Friend-zoned - Seungmin
❀ Comedy&slightangst
❀ Word Count: 8.7K
❀ Tired of being friend-zoned, Kim Seungmin swears to not let the next girl think of him only as a friend. Unfortunately, his plans start to fall through as a spunky and eccentric girl comes into his life, knocking him on his feet. Will he finally win his crush’s heart or will he be friend-zoned once again?
❀ a/n: YES THIS IS A SPINOFF TO “Fake Boyfriend - Changbin” hehe , this is Seungmin’s life! I brought back the o/c in Fake Boyfriend as well as Changbin too heeheh I hope you guys like this despite this being hecka long :)
P.S. You don’t need to read Fake Boyfriend to understand this fic but it is recommended! :)
❀ ❀ ❀
I stood awkwardly to the side as my best friend, Kyungmi, made out with her boyfriend in the hallway. The two of them had negative zero shame about PDA, which was absolutely disgusting. I was no prude, but I certainly disliked seeing people stick their tongues down each other’s throats. It was horrific.
I coughed loudly to make sure they both knew I was still there. My best friend leaned away with her eyes glazed and starstruck. Her boyfriend, Changbin, aka the biggest asshole with an attitude on campus, smirked at me and shrugged like he did nothing wrong. That prick.
I had supported their relationship, even when they both mutually lied to me, but Changbin was still irritating. I was used to winning every argument, but this boy would start screaming out of nowhere which caused me to go crazy. 
We didn’t get along to say the least.
“Sorry, Seungmin. Got a lil’ carried away there.” The girl smiled shyly at the older boy while he gave her a soft kiss back. 
“Maybe if Seungmin had a girl, he wouldn’t be so uptight.” Changbin closed his locker and nudged me to the side. 
Changbin always, and I mean always, pressured me to get into a relationship. And I would never admit this out loud, but I just wasn’t the type of guy girls wanted to date. I was always friend-zoned left and right which left me no girls to flirt with.
“Yeah, what’s the hold up, Minnie? You are a good-looking dude with charm! Girls should be falling at your feet.” I blushed at the girl’s compliments. 
“Maybe it’s you who we should be setting up on tons of dates.” 
As soon as Changbin said those words, my best friend punched him on the shoulder in excitement. I shuddered. 
“YES! That’s fantastic! Oh please, Seungmin, let us set you up with girls! Please??” The girl whined while tugging on my arm. Changbin smirked at me like he was finally getting his revenge on me. I raised a brow and sighed, knowing I was going to lose this fight. Plus, I was better than my best friend at talking to the opposite sex. If this turned out badly, I would just make more friends. Which would hurt my ego once again, but what can I do about being “best guy friend material”?
“Ok, fine, set it up.” I looked up at the clock in the hallway, eager to get away from the devious couple. “Look, I gotta go, but text me the details I guess.”
“No worries, bro, you’re in good hands.” 
When I looked back, Changbin was giving me a devious smile. I knew he still didn’t forgive me yet for forcing Kyungmi for going on dates she didn’t want to go on, but that was just our dynamic. If she wasn’t up for it, she would’ve told me. 
I gave the boy a glare back and walked into my first class of the day: English.
❀ ❀ ❀
As soon as I plopped down in my chair, I felt another presence plop next to me. 
“Hey, where were you all morning? I was waiting for you.” My other friend, or classmate, or whatever, Yeji, noted. I took off my glasses and wiped them on my shirt for dramatic effect.
“The couple caught up to me again.” Since the two always stuck together, everyone just called them ‘the couple’. Demeaning yet cute at the same time. 
“Ah, as always. I still can’t believe your cute little best friend ended up with... Changbin.” I laughed loudly and nodded. 
“You and me both. I still can’t wrap my mind around it. But, she always had a knack for liking bad boys.” I shrugged. My best friend was constantly reading books about nerd girls ending up with the baddest boy in school. It was rotting her mind obviously.
“Hm, most girls do.” Yeji noted. I examined her cute and sharp features that were now scrunched together. “I’ll admit, even I fall for them sometimes, but the nice guys always win my heart in the end.” I gave her a small smile back as she looked flushed.
Okay, okay, I like this girl. 
She was cute, but intense; shy, yet independent. She was perfect. 
“Hey, are you going to prom?” I asked curiously. It was only the biggest event of junior and senior year. I was always at the event, as it comes with the title of being class president every year.
The girl blushed and looked down. I had enough female friends that I knew what that meant. “Um, I-”
“KIM SEUNGMIN!” I heard a female voice yell my name. I recognized the irritating voice immediately. I smiled tightly at Yeji who was now staring at me with confused eyes. 
I sighed and turned sadly, which now I was staring at a girl who I had always found annoying.
“What, y/n?” 
Y/N. 
She was the typical emo kid in high school. She was annoying, but she really only had a few close friends. She only talked to you if it benefited her and her only. She had dark black hair but it was dyed purple at the tips. Her eyeliner was thick, and no, I don’t makeup shame, but it definitely made her look more like the “rockstar” she claimed to be. She wore all black; black skinny jeans that were ripped everywhere and probably breaking dress code, black long sleeves that hugged her every curve, and even paired her outfit with black Doc Martens. She screamed angst. 
We never got along and we had gone to school since our freshman year of high school. She was the only girl, or person really, in our grade that I never could befriend. 
“Well, today I talked to the principal about my band playing at prom, but they said to ask you, mister president. So, what is it?” 
I rolled my eyes at the girl. “Y/N, I told you, no one wants a live band. Everyone just wants stuff that’s on the radio or whatever.”
“Well, shitty music plays on the radio. And shitty singers. That I can sing better than. So, that’s why you should let me play at prom. Plus, wouldn’t letting us play promote like... school spirit?”
“Yes, a group of angsty teenagers would really boost the moral of the school.” 
That poked the wrong buttons on the girl. She bent down to my level and glared at me. “Really? Stereotyping me now?” She spat. 
I felt myself waver at her intense gaze, but I wouldn’t let myself lean back. “It’s nothing personal.”
She scoffed. “Yeah, because no matter how ‘angsty’ I appear to be, I probably have higher self-esteem than any of these bobble heads.” She raised a brow at the girl sitting next to me, Yeji, which made me feel territorial. 
“Hey, you’re talking to me. You don’t need to drag other people into this.” Yeji shrank back in fear at y/n who was now smiling.
“Aw sorry, I don’t mean to upset the girlfriend.” 
“Oh, you’ve misunderstood, we’re not together.” Yeji answered quickly which sparked sadness in my heart. I tried to not look hurt, but after hearing those words so many times, I was used to them. 
