Chapter 16

I Want You Back

"What the-" You gasped as you noticed the 2 unknown guys standing at the door.

"Mwoyoe? You're not Sunggyu?" One of the guys said as they furrowed their brows towards you.

"I...uh..." You nervously said as you slowly took a step back not knowing what to say. As you took a step back, the 2 guys slowly walked up to you as they gave you a suspicious look.

"I feel like I recognize you from somewhere." The other guys said as he closely inspect you.

"Not really." You quietly said as you slowly took a step back more. Once you took a step back, you bumped into someone behind you. You looked back right away revealing Sungyeol who began to held on to your hand right away and began to glare towards at the 2 guys right in front of you. "Oppa..." You frowned as you held on to Sungyeol's hand tightly in fear.

Sungyeol noticed your grip but, continued on glaring towards the 2 guys. "What are you guys doing here?" Sungyeol asked in a serious tone that it surprised you at first since you usually hear Sungyeol in his cheery tone. You suddenly felt different about him after that as you noticed there was something up.

"Obviously we're here for Kim, Sunggyu." The guy said as he folded his arms and glared back at Sungyeol, "I didn't expect that you would have a new roommate in the house." The guy walked up to you and lightly your hair making you feel uncomfortable. You took in a deep breath trying to stay calm the best you can. "When did she come in?-"

"She's off limits!" Sunggyu intterupted the moment as he walked out of the hallway and noticed the 2 guys along with you and Sungyeol. "If you're here for business, we can do this later." He began to walk up to them, "We got school to go to, and I rather not discuss our usual business with her around." Sunggyu whispered over to them and looks back at you with a concerned look.

You stared at Sunggyu worriedly as you didn't know what was going on, along with the 2 guys who suspiciously stared at you up and down. "Alright...fine." The guy said, "Let's go." He looks over at the other guy as they both start to walk away. "We'll come back later." The guy stopped for a moment and looked back at Sunggyu, and then suddenly start to make eye contact with you. You felt the sense of someone watching you, and the feeling of someone possibly coming after you now once those 2 guys left.

You let out a sigh as you released your tight grip from Sungyeol's hand. "It's alright." Sungyeol said as he placed both of his hands on your cheeks. "They're not going to hurt you anymore." He suddenly stared deep into your eyes concerned and all you can do was silently give a nod. Sunggyu watched as the both of you guys were having a moment, but at the same time he start to feel bothered by the moment with the 2 guys.

"When did those 2 come in?" Sunggyu interrupted the moment and made eye contact with you. You looked over at Sunggyu and sighed.

"It was my fault. I was waiting for you guys to get ready, but then you guys took forever. So when I opened up the door...they were there waiting." You mentioned.

"Did they say anything?" Sunggyu asked.

"All they asked was you. Then they start to eye me down and start to ask me questions." You said. You start to get an anxious feeling after mentioning about that moment, that something wasn't right for you or something was not going to be right. "After that, Sungyeol came in when I bumped into him."

"It's ok." Sunggyu said as he walks over and your hair. "Even though they might come back later, I promise they are not going to do anything to hurt you." You glanced up at Sunggyu and nodded as you trust what he was doing.

"What was that about though oppa?" You asked Sunggyu curiously.

Sunggyu let out a sigh, "It's just personal business that's a pain to talk about." He muttered. Eventually, the rest of the Infinite members came out.

"I'm finally ready!" Sungjong said as he got into his uniform just in time. "Since hyung took forever!" He glares towards Woohyun.

"My bad." Woohyun chuckled as he walked out of the door with Dongwoo and Hoya.

L was about to walk out as well and looked over at you assuming you were going to tag long. You walked over to L and start to walk out with him towards the door. "You ok? I heard there was something going out in the living room, but I was kind off too busy getting ready since I woke up late." L asked, "Not to mention, you look pale as like you've seen a ghost."

"Let's just say a lot has happened." You muttered as you're hoping not to see those guys again. "I'll probably tell you later, it's just a lot to take in right now."

