap the whole thing. I'm just going to talk about some keypoints throughout the episode that really stuck with me as these posts are taking up too much time to write and gather caps for. I hope you understand.

Alright, so... we are starting off Episode 13 showing us a bit of Heeseong's past. And it would seem that from the time he was a kid, he was a pretty mentally screwed up individual. Such as throwing bricks off the roof and killing a dog. And I don't buy for one moment, one MOMENT that he "can't remember" and that he's stressed over school and depressed. That's just an excuse. Like I said. He walks out of the counselor's room, smirks and brushes off his fake crocodile tears. He uses that to get people to feel pity for him.

And would you look at that. There's Hyunsoo and his creepy dad sitting there at the psychiatric center. Do Minseok calls Heeseong out there asking if he knows why he did that. "Yes. It was because of teenage depression caused by academic stress." LOL No it wasn't. That sounds like such a fake, rehearsed line to get people to feel sorry for you. Anybody who pays close enough attention to you, or is just like you *cough*DoMinseok*cough*

"You've never met someone like you. You don't know how to play. You must've been lonely while doing it."

Oh my GOD you creeptastic man! We don't mold and groom people to turn into serial killers and be buddied up while doing it, regardless of how *like you* this kid might be. Well, at least now we know how Heeseong became Do Minseok's accomplice and prodigy. Ughhh ewww... that whole scene actually gave me chills.

Okay, so back to where we left off last episode. You know, just Heeseong and his father casually dumping Soon Young's body into the trunk of their car and finding out Hyunsoo and is wife are there at the house. Hyunsoo and Jiwon have arrived at the place they weren't planning to arrive, surprise! Or is it... trash mom looks a little nervewracked over the fact that they're just randomly showing up there. She keeps peeking and checking corners to make sure Heeseong isn't within eyeshot. It's not like a murder was just committed in the middle of the hallway of her house after all. She tries to pull the "I'm feeling tired. I'd like for you to come back tomorrow."

Jiwon interrupts with "I know everything." Uh oh...

So they're in, they're sitting down. Trash mom is all agitated again.

"What do you know and how much do you know?" her fidgety ass gets on my nerves.

Without missing a beat, Jiwon looks her dead in the eye.

"What are you hiding and how much are you hiding?" Girl YASSSSS.

And then they start pulling the whole "you know who your husband really is, and so you'll just accept that?"

"First of all, I want you to know, that I'm on his side no matter what happens."

Damn right she is. That's her man. Whether his name is Do Hyunsoo or Baek Heeseong, that her is MAN and she's got his back. She loves him and she will support him, regardless of what happens because that's what a strong wife does.

So trash dad says there are many things the 4 of them could talk about it.

"There's not only four of us. There's one more person this house, right? Where is he?" LOL GIRRRRRRRLLLLL. I REALLY love her. My badass female lead. She's not wasting ANY time.  And they sure did not waste any time in showing Heeseong hooked up and supposedly in that coma. Claiming he could die at any moment. Oh, please. You can't keep this a secret forever.

"We revealed all the secrets we have." LMAO NO YOU HAVE NOT. LYING SACKS A SHIT.

The way Jiwon and Hyunsoo are looking at each other, they BOTH know something is up and that something is not right.

Ohhh, Hyunsoo, you're brave but playing a VERY dangerous game here. I had a feeling that SOMEHOW this trap he set to catch Yeom Sangchul was going to backfire. But Hyunsoo is right. The person who made a deal with Yeom Sangchul to kill him, the person who offered double the amount of money, the ONLY person who knew he'd struck a deal with Yeom Sangchul that night, who knew the exact amount of money he paid Yeom Sangchul was trash dad,  Baek Manwoo. He also wanted him to kill Park Kyung Choon and was going to pay him to leave quietly. All signs point to there's some seriously shady business going on with Baek Manwoo, and I think Jiwon knows this, no matter how much he and his wife try and play up the innocent act.

"I believe I underestimated you." Well, they definitely handled that well.

"Hyunsoo, it's not me." Thing is, trash dad isn't lying. He's not the accomplice for the murders, but he knows who is and him trying to fake both Hyunsoo and Jiwon out is very obvious. If only they knew that Heeseong is not in a coma.

Oh look, the lights just conveniently go out... and here's how we find out that Yeom Sangchul did not go to the summer house. Because Heeseong tells him not to. This guy is really really smart. He's so smart, he's cunning and having that kind of person for a serial killer is rather terrifying if you ask me.

"Something is off. Something doesn't feel right, but I can't figure out what that is."

Jiwon, you're so close... You KNOW something isn't right and I think Hyunsoo can feel it too.

Also, HYUNSOO DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING IN THAT BASKET. DAMMIT. This is going to be how they frame him for the housemaid's murder. I just know it. He's literally handling everything in that basket and getting his fingerprints all over it. They plotted the whole thing with the lights going out, the candles, the mother dropping the basket of items with a tape roll in it.

They had to figure out how they were going to frame Hyunsoo, and this was too perfect. They are so ahead of the game that it's terrifying, and Heeseong is loving it because it really IS all just a game to him. He's a really scary and creepy character. His calculations are spot on with everything. I'm curious how this is going to turn out when Hyunsoo and Jiwon find out Heeseong is alive and out of his coma and he's the one doing this. I really can't get a read on Gong Mija... is she doing this because she fears for her life hence her almost seemingly reluctance? Or is she doing this because Heeseong's her son? I mean she tried to kill him twice now, so...

"Hyunsoo, I've always thought of you as family. That much I was sincere about."

Is she being serious right now? I mean here she is helping frame him for a murder he didn't commit, but is she also cooperating with Heeseong because she doesn't want her son to kill her on one of his crazy rampages? I think she's afraid of her son and fears for her life, but that she actually does care for Hyunsoo because she knows Hyunsoo is not a monster of a man that everyone has spent years making him out to be? I don't know. It's so strange... she's hard to get a read on.

"No matter what you thought of me, I have never wondered what you sincerely felt, not even once."

What does he mean by saying this? That he doesn't really care what she felt? That maybe he actually knows she's always cared for him? Or that maybe she's never given him a reason to wonder about what she sincerely felt in regards to him? The way she's watching him though as he places everything back into the basket she dropped, particularly when he grabs the roll of tape, is unsettling... I really don't get her. Why would she say that? Is she on his side and is just being used by her son and husband? Or is she on her family's side and enjoying plotting against Hyunsoo, tricking him and then framing him for murder? I can't figure her out yet... she's too back and forth and very inconsistent.