I never understood girls’ needs to shoot down dating someone so quickly. Especially when they’re sitting right next to the accused.
Yeji’s words and my reaction caused y/n’s eyes to flicker with interest. 
“Well, I hope you’ll take my proposition seriously. Bye, Seungmin.” She strutted away with a little sway in her hips. I tried not to look at her ass since that was rude.
I quickly snapped out of it and turned to Yeji. “Um, sorry about her. She’s kind of... a lot.” Yeji nodded.
“It’s ok, I’ve heard rumors about her. She’s bad news, everyone knows that.” 
For some reason, I accepted her words. Y/N technically was bad news. Everyone knew she skipped school too much to count, but I wouldn’t necessarily call her a bad girl. But to impress Yeji, I just nodded.
“Yeah, um, so prom?”
Yeji’s eyes wavered now, which was a bad sign. Bad bad sign. “Uh, yeah, thinking about it.” 
My confidence diminished and I decided to go the friendly route. “Well, hopefully if you go, they’ll be playing shitty pop music than whatever y/n wants to play.”
The girl laughed, which shot my confidence back up. 
I not going to be friend-zoned, not this time. 
Before I could plot out how to win Yeji’s heart, the teacher walked into the class. 
“Good morning class.” 
“Good morning, Mrs. Park.” The class hummed back. Mrs. Park set a pile of packets on her table, which caused the class to stare at the large stack.
“Today class, I’ve been wondering what to do since it’s your senior year and all. I was thinking about fun English inspired things.” 
“This doesn’t sound good.” Yeji hummed under her breath. I chuckled, making sure she knew I was interested in what she wanted to say. 
“And finally, the idea popped into my head! A group project!” The class groaned, even me. Everyone hated group projects. “Oh hush! This will be fun! I’ll be pairing you guys up in pairs of 2 to write your own creative story. It has to be at least 10 pages and fit all the components of what I’m about to hand out. I have some prompts on here as well, but you’re free to write what you want. The prompts are just to get you guys started.”
The class glared daggers at her head as she droned on about how good this project would be and how excited she was to read our stories. All we heard was how we had to arrange irrational times with our classmates who had completely different lives than us. Fantastic.
“Now, I’m sure you guys have been anxiously waiting about who you’re paired with.” 
Mrs. Park slid a piece of paper out of her folder and started reading.
“Yeji and Hyunjin.” 
Hyunjin, who was sitting in the front row, turned around to smile at Yeji. Who had turned a light shade of pink at the boy. Oh great. 
“Jeno and Jaemin. Haechan and Somi.”
Mrs. Park droned on with names until I perked up at mine. 
“Seungmin and....”
Please don’t be y/n. Please don’t be y/n.
“And y/n.” 
Fuck.
I looked over at the girl who was already looking in my direction with a smirk. She gave me an evil wave and laughed silently. 
“The story is due 2 weeks from now. It shouldn’t be too hard with two heads working together and you guys would be surprised on how quickly 10 pages will go. Good luck!” 
The last 10 minutes of class were dedicated to meeting up with your partner and scheduling times to write the paper and how to organize it.
“So, are you going to write our paper mister president?” y/n asked mockingly. I hated when she called me that.
“First of all, my name is Seungmin. And second, no way in hell am I going to write this for you.” The girl rolled her eyes as I opened the packet. 
“Well good to see you still have strong morals even when working with me. So, I have rehearsals with my band every Friday night, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. but anytime besides that I’m free.” 
I groaned internally.
“Well, I have leadership meetings every Monday and Thursday after school. So I guess that leaves most of the weekdays.” She nodded. 
“How about on Wednesday after school?” She suggested. I nodded, surprised she was the one who initiated a time. She gave me a cool smile. “Fantastic. See you then, lover boy.” She whispered the last two words in my ear, which I couldn’t lie, made me tingle at the close proximity. 
She walked away with a smirk and this time, I refused to check her out. 
I had morals.
❀ ❀ ❀
“Wednesday. 6pm. The Red Lobster across from that Subway.” My best friend, Kyungmi stated. Changbin was attached to her by the hip.
I sighed and shook my head. I had already forgotten about their plans to set me up with random girls. “Already got plans that day.” 
Kyungmi gave me a suspicious stare. “What plans?”
“Plans to whack off?” I glared at Changbin who was giggling at his joke which wasn’t even funny. Kyungmi smiled, but hit the boy. I never knew she was such a perv. 
“No. I have this project I have to do with y/n and Wednesday is one of the only days we have free this week. And the project is already due in 2 weeks so...” 
“Y/N? She’s the annoying bitch, right?” Kyungmi pinched his arm.
“Hey, don’t call her that... She’s just annoying and emo.” The two laughed.
“Yes, that y/n. But I mean, I have no choice. We have to work together.” I argued. I unwrapped my ham and cheese sandwich and bit into it. 
Kyungmi shook her head. “No, I mean, you could just write it and slap her name on it too.” I rolled my eyes.
“Yeah, nerd.” Changbin poked my side which made me want to slap him in the face.
“I already told her I wouldn’t do that. So, sorry, but you’ll have to reschedule or just cancel.” Kyungmi and Changbin sighed unanimously. 
Changbin then pulled out his phone and started to type something in. “Maybe you would change your mind when you see the girl.” 
I furrowed my brows in interest. As the egotistical boy stuck his phone in my face, my eyes widened. 
“Is that Yeji?” 
Kyungmi smirked, knowing she had gotten me. “Yup, Changbin’s friend is friends with her and heard she wanted to start dating so she would have a date to prom. And luckily, Changbin had overheard their conversation.” 
My head spun with excitement. “And I know you’re sorta into her. I’ve seen you look at her in the halls.” Kyungmi squealed giddly. 
“So you in?” 
I took a sip of my juice and my eyes fell on Y/N who had walked into the cafeteria. She raised a brow at me when she saw my stare. What, she mouthed. I rolled my eyes. 
“I’m in.”
❀ ❀ ❀
It was 5:30pm and my date with Yeji was in 30 minutes
It took lots of convincing with y/n to cancel. After I lied to her that my mom was sick and I had to take care of her, she finally let it go. I felt bad for lying, but her being busy on every day of the weekend caused this. 
Thankfully, the girl said she could push back her Saturday practice to night time and we could use the morning-afternoon to write the story. 
I threw on my best looking shirt and dark jeans. For some reason, girls liked dark jeans on boys. I looked at my hair and saw the mess. I groaned and started to style it. I felt dumb with the small straightener in my hands, but I had to do what had to be done to look good.
Once I was satisfied, I threw on my fanciest shoes and ran out the door. Yeji was coming from cheer practice and she said she would just meet me at the restaurant. I sped all the way there, hoping to be early. 
