Maybe, Just Maybe, I'll Be Okay Here

I finally woke up about three or so hours later, very confused and bewildered. I slowly sat up and looked around the room, trying to get any sort of hint as to where I was and whose room this was. My eyes finally landed on Doyoung at the end of the bed, he seemed to have fallen asleep waiting for me to wake up. I watched for a while, as his chest gently rose and fell while a few light snores emitted from his slightly parted lips. I sat there for a good period of time, just studying his features. He had a sharp jaw, a soft nose, and beautifully shaped lips. His black hair had fallen in front and was almost touching his eyes. He looked much more peaceful at this moment than when I had first met him just a few hours ago, granted he had probably been shot at and hadn't planned to be. I shifted a little to get a closer look and he stirred in his sleep, so I stopped moving. He slowly sat up and looked at me after rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"I see you're awake, do you need anything, or do you just want me to explain what's going on and show you your room?" he questioned and gave me quite the cold look.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe for you to lighten up a little first." I raised my brow and crossed my arms.

He smirked and got closer, "do you want me to tell you what's going on or not?"

I looked him straight in the eyes "get to it then, Doyoung."

"I'm sure you guessed it by now princess, but we're in a mafia. We are the top of the top here in the region. Our rivals made a hit tonight on us, something we had accounted for, but didn't think would happen so soon. You, unfortunately, got caught in between. But, thanks to Jaehyun and myself, you're safe here" he explained as he stood up and hovered over me.

I'm not sure if he was trying to intimidate me by standing over me like this or seduce me, but either way it wasn't working. I leaned back on my arms and looked at him.

"So, you're mafia huh? How did such a pretty boy get wrapped up in this business anyway?" I questioned, maybe a little too soon as his look got cold once again.

"That I can't tell you until I can trust you completely, now let me show you to your room. Clean up and change, then come down for dinner with everyone. It's late, but I don't allow actual guests to go untaken care of," he told me and offered his hand to me gracefully. I took it and let him "help" me up and show me to the room that will be mine for who knows how long. As long as I can shower and change into some comfier clothes, I'll be fine. Who knows, maybe we'll eventually get along?

He guided me to a door down the hall and opened it for me, "all yours. Take your time, there's everything you need in the closet and ensuite bathroom. If you require anything, let one of the guys know, they'll go get it for you," he finished and gestured to go inside the bedroom.

I walked in and went straight for the closet as he shut the door behind me, how polite. I picked out some sweats and a baggy t-shirt that looked like it would fit me, then I headed into the bathroom. Holy fuck was this bathroom nice, full on standing shower, huge vanity with a massive mirror, and a bathtub. I wish my bathroom in my apartment was this large and exquisite. I started the shower, stripped down and set my dirty clothes in a neat pile in the corner for now. I got in the shower and tried to relax and just let the warm water run over me for a few minutes. I used whatever shampoo and conditioner was in there, not my usual brand, but the ingredients didn't seem too awful. After washing up, I threw on the clothes I picked out and put my dirty ones in the hamper in the closet. My stomach decided for me what I wanted to do next, and that was eat. Doyoung did tell me I should come down for dinner, so I guess I will. Someone's got to know how to cook in this household right?

I walked downstairs tentatively and found the kitchen, by the sound of several male voices talking about food and other random shit. I peeked around the doorway to see how many people were in there before I decided whether I would go in there or find somewhere else to chill out for a while. There were only three of them present, a really tall black-haired fellow, one a few inches shorter with brown, bouncy hair, and another one who was a little shorter with a shorter hair cut than the other two. The one with the bouncy brown hair turned towards the doorway and caught me watching, I gently smiled at him and started to move away from the doorway when he spoke up, wanting me to come into the kitchen with them.

"Oh hi there, you hungry? We're making dinner and Doyoung told us you'd come soon. Come in, we won't do anything to you I promise," he spoke softly and walked closer to me. I nodded and stepped into the kitchen with them. I watched the other two cook or attempt to. The shorter one seemed to actually know what he was doing.

