Chapter 3 / Ritual

THE FUCK???!!!

When we stood at the edge of the pool they stopped. Hell, I could have guessed this would happen. Stupid, stupid, stupid Seoyeon.

I could only shriek once before they threw me in the cold water.

I went under for a brief second, but being a good swimmer finally paid off here. Quick like a fish I made my way back to the surface and I broke through the it, make up ruined and wet to the bone.

The guys were all standing there in a line and laughed at the sight.

Yoongi came through the pile of giggling men and kneeled down. He was laughing too. My face was the complete opposite, I was clearly pissed off. "Sorry sis, but that's the welcome ritual. Every newbie has to take a 'shower' in the pool." He then burst out into laughter.

Again.

That was enough.

I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him in. There was a big splash and the other members curled up in deadly laughing. I mean, one of them even fell on his knees because how hard he was chuckling.

I gave them a dead stare while Yoongi's head finally popped out on the surface, him still in shock and his long bangs glued to his face.

"I'll pay ya back later, trust me." he said while rubbing the water out of his eyes.

The others finally stopped laughing after what felt like an eternity. I crossed my arms and looked at them, now they stood there like six awkward potatoes.

I felt a little easier when one of them had the courage to push through the others and holding out his hand so I could get out.

I smiled weakly as I accepted and got out of the pool, soaked and cold. When I looked back to the pool, I saw the face of a betrayed Yoongi. The man that helped me out grinned and held out a hand for him too so he could get out as well.

"Sorry hyung, but ladies first."

When my brother was out of the water too we both stood side by side. BTS formed a little half circle around us and Yoongi stepped out of it to join. They all made a daisy chain and then the tallest walked in to face me, his gaze a mix between amusement and pure seriousness. His eyes pierced into mine, it was a little intimidating if I am being honest over here.

But then he smiled.

"Welcome to Bangtan Sonyeondan Min Seoyeon!" he said solemnly and the others cheered.

"Am Namjoon by the way, the leader of BTS."

I nodded in understandment and then they introduced themselves one by one.

A man with a soft face and black hair - Hoseok.

Another black headed short man introduced himself as Jimin.

My brother, well I think I know that one.

Then Jin. Again.

The maknae, another one with black hair. Jungkook.

Boy why do all of them have black hair?

And the last one was the one that was so nice and got me out of the cold water. Taehyung.

I was just standing there, saying nothing. I couldn't. My mouth was dry, like sand paper dry. Then a thought hit me. A rather uncomfortable one.

"Uhm guys... I know this is your ritual, but there is a tiny thing that doesn't add up there... I- well, uhm..."

"She forgot her suitcase." Thanks brother. Thanks for embarrassing me. Once again. I've only been here for what, an hour? And he already made me look bad twice. A new record my guy.

Now all of them looked at me, shocked. Before I could hiss at Yoongi for saying that his phone rang. "Whelp, gotta catch that call, may take a while, sorry guys." And with that, he left me alone with them.

I watched him walking off and I was just standing there, mouth open in shock. Their gaze focused from Yoongi back to me.

"You really left your suitcase at home? Girl, how?" Jungkook asked curiously.

I looked down to my feet and shifted from one spot to another, not really knowing what to answer. I just shrugged.

There was a sigh then Taehyung raised his voice. "Come on, we'll get you something from Yoongi's room. He probably won't mind. Well, at least not when it is for you."

He grabbed my hand and dragged me back into the house and the others followed, but staying in the living room, minding their own business again. We got up to the first floor and went past mine and his room, to the very end of the hallway. At least now I knew where to find my brother in emergencies.

Without even checking if he is inside Taehyung stepped in and walked to Yoongi's closet, instantly finding a red hoodie and a pair of shorts which should fit me. I looked at him confused.

He just turned to me and grinned. "I sometimes -well pretty often actually- steal clothes from him."

I couldn't help but chuckle at that thought. I took the clothing in my arm as he closed the wardrobe again. He then quickly shushed me out again, explaining, that Yoongi actually doesn't like it when one goes into his room without asking.

"Then why do you still go in?" He shrugged.

"Two reasons. First, I am too lazy to wash my laundry that often, so I gotta wear his. Second, to piss him off. It's funny to see his expression when he finds out some of his clothing pieces mysteriously went missing."

"Interesting." I then took the door to the bathroom, since I still was soaked. Taehyung said his goodbye and went to his room, while I locked myself into the bathroom. I didn't want him to accidently walk in on me while I was changing.

After a long warm shower and blow drying my hair someone knocked on the main door.

I quickly put on Yoongi's clothes and unlocked the door to find Jimin there. "Oh sorry, just wanted to tell you that lunch is ready." I nodded and satisfied with that he walked off again.

I quickly put my hair up in a messy bun and sneaked downstairs, getting lost twice before finally finding the kitchen. In there all of them were already sitting at the table, obviously waiting for my slow ass.

There was one free seat between Jimin and Taehyung. I was fine with that and sat down.

We had Tteokbokki, my favourite food of all time, so I stuffed myself witht he delicious food while the guys had some small talk about the next practises. Yoongi sat at the other end of the table and eyed me. Probably because he just realized I was wearing his clothes. Oops.

Taehyung and I looked at each other and giggled silently. From the corner of my eye I could see him narrow his eyes at us, but I honestly didn't care. We all just kept talking and getting to know each other better, which relieved me quite a lot.

I thought I'd go under, but they somehow already made me feel liked I floated.