Wow... they're very thorough with framing Hyunsoo for this murder. To the point he's pulling hairs out and putting them in their car. More evidence for the police to find that Hyunsoo is the murderer. Heeseong is one formidable foe. He looks far too amused while sprinkling her hair everywhere. As they say in kdrama, AISH!!!

Alright, who's smoking cigarettes and watching Haesoo...? Is there someone else we don't know about?? Does she have a target on her back too? Can we think at all of who smokes in this drama? Has there been anything suggesting a character like that? Also, the person's handprint is on the window. I would think Haesoo would want to tell the cops this...?

You know, I'm with Jiwon on this. I really wish Hyunsoo would stop getting himself involved, but it's almost like he can't help himself. I mean I can't really blame him. Being pushed into almost committing murder (Park Kyung Choon), being told to leave quietly, having a hit put on his life, his wife finding out who he really is, almost having to leave his entire life and family behind and spending the rest of his life on the run? That's a lot for one man to deal with, but if he'd stop getting himself involved, maybe things wouldn't go so far south. Oh who am I kidding. This is kdrama.

And god love him, he's scared to the core for the safety of his family. The very idea that someone like that could exist in his life makes him sick, and the fact that they could reach Jiwon and Eunha terrifies him. This is definitely one of the WORST times he could've picked to discover he has emotions. I feel so sorry for him right now, because  he's doing what every loving father and husband would around the world. He's wanting to protect his family. And I love how Jiwon tells him that they're stronger than that serial killer. I love how they smile at each other, that seems to give him confidence. that she covers his trembling hand with hers to comfort him. Jiwon is so amazingly strong. I just love her. I can't stop loving this incredible character. I may even love her as equally as I love Hyunsoo.

JEONG MISOOK IS ALIVE AND I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT. I CALLED IT!!! I called it from the VERY START of them saying they never found her body and that she is still missing. Kdrama rules. If the body is missing, it likely means that person is alive somewhere. But still I KNEW she wasn't dead. It was a feeling I had since before Park Kyung Choon tried to kill Hyunsoo. It would seem she has no memory of anything. She didn't even know her own name, so it makes me wonder just what happened to this woman?? Hmmm... and how is Sangchul going to use her for insurance? Insurance of what? Is he going to go up against Heeseong now and use Jeong Misook being alive to his advantage? This is definitely interesting.

It's 2:31am and Hyunsoo is getting a call that's waking him. I think that's me every time someone wakes me up haha. That's a pretty late time in the night to be calling anyone though. Annnnd it's Heeseong. That much is obvious. He starts mentioning Jiwon and Eunha claiming he's a fan, but it's more than obvious by the total creep factor of his voice that he indirectly threatening Hyunsoo's family. And Hyunsoo knows this. He can feel it. And the anxiety and fear in him is high now. His family has a target on their backs.

What does he do? Search up the location of the phone number and leaves... oh NO. DO NOT leave the house!!! This is the perfect opportunity they have to continue to frame you for murder. They will use the "You left the house for awhile last night, so where were you?" Hyunsoo, I admire your fierce determination to protect your family and to continue to put together pieces of the puzzle, but this is REALLY REALLY bad... and OOHHHH there's a dash cam on someone's car!!! I mean I get that they're on vacation, but please tell me that dash cam might come into play??

Inside the payphone box written on the wall is

"Hide and seek. I can see you, but you cannot see me." And we know Heeseong wrote that specifically for Hyunsoo. He knew that Hyunsoo would come to that pay phone trying to find him. He's having far too much fun with this. It's nervewracking how calculating he is.

And naturally, people cleaning up the woods would find the body. Of course. Hyunsoo left the house, went to the pay phone and that body is likely buried very close to where he was at. And poor Hyunsoo. He's so stressed out and nervous about the indrectly threatening phone call he received, that while he's pouring breakfast smoothies he made for his family, he doesn't realize he's spilling it out all over the table. Instead, he keeps repeating the sound of the voice from last night's call and comparing it to the accomplice's voice in the threatening message he sent years ago. He knows they're the same.

Jiwon asks if her hubby is okay because he's thinking so hard about something he's spilling smoothie everywhere. Then sweet little Eunha comes running with a hairclip for her daddy to put in her hair for her. Makes me wonder how often he's went shopping with Eunha, picked out little hair clips and things for her as well as do her hair for her in the mornings before school? It's such a sweet thing between father and daughter. But ohhhh, Eunha. Why do kids have such big mouths? Lol He left early this morning and she saw? Ohhhh noooo... Busted. Jiwon knows you left. And saved by the bell. Or rather, the phone ringing. It's not like he can just start telling his family right there in front of the both of them that he received a passive aggressive call last night indirectly threatening their lives.

Eunha's little "Fighting, mom!" Was soooo cute as Jiwon rushes off to work.

I love how protective Hyunsoo is over his precious little girl.

"Eunha, look at daddy. Did you talk to a stranger recently?" "No." "You didn't think first." "Hmmm? No." "Never go anywhere with a stranger. What are the rules?" "I will not go anywhere with a stranger. An adult doesn't ask a kid for help. Mom, Dad or Grandma would never ask someone else to come pick up Eunha."

Look at their big smiles. I love how holds her face in his hands and tells her she did well.

Awww baby girl is hungry! How is she SO CUTE!?

"Dad! My stomach gurgled! Did you hear that?" And when he puts his ear up against Eunha's belly. Goodness my heart melted but then cracked at the same time. I'm so scared for this little family. I'm scared to death for Eunha... she's so precious and innocent. Heeseong worked for human traffickers that also kidnapped and sold off children. I'm so afraid for her. I'm so scared something is going to happen to her.

Alright, so the thumbnail is missing on Soon Young's body again. What is it about Heeseong's obsession with fingernails?? He collects the ones on the left hand from his victims while also biting off his own on his left hand. Is this just how he commemorates the killings of his victims? By collecting their nails? Ughhh GOD he is just so GROSS.