Sungjong was about to follow from behind but, stopped when he noticed Sungyeol and Sunggyu not going. "Aren't you guys going to go?" Sungjong asked as he curiously looked over the both of them and noticed them feeling really tense.

"Yah, are you seriously going to let those guys back in the house?" Sungyeol asked Sunggyu as he was concerned about you.

"We have no choice Sungyeol." Sunggyu sighed as he ruffled his hair in frustration, "I honestly didn't expect those 2 to come back or actually come early. I was going to meet up with them during lunch to discuss about the business, but they were just impatient."

"I'm confused." Sungjong interrupted, "What's going on?"

Both Sungyeol and Sunggyu glanced over at Sungjong's lost expression. Sunggyu sighed as he looked back over at Sungyeol scowling, "Let's worry about this later." Sunggyu said as he walked out the door leaving both Sungyeol and Sungjong behind. Sungjong watches as Sunggyu leave but, he was still confused on what was going on that he looked over at Sungyeol and can feel the tense aura surrounding him.

"You good hyung?" Sungjong asked, but Sungyeol ignored him and walked out the door as well. Sungjong raised a brow but, sighed as he followed along and locked up the place.

~*~*~*~

Throughout the school day it was finally lunch time, right away as soon as class was finished you got up from your desk and began to look for L right away as you wanted to tell him about what happened today. You searched and searched for L hoping he was nearby, but at the same time trying to avoid Sungyeol and Sunggyu since they knew what was going on in the morning. As you awkwardly holding on to your lunch, you happily noticed L from around the corner that you were going to walk up to him ready to talk about the situation, but instead L was too busy having a conversation with a girl from his class and he seemed to be enjoying himself.

You stood there as you caught yourself in an awkward time, your chest start to tighten up as you didn't know what was going on with you. Were you feeling embarrassed? Ashamed? Just awkward that you almost caught yourself interrupting L having a conversation with a girl? You began to take a glimpse over at the girl who was smiling happily and enjoying her time having her conversation with L. You slowly gave a frown as you noticed how pretty she is, how confident she looks while talking with L. She just seems like L types then there's you that recently just opened up to him about what you have been through and about your traumatic past, that you didn't know what to do...you didn't know how to react til you slowly took a step back and bumped into someone. "Aish! Watch where you're going!" Hoya irritately muttered til he noticed you. "O-Oh, ~~~~-ssi. Sorry about that I didn't see you there."

"It's fine." You mumbled to yourself as you avoided eye contact with Hoya. Hoya tilt his head curiously as he noticed something was off about you. He suddenly looked up and noticed L was having a conversation with a girl and looked back at you and notice you feeling a bit awkward.

"Kaja." Hoya said as he placed his arm around you and start to leave the place where L and the girl were having their conversation. While you were being escorted out by Hoya, L suddenly looked up and noticed you leaving with Hoya. Hoya half-heartedly made eye contact with L as both their eyes met, L didn't expect that you were looking for him since he was caught up having a conversation with a classmate.

"L? Yah! L?" The girl called out to him as she vigorously waved her hand in front of his face. L snapped back as he blinked multiple times and noticed that he was talking to someone. "You ok?" The girl raised a brow at him.

"Y-Yeah, sorry about that." L awkwardly grinned as he continued on having the conversation with the girl.

You and Hoya arrived back at the rooftop, where you would usually have lunch with the other Infinite members but, you noticed that most of them are not there. Usually Sunggyu or Woohyun would be having an argument over the food, or Sungjong would try to be cute and try to feed you making you try new things, or Dongwoo trying to be a showoff, then there's just Sungyeol who just sat by your side keeping you company. Today though, no one was really there and you sighed as you didn't expect this day to be off. Hoya looked over and noticed you sulking and frowning, his expression gloomed the more he stares at your troubled expression. "Gwenchana?" Hoya broke the silence between you and him.

