This is a really long chapter lol

Y/N's pov

"It's good to see you too Max."

A small smile formed on the man's face.

"You know what I mean Jimin, I thought and I still do think that it's not good that you came here, but if you're already here, come in".

He let all of us in quickly, we started walking toward the big door.

Next to the door stood two guards, their facial expressions were blank.

I could feel my body tense as my eyes caught sight of the guns they were holding.

No matter how many times I'm going to see guns from this close, it still terrifies me.

Opening the door, the guards stepped aside, letting us in.

This unfamiliar man, Max, stopped walking suddenly.

He looked at all of them before his eyes landed on me, my stomach started twisting.

I felt uneasy under his gaze.

"Who is this one?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Jin, still got the same answers as always.

All of you, I'm glad to see that you're alive."

He gave them a sincere smile.

It seems as if this guy knows them for a long time.

I knew who these guys are, I knew that they are always at risk and that the life they have, is not normal at all.

The life they are living, always having the possibility of something happening to them, that's terrifying.

Don't they want to build a future? A safe one? To not be afraid of the unknown, of what can happen if they lose their guard?

Are they even afraid?

On the other hand, it looks like they have been in this world, almost for their entire lives.

They probably don't know anything different.

Jungkook himself told me he's in this gang since he was 14.

That's such a young age, he's probably used to all of this by now.

"I have some food for all of you, come sit in the living room."

Walking into the big living room, I saw another guard, he was standing at the end of the room.

Why does he have so many guards?

Who is this guy?

Everyone sat down on the big sofa, I hesitated before sitting at the remaining space, next to Namjoon.

This man was sitting on the opposite sofa.

"So how have you been doing guys?"

"You know we can't tell you much."

"Yeah I know Jimin, I had to try tho."

He chuckled as he leaned back, wandering his eyes between everyone.

It seems as if the last time they have seen each other, was a really long time ago.

"I didn't get an answer Jin, who is that girl?"

The look he had in his eyes, was daring, he was uncomfortable with me being here.

"She's with us."

"Are you sure we can trust her?"

He raised an eyebrow, looking at me. He didn't want me here, and I can understand why.

He doesn't know who I am, there are guards in his house for a reason, he can't just trust anyone.

Jin looked toward me, meeting my shaking eyes, it was a quick glance before he returned his gaze to Max.

"Don't worry about her."

Max just nodded in response.

I know I can't trust anyone, but meeting another person from that foreign world just made me feel a little less terrified from all of them.

I have been with them for a while now, I went through some crazy experiences with them.

But I feel a little more at ease next to them.

What will happen when I wouldn't be necessary anymore?

I hope that wouldn't happen, but it will.

One day.

I'm again, trying to find something to hold on to, some hope.

Deep down, I really hope they wouldn't let me go.

The sound of footsteps made me glance up to see a few people entering the living room with food, laying it on the big table in front of us.

That's a lot of food, maybe even too much.

Everyone started to eat immediately, they must have been very hungry.

I surely felt uncomfortable, but I knew I had to eat. I looked at the food, and took a slice of bread, eating it.

"So guys, I guess you should stay here.

If you'll leave now toward the city, it'll get dark before you'll make it."

"Max."

"What is it Namjoon?"

"Did you had anything to do with the recent server that got stolen from the south gang?"

Max suddenly started laughing, his laughter lasted for less than a minute before his facial expression turned back to a serious one.

I felt chills run down my body at the sudden change in his behaviour.

Something was off about him.

"Why are you asking me about that?"

Everyone stayed silent, no one said anything. 

The tension in the room was intense.

My eyes slowly wandered between everyone.

Jimin and Taehyung were too caught up in the food, they didn't even glance up to look at Max.

However, Jin, Hoseok, Yoongi, Jungkook and Namjoon were very aware of what was going on, they stopped eating and looked up to meet Max's eyes.

They all shared the same look on their faces.

They looked annoyed.

Seeing that Namjoon was not responding to him, he continued.

"Yeah, you got me! I stole some information from them.

But you should be proud of me, I used to be against all of that before."

Hearing his voice, the way he spoke, I just lost my appetite in a second.

He made me feel so anxious and uncomfortable.

Do they really trust him?

"You know guys, it was lonely without you here."

The way he just changed the topic so quickly, made everything even weirder.

Getting just silence as a response again, he just kept talking.

"It's still early in the morning, so I guess you can go around the town.

You can take a shower if you want, just go to Shawn's shop to buy some clothes,
It's been years but he's still working.

The guest rooms are already ready for all of you.

