As soon as Izzy left Jungkook's line of sight, she allowed herself to slouch down next to the wall. Her head was pounding, and waves of sickness kept washing over her making her worry that she would have to rush for a bucket. She didn't know what had come over her, deciding to blame it on the shock of the night and the current stress from too many unfinished university essays. She forced herself to stand up and walk towards the bathroom deciding to take a pill for her pain and nausea, swallowing it dry.

The sound of a knock on the door announced Johnny's presence as Maddie let him in. It didn't go unnoticed to Izzy that there was a cock of a gun before the door was opened - just in case. The thought of a gun being in the hands of her sister or boyfriend made another wave of sickness wash over Izzy as she took some deep breaths and allowed it to pass.

Bracing herself for what was to come, she made her way into the living area. All four of her new house guests were standing awkwardly around each other, the tense silence between them as they all eyed each other up.

"Thanks for comming Johnny" Izzy cgreeting, but it was cold and distant. Looking at her ocusin all she saw was yet another person who had lied to her. "This apartment does have seats for a reason" she added as she headed towards the armchair. They all found various seats around the room and sat, their eyes looking at Izzy expectantly. Hyunjin sat away from the other three, obviously not wanting to intrude too much, but his eyes were on Maddie the whole time, ready to come to her rescue should she need it.

"You too Jungkook" Izzy sighed gesturing for her boyfriend to take a seat along with the others. 

"Jungkook?" Hyunjin blurted out.

"JK-Jungkook, makes sense" Johnny nodded as he too connected the dots.

Jungkook gritted his teeth and tensed his jaw, he was in no position to complain to Izzy for revealing his name so he turned to the boys "if I were you, I'd keep that to yourselves" he threatened, and nothing more had to be said, JK's reputation preceded him.

"I'm sorry I didn't know your real name was such a big secret" Izzy cut back, feeling so angry at how much could have gone wrong if she had accidentally spilled that to the wrong people. This whole situation was just a disaster waiting to happen. "I guess the first question is do you all care about me?" Izzy asked, watching as confusion came across all of their faces. It was obviously not the questions they'd expected. There was a round of small nods before a tense silence fell over the room as Izzy considered how else to approach the situtation.

"Okay, well the next question is are you all in gangs which partake in criminal activities?" They all looked at each other awkwardly before Jungkook spoke out first.

"Yes" he replied, his usual confidence nowhere to be seen. The other two nodded in agreement, neither meeting Izzy's eyes.

"Did all of you keep me in the dark about this fact?" Izzy finished, her tone full of betrayal and hurt.

No one seemed willing to answer, with Maddie staring down at her lap, refusing to meet her sister's eyes. The other two seemed equally torn about what to say.

"Don't bother replying to that question because I already know the answer" Izzy replied with a scoff. "You have all led to belive you were good people, that you were normal people who didn't kill and steal and manipulate to make a living. Taken me for an idiot and a fool who would just endlessly follow around and be an acessaory to your lives, to give yourself some reminder of what it was like to be normal.
