warnings: SMUTTTT.

i really don't know what to say. this is the first ever smut i've written, i hope i did it justice. longer than what i expected it to be.

NOT proof-read!!!

the distant hum of strained whispers and restless shuffling filled the dorm, a constant reminder of the stakes you were all under. amid the sea of desperation, your eyes found kang dae-ho—player 388.

he sat with his back against a bunk post, his broad shoulders relaxed yet alert, like he was still on duty. his jawline was sharp, his expression unreadable, and his body language exuded confidence—until your gaze lingered too long.

he noticed. his composure faltered for the briefest moment, his dark eyes flicking to yours before darting away, a faint flush creeping up his neck.

you stood, curiosity and something deeper urging you toward him. “dae-ho,” you said as you stopped in front of him.

he glanced up, his lips quirking into a polite smile. “you shouldn’t sneak up on a marine,” he teased, his voice low and smooth.

“wasn’t sneaking,” you replied, matching his tone as you crouched to his level. “you just weren’t paying attention.”

his chuckle was soft, a little strained. “maybe you’re too distracting,” he said, surprising both himself and you.

you raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at your lips. “is that so?”

he cleared his throat, visibly pulling himself back into his composed shell. “what do you need?”

“maybe i just wanted to sit here with you,” you said, tilting your head. “you mind?”

his hesitation was subtle but there. “suit yourself,” he murmured, scooting slightly to give you space beside him.

you settled in, the heat of his body radiating close. “you always so serious?” you teased gently, glancing at his sharp profile.

“it’s the marine in me,” he said with a faint smile. “serious is second nature.”

“and the blushing?” you asked, leaning in just a little.

his eyes snapped to yours, his cheeks darkening. “i don’t blush,” he said, a bit too quickly.

you grinned. “sure, you don’t.”

he huffed a soft laugh, shaking his head, and you could see his armor slipping. this wasn’t the marine talking now—this was just dae-ho, a man trying to keep himself together in impossible circumstances.

“you’re trouble, you know that?” he said, glancing sideways at you.

“i’ve been told,” you said, letting your shoulder bump his lightly.

he stiffened at the contact but didn’t pull away. emboldened, you let your hand rest on his thigh, a casual yet deliberate move.

his breath hitched. “you’re—”

“trouble,” you finished for him, leaning in just enough that your lips brushed his ear as you spoke.

his jaw tightened, and his hand reflexively covered yours, trapping it against his thigh. his grip was firm, warm, and the callouses on his palm sent a shiver through you.

“you think this is a good idea?” he asked, his voice lower now, tinged with a nervous edge.

“i think,” you said, turning your face so your lips hovered near his, “that you want this as much as i do.”

his dark eyes locked with yours, searching your face as though testing your resolve. his confidence as a marine battled with his shyness in this unfamiliar kind of vulnerability.

then, he closed the distance.

the kiss was slow at first, tentative, his lips warm and firm against yours. but when you sighed into it, his hesitation melted. his free hand slid to your waist, pulling you closer with a controlled strength that made your pulse race.

“you’re gonna get me in trouble,” he murmured against your lips, though his grip on you only tightened.

“you’re already in trouble,” you whispered back, threading your fingers through his short, dark hair.

he chuckled, a soft, breathy sound that sent warmth pooling in your pussy. his shyness lingered in the way he paused between kisses, as though still wrapping his head around the situation, but his touches were confident, deliberate.

his hand starts trailing from your waist to my ass, squeezing it as you let out a soft moan. as much as you are enjoying this, you needed more privacy. your voyuerism kink was begging you to let him fuck you right there and then, but something held you back.

"w-we should go to the bathroom." you whisper to him. without another word, he gets up, dragging you by the hand to the door where a guard stood.

"we need to use the bathroom." dae-ho told the guard.

"it's late, get back to your bunks. use it in the morning." the guard informed us.

"i swear to God, if you don't let us use the bathrooms right now! i'm a woman for fucks sake, how fucking dare you! my rights as a woman are being absolutely ignored, it's a medical emergen-"

the guard hastily opened the door towards the bathroom, not saying another word. "...thank you... yea thank you, as you should, gosh!" you finished, as you quickly got in front of dae-ho and dragged him into the women's bathroom.

as soon as we got inside, you turned around and smashed your lips onto him. he quickly pushed you into an empty stall and closed the door behind you. he pinned you against the wall and began to kiss you back just as eagerly as you were. his hands started to roam over your body as his kisses started to move to your neck.

as he kissed your neck, he started to bite and nibble at your skin, as hands wandered all over your body, wanting to touch every part of you. he grabbed your ass and gave it a hard squeeze as he pressed himself up against you. you could feel him pressing against you and you let out a whine, while you could hear him let out a stifled moan into your neck. his hands moved to your waist, wanting to tug at your shirt and slide his hands under to touch your skin and those tits that he has been day-dreaming about.

his hands roamed everywhere, from your back to your ass, to your stomach, caressing every inch of you. he started to tug at the bottom of your shirt, wanting it off. you helped him, slipping off your unzipped jacket and shirt, and tossing it aside. he started to kiss his way down your body, kissing and biting your skin as he went.

as dae-ho's lips trailed down your body, his calloused hands explored every curve with a mic of reverence and hunger. he paused at your bra, fingers hesitating at the clasp. "may i?" he whispered, his voice husky with desire.

you nodded, breath catching as he deftly unhooked your bra, letting it fall to the ground. his eyes darkened as he took in the sight of your bare breasts, nipples hardening under his intense gaze. "fuck," he breathed, "you're so gorgeous."

without warning, he dipped his head, taking one nipple into his mouth. his tongue swirled around the sensitive bud, teeth grazing lightly as his hand kneaded your other breast. you arched into him, a soft moan escaping your lips.

his free hand slid down your stomach, fingers dipping beneath the waistband of your pants. he paused, looking up at you with a question in his eyes. "is this okay?"

"fuck, yes," you gasped, hips bucking slightly against his hand. He smirked, a flash of confidence breaking through his usual stoic but timid demeanor.

dae-ho's fingers slipped beneath your waistband, teasing along your lower abdomen. his touch was electric, sending shivers through your body as he slowly, torturously, inched lower. "fuck, you're so wet," he growled, his fingers finally reaching your slick folds. he ran a finger along your slit, gathering your arousal before circling your clit. you gasped, hips jerking at the sensation.

dae-ho's mouth returned to your breast, tongue laving over your nipple as his fingers worked between your legs. he slipped one finger inside you, then another, curling them to hit that spot that made you see stars. "ah, fuck, d-dae-ho," you moaned, clutching at his shoulders. "please, i need more."

he lifted his head, dark eyes meeting yours. "tell me what you want," he said, voice low and husky. "i want to hear you say it, princess"

you swallowed hard, arousal and anticipation making you bold. "i want your cock," you breathed. "i want you to fuck me until i can't remember my own name."

a groan rumbled in his chest. "fuck, you can't just say things like that," his dick was throbbing at this point. "you don't care that guard is outside the door, you want this, don't you? you're such a little slut for me. want me to fuck your brains out? i'll give you what you want."

without warning, he spun you around, pressing your chest against the cold tile wall. his hands roamed your body, caressing your curves before settling on your hips. you could feel the heat of his body against your back, his breath hot on your neck. "you want my cock?" he growled, grinding his erection against your ass, "then you're gonna get it, baby."

his fingers hooked into the waistband of your pants, tugging them down along with your underwear in one swift motion. the cool air hit your exposed skin, making you shiver. dae-ho's hand slid between your legs, fingers teasing your slick folds. "fuck, you're so wet for me," he groaned, slipping two fingers inside you. he pumped them slowly, curling them to hit that spot that made your knees weak. "you like that, don't you? like feeling my fingers inside your tight little pussy?"

you moaned in response, pushing back against his hand. "please, dae-ho," you whimpered. "i need more." he chuckled, a low, throaty sound that sent shivers down your spine. "patience, baby. i'm gonna make you feel so good."

dae-ho's fingers continued their torturous rhythm, pumping into you at a steady pace. his thumb found your clit, circling the sensitive nub, adding another layer of sensation, making you moan and whine so loud. "fuck, you're so responsive," he breathed, nibbling at your earlobe. "i love hearing the sounds you make."

he scissored his fingers, stretching you as he prepared you for his cock. you could feel it, hard and hot against your ass, twitching with each noise you made. "you have no idea how long i've wanted this," he groaned, fingers twisting inside you. "to have you, all to myself. to make you mine."

the thought of belonging to dae-ho, of being claimed by him, sent a fresh wave of arousal through you. you rocked back against his hand, seeking more friction. "please," you whimpered, "i need you. stop teasing me."

dae-ho needed no further encouragement. he withdrew his fingers, making you whine at the loss, but quickly turned you back around and replaced his fingers with the blunt head of his cock. he rubbed it up and down your slit, coating it in your arousal before positioning it at your entrance. "ready, baby?" he asked, voice tight with restraint. at your nod, he pushed inside, filling you in one smooth thrust.

you cried out at the sensation, your back arching off the wall. he felt so big, stretching you deliciously as he buried himself to the hilt. "fuck, you're tight,"he groaned, giving you a moment to adjust. you clenched around him instinctively, earning a low curse. "fuckk, i'm gonna make you feel so good. gonna fuck this sweet little pussy till you forget everything but my name. i want you screaming my name with that pretty voice you have"

dae-ho set a punishing pace, his hips snapping against yours as he pounded into your tight heat. you were lost in the pleasure, every thrust sending you closer to the edge. "fuck, dae-ho," you moaned, clenching around him."you feel so good."

he groaned, the sound low and guttural. "i need you closer," he grunted, slowing his thrusts. "wrap your legs around me, baby. wanna feel all of you." he pulled out, turning you around to face him. his eyes were dark with lust, pupils blown wide. "jump," he ordered, lifting you easily. you obligied, wrapping your legs around his waist as he held you up effortlessly against the wall.

and then he was moving again, thrusting up into you with abandon.

the change in position allowed dae-ho to go deeper, hitting that spot inside you with every snap of his hips. "ahh fuck, yes!" you cried, fingers digging into his shoulders.

he captured your mouth in a searing kiss, tongue delving between your lips as he continued to pound into you. you met him thrust for thrust, your bodies moving in perfect sync. the pleasure built, coiling tighter and tighter in your core. you could feel your climax approaching, your walls starting to flutter around his cock. "fuck, i'm close," you whimpered against his mouth.

"that's it, baby," dae-ho encouraged, his voice strained. "let go. wanna feel you cum on my cock." dae-ho's words sent you over the edge. your orgasm crashed over you, wave after wave of ecstasy coursing through your body. you cried out his name, clinging to him as you trembled and convulsed around his still-thrusting cock. "fuck yes, just like that," he grunted, burying his face in your neck as he chased his own release.

he thrust erratically, losing his rhythm as he neared the brink. with a final, powerful snap of his hips, he came hard, spilling deep inside you with a hoarse shout. you could feel each pulse of his cock, the sensation sending after-shocks through your sensitive body.

he held you close, still buried inside you, as you both struggled to catch your breath. kisses were peppered along your jawline, your neck, your shoulder... gentle, almost reverent, in the aftermath of your passion.

eventually, he lifted his head, gazing at you with a mix of satisfaction and lingering desire. his softening cock slipped out of you, and he slowly lowered your shaky legs to the ground, keeping a firm grip on your waist to steady you.

"are you alright?" he asked, smoothing your damp hair back from your face. "did i hurt you?"

you shook your head, unable to suppress a blissful smile. "no," you murmured. "that was...incredible."

he huffed a soft laugh, pressing his forehead to yours. "you're incredible," he corrected, voice rough with emotion. "i've never felt anything like that before. "he kissed you then, slow and deep, putting all his feelings into the embrace. when he finally pulled away, you could see the vulnerability in his eyes, the tender look that graced the ex-marine's features.

"what happens now?"

you smiled softly, running your fingers through his sweat-dampened hair. "now?"you murmured. "now we get cleaned up, and go back to the bunks before someone misses us and comes looking."

dae-ho chuckled, nodding in agreement. "as much as i'd love to stay here with you all night, you're right." he pressed one more lingering kiss to your lips before reaching for your discarded clothes, handing them to you one by one. once you were both dressed, he tugged you close, resting his chin on top of your head.

"wanna sleep with me tonight?"

dae-ho studied you for a long moment before nodding slowly, a small but genuine smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "okay," he agreed softly. "i'd like that."

hand in hand, you snuck back to the dorm, slipping quietly into dae-ho's bunk just as the others were settling down for the night. you huddled together under the thin blanket, your bodies close but your touches chaste. this night had been intense, but for now, all you wanted was to be near him.

"good night, mr. marine."

"good night, mrs. marine's trouble."

as you drifted off to sleep in his arms, you couldn't help but smile. you weren't sure what tomorrow would bring, or where this new development would take you. but for now, you were happy. happy, and safe, and exactly where you were meant to be.

but how quickly could this all change?

Want You So Bad

Dae-ho/number 388 x fem!reader

(MDNI)

A/N: No thoughts, just Dae-ho. I thought these anon asks worked well together so I’ve combined them into one. I hope this is what you guys wanted, and apologies for my poorly written smut lol. (Also apologies if the Korean isn’t correct, copied it from a romanised version on Google) Feedback is appreciated :)

Standing on the turning floor, your vision is going dizzy and your stomach is churning. There’s blood everywhere, and you’re trying not to think about all the people who were killed in the last round. You almost didn’t make it. But you got lucky. Mainly because of the man standing next to you.

