𝕐/𝕟 𝕡𝕠𝕧:

I was in my last class, staring at the clock waiting for the bell. I have avoided Johnny as much as possible today. He didn't seem happy about it, but he didn't try to push it either. He knows very well why I needed time away from him.

I had also promised Riley that I would tell her what was said yesterday. Her house is where I was headed to after school.

"What did I tell you? They were gonna be a part of some gang shit! And you didn't believe me." She said smugly.

I sighed. "Maybe I should listen to you more often."

She chuckled. "That would be the smart thing to do, after all I'm always right." I laughed.

By the time I finished talking to her, the sun started setting. I said goodbye and headed off.

I stopped at the gas station to get some wine and chips... yup, that's my dinner.

I headed out to the walkway which was behind the gas station. I take this walkway every day, and I've never had a problem until tonight.

As I was walking, I saw a group of people ganging up on someone else. I hid behind a wall before they could see me.

Pulling out my phone to call the police, one of them brought up a gun to the man's head. I cursed under my breath as he pulled the trigger, the sound was rather quiet to my surprise.

I felt my heart stop, adrenaline pumping through my veins.

I stumbled, tripping over some piece of metal. It slid across the stone floor, the sound echoing down the long alley way.

All 7 people looked over at me. Now that I could see their faces clearly, I felt tears tug at the corner of my eyes.

Hongjoong, Wooyoung, and the others they would hang out with at school. No San... I felt sick as I ran the other way, still looking over my shoulder. As soon as I turned my head around to look where I was going, I ran into someone almost knocking us both over. "You lost?" I froze. The voice was too familiar. I felt tears start to fall down my face uncontrollably. He lifted my chin up so I could meet his gaze.

"What's wrong hm? You look like you've just witnessed a murder." San's voice was deep, almost calming. I didn't even realize he had pulled me into a hug, my face fitting perfectly against his chest as I nearly sobbed, terrified. I felt a sudden scent fill my nose. I tried pushing him away, but I was already too weak.

"Sleep well." He whispered in my ear. My vision blurred and I felt my limbs go numb, it wasn't long before everything went black.

My eyes fluttered open, wincing at the sudden light. I lifted myself up, feeling dizzy for a second before my vision began to focus.

"Hongjoong! She's awake!" That snapped me out of the loopy state I was in, now I knew where I was and who I was with. I tried to stand up and run but I felt someone grab onto me, sitting me back down.

"Running won't help you y/n, just cooperate." I looked up and glared at Wooyoung.

"How is she?" Hongjoong asked from across the room.

"Well, she's not happy." Wooyoung sighed walking away from me. They all sat down. When San came into view, I had the urge to kick him in the stomach. "How the hell did I end up here?"

San looked over to me before taking off his coat, dropping it next to me. The similar scent rushing by, "chloroform." He said with a smirk before turning and sitting down next to Wooyoung.

"One of his old tricks," Wooyoung said.

I grabbed his coat and dropped it on the floor, getting it as far away as possible.

Hongjoong sighed. "I need to know exactly what you saw in that alley way."

I didn't say anything.

"The longer you put off the answers, the longer you're gonna be here." One of the members spoke.

"I saw you commit a murder." I mumbled.

"I'm sorry you were put in this situation." Hongjoong sighed. I rolled my eyes.

"Fucker deserved it." One of them threw down some papers as he stormed off.

"Mingi, would you mind helping Yeosang out a bit?" Hongjoong said softly. Mingi stood up and walked over to where Yeosang ran off to.

"What did he mean he deserved it?" There was a moment of silence before one of them spoke up. "He brutally murdered 22 people, 10 of those people were children between the ages of 5 to 12." I avoided eye contact with them, that did change things.

"We only kill those who deserve it." I wanted to convince myself that it was wrong... but even I felt anger towards that man and I've never come into contact with him.

"Y/n?" I looked up at Hongjoong realizing I had zoned out. Mingi and Yeosang walked back into the room, Yeosang apologizing for leaving so suddenly.

"Can I go home now?" I asked. They all looked at each other. "I think we'd rather have you stay here for tonight, one of us will drive you to school tomorrow."

I stood up. "You expect me to stay here with you after everything I just saw?!"

San spoke up, "fine then. You can go home if you want. You just have to find your way there." I scoffed before walking over to the front door, opening it. "Please. I think I can handle myself." I walked out into the driveway and stopped for a second. This house was in the middle of the woods. No other houses nearby.

I was bound to get lost. And even with that thought in the back of my mind, I went through with it anyway. But sure enough, about an hour later, I had no idea where I was. I was cold, overwhelmed, and lost.

"There you are! I was scared I wouldn't find you." I heard Hongjoong step through the leaves. I turned around to meet his gaze as he handed me a sweater. I put it on and he chuckled. It was very oversized, fitting me like a dress.

"Let's go back." He said wrapping his arm around my shoulder, guiding me through the woods. Once we got to the front of the house, he stopped me.

"Y/n, I know what you saw today was scary, and a lot to handle. But like Seonghwa said, we only do this to people who deserve it."

There was a moment of silence. "I didn't want to say it tonight, but NCT... the group Johnny is a part of, they take out whoever is in their way. It doesn't matter who it is or how innocent they are. Early last year, our group and their group promised to stay away from each other to discontinue any major conflict that was risking the lives of our members. If you're associated with us, and you say that you are on our side, they can't hurt you." I got lost in thought. Hongjoong was telling me one thing, while Johnny was telling me another. I didn't know who to believe anymore.

I felt him pull me into a soft hug as he rested his chin on my head. I didn't hesitate to hug him back. "You don't have to decide right now. No matter what you choose to do I will be right here supporting you." I nodded.

Hongjoong's POV:

I lead her to a room, San's. And yes I did it on purpose. I closed the door and saw San standing behind me. "What the hell?! Why my room?" I walked past him.

"She needs somewhere to sleep." San followed me into the living room. "So you put her in my room?!" I turned around to look at him, "it's what you get for sending her out into the woods alone." He sighed. "So where am I supposed to sleep?" I shrugged. "Either outside or on the couch, up to you. Oh! And you're taking her to school tomorrow." San rolled his eyes.

San's POV:

It was 2 in the morning, and I still couldn't sleep. Our couch was not the most comfortable thing in the world.

I know for a fact Hongjoong did this on purpose. To be fair I probably shouldn't have set her off into the woods... and I probably deserved to sleep on the couch...

It wasn't till I considered sleeping on the floor that I decided to just go to my room. Even with y/n sleeping in it, I would like to get at least an hour of sleep before I have to take her to school. I opened the door quietly, and there she was. Sleeping rather peacefully for such an eventful night. I thought about it for a second before closing the door behind me and slipping under the sheets as far away from her as possible