I looked down at my watch. 5:53pm. I looked around and there was no sign of her. 
This was a blind date, so she didn’t know who I was. Changbin just told her I would be waiting under the large Red Lobster sign.
“Seungmin? Is that you?” I spun around after hearing the feminine voice. I gave the girl a shocked look.
“Yeji, oh wow, what a surprise.” I lied lamely. The girl smiled and hugged me. I wasn’t sure if this was a friend hug or a happy hug or what. But I mean, I liked it. 
“I’m so glad it’s you! I was so nervous I was going to get a weirdo or something, but I’m glad Changbin set me up with someone as nice as you.” Nice. What a word. A word for friend-zoning. 
I smiled forcefully at her. “Let’s get inside so we don’t freeze our asses off.” She laughed loudly at me joke, probably more exaggerate since it wasn’t that funny. That boosted my ego slightly. 
“Table for 2.” I said to one of the staff. The girl nodded and led us to a table. I was glad it wasn’t extremely crowded on a Wednesday night. 
“Thank you,” Yeji said to the staff. I nodded in thanks as the waitress walked away. 
“So, getting into the dating scene are we, Kim Seungmin?” Yeji teased. I blushed, but grinned at her curious glance.
“Yeah, after Kyungmi and Changbin spent so much time together, I realized I was either sick of seeing them together or wanted to have a relationship like theirs.” Yeji cooed at my words. 
“Aw, that’s so cute! They’re really a cute couple, aren’t they?” I nodded. 
“Hi guys, are you guys ready to order?” We both nodded. 
Once I looked up from my menu, I saw someone I hadn’t planned on seeing here tonight.
I could spot that dark, yet wild hair from anywhere. Her black and purple hair was tied into a ponytail and she looked calm as she sat across from a boy much older than her, Chan, who I remembered was her brother.
She looked like she was finishing up her meal as she stood up from her booth. As soon as she stood up, her eyes met mine. 
Fuck. I was in deep shit now. 
Expecting her to call me out on my bullshit, I held my breath. 
Contrary to what I believed, the girl only looked at me with fed up eyes and walked away with her brother. I couldn’t help but feel like shit. 
“Seungmin?” Yeji’s voice snapped me out of my trance. 
I glanced up at the waitress who was waiting for me to order. Great, now I look like a weirdo.
“Sorry, um, I’ll get the steak and lobster.”
I forced myself to carry a conversation with Yeji, but all I could think about was why y/n didn’t stomp her way to my table while I obviously was on a date. 
Maybe she’s different than what everyone thinks about her.
I shook my head, no, that girl is bad news.
❀ ❀ ❀
I had done a great job at avoiding y/n all week. It was helpful she wasn’t here Friday either.
But it was Saturday now and I worse knowing that she pushed back her scheduled practice with her band when we had scheduled a time I should’ve been free for. 
I was dressed more casually today with blue jeans and a red hoodie. I wasn’t impressing anyone today. 
I drove to y/n’s house, scared of how she would react when I saw her again. Her house wasn’t far from mine. I held my breath as I walked to the front step. 
Her house looked more normal than I thought it would. For some reason, I thought it would be dark and gloomy like how she dressed, but it was a light brown with flowers all around it.
“Are you going to just stand there or are you going to ring the doorbell?” 
The voice startled me as I jumped back. 
Y/N was staring at me with judgmental eyes. I noticed the leash in her hand and then felt a small dog jump on my leg. I smiled, forgetting the scary girl right next to me, and pet the happy thing.
“Aw, aren’t you the cutest?” I cooed. Y/N scoffed and unlocked her front door.
“You’re early. Probably to make up for cancelling on Wednesday for some girl?” She taunted. I turned a dark red at her accusation, even though it was true.
“Ok, I’m sorry-”
“For what Seungmin? Getting caught or for lying? Or for causing me to push back my already scheduled plans for your impromptu dates? Hm?” 
I felt a rush of anger run through me even though I had no right to be mad. 
“Why are you acting as if we’re dating? We’re not even friends. I have no loyalties to you.” 
I wanted to take back the words as soon as I said them. Y/N’s jaw dropped.
“Wow, you’re an even bigger asshole than I thought. We made plans and if you were a decent human being, you would keep them. We could be arch enemies but you still had a commitment, especially since we don’t have many free days.” She spat. I had nothing to say and took her words in.
“I’m sorry, fuck, I didn’t mean to say that. And I’m sorry for cancelling plans, but I just really like Yeji so I just had to take the chance. I’m sorry.” 
Y/N stood in silence for a few moments before taking a step back. 
“Maybe if you let me play at prom I would be more forgiving.” 
I rolled my eyes. “I-”
“I’m teasing. I don’t want to hold this over your head since Yeji is hot. A shitty person, but hot.” 
Y/N opened the door for me to let me in, but her words didn’t go over my head. I quietly shut the door and examined her house that I knew she was secretive about. It looked... peaceful. Normal.
“What? Yeji is not a shitty person.” Y/n smiled at me.
“Oh really? Are the things she says about me nice?” I had nothing to say to that.
“She’s only saying what’s true.” Y/N stopped walking and glared at me.
“What? That I skip class? Big whoop, everyone does that. She makes huge accusations about me when I only characterize her because of the things she says about me and the way she looks at me and the way she talks to me.” 
Before I could get a word out, the girl shoved me into her room. 
“Now, that’s a good story idea. We could write about a bitchy cheerleader and how she sabotages people’s lives so that she looks good.” The girl suggested. I rolled my eyes. 
“Or, we could write about not that.” I tugged the packet out of her hands and stared at the prompts. “Write about a boy who finds a time machine and travels through all of his best/worst memories.”
“Lame. I hate time travel stories. They confuse and bore me simultaneously.” I sighed and looked at more prompts. 
The girl sat in her spinny chair and spun around like a child. I couldn’t help but scan her. She was wearing shorts, probably because she only left the house to walk her dog. Even when being at home, her clothes were still all black. She was wearing a black over the shoulder t-shirt with black shorts.
It felt weird to notice this, but her nails were painted black as well. Both her fingernails and toenails were the same color which Kyungmi told me girls liked to do.
“Wow, checking me out even when you have another girl in your heart? Hm, I didn’t know you were such a bad boy, Seungmin.” 
I felt my heart skip, noticing how she said my name when she usually called me “mister president”. 
I blushed at her words and looked away quickly. “S-sorry, um, I was just curious as to why you wear black clothes all the time.” The girl laughed softly and twisted her hair over her shoulder.
I tried not to read into her movements but girls playing with their hair always meant something. At least according to web articles.