"Would you like some after it's done? Taeil is making a new pasta dish," He smiled and gestured to the shorter one of the three. I nodded and noted that his name is Taeil.

"I'm Jungwoo by the way," he said and cocked his head to the side like a puppy. I swear I could have melted into a puddle over how cute he was right then and there, but I decided to keep my composure and smile.

"I'm y/n, nice to meet you," I said and turned my attention back to the other men in the room.

"I'm Johnny, we're happy to have you as our guest for a while," the taller one told me and flashed a smile while he attempted to help Taeil cook. I shivered when I felt a cool breeze from the air conditioning, Jungwoo took notice and hugged me.

"Are you cold? I'll give you my hoodie if you want it," he offered and looked down into my eyes. I couldn't tell if he was just being nice or flirting with me.

"Umm, no I'll be fine," I gave him a shy smile and tried to look anywhere else but his eyes.

"Alright, but if you need anything let me know, okay?" he asked and guided me to one of the many living areas located in the mansion, this one being the closest to the kitchen and front door.

Doyoung watched Jungwoo and I from his chair and glared at Jungwoo over his cup that he was drinking out of. I caught a glimpse of his glare, but I paid no attention and sat down on the sectional couch in the corner next to Jungwoo with some of the other guys. I grabbed a pillow and held it to my chest. I had decided not to put a bra on for comfort, but now that I thought about it, that may not be the best idea around a bunch of twenty-something guys. Doyoung smiled softly and watched me intently while trying to make it seem he was invested in his novel instead. I never took him as a novel reader, nor a reader at all. Although, I did have to admit, the glasses he was wearing looked pretty cute on him.

I looked at Jungwoo and pouted, "When's dinner going to be done?"

"I'll go check on it angel, I'll be right back," he got up and smiled at me. "Your pout is adorable quit it,"

I gave him a cheeky smile and turned my attention to the show the other guys were watching, then to the guys themselves. I recognized Jaehyun of course, who flashed me his beautiful smile with his dimples. The rest I was unsure of, they were all quite handsome, some were louder than others. I kept quiet in my realm of the couch and leaned against the side. After a few minutes, I somehow started to fall asleep even with how loud some of the boys were. They might be mafia, but at the end of the day they're just normal boys. Doyoung walked over in my direction, and they got a little quieter as they realized I was falling asleep. He gently shook me awake and pushed my hair out of my face. He came off as a dick in the beginning, but he's pretty soft underneath, at least right now.

"Dinner's ready princess, let's get you some and get you to bed" he spoke softly and sat next to me. Normally I'm not one to be talked to this way, almost as if I'm a child. I'd usually give an attitude and express how I'm an adult, but I was too tired to put up a fight. I just nodded and looked at him through half closed eyes.

"I'll bring you some along with water to drink, I'll be right back, ok?" He got up and disappeared into the kitchen, while the other boys looked at each other in shock.

"I've never seen Doyoung so gentle with someone, what was that?" one questioned.

"You're right Haechan, he's oddly gentle with her. He was defensive when he carried her in and he stayed with her while she was passed out. Something's up, he better not be thinking of just fucking her." Jaehyun stated and put a small blanket over my lap.

"I'll make sure you're taken care of and not hurt here, no matter what it takes" he said and gave me a small smile as Doyoung came back with my dinner and water. Jaehyun helped me sit up properly so I could eat without choking and Doyoung gently gave me the bowl and sat next to me, making sure I at least ate some of it before falling asleep. I got through about half the bowl of pasta before I started falling asleep sitting up, so Jaehyun took the bowl and cup of water while Doyoung picked me up and carried me up to my room. I was too tired to even think about using my legs or arguing with Doyoung that I have legs and they work; they clearly were not going to work very well right now. He put me in bed under the covers and turned off the light before leaving to let me sleep, well into the afternoon the next day.
