"Babygirl, I really wish you would just stay here." Chan pleaded with an exasperated tone.

Lily rolled her eyes as she threw on her hoodie and whined. "Channie, I'm fine. I slept most of the day yesterday. I slept all night. Well- except for when I had to pee. And I've been forced to 'take it easy' since I woke up this morning." She complained, throwing up sarcastically dramatic air quotes. "Seungmin even said it was probably just exhaustion."

Chan stood up and walked toward her with a defeated expression. "Fine." He growled through his teeth as he sandwiched her face between his hands and gently pulled her forward, pressing his forehead against hers. "You're such a fucking brat. You're a stubborn ass fucking brat."

Lily wrapped her hands around his wrists and grinned mischievously. "Yea, but you love my stubborn ass." She teased just before licking the tip of his nose and walking out of her room.

Chan followed slowly behind and let out a flustered growl through his smirk. "I do indeed love your ass. Mm-Mmm."

Lily responded by dramatically swaying her hips, giving herself a slap on the ass as she continued her path, not looking back.

Changbin had walked out of the room she was passing in just enough time to witness her actions. "Oooh no, you don't-" He said as he suddenly scooped her off her feet and threw her over his shoulders, causing her to yelp. "I don't know what the hell that was, but that ass is not yours to slap little missy-AAIISHH!"

Lily had tucked her fingers in his waist line and grabbed the hem of his underwear just below his spine, yanking them as hard as she could, causing him to jump, almost dropping her.

Chan stood back laughing as he watched her continue to pull at his underwear with all her strength. "What was that, Binnie? I can't hear you over your screams." She taunted through her devilish laughter.

Changbin slung her off of his shoulder and playfully tackled her to the ground, straddling her. He pinned her hands above her head and shook his finger at her with his free hand. "Listen here, missy- you're about to be in biiiiig trouble."

She paused her laughter long enough to scowl and contort her lips as they humorously mocked his sentence.

Chan had walked up and towered above her, glaring at her smuggly. "Seems like someone is in need of some discipline- huh Binnie?" He said sadisticly.

Lily continued to laugh and squirm under him as the two ignored her, continuing their conversation.

"Changbin looked up at Chan with a smirk and replied, "You know, I think you're right. What-ever should we do with this little brat?"

Chan tilted his head to look at the ceiling as he tapped his finger against his lips. "Hmmm. Ah! I know!" He shouted as he pointed his finger up toward the ceiling. An evil grin stretched across his face as he slowly looked down at Changbin. "Wanna try something new?" He asked in a darkened tone.

The group of nine stood as they had before, with their legs spread and hands locked behind their heads as JK's guards searched them at gunpoint.

Lily saw the tension on the boys' faces as they watched the guard approach her and squat in front of her, patting her ankles and moving up toward her thigh. In an effort to nonchalantly show that she was ok, she arched her brow and winked at them, then glanced down at the guard. With a sarcastically teasing expression and matching tone, she said, "So, listen- you're the same guy that searched me last time. If this is gonna be a reoccurring thing- I expect you to buy me dinner or something."

Some of the guards laughed as the man squatting in front of her turned a bright shade of red and paused.

Seungmin, I.N, Changbin, and Leeknow laughed at her comment, while the others stared with shocked but proud expressions behind their dropped jaws.

"All clear." A guard shouted, signaling the others to lower their weapons.

As they walked the path to the elevator leading underground, the guard who searched Lily quietly cleared his throat and whispered, "I was unsure how to take your comment, ma'am. I sincerely hope I haven't made you uncomfortable during the searches. I can speak to JK about assigning someone else to conduct your searches if-"

"Hold on." Lily exclaimed as she stopped in the middle of the hall and stared at the man with a stunned expression.

Her actions immediately drew the attention of her eight men, who automatically took a protective stance.

Lily immediately continued, "What do you mean 'assigned?'"

"JK has made it clear that I'm the only one to conduct your searches. I hope I have been professional and appropriate in doing so." The guard hesitantly replied.

She furrowed her brows and tiled her head in curiosity. "Is everyone else assigned a person?" She asked.

"No ma'am." He replied nervously.

Lily crossed her arms across her chest and stretched out her leg, tilting her hip. "Why just me?"

The guard shook his head. She and her men shared confused and slightly disturbed glances as he spoke. "I wasn't told, ma'am. He said the reason was classified. As I said, if you're uncomfortable-"

Lily held up her hand to silence him. "No- well- I wasn't until now."

"Forgive me." He bowed. "Please speak with JK on the matter."

Lily turned and began walking toward the elevator. When they loaded onto the elevator, she broke the silence that had followed them. "My comment was a joke, by the way. You have been professional and I appreciate that."

The guard smiled and bowed again, "Of course, ma'am. Thank you."

The elevator doors opened to reveal JK at the table where they previously gathered, sitting back with his ankles crossed over the corner, staring at his computer. "Sparky- you barely made it in the door and you're already causing trouble." He laughed as he stood to his feet.

The group stood puzzled as he approached her with open arms. "Ah come on, you had to have seen the cameras everywhere." JK said smuggly as he lifted her slightly from the ground in a tight embrace.

Before he released her, he leaned into her ear and whispered in a serious tone. "He's my wife's brother. He has my trust more than anyone here. I take your history very seriously."

Still stunned, yet filled with gratitude, she stared into his eyes when he pulled away. Before she could speak, he suddenly reverted to his typical demeanor, ignoring the varying expressions on the other's faces.

"Ah! I see my Little Quokka gave you my sister's necklace." He turned to Han and hugged him the same way he hugged Lily.

Han locked eyes with her, and she responded with a soft nod and a smile causing his concerned gaze to soften. The other seven relaxed upon seeing the visual conversion between them.

JK released Han but kept his arm draped across his shoulder as he motioned toward Lily. "I think the necklace suits her, don't you? Your mom would be proud."

Han and Lily shared adoring smiles and began to respond, but again, before anyone could speak, JK interrupted with a loud clap as his voice echoed through the room. "Sit! We have things to discuss."
