Your new desk mate brings his brothers to school and introduces them to you. All they wanted to do was introduce themselves to you but maybe they came off too strong and it might have backfired.

((Their stage names and real names are used interchangeably here. Hope it isn't too confusing!))
V entered class, ignoring all the girls that were fawning over him in the hallway. Mortal women were so easily drawn by looks that it annoyed him. When his eyes fell on you, his desk mate, a smile appeared on his face.
"Good morning!" He greeted with his boxy smile as he sat down, making the other girls scoff in jealousy.
"Hey." You straightened up.
"How was your weekend?" He asked and your mood darkened at the memory of the wolves leaving. V noticed this and mentally scolded himself for asking you when he already knew what happened.
"Didn't do much. What about you?" You lied with a forced smile.
"Oh, my brothers and I finalised the move into our permanent house so it's just been moving around and unpacking all the boxes to settle in. It has been really tiring but we're always excited to move into a new place." V rambled and you nodded your head with a congratulatory smile.
Having a good look at V's face, you noticed something that was never really apparent to you until you realised it.
V was one of the boys in the dream you had about the wolves as humans. He was the human version of Taehyung. You have officially gone insane, how could you have dreamt of your friend as your wolf?
"Well, V, are your brothers attending school too?" You changed the subject.
"Yeah. I'm usually the scout first, which is why I came alone. But now that we've officially moved in, they're coming today." V explained.
"Class, we have some new students." You didn't even notice that the teacher had come in. You turned to face the front and your eyes widened, your jaw dropping slightly.
It was them, the 6 other boys from your dream. How could it be? You were in disbelief, you were sure you have never seen them before in real life and yet, they were here, standing in front of you as real humans. In your dream, they were just the human versions of your wolves. To be sure you weren't dreaming, you blinked and rubbed your eyes.
"I'm RM."
"Suga."
"I'm J-Hope!"
"Hello, I'm Seokjin."
"Jimin."
"Jungkook."
You let out a sigh of relief when they mostly had different names. Obviously, it wasn't their real name like how V's name is definitely a fake name. You subtly side eyed V, who gave the boys a little wave. They were his brothers.
"Are they your brothers?" You whispered.
"Mhmm." He hummed.
"(y/n)." Their vision all zeroed in on you but you were too busy mentally freaking out to notice. The teacher assigned them their seats. Two were in front of you and V, two were beside V and the last two were diagonally in front. It was like you were literally backed into a corner.
The pale boy in front of you, that was Yoongi. The white wolf. And the one next to him was Jimin, the boys who complained about bland chicken.
"Sorry." You frowned and stood up, excusing yourself to go to the bathroom. As you closed your eyes and leaned against the stall door. Why was your heart suddenly racing?
"Did we scare her? She looked so overwhelmed." Jungkook thought. Maybe the boys all coming at once was too much.
"Poor (y/n). She looked scared too." Jimin whimpered.
"Let's just take it slow, don't come on too strong or force her to do anything. It's probably because she remembered our faces from her dreams." Namjoon said and the rest nodded.
You managed to calm yourself down in the bathroom for a few minutes and come back to class. You sat down with a slightly bow of your head and tried to ignore the boys that were sitting around you as you paid attention to the teacher, taking notes down. V side eyed you and smiled softly to himself. You were just so special.
When lunch came around, you grabbed your bag and got ready to leave class with V trailing behind you.
"Umm... Why don't you join your brothers? It wouldn't be nice to leave them on their first day." You told V, fiddling with the strap of your bag. V felt hurt as he gave you a crestfallen look.
"We don't mind joining you, if that's okay with you of course." RM slung his arm around V's shoulders. You bit your bottom lip.
"You guys should see the school and mingle with other students... I'll see you after lunch." You quickly excused at the end and sped walked away.
"(y/n)! Wait." V whimpered.
"She eats alone?" Yoongi asked. V nodded. Well, you haven't really been eating alone. V has been joining you every day ever since he came to the school.
"Should we find her?" Hoseok suggested.
"No, let's just let her have her space. We may scare her off." Jin said and they walked the other way.
You let out a sigh and sat down. You felt bad for turning them away when they were trying to be nice to you but you were used to being alone and the 7 of them altogether was just too overwhelming. For some reason, you just couldn't get rid of the image of V's crestfallen expression from your head.
"Maybe this is why you don't have friends." You scolded yourself. It felt quiet without V and his random conversations. You have grown used to it after he had been eating with you.
After school, you were able to go home before work started. You had gotten a new, better paying job as a barista at local, hipster cafe.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Coming!" You were just about to leave the house.
"Hello- Oh! V?" You nearly jumped back when you saw V and one of his brothers, Jimin, standing at your door step. You weren't expecting to see them here.
"(y/n)?! You're our new neighbour?!" V gasped. That's when you remembered that you saw moving trucks the other day. Were V and his brothers your new neighbours? That was almost too coincidental but you were kind of glad that they were at least your age and people you kind of knew. You gave a small smile and nodded.
"We actually came over to ask if our new neighbour would like to come over for dinner. We didn't know it was going to be you." Jimin laughed.
