Chapter 9 - Chapter Six: Small Talk

The girls lend their hands towards you and you reluctantly grabbed them. They slowly and patiently guided you to the bathroom.

Gyuri is still insisting on "helping" her shower but with Raven on your side, you managed to make her listen to the two.

The bathroom was more of a private pool. There was a square tub, big enough to be called a jacuzzi. The shower was as big as a janitor's closet and there were three sinks.

Three. Sinks.

Who in the world would use three sinks at once?

And why stop at three sinks.

You turned on the shower and stripped off your clothes. You set the shower to the middle setting and waited for the shower to adjust.

You sat down at the toilet seat and peeled off the first layer of the bandage. As you reach the last layer of the cast, the wound becomes sourer and sourer until it was exposed to the air.

The wound is still very red, a lot of blood is still oozing out the wound. You slapped your forehead for being so dumb.

Of course, it's still bleeding, you dumbass. You just got it a while ago.

You wrapped it back again in the bandage and pinned it. You stood up and reached towards the shower. You hummed in satisfaction and walked inside the shower.

You kept your bandaged leg out of the shower while you washed your body. Once the water washed off the suds on your hair, you just stood there, drifting off.

You unconsciously scratched your leg when you suddenly flinched when the wound screamed in rage. You sigh in frustration and pounded on the marble wall.

Suddenly you felt sudden warm water falling down your cheeks. You scrunched your eyebrows in confusion as to why the shower suddenly changed it's setting.

When realization finally sat in you as you angrily wiped away the tears. You unconsciously flashbacked to an unwanted memory.

"For the last time, Y/n, don't drop your arms! I've said this a hundred couple of times." The man with an untamed beard swung the wooden pole once more. The girl fell to the floor from the impact. She whimpered as she tried to get up but her legs gave up from the multiple hits received.

The man grumbled out in frustration as he watches the girl try to get up once more. He saw the small gleam from the girl's arm.

It was the small charm bracelet she got from her recent fourth birthday.

The man kneeled in front of her and pulled the bracelet off. The girl yelped and gasped to see the small charms to clink against the stone floor.

She started crying at the gift that Bam Bam gave her. She immediately started to pick up each charm she can get her chubby little hands on before a wooden stick once again slammed down her hand.

She shrieked in pain as she started sobbing louder. She clutched her hand near her chest as more wet, hot tears ran down.

A hand made sudden contact with her cheek, making her head face the side.

Pain now littered her entire body. From her ankles to her legs to her stomach to her hands to her face.

The man held her chin with great force, making her cry harder. The man only glowered at the girl with more force.

"Tears are a sign of weakness. Tears show everyone how worthless and weak you can be. Never, show them to anyone." The man stated, making that statement stick like glue to your mind.

A knock on the door snapped you back into the future. You scolded yourself as you took a breath in to stop the tears completely. You turned the shower off and stretched out of the shower to get the towel then dried yourself.

"Miss Y/n, are you alright in there? We've been waiting for you for one and a half hours," A high pitched voice said loudly. You aren't used to people serving you so you kept quiet and did your best to get in the clothes that they folded at the marble desk.

You looked through the drawers and found a drawer full of hair supplies. You ignored the other materials and grabbed the brush. You forced the recently happened scene at the back of your mind and repeated the words that compelled you to be bitter and frozen.

Tears are a weakness. Never show your weakness. Don't let your walls down.

You opened the door with the brush in your hand to see two women sitting beside the bathroom door.

The two stood up, dusting off their bottoms, and sighed in relief. Raven laughed as she leads you to a chair. Gyuri pushed you down the chair and stood at the side.

"We thought you broke down or something, missus," Gyuri's voice lessened as she smiled softly at the mirror in front of you. You tensed up as you see her standing stiffly, her smile not dropping.

You looked at the other girl, who's now rummaging through the drawers then beamed when she got a hair tie.

