Althea decided to have a chat with Lorraine in the form of doing her braids. That way the woman would be forced to sit still and Althea won't have to see her facial reactions for the next few hours. Lorraine had the hair packet already so she just needed to bring it over for Althea to twist it into her hair. 

The boys were all watching TV in her room. Lucas for whatever reason is there as well and Althea can say this is the most people she's ever had in here at one time. She's not sure if she likes it but...

'Having him like this ain't so bad...'

Her eyes skirt to Chan's head resting against her back. He's sitting in bed with her along with Felix and Changbin. He leans some of his weight against her back while watching the movie playing across the screen. She likes the feel of him against her and clearly his members are on board if the less-than-subtle smug glances are anything to go by. Not to mention that Felix has taken a dozen photos on the phone they were given. 

Though Lorraine has yet to stop staring at them in the floor-length mirror across the room. And she's pretty sure Lucas is staring death into Chan's side from his spot on the floor. 

Sighing, Althea starts parting Lorraine's hair with the sharp edge of the comb. "You wan ask somethin' right?"

"Ine know whether to ask if you straight or if you and Chris fuckin-"

"I KNEW IT!" Lucas shrieks jumping up.

"We all did," Jisung shrugs. 

"Oh my God..." Chan grumbles into her shoulder. "We didn't...fuck."

"Ine fucking no one except myself by staying with Leon." Lucas opens his mouth but Althea interrupts. "Lucas, everyone in here done know since yesterday, and ion need you do anything but Leon's abusing me-"

Before Althea can finish, the Hispanic pops up ready to storm out the room. Althea shoves Lorraine aside and tackles the male to the floor with a battle cry. Stray Kids collectively gasp and half the boys shoot up from their seats. The Hispanic screeches vile curses and threats in Spanish and Althea grunts as she tries to reel in the male's temper. Lucas is flailing his arms wildly and his elbow nearly socks Althea in the face.

"Te dije a hacer nada! Lucas-por favor!"

Chan's quick to get involved and gently removes Althea to subdue the Hispanic into submission. He sits on Lucas' back before he can get up and tugs his arms firmly behind. The male beneath squirms in place and Changbin makes his way over to hold down his upper body. Lucas is rendered completely immobile and Althea hates to admit how attractive Chan holding down her brother is. 

Seriously how many hours does he spend in the gym? She knew Changbin was ripped already--his arms intimidate her--but Chan's physique and display of strength is just....doing things. 

No wait, she's bleeding. Just stupid hormones. At least that's what she's telling herself. 

Althea quickly scurries to the bathroom to put on a pad and winces as her cramps start up. She grips her stomach tightly as she walks out the bathroom and Chan's gaze shifts to one of worry as he looks at her. Not once letting up on his grip on Lucas. The Hispanic still struggles uselessly against them. 

"괜찮아?" He shakes his head. "Are you alright?"

"Period," she states frankly. "Lucas, calm down. Then we can talk. Lorraine had to go through the same process."

"She ain't sayin' shit till you chill out buddy," Lorraine grumbles. 

After a long period of tense silence, Lucas finally tires himself out and Changbin lets up his hold. Chan only gets off once the Hispanic completely stops moving and helps him to his feet. Hyunjin darts to lock her door and Althea throws him a grateful smile. Lucas plops on the floor right where he stood and Chan sits next to Althea in case he tries to break off again. The others go back to watching the movie but Althea can tell they're listening in.
