[THIRD POV] 

(Y/N)'s life has changed drastically.

She grew up with her mother up until middle school, until she passed away due to an illness. Her father took her in, caring for her, but not in the way where it was love. He saw (Y/N) as just a child from a woman he accidentally gotten pregnant, but she was still his, and she was his only child.

But she ran away from the life; she ran away until she met someone who could take care of her. He gave her an apartment, and all she needed to do was pay him back little by little. It was like that for a while, and then she met Daishou Suguru.

He was infatuated with her appearance, subtly reminding him of his deceased lover, Mika. He decided to bring her into his life, in hopes that she will fill his void.

But that didn't work out too well; Daishou was a man full of lust and possessiveness. He only loved her because he was broken-hearted, and he was in need of someone who could please him. (Y/N) did not know this until she had realize that he had no intention of letting her leave him to attend college.

She ran away, faking her death before departing. Her last complexion was filled with bruises, and after living alone for a long time, she got the courage to come out again.

She hid from her past, hid from her identity, and she went to college. She went to a rather unknown one, a college that didn't need much from her. She passed with flying colors, earning a simple degree.

Then she moved back to the center city, starting yet another new life; she found a nice apartment that wasn't too small nor too big, and she settled there. She found a job at le cafe nuit, and she worked there for about a year.

Until she met the five wealthy men.

The five wealthy men were the wealthiest in the city; they owned everything, and everyone was practically intimidated by him.

The man with the black and white hair was the strongest; he was the fighter. He combatted with his fists and hands, sometimes even using his strong legs to kick. He wasn't afraid of getting a bruise or two, but people know that they won't exactly come out of a fight with a broken bone, they would come out with a whole skeleton needing to be rebuilt.

The man with black and blonde hair was the most mischievous; he was the hacker. He worked behind and outside of the scenes, constantly glued on a screen. Messing with him would be like asking for a death-wish; he wasn't particularly strong, but he did have great precision in shooting. He's one of the most skilled hackers in the country, and once people think they caught him, he would already be at least one hundred steps ahead of them.

The man with blonde hair and glasses was the most cunning; he was the grave-digger. He was balanced with all skills, but his main job was to hide the bodies. It's not wise to get on his bad side because people do know he can hide a body. Finding it was just as likely as finding a pin in a needle stack. The man had knowledge of practically everything, and he has the greatest memory, so lying to him wouldn't be wise.

The man with the black hair covering his right eye was the most bold; he was the scientist. He specialized in the science field, making potions, serums, drugs, and various other medicines that could benefit or kill the user. Making him mad is equivalent to dying, as he would give them the wrong thing, often ending up fatal. He was strictly precise, despite his messy looks, and he just proves that looks should not be judged firsthand. 

And lastly, oh lastly; the man with gunmetal eyes was the most unpredictable; he was the Jack-Of-All-Trades. He was silent, deadly, and always thinking. The man had the money, and therefore he had the power. His best-friend is the strongest Ace by far, and he himself was particularly great at fighting. It was because no one expected him to be much of a man that was his greatest strength.

These five men sought out to find the woman who could change their lives; they went to le cafe nuit and demanded for their best waiter. She was absent, and (Y/N) filled in. 

And that's when all of their troubles began.

After kidnapping and drugging her, they brought her back into their home, welcoming her with warm hugs and kisses. She was confused, devastated that her life had been taken away much more. She had been forced to live with these five men, not knowing their true objective.

But as days went by, she grew close to them, engaging sexual activities with them and giving them much pleasure. 

However, that wasn't the only thing.

She made memories with the five men. And she couldn't deny the fact that most of them were great to have.

Going through a whole dilemma between her and her ex boyfriend, a man who had yearned for her for years, a man who hated her because of how much she ruined for him, and a duo who, in the end, felt remorseful for her, (Y/N) still live. Despite trying to end her life countless times due to her deep sorrows, she got through it, mourning for the deaths of the people who died because of her.

Even though her ex lover, Daishou Suguru, used her as a way to fill the void in his heart, she still missed him. He was a man who took (Y/N) in, despite blackmailing her, and in the end, loved her not for lust, but for her. It was definitely hidden, but she, like many others, would not forgive him for everything. 

Even though her ex lover's ally, Ushijima Wakatoshi, used her as leverage against the five wealthy men and was a liar, she still felt bad for him. He was a man who needed to keep his reputation up as the strongest gang, though he never officially received that title. Ushijima was obsessed with power, so bringing down anyone who threatened that was his main goal. (Y/N) was just caught in the midst of it all.

Even though her one night stand, Sakusa Kiyoomi, ultimately kidnapped her and sent her to her worst nightmare, she knew that he was trying to do his job. He was a man who worked as an underground, and he desired money. He was also deceived; he only agreed to do this because Ushijima told him that he was going to use (Y/N) as collateral against the five wealthy men. He was lied to, as Ushijima planned to first marry her, then he decided to kill her. 

