"Sin."

Star gave me an impressed smirk, her tongue darting out to lick the side of her mouth.

"Perfect. The name of someone who will completely destroy in Bangtan. Welcome to the family." Star pulled me into an unexpected hug. I jumped lightly, staring wide eyed before grinning and squeezing her back tightly.

I don't know why I was so happy that she liked my name, or why I felt so proud to have been accepted into the gang so easily. I mean, it's a fucking gang for Hell's sake.

But there was something growing in me, tainting my heart and filling my lungs. It had always been there, but it was massing, growing, spreading.

My name was Sin, fit for the life I would be leading, full of danger and illegal activities, and, well, sin.

Giving me one last look, Star released me and began walking again, this way back the way we came.

There was a certain confidence to my step, and the way back seemed much shorter than the way there.

In what felt like no time, we were back at the building, where there were boisterous yelling drifting out of the broken windows.

The yells made my heart jump, and it felt like my blood started to run faster, filling me with an excited energy.

This was my new family. My name was Sin, and I would be perfect for the life they lead, I would be perfect for them.

I would learn from Rap Monster's cool intimidation, I would learn from Mint's rage, I would learn how to sneak up on people like the boy who held me from behind yesterday. I would learn from Star's seductive, chic ease. I would learn, and I would give my own special spark to the group, whatever that would be.

What could I bring? I have a name, but what's in a name if there was nothing behind it?

I would be dangerous? All of them already would be.

I would be collected? My temper was too much for that.

I would be a mastermind? I'm sure they already have plenty of brains.

What could I bring?

I would be ruthless. I would be calm, calculated, manipulative. I would be the one to do whatever was necessary to get the job done.

I would be fearless. I would take risks to get what I wanted. I would maintain a brave face in the eyes of the rivals.

I would be the epitome of all the worst deadly sins, my three favourites.

Wrath. I would be ruthless and brutal in attacks. I would be unforgiving and lethal.

Lust. Seems pretty self explanatory. I would leave the inhibitions, the low self-esteem, the morals behind with the old me.

Pride. I would be arrogant, with well reason. I would be the best, and there would be no reason to act like I didn't know it.

Feeling hot blood pumping through my body, I jumped in the air, hooting, hollering and running to the building.

Reaching the door, I reached out brashly, slamming it open and walking into the room with all the swagger I could muster, sauntering towards the couch where 2 of the unfamiliar boys were playing around.

They looked up from their fighting, staring up at me like they were deciding whether they should be angry at me or impressed.

I had made an entrance, but now what? I hadn't thought that far into this.

Star and Levi caught up to me, and the boys' faces relaxed once Star came up to us.

"Boys, this is Sin," Star said.

I smirked, rolling my head to look at Levi, adding, "and Angel there."

"Sin, this is Jungkook, our little baby, and Jimin, our body roll expert," Star said, darting back and avoiding their protesting punches.

"Yah, what kind of an introduction is that?" One said, standing up and taking my hand in his, giving me a sultry look full of bedroom eyes and perfectly pouted lips.

"I'm Jimin, in charge of looks and charms for this group. I'm the infiltrator. I can sweet talk my way into any facility, out of any trouble, into any jeans-" Jimin was interrupted by a fist colliding with his shoulder, jerking him away from me. Star was snorting, shoving him out of the way.

"Yah, whatever Jiminie, cut the lies, we all know you're a little cinnamon roll," Star smirked, and Jimin blushed and huffed lightly.

"Besides, it's safe to say those jeans are saved for Namjoon," Star spoke in what must have been an attempt at a whisper, but I heard it easily.

"Namjoon?" I asked, feeling my face heat up at what she had suggested, before reminding myself that I was Sin, and I would sooner let lust take over than repress it, so I fought back the blush.

Star ignored me, and I decided to let it go. For now.

"I'm Jungkook," the younger one said, and I stared for a while, waiting for some elaborate, intricate, arrogant introduction, but he stayed quiet and I realized that was all he would say.

He was looking to the side, at the wall, as if he couldn't look me in the eye.

"Our shy little maknae. Er, he's the youngest member," Star explained, ruffling Jungkook's hair while he protested quietly, a light blush coating his little nose.

Star tugged me away, to where there were muffled shouts, and I looked behind me to see Levi - Angel sitting next to Jungkook, speaking quietly to him. I saw him respond, his face moving to look at her, and I stood surprised for a moment before Star pulled me into another room.

I was immediately hit with the smell of smoke and booze, and I stared to see pillow fluff floating everywhere, graffiti covering the walls, glittery paper coating the floors.

