STOLEN

seventeen

that night everyone got really really drunk. only mark and i didn't have any sip of alcohol, so now we're about to take care of all of them because they are all just scattered on the ground, drunk and almost lifeless.

❝let the cleaning... begin.❞ i sigh.

i picked up the girls from the couch and let them sit together. ningning woke up a little later and found me pulling the boys up.

❝oh shit.❞ she said.

while mark on the other side just kicked jeno and jaemin to the spot near the couch. i frown at him.

❝don't do that.❞

❝they're too heavy, haechanah.❞ he replied. i sighed and let him be.

i pull up johnny hyung who's clinging like a koala to ten hyung who's sleeping soundly on the couch. he even groaned and wanted to pull himself closer to ten hyung but i don't let him.

❝johnny hyung wake up!❞ i pat his cheeks a couple times, over and over. in the end he just snored.

❝h-hi.❞ atleast i woke ten hyung up. ❝oh hell my head hurts so much.❞

❝haech, why don't you go cook soup for them? i'll take care of the boys.❞

i look at mark hesitantly. ❝you sure?❞

❝yes. i'm definitely sure.❞ he said. i let him be again and walk to the kitchen.

good thing this place isn't that much of a mess like how messed up the living room is. i immediately prepared everything that i need and started boiling water.

❝hey, i'll... take the girls back home so you can—❞ ningning appeared and before she could even finish, i stop her.

❝oh no, stay. i'm making enough for all of you.❞ i smile. ❝sit down, this will be done soon.❞

❝i mean... i should be helping you know but my head is throbbing so bad. where were you last night by the way?❞ she said as she let her head pop on the table.

my hands started to shake badly when i heard her question. ❝j-just out there.❞

❝okay.❞ she shuts up to my heart's content.

i put the hot soup infront of her and she immediately slurps it, almost burning her tongue while doing that.

❝mark, can you wake them up?❞

❝i sure will.❞ i'm sure he was panicking when he entered the kitchen. he ran behind me and pulled a few guns over my head.

❝what's wrong?❞

❝ningning stay with haechan. keep an eye on the girls, too. we need to go out—❞

i had to pull mark back. ❝what's wrong?❞

❝baby, t-the orphanage...❞

my heart beats fast, so fucking fast. ❝why?❞

❝it was... ambushed. i don't know by who, when and why.❞ ten hyung reaches out for my hand. ❝stay here—❞

i bit my lips harshly as i run outside. i don't even dare look around the people running with me, i just ran and i reached my car.

❝lee haechan!❞

❝w-we need to go now.❞ i speak up sternly. i almost locked the door until i couldn't. mark forced my door open.

❝let me go. l-let me go there, they need me.❞