Noona is back at Hyunsoo's shop and confirms to Hyunsoo that the accomplice can't be Baek Manwoo because during the time that he was meeting up with them, someone was watching her. Hyunsoo tells Haesoo about the strange call he received in the middle of the night. Thank GOD she knows this!! This is actually really important, I feel. I'm almost hoping that Haesoo contacts Jiwon to tell her about this after everything goes down. I don't like that Hyunsoo is keeping this a secret from Jiwon. I get why, but I wish he'd tell her. I feel like this is really important. And now Moojin is telling them about the body being found and that it was missing a thumbnail, because neither had any clue about anyone being murdered.

The fact that they found her notebook and her notes inside shows the direct connection she had with the murderer. Jiwon looks unsettled as she's reading the notes and wondering who she'd be referring to when she says "If you do this again, I'll tell madam and Director Baek." And of COURSE the body would be found in Makmun-dong... the same location Hyunsoo was at last night when he was checking where the phone call he received had come from. UGH! The Baeks had this too well planned. How frustrating...

And now that they have identified the body, Sunbae is informing Jiwon that it's her in-law's housemaid. Jiwon thinks back to last night on their drive home when Hyunsoo states he needs to meet with the housemaid. She knows something isn't right and rushes out stating she has something to confirm urgently.

I'm really trying to understand Heeseong's obsession with Hyunsoo. Why is he so obsessed with him? Does it have to do with the fact he's Do Minseok's son? Is there something he has planned in regards to him?

Moojin says something here that I feel is really important.

"Serial killers can't contain their urge to kill. Perhaps it was because they were in a situation where they couldn't do anything for the last 18 years."

He's right. Heeseong was in a coma. That's why he couldn't do anything. That's why the serial killings stopped. I'm sure he worked behind the scenes for awhile with the human trafficking ring, but the night he hit Hyunsoo with the car and tried to bury him alive? That's when everything stopped. His family even went to so far as to lie and state he left the country and was studying abroad. I mean really now.

Awww, Hyunsoo doesn't want his sister being alone and very unsafe and exposed, so he tells her that she needs to stay with Moojin. I'm not really a fan of their pairing, but I do love the fact that Hyunsoo is entrusting her safety to someone. Honestly, I'd rather it be Moojin because there's nobody else out there he can ask or trust to care for her and keep her safe. He makes Moojin promise him that he won't leave Noona alone and that he'll keep her safe.

Hyunsoo, Yeom Sangchul is not someone you can use so easily to get close to the accomplice, especially now that Sangchul has his own ideas and isn't so willing to cooperate with Heeseong now.

I'm really wondering what plans Sangchul has for Jeong Misook. He's not sympathetic over her having it rough. He's gonna get paid? How? Obviously he knows that Baek Heeseong is the accomplice and a serial killer, but since he failed to kill Misook, what are his plans to use this to his advantage? I have to do more thinking on this. If you guys have any ideas of what you think he's going to do, please tell me so we can plot and speculate.

Okay, so Jiwon is fingerprinting her husband and comparing the fingerprints. I'm not so sure she willingly believes that her husband went out in the middle of the night and committed a murder on Soon Young. I think Jiwon knows something is definitely up, because she knows Hyunsoo wouldn't just suddenly at the drop of a hat decide to randomly commit a murder after everything they've been through and after revealing his whole life to her. He had plenty of opportunities where he could have committed murder, but the very idea of it sickens him. He expressed that much on their drive home from the Baek's.

Heeseong continues to disturb the hell out of me more and more. He might love and worship his mother, but I get the feeling that if she made one wrong move, he wouldn't hesitate to murder her ass too. And I think the mother is terrified of her son so she's trying to be careful not to make the wrong move. She doesn't want to set off her serial killer son after all. And just like I said, I KNEW they were going to use Hyunsoo picking up all those items, especially the roll of tape, to their advantage. I knew she was in on setting this trap for him. And she seems almost guilty that she did that, after remembering Hyunsoo gently pulling a string of fuzz out of her hair.

Hyunsoo is calling Yeom Sangchul from the burner phone... And who answers? Well SHIT now. Hyunsoo knows that Jeong Mi Sook is alive!!! And I also feel like this is VERY important and needs to be paid close attention to.

Jiwon enters the shop and starts questioning where Hyunsoo was at. Was it Makmun-dong? So Jiwon tells him who's body they found, and that she was in charge of taking care of a person who's in a coma and that she was the Baek's housemaid? She tells him the fingerprints on the tape turned out to be his, all the while shedding tears.

At first I thought, Jiwon are you kidding me? You're a DETECTIVE. You KNOW where the two of you were last night. You KNOW that your husband disappeared from your side very briefly to help "mother" gather up items she dropped everywhere. You KNOW what kind of man your husband is so WHY are you suspecting him of murder now!? This is NOT your style, this is VERY inconsistent of your character, as well as your claim of "no matter what happens, I'll stand beside him." Those were my first thoughts upon all of this when she tells him he's a murder suspect and she's arresting him without a warrant.

Also, I knew the mother would tell the police that she suspects Do Hyunsoo murdered the housemaid. This whole entire thing orchestrated between the 3 Baeks was too well thought out and too well done. Now the entire police force believes him to be a true murderer and that he's guilty. My stomach just twisted. Sunbae just told all of them that Hyunsoo is Jiwon's husband... oh god...

CAN PEOPLE FOR REAL STOP FRAMING HYUNSOO FOR LIKE FIVE FUCKING MINUTES!? OMG!!! It's unbelievingly frustrating!!!!

Anyway, I don't think Jiwon is suspecting her husband of murder. I think she starts to cry because she knows that he's being framed. She also knows that police are going to find out and will be showing up to arrest him as a murder suspect, so she wants to arrest him first. She even tells him that they will make sure he does not get punished for what he didn't do. Jiwon knows that her husband did not murder that woman and that he's been framed. Jiwon is doing this protect him. She's wanting to take him to the police station because honestly he would be safest there while giving his statement as well, but she is not telling her husband this, because she herself wants to get to the bottom of who's framing him once again. That's what I truly believe. Jiwon has her own agenda, and it makes it hard because she and Hyunsoo are not on the same page.

Hyunsoo seems legit heartbroken that his wife believes him to be a murder suspect. So much to the point that he sees the image of his father, has a flashback to his father telling him this.

"Love can be very cunning. It is very sly. It makes you think you can solve everything, but in the end, it betrays you. Hyunsoo, listen to me carefully. When you feel the urge to trust somebody one day, it means you're becoming weak."

