~ Y/N ~
I open my eyes to light coming in through the large window. I slowly look around, unfamiliar with where I am until my memory floods in.
"Last night..." I mutter to myself and slowly sit up. Stretching, I realize that Taehyung isn't next to me. I got up looking in the hallway for him when I hear a door open in the room. I turn around and am greeted by a figure with a towel wrapped around his waist. My mind goes blank and I barely hear him, his voice muffled. He waits for a response and I respond with a really dumb "what?" staring at him.
He chuckled softly, "What are you staring at?" He rubbed the back of his neck and looked away, going to the dresser and shuffling through his clothes. His shoulders, broad and golden brown, were facing me as he searched.
"Where are some decent clothes in this place?" He whined and sighed, taking out a blue shirt and black pants. He put a hand on his towel as to take it off and then turned his head and looked at me, his face flushing red.
"Um... I have to get dressed..." he said slowly.
I quickly nodded, tearing my eyes away from him, "Oh-um yeah. I'll go. I need to take a shower anyway." The words tumble out of my mouth and I rush out the door, closing it behind me.
Damn, that was so weird. Why is he so gentle on the inside but so hot on the outside-
My thoughts were interrupted when I bumped into Jungkook, glaring at Taehyung's room.
"What were you going in there?" He asked, his eyes narrowed at me.
"I couldn't sleep last night, so he was my company for the night..." I said softly.
His eyes softened a little, his large doe eyes widening for a moment, before they hardened to a dark brown yet again.
"Why didn't you come to me?" He asked, his voice raising slightly.
"Well I was just walking in the hallway, I wasn't looking for Taehyung. Taehyung was already up and when I walked past, he saw me. So he invited me in..."
Jungkook looked skeptical but just walked past me without another word. Confused, I walked to my room quietly.
I press against the door and walk in, closing the door behind me and leaning against it. A sigh of relief escapes my mouth.
"I have to shower." I go to my closet, which towered over me, and grabbed the first piece of clothing I could find—a blouse. I shrug and grab bottoms, going into the bathroom.

I walked out of the bathroom, completely dressed in my blouse and the bottoms, which turned out to be a skirt. Sighing, I dried my hair and combed it when there was a knock on my door.
"Come in!" I yelled and the door opened, revealing Taehyung. He was already dressed, smiling at me as he entered.
"Hey, we're going to hang out downstairs and eat breakfast. Come down when you're ready, we want to see you..." He cooed, blushing a strawberry red, "We'll also talk about what we're going to do about the house and where you'll live after all of this is over..." he sighed.
"Oh," I said softly and he nodded.
"It will be a difficult conversation, so we'll need your opinions and you'll need to be there with us to hear everything..." I nodded slowly to show I understood, but he still didn't leave.
"Um, I also have another thing to ask you..." he said slowly and then walked over, sitting on the bed. "It's about the thing I asked you before... I really like you Y/N..." he trailed off and looked at me. I was taken aback, my mouth opening to respond when suddenly Jungkook came up behind him.
"What is taking you two so long?" He groaned. "We need to get downstairs Taehyung, Y/N will come when she wants to." He pushed Taehyung lightly and closed the door behind them both. I stood there a little baffled.
What am I going to tell him?
I finished with my hair, and then went downstairs quickly. There was a ruckus going on downstairs. Plates and utensils were clanging, there was talking and laughing. All the noise made me feel a little overwhelmed. Slowly walking down the stairs, I cringe when everyone notices me and starts calling out my name.
"Y/N!!" Jimin yells and gets up from the table, coming to me and hugging me tightly, "I missed you!" He squealed, then let go and went back to the table. There was a seat in between Jungkook and Seokjin, so I sat there. Taehyung looked over at me and smiled, and I smiled back. Jungkook was still eating as I looked over at him. He froze as he looked back at me and I chuckled as he held the fork in the air.
"What?" He blushed and then looked down, eating more.
There was a murmur between Jimin and Hoseok and they both started giggling, staring at the two of us. Taehyung looked at them and frowned.
Namjoon starts by saying: "Alright everyone, let's get this over with. We have to talk about the house. It's being investigated by the police, but we don't think they'll get any leads on the Persona Non Grata, so we will have to do this as a Council by ourselves." He sighed.
"I've looked into them, but there isn't much information on them. As you know, we've lost a lot of people due to them. We even lost humans," he glanced at me, "to them. The Council will have a meeting later today, but they have already chosen people to try to find out more about them." He took a deep breath.
"I don't know if you have heard, Jungkook, but your brother was chosen to investigate."
Everyone turned to look at Jungkook. His face turned grim, biting his lip a little. He just nodded firmly.
"We will be resting here." Namjoon continued, "No one will be going out since there are spies everywhere. We don't need them knowing that we are here. Got it?" He looked around at all of us. Everyone nodded.
"Good." He continued eating, and everyone did the same in silence. My stomach turned as I realized he never spoke of where I would stay afterward.
"Namjoon, where would I stay after all this is over?" I asked, causing everyone to look at me. I felt the weight of the attention and my face heated up like furnace.
"You'll stay with us, isn't it obvious?" He smiled gently, "We're the only ones that can protect you until you can get yourself back onto your feet."
I felt my chest tighten as I felt both Jungkook's and Taehyung's stares bearing into me. The table went silent again as I tended to my empty stomach.
