Third Person's POV

"WE HAVE TWO DAYS PEOPLE!" Octavia yelled clapping her hands.

She was helping to organize the ball which will be held at the mansion.

And she was STRESSED.

"I feel like I am going to faint." She took a deep breath.

"Calm down." Souline laughed.

Right now the two girls were on the second floor, looking down at the living room area.

"What do you mean calm down? Everything needs to be ready by tomorrow an-"

Crash.

Octavia took a deep breath before exploding.

"KIM NAMJOON WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST BREAK NOW?!" She yelled before running towards where the noise came from.

Souline laughed as she watched Octavia run.

She had now gotten used to the people living in the house.

It was like a huge family, except there were only siblings.

"And here is your coffee." Soobin, handed a cup of coffee to Souline who thanked him with a smile.

"Thank you."

"Have you seen Jungkook?" Souline asked after a while.

"Uh, not really. Why though?" Soobin smirked.

"Nothing... I just had to ask him about something." Souline lied.

Well, she did have to talk to him about Haneul, if they found him, if she can go, but then again... She didn't want to have that conversation at all.

"Souline!!!" little Jongin ran up to Souline, hugging her.

"Jongin!" She giggled at the cute little boy.

"I am so glad you are here." Jongin sighed in relief.

"And why is that?" Souline asked curious.

"Because uncle Jungkook can't help me with this math problem." Jongin pouted.

"Hmmm, he ain't that smart huh?" Souline joked to which Jongin nodded.

"Hey!" Jungkook yelled from afar, "Stop badmouthing me." He walked over to where they were standing.

"Good you're here man." Soobin spoke, "Souline here asked after you."

"Hmmm. Why?" Jungkook turned to Souline.

She wanted to slap Soobin so bad.

"I need to talk to you if you have time." She looked up at Jungkook.

"Wh-"

"What about my homework?" Jongin interrupted.

"I will help you as soon as I'm done talking to your uncle. Okay?" Souline turned to Jongin.

"Fine... but can I have ice cream too?" He looked up with a pout.

"No, ice cream." Jungkook disagreed.

"Well... seems like your uncle doesn't allow you to eat ice cream," Souline said out loud, "But I'm going to get one ice cream for you." She then whispered on Jongin's ear.

She turned to Jungkook who looked at her with a knowing face.

She just shrugged before following him.

They entered his office and he turned to her.

"What did you want to talk about?" He asked.

"I... uh... I was going to ask about Haneul, if you guys found him." She looked down at my hands.

"No." He answered immediately.

"So that means I am staying here for a little more?"

"Do you want to leave?" He looked down at me.

No. - She thought.

"I will have to leave at some point right?" She looked up at him.

Don't leave. - He thought.

"It's not time to leave yet." He looked away.

He felt hurt.

For some reason he was heartbroken.

"Souline..." He called out to her before she left.

"Be careful tomorrow..."

"Why?"

"A lot of bad people will be around. If anything were to happen, find me. I will protect you."