"Right... I'm actually working though. Got a new job." You said, more to Taehyung. Taehyung knew you worked at a barbecue restaurant, you had told him during one of your lunch talks.
"You got a new job? Congratulations!" V suddenly pulled you in for a hug, making you choke.
"T-Thanks." You blushed.
"When's your next day off? We would love to have to you over, we can celebrate you getting a new job too!" V exclaimed excitedly and his brother nodded in agreement. You couldn't help but laugh.
"Ah, there's no need for that. I wouldn't want to be a bother." You rubbed the back of your neck sheepishly. You saw the sad looks they gave you and felt bad. You were rejecting them twice in a day and you knew that wasn't very nice of you when they were trying to be friendly.
"My next off day is on Friday." You said softly.
"Alright! We'll see you Friday! Have a great day and all the best for your new job!" Taehyung clapped.
"Thank you." You smiled and they ran off. You chuckled and shook your head. They were so full of energy that the two together reminded you of Jimin and Taehyung. You went to the bus stop to take the bus into town.
"She's coming on Friday!" The two wolves entered the house.
"She actually agreed?" Yoongi asked.
"You should know that no one can resist our charms." The two scoffed, making the other wolves give them disgusted looks. But nonetheless, they were excited for you to come over. That was a step in the right direction. Jin and Yoongi, the chefs of the pack, had to decide what to cook for the Friday dinner and go grocery shopping the day before.
"She got a new job too, today is her first day. We caught her just as she was leaving. She seemed excited for it." Jimin informed.
"That's good. She really didn't like working at the barbecue place. The working hours were not flexible and the pay wasn't even that good." Namjoon shook his head. They all know how tired you are when you return home from work.
"What did you all think of human school?" Taehyung asked.
"Boring. And human girls are weird. They fall so easily for looks." Jungkook rolled his eyes.
"Except (y/n)." Hoseok laughed.
"That's what makes her perfect." Jin grinned and the rest agreed. You were probably the only one that wasn't head over heels for them just because they were good looking. You looked at them as normal people.
"Well, it is an adjustment but we're all there for one reason only. To be close to her." Namjoon said.
"I'm going for my run." Jungkook stood up. Namjoon, Taehyung and Hoseok decided to join him. They all turned into their wolves and ran off into the forest. When the wolves do their daily run, they usually patrol as well to make sure that there hasn't been any intruders on their land.
"Smell that?" Jungkook looked up. The other 3 followed along, sniffing the area's ground. There was an unknown scent, another wolf had come onto their territory.
"The scent is quite faint. He probably passed this place a few hours ago." Hoseok noted.
"Either he passed by or he's still here." Namjoon looked around.
"(y/n)'s house isn't too far from here. Shall we start a patrol shift? In case the intruder comes for her?" Taehyung asked.
"No. This is the first time we caught such a scent so we don't know for sure why this rogue came. We'll wait and come again tomorrow. If the scent is still here or in other areas, especially closer to her house, then we'll start a patrol shift. I don't want you guys or the others to be too alarmed over this." Namjoon ordered.
"Hopefully it's just a passing rogue then." Jungkook continued walking. Once they did a full scout, they went back home.
"How was it?" Jin asked the group that walked in.
"We found possible traces of a rogue. We'll go out and scout again tomorrow to determine if he's a passer or intruder." Hoseok explained and Jin nodded his head. The 4 boys ran to their rooms.
"A rogue?" Yoongi came out.
"I hope he isn't trouble." Jimin frowned, crossing his arms.
"Well, he won't make it far if he decides to challenge the 7 princes in their own territory." Yoongi scoffed, heading to the kitchen.
"Namjoon's right, we shouldn't worry about it. It could just be a passer. Now come on, let's start on dinner." Jin wrapped his arm around Jimin's shoulders and walked to the kitchen to join Yoongi in cooking. Yoongi cooked a big pan of kimchi fried rice while Jimin helped Jin with making some stir fried marinated beef to have on the side.
"Dinner!" Jin called and the others came down, fresh out of the shower. They sat down and began to eat.
It was late and everyone had gone to bed but Yoongi stood in the back porch, alone in the dark. He held a glass of whiskey, sipping it lightly. It wasn't like himself to be feeling such strong emotions. He wanted to see you.
He missed you.
He wasn't one that openly displayed affection but he still adored the way you would try to get his attention by disturbing him with hugs. Though, he wouldn't really consider them disturbances.
"Hyung?" Jimin was coming down fro a glass of water when he saw Yoongi turn and run off into the forest.
Yoongi ran until he appeared outside your cabin but he kept his distance. He panted as he stood behind a tree. You had already come back from work and he could see you walk past the window occasionally, dancing and singing to yourself. He couldn't help but smile at your goofiness.
When he focused again, he met eyes with you. You were standing at the window, staring at him. Did you see him?
"Yoongi?" You whispered, seeing a small hint of white. No doubt, it was pure white, as white as the moon, almost shimmering. You knew only one wolf had that coat.
The pair of eyes stared back at you and your heart pounded against your chest as you ran out but the creature ran away as quickly as you came out.
"Yoongi!" You called but there was no reply. Maybe your eyes were really playing a trick on you.
