If it wasn’t for Seungcheol’s strong grip you would’ve collapsed on the floor, gasping as it suddenly dawns on you. Your roommate hadn’t come back.

“It’s okay, sweetheart, it’s okay, I’ve got you.” Seungcheol turns you round in his grip, your panic-stricken face now in his chest. “It’s going to be alright.”

“Ch-cheol, Minhyuk didn’t come back last night. My roommate, h-he always comes back.” you grip the fabric of his jumper tighter in your hands,

“We don’t know that he didn’t just stay with his friends,___, it could just be a ploy to scare you.” Cheol looks down at you, gently caressing your hair, “We just need to report this to the police and then get you somewhere safe.”

You look up at him with teary eyes, “How did they g-get in?”

“I don’t know, love...this could be a prank? Maybe your roommate is trying to prank you.” He suggests,

“Maybe he took Min’s key.” you sniffle, letting him lead you to the sofa,

“Sit down, love, I’ll call the police and we’ll get what you need.”

“What do you mean?” you brush your hair back with your palm,

“The safest place for you to be is my house. No one’s going to hurt you when there are thirteen men ready to protect you.” he reassures, “I know it might not be ideal, but I can’t think of anywhere safer.” 

When you’ve dropped the letter at the police station, Seungcheol drives you straight to his house - all your necessary items in the back of his car.

“A-are you sure you have enough room for me?” 

“Well, we might have to share my bed for the first few days, but we have an attic that we can convert into a bedroom. It’s quite nice and cosy up there so you’d have your own space.”

“But, Cheol, that’s way too much, I’m only staying until they find out who it is.”

“Don’t worry, love, we were going to turn it into a spare bedroom anyway.” he smiles,

Your teeth bite gently at the skin of your lip, anxiety written all over your face as the car pulls into the driveway of Seungcheol's home.

It was only the other day you were here, uncomfortable and scared. You didn't know how you were going to face the rest of the boys, since they seemingly didn't like you, well...apart from Joshua. You were hoping to see him again.

"Don't be nervous, princess, I promise they're not as cold as they seem." Cheol smiles softly at you before you both climb out of the car.

Leading you up to the front door, you can make out some keen eyes peering at you through an upstairs window. Noticing your acknowledgement, the face vanishes.

"Come in."

You step, again, into his home, now realising how large it is, and how chaotic (by the sounds of yelling upstairs). A familiar, frustrated voice can be heard in the distance before Joshua comes running down the stairs. "___!"

"Hi." You smile shyly,

"Josh, I was wondering if you could introduce ___ to the boys, she's going to be staying with us for a while." Seungcheol places his hand on your back in consolation,

"Yeah, of course, let's go." Joshua beams, rushing you up the stairs, "Can I ask why you're staying with us? Did something happen?"

"Oh, someone broke into my apartment while I was asleep and left a note. Kind of a stalker situation." You nod, letting him guide you down the hallway to a closed door.

"Ah, well, you'll be safe here." He glances at the door before knocking on it, "Mingyu?"

A strange growling answer comes back through the door and Joshua opens it, peeking his head in before opening it fully.

You follow him in, eyes darting to a long body sprawled on the bed, tufts off brown hair perked in every direction.

"Mingyu." Joshua repeats, watching as the giant rolls over. The man makes a loud shriek before throwing the book in his hands onto the other side of the room and jumping out of the bed at lightning speed - only to wack his head on the ceiling. Joshua sighs heavily, "Oh my god."

"Are you okay?" You ask, looking up at his giant figure,

"Yes, yes, I'm fine." He smiles, massaging the side of his head.

"___, this is Mingyu. Mingyu, ___."

"Nice to meet you." You both say,

"He's the tallest of the group, and he's also a big baby." Josh grins,

"Huh?" Mingyu mumbles, still rubbing at his head frantically,

"Anyway, onto the next one." Josh leads you back out of the room and toward another (one filled with screaming and yells and god knows what else). He doesn't knock this time, just opens the door and let's me see the chaos ensuing. "___, meet Soonyoung, Chan and Seungkwan."

They all freeze in their positions, looking completely startled. Seungkwan suddenly jumps into action, making his way over to you, bowing, "It is a pleasure to meet you."

“You too.” You smile, pleasantly surprised by the man’s manners. However, Soonyoung takes the opportunity to hurl something at the back of his head - narrowly missing your own.

“Ya!” Joshua’s face becomes the epitome of anger as he turns to face the younger. Even though his annoyance is minor, you can’t help but form goosebumps in his suddenly cold presence. “Apologise to her!”

“Sorry.” Soonyoung says, a slight pout on his lips.

“I’m sorry, ___, they have a lot of energy.” Joshua frowns, rushing you out of the room and closing the door behind him. He quickly guides you to another room, knocking and receiving a grunt from whoever’s inside. When he opens the door, you spot a clearly distracted (by his phone) man lying down on his bed. “Vernon. Meet ___.”

Without glancing in your direction, he sends a small wave...clearly uninterested.

Joshua smiles sweetly at you before taking you back downstairs. You look at him questioningly, “What do you guys do?”

“Not much to be honest.” He chuckles, “Not to boast, but we have quite a lot of money so working is optional to us. Some of us have part-time jobs and others don’t.”

“Oh, okay.” You were quite surprised at his answer, “Why did you choose to live all the way out here?”

He pauses for a moment, carefully thinking over his answer, “We just liked it...and we’ve all been friends for a long time so it made sense to live together. We’re like brothers, really.”

You’re met by several eyes when you enter the kitchen.

“___, this is Jun, Jeonghan, Dokyeom and Minghao.” he introduces, “Guys, this is ___.”

“Nice to meet you!” Dokyeom beams, a huge smile taking up most of his face. The others just nod, Jeonghan offering a small smile too.

“Nice to meet you too.” You say shyly, aware of the men’s eyes on you still,

“Are Jihoon and Wonwoo in the living room?” Joshua asks, Minghao responds with a nod, and you soon find yourself in the living room with two other rather unfriendly looking figures.

“Jihoon.” He motions to the smaller man you’d encountered before, and then to the rather lean one sitting on the opposite sofa. “Wonwoo.”

You smile back at Josh and he chuckles.

“Some of them aren’t the friendliest, but they’ll warm up to you in no time.” He grins. 

You have to say you admire Joshua for his optimism and warmth. 

“Why don’t we go and see how Seongcheol’s getting on? I think he brought your stuff inside.”
