You used to be scared of butterflies.

You used to be scared of butterflies.

You used to be scared of butterflies.

Yes, the thought of it is silly, but you were. You didn’t like bugs at all, the pretty ones included. The thought of them crawling on your skin made you ill. But there was one thing you loved, and that was your friend, Mark. And unlike you, Mark loved butterflies. So when he asked you to go to a butterfly exhibit with him, you sucked it up and said yes.

And you realized that day that butterflies were beautiful. They were harmless, and you giggled as they landed on you, excitedly showing Mark as you conquered your fear of them. Mark helped you conquer a lot of your fears.

And ever since he left, you felt more fearful than ever. Losing him made you realize how fragile life really was, and you hated it. You hated feeling like everything was on the verge of being lost.

“You good?” you jump at the sound of Jaemin’s voice in your ear. You blink, realizing you had completely zoned out. You were sitting next to him on the bus to school. You quickly glance out the window once more. The butterfly you had been admiring was gone.

You nod. “I’m okay. Just tired.” you respond.

Jaemin grins and grabs onto your hand. “Okay. Just checking in.” he says softly. “Um, we’re all gonna get food after school if you wanna come. It’s just a really nice day, it’d be a shame not to go out in it, you know?”

Truth be told, you had been feeling weird lately, and going out with your friends (or, to be more accurate — your boyfriend and his friends that you were friends with by association) was probably what you needed. “That sounds nice.”

The bus had arrived at school. Jaemin stands and picks up his bag, letting you out in front of him. You exit the bus and you’re met with the warm air enveloping you, the sun hitting your eyes and making you squint. Jaemin exits the bus as well, his frame blocking the sun from blinding you. He puts his arm around you, and you grab onto his hand out of instinct.

“Hey guys, got room for more?” you feel another arm around your shoulder.

“Hyuck, no. You’re gross.” Jaemin groans, rolling his eyes.

Hyuck gasps dramatically. “That’s mean. You didn’t even consult with your girlfriend first.”

You smile. “Sorry, Hyuck. But I’m only interested in Jaemin.” you tell him.

Hyuck removes his arm from your shoulder and crosses his arms. “What a low blow…” he mutters. Hyuck was your childhood friend. He grew up with you and Mark. He was like a happy virus, and you weren’t sure if you would have survived losing Mark if he hadn’t been there for you.

You giggle. “Sorry to break your heart.”

“You’d think after months of being rejected he’d give up, but he’s a trooper.” Jaemin adds.

Hyuck rolls his eyes this time. “It’s only because you guys are gross and kissy-kissy in public. We’re in school,” he says, moving away from his spot next to you. He puts himself in between you and Jaemin. “Leave room for Jesus.”

“Oh my god, Hyuck,” you laugh. “You are so annoying. You’re lucky you’re my best friend.” you tell him.

Hyuck grins and sticks out his tongue, turning down a hallway as you guys pass it. “You’re damn right you’re lucky,” he calls. “I’ll see you guys later!”

Jaemin shakes his head, laughing. “He’s such a weirdo. Love him, though.”

You reach your locker and lean against it. “He is. You learn how to deal with him after so long. I’ll meet you outside the entrance doors after school. Do you guys know where you’re going to eat?”

Jaemin leans up against the locker next to yours. “Nah, not yet. We’ll figure it out before the day ends.” he tells you. “You have a good day, alright?” he pecks your cheek.

You smile. “I will.” Jaemin gives you one last grin before turning and continuing down the hallway.

[12:39 p.m.]

“What kind of weird shit do you read at night?” Naeun asks, scowling at Jiwoo.

“It’s not weird!” Jiwoo cries, turning her phone screen towards the dark-haired girl. “There’s real proof!”

“What are you guys talking about?” you ask, taking a seat next to Naeun.

“Apparently there’s an app that can change your fate,” Sungyeon speaks up, holding back a laugh. “Jiwoo found it.”

Jiwoo turns her attention towards you. “See! You’ll believe me, right?” she turns her phone to you.

You furrow your brows and decide not to answer her question. You read the article she had pulled up.

According to the 13-year-old who downloaded the app, ButterFly, his wish came true a mere 3 hours after sending it into the ButterFly HQ. The young boy wished for his cat to come back to life, who had been dead for nearly a month. A few hours later, a cat showed up at the boy’s window. It was identical to the one the boy had.

ButterFly, a self-proclaimed life changing app has been growing in popularity as people hope to change their past. But the real question is, does this app really change a life or is it simply coincidence?

“Jiwoo…” you say softly.

“Come on,” she whines. “I can’t be the only one who thinks it could actually be real!”

“I’m afraid you are.” Sungyeon tells her, taking a bite of her food. “It’s just a coincidence. The only success story they have is something so… normal.”

“If they want to impress me, they have to come up with something way more exciting than a kid finding his cat.” Naeun says.

Jiwoo pouts, turning off her phone. “But… it’d just be so cool if it was real.”

“I agree, but an app should never be trusted for something like that. Plus, if an app had the powers to change the trajectory of someone’s life, wouldn’t the butterfly effect happen?” you asked.

“She’s right,” Naeun says. “Fate is not something to play around with.”

Dejected, Jiwoo surrenders and turns her attention back to finishing her lunch.

“What is that again?” Sungyeon asks. “The butterfly effect?”

“The idea that even tiny changes can make huge and unexpected changes,” you explain. “Like a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a typhoon.”

