Kara was starting to get better as the days passed, since Jin had created an anti-poison.

I spent a lot of time with Hyunjin, and one day when I was laying with him in his bed he pulled open his laptop, opening the security footage outside Kara's window.

"Y/N, what do you remember about the person who attacked you at the school that day?" He asked.
I shrugged.
"Dunno. The dude was like 5'7, messy hair, smelt like B.O. Oh, and he had a big ass tattoo on the back of his ankle. Why?"

Hyunjin whistled as he zoomed into the footage.
"A tattoo like this? You reckon they've got one man in custody. Did he look like this guy?"
"No, he didn't. No idea if he had the tattoo either."
Hyunjin sighed.
"Well we want to find that out. You're aware of the whole gang situation. If this is a certain gang, the tattoo might symbolise who they work for." Hyunjin explained.

I nodded. "I know. I'll find that out."

Hyunjin didn't know that I knew they were a mafia group. It hadn't been brought up yet, so I didn't want to drop the bombshell on them either.
Saying how much time I was spending here, I was worried it would backfire on me horribly, so I stayed quiet.

When I went back that night, Kara was finally sitting up.
Beomgyu was chatting happily to her.
"So Mr Lee has assigned us like two assignments within a week. The dudes crazy." He whined.
Kara chuckled. "That's the science professor for you. He's a nice guy though."
"That's because you bribe him into giving you A's!" Beomgyu exclaimed.
Kara shushed him. "No one needs to know that about me! I'm a natural genius, thank you very much."

I knocked on the door, causing the two to fall silent.
"Ah Y/N!" Kara grinned. "How's your boyfriend?"
I rolled my eyes.
"We're fine, thank you."

Beomgyu quickly said goodbye, leaving the room with just me and Kara.

"Close the door." Kara whispered, as I nodded, pulling it closed.
I went and sat beside her.
"Well it's been a difficult week and a half. Or two weeks. I actually don't know."
"How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Honestly my head is still pounding, but it's okay." She sighed. "And I'm a little achy, but it's nothing compared to what it was. How are you, now that they know you know..."
"Fine. They honestly haven't acted any different. Jungkook is still helping me train- oh and Hyunjin is started teaching me hand to hand combat. Taehyun tried to help me use a gun. That guy is scary." I fake shuddered.

"Ah, well it's good you're learning something. I'll help you when I'm off of bed rest. Jimin is giving me two days before he's going to scold me, along with the rest of the group, for exposing them. But hey, they weren't very slick about it." She chuckled lightly.
"Do you think they'll hurt you?" I asked.
Kara shook her head. "No. You see, getting skilled girls like me and Gabs in the mafia is rare. Mostly they focus on the non-violent side of things. I don't. Gabs is half and half. So no, they won't hurt me. Have you heard any leads about the guy?"

I shook my head. "No, but Hyunjin thinks it's the same guy who attacked me the other day- or they're working together. I say the latter."
Kara hummed.
"Have you been staying with Hyunjin?"

I gritted my teeth. "Not overnight. Why do you want me to stay with him so badly?"
"I trust Hyunjin more than everyone in this house. Hyunjin probably doesn't feel the same way about me, but that is expected. And it is perfectly fine by me." Kara explained briefly, avoiding my eyes.

As if on cue, Namjoon wandered inside.
I could tell there were other people out in the hall, but they weren't coming in for the moment.

"Hi Y/N, Kara." He said simply.
He then turned to me. "Jungkook wants you downstairs. Something about going shopping? Protective gear- he needs your size."
"He could just ask." I commented.
Namjoon shook his head. "He wants you to pick it out. I think he just wants to spend time with you."

I glanced at Kara and she nodded, so with a reluctant sigh I stood up and left the room.

Jimin was hovering out there, sending me a small smile before stepping inside the room.
I walked down the stairs, to where Jungkook stood by the door with Taehyung and Jiwoo.
He grabbed my hands in his.

"So, I know Namjoon told you I wanted to go shopping for protective gear, but Jiwoo was leaving at the same time with Taehyung and she caught me and now she wants to go on this big double date but I've told her we're not dating but she's not listening so-"
I cut Jungkook off.
"It's fine, really. Let's go then, you disrupted me so let's go."

He led me out the door as we all filed into Taehyung's car.

