"What did you say?" Jaehyun asked. "I... remember it!" She smiled, looking up at her brother.
"I-It... it was Chans and my first day at a Leisure Park!" Jaehyun smiled at her. "I-It was the day before our first day... a-at school." "Yeah, you are right!" He answered and the girl looked back to the photo.
"And you came with us. You ditched your friend to come with us!" She chuckled.
"Well, I wanted to be with my siblings, seeing their eyes sparkle at their first day at a Leisure Park!" He answered.
"You... also made the photo... we were not able to do one, because appa was fooling around all the time, which made us laugh so hard. You scolded him with a smile, and sended him away, so we could take a picture!" She said.
"Really? I did that?" He said, surprised himself. He remembered, that their father was not there when they made the photo, but he forgot the reason himself.
"Yes! I was laughing so hard, that I never looked to the camera, even tho appa tried to make me, while fooling around." She remembered.
"You are right! Now that you say that? You were not feeling well at that day because of the rides. And you fell and hurted your knee when we were in the horror house. Appa wanted to make a picture as a memory, and said I should take it, so he can distract you. But you were crying, because you were hurt. Appa fooled around and tried to make you laugh with that!"
He remembered. Then the girl suddenly hugged her brother. "W-What..." he asked surprised. "I missed you so much...." the girl whispered to him.
Jaehyun looked to the right, looking at Mark, who only smiled happily at his older friend.
Then Jaehyun smiled back, and put his arms around his sister too, kissing her head, before he pulled Mark into the hug too.
Unknown to them, that they were watched from the outside. Not only by one, but two, independently from each other, and with different intentions.
"Hyung, you should eat breakfast now! We are downstairs." Mark said, taking the girls hand and pulling her outside.
Mark saw in the corner of his eyes, that their leader just entered his own room. He knew that she was still afraid of him too, so he was relieved, and pulled her downstairs excited.
"W-Wait! M-Mark! N-Not so fast!" She said. "Sorry, Seolya!" He chuckled, slowing down. "Soul..." she said.
He stopped, shocked, turning around. In the last second she could stop before she would run into his chest.
"Wahh! S-sorry!" She apologized. "What did you said?" He asked again, looking down at her.
She looked up at him, gulping. "I-I said... sorry..." "not that, pabo! Before that!" He said with a light smile.
"U-Uhmm.. I-I said.... you can call... me Soul?" She answered, now unsure, sounding more like a question she answered wrong.
Mark smiled brightly at her now. "Then, let's go, Soul! I wanna show you something!" He said, grabbing her hand again and pulling her downstairs, taking her by surprise.
"Hyung, where are you going?!" Jeno asked, when the two ran through the living room.
"Showing it to her!" He answered. The boys looked at each other, then let all the things down they were doing, running behind them.
The older ones, who were in the living room too, only looked behind the energetic kids, chuckling, wishing to be as young as them again.
Mark pulled the girl outside, to another door on the other side of the main building. It was smaller than the main building, they just came running out.
"W-what... is that...?" The girl asked, unsure of what to think or do.
Mark only smiled at her, not realising that the youngest all came behind them, looking at the two.
Mark turned around again, opening the heavy metal door and entered. "Come, Soul! You will like it!" The boys answered, pushing the girl inside softly. The girl looked around in awe.
"That... looks great!" "This is our free time place! Here we can do what ever we want! Our rules! And not hyungs!"
"That is why he let it build. He knew, we need our free time too. Away from the things and work in the main house. Being the kids we are, still living out our childhood."
"But... you are... gangsters..." "Auu... that hurts!" YangYang said. "She looked down. "I-I am sorry..." "Tecnically we are not, Soul. You will see! Once we introduce you to everything, you'll understand!" Mark answered, which made her look at him.
"We are not wanted by the police, Soul!" Jeno answered too, so she looked at him too. "Hyung tries everything that we don't get caught, so he barely takes us with him in dangerous situations. So that we can still live our lifes as teenagers." He continued to explain with a smile.
"That's why you came to school.." she concluded. "Well... kinda... it was a bit more complicated.." Renjun answered. She looked around again. "So... this... is just for you? To be free?" She asked, looking at the boys. "Well, yes! Tecnically it's only for us!" Jisung confirmed.
"And now... for you too!" Chenle said. "W-what?" "You are our age too! And we really like you! You are nice and I am sure you fit in here very well! And Sungchan and hyung are your brothers which automatically makes you family now too!" YangYang answered.
"And it is a place for you to hide, if you are afraid of hyung again. You can always come here! The hyungs barely come here, mostly only to get us, so no one disturbs you!" Jaemin added.
"Well... sometimes the hyungs come when they wanna play kicker or pool too, but that's rare."
The girl smiled at them, being touched by their words. Usually, she would not believe it on the first sight, but she felt, that she could trust them. They were treating her nice and her twin brother confirmed their kind behaviour!
"BOYS!" Someone yelled. "Oh noooo! What now!" The boys whined. "W-What's wrong?" The girl asked. "Guys?" The door to the house opened, revealing a tall figure.
"Hyung!" Mark exclaimed. "Hey! What are you doin'?" He asked, smiling. "Showing Soul around!" Jeno answered with a smile.
"I am sorry to interrupt it, but Taeyong wants me to get all of you together." "Why? Did something happened?" Jaemin asked, surprised. Johnny shook his head. "Training! He said we need to train harder again...." he said. The boys whined again.
"Hyunngggggg! We just welcomed Soul! We can't just leave her alone hereeee!" Haechan pouted. "Hyung, can't she join us? She would feel boredalone here..." Jisung asked, looking at Haechan.
First, all eyes went to the youngest, then all as they were one to the oldest of them, looking at him with hopefull eyes.
The oldest gasped for air, before he blowed it out frustrated. "I can't say it, I don't give the orders!" He raised his hands in surrender. The girl looked between the boys, not understanding what they were talking about.
"HYUNGGGGG!" Chenle yelled again, making the girl flich strongly, before he and Jisung ran away.
"Oh no, not again...." Jeno and Jaemin cursed again, running behind the two, YangYang and Renjun followed as well.
The others just stayed in the small house, looking confused behind the boys. "Come on, let's go!" Johnny said, pushing the boys out.
"Are you coming too?" He asked the girl, who was still standing in the middle of the room.
She looked at the door, seeing the tall male holding his hand out for her. She exited the house hesitating.