"Is...is she alright?" You whispered, slightly concerned at the frozen girl. Raven hummed, completely unfazed by her partner.

"Yeah. She has some severe attacks these few days." She continued to comb your hair. You breathed in as you feel uncomfortable with someone doing your hair.

"What attacks?" Your eyebrows furrowed. Gyuri suddenly breathed in as much air as she can. She turned to you, showing a pursed smile, and grabbed the face powder.

You got goosebumps as she patted your face with the circular foam covered with powder.

"Is it alright if I share my background, missus?" Gyuri asked softly. You raised your eyebrow and whispered a small 'go-ahead'. She let out a shaky breath and told her story.

"I was born with a psychological disorder called Catatonia. It can make you freeze like a statue or get you so hyped up, you do five or eight tasks at once," she paused. You were just listening as she took another breath in and Raven patted her elbow, supporting. Gyuri smiled.

"Unfortunately, I got the statue one." She shrugged, smiled half-heartedly. You raised your hand to comfort her but then you remember that you are nowhere close to being friends with her. Another fact is that you are a human, they are werewolves.

Beings that could maul you up in a snap and with your leg still isn't at the greatest condition, You are still unsure if you can make it out alive. In other words, you're fucked up. You dropped your hand and

"Anyways, I would suddenly freeze at any time so I am greatly sorry for the two previous episodes and those that will come in the future," She stepped away and bowed a straight ninety-degree angle. Your eyes widen but stopped yourself then slowly and hesitantly raised your hand. You softly and awkwardly patted her head.

"It's um alright, I guess." You grumbled out, a pink blush spread lightly over your pale cheeks. You felt very embarrassed by the action of the girl you didn't even know.

She looked up, a smile decorated her face.

"If you don't mind me asking-" Before you were able to ask, the two got in front of you, waving their hand at your face a bit panicked.

"Oh missus, we don't mind," Raven laughed nervously. Gyuri hastily nodded a few times. You looked at the two, forcing your shock and confused emotions back, and gave them two blank blinks.

The two stepped back, laughing nervously while scratching their neck and elbow.

They're scared.

Your eyes narrowed but kept your face relaxed.

"Is something...bothering you?" You whispered, tilting your head to the left. The two looked at each other and burst out dry laughing. You kept calm as you expected them denying their actions.

"Why would you ask that, missus?" Raven asked, failing to hide her trembling fingers. You felt concerned wave through you as you wanted to hold her hand to help her calm down.

You mentally slapped yourself and got back to find out what they are hiding. You stared right at their eyes and they stared right back. You outright gave all the coldness your body has to offer, making Raven drop her gaze and Gyuri whimpered so quietly, you would have missed it.

You blinked as you felt shocked and a bit guilty. You didn't mean to make them a bit disturbed.

"It's just, you are very, very strange." Raven rubbed her arm. Now it's your turn to be confused. You didn't manage to stop your eyes widening and furrow your eyebrows.

"I mean, you are new here and," Gyuri raised a finger.

"We don't know what you are," She announced. You mentally sighed in relief, knowing that they don't know what you are.

So that means the brothers don't know what you are as well.

"Anyway," Raven lend a hand, which you confusedly took and leading you to the wardrobe.

"What does it feel like when, you know," You gestured at Gyuri but she tilted her head in response.

"When the Catatonia 'attacks'," You slowly said. The girl's lips formed a small 'o' and sadly smiled.

"It's like time slows down, and your like drowning with how slow you're breathing, and everything is so tiring all of the sudden. Blinking is so tiring of all a sudden but the thing is you still hear everything. You just can't process it quite fast," She explains, sheepishly while giggling. You were quite interested in her, health status.

Raven looked at her watch, slowly widening her eyes until she looked at you. You tilted your head downwards in slight confusion

"We have ten minutes left," She hurriedly said while looking through the clothes, throwing some to the floor. Gyuri muttered a small 'oh dear' and looked down at a small cabinet. You, on the other hand, are standing still, your leg complaining but you pushed that aside.

