"Now now, after this commercial break we just had, shall we get to the point now?", Minho clapped his hands and we both walked towards him.

I gulped as I made my way towards him, because their faces made me nervous. They looked serious. It seemed that what they wanted to talk about was important.

Once I sat down between Minho and Jisung, the atmosphere was tense. Their attention was only on me, making me more nervous in the process.

Did I do something wrong?

"Guys you are creeping me out. Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do anything?", I gave them a weird look.

"See? I told ya she'll get nervous. Minho stop being scary. She'll pee herself with that look on your face.", Jisung scolded him. "Don't mind him, we just wanted to have some quality time together...and tell you some things..", He said hesitantly.

If that was his way of making me calm down, he definitely didn't succeed.

"Okay..? I'm listening.", I responded eagerly, trying to look at all of them.

We were currently scattered around a round table, some of us sitting on the big couch and some other on the individual chairs. But we could still get a clear view of one another.

Though, their attention was only on me and it was still creeping me out.

"Who's starting?", Seungmin questioned once he saw that silence took over.

Start what? A ritual or something?

"Ahem, as a leader, I should be the one.", Chan cleared his throat while placing Jeongin on the floor, in order for him to talk properly to me.

Poor Jeongin seemed taken aback from the oldest's action, pouting. But he got up right after, dragging a chair along with him and positioned himself comfortably on it. So now he could attend the conversation with ease.

"So, we are gathered here today for a life and death seriousness matter.", Chan joked, wanting to make the atmosphere less tensed.

And he actually succeeded, making us chuckle in return. Because the words he chose to use, didn't make much sense.

"Oh please don't start off like that. You sound like my history teacher.", Hyunjin groaned frustratedly.

"Fine, fine. To the point now.", he sighed and made eye contact with me at a split second, looking more serious than before.

"Okay so Rosa, we just all wanted to thank you properly and tell you how grateful we are to you, individually. I know you might not want to listen to us ranting about how much you have helped us, but sucks to be you right now. Wether or not you want, you will have to.", he grinned cheekily.

"Oh yeah right. Because we ALL know how much I hate you guys telling me sweet things.", I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes with a laugh, making them smile sweetly in the process.

"Trust me honey, it's gonna take so long that you will fall asleep.", Jisung warned me with a mischievous grin plastered on his face.

Is he challenging me right now?

Bring it on darling.

"Ahem, yeah so. As I was saying, we all are aware of the fact that we'll be leaving soon, right? We got notified that they are gonna send staff from the company to pick us up sooner or later.", he said bitter-sweet and I gulped to the thought of that.

I...

I don't know how to feel, really.

They had to leave sooner or later but still I wish I had them around for a little more. Considering the distance between our countries and my broken state, that I can't book a ticket even for a concert, it's obvious that we are not meeting again...

I shouldn't be selfish, I know. It's not everyday you get to hostile your idols to your own house. Some fans would give everything to be in this place.

Hence, I should be thankful that I even got this opportunity.

But they say, once you get a taste, you crave for more. And that's what's happening to me right now. I want more time with them, but no, I won't allow my arrogance take over me.

Having heard that, I took a long inhale and responded, "They have already notify you guys? When are you leaving? And why didn't you tell me that sooner..?", I said the last sentence a bit hesitantly, feeling a bit disappointed that they didn't tell me sooner.

The boys seemed to feel uneasy as they gulped, lowering their gaze down on the floor.

"W-well?"

"Rosa, they actually notified us almost a week ago. We just...we just didn't want to tell you and make you feel like you feel right now.", Felix spilled, leaving me dumbfounded.

Almsot a w-week..?

"You want to tell me that you knew it all along but hide it from me because what? You didn't want me to sulk?", I said with a poker face, trying hard not to show my disappointment but failing miserably.

"Shoot she's angry...", Jisung whispered whilst whistling.

"No I'm not angry Han. I'm just, I don't know. Maybe I don't want to admit that you guys are leaving me and take it all on you.", I sighed frustratedly, "I'm sorry.", I apologised, knowing that my behavior was childish.

"If there was someone that should apologise it's us. Sorry for not telling you sooner.", Felix added.

"But we kinda knew you would behave like that, so.. We avoided as much as possible...", Jisung teased.

"Oh screw you.", I rolled my eyes, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.

"Ouch.", he whined.

Maybe a bit too hard...

The others laughed out loud, satisfied with my action.

These boys really enjoy seeing Jisung being in pain, don't they?

I'll admit, it's funny watching him whine. His reactions are just priceless.

"Don't mind him. He likes to tease you.", Minho said, disapproving his member's choice of words.

"No shit Sherlock. This chipmunk should have been a comedian instead of an idol.", I giggled still playfully fighting with Jisung.