You look to your left, Dae ho’s side profile devoid of any emotions. You’d only known each other for a couple of days (at least that’s what you thought. Time in here is weird) but you’d already grown close. Closer than you expected to with anyone in this nightmare fuelled place. But you trusted him the most. And he’d also saved your life during red light green light.

He finally feels your stare and turns to look at you. He smiles slightly. “You okay?”

He knows you’re not, but you smile back either way. “Yeah.”

The floor suddenly stops moving, and the lights dim. The group prepare for their next number.

“Five.”

Chaos ensues, as everyone begins to panic, grabbing and pulling, hoping they have the right amount of people. Dae ho holds your hand, as he quickly follows Gi hun, and two other people you’re yet to know the names of. You run as fast as you can, trying to find an available room.

Just as you’re about to make it to one of the doors, someone slams into you hard, knocking you off your feet and losing Dae ho’s firm grip.

“Y/N!” You hear him exclaim, before completely losing sight of him and the others.

The thought of dying consumes you as reality sets in. You feel like screaming and throwing up the little food they’d given you last night. Before you have the chance, strong arms lift you up and drag you to an open door. Getting a grip on your footing, you rush into the room, just as the timer runs out. The door locks and gunshot can be heard from outside your safe space.

Breathing heavily, you feel a soft touch on your back, rubbing up and down.

“Are you alright?”

You glance to the side, the number ‘333’ catching your attention first. You look up to be met by the kind eyes of your saviour. You nod rapidly, still trying to catch your breath.

“You saved my life,” is the only thing you can say.

He laughs halfheartedly. “You sort of saved ours too.”

You stand up to your full height, remembering the other people in the room with you. You quickly thank them as well and they nod.

“I’m Myung gi by the way,” player 333 says.

“Y/N,” you reply, smiling at each other.

The door unlocks as everyone slowly makes their way out. As you leave the room, yelling can be heard from across the room. It’s Dae ho. You see him push a player you don’t recognise up against the wall, as he continues screaming in their face.

“She’s dead because of you!”

You rush over, hoping to stop this before it turns into a full blown fist fight.

“Dae ho!” You call out.

He stops what he’s doing and frantically searches for you. Your eyes meet, and he lets the player go, running over to meet you halfway. He throws his arms around your waist, shocking you briefly, but also wrapping your arms around his shoulders. He squeezes you tight, his face buried in your neck.

“I’m okay,” you whisper. “I’m fine.”

Dae ho pulls away and holds you at arms length. “I thought they killed you. I just… what happened?”

You feel a presence behind you, and turn to find Myung gi standing awkwardly a few steps behind. You nod at him to come closer, taking him by the arm. Dae ho flinches slightly at the motion.

“I was a goner, had it not been for my knight in shining armour here grabbing and saving me.”

Myung gi laughs at the nickname you give him. “Don’t sell yourself short. We saved each other really.”

You continue smiling at each other, all the while Dae ho watches the sickly sweet interaction. Weird feelings bubble up in his stomach, one of relief but another of petty jealousy. He tries to brush it off, as he nods at the man standing next to you.

The game continues on for a couple more rounds, until you figure out there’s only one more to go. 126 players. 50 doors. That means only 2 people per room. You’re standing in between Dae ho and Myung gi, finding it hard to breathe.

The floor stops moving, and the number is called.

“Two.”

Both of the men on either side of you reach out at the same time to take your hand. Myung gi is faster, as he links your fingers with his and rushes towards the door in front of you. You stumble behind him, looking back and seeing Dae ho watching on like a kicked puppy. Thankfully someone grabs him as they too head for an empty room, his sad expression imprinted in your mind.

- - -

Night rolls around, and Dae ho finds it hard to fall asleep. After the last round of Mingle, Myung gi didn’t leave your side once. He seemed eager to know more about you, where you were from, and why you chose to be apart of the game. Dae ho knows it’s wrong to feel jealous. After all, he’d only known you for two days, and most of that time is spent either sleeping or trying not to be killed.

Yet it bothers him to no end. It bothered him when you two hugged at the end of Mingle. It bothered him when you two shared food with each other. It bothered him when Myung gi asked if he could sleep closer to you tonight. It shouldn’t. But it did.

Dae ho feels himself almost drift off into a deep sleep, when he hears scuffling to his right. You’re slowly getting up, rubbing your eyes and hobbling to the front of the large room. His eyes follow your every move, as you knock on the door to where the toilets are. A guard appears and after some brief back and forth, opens the door and allows you to enter.

He lies back down. You still run through his mind.

“Fuck it.”

Dae ho crawls out from under the bed and speed walks over to the door. He knocks and makes the excuse that he needs a piss. Another back and forth with the less than happy guard, but once again the door opens and he walks through.

He makes his way up the stairs and, making sure the guard isn’t paying attention, heads for the women’s bathroom. He walks in, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable and stupid. What’s the plan? Profess your love to a stranger you just met and how you can’t stand the thought of them being with anyone else? Dae ho knows you’ll tell him he’s gone mad. And maybe it’s not love. Something more intense. Something more primal. There’s only one way of finding out.

The flush of a toilet sounds as you walk out of one of the stalls, jumping slightly when you spot Dae ho by the sinks.

“Shit. You scared me.”

“Sorry.”

You walk over and stand by his side, washing your hands thoroughly, as he waits in silence.

After you’ve finished, he decides to speak up. “So, you’re getting on well with player 333?”

“Myung gi,” you respond. Dae ho doesn’t care for learning his name. “And yeah, he doesn’t really have anyone else in here to talk to and I don’t mind the company.”

He nods as you continue talking, leaning next to him on the sinks. “He also saved my life in the last game, so there’s no way I’m abandoning him now.”

Dae ho tries not to rolls his eyes, but can’t stop himself from huffing like a child. “I saved your life too but nah let’s put him on a pedestal,” he mumbles under his breath.

Unfortunately you hear what he says, sending him a puzzled look. “Do you have a problem with Myung gi?”

Dae ho stares at you, wondering how to respond. He doesn’t want to sound like a possessive, overprotective boyfriend, because he isn’t one. But he also knows it’s getting harder and harder to hide his brewing feelings for you.

“Nothing I just,” he huffs again. “I feel like you’re gonna wanna spend more time with him instead of me.”

You laugh, shocking him slightly, as you move to stand in front of him. “So just because I’ve made a new friend means I have to ditch you?”

Dae ho shrugs, feeling embarrassed and incredibly dumb.

You poke him softly in the stomach. “I like you. I wanna get to know you better. Hopefully outside of this hellhole.”

He laughs along with you now, staring deeply into your eyes. “I like you too.”

The air around you suddenly feels hot, a tension you didn’t realise was there until now. You move closer, testing the waters, and thankfully Dae ho does the same thing. One second more, and your lips lock in a passionated, heated kiss. Dae ho grips your hips hard while you run your fingers through his hair.

“Wait,” you say through the kiss. “What if one of the guards comes in?”

Dae ho shakes his head vigorously. “They don’t care. We could be killing each other in here and they wouldn’t stop us.”

“Romantic,” you reply sarcastically, as he moves to kiss your neck.

You moan, feeling your back press against the wall. Even though the guards don’t care what goes on in here, you know they’ll start to question why you’re taking so long. So, as you continue kissing Dae ho, you reach for his pants and pull them down slightly. He’s shocked at first, then quickly catches on to what you’re doing and pulls yours down a little bit too.

“Are you sure,” Dae ho tries to catch his breath. “You wanna do this?”

“I’m not stopping now.”

He lifts you up spreading your legs to wrap around his waist. You feel him push into you slowly, eliciting a gasp from your mouth. His thrusts amp up as he fills you entirely. Your make out session goes interrupted, as beads of sweat form on your skin, the taste of salt landing on your tongues.

You’re about to scream his name, when a bang on the entrance door stops you both in your tracks.

A deep voice booms from the other side. “What’s taking you so long in there?”

Dae ho puts you down on the floor, clumsily pulling his pants back up around his waist as you do the same. You’re both breathless, hair a mess and lips swollen.

“Almost done!” Dae ho calls out, not thinking of how the guard will react to him being in the women’s bathroom.

He turns to you, kissing you briefly on the lips. “We’re not finished here.”

For the first time since you came here, you couldn’t wait for another night.

Kang Dae-Ho/Player 388

He’s a cutie pie, I love his hair, I NEED to make him whimper while I edge him till he can’t take it anymore

[kaissatou]

hii i just love any kind of dae ho or nam gyu smut lol!! i have no preferences i just very much am in love with these characters haha! thank u so so much i love ur writing!!!!

daeho as your boyfriend ♡

18+ under the cut .*･｡ﾟnamgyu ver here

Boyfriend!Daeho who is sososo clingy with you, always keeping a comforting hand on you & always ready to give you the most comforting bear hug at aaaalll times!! If he can’t keep he’s hands snug around your waist, he’ll make do with intertwined fingers, he thinks :(

Boyfriend!Daeho, who if your anything like me, (5’0) practically towers over you. He absolutely loves the height difference between you, but not in a teasing way! He just loves to be able to engulf your shorter frame within his own.

Boyfriend!Daeho who would also absolutely looove if you were taller, gazing at you as if you had hung the stars for him. Though when you’re hugging he’s still pick you up ^.^ he can’t help it!!

Boyfriend!Daeho who typically runs hot, like a living furnace. He becomes very whiny in the summer when you detangle his limbs from your own in the night, complaining he’s ’too hot.’ It doesn’t make a difference, because he’s pulling you back 2 mins later, silencing your sighs with a quick peck before gently tugging your head back down to its place on his chest.

Boyfriend!Daeho to me is SUCH a pleasure dom, his main goal being to please you ♡ though most of the time he’ll overstimulate himself in the process ^.^

From him being a marine, I head-cannon him to have preeeetty high stamina- meaning he can last a couple rounds without needing a break. However, if you’re still not satiated he’ll completely ignore his exhaustion for you.

We know he’s a yapper already, so when he gets pussy drunk he just rambles on about how good your doing f’me and just one more, baby, wanna make you feel so good- he’s a talker during sex, if you hadn’t figured. Linking back to how he overstimulates himself, you only realise due to his face being tucked into your neck, only clocking it when his rambles turn messy, and then into even messier whines and moans.

Boyfriend!Daeho who loves when you ride him, through you’re not doing much of the work, just sitting there and looking pretty for him, like he asked. He doesn’t want you to tire yourself out. That’s his job. He’ll control your movements, sloppy as he lifts your hips up only to drop them back down onto his messy cock, grunts escaping his lips of how good you’re doing.

Boyfriend!Daeho who is packing. When your jaw drops the first time you ever see his pretty dick, he’s automatically confused- he thought he was average? Your expression says otherwise. Boyfriend!Daeho who prepares you for him by eating you out like his last meal on earth, kissing your pretty little puffy clit until you cum on his tongue at least twice.

And when he thinks he’s prepared you enough, it’s still not enough to ease the shock from the biiiig stretch, his soothing words (although sweet), not doing much to ease your mind as he slowly slides in your gooey walls. Is it even halfway yet?

Boyfriend!Daeho whose mind goes blank the first time he gets the pleasure of bottoming out inside of you, his brain short circuiting. Oh, he’s rambling again. But you feel oh so good, so warm and hot, so sticky-

Boyfriend!Daeho who’s out like a light after aftercare, quiet snores as he holds you tightly in his arms, your face still feeling the pretty peppers of his kisses, your pussy still feeling the emptiness from his cock. He’ll make it up to you tomorrow. ♡

WORD COUNT:2,15k!

NEXT PART..

MASTERLIST

The debt was passed to you when eventually one of your only remaining family members were missing.

It was always because that family member always had to go to loan sharks, to get money, and to use for what? The common answer: Gambling.

The debt that was passed to you was... 320 million won.

Your dad, when he was alive.. you were inspired by him, after all, he was in the ROK Airforce before.

You wanted to be like him, but he didnt want that for you, you were his precious jewel.

"Pa! I wanna be like you when i grow up! All strong!" Younger you said as you flexed your tiny arms, flashing a big grin. Your father chuckles as he puts a hand in your head and starts patting you, messing up your dolled up hair.

"Now now kiddo, Being one of us is really difficult, i dont want my sweetie to be hurt." He says, kneeling down to face you as you pouted.

"Nuh uh! Im still going to become an air enforcer like you!" You said as you crossed your arms.

"Im warning you kiddo." He stops kneeling down.

Well, that dream never came true.

Sitting in one of the benches, it was dark. Now why would a woman stand in the dark all by herself? Isnt that dangerous?

Not at all for you- okay that was cringe.

You fought for yourself always, learning to survive and such.

"Need to go home now.." you sigh, standing up from the bench and fixing your jacket, putting your hands in the pocket, whew it sure is chilly.

"Now now... whats a pretty girl like you doing all alone in the dark?" A creep asks, you could tell it wants something for you, so you kept walking, fastening your steps even more.

"He-Hey! I was talking to you! Come back here!" The creep yelled out.

"Get the fuck away from me." You said, the man finally quiet down and just stood there, watching you walk, and dissapear in the distance.

Finally, arrived to your home... or small apartment, you searched for the keys in one of the pockets you put your hands on, now holding onto the small key, you took it out of your pockets and opened the door.

DAY 2.

You went into the subway for absoulutely no reason at all, going down the stairs on the subway station's tunnel entrance, now sitting in one of the chairs to relax,you saw a... man in a suit, smiling weirdly with a briefcase approaching you, Guess he was a scammer?

