Your Point of View

I open my eyes lightly, groaning as my head hurts. My hand automatically goes to my forehead. I slowly blink as my eyes start to get used to the light. I start to sit up, looking around me. The first thing I feel is the soft cloth sliding under my hands. I immediately look down, to see what it is. I might still a bit in the fog, but I recognise that I’m sitting on a bed. I look around me, trying to recognise the place I am in. The room is quite bright, light coming from the covered window. Slowly, I slide towards the edge of the bed, sitting there as my feet glide on the floor. I shiver when I feel the coldness of what seems to be parquet. I look down and see that I’m bare footed. I look down at the rest of my body. I notice that I’m wearing a long white nightgown.

What the hell? Did someone change me?

At this thought I bring both of my arms around me, hugging myself. I hear some birds chirping and almost as a reflex, I turn to the window. I try to stand on my feet, losing my balance for a second or two which almost makes me fall back on the bed. I sigh, and start walking towards the window. I pull the curtain to uncover the window. I immediately cover my eyes as the sun hits them.

“Huh...”

I have some trouble getting used to the outside light but after a few moments, I finally manage to look out the window. I see a garden. But a very spacious and large garden. There are flowers everywhere, surrounded by green edges. In the middle of the garden lays a fountain and I squint my eyes.

Is that… a person sitting near the fountain?

My hand is on the curtain as I pull them completely open but I’m startled when I hear a sound behind me.

“Ah! I see you are awake.”

I turn around and freeze when I see a black-haired man. He has a very pale skin, small eyes and plump lips. His eyes are almost as dark as his hair but a gentle smile stretches his lips as he looks at me.

He starts moving again, heading towards the bed and I see him put a tray with food on it.

“It’s a good thing you are awake now. You’ve been out of it for a few days. We were a bit worried.”

I’m still frozen, looking at him while trying to process what’s happening. He’s so pretty for a guy…

He realises that I’m not moving so he comes to me, still with a gentle smile. When he is in front of me, he looks at me from top to toe.

“I see that the gown fits you. You’re beautiful wearing it.”

I blush a bit at his comment and his hands grab mine before sliding up to my arms.

“Yeah, it’s lose and pretty thin. I hope you aren’t cold with only that, are you?”

I slowly shake my head and raise my head to look up at him.

“Who are you?”

“Oh, of course. I forgot to present myself.”

He grabs one of my hand and leans down, pressing his lips to my knuckles. I blush a bit more at his gesture.

“My name is Seokjin. Kim Seokjin. Or you can call me Jin.”

I nod, quickly retreating my hand once he releases it. He smiles, putting his hand in my back and making me walk towards the bed.

“Come on, you must be hungry right now. Let’s get you something nice to eat.”

“Wait...”

He stops before turning to me.

“Yes darling?”

I cringe a bit at the name before looking around me.

“Where am I?”

“You are in our mansion. We found you lying unconscious on the ground and so we decided to take care of you.”

“Wait… your mansion? You found me...”

Then a picture of Jongdae, Chanyeol and Baekhyun popped in my head.

“Where are my friends? Are they gone?”

“What friends are you talking about darling?”

“If we’re really in the same mansion then, they are the ones that entered it with me.”

“Oh, are you talking about these boys that left without you?”

“What? They would never do that...”

“But they did. When you fell, none of them noticed and they kept running to the exit.”

“No, Jongdae must have realised I was behind him. I’m sure he knew I was there.”

“If you are talking about the one that stayed close to you for a moment then I’m sorry, but he really did leave without looking behind him.”

I fall on bed in a sitting position.

No… No, Jongdae isn’t that kind of guy… I’m sure he came back because he saw me…

“Come on, I know you must still be tired but you need to eat and then I’ll show you around the mansion.”

“But… I want to go home after...”

He chuckles a bit, patting the top of my head.

“Oh, but darling, you are home.”

“No. I want to go back with my family. And my friends. I don’t know this place, this isn’t my home.”

“I’m sorry but you can’t be leaving the house.”

“But! Why?!”

I start to panic, wondering into what kind of trap I fell into.

“You will understand when you meet the others when we go see around the house. Okay?”

“But...”

I sigh, seeing that he obviously won’t leave me the choice and nod making his smile widen.

