Summary: Jeonghan enjoyed the finer things in life. What Jeonghan could buy, Jeonghan would get. When you walk in he wonders if money can’t buy every fine thing in life. 

Fine things. He got everything fine his eyes laid on. He dressed in the finest silks and bathed in rose water. The shops he went to were only high end designer brands and he ate at only five star restaurants. There wasn’t a luxury Jeonghan had not explored. He was the epitome of what many human beings craved to be.

Jeonghan had draped himself over a velvet chase in the back corner of the elite gambling club. He sipped his wine and watched the men argue back and forth. It would be only a matter of minutes before he stepped in and claimed his prize. The pot was in the high hundred thousands at the moment but that wasn’t enough for him. He needed something a little higher to meet his standards.

He had made almost all of his money this way. The men in the casinos and bars never looked twice when Jeonghan took their money. They all believed he was just an excellent card player. If only they knew how good a con artist he was. Casinos were where he made a majority of his money but he sometimes made it with more questionable methods. He was not opposed to being an escort or a fake date, as long as it made him enough money.

“You’re telling me you’re not cheating!” Seungcheol, a main member of the secluded club, cried. He was always one for accusations but never once had he accused Jeonghan. Jeonghan assumed it was because he too had fallen for his charms and sultry looks.

“Get your head out of your ass Cheol,” Minghao, a gambler who’s skills Jeonghan admired, grumbled. Out of all the gamblers who were regulars at the club, Jeonghan was the most weary of Minghao. Minghao was always weary of everyone in the club and had once came close to exposing Jeonghan.

Junhui laughed at the pair arguing and checked, “You both act like such toddlers.”

“You’re one to talk Jun. You cry everytime you lose!” Mingyu yelled.

“He’s basically saying you cry every time we meet,” Minghao stated and looked at his cards.

Jeonghan listened to clinking of the chips against the table and decided the pot had been filled enough for him.

Letting out a yawn, Jeonghan spoke up, “You all are a bunch of bitches.”

“Ah Jeonghan!” Joshua laughed from behind the bar, “I forgot you were even here!”

“I was tired of listening to them whine,” Jeonghan remarked and ruffled his hair with one hand.

Minghao rolled his eyes and tossed several chips into the growing pile, “Your whining is right up their with Junhui’s”

“Or Seungkwan when he plays.” Junhui nodded in agreement and checked against the table again.

Jeonghan laughed and stood up from where he was laid, “I don’t believe anyone could beat Seungkwan’s complaining.”

“Last week you were very close to beating him for most annoying member,” Seungcheol remarked.

Jeonghan shook his head with a laugh and swaggered up to the table. It was so easy to gain their trust and to blend in. This place was his favorite because it meant he could make easy money. A high sum of easy money.

“Deal me in Hao,” Jeonghan stated as he plopped down in his usual chair. He was surprised no one ever bothered to switch spots. It was because of this that he could so easily win. The groups stupidity and blind trust in him was what kept his secret safe.

“Ah the God has awoken from his cat nap to come and kick our asses,” Minghao laughed and dealed him his cards. The boys were in good spirits and it made Jeonghan smile though the sum of money in the pot made his smile a little wider. They were very into gambling tonight.

Mingyu laughed and laid down a full house, “He’s going to have to try a little harder tonight.”

“And why is that?” Jeonghan questioned and watched as Mingyu collected the pot.

“There’s a newcomer tonight,” Seungcheol said and waited for the card to be laid down for the next round. “It’s rumor she’s never lost a match.”

“I’ve also heard a rumor that she is hot,” Junhui laughed and sipped on his burbon.

Jeonghan shook his head and watched as joker was laid down on the table. “Of course that is what you focus on Junhui.”

“Are you calling me shallow?”

“Yeah, that’s exactly what he’s calling you.” Minghao said and folded, sliding his dead cards towards the dealer.

Junhui cackled and checked, “Well you boys aren’t wrong.”

Jeonghan smiled and downed the rest of his wine, “And when is the mystery woman showing up?”

As if on cue, the doors to the closed off room were thrown open. All eyes turned to watch as a woman walked through the mahogany doors like she owned the place. Jeonghan would be lying if he didn’t think you were exquisite. Adorned in a velvet dress and the shiniest silver jewelry, he knew he wanted you along with the prize money.

“Hello boys,” you greeted in a sultry manner and Jeonghan smirked. His evening of conning had taken a delightful turn.

“I’m glad you could make it Y/N!” Joshua, the ever cheery bartender greeted and Y/N smiled back at him.

“You’ve told me such stories about this club.” you said and ran your eyes along the men at the table. When you met Jeonghan’s eyes they lingered for a second. “I had to see about it for myself.”

