18.

Sehee's hands fisted the material of her pants as she silently looked out of the car window. Since leaving the restaurant, Seokjin hadn't uttered a word, only asked her if it was alright if he took her somewhere.

To say, Sehee was scared would be an understatement. She was terrified. Even though she trusted Seokjin to some extent, she was still a little sceptical with his mystery loving attitude. He was keeping a lot of things from her hidden and she could only read him only when he wanted her to. Right now, he didn't want her to know what was going through his mind.

To top it off they were entering a very quiet neighborhood with very big houses. From outside they looked very lavish but the high compound walls could hide anything they wanted to.

"Where are we going?" She asked, unable to keep the growing panic out of her voice. Her heart started beating erratically as he continued to look forward, not sparing her a glance.

"Seokjin, please. Talk to me." She asked, desperately clutching his arm and finally succeeding in grabbing his attention. "Trust me, Sehee." He said simply before looking forward again.

With her body and mind in high alert mode, she watched him park his car infront of a big house. Getting out, Seokjin quickly ran up to her side, opening the door and encouraging her to step out. Still cautious and keeping her pepper spray ready, she let him lead her through the simple looking wooden door.

"Guys, I'm home." Seokjin called out, taking his shoes off and stepping in further. For the first time since leaving the restaurant, he smiled. "Welcome to my sweet home and I'm warning you already. You're going to be serenaded with questions and compliments."

Before she could reply she heard a male voice. "Hyung, where have you been? I had no one to play games with. I'm going to beat you this time." The male, probably twenty or something said excitedly, not even noticing her presence until Seokjin pointed it out.

"Calm down, Jungkook. Won't you greet Sehee first?" The young man's eyebrows scrunched in confusion before moving towards the woman standing in the doorway. His already big eyes widened even more, his jaw going slack as he looked at the woman infront of him.

"So, you are indeed real." That made Sehee laugh, her fear melting away looking at his cute bunny like features. "You can touch me to confirm." She said putting her hand infront of him. If it was possible, his eyes grew wider, his cheeks growing red as he took off screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Jin hyung brought his girlfriend!"

Sehee chuckled again, stepping inside further. Seokjin tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "There goes my alone time with you. I didn't want to introduce you to them so soon." He said with a wistful smile. "Then why did you bring me here?"

"To let you know that you are not alone. If that man comes to get you, you'll have all seven of us to help you." Sehee sighed, feeling a smile creep up to her lips. "You could have done it in a less dramatic way though. Do you even know how scared I was?"

"That can't happen. He's an acting major." Another male voice said, interrupting their little moment. Sehee looked over at the man who looked quite close to her age. He was slight in build, his ice white hair bringing his pale skin into sharp focus. His eyes reminded her of felines, lazy looking but equally alert. His voice was very quiet but it held an authority that made one listen to him silently.

Sehee smiled brightly putting her hand forward. "You must be Yoongi. Seokjin has mentioned you before. I'm Sehee." He stayed silent, evaluating her. His eyes narrowing, his lips thinning as he looked her from head to toe. After a thorough inspection he clasped her tiny hand in his veiny one, giving it a firm shake. "I know who you are. Hyung wouldn't stop talking about you. Come in. The boys are thrilled to meet you."

She had taken no more than two steps when two more men came towards them, running and giggling. One of them had blonde hair while the other had black hair. The black haired man gave a big boxy smile, looking like an innocent child as he took her hand in his.

"Hyung finally brought you to meet us. I'm Taehyung and this is Jimin." He said in his surprisingly deep voice and pointed towards the blonde. She smiled brightly at the boys as they pulled her further inside. "Hyung said you own a ramen house. Will you cook for us?" Jimin asked, his eyes almost disappearing as he smiled but the mischief was clear in his voice.

"Yes, of course I'll cook for you guys." She replied but Seokjin was quick to cut her off. "She has been here less than five minutes and you're asking her to cook for you? I've taught you guys better." The boys looked down bashfully. 

"Hello, noona. I'm Hoseok but everyone calls me Hobi." Another man entered right then with the biggest and brightest smile she had ever seen. She could well understand why Seokjin called him the happy pill. Just one look at him and you'd find yourself smiling. "Hello, Hobi. Im Sehee." He chuckled, pulling her in a tight hug, surprising her. "Everyone in this house knows who you are, noona. Jin hyung can't stop talking about you. He's absolutely in lo-"
"Alright, that's enough." Seokjin cut Hobi's words which made the latter to press his lips together angrily but if anything, he looked even more cute as two dimples popped above his upper lips.

Sehee couldn't help but laugh at how flustered Seokjin looked from all the TMI his friends were giving her.

"Where is Namjoon?" Seokjin asked changing the subject quickly. The four men exchanged glances with each other before a quiet, scratchy voice caught their attention. "Last time I checked, he was in the kitchen making tea." At Yoongi's declaration Hoseok sprinted towards the kitchen bringing a tall man behind him, drenched in water.

Seokjin sighed beside her. "What happened?"
"The tap broke and I tried to repair it but...." Namjoon trailed off as he noticed the only female standing in the middle of the living room with a very amused smile. "Oh, I didn't know you brought a guest, hyung." The man quickly bowed, surprising Sehee with his manners as opposed to the hyper boys in the house. "I'm Kim Namjoon. Nice to meet you Sehee noona." She bowed as well. "Nice to meet you too, Namjoon and there's no need to be so formal with me. Consider me like your sister."

The boys all gave her bright smiles as they tried to make her feel comfortable. Jungkook brought her a glass of water and finally introduced himself before opting to sit beside his Hobi hyung. Yoongi brought her snacks while they asked her questions about herself and answered some of her own, all the while keeping their profession secret from her.
