Chapter Text
“And this is the famous statue room. It is called The Room of Sinners. Nobody knows why it is called that nor as to why the statues are angels. What we do know is that each angel is a representation of the seven sins,” The tour guides monotonous voice rang clear in the room. This was the third time I had been to this museum as a part of my college life, but I have never been in this room before. I was in my third year, studying in the music department and took part in the dance club as a little extra thing to keep me busy whilst I was stressed from the work load. I looked around at the seven statues, admiring the details of all their features.
“Miss L/F/N! Please pay attention and keep up! Even though you are a part of the music department, you still have to pay attention to this, your school is heavily involved with the museum so we ha-“ “-Have to show all the students around the exhibits. Yeah I know this is my third time.” I rolled my eyes as the assistant returned to the other students. I put my earphones in and started to listen to whatever was on the playlist.
I walked up to one statue in particular. It was an angel that looked as if it would launch at you. It had large black wings with a great amount of detail to them. “Angel of Greed huh? Doesn’t look too greedy to me.” I suddenly felt a hand on my left shoulder and I turned around fast. “Aish! Taehyung what are you doing!?” The boy laughed at my startled reaction. “Aha sorry to startle you Y/N. The groups moving on to the exit” my face lit up at the word “exit”. Finally I could go home! I followed Taehyung but then turned around once more to look at the statues. I squinted your eyes. “Hmm. I swear Greed looks like Taehyung. Lust looks like Jimin and Pride looks uncanny to Jungkook. Aha how odd!” I run out after Taehyung, who was standing with two other boys, Jimin and Jungkook.
After we were all signed in the coach pulled off. I sat at the back and sighed heavily. Jungkook sat on my right whilst Taehyung and Jimin were on my left. “Did you not enjoy the trip Y/N?” He looks at you concerned with how big your sigh was. “It was the same as the last two years, well apart from that new room, The Room of Sinners. That was interesting.” I showed a small smile whilst chuckling, remembering how I thought the statues looked like my three friends. “Hey chubs what’s funny?” He frowned at your random outburst but soon smiled because I was. “Well,” I calm myself, “Three of the statues looked like you. Greed looked like Tae-Tae, Lust is so similar to ChimChim and I had to double check Pride wasn’t Kookie!” I burst into laughter again. The three boys blushed when you said their nicknames. They lived in a house of seven, and before you knew that, you always had those nicknames for them, not knowing their ‘brothers’ called them that.
“Well,” Tae holds my chin and pulls it so I look at him “I can be greedy if you want.” He puts on a dark tone, which sends shivers down my back. Jimin scowls at Taehyung, “Well I can be lustful if you really want me to!” “Well I’m always proud so no need for me to change, because I’m the golden Maknae…” The four of us just laughed, but what I didn’t see was a darkness in their eyes when I said that they looked like the statues.
The coach finally pulled into the university campus when the other students start to murmur. “Hey, there’s a load of police cars here.” “I wonder what has happened…” When the coach stopped, an officer stepped onto the coach. His face was serious yet his eyes seemed slightly remorseful. “Is there a Miss L/F/N on this coach?” The boys look at me confused. You stand up. “Yes that’s me. What’s wrong officer?” “I would rather talk to you on your own. If that is possible.” I gave the boys a reassuring nod as I follow the officer off of the coach.
The officer took you to the back end of the coach, so no one could see you both talking. “Do you have any extended family you can stay with Miss?” I stare at the officer confused. “My parents were killed in a house fire years ago. I live on my own. Why, what’s happened?” The officer sighed and looked at you with a sad expression. “I’m afraid all of your possessions were burnt in your house. Someone set your house a light and nothing remains. I’m sorry to tell you this.” I look at the officer in disbelief. Someone tried to burn me alive again! Someone actually burnt my house down! Everything I had and worked for…gone….just like that… I felt something wet roll down my cheek. I didn’t realise it but I was crying. The thought that someone tried to kill me like last time scared me. The officer looked down as he patted your shoulder. “Are you boys close friends of hers?” The boys stood there a nodded. Jungkook and Jimin went to hug me as Taehyung approached the officer. “Yes officer. Is there an issue regarding Y/N’s family? The officer briefly explained to the boys what had happened. Taehyung clenched his fists whilst Jungkook clenched his teeth. Jimin just stroked my hair. “We have a spare room at our house. Y/N can stay with us from now on. We’ll copy all our notes for you and we will take you shopping tomorrow so you can buy some new stuff.” His voice was soft and I looked up to see Jimin’s sweet smile as Jungkook and Taehyung nodded in agreement.
After all the other students went home, I waited with the boys for their lift. Eventually a black land rover pulled up. The driver window rolled down as it stopped in front of us. “Hey sorry I’m late!” Jun gkook smirked at the voice, “Jeez, I’d rather have Hoseok pick me up than you be late.” Well I can always make you walk home and not cook anything for you if you want to be like that Kookie.” Jimin looked at me and laughed. “That’s Seokjin. He’s the eldest of the seven of us. He’s normally late because he works on the Children’s Ward at XXX Hospital.” I smile at Seokjin and bow. “Is it really okay for me to stay with you all?” “Of course it is! And please, call me Jin. It’s finally nice to meet the girl these three talk about constantly.” He smiles at me as the three blush and protest that what Jin said wasn’t true. “Just hurry in the car! Some of us have worked all day and want food!” I looked through the window to see the owner of the familiar voice. “Mr Kim!? What are you doing with Jin?” The man moved forward and waved. “Oh Y/N! So you’re moving in with us! And please, call me Namjoon at home. Honestly, Jimin has the better chance.” He winked at the three as I got into the car at the back. Taehyung and Jungkook were arguing with Namjoon over what he meant whilst Jimin put our bags in the boot with a small smile on his face.
