[Chapter 30]

"A party?" Gabs asked.

"Yeah.. Ji Woo's brothers are coming, and they want to meet everyone, so.." I chuckled awkwardly.

"Who do you mean by everyone?" Kara asked, raising an eyebrow as she shuffled uncomfortably.
It was quite a warm day, yet she wore jeans and a cardigan.
Gabs just wore plaid overalls over a plain white shirt.
"Well.. like you guys.. Jeongin, Hyunjin, Seungmin, Felix- all their friends.. uhm.. and Jungkook and his friends.." I said.

"Ah.. I'm sorry, I don't think I can make it." Kara chuckled in response.
Ji Woo came up behind me, frowning towards Kara.

"It's not going to be a party without you, though. Plus we haven't seen you in ages! What were you up to, anyway?" Ji Woo asked.

"Ah.. well I was in the hospital for a week or so.. I caught a bad stomach flu.. I think I had accidentally given it to Gabs, too." Kara said.
"Well I'm glad you're better- where do you have to go tonight, then?" Ji Woo pressured.

"Oh my grandparents are in town- they've been on holiday, see.. so I was going to go visit them." Kara responded.

"Can't you leave it until another night?"

"I haven't seen them in weeks, so no."

"Surely you can, cmon-"

"Ji Woo that's enough. If she doesn't want to come she doesn't have to. I told you it was a bad idea." I grumbled.
Ji Woo went silent, before stalking off to Taehyungs table.

Felix came and sat next to Kara, Hyunjin trailing behind him.
Jisung came as well, with Seungmin and Jeongin at his heels.
They all came and sat around the table.

"Sorry, we were held back." Jeongin said.
"Ah it's alright. It's only been like a minute." I shrugged.

"So.. Y/N's throwing a party." Gabs said.
"With who??" Hyunjin asked.
"All of us.. and the others.. and Jungkook and his friends." Gabs said with a slight nod.

"Well, Ji Woo's throwing it.. her brothers want to meet everyone sooo.." I grumbled.
"Ahh.. I'm not sure.. we might have something to do tonight.. I can ask Bang Chan.." Jisung chuckled, pulling out his phone and sending Bang Chan a message.

"Don't feel too pressured to come. It really doesn't matter.. although, I really don't want to be left alone with Jungkook and his friends.. they're strange." I said, looking away.
"You'll have Ji Woo."

"She'll be talking to her brothers and introducing her boyfriend to him, if they're coming." I shrugged.

"Are you going to be drinking?" Kara questioned.

"Well, she will be. I'll probably just stick to water. Alcohol tastes disgusting." I scoffed.

Kara just glanced at Felix, before looking back to me.
"I'll be there for half the time. I'm sure my grandparents won't mind." She shrugged.

"Alright.. you all know the address. Come at 7 if you're coming. It doesn't really matter too much."

"Yes it does, Y/N. Get the girls drunk, then you can learn about them, and 'Stray Kids' and BTS."

The day passed, and then the boys were filing into the house.
A certain ring of doorbells sent Ji Woo to the door.

"Ah! My lovely brothers Haneul and Do Yun!! Come in!!" She smiled.
They glanced around, just glaring at me, before giving Ji Woo a hug.

"I thought you said she wouldn't be here." Do Yun mumbled.
"Get used to her. Y/N's my friend and my roommate, so suck it up." She hissed.
Haneul was busy looking to all the boys in the room, who crowded the couches and kitchen.
Haneul and Do Yun were merely over a year and a half apart. Haneul had his hair cut into a wolf cut, a dark brown, almost black, similar to that of Ji Woo. His eyes were shaped like hers, although his nose was slightly crooked, and his lips were thinner. He had a defined jawline, and he was quite tall.

Do Yun had his fringe split into bangs, his hair only just reaching his shoulders. His hair was a deep black, and his eyes were a paler brown than his siblings. His jawline was sharp, and his body was more muscular that Haneul. He was a bit shorter, and his nose was a bit smaller.

But a lot of people mistook them for twins.
They always seemed to be together, so really it makes sense.
Bang Chan was sitting next to me on the couch, as I laid my head back, eyes closed.

"You alright Y/N?" He asked.
"Mhm.." I mumbled.

Then Taehyung and friends arrived.

Taehyung stood with Ji Woo, as she showcased him off to her siblings.

In the corner, I saw Kara tense as Jimin walked through the door.
He smiled to himself, walking over almost instantly.

"Hello Kara.. how's it going! Are you feeling better now?" He asked, a grin plastered on his face.
"After you gave me that hell, yes, I'm doing lovely." She grimaced, standing up and walking off.

Jimin followed.

Jungkook came up to me, glancing at Bang Chan beside me, before focusing on my eyes.
"Hey Y/N, sorry about being gone for so long! How have you been??" He asked.

"I've been doing just fine, thank you." I smiled, feeling it falter on itself.
I was never the best actor, really.

Time passed, drinks were drunk.

Let's just say everyone was a big tipsy.

Jimin kept following Kara like a lost puppy.
They disappeared off into the bathroom, and that was all I heard of them for awhile.

"Look, Jimin, I'm not interested in your offer. So please leave me alone." Kara grumbled.
"You saw the board though, didn't you? Don't you want to know why you and Gabs were on there?" He asked.
Kara glared him down. "I would, but you can lure me away another day. I'm not in the mood to deal with you, or any of your group. In all honesty I'm sick of you." She scoffed, turning to leave the bathroom.

Jimin pulled his gun out, pointing it against her head.
"You won't shoot. You're not an idiot. Now what do you want?" Kara said, her voice cold.

"I just want you to listen to me. My whole group has your best interest in mind." Jimin started.
Kara just grabbed his wrist in her hand, squeezing it hard.
"If you really had my best interest in mind, you would have left me alone by now!" She huffed, starting to leave the room.

"Y/N's parents were in the biggest mafia in Sydney at the time. It was the same branch that chased after your parents for years. I wouldn't be surprised if they were involved in the murder as well."