The man smiles at you and sits beside you at the bench.

"Hello maam, may i talk to you?" He says, looking at you strangely.

You ignore him and just look at the ground of the subway station.

"Would you like to play a game with me?" He says, looking at you, eugh that stare kinda creeps you out(ik some of yall be simping)

"Eh... who even are you to begin with? Some kind of buisness man exactly?" You say, looking at the man.

You find him, his suitcase opened, finding a red and blue folded paper, along with... won.

He holds out both of the folded paper, and asks. "So, which color do you want to play as?" He says.

"...Blue." You say.

A FEW ROUNDS LATER.

He had explained the round, basically, the two of his slaps were decreasing of the 100k won, but instead, we pay with our... body? That sounds like prostitution but its done anyways.

He looks at you as you stood silent, looking at the man.

"Here's your won." The man says, the man's slap still aching.

"You can make money after playing game's like this do you know that miss?" He says, as you held the money.

"Would you like to try it out?" He said, the hint of mischieoveness achived in his voice.

You thinked, looked at the man. "Huh? Are you trying to fool me sir?" You say monotonely.

"Miss [Reader]." He said as he stood up. You went quiet as you looked at him, how did he know your name?

After that, he said everything, every information you had, school, work- whatever else, even your fathers name.

"As now, one of your family members passed a debt to you about.. 230 million won due to loan sharks."

"Wha- what are you..?" You said, looking at him terrified.

He pulls out a card from his coat pocket, holding it out to show to you.

"We have many spots left." He says, you took the card fastly from his hand, basically snatching it.

"Give me a call." He says as he walked away, you were left there, standing.

DAY 3.

You wake up, in a strange place. Looking around, you held your head as you sighed. Rubbing your temples.

"Fucking hell... my head hurts. You sat up, and took off the duvet that was covering you. Realizing that you had new clothes, you decided to unzip the zipper of the greenish blue jacket, you saw that something was written on your shirt.

238.

"What the... fuck." You stood up and went to the center, as someone accidentally bumped into you.

"Hey-! Watch where your going!" You say, the music that was coming from the speakers finally stopped as the man spoke to you "You watch ou- oh.. i apologize miss."

"Yeah, you better." You said, looking at the man.

You observed the man as you saw that he had a hair length that was reaching his neck a little bit, he had a strong jawline, and a part of his hair was tied to the back, he kinda looked cute whatsoever, but you didnt pay mind to that.

You looked at his jumper, the jumper has a number.. '388.'

The front door opened as three men with masks, the middle one has a square mask, the other two? Both circle.

"Thats strange, this isnt a costume party at all." You say, hand on your waist.

The man was still beside's you, you didnt notice him looking at you, and then he looked back at the guards.

Murmur's filled the room, as you stayed silent, the man beside you tried talking to you.

"Real- ehem, real strange for sure." Yet you still ignored him.

TIME SKIP OF THE SQUARE TALKING.

"Excuse me." A voice said from afar, you turned around to see, it appears to be a transgender woman, you respected her of course. She stepped down some few steps and said..

"You said i'd be playing games, but you practically kidnapped me." She said, looking at the guard.

"I apologize." The man in the square soldier says. "Please understand it was necessary to maintain the game's security."

"... I agree, we didnt consent to this at all." You spoke out, looking at the guards as people leaned their head torwards you.

"So how can we believe that?" She says.

"Whats with the mask then? Is your face also a secret?" A random female says.

"Yeah! Why are you hiding your face? Is this some kind of illegal gambling house?" A random man says.

"Even the dealers dont cover their faces in those place's!" The random woman says.

Murmur's build up as i listened to some of them.

"To ensure fair gameplay and confilentiality, it is our policy not to reveal the face's and identities of staff please understand." The square says.

"... i dont really give a shit about all this talking.. except taking us to some- some place else." i sigh, crossing my arms.

A diva- i mean a girl holds out the jacket given and holds it up. "Did you take off my clothes and put these on me?" The girl says.

"My shoes are limited fucking edition." A forked up- i mean a purple haired guy says, rotating the shoes. "They're hard to find, you goin' to replace em if they get" RUINED?!"

"These dont fit and the color sucks... can i just have what your wearing instead? I like pink" the girl says.

I sigh, looking at the girl from afar, hands now in my pocket's.

TIME SKIP WHEN THEY ANNOUNCE THE PPL W/ DEBTS CUS IM LAZY..

(sorry chat)

"Hah, a crypto scammer in this game...? Noted." I say as i scoff, after hearing the mans words.

"Player 333, llee myung-gi." As the square presses something, the tv that was placed up the screen showed something, the ddakji game..!

"Age 30, Used to run a Youtube channel called MG coin. After Convincing subscribers to invest in a new crypto coin called dalmatian, causing losses of approximately 15.2 billion won. You shut down and dissapeared. Your wanted for fraud, and for violating telecom,and financial investment laws. Current debt level, 1.8 billion won."

"Player 196, Kang Mi-na, 45 million won in debt."

"Player 120, Cho hyun-ju, 330 million won in debt."

"Player 238, [READER FULL NAME]. 230 million won in debt."

'What a fucker..' i stay silent looking at the side.

"Player 230, Choi Su-bong 1.19 billion won in debt."

"Player 198, Jang do-yeong 1.4 billion won in debt."

"Player 226, Kim Yeong-san 1.9 billion won in debt."

"Player 444, Kim Nam-du, 2.02 billion won in debt"

"Player 343, Sim Jae-Seok 2.89 billion won in debt."

"Player 006, Park Mi-hwa, 3.1 billion won in debt."

"Player 283, Lee Eun-jun, 4.02 billion won in debt."

"Player 100, Im Jeong-dae, ten billion won in debt."

"One more game!" The screen's speakers yell out.

"What a greedy old grandpa, huh?" You tried talking to the taller man beside you.

"Uhuh.. totally.. haha.." he says, scratching his nape.

"Who is that? Who is he?" Some people say.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!?" it yells out. "DO YOU THINK- BLAH BLAH BLAH blah blah..."

'Yeah we dont really care whatsoever.' You rolled your eyes, murmurs still surrounding him.

"All of you in this room, Have crippling debts, and now on a cliff-edge. When we first came to you, you did not trust us either. But as you know, we played a game, and gave you money as promised, And so you trusted us and volunteered to participate according to your own free will. You have one last chance to decide, Do you want to live in a piece of trash running for creditors? Or will you seize the last opportunity we are offering?" The square finishes.

I listened carefully (finally) to its words, processing all of it inside my head.

The light's suddenly darken- and now there was a golden glow emitting from above.

"Is heaven taking- woaah... never mind i guess." I look up and above, a piggy bank, not just any ordinary piggy bank, a fucking. Huge. One.

The music that appeared fastened up when the piggy bank was going down.

"Whoa, thats huge yanno'..?" The man beside's you says.

"What you see now, is the piggy bank where your valuable prize money will be stored. After each of the six games you will play, the prizs money will be accumalated in this piggy bank." The square says.

A mama's boy- i mean a man speaks up and asks "how much is the prize money?"

The square answers the man's question. "The prize money for the game is 45.6 billion won in total."

Shocked gasps and sounds build up.

"45.6 billion... won..." i say, my eyes blinking "thats insane."

"And one of us will get it?" The man asks.

"We will give you the detail's about the distribution of the price money after the first game. For these games, you will be given a special new advantage." The square says.

"What is it?" The old bit- i mean man says.

"After each game, you will be given a chance to vote on whether to continue the game or not. If the majority votes to stop the games, you can leave with the prize money accumalated up to that point." The square says.

"Are you saying.." a man says from behind,not in the crowd, but in the sides of the bed- whatever its called

"We'll receive the money after we leave the first game?"

Hey! i was wondering if you can write a fluff story of kang dae ho x reader in the games! just about him being protective and stuff if you know what i mean!

~When the Sun Hits~

✩°𓏲⋆🌿. ⋆⸜ 🍵✮˚ Kang Dae Ho x Reader

requested 💌

wc: 709 (short n sweet!)

a/n thank you so much for all the love and all the requests!! I'm getting my nails done soon LOL they're so grown out its hard to write so after that ill be more active!!! ily all<3 -matcha

comfort was hard to come by in this place of death, desperation, and shock, let alone the safety and security you craved. you felt much safer than you did the first game, compared to being alone and confused you now were part of a team, another member claiming to have gone through the games and offering help.

all of the members of your group had such unique personalities, gi hun being the one that originally caught your attention with his assistance in the first game; geum ja and her son's loving arguments providing a sense of sweetness and even occasional entertainment; jung bae's jokes providing humanity in the dark place you've all found yourselves trying to survive in. but no one caught your attention nearly as much as the man closest to your age, dae ho.

dae ho's respectful admiration of gi hun and then jung bae made you smile to yourself. "how could someone be so bubbly after what just happened here?" you wondered to yourself, the situation in front of you becoming more contrasting to the place it was happening in. you giggled to yourself as he shouted "SIR!" at jung bae for the fourth time in a row.

you didnt notice how it made him smile.

your focus shifted as gi hun began explaining the next game. the reality of going through the childhood game-themed blood bath sinking in. you listened intently as he explained what shape to pick. you began to feel less anxious, you knew what to expect and how to survive in the next game; and you weren't doing it alone, you had your team this time.

the thought of that made your demeanor soften. shifting from the feared facial expression to one of relief and appreciation. jung bae notices, asking you kindly "how are you holding up with all of this?" you respond with a smile, appreciating his care "better. I'm glad i found people and even more glad i have an idea of what I'm going into this time."

dae ho smiles again. this time you notice.

"are you feeling better as well? you should be, i mean you're the one who asked him." you said genuinely. he stutters; not expecting you to strike up a conversation with him and a bit embarrassed you noticed him smiling to himself. "i am!" he beams, "I'm also glad to have found a group, thank you for asking." your smile deepens, more than you had wanted it to. "thank you! what did you say your name was again?" you ask; knowing he had told jung bae his name earlier. "dae ho!" he exclaims adorably. "what is yours if you're comfortable sharing?" he asks respectful of the fact you may not want to share personal information at a death game. "y/n!" you say to him with a smile.

this time everyone notices how it makes you smile. jung bae chuckles as he gives gi hun a suggestive look.

"lights out is in 30 minutes." the recorded voice echos throughout the room. your fear returns as gi hun warns that things might get violent as the night progresses. your worry begins to show on your face as you look around, trying to remember where your bed was. the group, especially dae ho notices, and they all agree to let you stay near them for the night.

a silence falls on the group as the players all begin to settle in for the night. you turn around, noticing that dae ho moved from his bunk behind you to a new bed in front of you. you pretend not to notice, afraid you might smile or blush in an obvious way. you deeply appreciated the secure feeling being around this tall, handsome, almost stranger gave you.

he didnt feel like a stranger, you reminded yourself you just knew his name and that he was in the marines. you wanted to learn more; as you went to bed with the comforting stranger in front of you, protecting you from whatever lurked in the darkness, you hoped not just for your survival in the next game, but for your whole group to make it out.

you knew he would protect you against whatever was to come the next day.

KANG DAE-HO HEADCANONS !!

hai !! very late happy new year guyz ! sorry for my absence,, school started up again and i got distracted once more. also take this post as me opening my requests to squid game and alice in borderland !! also sorry for any bad grammar it is 2 am and my glasses are NOT on😞😞 will b getting to my other requests soon !!

he puts his hair up as a small remembrance of his sisters. it’s the only part of them he can hold on to while theyre gone with his father not there to say anything about it.

he has a hard time sleeping. most of the time his memories from the marines come back to him and he wakes up in a cold sweat. he eventually decided losing a couple hours of sleep was better than just dealing with it.

a little random one, but he’s definitely a tea guy. he believes coffee is too bitter. he’ll only drink it if it’s really drowned in sugar. he also drinks his tea with milk. thinks it tastes better and just likes milk in general, showing why he asked Sang-woo for his.

loves the rain but absolutely DESPISES thunder. remines him of his time in the marines and of his father. all he hears in the loud roar is the gunfire and the sound of his father yelling at him. will hide himself away and cover his ears with the most pressure possible during a storm.

i feel like his hairs a bit dead. not like crusting as ot looks well cared for, but it’s been bleached. having such an influence from his sisters i feel like at some point all 5 of them got highlights. his father yelled at him that day and insisted he took them out as they were ‘too femenine’ for him. never did anything with his hair after that.

is very protective over jun-hee as she reminded him of his eldest sister. he remembers when she was pregnant and how much of a pain it was and he wants her to have the least painful experience she can being in a place like this. he insists on making up for his ‘failure’ of protection of his sister during those times.

biggest hugger EVER. he absolutely loves giving hugs to anyone and everyone who will accept them. he’s a very physical affection type of guy. he’s not the best with his words most of the time so he preffers giving out hugs to prove he’s happy over something or someone !!

OOF. SORRY IF THESE R KINDA BAD THIS IS MY FIRST TIME JUST BABBLING MY OWN HEADCANONS OUT WITHOUT A PROMPT. BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN !!! PLSPLS LEAVE REQUESTS FOR HIM >___< PEACE !! :3

Smut Kang Dae-Ho/Player 388

NSFW: Smut/Sexual content, Sub Dae-HoxFem reader, Public Kinda?

————————————————

“f-fuck y/n” Dae-Ho whimpered attempting to not wake up other players around you. “Shhh be quiet baby people could hear you” you softly whispered as you quickened your pace on his dick.

