Chapter 34

"Are you nervous?" Mark asked with a smile as they walked up the gravel drive to the beautiful mansion in front of them. Maddie knew that it was big enough to host the many boys who lived there but she hadn't quite imagined how big it would actually be. Living in central London they had an expensive penthouse apartment which was big enough but nothing compared to this.

"A little" Maddie admitted.

"No need" Johnny insisted "it's just wayV you have left to meet now"

"They do all speak Korean though right?" Maddie suddenly asked.

"Yeah" Mark nodded "You remember Ten from SuperM, he speaks English" he added.

"Well that's something" she muttered.

"Cheer up" Johnny teased "you were in such a good mood when you came home" he commented and he was right after a surprisingly enjoyable day at school, spending time with the boys and smoking on the roof with Hyunjin she'd had a great time at work ordering all the appropriate fabrics she'd need to make the jackets.

"What's your point?" Maddie shot back.

"Just try and relax, just be yourself" Johnny soothed.

"I don't like myself very much" she muttered under her breath.

"We all love you already, so will they" Mark added.

"What ever you say" she sighed as they finally finished walking up the unnecessarily long drive way. Mark pushed open the door and they were immediately transported into chaos.

They entered an wide and long hallway which led to several rooms, out of which immense sounds left. Maddie followed Mark and Johnny's suit slipping off her shoes before heading behind the two into the testosterone fuelled mad house. "Hey Maddie" Jeno called out to her as the three of them entered a huge living room.

"What so I don't exist anymore?" Mark teased.

"You're old news" Jeno teased straight back.

"Yeah 'number 5'-old" Mark reminded with a laugh, Maddie had figured out when they referred to themselves as numbers as they had done a few times, like when Mark, Jaehyun and Johnny were all arguing about who's responsibility it was to take Maddie on a run, that what they were referring to was the joining order, when she'd asked about it Johnny had explained that the earlier you joined the closer you were to the 'original' line up and therefore more superior to those who joined after you, naturally leaving Maddie at the bottom of the heap.

"Hey I'm eleven" Jeno defended.

"Yeah and I'm ten get over yourself" Renjun teased.

"Actually I'm Ten" a voice behind them interrupted, Maddie spun around along with Mark and Johnny to see the handsome man she recognised from the airport and then her first night in Seoul.

"Ten" Johnny sighed "you need to take me away from these children" he muttered.

"Ah you need to talk to someone from our generation, I resonate with that" Ten hastily agreed, and the two wondered off to a sofa where the older members of 127 were sat along with another man she didn't recognise.