Okay, yes, he is distraught by this. He's genuinely hurt because he thinks Jiwon doesn't believe him. That Jiwon doesn't trust him anymore, so much so that it crushes him and makes him see his father once more telling him this. Jiwon gives him that look because she remembers him "seeing" things before that wasn't there. The fact that his wife would believe for even a moment that  he could be capable of killing anyone has sent Hyunsoo's mental health on a bad decline once again, and I am so worried for him...

"Tell me something. Do you believe me?"

Jiwon can only say "What?" Because I don't think she realizes what's happening to her husband's mental stability right now thanks to her.

"Or deep down inside, do you believe that I really could have killed her?" He tearfully tells her "If you don't even believe me, then who else in the world would believe me?"

And now, here's where I believe Hyunsoo shuts of those emotions long enough to put his own agenda into play. He's not going to trust anyone anymore, because all it's been doing is getting him hurt, getting people out wanting to kill him, putting his family's lives in danger, and even making his wife not believe in him. Like hell he's going to that police station when the lives of his family are in danger and he knows it. I'm pretty sure I know what Hyunsoo is doing. For this moment, he's throwing away love.

It suggests as much from the preview for Ep 14, but it appears to me that he's setting his own trap.

For one, I will say, he's definitely heartbroken over the fact (at least through Hyunsoo's eyes) that his own wife seemingly does not believe nor trust that he did not kill Park Soon Young, so I can understand his hurt here. I think my heart ached for him too. However, I fully believe that the CCTV was a set up, as well as him "attacking" his wife and holding a blade to her throat. That was a set up too.I believe he was trying to show hostility toward his wife to better her chances and give the accomplice less of a reason to want to go after her. Also, back when he attacked Moojin, he had no CCTV set up in his shop at that point in time, because why would he? It's his OWN shop. There's literally zero reason to have a CCTV in there, especially when he never did before. His shop is right below his house. At least I don’t recall ever seeing one in there til this episode. All he did was lock the doors and close the blinds. There was no unplugging cameras at all.

He points Jiwon toward the monitor and he's turning this into a "hostage" situation because now he's been framed, yet again, for ANOTHER murder he didn't commit, and he knows that that accomplice knows about his family. He knows that the strange call he received at 2:31am was from the accomplice and that his family is ultimately in danger and being targeted. He's creating a hostage situation and is going to do his best to get Jiwon and Eunha somewhere safe. I fully and 100% believe this, because that's Hyunsoo's style and because of the preview for the episode. Like him telling his wife in a very gentle voice "We'll see each other again. Don't look at me like I'm going off to die. Wish me luck instead." Also, they're running off together hand in hand. Jiwon doesn't look like she fears for her life.

It would seem like cheap writing for her to just suddenly start randomly suspecting her husband of murder. It's not Jiwon't style and it's horribly inconsistent to her character up til now. I think both Hyunsoo and Jiwon have their own agendas because Hyunsoo kept the secret of the phone call from Jiwon, and Jiwon knows that someone is trying to have him killed, namely the Baeks. Hyunsoo is using the logical side of himself rather than reacting through the emotional side, because emotions CAN make you weak and now he needs to be as calculating in this game as Heeseong does. Now it's his turn to play Hide and Seek while finding out that Heeseong is the accomplice.

My heart is pumping now and I cannot WAIT til next week!!! It's going to be a very long, agonizing wait, these next 5 days.

The Foreigner Part 1

Characters Got7, Stray Kids and Reader/fictional character

Genre: adoption, kidnapping, family reunion,

Words: 3255

Summary: One day she gets kidnapped and taken to South Korea and when she wakes up she's in a big room that looks like a dance practice room which it also is and it's located at the company called JYP. She's been stuck there for a few hours over night when a bunch of boys comes in to practice and finds her when they start to speak to her they find out she doesn't speak Korean that well so they can't communicate with her in any way until they find out that she's very similar to one of the boys but still different in a way

Crystal's POV

It's was now Monday the 21th of July and I have now been in this room for 20 hours without any food or drinks or anything. I don't even know what kind of place this is or where in the world I am.

I was sitting thinking to myself about how I could get out or when there would maybe come some when I heard footsteps and voices. It sounded like a bunch of male voices which I'm not a fan of at all.

As I crawled down to the nearest corner of the room the door opened and it stormed in with boys and the light also got turned on which hurt my eyes at first.

When they saw me all their talk stopped and they just stood there and looked at me.

"Hey, little one. What are you doing here?" He said but I didn't understand a word of what he was saying.

"Aish! I don't think she understands what you're saying Mark" a tall man with a brown mullet said.

"Try and let Jackson or Jinyoung speak to her, maybe she understands them" the mullet man continued to say.

The others stepped away when a semi-tall man came over and sat down in my level as he started to speak a language I actually understand.

"Hey how are you?" He asked and I slowly started to losen up a bit because of how soft his voice is.

"I'm afraid" I said to him as he took his arms around me.

"Do you understand me if I speak English to you?" He asked as he took a piece of hair behind my ear

"A little bit" I said as he nodded his head.

He stood and walked over to other boys.

"So what did you talk about with her?" A very tall man asked him as he looked at me.

"Well seems to be that she doesn't really speak but she understands a little Korean" The boy with glasses said to all of them as they nodded their heads.

"So if we s say something to her she won't reply with words? The tall boy asked.

"Basically yes unless we learn her some Korean." The The boy in glasses said as he looked at me.

As I sat there in the corner another of them came up to me and he was kinda pretty for a man being.

As he came closer I became more closer to him I ran up to The boy in glasses and hugged him tight as he took me up in his arms.

"Maybe we should introduce ourselves so you know our names. Wouldn't that be a good idea?" He asked me as I nodded my head and hurried it in his neck.

"Well I'm Bambam and I speak Thai sometimes" he said as I nodded.

"Hi, I'm Jinyoung"

"Hi, I'm Yugyeom"

"Hi, I'm Jaebum"

"Hello, I'm Jackson"

"Yo, I'm Youngjae"

"Hey, I'm Mark"

They all said one by one.

As I was sat in Jinyoung's lap he looked at me.

"What's your name sweetie?" He asked looking at me.

"3276" I said showing him my arm with the numbers on.

Jinyoung looked worried at the other boys and then at me "Sweetie, don't you have a real name?" He said as I just looked up at him with big tears eyes.

I just nodded my head as a no.