It was lights out but neither you or Dae-Ho could sleep. So you got an idea while you both cuddled in the small bed covered by the light blanket. You knew he’d been wanting this since earlier but he was always too shy to ask thinking it was wrong.

He jolted at the pace signaling how close he was “You like that baby”? you asked him listening to his faint choppy breaths. “Y-yes” he whimpered a little too loud at your question.

“You need to be a little more quiet or do you want people to hear you be so whiny for me”? at your teasing question you felt his dick twitch and harden even more. “Oh you would”? you teased quickening your pace even more.

He only whimpered at your words feeling the knot in his stomach grow more. “Would you like it if people saw you moaning and whimpering my name begging to cum”? you teased him.

“S-stop” he whined embarrassed that you caught him. “What am I wrong”? you continued to mock him moving your finger to roll onto his tip with a slow pace.

He softly moaned at your action not responding to your question. You began to quicken the pace of your rolling finger causing him to grip your wrist. “Let go or I won’t let you cum” you demanded.

Quickly he let go allowing you to continue your movement on his dick. You go back to moving your hand up and down his dick faster than before. “You still haven’t answered my question” you whisper slowing your pace.

He whines at the feeling not wanting you to stop and too embarrassed to answer. You completely let go of his dick causing him to whimper “No please” you couldn’t see in the dark but you knew his eyes were teary begging for desperate release.

You wait a few seconds before suddenly gripping onto his dick starting your movements up again. “Answer me” you soft but harshly demand, he whimpers at your tone knowing he won’t cum unless he listens.

“N-no you’re not wr-wrong, fuck y/n pl-please” God he sounded so desperate and whiny under your control. “Good job baby” you whisper moving your finger back to his tip circling it faster.

His dick starts to twitch at the feeling, and he grips onto the mattress. He moans a little too loud but you don’t care anymore focused on your movements and his noises.

“You wanna cum”? you ask him knowing the answer. “Y-yes please, please” he answers breathlessly ready to cum into your hand. “Beg” you ordered him moving back to going up and down with your hand squeezing it just how he loved it.

He whimpered at your command embarrassed and turned on at the same time. “Pl-please please I need to cum” you go faster as you feel his dick start to twitch and his body starts to shake “more” you order. “ngh- fuck please please I need to cum y/n just for you please” at his desperate obedient words you finally allow him to let go “cum”.

His body jolts and shakes at your permission to cum “thank you thank you thank you y/n f-fuck” he repeats feeling the knot in his stomach snap. You keep going as him cum starts to drip down and you can feel it on your hands.

Once done you take out your cum covered hand and in the dark lean into his ear sucking his cum off your fingers. “You taste so good Dae-Ho” you whisper before licking his ear. You couldn’t see each other but you knew his cheeks were red.

WORD COUNT:3,560k

PREVIOUS... NEXT PART.. MASTERLIST

"That is correct." The square says. 'Hope this'll be fun, whatsoever.' I say in my thought's, focusing on the rushing things that came on my mind.

"...cool i guess, free money from playing kiddie games." I put yet again, both of my hands in my pocket's. But suddenly, a voice of an old woman was heard.

"Good heavens- excuse me." The voice echoed through the room.

A faint sound of a slap, a slap on a cloth was heard as it soon was followed by words. "You idiot-!" The old woman says.

"Mom! Wha- what are you doing here..?" The familliar voice that was heard earlier said.

"Thats what i wanted to ask you! What are you doing here!?" The old woman's voice said angrily.

"Embarassing? If you know what was embarassing, you wouldn't be here!" The old woman continued, i guess the son spoke in a whisper before that then.

"No- we wont, come on! Your leaving." The old woman said again, it appears to be that my calculations were correct, never mind im sounding like a nerd.

'Wow, family drama in such place like this is crazy, haha.' I say in my thoughts.

"Why would you bring a naive old woman here?! Will you take responsibilit if my mom collapses!? HAH?" The familliar male's voice earlier yelled out.

"yong sik- ill stay and do this, you go home.." the old woman said, now that you knew that player's name.

"Stop it! Im already here, i cant just leave!" Yong sik continues.

"But you promised me! You promised never to gamble again!" The old woman continues(i love this diva sm)

SKIPPING TO.. TAKE PICCIES.

As you were standing in line, looking at the players taking their pics as a woman on the speakers had announced something.

"Damn.. this is taking long, my feet are gonna be sore-" i sighed, but the speakers interrupt me.

"The first game will begin momentarily."

Now the line being done, you took a step as it said to you.. "smile." Yeah sure, smile for the picture or cheese?

(The picture is what i potray the reader as! But you can potray the reader however you like, or being yourself! The reader can be any race, weight, or bodyshape! As long as your enjoying it :). )

Music plays as you stood infront of the camera.

"Yeah i wont.. smile." You say, because your smile scared alot of children last time you approached them, yeesh.

You walked out of the photo booth or something ... i really dont know what its called.

The speaker spoke again.

"After having your picture taken, follow the staff's instructions and proceed to the game site." The speaker says as you slowly went up the stairs...

☆ ○o。..。o○ ☆

"Welcome to the first game, all players please wait a moment on the field." The speaker says as you stepped out, there was sand in the ground, the walls were painted like landscapes, and there was a huge hole above all of this.

But the strange thing you noticed is that..

There was a weird doll that represented a figure of a child, it wore yellow and had pigtails, "yeesh that give's me the chills." You said as the sun went to blind your eyes.

The door behind you closed, basically the door was shut behind you, automatically..

"The game is Red light, Green light." It announced.

I prepared myself as i stretched my arm's "first game, easy enough." You say with confidence as you looked at the front.

"Hey! Dont get too cocky missy." Someone said right behind you, ew.

"Nah, id win." You said, your back still facing the man that said you were too cocky, well it was a sheer boost of confidence.

"Cross the finish line in five minutes without getting caught. If you do you pass." The speaker says but suddenly- someone went upfront, it was the familliar voice that you heard earlier. "Everyone! Everyone! Pay attention!" The familliar figure waved and put his hand to deliver attention to him, wow main character energy that much.

"Listen carefully! This is not just a game! If you lose the game, you DIE!" He yelled out.

"Dying from a kid's game? Sounds awfully fake." You said, fixing your hair as strands went up to your face, looking at the.. crazy? You wouldnt call him that, Man.

"That sounds sketchy,"

"Fake"

"Hes crazy."

People spoke, as you laughed a little.

"Hey! What are you talking about?" A random woman says. "Were going to die playin' red light, green light?" The random woman questioned.

The familliar figure responded. "Of course! If they catch you moving, they will kill you! They will shoot from somewhere!" The man says.

"Sounds weird enough." You said, letting out a sigh as you moved your head again, looking at your left, you noticed... player 388 yet again. His head was tilted slightly as he listened to the man's words. Huh, cute- wait. Your only here for money not for love.

"Oh hey its you agai-" you spoke out, but the familliar figure that was in the front spoke again.

"Stay on your toes!" The familliar figure yelled out.

"Ehem, as i was saying, hello... player 388." You greeted him as he glanced at you, his lips were parted as he waved a little bit.

"Ah.. hello again uhm, player 238." He says flashing a small grin, but the familliar figure spoke again.

"If you get caught, YOU DIE! That doll's eyes are motion detectors!" The familliar figure says."Stay on your toes!"

"Well, no time for chatting i guess." I say as i spoke to player 288, he nods as we both stood silent, the tension was akward even if there were multiple people surrounding us.

"What the hell are you talking about???" A random man says. "I think he's trying to scare us so he can win the prize money!"

"Thats right!"

"I agree!"

Multiple people agreed on the man's words as we both still stood akwardly with each other.

"Dont pull any tricks, asshole!" Another guy says.

"You have to believe me!" The familliar figure says. The figure rotate's its head as the weird doll starts to move, its right hand started to raise and cover its eye. You took a deep breath and released it.

"Do not be alarmed or panic! No matter what happens, do not panic and start running!" The figure says.

"Let the game begin."

An alarm suddenly ticks as the doll finally spoke.

"Green light, red light."

You moved, and finally stop, looking at the man that did a gesture that made his arms go down.

"Freeze!" The man yelled, you focused on not moving as your feet began digging in the sand. The sun literally is interfering with this.

The doll rotated its head as its eyes began to weirdly move. 'Ew.... creppy ass doll.' You said, looking at the doll while you spoke in your thoughts.

"Well done! You just need to stay calm like this! We just have to move and stop at the same time!" The man yelled.

"Green light...." you moved fastly as you halted, the man speaking yet again.

"Freeze!" He yelled.

'Being in a jumper while being under the sun, too much coverage, but gotta handle it.' You say in your thoughts yet again.

"Dont move! Stay still! Just relax!" The man yelled.

"Green light.." you ran slowly.

"Red light." The doll chanted.

It repeated again as you took some steps, you really wished there was an AC inside this room, well.. you never experienced it anyway except when going to stores and such.

"Freeze!" The man repeatedly yelled again.

'This is getting boring not gonna lie..' you say in your thoughts again.

The doll moved its head again as you repeated it, repeat repeat repeat, even hid words were repeated.

You freezed yet again, the air hitting you lightly.

But suddenly, you heard a gunshot.

Shit.

A loud thud echoed through as you stood, now static as a heavy boulder. Then, there was a scream that followed now, people we're moving. Scarlet red coated the back of your jumper as you still stood. Not flinching from the sound at all.

Screams and gunshots continued, more blood soon dripped in the ground, wow you already got stained by someone's blood. Thats that for not knowing what will happen, also maybe consequences in the first round: getting stained by someones blood.

'Just dont move and we'll be good.' The gunshot's were still going as the man yelled again. "Freeze!" One more gunshot followed it.

"You can move forward while the tagger shouts, 'red light green light. If your movement is detected afterward, you will get eliminated."

The doll rotated its head again as you still stood.

It rotated its head for two times untill the familliar voice finally spoke again.

"You'll also die if you donr make it there in time! That doll is a motion detector! But it can't detect motion thats not visible to it!" The man signals its hand open and closed as he continues with his words. "Get behind someone bigger than you! Like your following the leader! Were running out of time! We've got to move!" You moved behind a.. familliar back with that signature small ponytail of their's.

Player 388. Huh this must be a coincidence that your almost being close to him and such.

You suddenly stumbled as you put your hand behind him.

"...sorry." you said, gripping his jumper a little to be a gesture of an apology, you noticed his hand slightly shaking, that made you feel slightly worried.

"No-nono.. its fine.. miss." He said, you can tell he was anxious suddenly.

Two gunshots were soon followed again as the doll moved its head again, getting your grip out of 388's jumper, he suddenly held your hand and ran, then stopped. His hand felt callused compared to yours, his was warm, yours was.. cold.

You were still behind him as you gulped some air.

Now, a line was now formed by individual players. Yet you still focused on.. the game and this feeling i guess.

"Do not move! Freeze!" The familliar man yelled out, but then suddenly, three thuds were heard as it was one gunshot, and the other two were shot at the same time.

The doll moved its head again and his grip on your hand tightened, running, and then stop.

One gunshot followed as he still kept you behind him, wow dude you guys arent even dating or in a relationship yet, get a grip🙏😭

As i was saying, it repeated again, the sound of the sand below crunching as there were another gunshot.

"Hey- 388, why are you holding my hand-" you questioned but he doesnt respond. He still kept holding it as you both halted again one gunshot. Two gunshot.

You two were almost near the finish line as you noticed someone stumble, now shot.

"It wasnt me. She pushed me i didnt move! It was her i didnt move!" The random man said.

A gunshot was soon followed as the familliar man cheered. "Your almost there! You can do it!"

You two were a step ahead on getting to the finish line.

You two both fell inside the finish line as you both grunted, now you were heaving, breathing for air.

"Im sorry uh- miss, i didnt mean to hold your hand." He said, holding a hand out for you to grab.

You held his hand and stood up, dusting the jumper.

"... thanks for shielding me though, i should be the one to apologize for-" he cut's you out.

"No, no its fine." He spoke. You noticed that there was three people running up to the finish line, the one in middle being injured.

The three of them ran, and now arrived at the finish line.

"By the way miss.. whats your name?" The man behind you spoke.

"I think you already heard it being announced but.. [nam-]" there was a gunshot followed as the man died inside the finish line.

You didnt speak after that, knowing it was a time to not speak.

"...[name]. It is.. im- im kang dae ho." He introduce's himself.

The sky suddenly darkens as you both look up, there was sound building up from the other players as it closed slowly.

"Players, its now time to go back to the quarters." The speaker had announced.

☆ ○o。..。o○ ☆

Now you and dae ho were facing each other even in opposite bunk beds, the silence filling both of your eardrums.

"That was..." you said.

"Not great." He said.

Both of you had said it in unison.

The door buzzed open as the pink guards showed up, walking a little bit.

You hid behind your bunk bed in instinct as they approached.

"Congratulations for making it through the first game. Here are the results of the first game." The square said.

The tv immedietly turned on, showing numbers that dropped down. "Out of 456 players, 91 players have been eliminated. 365 players have completed the first game." The square announces.

"Congratulations again for making it through the first game." The square announces.

"Sir please dont kill us!" The familliar old woman's voice begged. "Please dont kill ud im begging you! As for my son's debt, i will do whatever it takes to pay you back! Please forgive us!"

It followed other players begging for their lives, kneeling down, crying. Both you and dae ho didnt mind all of them but just exchanged eye glance's.