You looked up at Hoya and noticed he was feeling uneasy. "To be honest...not really." You sighed as you walked over to the roll and sat there leaning your back against the wall. You placed your lunch pack on your lap, as you didn't really have the appetite of wanting to eat. Hoya walked over and sat next to you, "What's going on?"

"A lot of things." You said, you didn't know where to start or how to explain things one by one. You stopped for a moment as you try to take a moment to yourself on finding the right words to say. You closed your eyes as you remembered all the events that have been going through your head, and trying to clear them out one by one so it doesn't feel overwhelming for you. You slowly opened your eyes as you felt more relaxed, and less feel like you wanted to break down. "Last night, I opened up to L about my past... I told him a history where every time I tell it, I start to reminsce the terror, the traumatic feeling of what it's like to experience that moment again." You explained, "And this morning...these 2 guys came in. They were looking for Sunggyu oppa, but at the same time they were eyeing me down being suspicious about me. I have got to admit...I feel like I have seen them before, but I vaguely remember where I seen them."

"So you were looking for L so you can tell him about what's going on. Or what's going through your head." Hoya mentioned.

You slowly gave a nod, "He was the first person I opened up to about my past. I stopped talking because of that traumatic event. He wants me to tell you and the others about it, but...I want to do it when I'm ready at least. And today, I was trying to find him so I can talk to him about the 2 guys I saw, and how it was giving me the same traumatic feeling that I had before. ...I just needed someone there for me, because around that time... that's where I met Ms. Gong, and how my life got started."'

Hoya nodded, but at the same time he was shocked to see you going through a lot. "Well, that was you before. Now look at you." Hoya mentioned, "No matter how traumatic the event was. It will always be painful. Eventually though, the pain will numb out."

You stared at Hoya as you didn't expect that coming from him, but also hearing it from him...you feel like it gave you a push to do something. "You're right." You nodded as you thought about it.

Hoya chuckled, "I'm glad you told me what's going on. ~~~~, you gotta remember you have people there for you. Ms. Gong has done so much for you and reminded you that there's people out there to help you out. And every single day, you know she's watching over you hoping you will be succeeding in life and doing what's best for you. Along with your parents, you have me, L, Sungyeol, Sunggyu, heck you have the whole Infinite group." You smiled widely as you got the point and lightly punched Hoya on the arm.

"Araso..." You said, "Thank you." You leaned your head on Hoya's shoulder, and Hoya gave off a smile as he let you rest on his shoulder. The door opened revealing Sungyeol and Dongwoo arriving at the rooftop with food. "Sorry we were late." Dongwoo barged in as he noticed Hoya and you waiting by the door.

"Where were you guys?" Hoya furrowed his brows towards Sungyeol and Dongwoo.

"I forgot to get my lunch back home, so I asked Sungyeol to come with me to the convenience store to buy my lunch for the day." Dongwoo mentioned as he showed off the bag to you and Hoya. You rolled your eyes, and start to make eye contact with Sungyeol. You start remembering what happened this morning and how distressed Sungyeol looked when he noticed how frightened you look when you noticed the 2 guys eyeing you up and down and asking you questions. "O-omo! I forgot to mention! Sungyeol brought you some ice cream!" Dongwoo said as he noticed the small ice cream container in the bag. He took it out and hand it to you.

You held on to the cold ice cream in your hand and looked over at Sungyeol confused, "You got me ice cream?" You wrinkled your brows towards him.

Sungyeol nodded, "I figure you might need it after what happened." He patted your head as he pulled you in for a hug and your hair, "I'm just glad you're ok." You sighed as you wrapped your arms around Sungyeol as you're glad to have someone like him in your life watching over you.

~*~*~*~

Back at home, Sunggyu was back at the place. He heard banging at the door that he casually walked over and opened it revealing the same 2 guys from this morning. "I'm surprised you guys came here on time." Sunggyu said as he folded his arms towards them.

