In the dark underworld, Seventeen reigns supreme as a ruthless mafia gang of thirteen members, feared by all. Yuri, an innocent soul, endures a life of abuse at the hands of her foster parents. What twists of fate will unfold when Seventeen and Yuri...
The sight of three empty spots cast a shadow over Yuri's mood. She had hoped everyone would attend, but the absence of the leader and the two Chinese members made her worry they might not come at all. Her eyes swept over the group; some were engaged in quiet conversation, but a subdued atmosphere lingered.
Just as she started to doubt, a familiar voice called out, "are we late?" Everyone turned to see S.Coups arriving, flanked by Jun and The8. Yuri couldn't explain why, but she had always felt a certain discomfort around S.Coups. Despite this, she managed a nod in his direction, trying to keep her feelings from showing.
Jun seemed indifferent, barely glancing around as he took his seat, but The8 offered Yuri a gentle smile, which she gratefully returned. His gesture lightened her spirits slightly.
As they settled in, the attention shifted towards Yuri. She felt a flutter of nerves but pushed through her initial shyness. "Thank you all for coming," she started, her voice gaining strength as she spoke. "It means a lot that you’re here. I hope today gives us a chance to see beyond our usual interactions and understand each other a little better."
Her eyes briefly met those of S.Coups, and she hoped her message of reconciliation would resonate even with him. As the conversations around the table slowly resumed, more relaxed and inclusive, Yuri felt a cautious optimism. Perhaps today could mark a new beginning for all of them.
Yuri gracefully moved around the table, distributing plates filled with a variety of delicious dishes. As she reached Mingyu, Joshua quickly stood up to assist her, prompting a low mutter from Mingyu, "Fucker..."
Despite the underlying tension, they worked together efficiently, placing the food on the table. The delightful array of dishes caught everyone's attention, and curious, appreciative murmurs filled the air.

Breaking the momentary silence, Yuri announced, "Gyu helped me make them." The informal use of Mingyu's nickname from her lips left some members visibly stunned, a mixture of surprise and curiosity etching their faces.
"Who is Gyu?" Hoshi inquired, his tone edging on possessive, eyebrows raised in visible confusion and a hint of challenge.
Mingyu, feeling the weight of the gaze, cleared his throat and responded with a slight nod and a smirk towards everyone, "That's... what she calls me."
