II.

CHAE

At the end of the staircase there was a door that was surpirsingly wide open. It reminded me to my old middle school's drama club that was held in the basement. I chuckled as I remebered my drama teacher's words that she said when I failed an audition: 'Chaeeun, you are good at making dramas but not at the type we are looking for.'
'I'm glad you find our hideout funny' Taeyong's voice pulled me back from memories. Kyungseok lightly slapped his arms in disagreement. 'No need to be harsh. She's not joining from her own will.' he sighed then looked at me with a nice smile 'Let's turn this uncomfortable situation into something pleasing for all of us.'
Wow. Such wise words from a criminal hehe. I mean he's nice and everything but we met in jail afterall.
(side note from the author:says the one who was in jail too)
I decided to leave the nice aura and not tell the boys I was laughing at something completely different.
I smiled at Kyungseok then followed Taeyong and walked through the door at the end of the staircase.
I found and big room with some chairs and tables. And about 20-something people who were sitting on the chairs and tables or just leaning against the wall.
As Taeyong walked in everyone looked up and stopped talking. But whispering filled the room again when they saw me between the boys.
'Everyone, this is our new member, Yang Chaeeun. As you may know, Lee Kyungseok, our member was in jail for three months.' Taeyong pointed to Kyung but seemed like everyone know who he was. 'While he was there, unfortunately Kyungseok accidentally let Chaeeun know one of our plans. So we had to add this girl to our gang before she tell it to someone, you know. Chaeeun, say something about yourself.' The leader pushed me a little closer to the crowd. I gave him an angry glare for the not so nice move then looked at the crowd. Except 3 girls, there were only men between 20 and 35. I focused on the faces. Some of them was handsome, some of them was not, some of them smiled at me, some of them were probably judging, but they all shared something: the same desperate expression on their face. Maybe for their passion: killing cops. Hahahaiamsofunny. Anyways, I'm glad I don't have to fight against them.

As I looked around, a little group (apperently a little younger then the others, they were around my age) grabbed my attention in the back of the room. A boy and a girl were sitting on the table and another boy was standing next to them. They were all staring at me, but while the sitting ones looked simply curious, the standing boy's eyes were cold and judgemental. I stared into his eyes, but I just couldn't look away when I tried.
A few minutes later he broke the eye contact because his friend elbowed him. The guy slapped his arm as an answer and shook his head. I took a breath. Time to say a speech that won't make people hate me. Good luck, Chae.
'Hi everybody, I'm Chaeeun, but you can call me Chae. I was born in 2000, so I'm probably younger than most of you. In my free time I like to travel and hang out with friends except I don't have friends and jails don't prefer travelling.' My little audience laughed but I saw Taeyong rolling his eyes. Without noticing, I found myself looking for the cold guy again. He just stood there, with the same expression from earlier.

Taeyong looked at me. 'That's all?' When I nodded, he turned to the crowd. 'Do anyone has any question?' A few hands were in the air, so the leader decided to listen to all of them.
'Are you single?' a younger, blonde guy asked while chuckling. 'Depends on who asks.' I made a bright smile, flipping my hair that made the men laugh. I'm not a slut but you know, better keep the guys' interests towards me, especally if there are only 3 other women in the group. If they get to know me as the flirty but stupid girl, they won't expect much from me and leave me alone with my thoughts.
'Can you fight?' An older man asked with doubtful eyes. 'I'm good at guns but I still have to learn more taekwondo.' I shrugged my shoulders. The man was thinking for a few seconds but then nodded.
'Did you fight against the police before?' A guy with light green hair asked. 'That's why I got arrested, duh.' Obviously I didn't add the duh part. Better keep my reputation at the first day.
'How many times did you got arrested?' A girl asked. I thought a little, counting on my fingers that made them laugh again. Great, I can make them laugh. Now they think I'm stupid too. Well, the less they know, the less they except.
'Around 4 times but I was only in jail twice.' I shrugged my shoulders again. There were a few more questions about my family (I carefully avoided these), my fighting skills (I answered them with 80% sincerity), and other things about my other hobbies, cooking skills, and sleeping habits (the guy asked me these who was sitting on the table). After the questions, Taeyong ended the meeting. To avoid suspicion, only three or four people left the building in every 10 minutes. Those who were leaving, walked to me and introduce themselves. I would be lying if I say I remember everyone's name, but I have a good name memory, so most of the names stucked in my head.

