" how do i handle you? ooh. "

Yeji's POV
astonishingly, the last two days in the luxurious residence have been quite pleasant. noticeably, haewon and san had gotten closer alongside jennie and wooyoung in a "friendly" manner (despite their childish bickering) ; they were almost always together. for me, i spent my time with mingi who was a whole softie the moment our eyes met.

Being the cheerful optimist he was, there was never a second I wanted to be away. Posing with cute gestures and coming to me for affection 24/7 made me almost develop attraction to him. Almost.

The reminder that we were not home and taken hostage by gang members kicked my senses back to reality. They didn't care about us, they just needed us to do their dirty work for them, right..?

Before I could dwell in my assumptions even further, a specific knock met my door. It was obviously Mingi.

Arising from my desk, I opened the door which revealed a handsome man, dressed in a oversized hoodie and trousers. His fiery hair being at variance with his fashion.

A jovial smile shone from his pearly whites as he entered, wrapping his muscular arms around me for a bear hug. Yearningly, Mingi slammed the door with his foot, while pushing me down onto the bed; still using the same strength to cuddle me.

"What's the occasion?" I asked, grinning at his puppy eyes.

"What? Can I not see my favourite person?" he replied sassily.

I was his favourite person?

My cheekbones held a cheesy smirk throughout as I started to rub his back. There was something so mesmerising about the way he spoke.

An hour had passed as we awoke from our slumber, unmoving from our body's conjoining. Dinner hour had been skipped and I could feel the hunger booming in both of our bellies.

"Guess we are just as starving as the other." Mingi whispered, lifting his weight off mine.

"Where are you off to?" I questioned with a tint of sadness.

"To see what's in kitchen." he replied.

Wait!

His giant figure now halted, hands gripped on the front of the teal bed frame.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot."

Edginess crept up my spine to what I was about to ask. A serious expression was presented, but on the inside I was legitimately shitting myself.

"Do you care about me?"

Quietude was only contemporary prior to Mingi already delivering me with such a passionate kiss. Every feeling was so dominant that the answer didn't even need to be said in words. Drifting away momentarily, he took a profound glance at my facial features.

"Don't ever ask me that again." he demanded, embracing me once again before getting up.
"Also, last one down to the kitchen is a dumbass."

Mingi spun with cosmic speed and bolted out, leaving me only minor seconds behind him.

Losing was one thing but having the title of a "dumbass" was just shameful.

Wooyoung's POV
another classic day of no assignments went by and it was just miserable. steaming water eased my irritation, relaxing the intensity of my compact muscles. humming a well known song by the boy group ateez, ♪ tell me who you who am i ♪

Quarrelling from the oldest and leader could be heard directly through the shallow walls as I shook my head in mortification - they never stop. Concluding my evening bathe, I grabbed the nearest towel and wrapped it around my torso. In contact with the mirror, I peered at some fainted cuts and injuries spread out on my upper chest; our rivals were gaining brains and even more brawn, but who doesn't love a challenge?

Dressing in my casual style of baggy attire, I left the bathroom to be greeted by a snoring female rested upon my mattress. Jennie Kim.

She looked so peaceful. That was until a slick strike was inflicted on her head. The wavy haired girl awoke in anguish, arms up and blocking.

"What the fuck was that for?" she raged.

"Get the fuck out of my room, who are you to come in here and just start sleeping on my bed!?" I yelled, optics now dark and filled with anger.

Water sparkled in Jennie's eyes as she murmured something under her breath and left.

From the beginning, she was just a pain in the ass. Guilt did overcome me vastly after, so I decided I would apologise tomorrow; rough doings were solely not the correct solution. Switching the lamp off, I hopped into bed and started to doze into beauty sleep, the perfume of jasmine and lemongrass clasped to my pillow from my previous visitor.

I'm sorry Jennie. I really am.