The night wind made you shiver, reminding you that you were standing outside in the dead of night, just in your pyjamas. Wrapping your arms around yourself, you headed back inside. As the door shut, Yoongi stepped back out from the shadows. He scolded himself for being careless. As one of the oldest of the pack and an alpha, he should not be reckless.
"Hyung... Did you see her?" Jimin asked.
"I'm going to walk. Go back to sleep." Yoongi shut the younger off and headed to the lake. He stood by the edge, keeping his paws a safe distance from the water since he wasn't a fan of the water.
Closing his eyes, he howled into the night.
Your eyes opened at the howl that sounded through the night. Your heart warmed at the thought that it was one of the wolves. They were still here.

You hummed as you listened to your music while heading down to the bus stop. When you looked up, you stopped when you saw 7 of your new classmates there. Right, you forgot that they were also your new neighbours. Clearing your throat, you stepped closer and bowed your head.
"She's here!" They all thought excitedly. Having lived with you, they knew what time you took the bus every morning so they deliberately planned to be there at the same time as you.
"So, how was your new job last night?" V started a conversation first, making the others eye him in jealousy.
"Good. I like it." You nodded your head as you took out of your earpiece.
"That's good to hear. I'm glad you're enjoying it more than that old barbecue place, huh? So what's your new job having you do?" V chuckled and you couldn't help but give him a small smile.
"It's definitely a lot better. Pay is better too. I'm a barista at a cafe. It's a lot more chill and just overall, a much better job." You explained.
"She's really so awesome. It amazes me how carries her conversations so well." RM melted.
"Uhh... So... Listen, I want to apologise to all of you for my behaviour in school yesterday. It was uncalled for and I let my anxiety get the best of me. You guys are new around here and you were just trying to be nice. I'm just not used to having so many people talking to me at once." You chuckled nervously as you rubbed the back of your neck.
"She's so adorable." They all thought in unison.
"No, don't apologise. It was our fault for getting too excited, not yours. We should have never overwhelmed you like that by coming at you all at once. You have every right to act the way you did." Seokjin smiled.
"Yeah! We were just excited to make friends after V told us about you." J-Hope grinned. V talks about you?
"F-Friends?" You stuttered.
"Yeah!"
"You wanna be friends with me?" You blinked and pointed to yourself. They all nodded their heads and you felt your cheeks heat up. You smiled softly, they reminded you of your wolves.
"O-Okay." You said shyly. Taehyung and Jimin excitedly pulled you into a hug and you choked. Yoongi and Namjoon grabbed the backs of their collars to separate them from you. Luckily, the bus came and all of you boarded together. There was one seat left and you were going to stand but Yoongi moved you to sit down.
"Sit." He said, looking away. You nodded your head wordlessly as he stood over you.
As the bus ride progressed, you tried to focus on something other than the pale boy that stood over you. When you saw an old lady board the bus though, you stood up, almost knocking him over in the shaky bus.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Ahjumma, sit here." You waved to the old lady with a smile. You held her hand to help her shuffle over and sit down. The old lady sent you a grateful smile to which you smiled back and bowed your head respectfully. Yoongi looked at you in adoration.
"Her heart is forever so big." He sighed.
"Be careful." Jungkook held your arm. You nodded your head and stood between him and Taehyung to steady yourself. Once the bus stopped, you all got off.
"You guys shouldn't walk in with me." You stepped aside from them, already seeing some students staring and pointing at you.
"Why?" Hoseok asked.
"I'm not exactly the most popular in school. It won't be good for you guys if you hang out with me. You'll become outcasts." You lowered your head. Hands placed themselves on your shoulders and you looked up to see Taehyung.
"We don't care. You're our friend now and we don't ever leave our friends alone. They wanna be salty over it, let them. We're sticking by you, no matter what." He said reassuringly and you looked to the others, who nodded in agreement. Jungkook slung his arm around you and you all headed into school. As predicted, everyone was pointing and talking about you.
"What are they doing with her?"
"She's a loser."
You closed your eyes and took a deep breath to ignore their comments like you always do. You headed to your locker to exchange your books. Unfortunately, your locker wasn't beside the boys.
"So, what spell did you cast on them?" Kira leaned against the other lockers. You gave her a weird look but continued your business.
"I was talking to you." She slammed your locker door close, making you jump back in shock.
"Is something wrong here?" You felt the presence of all 7 boys behind you. Kira stepped back in slight fear. She shot you a glare and flipped her hair before she scurried away with her friends. You sighed.
"Let's go to class." You said and started walking with them. They took their seats while you slid into your chair beside Taehyung.
The boys were all afraid you would be upset after that confrontation with Kira but you were as cool as a cucumber. You unpacked your bag, taking your necessary study materials out as if nothing happened. Honestly, you were just so used to it that you didn't care.
"(y/n), are you okay?" Taehyung asked cautiously.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" You turned to him in confusion, tilting your head.
"Just leave it, Tae." Jin said.
"I agree. If she says that she is fine, let's leave it. We don't give her enough credit, she's a lot stronger than what she lets on." Namjoon told them. Yes, they all definitely agreed with their leader on that.