"We are not trying to harm you. We are presenting you an opportunity." The square says.

"Clause three of the consent forms!" The familliar man yelled out. " 'the games may be terminated upon a majority vote.' Correct?"

"That is correct." The square answered. Both you and dae ho's head were now turned into the direction of the familliar man, looking at him.

"Then let us vote right now." The man says.

"Of course. We respect your right and freedom of choice." The square continues. "But first, let me announce the prize amount thats been accumalated. "

The square clicks on the remote as the piggy bank slowly goes below along with music and sound effects.

I looked from the side of the bunk bed and stared at the won falling from a tube inside the piggy bank.

"The number of players that were eliminated were 91. Therefore,accumalates to 9.1 billion won." The square says. "If you quit the game now, the 365 of you can equally divide 9.1 billion won and leave with your share.

"How much is that?" The old bitc-man says.

"each person's share would be 24,931,500 won." The square says.

Voice's build up yet again as they all had different answers.

"Thats not enough.."

"We almost died for that.."

Well, it was true. You needed more won. Still too minimum.

"Million? You said 45.6 billion!" A purple haired guy said. Oh you definately could recognize the dude.

"The rule is that, a hundred million won will be accumalated for each eliminated player." The square says.

You perked up from his words that soon followed another. "If you play the next game and more players get eliminated, the prize amount will increase accordingly." The square spoke.

"How much will it be if you survive untill the end?" The annoying- i mean old man spoke.

"as i already told you, the total amount of prize money for all 456 players is 45.6 billion won. Those who make it through all six games, will equally divide the 45.6 billion won." The square answered.

"So if your the only one to survive, you get 45.6 billion?" A random man spoke.

"That is correct." The square answered.

Murmurs start building up again as you noticed dae ho fidgeting with his fingers, signalling him with your hand to ask if he was okay, he nods and gives you a thumbs up.

"So we can take a vote again and decide to leave after the next game?" A random man had spoke.

"As promised in the consent form, you can take a vote for each game and decide to leave with the prize money accumulated to that point. We alwaye prioritize your voluntary participation.. Now, lets begin the vote." The square spoke.

You gestured dae ho to stand up and he does so, walking down to go with the fewer people below.

Both of you were standing behind the several players as you sighed.

"If you wish to continue the game, press the O button, if you wish to end them, press the X button." The square has said as you looked at the ground. "The vote will be held in reverse order of your player numbers, player 456." The man had called out, everyone's attention went to him as you gulped, thinking about what to vote.

You needed the money because it wasnt enough.

"Its all pointless!" Your thoughts had been interrupted as a strange woman that was on the top bunks spoke. "Talk about getting creep's again.." you said.

"You didnt decide when to come into this world, and you cant decide when you leave it either. When and where you die, were already decided by the gods the moment you were born. No matter how hard you try, you CAN never escape it." The woman said.

a button was soon followed as you looked at the flat screen tv, one X. "Once you finish voting, put the patch you are given on the right side of your chest, put the patch you are given on the right side of your chest, and stand on the side you have chosen." The square announces.

A few votes followed as it called dae ho, looking at dae ho who was walking torwards the button, the O went up by one.

After few people again, it was finally your turn. "Player 238." It had announced. The X and O's side turns their face on you as you walked, thinking about the buttons that was plastered on the voting, you finally were infront of it.

You pressed.. O.

After you pressed it, they gave you a blue patch and went to the blue side, the counter went up by one yet again.

Several votes followed as the score is now 87 to 93. Looking at the screen above, someone had spoken up yet again.

"Wait a minute everyone! Wait! You cant do this." The familliar voice had spoken again, looking into the direction of that player, you already knew who it was.

"Come to your senses! Dont you see? These arent all games, we will die if we keep playing! We have to get out of here now." The man had interrupted the voting process.

"Who do you think you are?!"

"Im super man." I answered. It was that annoying old man again.

"Why do you keep egging people on like that? You scared us by saying they'd shoot us before the game even began!" Wow ferocious debate mister.

"Thats right! He was going one abour how we'd die, and i almost did because i got so nervous!" A woman had spoken up, it was followed by a man. "How did you know they were going to shoot us? Are you one of them?" The man had spoken, and that annoying voice came up again.

'Fucking hell this debate makes my head hurts..' i say in my mind, as i went to rub my temples.

"Are you conning us all by pretending to be a player? Who is this guy?!" The old man shoved the man. "Did you plant him to mess with our hands?!" The old man said.

"Thats uncalled for! We wouldn't won the game and survived if it weren't for him!" The guy who seemed to be his bestfriend defended him.

He was correct afterall, but you just needed more money to pay half of the debt.

"And you! I saw how scared you were, and your legs were shaking!" The bff man yelled.

"You should thank him, not treat him like a fraud!" The man yellled. "And who the hell are youuu? Are you conspiring with him?" Another guy said. "Older than you, what are you going to do? Huh? Huh?" It was followed by an old woman's voice gesturinh for them to stop.

"Please dont do this, listen- none of us would be alive if it weren't for this gentleman! So enough with the greed- lets put our live's first and get out of this place- okay?" The old woman cried out.

"Thats right!"

"Lets get all out of here!"

"No we have to keep playing!"

The arguments were cut off as it was followed by the familliar man's voice.

"I have played these games before! I have done this before! I know about the first game because i had played it before! I played the games three years ago! And everyone who was with me.. died here!" The man had said, as voices build up yet again, theyre so noisy...

"They all did?"

"All of them?"

"Really, no way. If they all did, how did you survive alone? Wait. Are you saying you were the sole winner?" A man had said. "Thats right. I was the final winner." The familliar man answered. They were gossiping again soon after. "If we continue the games, every single person here... just like all the people back then, will die in the end." You can hear pain in his last few words. You felt bad but, you still needed the money.

"Bullshit." The old man interrupted again."if you were the sole winner it means you eon 45.6 billion won. If you really did, why would you even come back here?"

"Thats right! Hes lying!"

"Cut the crap!"

"Hes a total nutcase!"

"If someone like you can win, so can i!"

"If you really won it actually works better for us. You can give us some tips, on how to beat these game's." The familliar purple haired dude said, now you do recognize him.

"Thats right! We have a previous winner with us, so what do we have to worry about? Come on lets do this!"

"Come on!"

"Yeah!"

"Lets make some money!"

"Lets do this!"

"Lets do it!"

"Lets try!"

You just stood there processing what happened as every word of them came to a blur, but the square spoke again.

"From here on, we will not tolerate actions that disrupt the voting process. Now, lets resume the vote."

Few votes afterward, it all led to a tie. People cheered for the tie.

"Lastly, player 001." They all looked into the direction of the man.

"Everyone say O!"

"O!"

"X!"

They all cheered as the man went to the voting podium.

All of them were now focused on the man, so were you.

The vote had clicked as the O... won.

Half of the people in O cheered as you covered your ears, now.. all the people retreated to their quarters. You noticed dae ho and ran up to him.

"Hey, dae ho!" You said, he noticed you as you followed him, going to your bunk bed as the opposite of him.

You sat down in the bunk bed and looked at hid patch, you werent alone anyways.

"Hey dae ho.. do you have a reason on why you voted O?" You asked, looking at him. "Yeah.. i do." He said quietly.

Vigilante

Genre: Action, Angst, Fluff, boss!jaehyun Pairing: Jaehyun x Reader Word Count: 10,297 Requested by @xrstnee24 :) A/N: Every thing related to the crime and criminals is heavily-inspired by Midnight Runners. A Korean action-comedy movie with Park Seo-jun and Kang Ha-neul! It's a great movie, watch it!

It's been a month since a group of syndicates started kidnapping college girls in your city at night for unknown reasons. The police force and investigators have been working day and night to arrest the culprit and find out the reason why they target college girls specifically.

Your parents are working overseas and are extremely worried. They always video call you to see how you are doing and make sure that you are safe. On your part, you have no choice but to be very cautious. Wake up in the morning, go to university, go home. All the college girls in your city are doing the same thing. None of you would dare to risk your lives just to go out and party. Some businesses have started to suffer because of this. The clubs, the malls, some coffee shops. That is another reason why the police are doing their best, your city is losing lives and the economy is suffering.

You've been religiously going home from school before the sun even sets, until one evening. It was around 5:30PM, you were at home and about to start doing your homework when you realized that you left the booklet to be answered in your locker. "Shit!" You shouted. The submission is tomorrow morning during your first subject, which which gives you no time to do it tomorrow. You sat still on your chair for minutes contemplating whether to go back to school to retrieve it from your locker or just explain to the teacher what happened and ask if you could submit it tomorrow afternoon. However, knowing that teacher, you were certain that he wouldn't agree.

The sun is still up and you decided that if you leave right this moment you might still be able to go home safely.

You ran to the bus station and luckily, the bus was already there as if waiting for you. After ten minutes, you dropped off in front of your school gate and you felt some chills when you saw that no one was there except for the janitor sweeping the area right in front of the building entrance. Your school wasn't like this. At this hour, plenty of students would still be here chatting or studying together. You would usually hear the different varsity teams practicing in their respective areas but since the kidnapping began, the practice hours were cut shorter.

You quickly approached your locker to get the booklet and ran back out. Your heart was thumping but you were relieved to see that the sun is still up. The relief convinced you that you didn't need to run anymore especially now that you got what you needed, and so you took your time walking to the nearest bus station. You were so focused on reading the booklet that you failed to see nor feel that a guy snuck up behind you and hit your head, knocking you unconscious.

A few hours into the night, you slowly woke up while rubbing your head to ease the pain. You opened your eyes but it was almost pitch dark, the only light coming from the small barred window all the way up on one of the walls, mainly to serve as ventilation.

You were trembling when you realized what happened to you. 

"I am.. one of their victims.. now." You whispered to yourself.

"That's right." A girl a few meters away from you replied. You looked at her in shock and you noticed that she was around the same age as you. Another high school girl.

"H-hi. Where are we?" 

"I don't know. I've been here for two weeks and I still don't fucking know." She replied with tears falling.

"What do they want from us?" 

"They-" The girl was cut off when two bulky men around in their thirties barged into the room and you swore to God you never felt that scared in your life. They violently pulled the girl up and dragged her out of the room. All she could do was scream and all you could do was watch.

One of the guys stayed behind and looked at you with a smirk. "You're next." He said before leaving.

You couldn't help but cry and hug yourself in an attempt to stop yourself from trembling. "Is this how I'm gonna die? I'm gonna die at such a young age in those motherfuckers' hands?" You asked yourself and that's when you felt a slight yet strong feeling of determination. You had to at least fight back.

You looked around the room to see if there's anything you could use as a weapon. You were already hopeless when you noticed that there were some medium-sized shards of glass glistening under the moonlight that entered through the window. 

You wrapped your right hand with your handkerchief to protect it from the glass and when you were ready, you knocked on the door to see if someone was there. After your second knock, a guy responded. 

"The fuck you want?"

"Can I go to the bathroom please? I.. I need to go. Please? I won't do anything I just need to go. Please? Please-" 

"Alright, alright. Just shut up and stop whining." The guy said as he unlocked the door.

The moment he opened it, you stabbed his eyes with the glass and then his neck right after to keep him from shouting. You left him bleeding and unconscious before examining the place to see where you could exit. You peeked around the corner and saw a couple of other guys guarding their own doors. You looked outside the window and saw that no one was there. That's when you realized that the windows lining the corridor were your best option if you wanted to save your life. You were at the second floor but you didn't hesitate to jump. You had to. 

You slightly injured your right shoulder upon landing but you successfully didn't make any noise. So far, none of the guys knew you were out of the building already. You were extremely thankful and stood up to run out of the open gate. The street was full of abandoned buildings. You started to hear music and pick up a faint smell of food the farther you ran. At a distance, you saw neon signs and a few people having drinks at the different restaurants and food stalls. You looked at the signs again and realized that you were in your city's Chinatown. It was your first time there but you didn't want to stay any longer. You just wanted to go home. Also, you were not even sure if the people there could be trusted. 

You slowly walked a few more meters away from Chinatown's entrance until you felt lethargy finally hitting you. You were very thirsty and tired and the pain from your right shoulder was starting to take its toll. Your legs eventually gave up and you collapsed on the side of the road. It was already 1 o'clock in the morning and you were pretty sure that no one was on the street, until you saw a tall figure of a guy with brown hair wearing a hoodie standing a few meters from you, holding a plastic bag that looks like a food take-out. Your vision was blurry and eventually blacked out. That guy was the last you saw before falling completely into unconsciousness.

You felt sun rays hitting your closed eyes. You slowly opened them and the first thing you saw was a white ceiling with a few damaged parts. You tried to move but your whole body ached, which triggered you to remember everything that happened last night. You began to panic thinking that the criminals might have caught you again after you collapsed on the street so despite the pain, you shot your body up in an attempt to escape.

"Ouch!" You cried in agony, sniffling and holding back the tears.

The door suddenly opened and you instantly flinched back and covered yourself with the blanket, a poor attempt to protect yourself. You were expecting to see a bulky ugly guy in his thirties just like the ones you saw last night in the building, but what you saw was the exact opposite.

His face had a hint of worry, eyes in shock and brows furrowed, chocolate brown hair beautifully disheveled, skin was white and glowing, lean yet muscular built. He was wearing a simple white shirt and a pair of jeans. He was attractive.

"Did you suddenly move?" He asked.

"What?"