Crystal's pov

The boys looked worried at me when I nodded my head as a no. I hate attention especially when it's all on me and nothing else. I could feel how my eyes started to tear up as I thought of everything that had happened and my parents so I just yelled out "mummy!" As I hide in Jinyoung and started crying softly.

"Awe sweetie, I'm right here okay? I'm gonna protect you" he said as I started to calm more down while the boys just awed.

Soon after I was carried over to a couch as they all were starring me which I didn't like as I mentioned earlier.

"We're gonna have to do some dance practice now, so you can just sit here and watch us, for the time being, is that okay?" Jinyoung asked as I nodded my head and they started dancing.

A few hours later

Darkness. That's all I can see. Not again. Did the boys kick me out or throw me back to the bad guys? Please don't! Not that place again. 

There's nothing I can hear. It's all quiet. Suddenly footsteps are coming towards me, ripping the darkness away from me. Looking at it, I all this time had a back over my head. Where the hell am I?! 

"Well hello, sleeping beauty. Did you have a nice nap?" The man in front of me asked. I just sat shocked to answer him. Big mistake. Next, I knew was pain on my cheek. Where're the nice boys when I need them? 

"Answer me, you little brat!" He yelled at me. I jumped in fear, causing him to smirk. Pain from my side always made him happy. A sick kind of happiness. Remember only for eomma. 

"Y-yes, s-sir" I answered in fear.

Smirking he walked over to the dark side of the room. What does he even want from me anyway? I have nothing. I'm only here for eomma so she doesn't get the pain and has to suffer more. 

Turning all the lights on, he revealed a woman. Tied up, just like me. Please don't be eomma! 

"You see, 3276 I know I have never been able to break you. Yet. Do you know who I found walking around in the streets yelling your name? Your very own mother" He said ripping the bag away from her head too. No! Not her! He already killed appa. Not eomma too! 

"Eomma!!" I screamed with tears in my eyes. She locked eyes with me. Crying too. 

"You see 3276. She is going to suffer too. All because of you. I hate to do this to you. Wait, no. I don't. I know this is the only way to break you from the inside." He craped ommas neck hard caursing her to gasp for air.

"If your omma didn't fall in love with your coward of an appa. We wouldn't be here" He started. Punching omma in the face. Leaving a bloody nose. "YOU COULD HAVE BEEN MY DAUGHTER!!" He screamed, making both omma and me jump in fear. "But no! She chose Nick, you asshole of an appa!" Yelling again he begin to beat her up. Being more and more violent. Until I screamed he would never be my appa. That was the last drop he needed. He pulled out a gun shooting omma multiple times all over her body. 

"EOMMA!!" I screamed, looking in the eyes of Jinyoung. Crying my eyes out I jumped down from the couch and in his arms. Holding tight onto him. 

Jinyoungs POV

I don't know how long we had been practising but suddenly I heard small cries coming from the couch. I stopped the music and made my way to her. Is she okay was the only thing I could think of. When I saw her I immediately yelled the boys over. How the hell do we wake her? We started to yell her name. Nothing. Shaking her she sat up bright and screamed omma. We locked eyes and she soon was in my arms. Holding onto me like I was going to dissapair in front of her. I hold her tight. Calming her down. What did she go through to have this bad of a nightmare? 

Jinyoung's POV

I looked up at the other boys as they all looked worried about what just happened. I hugged her tight as I could feel how she was crying and shaking.

"Guys I think we should end practice for today and just get home" I said with a sad and serious look on my face.

As we were walking down the hallways of the jyp building, Stray Kids came walking towards us.

"Are you guys done with practice?" Chan asked us. 

"Yes we are, you can use it now if you want to" Jaebeom replied looking quick over at the girl and back to Chan again.

"Great thanks, mates" Chan said as he did the bro hug with Jaebeom.

Right before he left to be with the rest of SKZ he looked at me with a questioning look on his face.

"Who's that little princess?" He said as he lightly giggled at bit.

"I'll explain it you later bro" Bam said as Chan just nodded his head and went into to practice with the others.

A few hours later

Jaebeom's POV

As we arrived at our dorm, we all went over to the couch and sit with Jinyoung and the girl.

"How about you tell us a bit about yourself?" Mark asked with his soft voice. She slowly nodded her head as she was clinging on to Jinyoung after from what happened.

"I'm 10, idk my name, I have no family and I like music" She said with a cute little voice.

"We are your family now if you want to live with us?" Youngjae said as he smiled at her. She nodded her head and slowly got up from Jinyoung's chest and now just sat on his lap.

"What of kind of artist do you listen to?" Jackson asked her calmly.

"I really like listening to NCT, I think they have a really cool style in music" She said as she suddenly lighted more up in her mood and became more relaxed around us.

"Nice, do you have a favourite in the group?" I asked her whilst smiling at her.

"Yes, I really like Taeyong he's so cool and especially with his rapping" She said as she got all excited about it.

"How cute!" Yugyeom said as he laughed a little bit.

As we all started to clean up around the house, she came up to me and looked at me.

"Jaebeom oppa, when can I get a name like you guys?" I looked down at her big brown eyes who shined like diamonds and crystals as i lifted her up on the kitchen table to sit.

"What do you want to be called?" I asked her as she shrug her shoulders "I don't know, can't you choose something?" She asked looking tired.

"Sure I can. What do you say about we call you Crystal?" I asked where and her eyes lit up like stars in the night sky.

"I love it Jaebeom oppa, thank you!" She said as she hugged me quick and let go again.

"Where's Jinyoung?" She asked suddenly going back to being terrified as she grabbed on to my hand tight.

"I think he's in his room, come here let's go into him" I said to her as I lifted her up in my arms and placed her on my hips as she immediately gripped tight onto me like something was gonna happen.

"It's okay I'm right here, nothing is going to happen to you" I said trying to calm her down as we reacted Jinyoung's room.

"Jinyoung, there's someone here who wants you" I said when Jinyoung came up to take a tired and scared Crystal in his arms.

Jinyoung's POV

After Jabeom left I placed her on my bed and started to change into my pyjamas.

"Jaebeom has given me the name Crystal" She said shy.

I looked at her in awe.

"How nice, do you want him to be your dad?" I asked as she slowly nodded her head while she quick said "Pls don't hurt me for choosing him" I sat down beside her when she flinched a but.