I was sat in-between two other men. I looked down nervously when a hand touched mine.” Hey no need to be nervous. I’m Hoseok, or Mister Jung, the dance teacher,” He flashes a big grin at me, “If you ever need anything, never be scared to ask me, okay?” I nod at him and a small smile formed on my face. Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook sat on the seats in front of you. “Hey introduce yourself gramps!” I looked confused until the man on my right moved. “How many times have I told you Tae to stop calling me gramps. I swear sometimes I could quite easily hit you if Jin wasn’t so protective.” He rolled his eyes as he made contact with Jin’s eyes in the rear view mirror. “Anyway, I’m Yoongi. I’m the only normal one in this house so if they are too much for you, come find me. Oh you can find me in the music department, just ask for Mister Min.” I smile at Yoongi as he turns his attention to outside the window.
We arrived at the house and I gazed in awe. It was like a mansion, but at the same time it was more like an apartment complex. “You guys really live here? It’s so big.” The boys laughed at my shock over how big the house was. “Well there are seven of us, plus a spare room for guests so what do you expect?” Tae managed to say through his laughter. “I’ll show you to your room Y/N. I’m sure you want to unpack and explore the rest of the house?” Jimin grabed some of my bags as I grab the rest.(He took two of the bags where as you took your school bag). He takes you upstairs right to the end of the corridor. “Sorry it’s at the end of the corridor. I guess the positive thing is you will be the quickest to reach the bathroom.” He points to the room at the end of the corridor, causing me to laugh. “There’s that smile we like. Here, let me open the door for you.”
He opened the door to a large bedroom with a small balcony. “This is a spare room! It’s like a mini house in here… Honestly I would be fine with sleeping on the couch…” I turn to see a small picture on the bedside table. I walk up to it to have a better look. A small, sad sigh escapes my lips as I realise who is in the picture. “The officer gave it to me as Tae and Kookie were comforting you. He said that was the only thing they managed to salvage, well the picture was fine but the frame wasn’t in a good condition.” He wrapped his arms around my shoulders, resting his chin on my left shoulder. “When we got home, Yoongi and Hosoek went and made a new frame for it. We knew it was special, being it was of your parents so we wanted to make sure they were next to you.” I sobbed a quiet thank you as I held the picture close to my chest. I knew he was smiling at me.
After a few moments, we both went down stairs. The boys noticed my eyes were slightly red and looked worried. “Hosoek, Yoongi, thank you for the frame.” They smile at me when they all realise why I had been crying. Yoongi gets up from the sofa and hugs me, “Well it’s the least we could do to make this feel more like home for you.” All the boys echo what Yoongi said. I look up and notice one of them is missing. “Where’s Jin?” “I’m in the kitchen Y/N! Believe it or not they can’t cook so someone has to!” “: Ah let me help you! I can’t expect you to feed me without me helping!” I run towards the kitchen and helped Jin prepare the food.
We all sat on the sofa after eating the meal I helped Jin prepare. “Wow Y/N, you really can cook! Looks like we’re going to be high dinning from now on!” Namjoon yelled rather loudly, causing me to laugh with all the boys at Namjoon. “Honestly, thank you guys for letting me stay here. I don’t know what I would’ve done otherwise.” Jungkook puts his hand on my shoulder, “Well it wouldn’t be fair to see you have to drop out of school because of some careless person.” Jimin and Taehyung nodded in agreement with Jungkook. “Hey, Y/N you should go bed. You’ve had a busy day and you look tired,” Hoseok gave me a soft yet concerned look. I give him an embarrassed look, “But I only have these clothes I’m wearing…” Without warning, Namjoon and Yoongi grab both of my wrists. “We’ll lend you somethings for tonight. We’ll all go shopping tomorrow and get you new stuff,” they declared at the same time, small grins on their faces. I follow them both as the others watch with their mouths open.
After several minutes of going through their wardrobes, I ended up with a long black t-shirt from Namjoon and a pair of grey shorts from Yoongi. “I can’t believe how today’s gone… That stupid museum trip saved my life…” I scroll through the pictures on my phone. I raise my eyebrows at one specific picture, of the seven statues on the Room of Sinners. “Not only do those three look like those, but the other four also look like them too-“ I’m interrupted by a knock at your door. “Y/N, can I come in?” I shout that the person can come in and Jin appears with a smile. “Looking at pictures from the trip you had?” He smiled as he sat next to me on the bed. I look at him, confusion still in my eyes. “Jin, can I ask you something? Like an opinion?” He nods as he smiles at me again, my doubt disappearing. “Well, there was a room of seven statues, called the Room of Sinners. I think that each statue looks like all of you, what do you think?” I show him the individual statues and when I show him the pictures of wrath and sloth, his smile grows into a laugh. “Wrath looks so much like Namjoon and Sloth does indeed look like Yoongi.” We both laugh for a few minutes until Jin tells me that I need to sleep because tomorrow will be a busy day. I finally go sleep.
-Jin POV-
I walk downstairs as the others are talking excitedly about our new house mate. “Don’t get so happy. She’s made a connection. She’s Lillith.” The boys all look at me with a shocked yet serious look. “Guess we’ve got to step up our game then around school,” the three younger ones mumbled. I nod at the three boys. “Yes and you three will need to be eyes and ears as well from now on. I know that there are four of them in that school. Yoongi you have all four, so do you Hoseok. Namjoon, you have their leader.” The older three nod, “No worries Jin, we’ll watch her in classes too.” “I’ll devise a plan for tomorrow whilst we’re shopping with her. For now we all need to rest. Life’s gonna become a little hectic now.” They all nod as we all head to our rooms.