“Well, I wear black clothes because I like the color. You wear blue a lot, probably because blue is your favorite color right?” I nodded slowly, but surprised she noticed the clothes I wore. 
I felt proud of myself for some reason, my felt my heart warm as she paid attention to the small details of me.
“Uh, I guess. Anyways, any more story ideas? Maybe a character you would wanna write about?” The girl crinkled her nose and swiped her side bangs out of her face. She scooted closer to me and suddenly, my male hormones were heightened. 
She smelled fruity, but her scent wasn’t that heavy that I was choking. Her hair matched the fruit theme of her perfume and I couldn’t help but get lost in it. I hated myself at this moment.
I hadn’t been so close to a girl who wasn’t a friend in so long. 
"You’re wearing perfume.” I noted lamely as she was taking a while to think. She looked up me in surprise and smiled. It was different than her usual smiles, but they always made my heart flutter.
Stop, you like Yeji, stop letting your hormones take over you like some basic asshole.
“Hm, yeah I am. I wear it whenever I go out or whenever I have guests over. I’m surprised you noticed.” She wiggled her brows and opened a word document on her laptop. “Is there any genre you prefer writing?” 
I snapped out of the girl’s charm and looked at the laptop. “Yeah, yeah, I like to write fantasy I guess.” Y/N smiled.
“Good. We’re on the same page then. Do you like supernatural themes like ghosts, fae, vampires, werewolves...?” She babbled on. I wasn’t that surprised y/n was that into this stuff since she was quite weird. I guess that made me weird too when I was excited. 
“All of the above.” 
“And before we get ahead of our selves, let’s remind us that the expected page count is 10 and we only have 2 weeks to write this.” The girl noted smartly. I nodded and adjusted my glasses as she leaned over me to grab her pencil. “Sorry, I like to plan on paper.” 
I watched as she grabbed a piece of paper and started drawing circles. I let out a chuckle before I could stop myself. She glanced up at me with rough eyes.
“What?”
I shrugged. “Nothing. Just you planning things out is cute.” She froze at my words, and even I was surprised at my confidence. 
“Shut up,” she said, but I knew there was a faint blush on her cheeks. 
Huh, maybe this flirting thing isn’t so hard after all.
❀ ❀ ❀
After discussing for a long 30 minutes, we had finally decided on a basic plot and characters. 
“After being assigned a dangerous mission, Yoon Sehun’s life starts to crumble. He is tasked with the mission to infiltrate a high school and seduce and kill an innocent girl who is holding secrets of her own. Is that a good summary for Mrs. Park?” I nodded at the girl who looked much happier at writing than I did.
She smiled happily and kept going. “And basically, he starts to fall in love with her seriously... do we want a happy ending or sad?” 
I fiddled with my glasses, a habit I had when I was thinking. “Um, which do you prefer?” The girl groaned.
“Making me do all the hard work. Ugh, well, I like to read happy endings more, but with the short time limit we have and page limit of 15, I’d say we just leave it off on a cliffhanger.” 
I agreed. “You right. Now, let’s get it started.”
❀ ❀ ❀
We had been typing for hours, constantly asking one another if writing something was ok. We switched off every 30 minutes to write which made the flow hard, but we agreed we would edit it in the end. I was surprised to see how good of a writer she was. 
And I was more surprised on how well we were getting along. 
“Wow, this is looking really good. You’re a really good writer.” I complimented. Y/N was laying on her bed, scrolling through her phone as I scanned over her work. 
I heard her snort. “Well, I do write songs on the daily. I am in a band you know.” 
“Ah, right.”
“Talking about my band, any new thoughts about us performing at prom?” I sighed, but said nothing for a few moments, trying to decide on what to do. 
I settled with a question. “Why do you want to perform at prom so badly? No offense, but you don’t seem that connected to this school.” 
I heard the bed rustle and I knew she was walking over to me. Her hair was messy and I tried not to imagine if I was laying next to her on that bed.
Her face was serious as she sat next to me.
“First things first, we go to a rich school that has major connections. If my band performs there and some rich kids likes it and has connections to the music scene, it could be big for my band. Second, I really love performing, as do my band mates. And third, rich kids with connections.” 
I chuckled at her honesty. 
“Ok, how about I let you perform a few songs-”
I saw her eyes light up. 
“Wait, seriously, you would let me perform?!” Her voice was laced with excitement and shock that I couldn’t help but smile. 
“Um, yeah, you put up a good argument and-” She didn’t wait for me to finish before pulling me in for a hug. It felt weird since I was sitting down and she was standing up. She felt the same and pulled me up to stand. I laughed as she pulled me in for a proper hug when we were standing.
“Thank you thank you thank you!” She cheered. “You’re the best, Seungmin.” She then released me and sat down. 
“Speaking of prom, are you thinking of asking anyone?” She looked at me with curiosity in her eyes.
I took a while to answer, but before I could, I heard her phone alarm go off. 
“Shit, that means my band mates are coming over real soon. Um, we can finish on Wednesday, of course, if you aren’t busy?” I rolled my eyes even though I still felt guilty. It wasn’t like me to cancel on people for a date. 
“Sure. After school Wednesday and if I cancel, you can whip my ass.” 
“And what a fine ass it is.” She teased with a hint of flirtiness in her tone. 
I choked from shock. “Wha-”
“Bye, Seungmin. See you Wednesday.” 
She closed the door on me as I was left in the cold to think about what just happened and why the girl I had thought was annoying was super attractive all of a sudden.
❀ ❀ ❀
“Hey, Seungmin.” I gave a small nod to Yeji who I surprisingly didn’t think about to much over the weekend. 
“Hey, how was your weekend?” I asked respectfully. Kyungmi told me that girls always liked to be asked on how their day was. It showed like the boy cared.
She smiled and curled a strand of hair behind her ear. “It was good! I got lots of cleaning done, ugh, my room was an absolute mess. How about you? How was working with y/n?” 
I didn’t miss her nose crinkle as she said y/n’s name. I felt a burn of anger run through me as she did that. 
“Hey, y/n isn’t that bad as I thought. She was actually really helpful.” I defended. I didn’t know why I was defending a girl to the girl I was interested in, but the words left my mouth as soon as I said them.
Yeji looked guilty. “I-I didn’t mean anything bad, I thought we were on the same page about her.” Now I felt guilty. I had a soft spot for blubbering girls.
“Hey, I get it, but surprisingly I didn’t go mad with her around.” Yeji nodded and looked to Hyunjin.
She leaned close to me. I felt my nerves come alive as I felt her hair tickle my neck. “Just between us, Hyunjin is good-looking and all, but he sucks at writing. He couldn’t decide on characters and a plot. We had a rough time. I’d rather have you as a partner.” 
