a place to stay?

Taeyong didn't know the witness's name nor did he know that she had actually ran away from home. He settled comfortably down onto his chair behind the table and watched as the witness awkwardly clambered onto the one opposite him.

" You got to sign some papers, promising that you will not tell anyone, including your family, about what you saw. " Taeyong started, opening his drawer and flicking through the many papers in it, " everything else is written in the paper and I want you to read carefully throu- "

Before he could finish his sentence, the door was almost blasted open and two people walked in bickering in half Chinese, half Korean and fighting for the file in between them.

" YAH I HACKED INTO THEIR SCHOOL'S SYSTEM TO FIND OUT ABOUT HER "
" SHUT UP, I FOUND OUT THE EXTRA INFORMATION AND CONSOLIDATED THEM "
" YOU DID SO LITTLE SO I SHOULD BE THE ONE GIVING THEM TO TAEYONG HYUNG "
" I COULD HACK INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM TOO BUT YOU DIDN'T LET ME "

" I'd rather you both not fight or break my door down, " Taeyong said patiently, raising his voice slightly to talk over them, " did you find everything? "

" yeah, she's nineteen "
" her name is y/n "
" she ran away from home "
" she goes to the same colla- "

The slightly shorter one paused, nudging the other painfully in his ribs and dropping the file on Taeyong's desk. They both stared awkwardly at y/n who was staring back at them wide-eyed.

" how did you know that? " she asked, standing up and reaching for the file on the table but Taeyong was quicker, " are you guys stalkers!? "

Both boys ran out of the room, slamming the door shut behind them as they did so.

" sit back down, y/n " Taeyong requested, " do you need a place to stay? we have plenty of rooms. "

Her eyes widened slightly in shock, she couldn't believe her ears at all.

" wh-what? " she stuttered out, looking at the infamous gang leader known as TY. The one who killed many people, the one who is recognised as cruel and vicious by society.

" Since you don't have a place to stay and you are our first witness, I wouldn't mind if you stayed here, " he said, pulling out a paper from the drawer, " sign here, to promise that you won't leak anything you saw yesterday or report us. "

y/n watched as the leader placed the pen and paper infront of her, she reached for the paper and read through all the things she's promising to and with shaky hands, she signed.

" So would you like to live here? " Taeyong asked again, taking the pen and paper away from her.

She gulped, looking down and fiddling with her fingers. If she were to accept the offer, she wouldn't have to worry about finding a place to stay warm, maybe they would provide her food too, but living with Mafias seemed like a dangerous thing to do.

But again, Taeyong had just busted the assumptions made by the national news. He was kind and even offered her a place to stay.

She looked up only to find Taeyong watching her nervous state, " I'll live here. "

Taeyong broke into a small smile, standing up and picking her bag up from beside him. Handing her bag back to her, he opened the door and once again gestured for y/n to follow him.

" You got to take note of some things, " he said, glancing down at the 5'3 ft girl, " you are not allowed to leave the base at all, do not try to escape, it won't work. "

" What if I want food? "

" There's plenty of food in the fridge, you can help yourself to them. You're also not allowed to participate or eavesdrop on our meetings because you're not part of our gang. " he said as they made their way down the long hallway, " the basement is out of bounds to you. "

" why? " she asked curiously as she tried to remember the number of doors they passed by, and trying to remember some names hung on it.

" because you're not in the gang, " he replied, placing his hands in his pockets, " Renjun said that you were pretty skilled, I'm guessing that you learned some self defence. "

" Who is Renjun? " she questioned but Taeyong did not reply her.

They came to a stop at the door on the right that was near the end of the hallway, Taeyong took a key out of his pocket and unlocked it before handing the key over to Y/n.

" Everybody is kind once you get to know them, some might take a longer time to warm up to you. If you need anything, you can ask the people who live near you. " he said, nodding to the door opposite hers, " try not to go exploring in the base, they might think you're up to something. "

" Do you trust me? " she asked, wondering why the leader was being so nice to her,
" what about my college? "

" I read through your information, you don't seem like a bad person, " he spoke, " about college, don't worry about that too early. "

Y/n nodded, taking a step into the bright and simple bedroom.

" You might meet some surprising people here. " he stated, " I figured that it would be easier for you to know us by our real names. " He paused for a moment, " I'm Taeyong. "

" You're the only girl here, so if anyone makes you uncomfortable, you can always talk to me or talk to anyone you're comfortable with, " He smiled kindly, closing the door and leaving the shocked girl standing in her new bedroom alone.
