Chapter 2

You wake up in the morning, the empty bowl of soup was replaced with a piece of toast and some warm milk.

You tentatively take a bite, judging by their conversation last night, they didn't really want you here.

You look around the room, your coat and scarf were neatly folded and placed on a chair in the corner, you were just wearing your shirt and jeans. You thanked god that they hadn't undressed you any farther. Your cheeks burn at the thought of Taemin, touching you, undressing you…

You push that fantasy out of your head, you weren't pretty enough to even be noticed by any of them.

You glance at the small clock on the corner of the bedside table, '9:30am'. You guessed that they were already up, as you could hear their voices, but the wall muffled most of their conversations.

"I suppose I should go and thank them for taking me in that night…" you whisper to yourself.

And after that, I shall disappear from their lives…

"Good morning, Bunny!" Taemin still had that same smile, it was probably glued to his face.

Jonghyun looked up from his seat at the computer, you could see he wasn't overly pleased, but he didn't look to mean either.

Minho finished shovelling food into mouth before he asked, "Have a good sleep?"

"Uhh, yes, thank you…" you bow slightly, you were not familiar with Korean customs, seeing as you were not from Korea.

You stand awkwardly in the corner of the kitchen/dining room, your face red from having all 5 members of SHINee staring at you.

Thankfully, Key offered you a cup of coffee, "would you like more to eat? Or perhaps a shower?"

"I-I think I'll just be on my way now, thank you for taking me in last night…" you stutter, your face turning an even more brilliant shade of red.

Onew's mouth fell open, "nonsense! Look at you! Your skinnier then Taemin!" Taemin shot his hyung a death glare, but he nodded in agreement.

But just then, Jonghyun piped up, "well, perhaps if you tell us where you live and who your parents are, we can send you home! I'm sure you would feel a lot more comfortable bathing in your own home rather then in ours."

You felt panic rising in your chest, you just couldn't go home, not back to Him, He would make your life a living Hell again!

"I don't have a home, or parents…" that was your best lie for now, you prayed that they would believe it.

Your head fell down to your chest and your caramel hair formed waves around your face. All of a sudden, you feel a warm hand squeezing your shoulder. You look up and find Taemin standing beside you, he had a sad look on his face.

The entire room was quiet, you could hear everyone breathing.

"I'm so sorry," Taemin whispers to you, "but you can stay with us!"

Minho walks over and puts his hand on your other shoulder, "But you will have to do some chores for us!" He winks and smiles, showing all of his perfect white teeth.

"A maid!" Onew shouts, "Your lucky, Taemin, now you won't have to do the dishes every night!"

Everyone seemed to be perfectly fine with letting you stay, even Jonghyun who was smiling and raising his glass in a toast.

"To our new 'sister', Bunny!"

"Bunny!" they all shouted in unison.

Maybe life wouldn't be so bad after all, you thought, as you smiled at your new family…