Jiwoo turned to me from the passenger seat.
"So.. who's a better kisser? Jungkook or Hyunjin? You did kiss Jungkook a while back."

I felt my face flush as I looked away.
Jungkook just side-eyed me.

"I'm not answering that."

"Why's that? Is it because Jungkook is better?" Jiwoo mused.

"I was drunk and don't remember a thing. Also, Hyunjin and I aren't even dating yet so I don't get why you're asking me this?" I pressed.
She shrugged. "It's the first successful partner you've had."

"Like I said, we're not dating."
With that I turned away, ignoring the rest of the conversation.

Kara said they weren't going to hurt her. But I didn't believe it.
I never got to see the man who poisoned Kara after they dragged him away.
What if he was working with BTS to shut Kara up?

They clearly had a problem with her

Also, if they planned on doing something to her now, it would make sense.

Why else would they send both me and Jiwoo out of the house at once, together?

The cards all matched up.

"Where are the others?" Kara mused, glancing behind Jimin.
"They're coming." Namjoon said, sitting beside her bed.
The other three came walking in, all standing around.
Kara rolled her eyes. "I'm not exactly amused. Is there a reason five of the seven of you are here?"
"It's so you behave." Yoongi responded curtly.

"I'm not going to start throwing punches, believe me." She said, holding her hands out in front of her.
Namjoon smiled. "We know. But we want to know exactly what you've been telling Y/N about us. About the mafia."

Kara scoffed. "It's none of your concern."
Jin coughed. "Actually, it is our concern. People are hearing rumours that you told her, and you trust her and she trusts you. You've just made yourself a target as well, dear. People are going to use you to get to Y/N, and vice versa, so you need to talk."

"I'm not really getting anything out of it, am I?" Kara scoffed.
"Well, you don't really have a choice." Hoseok said, nodding to Jimin.
He sighed, grabbing the girls hand.

"Kara, we will bring you the file about your parents. And anything related. The whole Y/N case file we have too, but please, just cooperate."
His eyes were glistening as he spoke.
Kara yanked her hand away. "Jimin, are you bribing me?"

"He's making you a deal I was going to make." Namjoon said, standing up with a sigh.
"Just so you know, we can easily put you back on that medication, and Y/N would never know. You're not our teammate just yet, so try fool us all you want but it is not working."

As they started leaving, Jimin glanced at her.

"Is it real?" She asked.
"Is what?"

"You. Are you being real to me, or are you manipulating me like everyone else?" She asked again.
Jimin wandered over, placing a kiss on her hand.
"Kara, I don't think I've been this real towards my feelings for anyone in awhile."

Kara swung her legs over the edge of the bed, standing up shakily.

"I'll talk, and you can listen. But let's move it out of this dreary room- I've had enough of these four walls."

Okay, the night was actually quite enjoyable.
Jiwoo and Taehyung were heavy drinkers, and they got drunk quite quickly.
Whilst Jungkook and I were still relatively sober.

I was getting pretty close after the fourth round of shots against Jungkook, feeling my head go slightly fuzzy.
I knew my cheeks were probably rosy, my face feeling hot and flushed.

Jiwoo and Taehyung were making out in the corner of our booth, as I gripped onto Jungkook.

"Why doesn't someone kiss me like that. It's so full of passion." I frowned.
Jungkook glanced down at me, before he let out a low grumble that vibrated through his chest.
"I could."

"But isn't Hyunjin dating me? Like isn't that cheating?" I drawled on.
"It's only cheating if he finds out." He chuckled, lifting my chin up with his finger as he placed a gentle peck on my lips.

"Hey. Hands off." A voice rang out.
I turned my head, to see Hyunjin standing against the wall, opposite the booth of the bar.

"Hyun..." I started, but his stare silenced me.
He was staring daggers into Jungkook.

earlier...
"So, what are we doing about our mystery men, hm?" Hyunjin asked, leaning over the back of the couch.

"Great question. We can't do anything until Y/N confirms our suspicions. That, and Changbin and Lee Know are looking into the tattoo. Saying the quality isn't that great, it's difficult." Bang Chan sighed.

Felix glanced over at his leader. "Well, we could always go to BTS for help."
Bang Chan shook his head.

"They'll think Kara set us up to it. They're already skeptical of her. The fact that they apparently drugged her up so bad she couldn't speak nor move says something." He explained.

