Ch8. History

Stella listened attentively as Angel Minnie unfolded the tangled web of relationships and secrets surrounding their group. She couldn’t help but feel a mixture of surprise, curiosity, and a twinge of excitement as she delved deeper into their world.

Angel started with his history, recounting his first encounter with Christian ChimChim and how their rivalry had originated. He explained that their competition went beyond just a personal feud, as it was intricately connected to their family backgrounds and power dynamics within their community.

“He’s always been trying to one-up me, especially when it comes to influence and control,” Angel confessed, his voice tinged with determination. “But I won’t let him undermine what we’ve built here with our tight-knit group of friends.”

As Angel spoke, Stella noticed the camaraderie and genuine bond shared among the members. It became clear that they weren’t just a random group of high schoolers. They were a family united by a common purpose and a shared history.

Angel introduced each member, elaborating on their unique strengths, personalities, and roles within the group. Despite his aloofness, Prince Jimin had a compassionate heart and an uncanny ability to diffuse tense situations. Jiminie, who had seemed distant, was a loyal friend and a source of wisdom, often offering guidance to others.

“Mochi is our strategist,” Angel continued, referring to the intimidating figure with purplish-grey hair. “He may come across as tough, but deep down, he’s fiercely protective of those he cares about.”

“Pabo, despite his name,” Angel chuckled, pointing at the guy with the game console, “is our tech whiz. He can hack into anything, and he’s always the one who comes up with the most ingenious plans.”

Lastly, Angel gestured toward the dreamy, brownish-blond guy. “And that’s Jimin-sshi. He brings positivity and light to our lives. He’s a beacon of hope, always there to lift our spirits.”

As Stella absorbed the information, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of belonging, a longing to be part of this group that fought against injustice and stood up for one another. She was grateful for Angel’s honesty and willingness to share their truth.

Angel paused, gauging her reaction. “Stella, I understand if this is overwhelming for you. But we want you to know that you are safe with us. We will protect you, guide you, and together, we’ll navigate the challenges that lie ahead.”

Stella nodded, a mix of gratitude and determination reflected in her eyes. “Thank you, Angel. I appreciate your trust and honesty. I want to be part of this. I want to help.”

Angel smiled, relieved by her response. “That’s what we hoped for. We’re glad to have you on board, Stella. Welcome to our family.”

With those words, Stella’s journey took an unexpected turn. She had opened the door not only to a room full of unfamiliar faces but also to a world of secrets, alliances, and hidden battles. But she was no longer alone. Together with her newfound companions, she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead and bring about the change they all yearned for.