“Okay, then I’ll let you eat, get dressed and I’ll wait for you behind the door. I prepared you a dress near the mirror.”

He points at the mirror on the wall and I look at myself in the mirror.

“Wait, did you change me from my other clothes into this?”

I point at the gown and he nods a bit shyly, blushing slightly.

“But don’t worry, I’m not this type of man.”

I nod, a bit thankful that the man who changed me isn’t a perverted one. He smiles and waves at me before exiting the room, closing the door behind him. I sigh, looking a last time at the room. It looks like the one I went in when Jongdae and the others were with me. My attention sets on the trail on my bed. My stomach growls at the thought of food. I quietly sit on the bed and start eating before looking at the dress that guy prepared me.

It’s a burgundy dress and I look at it a bit more precisely. It looks really nice but I’m usually not the type to wear dresses. I’m soon finished with the food and stand up, going to the mirror. I take the dress in my hand, cringing a bit when I see it’s a lacy dress. I look down to see a pair of ballerina that I have to wear with.

I sigh but quickly put the dress on, not wanting to make the guy outside wait. What’s his name again? Jin? I believe it’s that. Once I have the dress on, I take a quick look at myself and let out a small smile, seeing that the dress doesn’t look as bad as I thought on me. I then take a deep breath before heading to the door.

I knock as I don’t know if the guy is leaning against it. The door quickly opens as Jin comes into my sight. He smiles when he sees me with the dress on.

“I knew you would be beautiful with that dress.”

“Isn’t that what you said about the other one too?”

“Yes… But I am sure that you’re beautiful in everything.”

I chuckle a bit nervously, remembering that until now, Jongdae was the only one complimenting me like that. He reaches out to take my hand and I shake my head a bit, not really knowing him, and not used to him.

He smiles and nods, visibly understanding why I refused. He puts his hand on my back, making me walk forward.

“Where do you want to go first?”

I look around me and notice that indeed the walls looks like the ones of the mansion we went in, but the mood is completely different and everything seems new instead of the old looking corridor from before.

“Hum… I don’t know… Maybe… the living room or the kitchen?”

“Let’s get to the kitchen then.”

He makes me a sign to follow him which I do. I walk in the corridor, not hearing anything at all. We arrive to the staircase and I carefully walk down the steps. I notice that there is no more hole in it and Jin seems to notice it.

“Oh, yes. We had to repair that hole, we couldn’t let anyone trip on it, right?”

I nod slightly, wondering how everything could have changed in such a short time… Like, it’s not like I was out of it for a week…

We soon arrive in the main hall and I notice that the door is right here, slightly opened. I stop, wondering if they will let me get out of the house and this catches Jin’s attention.

“Come here darling, the kitchen is this way.”

I briefly turn to him, and although he has a smile on his face, something in his eyes, tells me that it’s not a good idea to try and escape. It’s like his eyes send me a threat on their own. I lower my head, coming towards him, slowly.

“I’m coming.”

His eyes warm up again as I walk to him. This time he doesn’t ask me and take my hand in his. His grip is gentle and firm at the same time. He makes me walk forward and he soon opens the door leading to the kitchen. He immediately stops before screaming at someone.

“Yah! What are the two of you doing in my kitchen?”

I look on his side to see who is scolding and I see a light brown-haired guy along with a blond guy.

The brown-haired guy is taller than the other one with slightly big eyes. As he smiles, being caught red handed by Jin, I can see he has bunny teeth which makes his smile even cuter.

The blond haired one, is a bit smaller but probably still taller than me. His hand goes in his hair as he scratches his head, a small smile on his lips.

“Sorry Jin-hyung but… we were hungry...”

“Yah! Get out of my kitchen you thieve!”

They scurry away, giggling and don’t notice me as they get out of the kitchen. Jin sighs before turning back to me.

“I’m sorry… The younger ones here can be… quite handful at times.”

“It’s… It’s okay.”

I wanted to add, that I won’t stay here anyway but decided to keep it to myself.

“Anyway, so here is the kitchen. Most of the time I am the one cooking but you will see that I am never against some help. As long as it’s not the three maknaes, a clumsy one or someone that doesn’t listen to me.”