Even though her mysterious savior, Miya Atsumu, used helped Sakusa with Ushijima's request, she knew that he was in the same position as Sakusa. He too did not know that Ushijima was a liar, a person who was willing to do anything to get his rightful position in the gang life. Atsumu, in return, decided to help (Y/N) by killing Tendou Satori, a man who was going to shoot her and the five men. Though his death was sorrowful, the fact that he still listened to Ushijima proved his undying loyalty.

All these men had an impact on (Y/N), and in the end, she never forgave them. She mourned for the deaths of the men who were killed during all of this, hoping that one day, she will release that regret. She never forgave them, but their deaths were not necessary. Their lives were taken due to the choices they made. If only they were not caught up in this stressful gang life, everyone would be allies. Everything would be peaceful.

But of course, stories like that never exist.

Her life had changed immensely after serving those five men, and now she was their...

Well, what was she?

A year passed from all of the drama. They were now all one year older. 

Still living in the mansion, things inside have changed too. 

(Y/N)'s room was fully changed, it was now more comfortable for her and her two cats and their children.

She decided to name the black cat, the female one, Suguru, the name of her ex lover. The cats had three children, all colored with a mix of black and white.

The oldest was named Satori.

The middle one was named Wakatoshi.  

And the last one was named Tsutomu, Tsu for short. 

All three cats have grown up too, the parental cats, Tooru and Suguru, are still very protective though.

During the timeskip, everyone got more mature, more professional. Sex was still on the table, and things did get steamier, but it wasn't like old times. 

(Y/N) changed both physically and mentally. She has been helping each of the guys with their jobs, giving her input, and doing things like labor. She has helped Koutarou with his stretches by being like his watcher, Keiji with his designs and fashion lines by being a model, Tetsurou with his potions and medicines by making some of her own, Kei with his various papers and disorganization by being like his secretary, and Kenma with his infiltrations codes by giving Kenma insight on certain places.

She was beneficial to them, as (Y/N) always had a secret skill or secret intelligence that they weren't aware of previously. (Y/N) had high intel on things like the center city, the interior of buildings, certain people who the men didn't know, how to pick a lock, and other various things that make her seem like a spy.

Not only did (Y/N) change, but so did the men.

Koutarou changed his ways of fighting; after finding out what happened with Goshiki, he decided to only fight people who matched his level or was higher than him in terms of skill. He used to fight people just for his job, but now he has restrictions. He still does not hold back, but he's training his own group of people such as Hinata Shoyo. 

Tetsurou changed his views on life; after talking with Kei, he has took as turn on how he perceived life. He used to be this guy who put up this cool front, to hide his sorrows for the future, in hopes that he will one day just deal with it when it comes. Now he's a man who decides to take care of things now but also taking it easy.

Kenma has changed his ways of hacking; he used to do it for petty reasons (well, he kinda does it still but it's not a lot anymore), but now he is helping the government infiltrate sketchy websites and taking down false information. Kenma used to be a guy who didn't care much about the outcome of things, but now he has changed; he puts some thought into a lot of things.

Keiji didn't change dramatically like the others; but he has been more soft. He is still intimidating, but his soft spot for (Y/N) and the other men has grown. He has increased his amount of hobbies, such as painting and playing piano with (Y/N). For some reason, this man can do anything. 

And last, but not least, Kei has changed physica lly. Not only did he grow a bit taller, but he's been doing muscle training. He sometimes joins in with Hinata and Koutarou, and he's started to lift weights. He's gotten a bit buffer and leaner, and his muscles definitely got more toned. Kei had to learn how to take care of his body more by eating properly and working out.

All five of the men were thoroughly impressed with themselves, to say the least, but they still were proud. 

(Y/N) was even prouder.

Today, the men were preparing something special and important for (Y/N). In the morning, they woke up early to prepare her a breakfast. They took it to her room and they ate with her on the bed. They cooked all of her favorites and even added a small dessert at the end.

When they were done, they allowed (Y/N) to dress up for the day. They had told her that they were going somewhere quite informal, so it didn't matter what she wore. 

She decided to wear her all time favorite outfit, one that she loved to wear during special times like this. 

After showering, fixing her hair and other needs, she was finally ready to leave.

She met up with the other men at the entrance of the mansion, and then they drove off, with (Y/N) riding with Tetsurou and Kenma.

She still wasn't allowed to sit on the front seat though.

Setting out, they drove (Y/N) to an unknown location, one that she has actually never been before. 

Her eyes stared out at the sun that was in the sky, it was bright, but not bright enough to blind her. She remembered when she was let outside of the mansion for the first time in forever and she had never been any happier to see the sunlight hit her skin.

Her lips curved a frown when they passed the center city; she had hoped they would plant a visit there at least, but she guessed that wherever they were going wasn't public.

Hours passed and (Y/N) eventually fell asleep; they still hadn't arrived to the designated destination.

Looking at her sleeping form, Kenma smiled to himself, loving the cute and beautiful (Y/N) napping soundly. 

He turns back to Tetsurou, still grinning to himself.

"You look like a dumbass, smiling so much like that."

"I will not hesitate to smack the shit out of you."

"Please don't."

Even being a scientist that could concoct the most poisonous serum ever.

