5 Hours Later...
Y/N's Pov:
"This is a terrible idea," I muttered, pinching the bridge of my nose and flinching at my growing headache.
"Ah, Y/N~!" Jin laughed from behind the counter, shaking his head as he chopped some vegetables. "Everything will be fine, don't worry! Nothing will happen with us here to protect you."
I cocked an eyebrow at him. He couldn't be serious. Jin ignored the fact that I was staring at him, his happiness slowly overtaking my irritation. Who the hell can stay in a bad mood with you around?
"My friends tried protecting me for half a year," I grumbled, stealing a carrot before he could stop me. "Apparently, that doesn't help."
Jin nodded thoughtfully, stirred the soup and shrugged. "We could always make Kookie and Jiminie sit on him. That would stop him."
"Didn't you already do that in a V-live?" I giggled, imaging the two muscular men sitting on their angry hyung as I picked up my glass of wine.
Glancing up, he completely ignored my question and frantically waved a knife at me. "Yah! You're still a lightweight, right?" I nodded, confused why he was freaking out about it since I'd already had half the glass. "No drinking before dinner!"
Wha-
I squeaked and pulled my favorite red away from him when he reached for it. "But eomma~~ If I'm going to do this, I should at least get alcohol! I deserve it after everything I've been through." I gave him my best puppy dog eyes hoping that would help. It didn't.
"No." He said flatly, quickly swiping the glass and downing the contents in two gulps.
BISH!
"You should have Kookie-ah teach you how to do a puppy face." He said, throwing the vegetables into the pan he had started beside the soup. "You're terrible at it."
My mouth fell open. I was both insulted and impressed. "Y-yah! First, you just stole my wine, AND you insult my puppy eyes! What the he-"
"LANGUAGE!"
I snapped my mouth shut so quickly I bit my tongue and pouted. This was going to be harder than I thought, and not just because of Yoongi. Jin laughed when he saw my frustration and winked, blowing me a finger heart.
"Mama knows best. Now go get the others, we're ready to eat~"
He shooed me away from the massive kitchen. So I followed the sound of boys yelling down the hall to the game room at the other end of the penthouse. Inside, the maknae line was playing a fierce round of mario kart while Namjoon was trying (and failing) to read in the corner.
Jin definitely doesn't know about this.
RM noticed me first and the expression on his face made me grin. He looked desperate and grateful, wincing when the boys yelled during a crash. Putting the book away, he smiled at me.
"Hey Y/N, everything okay? Do you need anything?"
I smiled at him. That's a loaded question.
"Wine?" I asked hopefully, only to laugh it off when he just blinked at me, completely confused. "Never mind, Joonie." I motioned towards the kitchen. "Jin wanted me to tell you dinner is ready."
Suddenly the game stopped and the boys ran out, yelling excitedly, leaving me and Namjoon behind.
Walking up to me, he shook his head and scratched the back of his neck. "They're like puppies."
I nodded, grinning after them and whishing I could be that happy. "No kidding..." As we walked out together, I shook my head, speaking more to myself than to him. "Living with you guys is going to be interesting, hu?"
His dimple flashed and he bobbed his head, a large smile spreading across his face. "You have no idea."
Ah, Y/N. You pabo. What did you get yourself into...?
~*~
After dinner, Jin divided the chores so we each had something to do that would help with clean up. He wouldn't say it, but he was anxious too, only relaxing when we were finished and he walked me to my room.
"....Jin." I eyed the door before frowning at him. "Are you sure there isn't another room?"
I can't be this unlucky.
He shook his head and smiled apologetically. "Anni. Yoongi-ah is a light sleeper so he took the room farthest away from the rest of us. It just...happens to be across from the only guestroom."
I groaned. "Of course."
"Y/N-ah~" he placed his hands on my shoulders and bent down so he could look at me. "If you're really that worried, I can take you back to EXO's dorm right now. But you have to decide what you want to do. We will understand if you want to leave. I promise."
Like it's that easy?
Taking a deep breath, I rolled my shoulders back so I was standing straight, and showed him my determination. "No. I'm sorry. It's just....I'm nervous. That's all. I'll stay."