I chuckle a bit, seeing that he seems quite selective in his way of thinking.

“But you don’t seem like any of these types of person so I think I won’t have a problem with you being in here.”

I nod thankful and he walks backwards, closing the door.

“So where do you want to go next?”

I was about to answer that I wanted to see the living room when I heard a melody upstairs. I raise my head as a reflex and Jin seems to understand why as he chuckles.

“How about we go to the music room?”

I nod at his question and he tightens his grip on my hand, following him upstairs. As we head towards the room, the music slowly grows louder, allowing me to listen to it correctly.

It’s a soft and slow melody but in the same time, I can feel what looks like a hint of sadness, despair… Jin slowly puts his hand on the doorknob, quietly opening the door. I peak inside and see a blue haired man, sitting on the bench, playing.

His eyes are closed as his long, slender fingers dance on the keys of the piano. His face seems at peace as the melody slowly starts to fade away. Soon enough the music comes to its end as he talks.

“Jin? Is there something I can do for you?”

Jin enters the room with a smile, pulling me with him.

“Not really, it’s just someone that was curious about the music she was hearing.”

The man turns to us and his eyes immediately set on me.

Jesus… Never did someone’s stare make me so ill-at-ease and in the same time fascinated. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him before he completely turns to us. I don’t realise that he talked until I see his lips moving.

“Hm?”

He chuckles a bit, filling my stomach with butterflies.

“I asked you if you liked the music.”

“Oh… Yes, it’s really nice. I really liked it.”

He smiles at me, standing up to come to us. He pats the top of my head before turning to Jin.

“I see you already went to her by yourself.”

“I just brought her breakfast and then decided to show her the mansion.”

The blue haired one nods, before looking down at me.

“And what’s your name? I’m sure this idiot forgot to ask you.”

Jin wanted to protest but stopped as he remembered that indeed, he forgot to ask.

“I… My name is (Y/n).”

“Alright (Y/n), don’t mind me if I end up calling you kiddo.”

“Why kiddo?”

“Because you are way younger than me.”

“How do you know?”

He has a slightly mysterious smirk as he looks at me.

“Because I know it.”

“He is the oldest among us so...”

I nod, not understanding how someone that looks so young can be the oldest one.

“Yeah, then if you call me kiddo, then I’ll call you grandpa.”

“What?”

He frowns immediately and I hear Jin laughing.

“How dare you-”

“You started it by wanting to treat and call me like a child.”

He stops, visibly looking for something to tell.

“You should respect the ones that are older than you.”

I smirk and look at him straight in the eye.

“I don’t know you, why would I respect you?”

He frowns for a bit before starting to laugh with a wide smile on it.

Why? He was frowning and visibly angry at me a few seconds ago... Why is he now smiling and laughing?

“I like you. You’ve got claws that you aren’t afraid of showing.”

Oh, now I see…

“Well, I’m the only one controlling myself and I won’t accept someone saying bullshit to me or disrespect me. Maybe once I get to know you a bit more, I’ll call by a more respectful name.”

He smiles, putting one of his hand on my shoulder.

“I really like you, you’re fierce and won’t let the others step on you. You’re going to go far.”

What? What does he mean by that?

“Anyway, did you already meet the others?”

“No, you’re the first one she meets.”

“Then we have to bring her to the living room. I believe they decided to stay here until she arrives.”

“Alright, then I guess it’s the best for her to get down and meet them.”

He smiles before turning to me.

“You’ll meet all the others in a few minutes then.”

I nod, still feeling kind of shy and as this time Jin reaches out to take my hand I shyly take his.

“By the way, his real name is Yoongi, so if you want to call him by his name instead of calling him grandpa...”

I chuckle a bit, nodding.

“It will depend on how he calls me.”

Yoongi chuckles, nodding as Jin starts to walk, pulling me with him. We quietly and slowly make our way towards the staircase, then going down. They lead me to the room by which I entered the house last time. I take a deep breath, not knowing what awaits me behind that door.

“You ready?”

I nod at Yoongi as he goes first, opening the door. I hear some boys bickering and somehow playing with each other in the room.

“Guys...”

Yoongi’s voice made the room fall silent.

“She’s up and she’s here.”