"Ten minutes before what exactly?" You asked. Gyuri let shouted an 'aha', holding up a pair of a slip-on. Raven held a t-shirt, overcoat, and large jeans. She rushed to the other side of your room then rummaged through your drawer and finally dragging you to your bed.

"The dinner, missus. Gyuri, get here with the shoes, please." Raven instructed while pulling your jeans down. You jumped back, holding your jeans back. You ignored the sudden pain in your thigh even if it's unbearable.

"Missus, we need to change your bandages or else it might get infected-" Raven pulled you slowly to the bed and pulled your jeans down. You stared back with an uncertain expression. The girl worked fast that only after two minutes, she managed to peel off the old bandages, disinfect the wound with a small amount of betadine, wrapped the new bandages around your thigh, and finally get you in the large jeans.

Take note that she didn't manage to pull your skin that much and didn't let your muscles move much.

"Gyuri, what's taking you so lo- Oh my god," Raven groaned, visibly frustrated. She walked hastily to her partner and peeled Gyuri's finger off the pair of a slip-on. She pulled the girl carefully but swiftly to the bed and sat her down.

She rushed back to you, kneeling and slipping on the footwear then slowly got you up. She grabbed the overcoat and helped you put it on. As she helped you put it on, only did you remembered the daggers that you have placed at the back of your bra.

You forced that at the back of your mind and focused on the panicking girl. She ran back to the drawers and pulled out a belt. She raised your arms then wrapped them around the belt. She made it snuggly and patted your waist after.

"Is it tight enough?" She asked, her hand still on your waist. You nodded and looked into her eyes. You felt quite uncomfortable and cleared your throat. She blinked and stepped back.

"O-oh umm," She cleared her throat and looked away. You can still see her red cheeks through her brown hair. You scratched your elbow with your eyebrow raised.

What was that about?

A knock on the door has heard through the room. Raven faced you again and cleared her throat.

"The missus is ready your highness," She called out while looking at you. You pointed at the girl who is still in her episode and Raven smiled gently and mouthed 'She'll be okay'.

You nodded and the two of you walked to the door when she opened the door, bowing. You looked up and see the youngest looking at his side before looking at you. He is wearing his suit for whatever reason but you didn't ask. His hair is slicked back, parted at the side

You didn't back down from his gaze and held contact. After seconds, he coughed and scratched his nape.

"My room is just down the hallway so I figured to pick you up for dinner," He muttered, a red blush decorating his pale skin.

What is with everyone and blushing?

You nodded and whispered a 'thank you'. You looked back to see Gyuri catching her breath and Raven rubbing her back. You sighed out and followed after the prince.

"Are you comfortable with the two maids?" Jungkook said, casting a side glance at you. You shrugged as you slyly limp.

"They're alright," You gently said. You tripped over a crumple of the carpet and sucked in a breath. You were completely caught off guard but you acted quickly. You ducked and rolled on your back, stopping with your left leg, the bad one, against the floor. You groaned in pain as you didn't really think that through.

"Oh, shit," Jungkook cursed, lifting you like a bride. Your eyes widen with the sudden action.

"Are you alright? Should I get you to the clinic? I am sorry I didn't catch you," He panicked, not letting you stand.

"I'm good, I'm good," You said, the pain subsiding. You cleared your throat with how close your faces are. You could see the small stubbles on his chin and a mole on his chin.

"Are you umm going to let me down now?" You asked. He looked at you and scoff.

"Nope," He simply said and continued to walk.

"But I can walk," You said, eyebrow-raising. He raised his eyebrow.

"I'll let you walk in the dining room," He stated. you sighed through your nose as you feel a feeling you don't want to be feeling.

"Just don't drop me," You muttered, face hidden on his suit. Even if you can't see his face, you know that he is smiling, even grinning.

"Never," He said, continuing to walk.
