A/N: Hey guys! Above is a picture of Jaehee as she is in the game. In my story, imagine her a little more rebellious looking though, without the lace XD I'm probably gonna make her go Mulan on your asses and chop off all her hair, but I'm still deciding ;) enjoy the chapter! LURV CHU :*

...

Yoosung woke slowly to the sound of voices mingling. He sat up in his bottom bunk (no top bunks were open, but he was fine with that anyways), rubbing his eyes and yawning. 

The other men around him were waking up too, mumbling to each other and pulling shirts on over muscled chests and torsos. Yoosung glanced down at his own pathetically flabby stomach and pouted.

Yoosung had a more appropriate outfit to put on today, instead of bloomers. He quickly pulled on the white, plain t-shirt and grey sweatpants, as well as lacing the black sneakers. Sure, it wasn't coordinated, but everything smelled fresh and it was comfortable. He personally liked it more than the scratchy wool sweater and tight slacks he had to wear in Aithne.

Yoosung began hearing the showers in the connecting room turn on, the water spray hitting the cold, stone floor, but decided against going nude in front of everyone on his second day. Instead, he followed the rest of the men to the main hall for breakfast. 

Upon arriving in the large room, sunlight filtering down through windows in the ceiling, casting warm rays down unto the tables already set with plates and utensils, food out on large plates. From pancakes to eggs to ham, everything was there. The warm, sweet smells of food filled the room, as well as wafting from the neighboring kitchen were the sound of frying meat could be heard. 

The families were already up and eating, as the toddlers and babies seemed to get up first. The other dorms were filing in too, women and girls with their hair in braids or messy buns, talking with each other or reuniting with their guy friends.

Conversations and laughter filled up the room like the sunlight and the smell of food, and Yoosung searched for a place to sit. Just as he was about to sit alone, he heard Jaehee's cheery voice. 

"Yoosung!"

He turned and saw her waving wildly at him. He let out a sigh of relief and hurried over, sitting down between Jaehee and another boy, slightly younger than him, who Yoosung recognized to be his bunkmate, Cylus. 

"Mornin'," Cylus mumbled through the eggs he was shoving into his mouth, pausing to wink at Yoosung happily. 

"How'd you sleep?" Jaehee asked, helping herself to a giant mug of coffee and a pancake, offering Yoosung a basket of muffins. He took one, then nodded thanks.

"Pretty well... Hey, do you think there's any chance that I could go outside today?" He didn't know why he was asking; going outside should be a completely reasonable thing to do. He added on reasoning anyways, "After 21 years of not seeing the sky, I want to take in as much as I can." 

"Yeah, you are pretty pale," Jaehee teased, "But you've gotta go after jobs and training, can't laze around just to play in the snow."

"Yeah, Saeran said that too. And snow?"

"The white stuff on the ground."

"Oh," Yoosung said bluntly, feeling stupid. 

Suddenly, the rebels started banging their fists on the table, laughing and shouting. Yoosung turned to look at the cause of the commotion.

Of course.

There was Saeran, walking lazily down the aisle towards his throne, grinning and sending careless winks to those he passed.

Yoosung had to focus on keeping his jaw closed as his eyes skated down the leader's chest and abs, v-line peeking up from the hem of Saeran's low-set sweatpants. There were a few whistles, and Saeran smirked, boosting himself up onto his throne, biceps flexing as he lifted himself up. 

"Good morning all," he said in a low, smooth voice, mint eyes casting around the room, lingering on none in particular. His bleached hair didn't hide his natural hair color completely, and that annoyed him, but he couldn't use any more of the bleach, as they were running low on that too. 

Saeran nodded to The Cold to motion for them to keep eating, and scanned the room again, picking out Yoosung's blonde hair almost immediately next to Jaehee. The two of them were laughing, bright smiles over their lips. Saeran chuckled to himself, noting to catch up with Yoosung after breakfast.

Alex and Adam, the 7-year-old twins of The Cold, born into the resistance, ran out in front of Saeran's throne, giggling and shoving each other playfully. Saeran winced as old memories of him and Saeyoung playing like that... He erased the expression before anyone could notice, but the thoughts still remained. He'd have to get them out sometime or another; he knew it wasn't healthy to keep them bottled up like this, but what else was he supposed to do? 

The meal lasted for about 15 minutes before people started getting up, clearing their dishes and bringing them up to the kitchen, where the staff began washing and drying at impressive speed, their hands turning pink from the steaming hot water. 

Saeran stood up on his throne while everyone was still in the hall and cupped his hands around his mouth, "Hey guys! Just a quick few announcements!" The room went quiet. "You know the schedule, but we've gotta group heading out later to explore that freaky ice cave later, right after lunch, and I need a few people to help repair snowshoes today, for those who don't have nighttime jobs, alright?"

A few scattered, "Yes, boss,"'s could be heard as the group dispersed down their own separate hallways, depending on their jobs. Yoosung waved to Jaehee as she headed down the hallway towards the training center, where she worked, and to Cylus as he went off to go fishing in the nearby river, only partially covered in ice. 

Yoosung looked to Saeran, who had hopped down from his chair and was now talking with a few women. When he noticed Yoosung standing off to the side, he dismissed the girls and waved Yoosung over.

"Hey, how are you?"

"Good. Nervous."

"Ready for your first day as a Cold member?"

A/N: Ack, I know I promised more action this chapter but I had to split it up between two chapters because it was getting long :) Chapter 8 coming tomorrow!
