Trapped

Chapter 3

It was the next morning, and you woke up to a bright ray of sunlight hitting your face. You slowly opened your eyes, still tired from the long sleep.

You were confused for second, wondering where you were, but you quickly remembered what had happened the day before.

"Crap" you mumbled to yourself, remembering that you still didn't know what to do about your lost belongings and how you were going to get home.

You took a second to look around the room before hopping out of bed and getting dressed.

The sunlight from the window filled the room, making it look so peaceful and outside you could see the branches of the trees slowly swaying back and forth because of the soft breeze.

You really didn't feel like getting up and facing your problem. Normally you just put them off, waiting for them to go away (which rarely happened) but because you were in somebody else's house, you couldn't.

You gently set your foot on the soft rug and grabbed the plastic bag before walking to the bathroom.

"Great" You pulled a large tshirt and a pair of worn out jeans out of the bag.
"I don't have any deoderant, a hairbrush or make-up, so I guess I'll just look like a slug today"

You hesitantly put on your clothes and tied your hair up in a messy bun using an elastic you still had around your wrist.

You put your old clothes in the plastic bag and put it on your bed, and you folded up your pyjamas and laid them on the chair.

You didn't have any other shoes, so you put your heals from yesterday on.

"Well this certainly is an interesting outfit" you mumbled as you looked at yourself in the mirror.

You sighed as you opened the door and left your room. You walked to the staircase and went down to the kitchen.

You couldn't see anybody there, so you grabbed a glass out of the cupboard and filled it with water from the tap because you were thirsty.

"Hmm, maybe I should make breakfast, as a way of thank them for letting me stay here" you thought to yourself.

You started looking in the fridge and the pantry for any ideas. You saw some eggs, so you decided to make scrambled eggs for everyone.

You started up the stove, praying to god that you weren't going to burn the whole place down. You swiftly put the mix together and poured it in the pan.

"Wow" you said to yourself  "Gordon Ramsay who?"
You couldn't help but be a little proud of your mediocre cooking skills.

You were just about to get the plates to deck the table, but you heard someone behind you.

"I see you've started making breakfast"
You quickly turned your head around, and you saw the guy with silver hair from last night looking at you.

"Oh yeah, I- uhh I thought I should do something to thank you for letting me stay last night..." you said nervously, while looking at the man.

"Smells great, kitten" he smirked at you.

You felt your cheeks turn red and you looked down at your feet.
"Wh- I- thanks" you stuttered. Did he seriously just call me kitten? It was probably just a joke, right? You decided to brush it off and to continue decking the table.

You were busy wandering around the table, placing cutlery and a glasses at every seat, when all of a sudden you felt a hand on your waist from behind.
"I don't think I've introduced myself yet. I'm Jimin" the same man said, leaning over to your ear.

You were just about to push him off of you, but you heard voices talking and the sound of footsteps walking down the stairs to the kitchen.

Jimin quickly let go of you and took a step back. You saw the other 6 men enter the room and walk towards the table.

"Good morning y/n. I see you've already met Jimin" Jin said, greeting you.

"I hope Jimin hasn't been getting to ahead of himself" a man with bright red, almost pink hair chuckled

"Shut it, Jungkook" Jimin clapped back

"It looks great, y/n" Namjoon nodded at the food. "Should we start?"

"Yeah sure!" You replied, excited for them to try it.

When all of you were sitting at the table, Jin decided to spark a conversation.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked.

"Yeah, definetly! Thank you all so much for letting me sleep here." You said, making sure to look at all of them.

"No problem" Jin replied. "Have you been introduced to everyone yet?"

You shook your head.

"I'm Namjoon" the tall one with the brown hair said. "I'm the leader"

"Yoongi"
You looked back across the table and saw a black haired man.

"My name's Taehyung, and this is Jungkook" a man with a blond mullet said, looking at the magenta haired man sitting next to him.

Oh yeah, that was the guy from last night that came to drop the plastic bag off. You suddenly remembered your conversation and it made you shift nervously in your chair.

"I'm Hoseok" 
The man with bright orange hair smiled at you from across the table.
Ahh, he seems nice, you thought to yourself.

"And I'm Jimin" the silver haired guy from just then said to you. "But you already knew that" he said, winking at you.
Is he really going to be this flirty the whole day?

——————————————-

Slowly everybody started leaving the table, leaving just you and Namjoon behind.

"Do you know when you'll be leaving yet?" He asked.

"Nah not yet" you shook your head
"Maybe I can stay with my family but I can't contact them and I wouldn't know how to get there"

You started feeling frustrated at the situtation again, knowing it was going to cost time and lots of money you didn't have.

You had just started living by yourself about 6 months ago, so you were still relatively financialy unstable. You were planning on saving up money to help your family back home out. But this was going to set everything back a few steps

Thinking about it made your eyes start getting watery, and you felt your lip start trembling.

"Are you ok?" Namjoon asked, noticing you struggling to keep control of your emotions.

"Yeah, I'm just an emotional mess right now" slightly laughing at yourself while wiping your eyes.

"If you want..." Namjoon hesitated "...you can stay here for a little while? We could pay you if you helped us our with housekeeping and stuff"

"Really?! Oh my god that would help so much!! Are you sure everyone is ok with that?" You exclaimed, feeling a whole lot of weight lift off your shoulders.

" Hahaha, I'm sure they won't mind" Namjoon chuckled, looking you up and down.

You were so happy, you didn't even notice him looking at you.
"Oh my god thank you!!"
You ran up to him and gave him a quick hug, expressing your gratitude.

"I'll go tell the others while you clean up breakfast" Namjoon stood up and walked towards the staircase with a slight smirk on his face.

You started cleaning up breakfast.
You couldn't believe how lucky you got.
