Avenge || Jake Sim

08 | dad's orders

"Bye. And take care." I said, as he nodded and left, leaving me and Sunghoon alone in the room.

"Wanna get out of this room?" Sunghoon asked, breaking the ice between us, pointing outside the door.

"Yeah, I feel suffocated." I said while shifting towards the edge of the mattress in order to get up. He helped me stand up by taking my right hand around his neck which took the weight off my right leg.

We walked up to the living room, Sunghoon telling me the layout of this place along the way.

"Drop me on the couch." I said, pointing at the comfortable looking sofa a few feet away from us. We both inched closer towards the couch, soon after which I unwrapped my hand around him and sat down, Sunghoon plopping down beside me with a small sigh.

"So, are you going introduce them to me or am I stuck calling them black haired dude or grey haired dude?" I said, pointing to one grey haired male who was on his phone and the black haired male who was talking to a ice haired male. Sunghoon laughed at my question, shaking his head.

"The black haired guy is Jake. The grey dude sitting there is Ni-Ki and the one with whom Jake is talking to is Sunoo." He said, pointing at each individual so that I don't mess up their names.

"You guys are seven people right? Where are the other three?" I asked while looking around, trying to spot them but I didn't see anyone apart from these four.

"Heeseung is probably downstairs on the computer. Jungwon must be busy playing video games cause right now we don't have any work, I think. Jay is in the kitchen, making something for you to eat." He said, chuckling. My eyes widened when I heard the last person making something for me to eat.

"For me? You guys aren't eating? What time is it?" I asked, looking around for a wall clock to check the time but I didn't find any around me.

"It's twelve noon." He said, looking at his wrist watch. I gasped in surprise.

"What?! How the hell did I sleep that long?" I asked, shocked.

"Don't worry. You were dosed with anesthesia and some sleeping pills when we took out that bullet from your leg and stitched it up." He said, laughing at my shocked reaction. "You literally looked like a dead body when you were sleeping." He added, as he continued laughing. I looked away in embarrassment, since I had heard the same comment before from Yeonjun.

"Who did that?" I asked him, curious, remembering his words that my leg was treated by someone. "Like, who did this?" I added, pointing to my leg which was wrapped in bandages.

"Those two." Sunghoon replied, pointing at Sunoo and Jake, who were still busy talking about something which looked kind of important.

"I see." I acknowledged, nodding. A black haired male came out of the kitchen, making his way towards us.

"Ayo, Diana right?" He asked, standing in front of us. I nodded, but hesitated to speak anything since I couldn't recognise him.

"Jay." Sunghoon whispered in my ear, as if he knew what I was exactly thinking.

"Yeah, Diana." I said, smiling at him.

"I made something for you. Come have it." Jay said, pointing towards the dining table. I nodded, as I got up with the help of the couch's handle.

"I'll help, wait." Sunghoon said, as he held my right hand but I stopped him.

"No wait, let me try." I said, as I began hopping on one leg. It fortunately kind-of worked and my right leg didn't hurt much. I pulled out a chair after reaching the dinning table and sat on it, Sunghoon trailing behind me.

"You don't have anything to do?" I asked him, confused since I saw him silently sit in front of me, unlike walking away to resume his work like I had expected. He shook his head, denying.

"I feel like giving you company. You can throw your questions on me. I can see you have plenty of questions to ask." He said, a faint smile on his lips, purely out of hospitality. I nodded, reaching out to pick up the jug, filling the glass with water to drink.

"How old is Ni-Ki? He looks quite young." I asked him, pointing towards the grey haired male who was still on his phone, placing the glass on my lips and taking a big sip.

"He is eighteen." Sunghoon said, glancing at the said male for a second. Surprised, I spat the entire gulp of water on the table.

"What the- He is eighteen?!" I exclaimed, my eyes wide as saucers as I pointed to Ni-Ki.

"Why does everyone have that reaction when they know my age?" Ni-Ki complained, looking at me and Sunghoon, with an annoyed expression on his face. I heard Sunoo snickering from behind, as I looked at them in shock.

Oh god, what have I landed myself into?
