As Hongjoong's stare turned cold and Seongwha readjusted his position, as if ready to stand up, the rest of Ateez realized how much their leaders disliked Jeno. The poor boy never did anything but he cared for you far too much. While the others cared for you nonetheless, they knew they had a debt to owe to Ateez which Jeno was close to forgetting.

"Nice to meet you Jeno," you replied as the two of you continued to smile at the other.

You felt comfortable seeing these boys as their smiles made you feel as if you were home again.

Hongjoong cleared his throat as he readjusted his shirt, "alright let's move on. Who's next?"

Looking up at your leader, you couldn't help but notice the awkward stances of the Ateez members. Jongho was looking to the side while Yeosang kept glancing at Wooyoung who also seemed to be acting differently. 

"Well you met me today," Renjun spoke from his seat, waving at you, "I'm the medic in Decim and I taught you some things just like Jongho."

"I didn't even know that I could help with medical stuff," you admitted, turning towards Hongjoong.

Before he could explain, Yunho quickly stood from his spot, "you do! But you just messed up some stitches once so Hongjoong doesn't let you anymore..."

"Thank you for explaining, Yunho," Seongwha acknowledged, "but you didn't need to stand up to say that. Please sit down."

San tried to hide his laugh alongside Yeosang while Yunho sat back into his seat, heat growing in his face.

"And last but not least, I'm Chenle! I'm with Jisung in the 'not knowing you very well' category. I joined a couple of months before him but I only met you once before he did so... yeah."

You smiled at his shy and awkward composure. While the rest of the members seemed more confident in themselves and their roles, he still had a childlike innocence to him.

As Seongwha stood up to speak, you couldn't help but get lost in your own thoughts. After every member of Decim introduced themselves you felt a wave of familiarity hit you; new memories opening every second. It was as if their faces and names finally completed a puzzle-piece of moments related to them.

"Renjun what does this drug do?"

"(Y/n) that's not something you should just play around with, put that down!"

"Jeno, catch it!"

"Come on guys, please that one was expensive and illegal!"

You couldn't help but smile sweetly at the thought that these boys were those that kept you happy through your childhood; those that you played and laughed with.

"So, what do you say, (Y/n)?"

You snapped out of your thoughts as your head turned to Seonghwa. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

He sighed before explaining, "while you were daydreaming, I announced our plan to leave tonight as we were assigned an important midnight mission by our head offices. We do worry for the wound in your arm but we can't ignore orders from our higherups."

"She can stay here with us," Mark rebuttaled.

Seonghwa sighed but before he could speak, Hongjoong spoke up, "I'm sure you know and understand why we can't do that. You do, don't you?"

"I wish I could but I'm just questioning your morals here. Even your father had always claimed that Ateez was the most loyal group there is; sacrificing anything for the safety of your members. Why are you willing to sacrifice (Y/n)'s safety now?"
