[Win]
Win was doing his best calming the girl down. She was staring at them like they were her worst nightmare. Her eyes were widened while staring at them.
Win moved forward but the girl moved backward. She was scared and very afraid. Win saw it on her face.
"Hey, it's okay..." He said warily. "We're not bad guys." But the girl kept on moving backward until she leaned on the wooden wall.
"DON'T COME NEAR ME!"
"No, we won't…"
He was forced to move backward. Then, pulled Tae's arm, so the Korean guy moved backward too.
"A-Are you W-Win Matewin and Kim Hyung Tae's i-impersonators?" The girl asked. Win raised his right brow and shook his head. "No, I'm Win, the real Win Matewin. And this is Tae." But the girl's face was still in horror. She shook her head, not believing what Win said.
"You've got to be impersonators. I mean, you can't be real! The real Win Matewin and Kim Hyung Tae should not be in front of me right now. They are working and they came from different countries. They shouldn't be here!" She said, not accepting what Win had said.
He was worrying. He doesn't know what to do to make her believe that he is the real Win Matewin.
"Look! We're not impersonators, okay? I'm Win Matewin from Thailand. I'm the actor at 2gether Forever BL Series and this is Tae, from Korea. He's a member of BND. Yeah, the famous Korean boy band group. You know K-pop?" He explained, and thank goodness, she calmed a little. But she was still nervous and afraid.
"You've got to be kidding me." She said.
"Look at our faces," He said and leaned forward. "Too close..." He leaned back a little. "Sorry." He apologized and saw the girl's face turned red. Win smiled.
The girl looked at their faces. She uttered something in a different language that Win didn't understand.
"You look real..." She said as she examine their faces. But, the moment Win heard the door opened, the girl's eyes widened again.
"WHAT THE..."
Now, they have to calm her down again.

[JN]
The girl was panting and she was looking at them with fear in her eyes. While Win was calming her, JN was observing them. He understands that the girl doesn't believe them. The teenager doesn't accept that they're in front of her right now. Meaning, the girl knows them, and she knows the two Thais as well.
It also means these two Thais are famous people too. And these Thais didn't tell that to them.
"Hey, calm down. We're not bad guys." The Thai, Win, spoke to the girl. JN's just standing behind Bright while Win and Tae are in front.
"This can't be true. This can't be true..." The girl frequently says while her hands are on her head. Win explains while she kept on saying those words until the Thai guy lost his patience. "Just--JUST LISTEN TO ME FIRST." Win louder'd his voice, and that made the girl stop. She looked at him with fear on her face. JN can see that she's holding back her tears. She probably got frightened to Win.
Wrong move, Chief, wrong move, JN thought.
"We're not bad guys, okay? We won't hurt you. We don't have plans of hurting you--" Before Win could even continue, JN interrupted. "We are real." Their heads turned to him. Win raised his right eyebrow at him but JN just ignored him.
"We're real. We're really in front of you right now. This is not a dream. This definitely is not a dream. We're standing in front of you right now. Believe us. You're not in a dream. Study our faces, bite your finger and if you feel any pain then, it means you're in reality. And it also means we are really in front of you right now."
The fear on the girl's face disappeared. She swallowed and looked at them, one by one. Then, she squeezed her eyes and reached her hand to Win. When she touched Win's cheek, she flinched. Her eyes opened. "You're real..." She said while looking straight at Win and then, to JN. Win smiled and nodded his head to the girl.
"Now, you have calmed. We'll introduce ourselves to each other," JN said and walked back to his mattress, then sat. Tae sat next to him, and the two Thais sat on their white mattresses as well.
When they were comfortable with their seats, they turned their heads to the girl. She stood up and walked slowly to the center without making any sound. She sat at the center, in between Tae and Bright. When she looked up, they were still staring at her.
"Umh..."
JN broke the silence by introducing himself and Tae because he sensed that the girl can't stand them staring at her. "I'm JN, and this is Tae. We are from the boy band group BND,"
He glanced at the Thais, telling them that it's their turn to introduce themselves.
Win smiled at the girl, "I'm Win, and this is Bright.".
