Safe Heaven

Chapter 4

Krystal has been playing the Rubik's cube on Sehun's bed for about over an hour now. Night has fall and she was feeling hungry. She opens the door only to be greeted by a noisy living room. Her eyes blinks rapidly when she realizes that she became the room's main attention. All the 11 men gawked at her, surprised with a lady's appearance in their maknae's home, let alone bedroom.

She shivers, not having good encounters with men before this and turns on her back to retrieve back into Sehun's room, afraid of all those men.

"Krystal." His voice sang, almost like a melody, hooking her by her feet. She turns around almost immediately and tilts her head to one side.

"Come on here, I would like you to meet some people."

She doesn't says a word but quickly walks to her rightful place next to Sehun, her head ducked. She sucked in a breath when he slings a hand over her shoulder.

"Guys, this is Krystal. And Krystal, meet my boys." Sehun introduces.

Krystal tries her best to not tremble when she looks up to look at their faces. "It's alright sweetheart, they won't hurt you." Sehun says and rest his lips on her temple.

"H-hi." She manage to squeak.

The 11 boys was still staring at her and Sehun, mouth all hung open, surprised to see a girl being able to tame their vicious maknae.

One of them, being the leader he takes the responsibility of clearing his throat and making an introduction. "Hi, I'm Junmyeon, but you can call me Suho." He smiles, so bright that Krystal thought she was going to go blind.

"Hey there! The name's Baekhyun, aww don't be shy sweetheart, we won't bite." He teases, but Krystal knows that his smile was genuine.

Sehun growls at him, literally.

"Chanyeol im-mida!" A tall boy chirps.

Krystal's eyes moves on to the next one. "Hello! I'm Luhan!" Whispering into her ears, Sehun says, "He's the wacko hyung that's obsessed over the cube that I told you about." She giggles a bit, and the 12 boys' eyes lit up like a bunch of Christmas tree.

"Hey I'm Lay!" Another boys says, showing the posture of 'L' proudly.

"Hello I'm Miseok and I'm the oldest!" Krystal so badly wanted to pinch his cheeks. He looked nothing like the oldest.

"Kim Jongin." Suavely the boy winks at her, earning another hiss from Sehun.

"Lay off, Kai."

"Kai?" Krystal speaks up.

"His nickname, babe." Sehun explains.

"Eww since when Sehun's all this mushy I'm Chen by the way." One with strong jaw lines said.

"Kris. Second in command next to Suho."

"Hey I'm Kyungsoo and I uh, cook?" He nervously laughs and Krystal laughs at his cute attempt.

"Huang Zitao. And I love Gucci!!! Do you?" The last one with heavy eye bags excitedly says.

"I hate to burst your bubble but I'm sorry Zitao, I have no interests in Gucci." Scratching her head, Krystal cracks a half smile to the cute panda boy.

"Aww..." He pouts.

Kris, rolls his eyes and says, "Man up, Tao."

The rest of the gang breaks into a laughing fit.

Tao only frown harder and moved his seats so that he was next to Krystal. "Mei mei, you see? They all are bullying me!" He whines to Krystal, and Krystal not really knowing how to socialize just pats his head and laughs at his cute acts.

And that was how Krystal's night was spent; a couple of boxes of pizzas and 11 newly found friends by her side.

Later that night when they both got into bed with Sehun's arm around Krystal's waist, Sehun quickly falls into a deep slumber while Krystal kept herself awake, still unused to the fact that she was now free. And also by the fact that she won't have to wake up to a sore lower region the next morning. It all felt ... Unbelievable. Ever so softly she runs a hand through Sehun's blonde hair which wakes him up, but he played mum and kept his eyes close, just incase she says something she wouldn't have when he was wide awake.

Heaving a sigh, she whispers, "Earlier today ... That question of yours ..."

"My father was on the verge of bankruptcy, so he decided to sell me ..." She hiccups, and slowly, fresh tears started to fall from the corner of her eyes.

"You would probably think it's ridiculous, right? What kind of father would sell his own daughter to someone else?" She laughs, a miserable laugh.

"Well, my father did."

She cries and cries in his arms, while Sehun had his fists clenched. He didn't know what to feel. But above all he felt disgusted. No, not by Krystal but by her so-called-father. He open his eyes and kisses her tears away with his lips, comforting her with sweet nothings that eventually made her fall asleep.

And Oh Sehun made a promise to Krystal that night. Whoever her father was, he would take vengeance for her.
