- Hanee (you) pov -

The bright light hurts your eyes. You turned and saw Mrs Kim reading her newspaper.

"Mrs Kim" you called her and sat up straight.

' i fainted again? great. Ugh ' you groaned. You head was hurting like hell.

"Hm? You're awake? Your head hurts doesn't it?" She put the newspaper down. You nod, pressing your head.

"You're having a hangover. You smelled as if you swam in a pool of alcohol" she scolded you.

"I know, i was shocked with myself too. Pushed myself too far" you smiled and she stared at you.

"Why??" you asked her and smiled.

She went closer to you.

"Hanee, let it all out. You're at your limit and i can see that" Mrs kim hold your shoulder.

"women to women, i know and i can see that you're bottling everything up. You have to let it all out or you're gonna burst like a balloon" she said softly.

Just like a tap, she turned the tap opened and you started flowing out. She's right. You're at your limit.

"Im tired. Im tired of everything. I just..wanted to be loved. But life is so tough that i can't handle this anymore. I feel like im a burden. I feel worthless and hopeless"

"Im tired. I just wanna end everything. I don't want to breath and live anymore. Im done. I can't do this anymore. Nothing is working out.I don't want them to suffer because of me. They don't deserve this."

you cried everything out. You were trembling. Mrs Kim pulled you into a hug.

It felt comfy. A feeling you never had before. She pat your head slowly, comforting you, hugging you warmly. Like how a mother should be.

"See? You bottled everything and finally, you exploded" she said, smiling and stroking your head.

"Listen here dear, in life, there are times when things won't go your way. When your life falls apart. You will feel lonely and go astray. You feel like giving up. And that's okay. Its okay to feel that way. Its okay to not be okay. But you have to take a closer look around you right now" She said softly, your heart calmed down.

"There are 7 guys, in this house, who are ready to fight for you. Who are ready to protect you. Why? Cause you're their sister. You are their family. You are a part of them now. So how can you say that you're worthless? How can you say that you're a burden?"

"And im here. I can be a mother to you. I can be your mother. I will protect you like my own daughter. Why? Cause you're a part of me. I treat you like family"

You found comfort in her words.

"So right now, you're not alone. Remember, if anything happens to you, 8 hearts will be broken. There are 8 people who truly loves you for who you are. So, why not use that as a motivation to keep going in life?" she tucked your hair behind your ears.

You were still crying.

"You went this far, dear. Don't give up now" she wiped your tears. You hugged her tighter and stayed in that position for at least 5 minutes. 

"Alright. Come, lets eat something huh?" she smiled and stood up. You stood up and again, your head hurts.

"Slowly" she scolded and you laughed.

"I heard you fought with Heeseung" she said, holding onto you, guiding you to the dining room.

"Oh, yeah" you totally forgot about what happened yesterday.

"I don't exactly know what happen but he really needs some rest. He fainted yesterday too" she said and you look at her.

'he fainted?'  you stopped.

"Is he okay?" you asked her and she chuckled.

"He's fine, he just needs some rest" she stroke your head and proceed to guide you to the dining room. As soon as you enter, 7 pairs of eyes landed on you.

"oh great" you muttered under your breath. 

"Heeseung" Mrs Kim called him in a stern voice. he was holding a document.

"Oh, sorry" he put the document down.

You look down in embarrassment.

'here we go again'

Mrs Kim noticed and sat down beside you. She put her hand on your back. Everyone was eating quietly. You just stared at the soup in front of you.

"Should i leave ENHEPT?" you suddenly asked and everyone look up from their plates. Including Mrs Kim. 

"Hanee what are you talking about" Heeseung put down his spoon.

"Sorry, im not in my right mind" you smiled and covered your face with your arms. 

You suddenly broke down. You tried your best to hide your face but you can't fool the guys.

"Oh dear," Mrs Kim slowly pat your back.

"Im sorry" you repeated the same words to them.

The guys stand up and walked to you. Then proceeded to hug you. Except for Heeseung and Jake who were just froze in their place.

"Noona don't say that. What are you sorry for?" Sunoo hugged you tighter.

"You did nothing wrong. Stop apologising" Jay scolded. 

The group hug lasted for a min. They broke the hug and you ran to Heeseung and Jake. You pulled them both and hugged them.

