Elizabeth's POV

One of the guys wrapped his arms around me and I didn't know what to do. Do I push him away? Would that even be possible? He hugged me with such a gentle force, almost comforting; if it weren't for the fact that we were strangers I would have wanted to stay like that forever. So I just stood there, till one of the other guys said something to him that I didn't understand and he released me, his checks pink from blushing. "Thank you" I say awkwardly knowing he meant well. He nods and goes to sit back down. The feeling of the embrace still lingered, leaving a hint of warmth and comfort.

"So, you traveled here because of a breakup" one of the other guys asked in broken English. I nod realizing how dumb that sounded. My knees feeling weak, as if turned to wet noodles, the exhaustion still lingering in my body. I lower myself to the floor, tucking my knees inside the massive hoodie, burying my face in my knees. How could I be so stupid? I am halfway around the world because I saw my boyfriend cheating. Am I really that pathetic?I was literally trying to run away from my problems

"um.." I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up to see that the boy with the white hair had scooted over and placed himself in front of me. He looked slightly darker than the rest of the guys but he shared the same dark brown eyes. His full lips showing a weak smile.

"I'm Bambam, I like your hoodie." He looks at me sincerely. Tears fall at the mention of the hoodie and confusion appears on his face. I want to just disappear into nothingness.

"The hoodie was for my Boyfriend." I hear myself say "It was supposed to be a gift for our six year anniversary but he cheated on me and I have nothing else to wear" I explain through sobs. "It is his favorite group. I searched for months and I saved up for a while to get it for him" I really do sound pathetic

Bambam just looks at me sympathetically, "Do you wanna borrow a shirt?"

That clears the fog in my mind a bit.

You are still in an apartment with 7 strange guys that you don't know, that is a red flag, you have already told them to much, red flag, you need to get out of there!"

I stand up, nearly tripping because my knee almost got stuck in the hoodie. " I should probably go" I say trying to find where I left my purse, Bathroom, that's right.

As I head toward the bathroom, I catch a glimpse of Bambam getting hit in the back of the head by the one who had hugged me.

I grab my purse and head towards the door while the guys seem to be exchanging looks, making me feel more antsy for staying as long as I already have. I definitely needed to get out of there.

Third Person

She's heading towards the door and Jinyoung gave them all a look of warning. If she left and there were reporters or fans out there it could be really bad. Why did Bambam have to say that, he probably scared her

"Wait" Mark said as her hand reached the door knob.

JB looked at all of them letting them know that though it was bad they needed to keep her here until they heard back from their manager.

"I really should go" she says again

what to say to stop her?

Mark gets up and stands next to her, willing her to look him in the eye.

"Where are you going to go? Your phone is dead, you still look unwell, and you don't know your way around or the language" Mark says "just stay a little longer"

That wasn't harsh at all, Mark

"Crap" she says under her breath, "FINE" She seemed reluctant but at least listened to reasoning.

JB got up and offered her the chair, hoping that it would calm her down a bit. She accepts but still doesn't seem to relax. Sitting down, she balls up into the hoodie making herself like a child once again.

Both Mark and JB find a spot on the floor and they all look at Elizabeth.

"Seeing as we already know your name, do you want to know ours?", Jackson asks hoping this will put her at ease. They could all tell she was even more uncomfortable now then earlier and none of them were used to that. Most girls that met them were either overjoyed, shy and nervous, or chill. She finally nods and JB nods at Yugyeom to start.

They go around one by one and say their name, starting from youngest to oldest. Mark is the last one to introduce himself. "I'm Mark", doing an awkward wave and smiling almost bashfully.

Elizabeth nods with each introduction and when they finish she just looks down at her lap, looking once again like a little girl dressed in your older brothers hoodie."You can call me Elle,..." she fidgets with the sleeves of the hoodie, " um, also can you tell me where the nearest store is. I should probably get a change of clothes." She wanted to get the hoodie off as soon as possible.

"Are you sure you don't want to just borrow a shirt? It's getting pretty late", Jackson offers, knowing leaving the dorm wouldn't be the best idea, whether it was late or not.

"I should probably not, I would be more comfortable in my own clothes" she says with a smile that showed her discomfort. Is there anything that we could do to put her at ease?

At the mention of clothes shopping Bambam's face lights up, " Yeah, there is a really nice store a few blocks away. They should still be opened and we can take you and help you find..." He stops when he notices JB staring him down daring him to say another word.