He still feared the small pudding head. 

Kenma grunted and turned his attention to the window, watching the various dark oak trees pass by.

"You know, today marks the anniversary of Oikawa's death."

"I know," Tetsurou sighed, "But she doesn't know that."

"We said we wouldn't tell her for the sake of her emotions."

"Let's keep it that way."

The two were talking quietly among themselves, hoping that they could have one more conversation before they arrived at the destination.

"I still feel... stressed about all of this," Tetsurou said, "I... I hate that we are doing this to her, but..."

"She will be happy, that is all that matters," Kenma told him, "It is for the best, anyway."

"And we all agreed on this."

As they continued to talk quietly, (Y/N)'s eyes slowly fluttered open. She heard their conversation a little bit, but because she was so sleepy from the car-ride, it was faint.

"It is our choice... to do this to her."

"But... it is her choice to do what she wants with it afterwards."

「❮ 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓮...❯」

(Y/N) woke up to the sound of the car being parked on a hard material. It was so loud, she thought she was in a construction area.

"Stupid piece of shit," Tetsurou swore, "This place has never changed."

"Shut up, you're just bad at driving."

"I'm sorry, are you the one driving?"

"Shut the fuck up-"

Kenma noticed that (Y/N) was awake, and he stopped arguing with Tetsurou.

"Hi (Y/N)." he greeted innocently.

"Hi Kenma-"

"Don't act like you weren't just insulting me!"

"How was your sleep?" Kenma ignored Tetsurou, earning a disapproved look from him.

"It was okay, I don't know why I felt so sleepy." (Y/N) played along with Kenma's small game of torturing Tetsurou.

"Unbelievable."

"Unbelievably funny."

"Shame on you, (Y/N)!"

Kenma and (Y/N) laughed before they got out of the car; Kenma opened the door for her, holding her hand as she stepped out. Tetsurou's vehicle was for someone his height, and since (Y/N) was smaller than Tetsurou, she had a hard time climbing in it.

Which all the guys made fun of her for.

Stepping onto the hard gravel, she takes a look at the surroundings. They were in a small town, unknown to (Y/N) but well known to the men. 

"Where are we?" 

"Let's wait for the other guys to arrive before we ask anything, hm?"

She nodded.

Kenma gave her a side hug, taking in her intoxicating scent.

He didn't know if this would be the last hug he would receive from her.

Or if this would be the last time he could ever take in her scent.

He sighed to himself once the car was fully parked; shortly after, the others pull up beside them. Koutarou parked effortlessly, earning a glare from Tetsurou and a snicker from Kenma.

"Fucking dumbass, Tetsurou."

"Shut the fuck up!"

The other guys were confused, but they nonetheless exited their vehicles. They greeted (Y/N), patting her head before turning to Kenma and Tetsurou.

"You both good?" 

'No.'

"Of course." they lied through their teeth.

In reality, their hearts were breaking piece by piece.

They then turned to (Y/N).

"Are you ready for your big surprise?"

She nods, excited to see what they had in store for her after this long journey.

Though they ended up in a small town, so that was the only sketchy thing.

Opening the doors of the unmarked place, her eyes met with things inside.

Her eyes widened when she realized where she was.

Tears escaped her eyes.

"T-This is..."

「❮ 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓮...❯」

'Maybe she can't pick just one of us to spend the rest of her life with.'

Tetsurou laughed sarcastically.

"As if she would do that."

"I'm serious."

"No the fuck you're not."

"Tetsurou," Kei took his glasses off, rubbing his eyes in irritation, "Listen, Keiji and I have been talking, and-"

"If it's about me and my stupid emotions, then know that I have it all taken care of," Tetsurou took out a bottle of whiskey out of no where, "I drink to forget to be honest."

"Where the fuck did you- okay nevermind," Kei sighed, "We've been meaning to tell the rest of you, but I guess I'll start with you."

"Over the months we have been with (Y/N), there is one thing that we decided we needed to change."

"It wasn't right for us to... continue with it."

"So... when the time comes, we will do it."

"What is this 'it' you're talking about...?"

Kei shook his head, his voice trembling to escape his throat. His words were becoming mixed. his tongue getting lost.

"I-It's..." he stuttered, Tsukishima Kei stuttered, "It's the very same thing that help (Y/N) will decide her future with."

Tetsurou's eyes widened at Kei, knowing all too well on what Kei and Keiji have been secretly planning.

「❮ 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓮...❯」

"Bullshit!" 

Tetsurou threw his stack of books down against the table, earning dirty looks from Keiji, Kenma, and Koutarou.

"What the fuck is wrong with you now?" Kenma asks him.

"It's Keiji and Kei's stupid fucking plan!"

Keiji raised his brow. "So he told you already?"

"Yes!" Tetsurou approached Keiji dangerously, "Now tell me, Keiji, what the fuck was that conversation?"

"It's for the sake of our future. For (Y/N)'s future."

Luckily, Kei had predicted that this would happen, and he went out on a "date" with (Y/N) to keep her from knowing what Tetsurou and the