Win has difficulty in speaking the English language, and JN knew that he was trying his best to pronounce the words perfectly.
After, JN turned to the girl, who flinched again. "It's your turn."
She swallowed, "I-I'm (y/n), I-I'm a Filipino."
JN saw Win smiled, which caused JN to raised his right brow. What's with this guy?
"Nice name" JN said. "So, I'll be straight to the point. Are you our kidnapper?" (y/n) gasped. She quickly waved her hands, "N-no. I am not your kidnapper. To be honest, I don't know how I got here and I don't remember how I got here--"
JN interrupted. "Wait. You don't remember how you got here?" He asked her and she slowly nodded. He and Bright looked at each other with their brows raised. "She's not the kidnapper--" Before JN could even finish, (y/n) cut him.
"What? Of course, I'm not the kidnapper! Alam kong patay na patay ako sa inyo pero 'di naman ako ganoon ka sama." She said, and JN was confused. She suddenly shifted to a different language. Now, he's wondering what's the meaning of what she said.
"Okay, you're not our kidnapper. But can you please tell us what you remember before you got here?" He asked her and she began to think. "I'm not so sure but… I was at a coffee shop then--I don't know--someone hit me in the back of my head. But I didn't see who was it because my vision dimmed a-and then, I woke up here... Maybe that's the reason why my head hurts and why I couldn't remember how I got here" She told them. JN snapped his fingers. "The same with Tae,"
"We all woke up feeling weak and dizzy. The kidnapper probably hit our heads or maybe injected something that made us faint, carried us, and detained us here" JN explained. "Based on your height, you can't possibly carry us. So you're not the kidnapper." he added.
"Of course, I'm not the kidnapper!"
"Wait, you came from a different room, right?" Bright suddenly asked her. (y/n) nodded.
"If so, did you see any signs of our kidnapper? We went outside this room, but we did not see any indication." He asked again. She shrugged, "I'm not sure... I didn't see either. " Bright nodded.
"Maybe the kidnapper isn't here. I mean, maybe he's outside of this house." Win guessed.
JN began to think. "Probably," he said. "Then, let's all check"
"But we're still not sure if the kidnapper is all by himself. What if there are three to six kidnappers?" Win implied.
He said, "If there is only one kidnapper, it is advantageous" He frowned. "But, if there are three to six kidnappers, I don't think we can escape."
"I don't think so. If many kidnappers are guarding us, we could have seen any sign of one of them. I mean, if there are three to six kidnappers, surely some of them are watching us, and not all of them will be going outside. Right? We checked the whole house, and we didn't see at least one of them." Bright said.
"Correct, but still, we are not sure," JN insisted.
"Wait, P'Bright, do you think we're alone?" Win suddenly asked Bright. JN and Bright looked at each other with their eyebrows raised.
"Probably." They both answered at the same time.
"Well--um--well then, let's all find out. In suspense movies, there are always three kidnappers left to guard the victims. So I think, if ever, there are only three kidnappers, we have already outnumbered them. Plus, you four are huge people. Also, Bright and Win knows kickboxing. And they are strong and have big muscles--" (y/n) stopped when she realized what she had been saying to the Thais.
JN's brows raised when he saw Win smiled again at (y/n). JN looked at the girl, and now he knows why Win is smiling.
(y/n)'s blushing.
"I'm sorry. I'm just--" she tried to explain.
"It's okay," Win said to her while still smiling.
Breaking the awkward atmosphere, Bright suddenly spoke. "Win and I will be going out to check the kidnappers. We can manage those kidnappers."
"Yeah, you guys wait here until we come back," said Win.
They were about to proceed when JN spoke. "What if there are more than two kidnappers out there. Are you ready to fight them?"
"If we find out there are more out there, then we will immediately inform you guys. However, if they catch us, we will fight back, and if we can't beat them, we'll call for help." Bright responded.
"Okay..."
When they got in front of the door, JN heard them talking, but he didn't understand any of it as they were conversing in Thai language.
Bright held the doorknob "คุณพร้อม, P'Win?"
Win nodded. "ตลอดเวลา,"
And off they went.
