Chapter 8: New Home

July 29th, 10:25am

I'm surprised I woke up before noon considering how late I fell asleep last night. I rubbed my eyes and rolled over to lay on my side, facing the door. I looked at the door tiredly, letting out a soft yawn.

Knocking sounded at my door and I wrapped the blanket around me to cover myself properly. I looked like a burrito and my hair was messy but who cares at this point? I'm at a fucking mafia gang's headquarter mansion thing. How I look is the least of my concerns. "Come in!"

The door slowly opened. Hyunjin came in and gave a soft smile when he saw me. "Good morning, Seong-hye." He was holding a few large bags. Probably shopping bags or something. He sets them down on the armchair in the corner of the room.

"Morning," I croaked. I was too tired to speak really.

"The bags are filled with clothes and some other stuff you might need. Don't know your size so I estimated a small to medium size. Your room doesn't have a bathroom, so feel free to use the bathroom down the hall to take a shower and freshen up. Alright?" I nodded and he left the room, closing the door behind him.

I slowly sat up and pushed the covers off of me. I walked over to the door and locked it so no one could walk in by accident. I look into the bags and see some clothing, a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and other essentials. I smiled at how nice they were being but I had to remind myself that I couldn't trust them just yet.

I found a comfortable baggy shirt and some shorts and put them on. They weren't tight or revealing so I felt comfortable enough to wear them while I walked around the mansion for now. I grabbed a hairbrush I found and brushed my hair in front of the vanity mirror.

After fixing myself up, I took the toothbrush, towel, and toothpaste, and headed down the hall to the bathroom to freshen up and take a shower.

- ,, 10:50am

I was in my room, looking at all the clothes they'd gotten me. They were mostly just casual lounge clothes that I could wear around the mansion. I'm guessing they didn't expect me to be leaving the mansion to go out anywhere any time soon.

"Seong-hye, come down to eat breakfast!" Han said through the door. My stomach growled at the thought of finally eating some food after such a long night. I left my room and Han lead me downstairs to the kitchen area.

There was a black marble kitchen island, a large deeply dark brown table made of wood, and a black marble counter separating the dining area and the kitchen. Seungmin was cooking something while the rest of the members sat around the large table, chatting and giggling with each other. I didn't see Chan anywhere though.

"The clothes fit you." Hyunjin looked at me happily and I sat between him and Changbin. Han sat across from me next to Lee Know.

"Thank you for the clothes. They're very comfortable." I thanked him politely and Hyunjin nodded.

I looked around the table and the rest of the kitchen area. I thought to myself the entire time we waited for the food to be ready. Why are they being nice? Should I really trust them? Is the food poisoned? No, the food smells too good to be poisoned. I shook the thoughts in my head away as Seungmin came to the table with a big platter of french toast. He set a bottle of syrup down next to it and left a bowl of fruits. Tangerine pieces, apple slices, strawberries, raspberries, and a few cherries.

"Seong-hye, do you want coffee?" Seungmin asked me.

I nod in response. I could really use some coffee right now.

Seungmin nodded with a genuine smile before heading back to the kitchen.

"Ah, the leader is finally awake." Lee Know spoke, looking over at Chan who looked pretty sleepy. His hair wasn't combed or straightened yet which showed off his very curly hair. But it looked like he had already showered. He was wearing a black t-shirt and some black shorts. I don't know why but I was mesmerized by the way he looked.

Changbin helped fix my plate for me and set it down in front of me. I thanked him and looked down at my plate. French toast with syrup and some strawberries. It looked pretty yummy and it smelled good too. I haven't had a breakfast as good as this in a long time because I was always lazy with making food in the morning. I usually just ate whatever I could find when I arrived at work in the morning.

"Here's your coffee." Seungmin set down my coffee which was in a dark blue mug right next to my plate.

"Thank you... Sir?" I wasn't sure if I should call the guys by their names or not.

Seungmin walked over to his seat, sitting down next to Felix and Jeongin. "You can call us by our names casually, you know. Or do you not know our names? We can introduce ourselves." I nodded even though I already knew their names. I'd rather have them introduce themselves to me. Chan looked at me in an amused way.

"Chan should go first. He's the leader after all." Jeongin said happily. I nodded and took a sip of my coffee. He sighed and took a piece of strawberry into his mouth before beginning to speak.

"I am the leader of Stray Kids, also known as SKZ. You may call me Christopher, Bang Chan, or Chan." He ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm also the oldest here. I turn 25 in a few months on October 3rd." That was my birthday.

Everyone turned their heads to Lee Know. I took a bite of my French toast and another sip of my coffee. Lee Know cleared his throat and softened the stern expression on his face. "I'm Lee Know, or Minho if you prefer. I'm the second oldest and I'm Chan's head assistant. That's all you need to know, Seong-hye." I nodded. He still gave me such a cold vibe. I was wondering when he wouldn't be making me have goosebumps every time he spoke.

Changbin cleared his throat. "I'm Seo Changbin, the third oldest. I'm the head bodyguard and probably the buffest man you'll ever meet," he said in a boasting manner, flexing his muscles.

Hyunjin scoffs. "Egotistic Changbin... Hwang Hyunjin is my name. It's obvious I'm the fourth oldest. I'm sure I'm prettier than most girls, but don't be jealous Hye-ah," he joked. He wasn't wrong, he was very pretty. "I'm in charge of weaponry, especially guns."

I nodded and everyone looked at Han now. Han was stuffing his face with food and tried to chew and swallow quickly before speaking. "I am Han Jisung, part of the younger members of the group. I work on information, interrogating, and coding. And I'm also a gentleman." He winked at me. I could already tell he was the comedian and flirt in the group.

Next was Felix who took a sip of orange juice before speaking. "My name is Felix, I'm 22 and I love baking. I make the best brownies here." I found that pretty interesting. You don't usually expect gang members to bake brownies. Usually they have servants or something. "I'm also the geek here. I make a lot of the gadgets and devices the gang uses and I can hack into things like police calls." Well that's a problem for the police.

Seungmin was next. "Alright, well I think it's obvious that I'm the medic here. My name is Kim Seungmin. I'm also the one who's usually cooking along with Lee Know and Felix. But I can also do other things such as tracking down people, creating weaponry, drugs, poison, and other things."

Jeongin stretched his arms over his head. "I'm Jeongin, the youngest. I'm 22 and I'm probably the smartest here. Sorry to break it to ya, Minho hyung." Lee Know scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Everyone pretty much adores me here, and I hope you will too, Seong-Hye. I'm also in charge of background checks. I'm pretty good at hand-to-hand combat and collecting information."

Those were a lot of intros, but it was worth it. Everyone seemed to be nice. Well Lee Know was alright... Maybe this gang wasn't so bad. Maybe I could start trusting them just a little? This could be the beginning of my trust with them. But I needed to know about the plan and what they wanted with me before I could trust them more than I'm able to right now.

Everyone seemed to enjoy having me here even though its only been a few hours. I think I'll be fine here. For now...