As she pulled away, I noticed how she was biting her lip slightly which tugged at my heart. Her smell was much stronger than y/n’s though, which forced me to hold down a cough. I wasn’t fond of floral smells which Yeji reeked of. 
The door opened once again which caught my attention. 
The familiar girl walked in with a sway in her steps. I felt my breathing stop as she locked eyes with me. She gave me one of her infamous smiles and sat down. 
“You two seem friendly.” Yeji whispered. 
“Oh no, no, it’s not like that.” I defended. Now I knew how girls felt when they were accused of dating someone.
“Not like what?” Yeji teased. I realized then that she said nothing about a romantic relationship. I’d just assumed it. I blushed as she squeezed my hand.
“You’re cute.”

It was a normal Monday night that I was spending with Kyungmi and Changbin. I swear the two lived together at this point.
“So, spill about your date with Yeji! You’ve been holding out on us for way too long!” Kyungmi cried out. Changbin and I were immersed into the video game were playing, but Kyungmi paused it.
“Hey, we were-” Changbin was cut off by Kyungmi’s glare. “Yeah, Seungmin, how was your date?” 
The boy was whipped.
I sunk back to the couch and tried to remember the events. My mind wasn’t in the moment on the date. I kept feeling guilty about ditching y/n. 
“Um, it was good.” I settled on saying. 
The two narrowed their eyes at me. 
“Good? That’s it?” Kyungmi interrogated.
I shrugged her off as she got too close to me. “Yes, good, she’s pretty and nice and sometimes funny.” 
“Dude.” Changbin added.
“What?” 
“Good isn’t the way you’re supposed to describe a date. Did you even feel a connection with her?” Kyungmi asked.
I shrugged. “I mean, yeah, I guess? It wasn’t awkward. And she seemed to be flirting with me today so I would take this as a good sign.” 
Kyungmi then hit me with a pillow. “Ow, what the fu-”
“Do you like, not like her anymore? What’s the deal with you?” Kyungmi babbled. I was confused. I had said I had a good time with her, I didn’t understand the problem.
“Ok, honestly, I was sort of out of it on the date. I saw y/n there and she saw me and I felt bad about cancelling and lying to her about why I cancelled.” I confessed.
I thought the two would show signs of disgust of the girl, but the two simply just looked at each other. I hated when they did that.
“What?” I barked. Changbin held up his hands in surrender.
“Well, I’m going to just say it, I didn’t think y/n was your type.” Kyungmi hit his shoulder to shut him up, but the damage was already done. 
“What do you mean by that?” I tried to think back on past girlfriends I had which never lasted long because they realized I was “better as a friend”, but they weren’t that different.
“Changbin, stop it.”
The boy shrugged and kept spilling. “What? It’s true. The girls you’ve dated before are like... nice. And social. Y/N is... not those things.” 
I felt something burn in my chest. I wasn’t sure what it was but I recognized part of it was anger. 
“Don’t be an asshole, Changbin. I’m not even into y/n anyways.”
Kyungmi sighed and sat next to me. She patted my head like she always did and spoke softly. “Just, be careful not to get hurt. And try not to hurt anyone in the process.”
“What do you mean? Y/N doesn’t even like me. She thinks of me as a friend.” 
I felt my phone vibrate and I peered down at it.
‘Hey Seungmin, I am highkey bored in my room on a Monday night with millions of story ideas running through my mind. is it ok if i add to our story and edit it?? u can change it wednesday if u dont like it but i felt the need to ask u first’
“If that’s from y/n, I’m going to scream.” 
I glared at Changbin. “Well it is and don’t fucking scream or else I’m leaving.” Changbin and Kyungmi both attacked me for my phone. 
Changbin started laughing and tossed me my phone back.
“Dude, she totally likes you. She’s trying to start a conversation with you.”
“She literally just asked me about our essay, how the hell is that a sign at all?” I spat.
I texted the girl back.
‘yeah sure youre a great writer anyways’
Soon, she was typing back. 
‘yay thanks~ for both complimenting me and letting me write lol’
“What did she say?” 
“None of your fucking business.” 
Y/N couldn’t like me... there was no way. She knows I’m into Yeji.. right?
❀ ❀ ❀
Wednesday came soon enough and I was instead in a library with y/n. She had snagged our own private room for a couple hours and we were currently adding and editing to our story.
She came in wearing a red shirt and I was shocked at the change. I hated that I noticed it. And that I liked it. 
“You’re wearing color.” I said before I could stop myself.
Y/N looked down at her outfit and shrugged. “What? I can’t wear color now?” She crossed her arms in that defensive way girls did. 
“I just mean you look good.” She raised her brows.
“Well, you should’ve started with that.”
The girl sat down and I tried not to check out how good her legs looked in her black skinny jeans. 
“Anyways, thank you for letting my band perform at prom. It means a lot to us.” She thanked while getting out her things. I noticed how her black nail polish had changed to dark purple. I wondered if she redid her toes as well.
I gulped and stopped thinking about her so much. “Uh, no problem. I hope you won’t let me regret it.” She laughed.
“No sir. Anyways, are you going with anyone to prom? Mister president has to have girls lined up at his door, right?” She teased but I could tell there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes. 
I laughed and felt nervous at her question. “Uh, if I’m being honest with you, there aren’t many girls lining up at my door.” 
She looked surprised at my comment. “Really? I find that surprising.” 
I shrugged. “I get friend-zoned by most girls. When I say most, I mean all.” I said spitefully. I heard y/n sigh and blow out a large amount of air. 
“What?” 
The girl shrugged. “Nothing, it’s just so, so, annoying when boys say that.” I furrowed my eyebrows at her statement. 
“It’s annoying when girls do that.” 
She gasped at my statement. She stared at me with her jaw dropped and judgmental eyes. “Oh wow, I didn’t know girls had to fall for you if a boy becomes their friend or if a boy shows interest in them. Excuse me for that.” 
I rolled my eyes at her, but the more I talked about it, the dumber I sounded. “Ok, I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just... frustrating when all the girls I like end up only thinking of me as a friend. And I know that they don’t have to like me, but after so many, it just bums me out I guess.”
“That’s understandable, but also, how are you so sure that those girls only thought of you as a friend? Did you ask them?” 
I furrowed my brows. “Uh no, I can just tell.” Y/N gave me a tight smile like she was holding back. 
“Wow. Amazing that you have that talent.” I scowled at her.
“Ok, well, sometimes I get signs a girl doesn’t like me and then I don’t want to make her uncomfortable. Plus, girls always fawn over the bad boys which I’m not. I’m just a nerdy nice dude with some attitude.” 
