Meanwhile in the kitchen:

Youngbin stood in the kitchen, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on Zuho, who was turning to prepare a cup of tea.

"Do you want to explain to me what exactly happened?" Youngbin asked in a calm but sharp tone.

"It's not my fault," Zuho replied indifferently. "I bumped into her while I was walking through the storage room. She was lost, and it seemed stupid to leave her in the rain. Besides, she doesn't seem harmful."

"Do you know how dangerous that is?" Youngbin leaned his hands on the counter. "We're a K-pop group. Small rumors can spread like wildfire."

"I get it," Zuho said, his expression still cool. "But she's here now. What do you want us to do?"

Youngbin took a deep breath.

"Alright. We'll keep an eye on her tonight, but don't take your eyes off her. We need to be careful."

Meanwhile, Lauren sat on the couch, surrounded by the members of SF9.

Taeyang looked at her with curiosity and asked, "So... what's your name?"

Lauren smiled slightly. "Lauren."

"Oh you can speak Korean?! Cool..." Chani said in a relatively quiet voice.

"Nice to meet you, Lauren!" said Dawon with a wide grin. "What's your MBTI?"

"ISFP," Lauren replied.

Just then, Youngbin and Zuho returned from the kitchen, and Rowoon raised an eyebrow.

"Youngbin's also ISFP," he noted, giving a small smile.

Suddenly, Hwiyoung locked his serious gaze on her and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Before Lauren could answer, Inseong quickly intervened. "Hwiyoung, calm down. You're scaring her."

"I'm just asking a question," he said, not taking his eyes off her.

"Enough, Hwiyoung," said Jaeyoon in a light tone. "Give her some peace."

Youngbin raised a hand to silence everyone. "I'm sure Lauren is tired. I have a private room, so I'll offer it to her to sleep in tonight. I'll sleep in Inseong and Jaeyoon's room. They have an extra bed."

Lauren nodded, trying to hide her relief.

In the middle of the night:

The Silence of the Night
Everyone went to sleep, but Lauren couldn't fall asleep. She pulled out her phone and began searching for information about SF9 - songs, music videos, interviews. She made notes about each member, trying to understand them better.

Eventually, she decided to get up and pour herself some water. She quietly walked to the kitchen, poured water from the refrigerator, when suddenly she heard a voice behind her.

"What are you doing?" Jaeyoon stood in the kitchen doorway, a small smile on his face.
Lauren jumped, almost spilling the water. "You scared me!"

"Sorry," he said, walking closer to her

"Sorry," he said, walking closer to her. "I can't sleep. Want to go out to the balcony? The air there is calming."

She nodded, feeling a little more at ease.

Lauren and Jaeyoon went out to the balcony together, the quiet and cool night surrounding them. She knew this was just the beginning, but she had no idea where things would lead.