Grinning, he ruffled my hair. "Ah~~ my tough little Y/N, there's no need to apologize." He ushered me into the room. "See you in the morning."
I nodded sheepishly. As I watched him walk back down the hall, my stomach twisted itself into knots.
How the hell did I let you talk me into this, Jin?!
"Noona."
"....Noona...."
"NOONA!!!"
I yelped at the sudden noise and jumped, scared out of my distracted thoughts by Kookie's voice behind me. Placing my hand to my chest, I glared at the bunny boy, my heart pounding against my chest. "Really, Kookie? Really?"
He giggled and shrugged. "Sorry." He pulled me inside and guided me towards the bed in the center of the room and pointed to the object resting against the nightstand, just within reach of the bed. "Anyway, here."
....
I blinked at him.
"Just in case." He winked, giving me a perfect bunny smile.
"....." I picked it up and examined the weight. It was a small baseball bat, perfect for someone my size.
"If you need anything, I'm down the hall, first door on the right, so don't be afraid to come find me, okay?" Kookie smiled and wrapped me in a tight hug. "Just lock your door and stay in your room. They'll probably come back late so he won't even know you're here."
"Y-yeah." I squeezed Kookie before pulling away and setting the bat back against the table. "Thank you, Kookie."
He flashed me another smile and waved before opening the door to leave. "Anytime! Goodnight Noona."
"Night." When he closed the door, I promptly snapped the lock into place behind him and placed my head against the cool wood. "Can't say if it will be good though..."

Yoongi's Pov:
The dorm was quiet when I finally came home. Hoseok and I had spent the afternoon drinking and talking after returning Baekhyun, but he had left me for some friends at a nearby club. Which worked out well for me because I'd gone straight to the studio. After "talking" with Y/N, I felt refreshed, and the block I'd been facing since she left was finally lifting. Now PD-nim wouldn't be able to say that I was being unproductive.
Pushing my door open, I paused and glanced at the guestroom across from me. The door was slightly ajar, which was unusual, but I shrugged it off thinking Jungkookie was sleeping there again. Walking around the dorm at night was dangerous, you never knew where you would find him lying about.
I closed my door and went to the closet for a clean set of underwear. Today had been eventful, and now all I wanted to do was shower and crawl into bed. As I pulled out a new pair, I heard the guestroom door open, followed by a very quiet curse when the hinges squeaked. It felt like everything stopped and I slpwly turned my head, looking over my shoulder in the direction of the voice.
.....It can't be...there's no way she would...
But desperation clawed at me and I ran to the door. Throwing my door open, my mouth dropped at the person across from me, carefully closing theirs. My heart stopped for a painful second before slamming wildly against my chest.
"Y-Y/N?!"
Her head snapped up and those hazel eyes went wide. Those soft lips that haunted me formed a perfect "O", followed quickly by an "Oh shit."
I threw myself at her as she shoved the door shut, but she was faster. I crashed against the wood, my mind racing.
"Y/N....Jagi, open the door." I panted. It felt like I could barely breathe. Trying to steady myself so I wouldn't scare her, I lay my head against the door and took a breath.
Her voice was quiet, but determined when it drifted from the other side. "No."
I laughed. I couldn't help it. She was going to tease me right over the edge of my sanity and not feel bad about it.
"Babygirl," I cooed, trying to keep my voice soothing, "if you didn't want to see me, you wouldn't have come back. You certainly wouldn't have come here."
When she stayed silent, I slapped my palm against the door and hissed, trying not to wake the others. "Y/N, open the damned door!"
Why was she torturing me like this? I just wanted to see her. Hold her. If she would just stop being so damned stubborn and let me explain.
"Fine," I growled when she stayed quiet. "You have to come out eventually, sweetheart. And when you do, I'll be right here." Frustrated, I sat on the floor, crossed my arms, and leaned back against the door. It was going to be a long night, but I didn't care.
As my eyes drifted shut, a single thought kept repeating in my mind, lulling me into the first restful sleep I'd had in months.
She's back.
