The first day was relaxing as I just stayed in my new room. Today I have Kun standing outside my door calling me for breakfast. I mumbled profanities and rolled on my bed which led me to fall off my bed. "Ouch!" I moaned in pain rubbing my butt. Kun just stood there stiffling his giggles. I glared at him and rolled my eyes. "Pick me, will you?" So he did. He grabbed my arms and pulled me up. But he just applied a bit too much of a force and I ended up hitting my face on his chest. "Ouch! Oh god!" I groaned. " Did you get hurt? Let me check your face,"he said and looked at my face by cupping my cheeks. "You are fine. Why are you red?"he asked. "G-go out and let me get ready," I said and pushed him out of the door. 

It was just so embarrassing. I quickly brushed my teeth. I got dressed in a comfy outfit and got out of the room. I went inside the kitchen and had chicken nugget sandwich prepared by Kun. I was enjoying my breakfast but then it got interrupted by Lucas," We will training you from today onwards. Change your clothes and come outside. We will be jogging. I won't hear a no." I frowned and completed eating my breakfast. I got up and changed my clothes to workout clothes. I wore my running shoes and got out. 

Lucas and I started stood outside the house. "We will run till the tenth house from here and come back again,"Lucas said pointing towards the front. I looked at him and raised my eyebrow and exclaimed," What!? Are you crazy? If you want me dead, then you could have just killed me there!" He quickly covered my mouth. "Shut up, you dont want us to get caught. And this is day one so you gotta run. Come on,"he said and started running. I clicked and tongue and started running behind him. He was way ahead of me. 

"What are you a snail? Run fast," he deadpanned. He stood there waiting for me. I reached him finally, it felt like million years. We were just done with three houses. I stopped where he stopped. I was breathless. "Its just ten houses. What the fuck? We do more running in missions. After this we will have to do more exercises. You should get used to this," he nagged. He took a hold of my hand and pulled me along with him on the run. "Wait! I will run by myself. Don' hold my hand-" "No, you will take forever,"he cut me off. I groaned and ran along with him.

We were finally done running. We reached home and I fell on the floor of entrance carching my breath. "Come on, we have to do some workouts,"Lucas said. Isn't he tired already? I might die anytime. "No! I don't want to! Please!" I begged him. "I don't care. We have to do this. Heyadwae!" he chanted. "What is heyadwae?"I asked out of confusion. "Heyadwae is heyadwae. Now come on," he answered.

We entered the veranda since we dont have a room for workout. One extra room was occupied for research and discussion, basically a meeting room." We will start with pushups. We will do 10 pushups since you are a beginner," Lucas said. I scrunched up my face, why the hell am I with him? He's nothing but all about exercise, he's stressing me out. I can't even say no. So I started doing what he said. 

The whole workout session was strenous. After what felt like hell, I went inside my room and I am not kidding my thighs hurt a lot after all the hardwork. I took a fresh bath and dozed off. This cycle of exercising made me habitual of it. I started feeling lighter and happy. But I am still the same lazy Lilah and that can never change. Today, I was going to learn about neo-tech. And it was going to be taught by my least favorite Winwin. He just seems to be cold towards me. He always looks at me with his cold eyes. It seems as if he hates me. And the fact that I am quite intimated by him makes me scared to even sit alone with him in the meeting room. He usually spends more than half of his day in that room along with Kun, Hendery and Xiaojun. Ten is usually outside on some mission so he comes home at night.

I knocked on the meeting room door, waiting to be called in. "Come in," I heard. Its definitely Winwin. I slowly opened the door and came in. I didn't dare to look up. I sat on the chair in front of the table. "I can't start with the lecture if you can't look me in the eye. You have to keep eye-contact, you know," he said dully. I slowly look at him. He had a bored look in his eye. "Ok so I hope you remember the positions of the members. I am the incharge of all the technology shit along with making some weapons. I will now, explain you the basics?" he questioned raising his eyebrow. I nodded quickly. 

He continued,"WayV is actually the part of NCT. It is a multi-national gang. It consists of boys but I guess you are an exception. NCT stands for Neo Culture Technology and are motto is to promote everyone's dream and go against thse who go against us, even if it means killing. We use neo-tech devices to help us. Basically, the word is neo. We live neo and will always stay neo. Also, neo has got our backs. If neo ain't there, we wouldn't be there. I mean everyone in this earth. Wanna hear a plot twist?" he asked me bending his upper body near my face as if telling me secret. "By the way, whatever I am saying should be secret. Nothing should be revealed outside to this world," he warned. 

"Ok, the plot twist?"I asked finally. I am just curious to know about this damn thing he's going to say. "First swear that not even a single thing discussed in this room should be known outside this house,"he blackmailed. "Yes, I promise. I don't want to get my throat slit," I said quickly.

He smirked and said,"So the plot twist is...