"You didn't tell me you have a new roommate in the house." The guy said as he roughly bumped shoulders with Sunggyu and entered the house. "Who is she?"

"None of your business." Sunggyu said, "She's mostly Sungyeol's priority to take care of."

"Ah...I see so she's not your's." The guy snickered, "An innocent girl she is. Her face is sweet and pure, along with her body, overall she looks like she has a lot of potential. She doesn't look like much of a talker though."

"Whatever you're going to do the girl, she's not your's to keep. It's not going to happen." Sunggyu interrupted as he rolled his eyes as he walked over to the couch and casually sat down waiting to hear what they are really here for.

"Honestly, she looks familiar." The guy start to mentioned, "She looks like someone my dad killed off years ago."

Sunggyu rolled his eyes as he didn't want to hear it, "Like I said, let's stop talking about the girl. What are you really here for?"

"Ah right, you owe us." The guy said as he slammed his hand on the table, "We're here for our money."

"I don't own you nothing." Sunggyu said, "I have already risked myself and the other members on doing your 'deliveries' that no one knows about."

"But did we even recieve those money that you guys did?" The guy asked.

"Yes." Sunggyu said as he remembered the dealers would give the money to them, "You should have received the money by now. If you didn't you can go talk to them about it instead of coming here complaining to me about it."

"The girl..." The guy mentioned catching Sunggyu's attention right away. "It's not our job figuring out what happened to the money. You guys did the deliveries so you need to ask them what's going on. If not, your girl seems interesting to work for. I'm sure someone like her will make a lot of money. More money than with the deliveries that we have." He snickered.

Sunggyu glared towards the guy and noticed his side guy was snickering as well. He gave a disgusted look towards them as he got up from the couch and pushed them out of the house. "You need to leave." Sunggyu said as he kicked them out of the house.

"The clock is ticking Kim, Sunggyu." The guy said.

"You can figure this money problem out on your own. We have already done our jobs, stop trying to make us do more." Sunggyu said as he slammed the door on them. He sighed as he leaned his back towards the door and tilt his head up staring at the ceiling. I can't let the same thing happen again... Sunggyu thought to himself as he punched the door from behind out of anger and angrily walked over to his room in frustration.

~*~*~*~

It was the end of the day, and you walked out of class revealing L waiting for you outside your classroom. "Hey..." L awkwardly spoke as he can tell you're mad at him. You looked up at L and already felt annoyed right away that you didn't want to deal with them. You rolled your eyes as you ignored him and walked past him heading out towards the door meeting up with the others. "~~~~ wait." L said as he tries to catch up with you and right away grabbed you by the wrist trying to stop you for a moment from walking out the door. "Can you at least let me explained."

"I was looking for you most of the time at lunch." You said as you snatched your wrist back, "Plus you were enjoying your conversation with a girl. I didn't want to interrupted that moment." You turned back and continued walking on.

"~~~~," L said as continues to keep up with your walking pace, "Can we at least talk about this? I'm sorry! I know I got caught up with her getting into a great conversation, but you could have said something it's fine."

You sighed as you rolled your eyes, "I just don't want to be the main source as enemy to all girls." You muttered to yourself as you continued on walking on and noticed the others waiting for you. You caught up with the rest of the members and start to walk home with them and leave L behind for a bit as he sighed worriedly thinking he messed up, but in the end he didn't. You made the choice of not interrupting the conversation. You were just doing something that you didn't want to stress yourself out with.

As you guys arrived home, you noticed Sunggyu was already home as he sitting on the couch watching some TV. "Hyung, were you home the whole time?" Sungjong blinked as he noticed Sunggyu chilling on the couch.

"I went home during lunch to deal with those 2 guys I encountered this morning." Sunggyu sighed as he ruffled his hair. You looked over at Sunggyu and noticed how stressed out he looks, like something was wrong right away. You were curious and wanted to know what they were talking about while everyone was at school, but you decided to do that some other time.

"How was it?" Sungyeol asked as he looked over at Sunggyu.