"Crystal, look at me. I'm not going too hurt you, I would never do that. It's great that you find trust in him. I'm the mum of this group anyway, so you don't need to worry and if anyone ever hurts you, then we will take care of it" I said as she hugged me tight and stared crying as I tried to calm her down till we eventually fell asleep both us. 

Next day...

Jinyoung's POV

I looked around in my room as I realised what happened yesterday and found a sleeping Crystal in my arms. I sat up and let her sleep as I went out in the kitchen and started cooking breakfast for the boys.

Soon the the kitchen was filled boys who clearly where hungry for the food.

"Hyung, this smells delicious!" Yugyeom said as he sat down at the table together with Bambam and followed by the rest of the boys except from Jaebeom who hasn't come out yet.

"Hey Jackson have you seen JB?" I asked looking at him as he just shrugged his shoulders a bit.

"Last time I saw him he went into your room to check on Crystal I think" He said as he filled his mouth with Rice.

Sooner than later JB came out in the kitchen with Crystal half asleep in his arms as he sat down at the table.

"Hey princess, did you sleep well?" I asked as I walked over to her taking her up in my arms so JB could eat.

She just nodded her head as she rubbed her eyes "Mmmm" she just said yawning a little bit while she rested her head on my shoulder.

"Hey Youngjae, could you and the other boys watch her for me and JB as we have some stuff we need to do" I asked winking at JB as he choked a bit on his rice.

"Sure Hyung, We can take her to the park. What do you say to that Crystal?" He asked as she just nodded her head slowly.

This is going to be interesting as she doesn't really speak to other than me and JB, but I can feel that she will connect fast with Youngjae.

Youngjae's POV

Me and boys decided to take Crystal to the park so we or she wouldn't disturbe JB and Jinyoung hyung.

"Crystal, don't want to go play with some of the other kids at the playground?" I asked her as she just nodded her head as a no.

Until Jackson got up and said "Come princess, I'll go with you" He said clearly more excited about this than Crystal but she agreed with going along with him in the end.

Before they left Mark yelled to Jackson "Yo Jackson you better not loose her, okay? Keep an eye on her and stay close to her" Jackson just nodded his head not really carrying about what Mark said I think.

Jackson's POV

As we walked to the playground I looked down at Crystal as she looked up at me.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked her as she pointed to the swings and we went over there. As we got closer and I started swinging her I noticed a really pretty girl like omg she is breathtaking. I looked at Crystal as I said.

"Sweetie, uncle need to go for a short time. I'll be back again soon I promise but you need to stay here okay?" I said as she nodded her head and continued to swing by herself.

15 minutes later...

As I went back to the swings where I left Crystal she was gone... shit the boys are going to kill me when they find out. I started looking for by slowly calling her name so the boys wouldn't notice that i literally just lost her until Mark came over and tapped my shoulder as i flinched a bit of nervousness.

"Hey Jackson, how's it going?" He asked smiling but I knew that smile and it wasn't a good one it was the I know you did something wrong but I'm trying to kill you right now smile.

"It's going great hyung don't worry" I said trying to play it a bit cool.

"Great then where is she?" He asked putting his arm on my shoulder.

"We're playing hide and seek so I can't tell you" I said trying to come up with a lie hoping he wouldn't find out the truth.

"Why don't you just tell me that you lost her instead of this?" He said looking straight at me.

"Fine... I got distracted and when I came back she was gone. I'm sorry" I said looking down at the ground.

"I'm disappointed in you cuz you didn't listen to me as I said but let's find her before it gets dark, wait here and I'll tell the other boys.

Crystal's POV

As I sat on the swing waiting for uncle Jackson to come back I saw a butterfly, it was so beautiful so I had to follow it not watching where I was walking or in which direction when suddenly i was lost and couldn't find back to where uncle Jackson and the others where.

I got really scared as I'm not used to be myself in a place i don't really know. I tripped over something and started to get an anxiety attack as to boys was walking up to me which made me even more scared.

Felix's POV

As me and Han were walking a little late night walk along Han River we saw a little girl who was sitting on the grass crying so we walked up to her but she started to flinch and get even more scared.

"Hey calm down we're not trying to hurt you, we just want to help you" I said as she looked up at us for the first time.

I took her up on my lap as we sat on a bench when Han whispered to me "Yo Felix doesn't she look a bit like Changbin?"

I looked at her once again and saw it a little bit but not much.

"What's your name?" I asked her while trying not to sound too scary with my deep voice.

"C-Crystal" she said sounding very shy and scared.

I looked at her trying to calm her down.

"Nice. My name is Felix and that is my friend Han Jisung" I said as she bowed shortly at him and he bowed back.

"What are you doing out here alone? Where's your parents?" I asked her as she became even more silent.

"I was with uncle Jackson at the swings and then I got distracted by something and got lost" she said as something hit me when she said Jackson

"Jackson as in Jackson Wang from GOT7?" I asked her as she just shrugged her shoulders.

"I just want JB appa and Jinyoung eomma" she said as she started crying into my chest.

"We know your appa and eomma" I said to her as she lifted her head once again.

"You do?" She said sniffling.

"Yeah they're in the same company as us, we talk to them a lot" I said as she calmed a lot more than she's ever been this whole time.

"Let's take you with us back to our dorm as it's getting late, okay?" I said as she nodded her head yawning a bit as I lifted her up and we started walking towards the dorm.

We sooner than later arrived at the dorm and as soon as we went in Changbin widened his eyes as soon as he saw her.

"Yoona???" Changbin said shocked...

White

"Okay, so shoes. What shoes?" Sam asked as I led her and Helen to a shoe store.

I told them the heel's height, the shoe size and that the color should be white.

"What's this for again?" Sam asked as she looked around the store.

"It's for a shoot." I replied as I browsed some shoes at a corner.

"What's the theme?" Helen asked.

"Wedding theme." I replied and I could see Sam's eye widen when she looked at me.

"Who's the groom?" Helen asked.

"Did I say that there was a groom?" I asked.

"Of course. In a wedding shoot, there is a bride and a groom." Helen started to explain.

"I wonder who's the groom." Sam said. "Just in case I need to put your boyfriend in a room so he wouldn't go berserk during your photoshoot."

"Actually, it's just him who's going to be the groom." I finally gave in and told them.

Helen gave Sam a look. Sam was confused for a moment before she opened her mouth and she slowly nodded.

