Two guys entered a big mansion, their footsteps echoing through the grand hall as they talked in hushed tones.

"I think we should tell hyung that we found her," the first one said, glancing around nervously.

The other nodded, his brow furrowed with concern. "Yes, but I am still wondering how she ended up with Seventeen. And that too, being Jeonghan hyung's girlfriend?"

The first guy sighed. "Yes, but what's more important is to take her out from there. She looked scared of them."

"Hmm," the second one agreed, his eyes reflecting a mix of determination and worry. They both knew the risks involved in what they were about to do, but they also knew they had no other choice.

Yuri pov

I was sitting on the floor, tears streaming down my face after Mingyu left for a mission-at least, that's what I heard. I saw my bracelet, my favorite bracelet, all broken on the floor. It was a gift that had always brought me comfort, and now it lay in pieces, a reflection of my own shattered state.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, and began gathering all the tiny stones and pieces. My fingers trembled as I tried to fit them together, desperately hoping that if I could fix the bracelet, I could somehow find a semblance of control over my life again. The task was tedious, but it gave me something to focus on besides my fear and despair.

While working on it, my exhaustion caught up with me. I didn't even realize when I fell asleep, my fingers still clutching the pieces of my broken bracelet.

When I woke up, a throbbing pain in my lower abdomen greeted me, along with a familiar wet sensation. I knew immediately what it was. Groaning, I got up and went to the bathroom to confirm my suspicion. Yes, it was that time of the month.

I searched everywhere for supplies but found nothing. Panic began to set in as I realized this was my first period since being here, and of course, no one would have thought to provide such things in a house full of guys.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I needed to figure this out. Wrapping a towel around myself, I hesitantly left the bathroom and headed towards the door. I knew I would have to ask someone, as humiliating as it felt.

Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and stepped out into the hallway. I needed to find someone who would understand and help without making me feel more uncomfortable than I already did.

I walked down the hallway, my face flushed with embarrassment, hoping to find someone who would help me in this moment of vulnerability.

As much as I remembered, everyone went on a mission, but I heard Seungkwan saying one of them would stay behind. Now, which one is here? I was about to walk downstairs when I heard some noises coming from the other side of the floor. I went closer and realized it was his room-the guy who hates me. But I couldn't do anything else; I had to knock. I didn't have any other choice.

I knocked with all my courage. There was no response. Just as I was about to leave, a hand grabbed me and pulled me inside, pinning me against the wall. I looked up and saw that it was The8.

Minghao's POV

I was left from the mission with the members to look after Yuri, to keep a watch on her. I kept watching her from the hidden cam in her room; she was just busy with something and then I saw her sleeping. I took my nunchuks and started practicing after a while I heard a faint knock on my door. I placed my nunchuks on my bed and looked at the screen to see Yuri wasn't in her room. I quickly closed the screen and opened the door. She was about to leave when I grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall.