The girl sitting next to me said nothing, which made me nervous. 
“Not all girls like bad boys.” She noted. I licked my lips while she scooted closer to me. “Bad girls don’t like bad boys. That’s too much bad for one relationship.”
“Then what do bad girls like?” The question slipped from my lips before I couldn’t stop myself, but I didn’t regret my question. 
The girl lifted an eyebrow and lightly flicked her tongue over her teeth.
“Hm, bad girls like good boys.” 
Suddenly, the atmosphere in this tiny, private room changed. 
I tried not to focus on the way her hand rested on my thigh. I tried not to focus on her lips that had a sheer coating of lip gloss across them. I tried so hard but I failed as she pulled me closer to her.
“Want a sign? I’ll give you one.” 
Before I could process what was happening, she kissed me.
Her lips hovered above mine for a split movement before she kissed my bottom lip slowly. I felt my heart pounding out of my chest. I felt more alive than I’ve ever felt before. 
I didn’t know when she got on my lap, but I felt a jolt when she get comfy. 
She ran her fingers through my hair as I tried not to let out any noise. I gained courage and deepened the kiss which made her sign in content. 
Oh fuck. 
I gripped her waist to keep her from falling. She took off my glasses and rested them on the table. 
“So, right now, you have the option whether to keep kissing me or to finish this essay. Which do you prefer?” My head was spinning. All I could feel were her legs on mine and her hands in my hair. All I could think about was how much I wanted to kiss her, not some stupid essay for English.
“Kissing you.” 
She chuckled.
“Good choice.” She whispered before taking me lips again.
❀ ❀ ❀
I slammed my door shut, wondering what the fuck just happened.
Did I just make out with y/n for... god knows how long. Did I just do that? What even happened? We were just talking about how bitchy I was and then she did that. How did that even escalate? What am I doing? Was this just a one time thing or does she like me? Do I like her? 
I took a deep breath and laid on my bed. 
What about Yeji? Am I still into her? Was I ever really that into her? I didn’t even know her.
I slapped myself. “You shit, stop thinking about this.” 
I tried not to fantasize about how much further we could’ve gone if our time wasn’t up in that tiny room but that’s all I could think about.
“Fuck, Changbin was right. She’s into me.”
❀ ❀ ❀
The essay was due on Monday and luckily, y/n had written enough that we didn’t need to meet up again. I decided to write the ending then edit, and then she edited it. 
I hadn’t talking to y/n much since Wednesday and my lips burned every time we made eye contact. 
Y/N was right. I had never gone after girls who were adamant about what they wanted and it excited and scared me at the same time. 
“Hey, stranger.” 
I jumped up, forgetting I was in a public place. 
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” Yeji said with a small smile. I shook my head and gave her a forced grin.
“No, no, it’s okay. Um, how did your story turn out?” I asked. 
Yeji’s eyes zoned out for a few moments before focusing on mine. “Um, the story was okay, but things with Hyunjin? Way better.” 
I raised my brows in surprise. Not just from surprise at her infatuation with the boy, but surprise I didn’t care that much. 
“Oh? Do tell.” I teased. Yeji fidddled with her thumbs nervously.
“Ok, ok, so, we were just working on the essay and then he just asks me to prom. It was kinda cute ‘cause he stuttered over his words, but still cute nonetheless. So, yeah!” She grinned widely with hearts in her eyes. 
I smiled back at her. “That’s awesome, Yeji. You two are cute together.” 
She nodded, barely hearing what I was saying when Hyunjin walked in the room. Hyunjin gave her a nod in acknowledgment, but he didn’t say anything. 
He was just those types of guys. 
❀ ❀ ❀
Prom night.
The biggest event of the year. 
The time of year when mainly juniors and seniors lost themselves in one big crowd and the night when everyone lost their virginity. It was a mess honestly, but it was a mess that we all experienced together. With it being my senior year, prom held a deeper meaning for me this time. 
Since I was a senior this year, I wasn’t required to come early, but I did so anyways. 
“Hey mister president, here so early? Don’t you have some pictures to take at a lake or something?” 
I turned and saw Y/N. She was wearing a dark black dress that hugged her in all the right places. Her hair was curled and more voluminous than usual. I couldn’t help but notice she put on a stronger amount of perfume.
I grinned at her teasing words, but shook my head. 
“Nope, I came to set up. As the president should do.” 
She frowned faintly. “Aw, you should be having fun. I’m only here early to help my band set up.” 
I had almost forgot her band was performing two songs tonight. I had never heard them play and prayed they were good. 
“Hey, um, you’ll watch my performance right?” 
I snapped out of my trance and looked at her. Her eyes were wide and hopeful as she gave me her best puppy-eyed look.
I smiled at her as she jut out her bottom lip. “Of course, I wouldn’t miss it since you worked so hard to play.” 
She laughed wildly and held my arm in that flirty way. I started to wonder what she wanted us to be. Were we just friends who made out with each other sometimes or enemies who made out with each other or did she actually want an actual relationship? 
Girls are so confusing. 
Suddenly, we both heard someone call her name. 
“Um, I gotta go set up now. See you soon?” She said hopefully. I nodded and gently sent her off. 
❀ ❀ ❀
It was 9pm which was the official time prom started. The music was blaring as the band hadn’t gotten on stage yet and someone brought streamers of their own, which coated the dance floor. 
Kyungmi and Changbin were somewhere dirty dancing and on the verge of being kicked out while I hung in the bigger crowd.
Kids were kicking their shoes off and soon there was a dance contest in the middle of the dance floor. Cheers and hollers erupted through the air as rowdy people flew through the air. 
Suddenly, the music was turned down and I saw people come on stage. 
I smiled at the beautiful girl standing on stage. She was the only girl in the band which made her shine brighter.
I heard her introduce her band name and the song she was going to be singing, but when I turned my head for a split moment, I saw some girl crying out of the room. 
I squinted and saw that the girl was Yeji. Suddenly, we locked eyes. Her eyes were full of desperation and sadness as she turned away. 
I looked to my left and saw Hyunjin, dancing with a girl who didn’t look like Yeji. I felt my heart tighten. 
Oh no.
“Um, this song is dedicated to a really great friend I made near the end of my senior year. Here’s to change!” 
The crowd erupted into cheers but I doubt anyone just heard what Y/N just said since they were all drunk. 
I looked back and saw that Yeji was still staring at me with longing in her eyes. Like she was waiting for me to chase after her.
I mean, that was the type of guy I was. The type of guy who left whatever he was doing to help a sad girl. A girl who needed my help. 
I looked back at the stage and saw Y/N starting to sing, but when I saw Yeji walk out of the room, I felt something in me snap. 
