Jumin: So, Mari.

Jumin: Will you join the RFA?

You find yourself just staring for a moment. Was this really happening? You were only out into this mess because of some stupid stalker! And now you're being asked to join some anonymous charity organization? And you're being asked this for your own safety...? This sounded absurd! And yet...

MC: Yes. It could be kind of fun... And besides! If it will make it easier to catch this jerk of a stalker, then I'm in!

Jumin: An interesting answer. But, an answer nonetheless. I swear, you won't regret this decision.

707: We'll catch this guy, Mari! Pinky promise!!

Yoosung: Woohoo!! Now we're gonna be in the RFA and school together? Nothing could be better!

Jaehee: Though I do not fully agree with this decision, it will be my pleasure to help and get to know you better, Mari. Plus... It might be nice to have another girl here for once.

Zen: Glad you could tell this knight in shining armour will be able to protect you, sweet Mari~ I promise, under my watch you'll be the safest person alive!

707: Actually, there are multiple options that would leave her safer than with you. Like Rika's apartment. Or my house.

Yoosung: Your house?!

707: Yes, my house! With state-if-the-art security defences, where the arabic security passcode changes every day!

Jaehee: Now that just sounds pointless...

V: I am sorry to interrupt your celebrations, but I must be going now. Mari, it was a pleasure to meet you. Please, don't touch anything in that apartment, and don't tell anyone where the apartment is.

Jumin: Leaving so soon, V?

V: Unfortunately, yes. My connection here isn't that great. Plus, I have some investigating to do... Whoever is stalking Mari, must have known Rika.

707: Why do you say that?

V: Mari said they gave her the passcode to the apartment. Even I don't know that... So I must do some digging. Seven, you focus on keeping her safe. And everyone else, make her feel welcome!

V has left the Chat.

707: Goodbye V!

MC: He's certainly nice~

Jumin: Yes. Kindness is key in this organization, and it would be a shame if one of our organizers were unkind.

MC: That's a very good point...

707: Well, now that that's all said and done, why don't we let you go so you can get settled in, huh?

Zen: Yeah, sounds like you had quite the crazy day, Mari!

MC: Yeah, I kinda did... I might need some time to think.

Jumin: Of course. I must get back to work anyway. It was a pleasure meeting you, Mari.

Jaehee: Oh, that's my cue... Sigh. I'll be in touch, Mari.

Yoosung: I hope everything goes well, Mari! Sorry you had to join under such sorry circumstances, but I'll see you at school later, right?

MC: Of course!

Yoosung: Yay!!

Yoosung left the Chat

707: Guess that just leaves me, lol

707: I'll call you soon so I know what you want me to grab from your place, then I'll be right over, k?

MC: Okay... I don't think I'll need a lot, but thanks.

707: See you soon!

MC left the Chat.

You let out a tiny sigh as he chat is emptied out, and your phone jumps back to what you assume to be the home page of the app you had unknowingly downloaded. Or gotten put onto your phone. You're not entirely sure which...  And you're not sure which one unsettles you more.

You collapse onto the couch, letting out another sigh. You couldn't believe it. This was your home for now. For God knew how long!

You're just beginning to accept this fact when you feel your phone vibrate in the palm of your hand. Glancing at it briefly, you hit the green answer button and hold it up to your ear. "Hey," you hum.

"Mari! Don't sound so dejected! You're receiving a phone call from the amazing seven-oh-seven!" Seven's voice rings out.

You chuckle ever so slightly. "Ah, sorry~ I'm just still in a little shock I think."

"That's understandable," Seven hums slightly. "Well, I'm just about to pull up to your apartment. What kind of stuff do you want me to grab?"

You pause to think for a moment, collapsing back onto the couch and kicking your feet up. You list off a few clothes, mostly just asking for a handful from your closet and dresser, as well as a few items of makeup and hygiene from the bathroom. After another moment of pause, you pipe up again. "My computer in the living room would be nice," you start. "And there's a small little journal of sorts under my pillow... I'd appreciate if you could grab that. But-But don't read it! It's personal... And before you ask, no. It's not a diary. It's just... Mine, okay? And I don't like people snooping through my stuff..."

"Then what about all the snooping I just did in your closet?" Seven counters slightly.

"W-Well, ah- That's different! It's not snooping if I asked you to look through it, now is it?" you argue back.

Seven makes a bit of a "blah blah blah" mocking sound before you can hear shuffling on his end of the phone. "Alright, alright. I have it. It's closed. Anything else?" he asks. When you reply with a simple no, then he hums. "Good! Alright, I'll be over shortly. Try and start getting used to that apartment 'till I get there, alright?"

"Yeah, okay. Drive safe-" you add, almost out of habit, before pausing as Seven chuckles.

"Aww, are you worried about me?"

You sigh and almost drop your phone. "Just hurry up." you finish, hanging up the phone before Seven can get in another word. With another sigh, you finally stand and finish investigating the apartment while you wait.

Wandering towards the kitchen, you find the fridge empty, and the pantry stocked with leftover non-perishables. You assume you'll have to go shopping tomorrow, since you're far too tired from today's shock to want to go out. Not to mention everyone said you should stay put, at least for now, so at least trying to relax tonight might be a good idea...

Next, you check the bathroom - very simple, and meets your needs - before moving to the bedroom. The bed was an average Queen size, but the room itself felt rather cozy. A large dresser off to one side is made of dark wood, and stands out against the cream coloured walls that have very little on them. A few feminine wall decorations like some feel-good quotes in what looks like a sort of sticker, as well as a small dry-erase board by a full sized stand up mirror. On it, although rather messy and faded, you could make out a name, a date, and a few other words.

Saeyoung- 8:30 - apolo-ize for e-thing and tell hi- bout sea-

The rest is cut off, or too difficult to read. But what concerns you isn't trying to understand the sentence, but trying to understand why you recognize that name.
