Chapter 14: Concerns
"She looks like have a lot in mind."

Y/N sat at the kitchen table staring off. She's not the one who was training Treasure at the moment because she was tired. Mr. Shin was also out of town so she hired another trainer and unfortunately, the trainer brought his daughter along.

She stood up to the back field to check them up. She opened the door to the field and watch them training. She looked around to search for the trainer but he was nowhere to be found. 

She was about to get inside when she saw the daughter was flirting with her fiance. She then saw Jihoon and Junkyu ran towards her. "There you are! You should go and get that leech off Hyunsuk." Junkyu said. "I can't even stand her high pitched voice anymore." They groaned.

"Gather all the rest and go clean up. After that wait for me in the meeting room. I will deal with it." Gesturing at the two. Y/N walked towards the girl and Hyunsuk. She just stood near them waiting for being noticed.

Hyunsuk turned to Y/N pleading her with his eyes to get him out of the situation. "I think that's enough for today." He awkwardly laugh trying to push her hands away. The girl squealed and grabbed his hand. "No! It's not--"

"Hands off him." Y/N came forward and slapped her hands away. The girl turned to her scoffing, "Miss Y/N, why are you here?" She asked crossing her arms on her chest.

Y/N frowned. "This is my house, and you are in my territory." She gritted. "So, should I bow to you like a princess?" The girl twirled the strands of her hair while chewing her gum staring at Y/N. Her eyes twitched, she was about to slap the annoying face but Hyunsuk held her back.

Soon the trainer was back from the toilet. "Miss Y/N, I've seen you met my daughter." He greeted and Y/N only reply him with a timid smile. "It would be lovely if your daughter have her eyes off my man." She sneered glaring at his daughter.

His face turned into red in shame grabbing her daughter harshly. "How dare you!" He whispered yelling at her daughter who only have her head down. He turned to Y/N, "I apologize Miss! It's such a disgrace." He bowed. "Since the training ended, I should leave." He dragged her daughter out from the mansion.

Both of them let go of each other. Hyunsuk cleared his throat, "Thank you for getting me out. I tried to but she keep coming to me." He rubbed his nape. Y/N let out a small smile, "It's not a big deal and thank you for bringing me upstairs when I fell asleep last night." She said looking at him.

"Now go change and meet me in the meeting room. I have something to talk." She ordered then Hyunsuk walked into the mansion. Y/N soon followed afterwards straight to the meeting room.

She sat at the head of the table with her hands on her chin. She was staring off again making them look at her questioning what's running in her head.

"She looks like have a lot in mind." Doyoung voiced out trying not to disturb Y/N's thoughts. The 11 of them didn't talk but use some sloppy hand signs towards each other. They didn't dare to make a voice.

Few minutes later Hyunsuk came in with fresh clothes. "Why are you all silent?" He asked. They all pointed at Y/N who was still staring off not noticing Hyunsuk's presence.

"She have been staring off for awhile." Jihoon said gesturing to her. Y/N sat on the remained seat that was near her. He stared at her trying to check if she noticed him. He then waved his hand in front of her face but still none of reaction.

He sighed, "I might regret this." He said to the members making them looked at him questioning. He took a deep breath before slammed his hands on the table. All of them jumped in shock including Y/N.

Her face turned into annoyed looking at Hyunsuk. "You should have other ways to snap me out." She gritted her teeth at him. All of them had hand on their chest in shock.

Y/N sighed then straighten herself. "I have few things to say." She mentioned making them looked at her anticipating what is the news.

"All of you will not be training anymore." She said making their face turned into sour. "You are accepted into our clan. So welcome to the Lee Empire." She announced making them go wild.

Y/N watched them cheer happily. "Why did our training end?" Hyunsuk asked her. "I kind of persuade my father to not train you guys. Surprisingly he agreed. All of you already good enough, so why need long time training?" She exclaimed. "It's just wasting time." She turned to the others.

"Second thing is I need your help." She stated making them sat back down. "I need your help to find the antidote for this killing drug and this tattoo skull." She passed each of them a file that contains information. "Please immediately update and inform me if you found something."

"It's not a problem! We will help you!" They said. "If you say so, you can start now." She said making the stood up and bowed at her.

"Thank you Y/N, we will work hard!" Junkyu responded with the others followed before going out of the room with happy faces.

Hyunsuk was the only one remained with Y/N. "Why are you not going out?" She asked. "Why are you not going out?" He asked her back. She just sighed. "It's just... I have a lot in mind." She stated. He softly grabbed her hands while she just stared at him blankly. "If you need any help, you know that you can count on me, and the others of course." He chuckled.

She smiled at him and her eyes diverted to their rings. "Do you think this engagement will work out?" She voiced. Hyunsuk caressed her hands and smiled at her softy.

"We will work this out together."