"I said did you suddenly move? That's why you cried in pain, am I right?" He continued with a blank face, worry no longer apparent.

"Y-yes. I thought I was still..."

"In that place. Where the kidnappers brought you."

"How did you know?" You asked, surprised.

He slowly walked towards you and took your left wrist to show you a code comprised of numbers and letters.

"Oh my god what's this?! I didn't know I had this on my wrist!" 

"It's a code they put on the girls they kidnap. I saw you on the side of the road last night, unconscious, dirty, messy, and had some blood in your hands. Then I saw that code and I knew you escaped from them. Good job." He smirked at you.

"Why.. why do you know about them and this code? The police never announced anything about this."

"The police don't know shit. I can't tell you too much but, I'll just let you know that this is not the first city they victimized. After they reach the target amount here, they'll leave and move on to another."

"How do you know all of these? Who.. who are you?"

"Doesn't matter. I'll let you stay here up until lunch time. Then you'd have to leave." He said before walking out of the room, but you stopped him.

"Wait! Will I be safe on my way home? Will I just act like nothing happened? I need to go to the poli-"

"Don't tell the police anything." He replied but with a firmer tone that scared you. "They'll just mess things up. Don't worry, those kidnappers will get what they deserve soon." He continued before leaving.

You were thankful that you successfully escaped. But meeting this guy who saved you and hearing everything he just said just confused you even more. However, you just shrugged it off. All that matters is you're safe now.

You continued to rest until the guy woke you up gently.

"Hey. Wake up. It's already noon." 

"Alright." You replied tiredly as you carefully sat up.

"I cooked some lunch. Eat up and then leave right after." 

"Okay. Thank you." You said as you put your shoes on, watching him leave the room.

You got out of the room to see a huge dining room with an equally huge living room. At first you thought he might be living alone, but you were wrong. Looking around the space, you noticed that there were other pairs of shoes in different sizes, all for boys. You guessed that he might be living with his friends.

You sat down right across from him and watched him eat. 

"Eat as much as you can." 

"Thanks. And thank you for saving me. If not for you.. those guys might have found me again." You said with an embarrassed smile.

"It's nothing. Just don't tell anyone about your experience. A group of people are already taking care of this problem. But they're not the police." He replied, focused on getting more rice and not looking at you even once.

"Okay-"

"Jaehyuns! I'm home!" Another boy yelled before opening the door.

"Shit!" You heard the guy across from you whisper.

"What's for lun-" The boy who just entered said but he stopped himself the moment he saw you. 

He looked younger than you and the guy you're having lunch with. You waited for him to greet you but he just stood there frozen with wide eyes.

"H-hi." You said with a small wave.

"Hey. I'm Mark. And you're?"

"Y/N."

"Oh, okay." Mark said as he exchanged glances with the guy across from you. You felt that there was some weird tension, a tension that's practically saying that you shouldn't be there.

"Uhm.. I'll leave now. I can just have lunch at home. Thank you." You said as you stood up.

"No, wait. It's okay. Have lunch here and then I'll give you some money to commute. The bastards got your wallet."

"Shit, you're right."

"Wait what? The bastards? She.." Mark said.

"Yes, she was kidnapped last night but miraculously escaped." 

"Oh my god that's amazing!" Mark exclaimed. "I'll just change clothes then I'll eat with you guys!" 

"Okay."

There was silence between the two of you as you both tried continue eating, until you decided to break it.

"I just realized.. we haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm Y/N."

"Yeah I heard."

"Your name is Jaehyuns?"

"Without the S. Mark likes adding S to my name and I don't even know why." Jaehyun replied, which earned him a laugh from you. He was pleasantly surprised by the sound and looked at you with adoration. With his environment and nature of work, he rarely gets to hear a beautiful girl laugh, especially because of something he said.

After fifteen minutes, you and Jaehyun finished eating, leaving Mark alone on the table.

"Just wait outside by the door." Jaehyun instructed you.

"Okay." You replied with a smile which made Jaehyun do a double take.

Once you were outside, Mark started teasing Jaehyun.

"Ooh you like her!"

"I don't. Shut up. Listen, don't tell the others about this, about her."

"Huh? But why?"

"I.. I don't want her to get involved with what we're doing. She already went through a lot."

"Oh.. alright. I understand."

"Thanks." Jaehyun said as he playfully ruffled Mark's hair before going out to meet you.

Jaehyun went down the apartment building with you and hailed a cab.

"Here, this would be more than enough." He said as he gave you cash.

"Thank you so much and I'm sorry. How will I pay you back?" 

"No need to be sorry and to pay me back. It's fine." He said with a genuine smile that you saw for the first time, introducing his dimples to you.

"Okay. Thanks again. Goodbye!" You replied before riding the cab. 

"Bye." Jaehyun replied. He watched your cab drive away for a few seconds before riding his motorbike, intending to follow you to ensure your safety and see where you live.

After half an hour, your cab stopped right in front of your home and Jaehyun parked his bike somewhere you don't see him. 

He was happy to save you and was even more.glad that you are now home safely. But he has an inexplicable bad feeling that makes him uneasy.  A feeling that makes him want to protect you.

You went back to school and moved on with your life acting like you didn't almost die in the hands of the notorious syndicates. It was difficult at first, you wanted to share your experience to your friends and especially to the police. But you didn't want to disobey the guy who saved you. Jaehyun saved your life but all he asked in return was for you to keep the whole thing a secret.

It's been five days since you got home safely and you were now exiting the school grounds. Little did you know that a black van was waiting for the right time to kidnap you, yet again. But before the van could make a move, you heard a familiar voice from across the street. You found Jaehyun riding his motorbike with a helmet on, signaling for you to come over immediately.

"Jaehyun? What are you doing here?"

"Wear this and get on. We have to leave right now." He said quickly as he handed you a helmet. 

You didn't say or ask anything and just did what you were told. After twenty minutes, you were back to his apartment.

"What just happened? Why were you across my university waiting for me?" You asked upon entering his unit.

"They're back. They're planning to kidnap you again to make sure you won't inform anyone everything you know about them." Jaehyun replied with slight panic in his voice.

"Oh my god. I thought I could live normally again." You replied, distraught and trembling.

"Don't worry. You'd be safer here."

You looked at him immediately as you were taken aback by his offer. 

"Y-you don't have to stay here. I'm just saying.. you'll be safer if you stay here." Jaehyun stuttered as he avoided looking in your eyes.

"It's okay. I understand. Thank you very much. If not for you..." Your voice got weaker as you realized that what you were about to say was a bit cheesy. "But, will Mark be alright with this?" You asked in an attempt to change the topic.

"Don't worry about him. He's fine with this. I just need to inform the others."

"Others?"

"Yeah. There are seven of us living here." Jaehyun replied before looking at you with slightly raised brows.

"S-seven?" You asked, surprised because all along you thought he only lived with Mark.

"Yeah."

"What if they don't agree?"

"They will. I already told them about you, about me saving you last week. They know you're a victim."

You just looked at him with a puzzled look as you didn't know what to say.

Jaehyun took a deep breath before continuing, "They're my friends and they help me catch the syndicates. We've been planning to catch them for months now and the big day will come soon."

"What? But isn't that dangerous? Why are you and your friends doing this? The police exists for a reason."

"Because I'm more determined than them. I'm more focused. I don't waste any day and night because I want those fucking criminals caught as soon as possible." Jaehyun firmly said as he raised his voice with each word, causing you to stay still as you began to get scared of him.

Jaehyun noticed how you're feeling and instantly went back to his usual calm self.

"I.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you." He said as he slowly took steps forward.

"It's nothing. Maybe I shouldn't be asking you too many questions." 

"Are you hungry? We have food here." Jaehyun quickly said as he approached the well-stocked refrigerator. 

You were about to get a bottle of chocolate milk when a red-haired guy entered the room.

"Taeyong." Jaehyun said as greeted the other boy with a high-five.

"That's her?" Taeyong asked with a little smile as he pointed at you.

"Yep." Jaehyun replied, showing his dimples to you and it took all your self-control not to squeal on the spot.

Three tall boys entered, one with blonde hair while the other two had navy blue and black. You began to feel overwhelmed by their intimidating presence until two more boys arrived, one of them looked Chinese and had blonde pinkish hair while the other one was Mark. Finally, another familiar face and a breath of fresh air.

"Oh, hey! Nice to see you again!" He exclaimed as he ran forward to give you a hug.

"Hi. Same here." You said with an embarrassed chuckle as you hugged him back.

"Y/N, they're the friends I was telling you about. Taeyong, Doyoung, Yukhei, Jungwoo, Winwin, and the one you know already, Mark."

"Hi." You said, waving shyly.

They all returned your greeting in unison and you were amazed by the sound of their deep voices.

"We're gonna have dinner soon. Wanna join?" Taeyong asked you as he approached the table.

"Uhm.. no, thank you. I'm not hungry yet." 

"You're good with that?" Doyoung asked you as he gestured at your chocolate milk.

"Y-yes. I'm fine." 

"I'll show you your room." Jaehyun told you before you followed him.

He opened a door in the far corner and you saw a small but clean room.

"Sorry, it's so small." Jaehyun apologized as he lightly scratched his head.

"It's fine! It looks cozy and comfortable. Thank you." You replied, smoothing out the bed before taking a seat.

"We have unused clothes here. Don't worry, they're all clean. Taeyong is a clean freak." He said, opening the tall brown closet right across the foot of your bed.

"Alright."

Jaehyun sat beside you hesitantly before talking again. 

"I'm really sorry about earlier." He said, fiddling with his fingers as he looked at them.

"I already said, it's nothing. Don't worry about it, I'm not mad." You chuckled.

Despite the amicable tone in your voice, Jaehyun still looked down on his hands with a conflicted expression, as if contemplating about something.

"I think you deserve to know what's really going on in here." He finally spoke.

"Hmm? Haven't you.. explained it to me earlier?" 

"No. What I mean is, I want to tell you what those criminals actually do and why I want to catch them with my own hands." He said, finally looking at you with such glint in his eyes. 

You nodded to let him continue.

"Those criminals kidnap young women to get their egg cells."

"Wait, what? That's fucking disgusting!"

"Exactly. They roam around the country one city at a time instead of going around kidnapping girls all at once to avoid getting noticed by the national police."

"But why are they doing this? I thought they were gonna sell me as a prostitute or something. What's with the interest in egg cells?"

"They forcibly get egg cells and sell them to a huge and well-known hospital."

"You've got to be kidding me."

"I hope I was. The hospital offers legal IVF services and infertile couples approach them to choose the egg cells of the best woman among those who willingly donated. These couples are victims as well. They have no idea that those egg cells were retrieved illegally instead of donated willingly."

"You know so much about them. But how did you get all these info?"

"Early last year, my older sister became one of their victims. But unlike you, she didn't make it out alive." Jaehyun declared as he looked down on the floor.

"W-what.. Oh my god, I'm so sorry."

"Our parents died when we were young so she took it upon herself to provide for the two of us. But one night, she didn't go home. I waited the next morning to go to her workplace and asked them where she was. But none of them knew. I posted on my social media about her and one of my friends said that he saw her the night she went missing. He said she was unconscious while being carried to a van. He thought she was just drunk and her friends were just assisting her. He gave me the plate number of the van they used and I immediately went to the police. Here comes the annoying part.” Jaehyun said with a scoff before continuing.

“I had to beg again and again for them to prioritize my case. I went there in the morning, they only agreed to help me in the evening. I waited the whole fucking day. They were able to trace the van via CCTV and by the time we got there it was too late. No single human, dead or alive. But there was blood in some parts of the rooms. There were a few medical equipment too such as scalpels and dextrose IV, but they all looked cheap and worn out. Scalpels were obviously used to open the body and retrieve the eggs while the dextrose IV was for keeping them alive, at least for as long as they were needed. I recall the police finding some pieces of paper scattered. Written on them was the hospital name and a specific brand of medicine used for egg cell retrieval. That's when the police found out who the culprits were and the crime they committed. I remember how weak I was at that moment. I couldn't move. 

The police brought me back to their station. The head told me who kidnapped my sister and for what purpose. He said they've tried to catch the criminals but all their efforts to catch them ended up as a failure. This is why I know a lot about those bastards. But another thing I couldn't forget was how quickly they dismissed the case. They said they were sorry and shit. I didn't need that. What I needed was for them to actually do something to find my sister. But since they always failed, they just gave up and stopped trying. And that, that was the moment I knew I couldn't trust the police. My sister is most likely dead already but that doesn't stop me from getting revenge and putting an end to their crime.

From then on, I've been keeping a close eye on the news to find out which city they're staying. When a huge amount of women gets kidnapped in a city, that's where they are.

Those six guys you just met out there? They didn't have to go with me. But they wanted justice served as well. And if the ones in authority can't do that, then we will. " Jaehyun had his jaw clenched and his hands in tight fists. You didn't know what to say.

"That's why I was so happy to see you that night, to see you get out of there alive. It's like I've seen hope in a physical form. You were the last confirmation we needed to prove that they're staying in Chinatown. We had a hunch but we weren't 100% sure, until I saw you right outside." He said with a slight smile which you were very thankful to see. He's been so emotional so seeing his smile and dimples showed you that he was better now.

"You told me the big day is coming soon. What do you mean-"

"We will finally catch them red-handed. Ever since we suspected that they're in Chinatown, Winwin started working as a waiter for a restaurant there to get info. He's Chinese so they won't even suspect about him."

"He's a spy? That's so cool!"

