A/N THANK YOU FOR 50K

     "Hey lunch is ready," Wooyoung's voice is the first thing Yunho and I hear as we step back into the luxurious house.

     "Chicken chicken chicken," Yeosang slides into the room chanting with a large smile on his face, a rare but beautiful sight.

      I catch Seonghwa's stare from across the dinning room but it's not at me. His hawk like eyes burn into Yunho. I step forward between his line of sight and breaking him from his trance.

      "Let's go Hana," he grabs the plates of food from the table and begins to turn towards the stairwell. I walk his way and grab my plate from his hands.

      "I think I'm going to eat down here," he raises a brow at my words.

      "Why?" He looks from me to Yunho then back. "Did he say something to you?"

      "No nothing like that. To talk about the... letter." Seonghwa stands up straight and takes in a breath.

      "Hana, come upstairs." He says in a soft tone.

      "You can go I'll be fine," I softly smile to him, "Have to talk to them sooner or later."

      "Okay," His face begins to relax, "I'll be in the room. I love you." He leans forward and kisses my forehead.

      "I love you too."

      I set my plate next to Wooyoung, oddly enough he is probably the only other one here I trust. He knows everything that has happened to me and still stood up for me that night and looks at me like a human being. Most likely because he has done similar things and understands me and it's nice to have someone that knows what goes on in the depths of my mind.

      "How do you like this place?" Wooyoung breaks the ice thankfully not asking why we've kept to ourselves, hopefully everyone can understand without asking.

      "Despite the circumstances it's really nice, way better than the last place I was taken," I say the last part under my breath and shove rice into my mouth.

      "Have you been to the game room yet?" Yeosang mumbles loudly with half a chicken in his mouth, "Seonghwa told me you like games so I thought you might want to play some with us."

      "I didn't know that, I'd love to." I sincerely smile to him feeling welcomed and accepted by him.

      "Sweet! Jongho and I are tired of trying to teach Hongjoong."

      "I heard that!" A shout comes from the living room and Joong walks in holding his empty plate. "I'm not that bad you two are just a different breed, it's kind of scary how good they are."

      "I bet she can kick their butts," Yunho adds in and my face gets red as they all look to me.

      "No no I haven't played since everything happened, I'm probably trash now," I hang my head low and shove in my last couple bites.

      "Wow, is that Hana? Downstairs with us mere commoners? It's a miracle. " In struts Mingi's sarcastic self bringing up unwanted topics. I catch Yunho flashing him a cut it out look and Mingi quickly changes.

      "Yep," I sigh, deep down I want to bring up the dreaded topic but tonight is not the night, I should wait for everyone.

      Small talk goes on back and forth across the table. It is almost like nothing has happened. Laughs fill the room as a pair of chopsticks get thrown at Wooyoung while Hongjoong yells at him about some ramen incident.
