10. Are you jealous?
"What a warm and soft feeling. Something smells so nice. Like a dessert. No wait, like an exotic beach... mmm, it's so soft... what is this?"
Rain opened her eyes to find herself in a huge soft bed, hugging a fluffy pillow, covered in the softest silky sheets in the world.
Where am I?
She got out of the bed, still wearing the same clothes from yesterday, only her boots removed. She looked around to the big bedroom.
Two of the four walls were made out of glass, one leading to a balcony that revealed a spectacular view of the currently sunny Seoul.
It's morning.
A knock was heard on the door. That's weird. All this time, these guys never knocked... just... unlocked.
She looked at the right corner of the room, and she saw a camera.
"Come in, you know I am awake already," she said ironically.
The door opened, and RM entered. His face looked worried.
"How are you feeling, Rei? You passed out again last night."
He said, crossing his arms, and she didn't answer, just looked outside the window.
"Rei..." he continued.
"Stop calling me that!"
She was angry. Or in denial. Her mind simply could not comprehend the outrageous things RM said to her yesterday.
How can she respond?
"I need some time to think, ok?... and I'm hungry..."
She almost yelled with a frustrated tone in her voice.
RM laughed at her response.
"There is food in the kitchen," he smiled. "But first, I want to make sure that you won't pass out again... Please tell me the name of the medicine..." his brows furrowed with concern.
"No! Fuck off, RM, I am not depressed anymore. You made sure of that! The confusion overlaps any other emotion right now!
She stood and wore her boots and walked towards the door. A mouthwatering smell was coming through it.
"Aren't you gonna shower first?" he raised his brows and smirked.
"Later. I still don't have clean underwear anyway..."
She smirked back to him as a response, passive-aggressively changing her emotions in seconds, and opened the door while giving him a mild heart attack with her words.
It looked like she was in the same building, but on a different floor.
"Let me guess. 6th floor."
She said to RM, and he nodded. It was clear from the height outside of the windows.
This floor was different, though.
It looked like a loft with a huge living room and a kitchen on the other side. There were two wide corridors left and right from the elevator that led to other rooms.
She walked towards the kitchen where the rest six were having breakfast.
V and Jungkook smiled seeing her, Jin stood to prepare another plate for her, J-hope almost choked with his food and coughed to clear his throat, Jimin scanned her from head to toe and smirked, and Suga continued eating like everything was normal. He didn't even look at her.
They all were all acting weird somehow. And she understood that maybe they feared that what they had till now was going to change because of her. They were not just plain criminals. They were like brothers. Each of them played a specific part in this gang. And this is why her mother chose them.
"Hey," she said awkwardly and sat on an empty stool at the start of the table. Like, what someone says on these occasions?
"I hope you like btl sandwich" Jin smiled and served her the plate.
"Yes, but I would kill for a coffee right now," she smiled back at him, and he turned to the counter to fill her a mug.
"Sugar?" Jin asked with a spoon in his hand.
"No, I hate sugar."
She replied bluntly, and for some reason, the others looked amused at Suga, who was now staring at her unamused with raised eyebrows. She avoided his stare and took the mug to take a sip, and moaned.
"God, I love coffee."
She took a second sip, pretending she didn't know why the others looked at him. But she remembered Jungkook yesterday calling his name. To pay him.
"Were you guys betting on me yesterday?"
Rain said as she took a bite from her sandwich, looking at it. They all froze into position, and Jungkook smiled awkwardly.
"Well, they all bet against you," Jungkook grinned, "except me and RM.
"Really?" she looked at Jimin unamused with an expressionless face. "You bet against me."
"I did," Jimin answered, annoyed.
She had tricked him into leaving her unlocked, and she took his gun to teach him a lesson. "It was an easy test anyway..." He continued eating.
"So let me get this, RM had said to me that we should talk, then sends me out with J-hope to see if I"ll try to escape, then leaves me a note saying to wait... and the test was... what? If I can escape my room, which was poorly locked and even less guarded? If I can take down the guard? If I can find the floor?... Or if I stay?" Rain smirked and narrowed her eyes.
RM sighed and pressed his lips.
"Yes, the test was if you leave us or stay with us," he said, locking his eyes with hers." You have to choose. You didn't answer me yesterday." Still looking at her with anticipation.