There are brand new towels, toothbrushes and all the other stuff you need in every bathroom.

Just enjoy this day guys, don't worry about anything."

He smiled at them before getting up.

"Just, try not to talk to anyone.

I'll be in my office."

He walked away, leaving us alone.

Taehyung and Jimin suddenly glanced up to see Max walking away.

Their eyes turned dark.

This tension is way too much.

I saw everyone stealing glances at one another.

"Let's go."

Something just wasn't right and I could see it in their eyes.

Why would he tell them not to talk to anyone? I can already tell that they are the kind of people who are not afraid of anyone.

They seem like the type of people, who wouldn't like being told what they can and cannot do.

I could see in their eyes that they wanted to say something back to him for talking to them like that, but they didn't say anything.

They all got up, including me. Walking toward the door, the guards let us out.

Walking toward the gate, the guard standing next to the gate opened it for us as we got out.

They all started walking toward their cars.

Not knowing what else to do, I just walked toward Jin's car.

I didn't want to say anything unnecessary seeing that they are not speaking at all.

Once we were all inside the car, Jin started driving away, following behind him were the rest of the cars.

The ride was quiet, I could see Jin's hand tighten on the steering wheel.

It took them less than 2 minutes before they stopped in front of a small shop, it had a rusty 'Shawn's shop' sign at the front.

Getting out of the car, we walked toward the shop.

As we got inside, the cashier greets them right away and bows to them.

He seems rather scared of them, which is a little weird considering this whole town is a crime town.

But I don't know what is their image here.

They all started walking to the other side of the shop to pick their clothes, while Taehyung turned to look at me.

"Y/N go and grab some clothes you need, and...

Whatever other girly stuff you need."

I just nodded in response, feeling a little too embarrassed to talk.

As I walked further into the shop, I saw the girl's clothes section.

I just couldn't stop thinking about taking a shower, I knew it would make me feel better.

Looking at all the clothes, it was a lot for me, I didn't know what to take.

It's still very cold outside, so I should take something that will keep me warm.

I picked up a grey hoodie, by the looks of it seems to reach somewhere around the mid of my thighs, I think that would be comfortable.

Taking a pair of light long blue jeans, I picked up all the rest of the things I needed and went toward the cashier.

Hoseok was already there, getting his clothes in a small plastic bag.

It was only him here now, I guess the rest of them already picked out everything.

As Hoseok finished he signed for me to come toward him.

I walked toward the cashier and handed him everything I've chosen. He just put all of my things in the bag.

His eyes focused on the plastic bag, his hands slightly shaking.

He gave me the bag and bowed to Hoseok again.

Hoseok nodded in response, leading me out of the shop.

The moment we stepped outside, I realized we didn't pay, I looked back toward the shop, wanting to say something.

"Relax, he's doing us a favour."

I just nodded, following him to the car.

Jin and Yoongi were already in the car, the moment we got in, Jin started driving again.

The drive back was silent as well, it started bothering me a little, I know something is wrong.

Once we got back, the same guard from earlier was standing next to the gate.

Getting out of the car, we walked toward the gate, seeing that we arrived the guard opened the gate without a word.

We started walking to the door, I followed closely behind everyone, too scared to be alone here.

The guard next to the main door, opened it.

Getting inside, Max was sitting on the sofa now, smiling the moment he saw all of us coming in.

I don't why but he makes me feel so uneasy, especially after seeing how he acted and how uncomfortable everyone felt.

"I'm glad you're back, I thought you'll run away."

He let out a small chuckle, making my body freeze.

"We'll go take a shower."

"Sure, make yourselves at home."

Getting up the stairs, we all walked in silence.

Reaching the end of the stairs, I stopped not knowing where to go.

"Y/N go in there."

Jin was now leading me to a door at the end of the hall.

Before opening the door I looked behind me to see where they were going.

As if reading my thoughts, Jin looked at me, letting out a sigh as he spoke.

"There are other bathrooms along this hallway, we'll be right here, just get in."

I don't know why, but his words made me feel belonged, it made me feel part of their group.

He probably didn't even notice what he said and didn't pay too much attention to it, but I did.

Nodding, I opened the door and walked in, closing and locking the door behind me. The bathroom looked quite beautiful.

It wasn't small but not too big either.

Putting the bag of clothes on the counter, I finally noticed the big mirror on the wall.

I looked up, surprised to see myself, like this.

I looked tired, my hair was a mess due to all the wind blowing outside.

Not wasting any more time, I took off my clothes, stepping into the shower.

The water was warm and I felt my body relax immediately.