"Yeah, you can say that. However, we're not gonna attack them there. It's their turf and going there to catch them would be less advantageous for us."

"So where will you do it?"

"Once they arrive at their partner hospital. With that, it's like hitting two birds with one stone. According to the intel Winwin gathered, the criminals make their delivery to the hospital every Monday at 10 in the morning. Yukhei and Doyoung have been working as janitors in the hospital for three weeks now. Same with Winwin, to gather info particularly about the IVF department and their head doctor. The rest of us will enter the hospital under the pretense of getting a check-up. There will be two groups: one will wait for them at the hospital parking lot and get hold of the egg cells and the second group consisting of Yukhei, Doyoung, and I, will catch the head doctor and leader of the criminals in the act of exchanging money."

"My heart is racing." You whispered as you held your chest.

"Why?" 

"I'm excited for you guys! Can I come with you?" You squealed.

"Of course not. It's dangerous."

"Thought so. I support you and your friends. But as I mentioned before, the police exist for a reason. This is actually their job. What are you planning after catching them?"

Jaehyun just pursed his lips in response.

"You have to surrender them to the police. I'm sorry, Jaehyun. I understand your anger towards them but even if you successfully pull off this entire plan, you have no right to arrest them. You can catch them, yes. But in the end, the police are the only ones who can put them in jail."

"I agree. I grudgingly agree, Y/N. But yes, you're right." Jaehyun before letting out a sigh.

"I wanna help in this operation. I can go to the police station on the day itself, just give me the go-signal." You said excitingly.

"What? Are you sure you wanna get involved in this?" 

"Jaehyun, I've been involved in this the moment they kidnapped me. And I want them arrested so I want to help in any way I can. Please let me?" 

Jaehyun found you cute with your little pout and wide pleading eyes that he couldn't help but agree.

"F-fine. But that's all you have to do. Nothing more. Got it?"

"Yes, boss!" You exclaimed while clasping your hands together in excitement.

"Boss?"

"Yup! That's what you are. You're the boss of this whole operation. You have something that pulls people to you and your cause. Your friends and now even me who you just met last week." You said with an embarrassed laugh. You felt blush forming in your cheeks and you instantly looked away from Jaehyun.

"You're unbelievably energetic about this. I thought you would be more afraid after I tell you everything." Now it was Jaehyun's turn to laugh.

"Well, I won't deny that I was very afraid. But listening to your plan, I think we have a good chance of catching them."

"Of course." Jaehyun smirked. "Well, we need some more planning to do as the big day is three days from now."

"This Monday already?"

"Yep. You can sleep now."

"Okay. Good night and good luck. Get some rest." 

"Good night and..." Jaehyun's voice got weaker as he approached the door, looking at you.

"Hmm?" You asked him to continue.

"Just.. thank you. Thank you for listening and for the support. It means a lot." 

He was incredibly cute with his shy smile, dimples, and the way he scratches the back of his head.

"Don't worry about it. Thank you too."

"Good night." He said before closing the door.

You changed into new clothes and washed your face before going to bed. You could feel your adrenaline increasing just by visualizing Jaehyun's plan. You wanted nothing more than his success.

Monday.

You failed to get a good night's rest the night before due to the thrill and nervousness. Finally, the big and long-awaited day has arrived. You stayed in the gang's apartment for the whole weekend and decided not to attend school today in order to accomplish what you promised to do: inform the police and bring them to the hospital once given the go-signal.

You became good friends with the other boys during the past few days. It was unbelievable to you that they were around the same age as you yet they have dedicated their life to catching a notorious group of criminals. Risking their youth, their lives.

It was seven o' clock in the morning and everyone, including you, were having breakfast while Jaehyun was reviewing the entire plan detail by detail. He was very serious and meticulous about the whole thing. 

After a few minutes, Yukhei and Doyoung left before everybody else to go to the hospital. They're still under the guise of working as janitors. 

You and the other boys had two more hours until you had to leave as well. In those two hours, the apartment was quiet and filled with tension brought about by extreme focus. Every one was in his own room prepping up. 

After you washed the dishes, you decided to peek inside Jaehyun's room. He was practicing his punches and releasing tension with the use of a punching bag. He caught you looking and you instantly walked away.

"Wait!"

"S-sorry. I didn't mean to watch."

"It's okay, it's okay." He waved his hand as he smiled. You still couldn't absorb the fact that a vigilante who has been through so much can have a bright smile that can match that of a normal college student or a boy-next-door kind of guy.

Jaehyun gestured for you to take a seat on the sofa and you obliged.

"So, are you nervous?" He asked.

"Yeah, of course." You chuckled. "You?"

"Same. I won't deny that I'm nervous. I'm scared, even. But this is what I've been waiting and working hard for. So I'm gonna go there with all I've got."

"And this is for her, for your sister." You flashed him an encouraging smile.

"Yes, thanks for the reminder." He nodded. "We need to get dressed up now."

"Okay."

After half an hour, all of you gathered in the living room.

"We're gonna drop Y/N off at the cafe across the police station first before heading to the hospital. She'll go there to inform them once Jungwoo gives the go-signal later."

"Finally! You finally agreed to what we've been saying since last year!" Mark yelled dramatically as Winwin slowly clapped.

"What?" You asked, confused what they were talking about and what they're so dramatic for.

"We've been convincing Jaehyun since last year to let the police help after we successfully catch the criminals, but he's been so stubborn until now." Jungwoo calmly told you.

"Oh.."

"Yeah. All of us have been persuading him but he never listened to us, not even once. Until you're the one who talked to him. All it took was one girl, I see." Mark teased Jaehyun with a smirk.

"Whatever, Mark. Just go downstairs and start the damn engine." Jaehyun said as his ears noticeably got redder and redder, trying to avoid your gaze.

"Aye, aye, captain." Mark replied before leaving.

After grabbing a few drinks, Taeyong, Jungwoo, and Winwin followed right after, leaving you and Jaehyun alone.

"You remember last Friday night? When I told you everything?" Jaehyun asked as he shyly scratched his right ear.

"Yes. Why?"

"I realized.. I talked for such a long time. I was the only one talking that night."

"That's nothing. Don't worry about it. I loved listening to you." You giggled. 

"No. I mean, I'd really want to know more about you. If there's a chance, no, when I get the chance, I'd love to... listen to you talk about yourself or about anything you want."

The fierce and serious Jaehyun was nowhere to be found, all you could see right in front of you was a cute and shy boy who was trying so hard not to stutter.

"Sure! Once this operation is done we can meet again but in less dangerous circumstances. Then we can continue talking." You replied as you felt your heartbeat getting louder by the second.

"Deal. Thanks, Y/N." He said as he stuck out his hand for a handshake.

After fifteen minutes, you arrived right across the designated coffee shop according to the plan. 

"I hope everything goes smoothly. I'll just stay here and wait for Jungwoo's call." You said as you unfastened your seat belt.

"Y/N, just text any of us in case you don't want to do this anymore, okay? It's fine." Jaehyun said with a worried expression as he gently held your left arm.

"Don't worry about me, Jaehyun. I have the most minor part in this job." You scoffed. "See you all later."

"She's headstrong." Jungwoo said as they all watched you enter the cafe.

"How else do you think she made it out of there alive." Jaehyun said proudly before driving again.

"So, have you told her?" Taeyong asked while they were stopped at the intersection.

"Huh? Told her what?" Jaehyun asked as he looked at Taeyong through the rear view mirror.

"That you like her, duh." Winwin sassed.

"I'm.. what are you talking about? I don't."

"For fuck's sake, Jae. Just admit it!" Taeyong exasperatedly said as he rubbed his hands on his face. 

"But seriously, dude. You do like her. We're not asking you, we're telling you." Jungwoo innocently insisted.

"Fine. I admit it. Happy now?" Jaehyun said before rolling his eyes, causing Mark to holler loudly and the rest to laugh.

"Okay, but wait. Why didn't you confess to her before this? She's been living with us since Friday. What if something happens to us? To you? You know there's a chance you might not get out alive after this, right?" Taeyong asked and silence ensued.

"That's why I need to get out alive after this. That's why I need to live. I didn't confess to her, yes. But I told her..."

"What? What did you tell her?" Mark asked excitedly.

"Nothing. I just.. I told her that I want to know more about her? Yeah, stuff like that. We made a deal that after we successfully pull off this mission, we'll meet again and then I can listen to her talk all day about anything."

"Woah, that's so sweet, man!" Mark exclaimed and Jaehyun instantly got embarrassed.

"Way to go, dude. Way to go." Taeyong said as he patted his friend's shoulder.

They enjoyed their conversation too well that they didn't realize the hospital was already in sight.  They were able to smoothly pass the security guard, telling him that they're here to get an x-ray. They went straight to the lowest floor of the parking building. According to Yukhei and Doyoung, the criminals always park their van there whenever they make deliveries.

"There are only a few cars here. Won't we get caught? It'll be harder to hide." Winwin asked after they parked their own van a few meters from the entrance.

"No. Don't worry. Yukhei said the bastards do their transactions so quickly it doesn't even take twenty minutes. They're focused on doing it so quickly that they don't even check to see if anyone's after them." Jaehyun replied.

After a few more minutes of waiting, the van they've been waiting for finally arrived. Jaehyun's grip on the steering wheel got tighter and tighter the more he looked at the vehicle.

"Jae, calm down." Taeyong commanded.

"No need to worry about me. I'm fine." He replied before he carefully got out of his seat, which signaled to the others to do the same.

It's finally time.

They hid in the dark spot of the basement behind a car until the leader of the criminals got on the elevator on his way to the IVF department.

Once he was out of sight, Winwin ran to the remaining men who were busy taking out boxes of egg cells from the van. He struck the first blow using his baton and swift moves, taking down two of the men. He was quickly followed by Jungwoo and Taeyong who took down four others with their tasers and nunchucks. They had the upper hand but the enemies were resilient and had to be attacked again and again, taking their time and energy.

They handcuffed all the six criminals as quickly as possible to make sure that they won't escape. While all of this occurred, Jaehyun inspected the ten boxes to check if the contents were really egg cells, and they were. He felt weak and disgusted but at the same time more determined. They caught the minions, only the leader and the head doctor are left now.

He was waiting for the elevator when he called Doyoung.

"Hey. Jungwoo, Winwin, and Taeyong have successfully caught the guys down here. How about you? What's the status there?"

"The leader just arrived and is waiting for the head doctor now as he sits in the reception area. I've successfully placed the audio recorder under the doctor's desk. Both Yukhei and I can hear their conversation real time as well. I've also installed a mini CCTV." 

"Great. I'm just waiting for the elevator. How many people are there?"

"Only him, the doctor who's yet to arrive, me, and Yukhei. The doctor always makes sure there are no other people when the leader is here. No patients, not even nurses. We're just here at the restroom pretending to clean up that's why he's doesn't know we're here."

"Okay. I'll go up now. See you." Jaehyun said before hanging up. 

He was alone in the lift. A short moment of solidarity before the climax begins. He thought of his sister, his friends, and you. Jaehyun was not afraid of dying, his friends might be, but he never was. The moment he decided to chase the criminals who killed his sister, he knew he was playing with danger, with death. But you came into his life that night and for some reason, he always ended up thinking about you. He wanted to protect you all the time. And he did. He watched you go to university in the morning, leave it in the afternoon, and made sure that you always got home safely by evening. He wasn't exactly sure why he did all those or why he felt that way about you. But he just did what his heart told him to do. 

For the first time, he felt excited about living. Not because of his goal of revenge, but because he wanted to spend time with you again. Jaehyun was never the type to be bothered by "what ifs". But you changed that about him. "What if I succeed? What do I do after that? What if I don't succeed? What if I die?" All those thoughts started to pop up in his mind. He didn't know the exact answers to each but the one thing he was certain about was that he will meet you again, for sure. But this time, it will be without fear of danger or anything. Just pure happiness and curiosity because of his desire to know you more. That thought made him smile to himself right before the elevator opened. 

The floor was pristine yet very quiet. No human presence, at least at that moment. He went straight to the restroom to meet with his accomplices. 

"Are you ready?" Jaehyun asked the two.

"Are you?" Yukhei asked back to which Jaehyun replied with a smirk.

"We have to hurry. The doctor came out to meet him just now." Doyoung slightly panicked as he listened to his earpiece.

The three of them peeked through the corner of the glass wall surrounding the reception area where the doctor and the leader were talking. They waited until they saw the doctor hand over a white thick envelope containing the cash payment. While waiting, Jaehyun texted Jungwoo their current status and instructed him to tell you that it's already okay to inform the police. Jungwoo replied with a thumb up emoji. 

Right after that, the three of them barged in. Doyoung quickly handcuffed the doctor while Jaehyun and Yukhei stood closely against the leader, with their nightsticks on hand and ready for combat. Doyoung locked the doctor up in his office and eventually joined his two friends.

"Who the fuck are you? You're all too young to be part of the police." The leader asked as he removed his jacket, preparing for battle as well.

"It's because we're not part of the police." Yukhei said.

"We're better than them." Jaehyun hissed and took the opportunity to strike the first attack the moment he saw a glimpse of confusion from the leader.

He hit him hard in the face with the end of his nightstick. Or so he thought. The leader's nose was bleeding but he was still standing firmly. He hit Jaehyun in the stomach and it was Yukhei and Doyoung's turn to attack him. Those two were good fighters, all of Jaehyun's friends are. But the leader who was in his mid-30s was a better fighter. Jaehyun. Yukhei, and Doyoung was able to put up with him for a good five minutes until the leader injured Doyoung's arm, causing it to be immobile and for Doyoung to let out a loud yet short scream.