"You didn't explain the whole deal." She smiled, stating the obvious, crossing her arms in front of her after licking her fingers clean from the sandwich.
"I stay here, and do what exactly? Aren't you the leader already? Why do you want me around all of a sudden?"
She huffed and stood up, then walked around the counter and stood between Suga and Jimin. She gave an indifferent look at Suga and looked at Jimin and smirked. For some weird reason, he understood what she wanted and smirked back.
He stood from the stool without a word, and they took their coffee mugs with them as they made their way towards the terrace, like they didn't argue just two minutes ago.
The others could see them smoking outside from the window walls. Rain was leaning with her elbows towards the concrete balcony, revealing her slim thighs from the short skirt. Jimin was also leaning towards the concrete balcony next to her.
"She is going to kill us all."
V grinned sarcastically and looked at the ceiling.
"Torture us slowly first... then kill us... one by one..." he continued and closed his eyes.
"I don't mind," Jungkook grinned at him, as he understood what he was talking about.
They were all thinking about it. It was gonna be hard to live with her. She was a walking, talking temptation around them. That conveniently found ways to avail underwear, cursed like a sailor, and every second sentence coming out of her mouth was a sexual innuendo.
RM took his stare from outside the window and landed it on J-hope, who was staring at the table, biting his lip.
"I suppose you know you don't get to be alone with her from now on." He talked firmly.
"Why, what happened?" Jin asked, intrigued.
"Jin, you Oyabun-sit for now," RM sighed. "And I hope you realize she is off limits... can I trust you?" he looked at Jin seriously.
"Of course," Jin smirked. "Don't worry. Nothing is getting out of hand," he reassured him.
"Uhmmm, nothing except Jimin!" V grinned and pointed at the terrace.
Rain was still leaning there, and Jimin next to her, but his face leaned towards hers, getting closer and closer every second.
RM jumped from his stool and ran to open the glass door towards the balcony, while Jimin was brushing a strand of hair behind Rain's ear.
"How many times have you..." Jimin was interrupted by a hand that was gripping his shirt and pulling him back.
"What the fuck!" he yelled at RM, confused.
"I should be asking that" RM glared at him, clenching his jaw. "What the fuck are you doing, Jimin?"
RM was scary as fuck. Rain thought that if she were an opponent, she would feel slightly intimidated.
"Huh?" Jimin looked confused. " What the fuck are you talking about?" he yelled with his hands in the air.
"Let him go." Rain ordered RM.
She understood where this was going.
"You," he pointed at Jimin. "Go inside. We'll talk later." and Jimin left murmuring curse words.
"You are wrong," she said calmly to RM while flicking the cigarette with her fingers to throw it far away.
"He was looking at my gauges." She said and smirked unblinkingly, her hands on her hips.
She moved slowly towards him, keeping her eyes on his, not taking them away for a second.
"But why do you give orders that you cannot obey yourself?"
She lifted her chin and narrowed her glance, not waiting for an answer, knowing he won't reply.
She approached him in a breath's distance and whispered in his ear while smiling,
"...Are you jealous?"
Knowing that the others could see them from inside.
He held her still from her shoulders, his eyes meeting hers, and the only thing in his mind was to kiss the fuck out of that annoying smirk on her face.
But he shouldn't.
She was going to be their boss. Feelings were not allowed in this field.
He never had a problem before.
Why did she have to be so... challenging?
But what if he did?
What if he actually kissed her?
Then looked inside. The others were looking at them.
Jimin looked still angry, and J-hope looked disappointed. And he was. After all, RM removed him from Rain's side cause he sort of has feelings for her.
But before RM could calculate the situation any longer, something unexpected happened.
Rain grabbed his hair and kissed him. Slowly.
She bit his lower lip and made his heart jump from its position.
He stood there stunned, but he could not control his lips that formed a smile behind hers and lightly kissed her back.
And then she pulled back.
RM could feel that his breath got unsteady, but he was trying to hide it.
Then she took another cigarette from the packet that Jimin left behind and lighted it.
RM was still shocked, but he chose to leave and go inside, where the other six were waiting for him.
"Two dead, five left still alive."
V grinned at RM while he entered the room.
J-hope left immediately without a word and called the elevator, his knuckles white on his fists.
Her plan was working.