'Kyung' I turned to the guy who nodded to me. 'Why are there only three girls?'
'Well, there isn't much girl who can and want to fight against the police risking their freedom for going to jail. Like look: Hyelin is the only girl who really wanna fight. You are here because of a...mistake, Minyoung is Taeyong's girlfriend and Yoona is my sister. Oh, I just remembered I wanna introduce you to a few people.
I nodded doubtfully. He grabbed my arm and dragged me through the room. When he stopped, I looked uo and saw...the young group (two boys and a girl) from earlier.
'Chae, I want to introduce you to the worst trio ever- I mean my sister and her friends.' Kyungseok fake coughed in the middle of the sentence.
I looked at them more carefully than I could from the other side of the room. The girl literally looked like Kyungseok but in girl and younger. She smiled at me kindly what make her eye smile shown. 'Hi, I'm Yoona, nice to meet you.' I waved her back since she already know my name.
The guy who was sitting on the table earlier looked at me up and down.
'You look like a cat.' he said pointing out my naturally light brown, narrow monolid eyes.
'Says the Asian Ken doll.' I snapped back. I mean, with his dark blonde hair and tanned skin tone he really looked like one.
After staring at each other for a minute I bursted out laughing. I just can't feel like arguing with him. Surprisingly, he did the same then came and hugged me. 'I'm Lee Donghyuck by the way but you can call me anything you want.'
After our hug I turned to the third guy. The one with the cold eyes. As I looked at him, I noticed his eyes are really beautiful. Such a shame I didn't notice it earlier from the room's other corner (like 10 meters). He stared into my eyes still cold then nodded.
'Renjun.' I raised my brows at the short introduction but quickly smiled as I saw Donghyuck rolling his eyes too. 'Congratulations, Renjun, you snapped again.'
'What's your problem, Channie?' Renjun answered (or asked? haha).
'Oh nothing. B-'
'Ok, enough.' Kyungseok decided to end their fight right before it starts. 'Chae, I introduce them because since you four are the youngest, you will share a room together. But since I'm Yoona's brother and older than all of you, I got the amazing job to be a babysitter and live with you to stop the natural disaster you can make anytime. Great, isn't it?' He said and made a thumbs up with a fake smile. Yoona laughed at him, Hyuck shook his head, Renjun cursed and I faceplamed. Fantastic.
'Where will be staying?' I asked Kyung. 'At a nice apartment in Seoul.'
'Really? I thought we will live on a submarine.' Hyuck rolled his eyes.
'In the Atlantic Ocean.' Renjun added. Kyungseok shook his head but he wasn't really angry. 'We will be the last ones along with Taeyong and Minyoung to leave so I will show you when we're there. Now play something, I have to tell something to TY.' Kyung said then left us. TY? It must be the tomato head's nickname.
'Play something' Hyuck copied Kyung 'As we are kids.'
'Partically...' Yoona began but the boys stopped her. 'Shut up.'
The girl then turned to me with a smile. 'Want me to show around?' She offered her ar arm. 'Of course.' I said then linked my arms with her.

The end of the II.chapter
To be countinued...

Btw Yoona is basically Yuna in a different writing form but I didn't want anyone to identify her with Itzy's maknae so here we go ;)
Under Chaeeun's cat eyes I imagine something similar to Yeji's (Itzy) or Suga's (BTS) eyes.
Tag yourself I'm Kyungseok who just tryna survive his crazy sister and her crazier friends.
Hope you enjoyed and stay tuned:))