"Sam, stop that." I said. "Close your mouth. I can see something else."

Sam closed her mouth and she raised an eyebrow.

Helen laughed. She probably got the reference.

"Ah, let's just get this over with." Sam said and she took a pair of shoes off a table. "Here."

"Oh, this is nice." I commented as I observed the shoes. "But I don't think it's going to be all that comfortable."

"How about this one?" Helen suggested as she showed me a pair.

"Um, I don't like the style." I said after I observed it.

"How about this one?" Sam asked with a mischievous smirk on her face as she showed me the most weirdest looking shoes I have ever seen.

"Sam!" Helen laughed as playfully smacked her on the head.

I smiled at them.

This is going to take a while.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

"Guys, I think we better go back to the dorm for a while. We have practice soon." Sam said as she looked at her watch.

"Yeah, we should." I agreed. "Iris and Nicky must be finished recording."

I could see Sam bite her lip in an attempt to stop laughing.

"I'm sorry." She said when she laughed out loud.

"Hoy! Don't underestimate Nicky." Helen said, seriously. "She's good at rapping."

She laughed at her own saying and Sam just laughed along.

Aish, these two. Why are you teasing our leader?

"But in all honesty though," Sam said when she finally composed herself. "I love Nicky. In a friendly sisterly way. Cause she's the best!"

"Even if she teases you a lot?" I raised an eyebrow at her as I remembered every innuendo Nicky says about Sam.

"Well," Sam said. "I'll always find a way to get revenge."

She laughed away, it was almost as if she was a villain. Evil, evil laugh.

"Hah, this is why we shouldn't leave her alone with Ilhoon." I muttered.

Two maknaes. Two evil maknaes.

Sam's not evil but she can be, besides it's Ilhoon.

It's gonna get chaotic. I just know it. Deep, deep, deeeeeeppppp down inside.

"Guys, let's go!" Helen said and we all went back to the dorm.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

"Okay, how about this one?" Iris asked as she showed me a pair of shoes.

After practice, we all went to find me a pair of white heels for the shoot again. This time with Iris and Nicky.

"Hey, that's good." I took it and examined it more.

"Well, there's only like two white heels in this one." Iris said. "The rest are silver."

"Hah, Silverlight!" I teased Sam and she just rose an eyebrow before she smiled.

"Wow, no reaction today?" Helen asked.

"Eh," Sam walked away and took a pair. "What about this one?"

When I saw it, I kind of liked the way it was designed.

"Try it on!" Helen said.

Actually, I tried on a lot of shoes before I finally brought one.

"Hmmm. . ." Iris said thoughtfully. "Maybe I should buy one too."

"Yeah, me too." Helen said.

"I think all of us needs one." Nicky said. "Sam needs one since you're gonna be a host in an event, right?"

"It's just a cosplay event, no biggie." Sam shrugged.

"No biggie? Who's the character you're gonna cosplay?" I asked. "The shoes depends on that character, right?"

"Yeah," Sam said. "I'm going to cosplay as Judy Hopps! From Zootopia!"

"Good luck then!" Iris said. "She doesn't really wear heels, right?"

"Yep, and my co-host is Liui Aquino and he's gonna be Nick Wilde. You know, the fox." Sam said.

"Ha, good luck. Don't let Eunkwang jealous." Nicky teased. "I heard that Liui is a really handsome guy."

"Eh, we're just good friends." Sam said. "Eunkwang knows anyway."

"Ok," I nodded. "Good luck to all of us then."

All of us has stuff to do.

Nicky is going to be featured in a talk show in a few days so I can understand why she thinks she needs a new pair of shoes.

Helen is going to be a judge in a dance show, the details are still a little rough around the edges and she's not sure if she'll take it but that doesn't mean that she shouldn't be prepared to look good whether or not she'll take the job.

Iris? She seems to be having a photoshoot too in a few days for her solo album after she finishes the recordings.

Sam is going to host a cosplay event with Liui Aquino. A host should always look good but her's is like a Halloween costume party, accuracy of the character is what she craves.

And then there's me with the wedding photoshoot with none other than my boyfriend, Lee Minhyuk, as my groom.

We all need luck.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

"There! You're ready!" The make-up artist said.

"Thank you." I smiled at her before I saw her go get the first gown I was going to use.

I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed.

Relax

It's gonna be fine.

"Let's change into your dress?" I heard her ask and I nodded.

She helped me into my dress and after that she placed the veil on my head.

"Well, you're ready!" She said with a satisfied smile before she left to inform the photographer.

I looked at myself in the mirror and took my reflection in.

The gown was beautiful and veil just made it look gorgeous. I really felt like a real bride.

I could almost feel myself tear up but I stopped myself because I don't want to ruin the make-up artist's effort.

"Ah, she's having a moment." She nodded. "Maybe you should wait for a while."

I looked behind me and I saw her and Minhyuk at the doorway of the dressing room. Minhyuk had a bouquet of flowers in his hand and his other hand was in the pocket of his pants. He looked really charming in his tuxedo.

"Well, looks like she's done." Minhyuk said and he walked towards me to give me the flowers.

"You look beautiful." He whispered in my ear.

"Don't flatter me." I said as a warning but he just smirked.

"It's the truth." He said and he held out his arm for me to loop in. "Let's go attend the wedding?"

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

"Okay, look at her like she's your whole world." The photographer said and Minhyuk did what he was told.

He looked at my eyes with love and I looked back at him with the same emotion as the photographer took some pictures.

"Okay, now get closer with each other. Hands on her cheeks, Minhyuk. Okay? Look down at her lips like you're going to kiss her. You look at his lips too." The photographer said.

We did that but I can't help but think.

Did I tell you that we haven't publicly said me and Minhyuk are together? Well, now you know. And this is a very tight situation we're in. I hope Minhyuk doesn't do anything overboard. I hope I don't do anything overboard.

"Good, good. Wow, you two have so much chemistry." The photographer snapped more photos. "Now, how about a kiss?"

I looked at the photographer surprised.

What?

"Hey, isn't that a bit too much?" Minhyuk said.

At least you have the initiative to stop him. Thank you.

Because you know how we cannot control our kisses yet.

Long story, don't ask.

"This is a wedding themed photoshoot. In a wedding, there will always be a kissing scene." The photographer said.

"But isn't it going too much out of her boundary?" Minhyuk asked.