Jeonghan sent you a little smile that made people fall in love with him. Y/N flashed the exact same smile his way and made his heart stop. Even the most stoic of people would get flustered when he smiled at them like that.

“You talk a big game Y/N,” Junhui remarked and threw down a four of a kind, beating everyone out for the pot.

Y/N smirked and took the seat directly across from Jeonghan, a move no one else ever made. “I should. I’ve never lost a game and I don’t plan too.”

“Well neither have I.” Jeonghan said and watched for a reaction. The only thing he could notice was the way your eyes lit up with excitement.

“Then this should certainly be promising.” You said and grabbed the cards the dealer had handed you. Jeonghan watched as not a flicker of emotion washed over your features. Just from the way you held yourself he could tell you were someone of experience. Poker was a game skill but it was also a game of luck and Jeonghan knew exactly how to manipulate luck.

Minghao chuckled and folded, “You all are so cocky. It’s amusing.”

“What would you rather have?” You purred in his direction causing the usual stoic man to become shocked, “Do you want me to be shy? I could do shy.”

“I-er… no you’re fine.” Minghao muttered and Jeonghan laughed and laid down a straight flush.

“I like you Y/N. No one gets Hao this flustered,” He said and watched as you laid down your cards. A royal house, the only hand that could have beaten his own.

“I think you’ll be rather flustered at the end of this too,” You smiled sweetly and collected the earnings of the pot. The men around the table laughed and Jeonghan gave you an amused look in which you replied with a small smile. He knew exactly why you hadn’t lost.

The rounds went on and on. It was mainly back and forth between Jeonghan and you. Junhui was out within several rounds from playing too eagerly. Seungcheol was the next out as he had to leave and decided it would be best to go all in rather than let Junhui continue on for him. Mingyu was out soon after that. He stated it was no fun having only Jeonghan and you win all the pots. It was not like Mingyu was in the line to win either. Minghao had held out the longest but even he had run dry.

“This is it,” Minghao sighed and laid down a straight to which Y/N promptly laid down a flush.

“And the pot is mine,” Jeonghan chuckled and set a straight flush on the table. Minghao huffed and slid the rather large pot towards Jeonghan. Between you and him, there was a large sum of money. It just mattered who was more daring to fully secure it.

“How about this Jeonghan,” He loved the way his name rolled off your tongue, “How about an all in?”

Jeonghan smirked and took a sip of his wine, wondering what you were up too. “And why would I do that?”

“It’s late and I want to go home with my prize,” You said but there was a slight hint that you didn’t mean the money. Jeonghan took one look in your eyes and it had his mind spinning.

“Fine, all in.” He nodded and pushed his chips towards the center of the table. You smiled in a childish way and pushed all your chips to be in the center as well. The dealer at the head of the table handed out the cards and a smile appeared on both Jeonghan and yours face. The men around the table leaned forward, wondering what could get both of you so excited. Cards were laid out on the table one by one and Jeonghan watched delight trace over you features as you laid down your final hand.

“Well,” Jeonghan laughed and threw his cards onto the tabletop, “I’ll be damned.”

Your royal flush beat his straight flush and anything he had up his sleeve. It was obviously something you had been saving not just luck of the draw. No game ever ended like that.

“Good game Jeonghan. I’ve never met another player quite like you,” You smiled and gratefully accepted the cash the dealer was handing you. That much money could have paid for the new car Jeonghan wanted, but he believed there was a much better prize than a car. Jeonghan stood and gave you a little nod of appreciation.

“Neither have I,” He smirked and headed for the door. He snuck a glance back at you with a promise in his eyes that he knew you noticed. The casino was in full blast as he walked threw leisurely. The familiar smoke in the air filled his lungs as well as the tang of alcohol. His steps lead him to another secluded part of the casino, right besides the empty poker tables.

“You’re a rather good con man.” Your sultry voice poked through the loud atmosphere of the casino. He felt your hand sneak up the length of his arm and come to rest on his shoulder.

“You’re a rather great con woman.” He smirked and watched as you came into his view. A smile was on your face and he thought it was fantastic.

“I’ve only been at it for several years. I should be great at this point.” You remarked and he fully smiled slowly snaking an arm around your waist. He loved how alive you made him feel. It had only been a few hours but he had never felt this much energy, especially not with other lovers.

“I thought I was pretty great,” He said and leaned in so his forehead lightly touched yours.

Your eyes stared into his with a wild look, “But then I came a long.”

“But then you came along,” He repeated and looked down at your lips. He made sure it was obvious enough for you to notice. It was and you gave a little nod before he crashed his lips onto yours. The new passion you both had was evident throughout the kiss and it made him smile. Your kiss was just as he imagined it to be. In all his life Jeonghan had never felt something like this. He almost believed you were conning his heart. Jeonghan believed he could never find a finer thing than you.