Washing my body with soap, the smell of roses filled the air, I like it.

As I was washing away the soap, I started thinking.

I needed that, to have a small shower that can help me wash away everything that has happened, wash away my thoughts, my feelings, my fears.

Just for a few minutes to feel as if everything is alright, that no one is in danger.

After a few minutes of me being lost in my little world.

A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts.

Feeling my body tense, I waited for the person on the other side to say something.

"Y/N I'm going to wait right here, so hurry up already."

I recognized Yoongi's voice as he spoke, his voice filled with annoyance.

I can't blame him for that, if I think I'm tired, I just can't imagine how tired they all are.

Letting out a sigh I didn't know I was holding, I turned the water off, carefully stepping out of the shower.

It felt so cold and I missed the feeling of the warm water, it made me feel safe.

There was a towel right next to the shower, taking it I wrapped it around my body.

Remembering what Max said earlier,  that all of these bathrooms are for guests.

I'm supposed to find here a toothbrush and a toothpaste.

I looked underneath the cabin, to find a brand new package of toothpaste with a new toothbrush.

After brushing my teeth, I let the towel fall off my body as I started wearing the clothes they bought for me.

It felt good wearing different clothes from the one's I was in.

After putting on all the clothes, I took the brush grabbed from the shop earlier and started brushing my hair.

Once I've finished I looked at the mirror again, I felt better and warmer.

Just as I thought, the hoodie reached until my mid thighs, but it made me feel even warmer and comfortable.

I let a small smile form on my face, something so simple as a warm shower, was something I felt so grateful for.

Putting all of my clothes from earlier in the same bag, I slowly unlocked the bathroom door.

Opening it to find Yoongi standing next to it, leaning his head against the wall impatiently.

"Oh thank god, you sure took your time, we need to go now."

I followed him not saying a word, I didn't know what to say. I noticed he has changed his clothes already.

Just before we reached the first floor, Yoongi turned to me.

"Give me your bag."

Confused, I glanced at the bag of clothes before slowly handing it over to him.

He just grabbed it and continued walking.

We walked toward the living room, walking in, everyone was already there sitting on the big sofa.

I guess they all finished showering, all of them had different clothes now.

And by the looks on their faces, I could see they were impatient.

Did I take that long to take a shower? I don't even know how long I've been in there, but I sure did lose track of time.

My eyes landed on Jungkook, he was now wearing a grey hoodie and black jeans.

I noticed he wears hoodies a lot.

That's when I noticed my hoodie is grey too, my cheeks started heating up a little at the thought of us matching.

I felt my heart skip a bit the moment he noticed my presence and his eyes met mine.

Every time our eyes met, my heart was beating faster and I could feel myself zoning out of reality.

His eyes make me forget about any thought that was running through my head and think about nothing else but him.

Why am I feeling like this?

"She's ready, we can leave."

Yoongi's voice made me realize there are more people in the room and I immediately felt my whole body tense at being the centre of attention.

"Max we're gonna go."

"Are you sure you want to go? Maybe it's not a good idea.

You know, a lot of things can happen."

What does he mean? Why is he being so creepy?

"We're leaving."

Jungkook was now standing up, he looked at Max with nothing but emptiness filling his eyes, his voice was low as he spoke.

Without any other word, Jungkook started walking toward the main door.

The rest of the group got up shortly after him and started walking toward the door as well.

I assume Yoongi was waiting for me to start walking because he stayed right next to me.

I started walking toward the, the guards let us out and we got out of the gate.

once we were outside the gate, they all started looking around, to see if someone was around.

I couldn't understand what was happening, but I also knew I can't ask them anything.

"Something is not right."

"Yeah I agree, he wasn't himself."

Jin's voice was low and quiet, they tried to talk as quietly as possible.

"I can't believe it. He stole the information."

"I think we should go to Evan."

"No we are not going anywhere Jimin, we'll just-"

"Jin, something is wrong with him, we need to fucking go to Evan."

Jimin's voice rises as he spoke, he was clearly upset.

Jin let out a deep sigh.

"Fine, let's go to Evan."

"I'll go to Lucas."

Everyone turned to look at Jungkook, they looked surprised, which makes me very curious as to who Lucas is.

"Jungkook, I don't think that's a good ide-"

"I need it, Hoseok."

Hoseok looked at him, his eyes suddenly soften a bit.

I've never seen this kind of emotion in their eyes before.

"Fine, we'll meet you later then."

Jungkook turned and was ready to leave, but Yoongi's voice stopped him.

"Take