Yukhei and Jaehyun exerted all their efforts and combat knowledge to heavily injure the man but to no avail. He was able to hold Yukhei by the neck, suffocate him, and throw him against the glass reception table.

Jaehyun looked at his two injured friends lying on the ground, almost unconscious and trying to move but couldn't. Fear was starting to envelope his heart as he realized that he was now left alone to stand against the criminal across him. But he reminded himself that if he lets fear consume him, he will surely die right there and then.

"I'm gonna ask again. Who the fuck are you? If you're not the police, then why are you here risking your life to stop me?"

"Because of her." Jaehyun hissed as he quickly took out a picture of her older sister. "Do you remember her? You kidnapped her April of last year. You kidnapped my sister and I'm here to serve justice to her death."

"Hmm, no. I don't remember her. I've seen too many women that I can't remember any of them." The leader scoffed as he wiped blood dripping from his nose. 

This caused Jaehyun to shut down everything surrounding him and focus on one goal: kill this guy. He had no intention of killing him but the fact that this criminal had no remorse regarding what he's doing caused Jaehyun to snap. 

His mind and body worked quickly together to help him remember all the martial arts and self-defense lessons he's been taking this past year. He moved with such ease and strength, too fast for the leader to see which resulted to him getting punched and kicked repeatedly without being able to fight back. 

Jaehyun's nightsticks were now covered in blood but clearly, he had no intention of stopping.

"J-jaehyun.. stop that.." Doyoung said weakly but Jaehyun paid no attention. 

The leader was now lying on the ground, his face was almost distorted and full of blood. Jaehyun was about to give him the last hit until he heard your cries.

"No! Jaehyun, stop! Put that down!" You pleaded as you cautiously approached.

Jaehyun slowly turned his head to look at you and he saw tears on the verge of falling from your eyes while your hands were clasped together as if you were praying. He put down his arm and nightstick and stood up to go to the side so the police can finally handcuff the leader. The other police officers unlocked the doctor's office and arrested him as well. Medics arrived on the scene and quickly placed Yukhei and Doyoung on stretchers.

You watched Jaehyun closely the entire time, your eyes never leaving him. He stood still and just looked at his bloody hands. You're not the only one who found what he did unbelievable, he himself felt the same way. 

It’s been a week since Jaehyun and his friends caught the criminals. The police interrogated all seven of them one by one but ultimately decided to let the damages slide because at the end of the day, nothing could change the fact that they stopped the criminals from victimizing more women and married couples.

You were worried about them and started to consider them as friends, and so you’ve been visiting them after school this past week, bringing food and drinks. They were all there except Yukhei who was still confined in the hospital, he’s the one who had the most number of injuries. Doyoung was confined for a day and now had a cast around his arm.

It was Saturday morning when you asked Mark about their individual plans now that they’ve already succeeded with their goal as a group.

“I’m looking into entering college.” Mark said as he chewed on the sandwich you brought. “Winwin is gonna go back to China but will still visit here a few times a year. Jungwoo and Doyoung will continue studying while Taeyong is already looking for work. He doesn’t wanna study.”

“Oh. It's good that you all have plans..." You said as you hesitated whether to ask the next question or not. But you still did. "H-how about Jaehyun?”

“To be honest? I don’t know. He’s been so fixated on catching those criminals and getting revenge that he never talked about what his plan would be after this. He’s not really talking to us either. He just stays in his room and just goes out if he needs to.”

“He’s like that to you guys, too? I thought I’m the only he’s giving the silent treatment. But why? Is he mad or something?”

“No, not really. He just... he’s just confused about something.” Mark said with a pitiful smile.

“Confused? About what?”

“It would be for the best if you hear it from him. It’s not for me to tell you.” He flashed you a knowing smile before standing up, leaving you alone and confused. You heard Winwin and Jungwoo holding back their laughter as they sat on the couch.

“Well, I guess I just have to wait until he actually wants to talk to me. I gotta go. Give... give him his sandwich, okay?”

“Of course. We give him all the food you make for him, don’t worry.” Mark replied.

“I know I can trust you.” You told him as you fist bumped each other. “Bye guys!”

“Bye! See you and take care!” The other boys said as they waved at you.

Yes. Jaehyun hasn’t talked to you since that day. After the hospital checked him for any injury and later on going to the station for the interview with the police, he drove you home and asked again and again whether you were hurt in any way. He was so worried about you. You saw it on his face and heard it in his voice and it made you feel fuzzy and warm all over. He texted you messages of good night, thank you, and sorry right before you slept but since then, you haven’t heard directly from him. Even when you visited their apartment every day, he never got out of his room and showed himself to you. 

As you walked to the bus station on your way home, you kept asking yourself again and again if you did something that caused him to act this way, if you were the one to blame.

“Open up.” Mark said as he knocked on Jaehyun’s room after you left. “She left already.”

Jaehyun slowly opened the door to find his sandwich on a plate that Mark held up to his face.

“No need to put it so close to my face, dummy.” Jaehyun said grumpily, taking the plate and putting it down on the table to eat.

“How long are you gonna do this? We can handle this and we know how you are. But her? She has no idea why you’re giving her the cold shoulder.”

“I don’t know what to do. I can’t just act like nothing happened. She... she saw how violent I was. I almost killed that bastard in front of her.” Jaehyun confessed, rubbing his right hand on his face frustratingly. 

“Do you think she still thinks about that? She’s worried about you and actually makes an effort to take care of you and to see you. If she’s afraid of what she saw back there in that hospital, you think she’ll still come here? Bring us food? Ask how you are?” Taeyong joined in the conversation.

“I’m telling you. I don’t know what to do! It’s like I’m pushed against the wall here-“

“Listen. Another girl like her might not come your way again. With the lifestyle and background we have? It’s almost impossible to find someone who would accept us. So take your chance now or regret it forever.” Taeyong advised to his friend as he held Jaehyun’s shoulder firmly, showing his sincerity.

The whole house was listening and suddenly the atmosphere was filled with silence and seriousness.

“Fine. I’ll do it. I’ll talk to her, okay? Just stop nagging.” Jaehyun said as he scratched his head embarrassingly before heading back to his room with his unfinished sandwich.

He spent the next half an hour practicing the words he wanted to tell you. In the end, he just gave up and believed that practicing wouldn't help him anyway. He just decided to tell you whatever was in his mind and heart. He retrieved his phone to send you a text, fingers shaking a little as he typed. 

"Hi Y/N. How are you? I'm so sorry for not replying lately. Are you available to meet me at the park in around half an hour? If not, it's alright. We can schedule it for another time :)"

Jaehyun let out a loud sigh as he laid down on his bed after he saw the text was delivered. Nervously waiting for your answer.

You just arrived home when you got his text, heart skipping a beat when you saw his name on your screen. You read the text again and again and jumped for joy. It took around three minutes before you composed yourself to send a proper reply.

"Hey Jaehyun. Long time no talk! Sure. See you at the park :)"  

You quickly left the house again after sending your text. As you walked briskly, you realized how much you missed Jaehyun despite not talking for only a week. It wasn't a long time but for some reason, you felt like it was. Your heart was beating so fast because of happiness, excitement, and overwhelming adoration for the boy.

After ten minutes, you got to the huge park and bought a cold drink from the vending machine to refresh yourself before taking a seat at one of the benches. There were only a few people at the same place, a pair of mother and daughter and some friends and couples. You took some sips, did a few inhale-exhale exercises, and simply observed your surroundings to calm yourself. 

You checked your phone to see if Jaehyun replied. You read his message, "I know.. I'm so sorry about that T__T Okay, see you!" You couldn't help but laugh at his cuteness and wonder how someone as fierce as him was also an actual cutie.

Another ten minutes later, Jaehyun arrived at the park as well, panting and gasping for air. When he got your text, he immediately dressed up and brushed his teeth. He didn't even have a chance to look at his friends' faces to say goodbye properly. But they were happy for him, very happy and wishing him all the luck in the world.

Upon entering the park, he walked slowly as he looked around trying to find you. He instantly stopped in his tracks when he saw your back facing him, sitting at one of the benches right across. His heart beat got louder and louder to the point that it was almost the only thing he could hear. He just looked at you for a good half a minute and that's when he realized that it was now or never. 

"Another girl like her might not come your way again.. take your chance now or regret it forever.”  

He could hear Taeyong's words again and he eventually started taking steps to reach you. With every step, he started to smile more and more, feeling his heart calm down. 

He carefully took the spot on the bench next to you, not announcing his arrival at all and just sat there with a bright smile showing his dimples.

"Oh, I'm sorry but I'm waiting for som-" You quickly said until you realized that he was that someone you were waiting for.

Your lips were slightly apart in shock. You were pretty unsure what you were being shocked for as you were very well aware that Jaehyun was on his way to meet you. But you just sat there looking at him without making any single movement.

"Hey, Y/N. Are you okay?" He asked as he moved an inch closer to you, snapping you back to reality in an instant.

"Oh, yes. Yes, I am. Sorry about that. I just.. Maybe I'm just so surprised to see you this up close again since that day last week?" You said with an embarrassed laugh as you fanned yourself, looking away from him and feeling your cheeks become red by the second.

"Yeah, about that." It was Jaehyun's turn to get flustered. "I'm really sorry for not returning any of your calls and texts... and for not showing myself even when you're the one who makes the extra effort to visit us." Jaehyun said as he fiddled with his fingers.

"Is that why you asked to meet me here? To say.. sorry?" You asked gently, making sure that you didn't sound mean.

"Y-yes. But not only for that. But also for..." Jaehyun took a deep breath and clasped his hands tightly. "For what you saw in the hospital.. that day." It took everything in him to bring it up again while looking you directly in your eyes.

"What I saw?" You asked before letting out a sigh once you realized what he was referring to. 

"I never wanted you to see that side of me. The violent-"

"Stop right there, Jaehyun. You don't have to apologize for anything. That bastard deserved that. It was your pure rage and desire for revenge that pushed you to do what you did, to be that violent. But you don't have to feel sorry. I understand why you did that and how you felt that time." You assured him.

"You do?" Jaehyun was so pleasantly surprised and happy to hear that from you. It's always his friends who understand him so hearing it from you made him smile brightly again.

"I do! I never had a hard time understanding you, Jaehyun. But I don't want you beating yourself up because of what happened. I.. I want to help you move on. But only if you will let me." You could feel your heart beat race again, anxiously waiting for what he might say in response and fearful that you were starting to sound a bit intrusive.

Jaehyun looked at you in awe before laughing heartily. It was your first time to see and hear him laugh this much and it was a lovely sight and probably the best thing you've ever heard. His eyes forming crescent moons and his dimples deeper than ever. However, as much as you loved looking at him and listening to his laughter, you were very confused. What was so funny?

"God, I like you. I really like you. I like you so much." He said as he recovered from his laughing fit, wiping some tears forming in his eyes, voice a bit weaker than before.

"S-sorry, what?" You wanted to make sure you heard him correctly.

Jaehyun looked at you and gave you a genuine smile before answering, "I said I like you so much."

"Oh, thanks.. I guess?" You said as you looked away, unsure if he meant it romantically or he likes you so much but just as a friend.

"As more than a friend." Jaehyun suddenly said like he was reading your mind.

You slowly turned to look at him again before he went on, "I like you, Y/N. So much. But I don't know what to do with these feelings. It's the first time I've felt this way and honestly?I'm totally clueless. I'm so sorry about that. Who would want a boy so clueless about romance and love anyway-"

"I like you too." You said with a smile.

"What? Say that again. Please?" Jaehyun excitedly asked, stopping himself from hugging you on the spot.

"I said I like you too!" You chuckled as you playfully hit his shoulder. "Ever since you saved my life." You took his hands and gently massaged his bruised knuckles. 

"You really have no issue with my past?" 

"Hmm? I don't. None at all. If not for your plan of revenge and me becoming one of their victims, we wouldn't have met." You said with a laugh, doing your best to assure him that you're here to stay.

"Can..." He began as he scratched his neck, a habit of his when he's nervous or shy.

"Hmm?"

"Can.. can I hug you?" He asked with a cute smile and a lip bite, making you fall even more with the charm of his dimples. You found it so endearing that he was asking permission for a hug.

Instead of giving a verbal answer, you're the one who initiated the hug which surprised him. 

"You smell so good." He purred into your shoulder after he hugged you back very tightly.

"You too." You chuckled.

"Remember when I said that I want to know more about you?" He asked, still not letting go of you.

"Mhm."

"Well then, where do you wanna go for our first date?"

"Today?" 

"Yup!" He said cutely.

"Well, there's a newly-opened cake shop around that block."

"Let's go?" He asked as he finally let go of you, giving you a good view of his sparkling eyes full of excitement and happiness. So different from before when they were full of anger, revenge, and pain.

You squished his face with both of your hands, "Let's go, Mr. Breadface."

"Mr. What?"

"Breadface. That's my nickname for you, you squishy dimpled loaf of fluffy bread!" You exclaimed as you squished his face even more.

"Okay, if that's what you want to call me." He said with an exaggerated sigh as if giving up a fight, earning him a laughter from you. He caressed your face while watching you laugh. 

As you were walking out of the park, he slowly held your hand and thought to himself that you were the one he's been waiting for. The person who has brought peace to his complicated and dangerous life. 

a/n: sorry if it’s too cheesy! T__T