"Well, they should be gone for now." Sunggyu sighed, "We do got some business to take care of though."

"Business?" You barged in on the conversation and the other members of Infinite looked over at you concerned.

"~~~~, I don't think now would be a good time." Sungjong frowned, "Maybe you should go to your room. While the hyungs continue their discussion."

"Sungjong is right ~~~~." Sunggyu nodded in agreement.

"Ani, what if I want to stay though?" You frowned as you folded your arms towards them. "I understand those guys can seem scary looking to me, but I want to know the talk you had with them oppa." You looked over at Sunggyu giving a pout as you were willing to stay and listen. Sunggyu let out a sigh as he got up from the couch and walked up to you. He gently place both of his hands both sides of your shoulders and took a moment to stare into your eyes. You looked up into his eyes with determination and confidence that you wanted to stay, you made the choice of staying and you want to know what Infinite has been up to, or really what they have really been up to.

"Is it even a good idea to talk about it hyung?" Dongwoo asked as he looked over at Sunggyu noticing something was off.

"She can stay..." Sunggyu said as he walked away and went back to his seat. He slouched back on the couch as he ruffled his hair not knowing what to do in this situation, "I'm just worried honestly."

"What did the guys said exactly? Honestly, I hate dealing with them." Sungjong pouted. "~~~~-ssi if only you would understand how scary these people can be."

"Apparently all the deliveries we have been making for them, they never paid them the money. The reason that they came back is because they want us to go back to the people we delivered to and ask about where the money is." Sunggyu explained.

"It doesn't sound that bad of a job though." Hoya folded his arms as he gave a shrug.

"I told them it was their business to handle. Our job was to do the deliveries and that was it. We're not going to become that one group that just threatened these people forcing them to give us the money. They can handle that themselves!" Sunggyu said, "Not to mention...since they noticed ~~~~ living with us now, they want to get a hold of her as well."

"M-Mwo?!" You blinked as you didn't expect that coming. You noticed all eyes were on you as they looked at you worried.

"What the hell do they want with her?" Woohyun asked as he didn't like the idea that they had in mind.

"Obviously use her for money. ...They threatened me on wanting to take her away." Sunggyu said, "I told them that she's not my responsibility but, Sungyeol since he was the one who took her in the first place."

"Oppa..." You frowned, "What's going to happen now?"

Sunggyu sighed as he already came up with something, "Since they assume that you are here, I already got a place set up for you. You're going to be moving once again."

"Wait, she's not going to live with us anymore?" L blinked as he couldn't believe it.

"But, she should stay!" Sungjong said, "I enjoy having her as my roommate!"

"It's fine guys." You said as you noticed all of them making eye contact with you once again, "I think it's best. Sunggyu oppa cares about my safety. I'll go to the place."

"Hyung, are you sure she's going to be safe there?" Sungyeol asked as he looked over at Sunggyu as he doesn't like the idea.

"We can all take turns on living with her." Sunggyu said, "Unless she's ok with living on her own."

"I mean it's-" You were about to speak, but suddenly got interrupted by Sungyeol sounding furious.

"Ani! If she's moving, I'm moving too." Sungyeol said, "I'll live with her...for her safety."

You looked over at Sungyeol as you noticed how much Sungyeol wanted to be by your side and care about you. You frowned as you looked over at the other members who were upset about the news about you moving away. You pull all of them in for a group hug, "It's alright... I'll come visit sometimes. And you guys can still see me around school." You said as you understand where this decision is going.

"We'll walk you to school everyday, and on the way back too." Woohyun said as he wrapped his arms around you since he was the closest.

"Hyung, take care of her ok." L said as he looked over at Sungyeol.

"Hey, she trust me the most. So it's fine! I got this!" Sungyeol grinned.

And at that moment, you knew all the memories of living under the same roof as Infinite...it's something you cherish every single day. And in this moment, is the last thing you will ever remember about sharing a moment with all of them like this.