Seungmin's phone buzzed as he looked down.

"It's Kara." He mumbled, catching everyone's attention.

"Go to the local bar, or track them. Watch Y/N and Jiwoo. BTS are up to something, saying they're growling at me and sending them both away."
- From Kara, 08:32pm

Seungmin read out, as Hyunjin clamped his jaw.
"Well, let's track Y/N to be safe. Then, I'm going to find my girlfriend."

"Have you actually officially become girlfriend boyfriend?" Jeongin asked.
Hyunjin rolled his eyes. "Yes and no. But I'm going to protect Y/N, because we don't want her to be drawn to their side. Because as soon as Kara comes back, we want Y/N to follow, remember?"

"They already have Jiwoo, so our cards are already against us." Lee Know scoffed.

"Well, Kara is on the inside. So we could always get her to, well, break it up." Changbin smiled slightly.

"That's true. Okay, Hyunjin, bring two members with you, track her and go. Changbin, try pull up audio for Kara's phone, and Felix, organise a meeting with Seventeen. I'm going to send a spy to BTS." Bang Chan said, standing up.

The others all nodded, as they got to work.

Hyunjin, Jeongin, and Lee Know left the house, after tracking down Y/N's location.

Then they were there.

Kara had typed those words hastily in her lap, as she sat in a blanket, on the couch, watching a movie with the five remaining members of BTS.

She had told them everything, and in turn they watched a movie with her.
Since she had asked them if she could spend one normal night with them, as if they had been friends.

"A movie night? So no files or anything?" Namjoon asked.
"Mhm. Just a plain old movie night. I wanna feel like a normal person sometimes you know, without all this crazy lies and backstabbing shit." Kara chuckled.

"Well, can I choose the movie?" Yoongi asked.
"Absolutely not!" Jin cried. "You'll choose the most horrific horror movie ever!"

Yoongi shrugged with a small smile. "Horror brings people together."
"He's not wrong." Hoseok chuckled.
"I think," Jimin started, squishing next to me on the couch, blanket in hand, "we should let Kara choose."

"I like the horror idea. I've never seen you boys scream before. Choose your worst, Yoongi." Kara grinned.
"I like you." Yoongi said simply, as he flicked through the different streaming platforms, before he landed on a horror movie he deemed 'one of the worst', and put it on.

Kara found entertainment in their screams of fear.
The blood was just cornstarch, and the wounds were all fake.
But she supposed, deep down, they were all just normal people underneath.

Kara was enjoying it all whilst it lasted.

That was all because she sensed things were going to go one of two ways.
One, she would betray BTS and go back to her own group, and they would hate her,
Or two, she would betray Stray Kids for BTS, whether it be due to information or a change of heart.

She hoped that it would be the first option.
Kara turned to Jimin, who had his arm wrapped around her shoulders.
She placed a head on his shoulder, as he looked down in surprise.

Kara was crying.

Jungkook just scoffed.
"Now how can I help you, red head?" Jungkook chuckled.
Lee Know and Jeongin stood behind Hyunjin, as if squaring up for a fight.

"Get your paws off of Y/N. She's drunk and you're using her to your advantage, so back. Off." Hyunjin scowled, leaning forward and pulling me from his grip.
Jungkook grabbed for me, but Lee Know pushed him back.

Taehyung stopped his kissing to frown at him.

"The hell are you touching Kookie for? Do you want to fight?" Taehyung slurred.

"Not today, Taehyung." Jeongin interjected, as he pushed Lee Know away, he looked pissed.

"Hyung, lay off." Jeongin whispered.
"The bastard kissed her whilst she was drunk." Lee Know hissed.
"You can punch him another day. Today is not that day." Jeongin said, as Lee Know finally relaxed.

The two turned to Hyunjin, who was holding me in his arms.
I was kind of out of it at that moment.

"Your hair is so bright." I grumbled.
Hyunjin leaned forward.
"It's just hair dye, it'll be gone soon and it won't be 'too bright'. But anyway, you're coming with me. You're drunk." Hyunjin said softly.
I nodded, as he helped me walk.

I honestly didn't know where I was going, as I stumbled along.

Jungkook just grumbled to himself.
"The double dates been ruined. Way to ruin the night, dude."

A/N long one because I felt like it, and also I'm sick so last update in awhile??
This disease is an ass (iykyk)
