Bloodthirst 1.3: Shopping mall

I woke up from my huge nap in the middle of the night. I felt panicked for a minute as I didn't recognize the ceiling from the Strays apartment until I realized that I was into the Hybe Hotel. Beside me, half laying on the bed and half-sat Sejeong was sleeping with a cloth over her body. The room was huge.

"You should eat something." My eyes met with Jeonghan that I had met earlier.

"Were you watching this whole time?" I ask as I had not even noticed him. His presence had stricken fear for a moment. He didn't answer and Woozi opened the door with a warm plate of food.

"Sejeong didn't eat yet." Seungkwan who was right behind Woozi spoke up.

I gently brushed my hand in her hair and she woke up. Tears mounted in her eyes, she embraced me tightly. I patted her back gently as the three men settled plates on some trays and silently watched. We were under surveillance.

"Where is Maria?" I asked.

"She is in another section. The Dahlia group deemed that it was unnecessary for you to room together." Woozi spoke up.

"Thank you for the food." I say as I watch the fuming plate of lasagna.

"Don't burn yourself." Sejeong warns. I chuckled and take the fork in my hand. At least that is what I try to do. I can't really feel any energy in my hands. I've used so much energy that even that long sleep didn't help me recuperate enough. I'm really embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Woozi asks as he looks at me intently.

"Nothing. It just feels weird to be watched while eating. Moreover, I think that you guys can be dismissed at this point, no?" I raise an eyebrow at them. There is a long silence until like someone heard me, Jeonghan's phone rings. He keeps his eyes on me as he answers. There is a two-minute monologue on the other side of the phone before Jeonghan hands up.

"Lady Kim. Guys, we are invited to exit this room for the rest of the night." The word 'invited' did not sound right in my ears, but Sejeong shook her head.

"We still have to talk about what happened and-"

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." I interrupt her "I'm still tired." I give her a soft smile "But we'll talk tomorrow. Without a doubt."

Sejeong wants to fight my decision, but Seungkwan shakes his head. They bid me good night and I lean back against the head rest. It's been a long time since I was completely alone. I look at the delicious meal in front of me and clench and unclench my hand. That are still trembling. It was complete madness. This people had an issue in their head for sure. Piranhas? Tiger?

A question was harassing me in my head: what would be the third and last round? And what was my relationship with the Dahlia group?

"You should eat."

The whirlwind of questions in my head stopped instantly as I rose my eyes to look at Kim Seokjin. He was calmly leaning against the entrance of my door. I looked at him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

Seokjin tilted his head at me.

"It's the Dahlia's group hotel." It was self-explanatory. Of course.

"That doesn't explain why you are here in my room?" I raise an eyebrow at him confused.

"I have every right on you." Jin shrugged.

"I'm from the Strays." I frowned.

"For now." Jin approached but I didn't move a finger. He sat just beside me, facing me and took the meal and started to cut small bites. He took a bit on the fork and gave it to me. I did not open my mouth.
