«Could you?» asked Mingyu and looked at the door in front of him. Linda nodded and rushed to open it for him.

The men walked in as usual deep in the room while Linda was walking slowly, looking around her.

The room was narrow for a few meters but then it formed a big hall. The ceiling wasn't high but the place was wide. Counters forming a square were in the center, desks on the walls from all sides, computers and microscopes on them. There were a lot of lockers built-in in the walls.

A guy appeared from the door in the corner of the room, he was not much tall, had blonde hair and a lot of freckles. He seemed like a sweet person.

«You got them for me, thanks!» he said and ran to Mingyu, so he could remove the heavy box off his arms.

«No problem, Felix.» said Mingyu and let him take the box, the boy wrapped his arms around it and then looked at Minghao behind him.

«Chan!» yelled Felix and another man appeared from the next door. He had curly hair a big nose and mouth, he was Asian. He seemed like a nice person as well.

«Give me that.» he said to Minghao and embraced the other box.

Linda stood away from them, shyly. No more introductions, it was too much in one day.

«Is that- Oh my God!» yelled a woman as she jumped out the door.
She was short, had long curly hair, brown skin. Her robe was long enough -or better- she was short enough for her robe to reach her knees.

All of them looked at her, Linda turned, the woman was looking directly at her.

«Hi! Nice to meet you Linda Evans!» she said as she ran to her with a stretched arm, aiming for a handshake.

Linda's eyes widened in surprise, she felt like the woman could jump on her. She responded to the handshake and smiled.

«It has been a while since I worked with a woman, thank god!» she said loudly and Chan rolled his eyes, moving his head in denial.

«We are not working with her Kathrin.» he said and sighed but soon his smile returned.

The woman frowned playfully and Linda looked at her weirdly, she seemed very... Unique.

«Ahem.» Mingyu coughed gently and everyone turned to him.

«This is Felix Fritz, Bang Chan and Kathrin Adams. They are working next to us, we sometimes help each other and there is-» he got suddenly interrupted by a freaked out Chan.

«Kathrin!» he yelled and looked scared at the door which was leading in their laboratory. «Who is watching over the reaction?» he asked as he remembered that they were in the middle of a small experiment.

«Jisung I guess...?» said Kathrin and shrugged.

But then her eyes widened all of the sudden.

«Tsk, so careless!» yelled Chan and a sudden bang was heard from the next room.

«Oh noo!» yelled Kathrin and hid her face within her palms, she felt embarrassed.

Was Linda's arrival so important for her to forget her job or could it be she wasn't aware of the importance of her experiment?

Linda just stood there, watching the men rolling their eyes and sighing. It seemed like they were used to Kathrin's 'accidents'.

«What the freak!» yelled a man from the next door and all three eyed each other, then excused themselves and left running towards the voice.

«We can talk later!» shouted Kathrin before entering the door.

Linda didn't react at all.

«Do you like it?» asked Mingyu and eyed the young woman, she was looking around the room.