"Someone had a party," I mumbled, staring in awe. I had never been to a party before.

"It's always a party," someone yelled, and then an enthusiastic, smiling boy was jumping in front of me and grabbing my arms, dragging me along with him as he danced.

"Yah, be careful with her, we're gonna need her," Star said, pulling me away from the overly - excitable boy.

I laughed lightly, surprised but slightly happy at his welcoming attitude.

"That was J-Hope, he's the one who plans our hits to the smallest detail, along with Rap Monster," Star spoke.

Rap Monster. Finally, a familiar name. Where was he? I searched the room but couldn't spot him.

Star was dragging me over to a huddle of boys around a table, and I caught sight of J-Hope in the corner, looking like he was about to cry.

He looked so different from just a moment ago, like he was in a bad place. When he spotted me, he immediately broke into a wide grin, bringing his hands up to do a cute pose, but I noticed the tear rolling out of his half-closed eye smile.

I couldn't think more on it, because then I was shoved into the boys.

"Yah, I'm tired of talking about you guys. Just introduce yourself, this is Sin," Star said, her voice sounding bored.

"I'm V," one boy said, doing a peace sign, shoving it in my face to show me that it made a V. "Did you hear that, it sounded like police sirens, they're after us..." he spoke softly, looking around desperately.

"He's paranoid, can't blame him though, the cops are always after us," the other boy said, and I noticed that he was the one I had nicknamed Mint. He seemed so different from before, lax and indifferent in comparison to his rage - filled violence yesterday.

"Surely you can't be bored of saying my name, Annie? I always tell you if it's too hard, you could always call me oppa," Mint spoke lightly, his lips pulling into a smile that reached his eyes as he lazily looked up at us from his chair.

"Whatever Yoongi," Star said, rolling her eyes and grinning.

"Annie? Yoongi? Namjoon?" I spoke to myself, my head spinning.

I hear one name, and then they tell me another. Did they all make new names for themselves when they joined? It would make sense.

"That's Suga, the lazy turtle," Star said, and as she laughed, winking at me, she didn't notice Suga's arm reaching out, lacing around her waist and pulling her onto his lap.

She giggled and twisted in his arms, moving her head to give him a surprise kiss on the cheek. They must be some sort of together, because it seemed too cute to be casual.

So then Star was Annie, and Suga was Yoongi? Did only they call each other by their true, birth names? Maybe it was a couple thing.

I considered calling them the name just to see what they said, but obviously Star preferred Star if that's what she told me her name was, and from yesterday it wasn't that much of a stretch to assume that Suga might literally kick my ass if I called him Yoongi.

I turned around, intending to find J-Hope and learn more about the sadness that was evident in his face when no one was looking. Hope was in his name, but from what I had just seen he looked like there wasn't a trace of hope in his body.

"Go to Namjoon," Star said, kicking my butt and sending me teetering towards the wall. I noticed too late that it was a door, slightly cracked open. I hit it roughly, jerking it open with a loud creak.

Falling to the floor, I looked up to see Rap Monster sitting on a bed. He had a picture frame in his hand, and his face was contorted in what looked like sorrow or regret. His eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes glowed, like they were filled with un-shed tears.

He looked up and saw me, immediately standing up and slamming the picture face down so I couldn't see it.

"Ever heard of knocking?" He spoke curtly, rubbing his face in a way that made me wonder if he had been about to cry before I came in.

"Does it look like I came in on purpose?" I said dryly, shoving myself up off the ground and staring at him.

He didn't respond, instead standing up and walking towards me.

I thought he was going to do something to me, but instead he twisted his body right before he slammed into me, and walked past me, out the door.

I stood frozen, and then I felt a heat on my back, and I knew he was standing behind me.

"Sin huh? Nice." He said, his voice low, sending chills down my arms.

He leaned into me, and my heartbeat increased before I saw him grab the knob of the door, pulling it shut and causing me to walk backwards into him to avoid getting hit by the door.

His chest was warm and hard against my back, and I gulped before reminding myself that I was Sin, nothing was supposed to faze me.

I turned around slightly, until my face was mere millimetres away from his chest. I looked up slowly, licking my lips and meeting his eyes.

"Thanks, Namjoon," I whispered, speaking low like him, letting his name roll off my tongue like candy floss, before stepping away and walking back to where Star, Suga and V were sitting.

I felt a smirk rise as I noticed he was still standing by the door, as if he was trying to figure out what had happened.

I was Sin, and I think I was doing a damn good job of living it up so far with these guys.

This was my first day as the new me. The first day of my new life.