"But then, StrayKids wouldn't had been famous without me. I'm the most famous and handsome of the group after all.", he mocked, stucking his tongue out at me.

"Oh really?", I raised an eyebrow, "Then why am I Felix biased then?", I teased, earning a visible blush from Felix.

I don't even know from where I got this sudden rush of confidence.

"Either you have a terrible taste in men or it's true when they say that love is blind. Either way, you should go do a check up on your eyes.", He deadpaned, making me widen my eyes.

He didn't have to play me so dirty in front of everyone...

"Pff yeah right. Just admit that you are not the only handsome in the group. I'm not saying that you are ugly, because apparently you are not. But, the rest of the members are equally handsome.", I defended.

"Did you just call me ugly?", Hyunjin said offended, "Are serious comparing me to this thing?", he disgustedly pointed at Jisung, who was ready to jump over him and wack him.

"Just go with what I'm saying. I'm trying to defend you here, you little ungrateful child.", I glared.

"Watch it, I'm older than you.", he smirked.

"Yeah for five months. What now? You want me to call you oppa maybe?", I snorted.

"Ew no. That sounds so wrong coming from you.", his smirk dropped and instead, a very disgusted look took its place.

"I think we are loosing the point here.", Changbin commented.

"He's right.", Jeongin concurred.

"Fine. Keep going you guys."

"Okay so. I may or may not have told the boys what you said me earlier. And Chan as well.", Jisung added with a sheepish smile.

"I'm aware. Felix told me earlier.", I sighed.

"Like he wouldn't.", Minho mumbled from beside me, but I heard him.

"The thing is, we really felt bad, knowing that you thought that way without telling us.", Seungmin added.

"If I were to tell you, the atmosphere would have been weird and we wouldn't have had the fun we had.", I defended.

"Either way, as Han and Chan assured you, we are not going to forget you. We'll try to keep contact, okay?", Minho reassured me while taking a hold of my hand.

Holding my hand like that, it makes me feel that he tries to say goodbye. His loving gesture may be soothing for now, but once he let's go, my hand will feel cold. The same will happen once they leave for good. I'll feel cold and alone in my house, without their laughters feeling the room, without their messes, without their nags and rants.

Just an empty house, as I grew up with.

"Guys... Let's be honest with each other. How could you possibly get a hold of me?", I sighed.

"We do have your phone number, ya know.", Jeongin stated the obvious.

"Wh- That's not what I'm trying to say. You guys are idols and you have busy schedules. Knowing that, it wouldn't feel right to me to text you when you struggle to manage to do everything. I'd feel like a burden.", I admitted.

"Someone please knock some sense into this girl, or I might airfry her for good. Are you even listening to yourself right now?", Minho said in disbelief, flicking harshly my forehead.

"Ouch."

"Serves you right for saying such nonsense.", he crosses his arms.

"A gentleman's not suppose to hit ladies.", I gave him a death girl.

"Ladies? Where? I don't see one.", He smirked, making me get ready to hit the life out of him.

"We are getting out of hand again.", Chan sighed disapprovingly.

"Chan I'm warning you to make your children behave. They're being naughty.", I exclaimed.

"As if I can, Rosa. I've tried countless times but to no avail.", he said tired of his members' behaviour, "Enough of that though. To the point now."

"Right, so. Believe or not, wanting or not, we are still going to bug you, despite being far away from you.", Minho continued with a poker face.

"But-"

"No buts. That's final.", he interrupted.

"To put it nicely, because our fellow friend Minho is failing miserably to do so, we want you to know that we'll always make time for you.", Hyunjin said.

"You are not going to be a burden. Instead, you'll be our dose of serotonin.", Jisung continued.

"So stop thinking that this is the final goodbye because it's definitely not.", Changbin added.

"We'll reach out to you no matter what.", Seungmin exclaimed.

"We might as well meet again one day.", Jeongin assured.

"That will be our way of thanking you, for all the wonderful things you did for us.", Chan smiled warmly.

"Because we love and care about you.", Felix finished.

Tears stared forming and unexpectedly, I couldn't hold them back. I started sobbing.

The way that each member continued the other's words, made me weak in the sweetest way possible.

"Guysss, I-I love- you s-so much.", I tried to say between my ugly sobs.

"We love you more!", they all said in sinc.

"GROUP HUG!", Jisung yelled, clinging on me, the rest following.

Each one of us was squeezed together like piles of clothes, not letting any gap to separate us.

At this point, I didn't care about the lack of oxygen and the way I couldn't breathe properly, because this, was worth dying for.

I wouldn't let them suffocate me though. I had just a sufficient amount of air to inhale.

Their warmth made me soft and fuzzy inside, loving this feeling, I did not want to let go.

If I could, I would stay like that forever.

Stay with them forever.