I pushed my way out of the dance floor and went to follow Yeji. 
This better be worth it.
The girl was sitting outside on the bench. I sighed and opened the door to the outside. She jolted up, but gave me a weak smile. 
“You came.” She said softly.
I felt my knees weak at her words. “Yeah, uh, you looked like you needed a friend.” I heard her sniffle which made me notice the cold air.
I pulled off my jacket and pulled it over her shoulders. “Thank you. For the jacket and for coming out here.” I gave her a small smile, trying not to think about Y/N who most likely saw me run out here. I didn’t know what I was thinking. It was in my nature to chase after crying girls. Y/N would understand.
“Hyunjin he, he-” She was cut off by her small sobs. “He left me for some other girl. He was openly grinding on her and I couldn’t do anything. I hate him.” She spat. I held her close to me and let her lay her head on my shoulder.
“It’s okay, let it out.” 
We sat there for a while, with her just calming her breathing and I was just trying to be a good friend. 
Inside, the music was dying down and I knew the band had stopped playing. I felt like shit knowing I had just missed a song dedicated to me and that I didn’t keep my promise. But I had known Yeji longer, I was her friend. I had a commitment to her. 
❀ ❀ ❀
My night seemed like it went by too quickly.
Yeji’s parents came and picked her up. She tried not to look too embarrassed as her parents greeted me fondly and reprimanded her for going out with Hyunjin and not me. 
Soon, I saw more and more students flow out of the school. The students always had to evacuate quickly since the staff didn’t want to waste their whole night cleaning up our mess. 
I searched the crowd for a sign of Y/N, but I didn’t see her ‘til the very end. 
Her hair was messy from performing and the sweat glowed in the moonlight. She looked stunning even when she was dead tired. 
She turned my way, and once I smiled, she looked away.
Wait, what was that? 
I ran after her. “Y/N, wait-”
She whipped her hair around, with tears filling her eyes. 
“Are you serious? You have the fucking nerve to come after me right now? You must be stupid.” I ignored her harsh words and took a deep breath.
“Y/N, please, I’m sorry, I really am. But Yeji was crying and Hyunjin left her, I couldn’t just leave her alone. I’m her friend, you know-” 
“Oh my god, please just stop talking.” She blurt. I was stunned at the amount of anger she had. We weren’t even a couple. 
“You know, you complain so fucking much about the bad boys getting all the credit and all the attention and how all girls like bad boys, but you know what? You do get the girls obviously and you’re not even a ‘bad boy’, you’re just mean. You play with girls like it’s nothing and I’m not going to stand here for it. You’ve been into me and Yeji at the same time and I’m not going to stay here and let you choose me or her like we are options in a buffet line.”
I saw a tears fall down her cheek as she adjusted her shoes. 
“You know, unlike Yeji, I didn’t wait for a bad boy to break up with me before I went for the nice guy. I always wanted the nice guy.” 
I didn’t realize I was crying until she walked away, leaving me with all my emotions. 
She shrugged in that fake nonchalant way and gave me a tight smile with tears dancing in her eyes.
“Goodbye, Seungmin. I hope you treat the next girl right.”

Quotations
Ambient Conversation:
“It’s mornings like this that make you almost forget -- wait, was that a gunshot? *sighs* Nevermind.” “As much as I love this whole, “wilderness” business, can we find a road, or a car, or something? “Hurting people may never be at the top of my to-do list; but when they threaten my home, I make an exception.” “There are things that see a hell of a lot better than we can at night, let’s camp out somewhere before we’re both bear food.” “You ever think that there isn’t going to be an acceptable punishment for these assholes when we find them? They’ve ruined too many lives for there to be an equitable solution.”
When the Deputy Points a Gun at Them:
“Look. If you’re going to be a dumbass. Be it somewhere else. Not around me.” “I can break fingers just as easily as I can set them.”
Holland Valley:
“This is my home, and to see it burn and the people’s lives in ruins -- there aren’t words.” “While we’re up here, maybe I should stop by and see Kim, make sure she’s doing alright.” “Some people may see John Seed as a pretty face -- but I’d just as soon shoot him between them for all he’s done.” “You ever see that big fucking “YES” sign up on the hillside? The asshole made his “followers” make it as repentance for their sin. Fucking sick if you ask me.” “I wonder how Grace is holding up -- I know how rough these last few months have been on her, she sounded worse for wear in her last broadcast. I hope she’s alright.” “It pisses me off that my office was turned from a family practice into a triage and meatball surgery station. They won’t get away with this -- the blood of this Valley is on their hands.”
After Being Captured By John:
1st Encounter: “You’re lucky Pastor Jerome was listening into all of the Peggie radio chatter -- John doesn’t exactly have a gentle touch. I’ve patched up more than my fair share of people who escaped his flayings.” 2nd Encounter: “Well, you know Hudson’s alive. It’s not much of a consolation, but it’s a reason to put this fucker in the ground. We’re all behind you, Deputy.” John’s Death: “There hasn’t been anything so satisfying in my life as watching that fucking plane go down in fucking smoke. Thank you for giving us back the Valley, Deputy.”
Henbane River:
“Sometimes I think Sharky has the right idea -- with the Bliss at least. Burn it all fucking down.” “You’re telling me that Lindsey was out in this mess? The man’s braver than I thought -- especially because he has the survival skills of a newborn kitten.” “I made a lot of housecalls out this way -- mostly preppers who don’t trust cities or small towns or villages or any group of people really. What fun that was.” “There’s something terribly ironic about the only available stronghold in the Henbane being a jail. Don’t worry. I won’t pick any fights. Yet.” “I’ve heard rumors that Faith is having them dump her Bliss into the waters of the area -- I don’t want to think about all of the kids who would spend their summers swimming in these creeks.” “Make sure you’re careful out here -- the Bliss does stuff, most of it we can’t explain, and if it pushes you too far, we may never be able to get you back.”
After Being Captured By Faith:
1st Encounter: “As your doctor, I can’t in good faith keep recommending you to jump off large statues like that. So, if you could refrain from doing so in the future, I can sleep much better.” 2nd Encounter: “Look. I know you want to save the Marshall, be the hero and all that, but you’re putting yourself in danger, real danger, by doing this. Just… Be careful. That’s all I’m saying. Faith’s Death: “It’s such a shame that the woman who has destroyed not only people’s lives but their minds is gone. I’m really going to miss her. That’s sarcasm, it’s all sarcasm. Fuck that woman. I hope she’s burning in hell right now.”
