Chapter 7

You stared at Jungkook's hand that still held your underwear and gulped very loudly, your cheeks blushing a darker shade every second that went by in this awkward moment.

"How about we put these away now?" Taehyung cut your embarrassment short thankfully before taking the knickers and putting them back into your bag, zipping it carefully and ruffling the maknae's hair as he seemed to be a little shaken himself.

"We've all done it once" Taehyung smiled at how adorable Jungkook was. As soon as he turned to you the smile was gone and his normal, plain expression became present.

Seven attractive guys and I'm still single.

You took the bag quickly in case of any more mishaps which would cause more embarrassment and wore it properly, both straps on your shoulders.

Finally out of his daze, Jungkook blinked in a rapid fury and coughed a little, his voice hitched slightly.

"Sorry" he mumbled and you couldn't help chuckling, "it's fine" you said reassuringly.

Then there was the silent walk back to the underground base, the place that gave you the chills whenever you thought about it.

Well it was silent for you. Jungkook and Taehyung talked quite a bit with you trudging behind.

"Will there be an arcade at Muan?" Jungkook asked excitedly.

"Er I don't know but if there is, lets not play table hockey."

Jungkook visibly shuddered, "as much fun as it was, I will have to agree with you!"

You were curious as to why they wouldn't play table hockey. You found it quite boring yourself, preferring race car driving games and shooting ranges at an arcade nonetheless there seemed to be some sort of story behind their dislike for it.

Even though you were strangers with these men, you couldn't help but want to know more about them. They hadn't told you much and what they did tell you lead you to ask so many questions.

For example, why the hell is this Hitae dude trying to steal all your mates? And how did you all form this crew of less than merry men? Is Namjoon the leader? How old were the others? When did they all meet? Did they believe in the mate system before a guy threatened to take them?

You sighed. One thing you didn't like was being forced into something blind, kind of like the mate system. Can you love someone just because they share a mark with you? All that freedom you had, did you have to let it go once you found this person and live with them forever?

Jungkook saw your face of deep thought and nudged Taehyung in his side, making him turn around suddenly. His eyes noticed your furrowed brow and pursed lips. For a moment, he found himself curious as to what was going on in that head of yours.

"What do you think she's thinking about?" Jungkook whispered over to him.

"Maybe the fact that she's now in a crew with 7 strangers and they're going on a mission to find 7 random girls?" Taehyung smiled softly as he said it but the surprise on Jungkook's face was funny.

"I mean, she's definitely thinking about food."

Jungkook laughed out loud, interrupting your deep thoughts, making your eyes shoot up ahead of you, watching the broad outline of two men walking afore you. Nice shoulders, fluffy hair.

"Why am I so unlucky?" you whined to yourself.

"Unlucky? You're now with seven handsome boys, I'd count that as lucky" Jungkook joked as Taehyung nodded.