"You are an actor, you kissed a whole lot of girls onscreen. What makes kissing her any different?" The photographer asked that made my blood boil. "Unless?"

"Unless what?" I snapped. "Did you even ask me what I would feel kissing this guy?"

They both looked at me surprised.

"Look, we can just find another pose." Minhyuk tried to bargain.

"I'm sorry but I was given a list." The photographer said. "Besides, if you didn't want to get kissed in this shoot then you shouldn't have taken the job in the first place."

I sighed.

"Also, why are you even so concerned about this?" The photographer asked Minhyuk.

Well, this escalated quickly. We need an escape route fast and not let anyone know.

"Okay, okay." I said before Minhyuk can reply. "I'll do it."

I nodded and looked at Minhyuk.

"We'll do it."

Minhyuk bit his lip before he nodded slowly.

"Okay, then." The photographer nodded. "Just take your time, indulge in the moment."

Minhyuk cupped my cheek and looked directly at my eyes, he looked a little worried.

"You sure?" He whispered and I just nodded.

Let's get this done.

He kissed my lips and I could hear the clicking of the camera.

Be satisfied, Mr. Photographer! Because I am not doing this again!

I started to kiss back and I could almost feel it becoming heated.

Oh, his lips.

"Okay, okay!" The photographer called. "Break it up, lovebirds!"

I opened my eyes and I pulled away.

"Thanks for the great poses." The photographer said. "Dismissed!"

I sighed.

Yes! Finally over!

I started to walk towards the dressing room and I started to put on my normal everyday clothes to meet up with the girls.

But before that, I checked my phone for a while and saw that Sam has a text message: I kinda have a weird feeling about this photoshoot. Be careful!

Aigooo, this kid and her sixth sense. But somehow they always end up true, you know? I think I'll just be careful.

I put my phone in my bag and was about to leave the room when the door opened and Minhyuk went in.

"Sorry about awhile ago." He apologized.

I nodded a bit.

"It's okay, I'm sorry for almost losing my temper." I said with a sheepish grin.

He touched my chin and made me look up at him before he placed a kiss on my lips.

When we pulled away, we smiled at each other.

"How would you feel about announcing our relationship to the public?" He asked.

"Hah, you're so daring." I chuckled. "But it would be great that we can stop this charade with people already if we do announce our relationship."

I took a deep breath.

We should really stop this.

"Well, not right away." He suggested. "We'll think about it then maybe plan it. Ask advice from our managers and our members."

I nodded and I hugged him, he hugged back and he gently stroked my hair.

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

We stayed like that for a while like the world stopped for us.

I wish when we finally reveal it to the public it would turn out like the white satin fabric of the gown: pure and almost faultless. Nothing to hide finally.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. The sounds only Aiden can hear as he runs around a corner dodging people who were chasing him he sighs and holds his wound wincing as he feels the sharp pain and the mark of blood from the wound he was dealt with.

Aiden: Shu.... Why... We both could have made it together....

Aiden slumped over on the side of a wall in the alleyway as he tries to patch up his wound, he rips a part of his t-shirt to stop the bleeding and cover up the wound. He suddenly remembered that he had some bandages inside his bag and quickly took the bag from his back and started to rummage over it finally holding the bandage over his head and shouting...

Aiden: Yes! Final-

He stopped in his tracks as he see a Polaroid come down from the bandages seemingly stuck to it before he picked it up. He shakily picks up the picture and started crying as he remembers the memory from the picture.

Priscilla: Hey! Come on! You guys always take to long when we go out...

Aiden: Yeah yeah I'm arriving just wait there shall you? Shu isn't even there yet anyway.

Priscilla: Doesn't matter! We all know you're the one always late.

Aiden sighs as he hangs up the phone and looks beyond him he sees a scenery of buildings, shops and jobs as cars pass by. He walks further and further until he reaches a park and goes over to a bench with a girl who suddenly shouted..

Priscilla: You're here! That was fast! Now we wait for Shu... Where even are they?

Aiden clears his ears as she was talking too loud then in the corner of his eyes he sees a guy on the distance waving over to them.

Shu: I'm here! I'm not late am I?

Aiden: Nah... Just made it in time so anyways why did you call us here anyway?

Aiden said as he looked over at Priscilla wondering why she called them here over in the first place.

Priscilla: I've always seen both of you working your butt off no rest, no sleep, no nothing! So I wanted to treat you all today to something nice.

Shu: That sounds great! I needed a break anyway I've been stumped from doing too many projects anyway.

Aiden sighs as he looks at the both of them and smiles. Priscilla smiles as she takes Shu's hands and drag him away.

Priscilla: Come on! Let's take a picture! To commemorate this memory.

Shu: Aish... No need to pull me you know?

Priscilla: Aiden! What are you waiting for?

Shu: Yeah what are you waiting for come on in the picture.

They both smiled at him as Priscilla held the camera over and front of her head and was able to take a picture while Aiden was out of it. Shu and Priscilla both laughed at the picture while Aiden finally snapped out of it.

Aiden: Hey! Delete that picture!

Priscilla: No way! You look real funny here wouldn't you agree Shu?

Shu: Yeah yeah he looks like a dork.

Aiden sighed as he caught up to both to them and asked.

Aiden: Yaya..... Anyways where are we going?

Priscilla & Shu: Where the world takes us!~ Hey! stop copying me! No you! Ugh!

Aiden looked at them both and shook his head but smiled softly and thought... "I hope this lasts forever."

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• ---→ Flashback Over °•°•°

Aiden held the picture in his arms and cradled it like a baby crumpling it a bit in the process as he felt his tears coming down his face softly. He sniffled and wiped his tears forgetting the pain from his wounds momentarily as he was more focused on the picture than anything right now, he slumped down the wall and started to sob.... His sobbing turned into wails of agony and pain... A once happy man looking miserable and lonely the blood seeping from his wounds serve as a reminder of what happened and what their friends did to help him survive... The question is even if he did survive this whole ordeal... Would he really be the same after this? Would he move on? Time will tell and only time will dictate what's coming on in the far future....

Aiden stopped crying as he fell asleep the coldness of his tears and the blood he lost lulling him to sleep... A peaceful face appears, a smiling face also appears, oh how this could have lasted forever.... Oh how this never happened.... Oh how time could reverse once more.... Oh ho-

Something is happening..............................?

It's not the end yet.
