Chapter 8

The mellow hum of breathing was what awoke me. At first it seemed quite peaceful, a rather relaxing way to wake up. However, I slowly began to realise that the breathing wasn't my own, and was much rather someone else's, right next to me.

"Kyaah!" I screamed, scrambling out of the bed and landing on the floor in the process. A loud grumble was heard as the bed began to shake, J-Hopes bed hair popping up into my range of view from my position on the floor.

"What did I say about no tricks?!" I asked, my chest heaving in deep breaths from the sudden surprise.

"Hm?" He hummed, rubbing one of his eyes with the palm of his hand and slowly awaking. "Oh," he chuckled, "I got cold." he said, smiling mischievously.

"J-J-Hope," I stuttered, shocked by his incredibly carefree attitude towards everything.

"It's only one J, pretty lady." He laughed again, rolling over to his other side and pulling the covers closer towards him.

I rolled my eyes at his attitude. This guy had the maturity of a ten-year-old at times.

"Wait, what time is it?" I asked, suddenly remembering the fact that I still had work to attend to.

"Uh, 8:06am." J-Hope responded.

"I need to get to work soon!" I hastily said, rushing up from my position on the floor and pacing towards the door.

"In your pyjamas?" J-Hope asked, stopping me in my tracks.

"Oh, right. Uh, may I use the bathroom?" I asked in a rushed tone.

"Go for it." J-Hope responded, digging his head into the pillow.

"Thanks," I muttered, barely audible.

I rushed to the bathroom, picking up my clothes from where I had left them yesterday, and closing the door. I had less than ten minutes before I would be considered late, and I was really not in the mood to have to explain my absence.

The explanation "Oh, I'm sorry I'm late, I was sold at auction last night to a bunch of strangers, and they didn't wake me up on time." didn't exactly seem very believable.

I rushed to take off my pyjamas, tripping over a couple of times in the process.

"Need any help?" J-Hope asked from the opposite side of the door. I could feel him mischievously smirking even from here. Rolling my eyes at his sarcastic question, I continued to dress myself in my work uniform, heading out the bathroom door once I was done.

"Before you go," J-Hope started, reaching into his pocket, "You'll need this." He handed me a small, black device.

"A pager?" I asked.

"Whenever it buzzes, make sure you get here straight away without any hesitations. Got it?" He asked, yet again showing his more serious side.

"But what if I'm in the middle or working-"

"Do you value your job over your life?" He asked, a pure, serious tone in his voice that made me shiver.

"I- No, of course not." I responded, taken aback by the question.

"Then you'll follow those rules without any 'ifs' or 'buts.' Got it?" He stated, making it clear that he was being completely serious.

"Yes." I simply responded, slightly intimidated by his sudden change of attitude.

"You better get to work then," he said, slightly easing the tension as a small smile returned to his face.

"O-Okay."

"See you later, sweet cheeks." He said with a smile, walking into the bathroom.

I took that as a signal to leave, and began to walk out of the room and leave the penthouse suite. An eerie silence hung within the room as I neared the door, as none of the boys were in sight.

I exited the suite and made my way over to the elevator, pressing the correct floor number inside and standing patiently.

For the first time in the past few hours, my mind began to race as I tried to comprehend everything that had happened. I could easily escape this hotel, run as far away as possible and try to avoid the situation that I had been thrown into, but the thought of the consequences if I were caught absolutely terrified me.

In comparison to the other chapters, this one is slightly boring and short, and I apologise for that.

Like I've said, I've got big plans for this story, and I hope you guys are excited to read more. :)
