GARAM POV

???1: Oh so that's why you were so nice to her.

The girl said with a stink eye. Taeyong freaked out for a second, losing his cold demeanour momentarily.

Taeyong: Jia, babe, she is my ex-girlfriend. We don't see each other that way. Right Garam?

He looked at me. And i figured he wanted my help so i nodded.

Garam: Yeah, i don't like him anymore.

The female still looked annoyed with my presence and it was evident in her tone.

Jia: Alright... so why did you come here?

Taeyong: Oh right... You said you wanted help? What do you need help with?

Nice. Now how do i get in? What do i have to offer?

Garam: Can i talk to you alone?

Taeyong: Um...

Garam: Please?

Jia: Okay, you can but i stay here.

Doyoung: So do I.

I looked at him.

Garam: I don't mind her. But why you?

Doyoung: Because i can?

The others left when Taeyong nodded but i was busy glaring at Doyoung. I had come over the shock and I also remembered that he was a bitch for as much as I could remember of him. 

Taeyong: Go on...

Garam: Can you get me a job in your gang?

Jia chuckled in disbelief.

 Jia: You can't be serious. What can you even do?

This time i squinted my eyes at her. 

Is she actually challenging my science? Well she doesn't know i can do science...

Garam: I am a scientist. I can make you anything.

Taeyong: I thought you had another year for your degree?

I looked back at him. 

Right. I forgot... 

Garam: I graduated early.

I said coming up with the lie on the spot.

Doyoung: For what?

He asked with a snicker. I glanced at him, not entertaining his commentary.

Garam: Maybe i am just that good.

Doyoung: Sure. 

He leaned back and crossed his legs, one over the other. 

Taeyong: What about your sister? Boram?

I looked back at him. 

Garam: I gave up on her...

Another lie.

Taeyong: Alright... what will you make us Garam?

Garam: What do you want me to make?

He got lost in thought but Jia seemed to be faster. 

Jia: make a drug for us. A good, functioning drug that we can sell for loads. If you do it, he will take you in. 

She looked at Taeyong who looked back at her then nodded.

Taeyong: You can do that. 

---

I was in a lab that Taeil, as i learned to be another member of the group, had shown me to. 

As i was working on the drug i heard the door slide open. 

Doyoung: You look focused.

I spared a glance at him. 

Garam: If you are really just came here to annoy me, leave. 

Doyoung: Oh dear Garam. I am here to catch up. 

I put the stuff down and took off my safety glasses. 

Garam: You want to catch up with me?

Doyoung: Yeah... what's so surprising? 

He sat down on the table raising a hand to touch a tube. I walked around the table and slapped his hand away. 

Garam: You wanna burn a hand off?

He chuckled turning in his chair to face me with a smile.

Doyoung: Well you are here to avoid that from happening right? 

I snickered. 

Garam: What's wrong with you?

He stared at me with a glint of humour shining in his eyes.

Doyoung: Oh i don't know. It amazes me how you just popped up out of no where. I was in the car you know... and i thought there was a god damn glitch in real life because the next second you appear. I couldn't tell if it was actually you from the car. But then you convinced Taeyong to come in and then you.

He stood up and at that moment i hated that he was much taller than me. 

Doyoung: Care to explain Garam?

i nervously chuckled. 

Garam: Go away Doyoung. You are stalling me. I have a deadline.

I said as i walked back to my station. 

Doyoung: I don't remember Taeyong giving you one.

I put on my glasses and before i could respond he did.

Doyoung: But knowing you, you would have made yourself a deadline? What?... gave yourself two weeks?

Garam: One. 

Doyoung: Ah there's the girl you were. 

I smiled and let out a light chuckle before turning to look at him but he just walked to the door, not sparing me another glance. 

Doyoung: Still know you will fail though. 

He turned and winked. I let out a scoff.

Garam: We were having a proper talk for once. 

Doyoung: Oh no no no. We had proper talks before, until-

He abruptly stopped and i frowned.

Garam: What happened Doyoung? What did i do wrong?

His smile fell.

Doyoung: Why don't you think about it yourself?

Oop-