Whitetail Mountains:
“Look, if we don’t find an ATV or car. I swear to Christ, I am going back to Fall’s End and refuse every single radio call from you ever again.” “Jacob’s the worst of the four -- takes everything from you, like Faith, but worse, because it’s like your a passenger in your own body. What kind of sick fuck does that to someone?” “I’ve heard of the Whitetail Militia -- sort of like Robin Hoods against the big bad Jacob Seed. Taking supplies, men, whatever they can from him. Gotta admit, with how on edge Jacob is, they have to be doing a good enough job.” “No. I refuse. I am not going with you to the Hurk family residence. Go find someone else. I’ve had my fill of nonsense for one life.” “If he’s willing to treat people like animals, can you imagine what those poor Judges of Jacob’s have gone through? The only monster up here is him.” “After mucking around up here, you have to admit that Jess was right. None of these people deserve a second chance -- they have zero regard for human life.”
After Being Captured By Jacob
1st Encounter: “You… You don’t look good, Deputy. Maybe you should take some time to recover? Eli and the other members of the Resistance won’t do well if you just go and die on them.” 2nd Encounter: “You’re going to kill yourself if you keep pushing like this. It’s what Jacob wants, you realize that? Push you to edge and watch what happens when you have nothing else. Don’t listen. Take care of yourself. Take care of the Resistance.” Jacob’s Death: “That fucker deserved half of the decency you gave him… It’s… The Whitetails’ have lost so much. Through all of this. And they’re going to lose even more. I can feel it.”

AUvember Day 4 Voyager/Spy
This turned out a bit more heist than spy but it kinda works.  
“Coffee,” the red haired woman said, “Black,”
“Are you sure I can’t get you something more relaxing to drink?” the man behind the bar said, “A martini, perhaps?”
“I like to stay on full alert,” she said.
He raised his eyebrows. “Alright,” He went to pull out a cup and start the machine, “But I can promise it won’t be very good.”
“I’ll take my chances.”
He smiled, “If its all about chances, you should try your luck at the blackjack table,” he said, nodding across the room, “I hear the house is having an unlucky night.”
She looked down where he pointed. A thin black man was dealing cards, and clearly was losing to a pair of excited guests. “Well, then,” she said, “Why don’t I go and…make his night a little worse?”
He nodded, moving onto his next customer. She gave the tattoo around his eye one last glance before heading over and sitting beside the couple. “Oh, Kes, this is brilliant!” The overly fuzzy man said, “We’re going to be rich!”
“Maybe we should stop while we’re ahead,” the young woman said, “I don’t want to jinx anything.
“Oh, nonsense,” the man said as the dealer started dealing the cards, “Just a little longer.”
Kathryn couldn’t help smiling to herself. What an interesting couple. Too bad their luck was about to dramatically change. She placed her bet and asked to be hit, which the dealer did, gladly. A perfect 21 with 3 cards. Not bad.
She looked over at her neighbors. The man asked to be hit again. Upon seeing the card they both froze.
With their metaphorical tails tucked between their legs, the couple took the barest scrape of their winnings and left the table. Kathryn tried not to laugh. “A shame, that,” She said, “For their luck to turn so quickly.”
“Indeed,” the dealer, her old friend tuvok said, dealing another hand.
“I’ve never seen a casino owner tending his own bar,” Kathryn said, pointing her eyes over to the tattooed man she had just talked to.
“Mr. Chakotay is unique,” Tuvok said, “But not a fool, to be certain. He likes a hands-on approach with all aspects of his operation.”
“Well, a terrorist has to have a hobby. I suppose tending bar is as good as any.” Tuvok gave a short nod, and dealt an extra card into her hand. She picked it up quickly, looking at it and pretending she was considering her options.
On the code were hand-written (though with impeccable handwriting) notes with codes and times. “a gift for Mr. Kim,” Tuvok said.
“And its not even his birthday, he’ll be so pleased.” She looked around at the sound of the audience cheering. A singer had stepped on stage. Her singer.
Seven swept the audience. She was never the most subtle member of Kathryn’s team, but she had a good voice and a mind for numbers. She’d keep watch over the crowd and make sure nothing got in the way.
“There is one further problem,” Tuvok said, drawing her attention again. “The door is guarded by Chakotay’s right hand, an engineer who designed the vault. She’s also his head of security, and from what I’ve seen, has a ruthless temper.”
“Easily riled up?” Kathryn asked, “Well, lucky for us we have an expert Rile-r. Let me go get the face.”
“I thought he was still zero-zero-seven.”
Kathryn smirked, “Double-o seven. And seven of nine had problems with the nickname, so it got changed. She looked at her cards. An ace in her hand and a jack on the table. Tuvok was truly cruel. “I fold,” she said.
Back at one of the tables she found the last two men of her crew, watching seven’s performance. “Tom, Harry,” she greeted, sitting beside them.
Harry raised an eyebrow, “Should you be seen with us?” he asked.
“It’s fine,” she assured, “Besides, I make the calls. Tell me Tom, how flirtatious are you feeling tonight?”
Tom raised an eyebrow, “Flirtatious enough for anything, but you know my rules, cap, never someone I’m working for. I’ve been burned before.”
She rolled her eyes. “See the brown-aired woman by the door?” Tom gave her a quick glance. “Head of security. And I’m betting what we need to find is behind that door.”
Tom smirked. “She looks feisty. I like her already.”
Janeway slipped the card with codes to Kim. He took it and compared it to his phone, “Seems well enough in order. We’ll have 20 minutes from when the computers turn on. Hope the doc can work fast.”
“He always does,” Tom said, swigging his drink. “Hand him over, will you?”
Harry handed him the triangular device. “Go get ‘er tiger,” Kathryn encouraged.
He nodded and sidled his way up to the woman, “Hey, gorgeous,” he said, leaning up against the wall, “Come here often,”
“You’re honestly going to try a line that tired?” she said, “I don’t know whether to laugh or feel sorry,”
“Oh, I can do worse than that,” he said, “’whats a pretty thing like you doing in a place like this?’ or just the straightforward, ‘can I buy you a drink?’”
“I’m working, she told him, barely sparing a glance.”
“That’s why I didn’t offer a drink,” he said, “But you can still talk and work, can’t you? I’m honestly curious about what leads to a life of being a casino worker.”
“You make it sound like I’m a prostitute,” she said.
“I would never presume.” He said, “Though I’ve known a fair share of perfectly respectable prostitutes. You got a name.”
“Not one for you.”
He sighed, “Hey, I’m not trying to be rude or anything,” he put a hand on her shoulder, “I’m just trying to get to—whoa!”
Before he could do anything, she twisted his arm and planted his face in the floor. “When I let up, you will walk away and not speak to me again.” He nodded quickly. She let up and he stood.
“Mission accomplished,” he said, walking away, “The doctor is in.”
