One For All, All For One // Bang Chan

Eleven

" What the fuck did I just go through? " Aiden asked in confusion as all ten of them sat on the couches in their living room.

" You were kidnapped, wasn't it obvious? " Minho mocked Aiden.

Aiden looked at him betrayed, " I thought we are friends now! "

Jisung wrapped his arm around her in comfort, " You are his friend, but he will still make fun of you."

Chan eyed the three in annoyance, " What kind of questions did they ask, and what did you tell them?"

" You want me to relive the whole torture process?" Aiden was in total disbelief, didn't she need more time get over the semi-traumatizing experience?

" If we wait longer you'll forget and it'll all be for nothing." Chan shot back leaving Aiden completely shocked.

" Well, firstly they kept calling Chan 'Bang', so I, being the normal confused human, I asked them why the Hell were they calling you that. Then Hanggyeol was trying to get me to tell him your name, but instead I called you 'grumpy curl head', and then he wanted me to tell him who are the other members, but then he took a one-eighty and started attacking me for befriending Felix, so let's just say that was the vacation of a century. "

Jeongin looked at Aiden puzzled, " Why are you not taking this seriously? "

Aiden sighed.

" If I did, I would be panicking and hoping that I didn't spill the beans about something important by accident Also, you know how it feels to have a knife slice up your cheek a bunch of times? "

Jeongin shook his head.

" Well, clearly I do," Aiden pointed at her cheek," and if I kept thinking about how my best friend did that to me, I would've jumped out a moving van and killed myself on the way here."

" You love yourself too much to actually kill yourself, " Changbin laughed to himself, thinking that others would agree but instead they all sent him death glares.

Aiden looked at him and smirked, " You never know what's going on in my head Bin, so shut up."

Changbin looked at Hyunjin who was sitting right next to him in amusement, " Just me or did she catch the 'Minho humor' virus?"

Hyunjin turned his head towards his friend and laughed, " She clearly has. "

...

When everything was talked out, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted.

Hyunjin and Changbin were cuddling on the couch while Felix kept sending them eye daggers of annoyance. Jisung and Minho were being Jisung and Minho. Seungmin was nagging at Jeongin and ,surprisingly, Woojin as well, Chan was somewhere deep in his office just like always.

Aiden was left alone wondering what she should be doing with her time, her best friend was having fun with the only other person she could imagine herself hanging out with in their house. Minho was a strange case, cause she wasn't exactly sure if they are really friends now or if they would actually talk like that cell incident once some time will have passed. Aiden, obviously, hoped they would, because she had told him so much and to her, it was like he was the only person besides her and Felix to know so much. She now knew quite a lot about him too, so it would just make complete sense for them to continue having conversations like that previous one.

Hyunjin hadn't talked to her since she and Minho had gotten back and that concluded all the friends she had within the group. Making friends with them seemed hard to do because they all seemed to be in their own world, worlds that she didn't really fit in to. Heck, she didn't fully even know what Seungmin or Jeongin were good at. Yes, she had friends, but even then she wasn't fully happy with her situation and that was what made her even more miserable, why was she still so sad when she clearly had friends, and she even had a roof over her head?

Aiden sat on one of the couches by herself, she was completely lost in thought at this point and this time it wasn't even about the question of ''why she was so awkward?'', she was wondering about what exactly happened to Minho after she left. There was no way that he was just left alone, but he hadn't mentioned anything about it to the rest of them, at least Aiden thought so. Maybe they had talked about it while she was taking a shower right after they had arrived back home. At the end that would even make a lot of sense, she was the newbie that Minho didn't even want to accept, so why would she be filled in on such details?

In theory, Aiden could ask Chan if he knows anything, but if he doesn't, she would look like a complete fool, cause she wouldn't ask the person she was thinking about in the first place.

Most of this probably wasn't even that deep, but Aiden's newly established over-thinking problem had gotten the best of her. Should she finally find something worthwhile to do or just continue to swim around in her own mind?

Aiden looked at the ceiling for a bit, trying to think of an activity she could do to make the time go by faster, and then she remembered about her journal. She got up from the lonely couch and made her way up to her room.

Opening the bedroom door was quite hard for her this time, a sudden feeling of anger flooded all throughout her body. Not anger at any of her teammates, anger towards the plan she was waiting to place in action - run away to Iceland.

Aiden opened the door to her bedroom and closed it right after, no one will really care if she just suddenly disappears, so why would she be getting mad at herself for having an idea like that one in her head waiting to be carried out?

Sitting by her desk right in front of her journal could really be the only way of relaxing to her, the sight of the old notebook in front of her made her feel at ease, when the pen glided over the pages nothing else mattered, just her emotions and the chance to divert all attention to herself, so she wouldn't go crazy like a malfunctioning deviant android.

...

Aiden was writing in her journal when she heard a light knock on the door, she turned her body to the door awaiting the surprise intruder.

When the door opened up a bit, a smiley Jeongin peaked his head out, " Chan said that you should go to the library, cause you need to help Seungmin chronicle everything about today in that weird history book thing. "

Aiden sighed to herself, the little moment of her alone time was interrupted for something so useless, great.

" Okay."

The door quickly closed and Aiden just released a groan of absolute frustration.

Maybe sticking with the annoying part-time jobs would've been better than all of this. At least then she wasn't interrupted when she had the rare time to be alone with her thoughts and her feelings.
