"Baby." ChangBin mumbles softly as he squeezes my thigh lightly. I rub at my eyes and yawn before turning toward his voice. I jump the moment I look at him.

ChangBin squats down just outside my door as he looks up at me with gentle eyes. He smiles sweetly as he reaches out to cup my face.

"How'd you sleep?" ChangBin questions as he leans in to rest his forehead against mine.

"Could've been better, but not bad for being in the car." I admit softly as I close my eyes and bask in the feeling of him being so close.

"There's beds inside. You can sleep there if you want." ChangBin explains as he unbuckles me and takes my hand in his. He helps me onto my feet before leaning in to grab my bag from the backseat.

MinHo and the others must've already went inside. I must've been out cold. I usually wake up to loud noises—they are anything but quiet, so it should've woke me up. I link arms with ChangBin and wrap my fingers around his bicep as he shuts the door and leads me toward the large warehouse in the middle of nowhere.

"You can sleep longer or you can come with me. What do you wanna do, Baby? If you come with me you might get tired. I have to check all the doors to make sure they're sealed. We're getting a big shipment today and we have to make sure there's only one way in and out." ChangBin explains as we duck under the partially open garage door.

"I'm going with you. This place is kind of creepy." I mumble as I take in the large and fairly open room. In the back corner, there's rows of shelves covered in storage bins. I can only imagine what's inside. I have no intentions of asking either.

"You get used to it. It's just the lighting. If the doors were open it'd be more inviting, but there's been a few people poking around so we're trying to make it easier to keep an eye out for intruders." ChangBin nods toward a well built boy—maybe a few years older than us—watching the open door closely. Beside him sits a handgun of some sort and a knife. I swallow hard as reality starts to set in. Nearly everyone I can see has some sort of weapon on them—with the exception of ChangBin and the handful of the others I can put names to.

"Hey—do you think you can take the delivery? I have to go deal with HyunJin and MinHo. They're fighting." Chan groans as he places his hand on ChangBin's shoulder and squeezes.

"I'm not really in the best situation to do that." ChangBin glances over at me and Chan sighs.

"You're all I got. After you would be JiSung and that kid has never received a delivery. He wouldn't know what to do. Please—it should be an easy one. I got the call about it ten minutes or so and they said they triple checked everything before packing it up. It should all be there. It's not that big either. Three cars I think." Chan mumbles as he pulls his phone and glances down at it to verify.

"Fine. I'll do it. Where's JiSung? If I'm doing the delivery he has to check the doors." ChangBin groans and spins around to search the place for JiSung.

"Where's me? Why?" JiSung questions as he comes up behind Chan.

"Ah—you're on door duty. You have to check to make sure everything is sealed before the delivery gets here. They're leaving now, so they should be here in a few hours." ChangBin shifts his task off onto JiSung as Chan slips away to deal with MinHo and HyunJin.

"What—why? What about what I'm supposed to do?" JiSung looks at ChangBin completely baffled by the sudden shift of instructions.

"I don't know. I'm just doing what I was told. Pawn it off on someone else. Do you really think I want to deal with the delivery? I was hoping to get away with the doors. It's less stressful and safe." ChangBin snaps as he pulls me closer toward him.
