You squint your eyes, furrowing your brows at the somewhat familiar surroundings that you’re able to recognise the minute you make a right turn, exiting the creepy, dark alley. Apparently, your GPS decided that instead of using the main road, it’d rather you take weird, illegal turns through various alleys in order to get to your destination. Your car comes to a slow stop as you gradually step down on the brake. “You have arrived at your destination. Your destination will be on your right,” the GPS says. You shift your gear to park, pulling up the handbrake.
With both hands still holding on to your steering wheel, you lean your body forward, the well-lit, grand-looking building coming into full view. You watch as the doorman and bellboys scramble to serve the incoming customer. You’d be living in a cave if you’ve never heard of the five-star hotel that is owned by one of the biggest corporations in your state – Lee Family Co. As you continue to stare at the bellboy who is rushing to get the customer’s baggage onto his cart, you wonder why you’d forbid yourself from visiting this place. Honestly, you wouldn’t even be seen within a ten-mile radius of the hotel had you not written its co-ordinates in your letter.
You mentally curse at yourself – you’re too curious for your own good.
Slinging your bag across your body, you step out of your car. You have to strain your neck to be able to see the luxury hotel in its entirety, the yellow lighting only making the building appear even more golden than the gold poles that are used in its exterior design. How are you supposed to know the reason behind why you shouldn’t visit Lee Family Hotel, if you don’t even know what you’re here for?
You’re too caught up in your own thoughts that you fail to notice the presence that is looming behind you. Before you’re able to spot the shadow’s reflection in your car window, the shadow wraps an arm around your body, holding you in place. Swiftly, he brings his other hand over your nose and mouth, the cloth in the shadow’s hand that is soaked with the sweet smell of chloroform intoxicating you. You dig your nails into the flesh of the shadow, your restrained screams failing to catch the attention of potential saviours.
Your eyelids only get heavier.
You’ve blacked out.

#this was good#fanfic#i like that jen took what i said into serious consideration#i was definitely entertained & by no means am i saying its too short or anything#i do feel like it was kinda rushed in aspects like as far as what the gang entails or the development of the romance aspect of the genre#i just feel like i read a ‘skimmed version’ of the story instead of the actual whole thing#like they were excerpts or smth..#like how did the phone number exchange happen? how did he know my apartment complex..the convos/scenes for those id like to have seen#since he took me home from the cafe how did i get back to get my car the next time and when?#or maybe some more info about the vineyard or something?#what was the item he thinks was stolen? did the fact that yeri is pining for him apparently ever get addressed?#what even happened to her? was killed at the shooting (which is basically killing a socialite or smth i guess since her dads a big deal?)#he gave up the truth behind their illegal activities super quickly w/o vetting me to make sure i wouldnt tell the cops#what kind if sweets were they that he got me? He didnt ask what i was doing at the arcade alone or anything he just showed up at my car#where did i go from the arcade that gave him time to ditch his friends go to get me sweets and still beat me to my car#those are the kind of details or things i would have wanted to see more of since i do actually wonder them#it should also be labled as ‘ jeno x o/c’ OR ‘jeno x asian female reader’...im bothered a bit that it isnt bc if smth says ‘female reader’#it needs to be applicable to all female readers. labels are important. bc saying i look enough like yerim to be mistakenly kidnapped in her#place implies clearly that i am asian (which i am very much not). its not relatable to me & doing that was basically the same as talking abt#if the fact that it isnt relatable to non asian readers is changed i may consider reading the other installments when they come out if i did#happen to come across it but otherwise..if it isnt inclusive............well you guys know i rant abt nctzen writers excluding darker fans#literally no less than once a week so you know how i feel abt this kind of thing. i wont block bc at least looking like her was relevant to#the plot as opposed to just mentioning red cheeks for thr hell of it but still correct labels matter#im specifying nctzens bc i read nct fanfics#before someone asks why i only ever talk about nctzens and not my other fandoms;; i dont read bts or exo fics so i wouldnt know#fanfic problems#black girl problems#if it says o/c it implies(& is ok that) the character has specific traits(personality &/or physical) & it doesnt have to be inclusive but#it isnt fair to us to think we’ll be able to envision ourself in the role to be lead to believe that & then get jarred outta ‘you’mode after#we get invested or start reading..its disappointing
