OVER ME [ZEROBASEONE]

XII.

"AND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THE PAIN YOU CAUSED ME!"

"Darling, please! Understand that this was not in my control!"

Beings were collected around a long table with pizza and fries covering half of it. the random drama played on the projector and was covering one of the white walls as the humans in the room were all invested in it. Or at least most of them were.

Fyona was happy she could finally have one of her favorite meals again and feast on it after so long, yet she couldn't help but lose her appetite as the humans around her gave no mind but the two sitting directly before her.

Her eyes would once in a while flicker to their faces and quickly look down when she would find the two males already burning holes in her head as they both angrily munched on their pizza slices. Clearly, they did not want to do anything with her presence and obviously, she was uncomfortable with them but unfortunately, no one seemed one bit bothered or even noticed her discomfort and the two males radiating rage.

Well, one actually did. The blonde one. But just as quickly he noticed the fire burning in the middle of the three, he ignored it with a shrug. It was none of his business and the last thing he wanted to do was to intervene, knowing damn well he will get ignored like always. 

fyona did a little prayer in her head in hopes they finally stop with their starings but even when a while passed, the two seemed to give no sign of stopping. it was time to take matters into own hands.

she cleared her throat and pulled yujin's shirt slightly to get his attention. he was startled when he had to tear his eyes away from the playing drama and to the short girl beside him. he stared at her bowed head for a bit, waiting for her to say something. when she didn't, he assumed it was on accident and raised his head to face the drama again but had to do a double look at gunwook and gyuvin while his eyes crossed over their faces. his eyes widened just slightly as he watched his two older teammates doing nothing but angrily glaring at her figure who couldn't even eat in peace.

"I think you should focus on your food. you will enjoy it more when you are staring at your food than at someone." he made sure his voice was loud and clear as the two males caught in the act stared at the youngest with raised brows. 

"I would agree. but I feel uncomfortable around strangers." gunwook crossed his arms after placing his slice of pizza down. the table was quiet as everyone now found something new and more interesting to stare at.

"so does she." taerae commented in the corner in an unamused voice as he munched on his pizza without a thought.

"why is she eating with us?" gyuvin faced hanbin and Zhang Hao in an angry manner as he finally answered the question that he and gunwook had been longing to ask.

"because she is a part of this group now and shall be treated like an equal." zhanghao said in a calm manner when his words were nothing but a bomb thrown onto the dining table. jiwoong, who was beside fyona wowed while throwing some fries into his mouth as Matthew choked on the coke he was drinking. fyona herself couldn't believe what she heard as she looked up at zhanghao with widened eyes. hanbin also side-eyed his leader but said nothing. 

"what." gyuvin's jaw was dropped as gunwook's face turned red in anger.

"fyona, welcome to the family. we are sorry for the negative things we have caused you to this moment. but I hope you can forgive us and accept us. just like how we accepted you." zhanghao smiled gently at the girl who was still in shock, she couldn't tell if she was dreaming or not.

family? 

group? 

what?

"We never discussed this matter! let alone accept her?" gyuvin shouted like a maniac at his leader. this time he was sure his brain had flown out of the window.
