Living With Stray Kids?

Chapter 6: Left With The Aussies

Areum's POV:

I was engulfed in a hug by Felix. I didn't know how to react, but it made me feel protected, so I let my guard down. I couldn't help it, I started crying. I was starting to feel better, but all of a sudden I felt the cold air on my face again. 

I panicked, they could all see my tear streaked face now! I frantically looked up at Felix, who shared my expression once he saw me. Jisung was standing there too to my surprise, and he looked just as startled. This only caused me to panic more, and I was internally freaking out.

Oh my god, someone let me just disappear!!!

All of sudden I felt a small weight on my head and I was blinded. Confused, I didn't know how to react. I felt a hand grab me by my arm and lead me somewhere. 

What is going on??  I thought.

I was about to ask, but then the towel was removed from my head and I was faced with a calm looking Minho. "Stay in this room until breakfast is ready. I get you're scared, but you cry too much, and we're gonna end up being late since you keep on distracting everyone. I'm not trying to be mean, this is just so you don't feel too overwhelmed."

I nodded my head, taking in the surroundings of the room I had not been introduced to in person yet. I assumed it was Jeongin's and Jisung's room, so I just sat down on one of the beds waiting.

A couple minutes later a knock sounded on the wooden door. My head shot up towards the noise, and a bright faced Jeongin gave me a small smile. "Breakfast is ready!" he said cutely in English.

"Thanks, I'm coming" I said quietly. I slowly made my way to the kitchen, and made a quick eye-contact with Minho which I immediately broke. The welcoming smell of breakfast calmed me down, awakening the beast in my stomach. Just as I was about to sit down, Chan bursted into the kitchen, almost causing me to fall, and actually causing Felix to fall into Seungmin.

"Guys the manager says you have to leave an hour early to go to a schedule before you leave. No time for breakfast, grab something to eat on the way." Chan informed the members.

The once peaceful kitchen was now bustling with movement, people moving left and right in attempts to leave the dorm on time. Chan then walked over to me, carrying a large cardboard box. "Delivery for Ms. Areum Hwang?" he said in English. "We can just use English now if you're more comfortable with that. I know Felix won't mind" he gave me a wink and a smile.

I just nodded, still a bit confused about the large box that was now in my hands. "What's this?" I asked him.

"Just all the clothes you ordered" he replied. My eyes widened. I ordered that much?! 

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I didn't realize how much I added to the cart, and then Hyunjin pressed order, and I just didn't-"

"Hey, hey, it's okay!" he chuckled. "If you're gonna be here for an entire month, you'll probably need them. And you seem like the type to enjoy shopping, so enjoy the clothes" he smiled assuring. 

"Okay guys, let's go!" Changbin's voice ringed throughout the dorm. He turned to Chan. "The food me and Felix ordered for lunch is on its way. It'll be here in about an hour, so just skip breakfast and eat the food we ordered." Changbin glanced over at me, giving me a small "Fighting!". I smiled at the gesture, returning it with the same enthusiasm.

All the members shuffled out of the dorm, leaving me with the two Australian members of the group. Except Minho was still there? With a quick motion of his hand, he called me to the door while no one was looking. I slowly approached, cautiously making my way over to the man whom I still had mixed feelings towards.