"im sorry. im a mess. i hurt the both of you the most" you said,crying.

They look at each other and hugged you.

"Bro we both won this time?" Jake asked Heeseung. Heeseung smiled and shrugged.

You pulled from the hug.

"Won? Won what?" you look at them while wiping the tears from your eyes.

"Nothing seagal. Nothing" Jake pat your head.

"Its my fault. Im sorry too, team" heeseung said and bowed.

"well this is awkward" Mrs Kim said, sipping her tea.

You chuckled. Everyone sat down.

"Well, looks like everything is okay. I'll head out first" Mrs Kim said, standing up.

"I'll send you off" you told her and nod.

The guys bowed to her and she left the dining room. You walked beside her.

"Thank you Mrs Kim. For everything. I owe you a lot" you said to her. She hold your face.

"family don't owe each other anything. No more drinking for you. Call me, if anything happens" she scolded you. 

You grinned and nod. You waved as she drove off.

You went back to the dining room and sat down.

"Alright, what should we do that wrench?" Niki asked, looking at you.

"What's her name again?" Jay asked.

"Kim Serin" you said, looking into Heeseung's eyes. He gulped.

"What will you do?" Sunghoon looked at you, smiling.

"Oh just wait. I'll use her as my punching bag, then i'll kill her slowly" you glared at Heeseung.

"She's mine. Touch her and yall are dead" you raised your eyebrows to Heeseung.

"Yes yes go ahead. Don't look at me like that" heeseung said, looking away. You smiled.

"I don't think you're off the hook yet, Hanee" Sunghoon said and the hyung line glared at you.

"What? What did i do now?" you asked with an innocent.

"You sneaked out to go a club??" Sunghoon said and you tense up.

"oh please it wasn't that....bad..?" you blurted out and the guys got angry.

"It was your first time there, who knows what could happen to you?" Jay scolded you.

"Okay first of all, what's so wrong about going there? 2nd of all, Jaehyun and Yuta were there" you said, sipping water.

"They deserve a good scolding" Sunghoon said. You scoffed.

"Nah, don't touch them they did nothing wrong! They protected me!" you raised your voice. Jake and Heeseung scoffed.

"You're not allowed to go there unless its with us" Heeseung said and you glared at him.

"And you aren't allowed to touch your work stuff after work hours. And no meeting other girls, or even let them touch you" you dared him.

"Easy" heeseung smiled.

"you too" you pointed to Jake. He gasped.

"me? Why me??" he whined.

"You guys are mine" you suddenly said without thinking. They look at you.

"....what? all 7 of you are mine, so as a cute little sister, i want the attention to be on me and only me" you smiled.

"Noona are you sure you're older than us?" Jungwon asked.

You stood up and walked to the maknaes.

"Especially you 3. NO OTHER GIRLS ARE ALLOWED TO TOUCH YOU EXCEPT FOR ME, UNDERSTAND?" you grabbed the 3 of them and squeeze them together, hugging them too.

The hyung line chuckled. You paused and look at the hyung line and back to the maknaes.

"Actually, there are guys who wouldn't want other people to touch you 3 cuties" you said the maknaes and smirked to the hyungline.

"Am i right? Especially Jay" you glared at him and he cleared his throat.

You went to Jungwon and hugged him from the back. Still looking at Jay. You poked his cheeks.

"noona...?" Jungwon said and Jay glared you.

"And this one" you went to sunoo and sunghoon started tensing up.

You pinched his cheeks.

"Noona, ouch" he was still smiling even though you pulled his cheeks hard.

"Yah don't hurt him" sunghoon said and got shocked by his own words.

"And this onee" you went to niki. Jake crossed his arm.

"w-what about me" Niki stuttered and you smacked his cheeks.

"omg you abuser" Jake mumbled.

"Yall have your own life line, cutee" you smiled.

"What about Heeseung hyung?" Jungwon asked. 

You look at Heeseung who was crossing his arms, smirking.

"He's just lonely" you said and the guys laugh, except for Heeseung. 

You shrugged at him. He glared at you and then smirked.

"oh, we'll see" Heeseung said and you suddenly shivered.

"You're ours." Heeseung said, locking eyes with you.

But you knew exactly what he meant. His eyes says it all.

You're his and only his.