“Hmm,” Sungyeon hums. “That’s interesting.”

“Yeah, like if Jiwoo was born as a boy, maybe she’d be dating you and you’d be a millionaire for some reason.” Naeun takes a drink from her water bottle.

“What?” Sungyeon cringes.

“Hey, what’s that face for?” Jiwoo cries. “I think I’d be a cute boy.”

You laugh and shake your head as your friends continue to playfully banter about who would be the cutest boy in a parallel universe.

[3:30 p.m.]

You stand by the entrance doors, rocking back and forth on your heels. You try not to look too awkward as you wait for Jaemin and his friends. You wave to Naeun as she leaves, and are relieved when Jaemin appears a few moments later. He immediately spots you and makes his way to you, smiling. His friends, Jeno and Renjun walk behind him with Hyuck, loudly talking about something.

“Hi,” Jaemin says. “Did you have a good day?”

You grin. “It was fine. How about you?” you start walking away from school, taking hold of his hand.

“It was good. I have some annoying homework, but…” he trails off.

Renjun suddenly runs past you, turning around with a disgusted look on his face. “Hyuck, for the last time, I will not hold your hand!”

You turn your head to see a pouty Hyuck. “I just wanted to fit in!”

You laugh and roll your eyes, turning your head back towards the sidewalk in front of you. You all make your way to a nearby restaurant. You sat next to Jaemin in a booth and Jeno, Renjun, and Hyuck all squeezed into the one across from you. You all ordered drinks.

“Oh, Jaemin,” Jeno says, picking his bag up from the floor. He pulls out a notebook and hands it to Jaemin. “Thanks for your notes.”

Jaemin nods. “No problem.”

“Jeno,” Renjun says, shaking his head. “You’re never gonna learn if you keep copying Jaemin’s notes.”

Jeno shrugs. “It’s not like I do it all the time,” he says, defending himself.

“You borrow my notes, too, though… so Renjun kinda has a point.” Hyuck says, leaning back as the waitress sets his drink down in front of him.

You pull out your phone as the boys argue yet again just to see what was happening on your social media. It was mostly random tweets and posts from people you knew, but there was something that caught your eye. It was a promoted post from ButterFly. It had no likes or anything, despite being promoted to your Twitter timeline. And it wasn’t just one. After a few scrolls, you saw another ad from the app, just with a different caption. You saw another one before shaking your head and exiting the app. You opened Instagram, just to be met with the same ad.

Don’t be afraid. Having the chance to change your fate is much more fun than you think.

The caption sent chills down your spine. It didn’t sound like something that should be promoted. You clicked the link the ad provided, but it simply took you to the app store. Your curiosity was getting the best of you. You wanted to download the app, but something was holding you back.

Jaemin nudged your shoulder, making you jump.

“Huh?” you ask. Everyone’s eyes were on you.

“Do you want something to eat?” Jaemin asked.

“Oh,” you look at the waitress next to the table, notebook and pen in hand. “I’m okay.” you reply.

The waitress nods before turning around and entering the kitchen. You stand up from your seat at the booth. “I need to go to the bathroom.” You shoved your phone into a pocket on your bookbag and rushed to the bathroom.

You shut the door behind you, walking to the sink. You looked at yourself. You looked tired, disheveled. You couldn’t get rid of the feeling you had felt since waking up. You could barely even describe it. It almost felt like dread, but it was more of an unexplainable sadness. Not even being with your friends seemed to help it. You turned on the water, splashing your cheeks with cold water. How had you been so enchanted by the ads of that app that you had become completely oblivious to what was going on around you?

You dried your face before you heard a small knock on the door. “Hey, are you okay?” You opened the door and saw Jaemin. His eyebrows were furrowed in concern.

You forced a smile and nodded. “Yeah, sorry…” you say, stepping out of the bathroom.

“You’ve been acting… strange today. No offense,” Jaemin says.

“None taken,” you sigh. “I know I have. Everything just feels off today, I don’t know why.” You tell him.

Jaemin puts his arm around you and you both begin walking back to the table the others were at. “It’s okay to feel that way… I think everyone does. It just sucks to watch you feel so sad.” Jaemin says. He sighs. “I really hope you start feeling better soon. I miss hearing your laugh.”

You smile. “I miss it too,” you say, reaching the table. Jaemin scoots into the booth and you follow after. You try to ignore the horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach and have a good afternoon with your friends. You ended up starting to feel better. You stole some of Hyuck’s food after panicking and not ordering some of your own. You laughed at everyone’s jokes and dumb arguments, and before you knew it, an hour had passed. You all decided to stop being a bother and leave. You waited outside as everyone paid; Jaemin offered to pay for you since all you got was a drink.

“Are you heading home?” Jeno asked Jaemin.

He nodded. “I’m gonna walk this one home and then head home myself,” he said, resting his head on yours.

Jeno nodded. “I’ll see you tomorrow, then.”

Renjun and Hyuck also waved goodbye. They were all going to Jeno’s. You went your separate ways, and as much as you loved them, you were glad to be alone with Jaemin. Your house wasn’t too far, but even if it was just a few minutes, you were glad to be with him.

“Are you just gonna go home and do homework?” you ask.

Jaemin nods. “Yeah… it’s probably gonna take some time.”

“Sorry baby,” you say. “I’ll facetime you once my mom gets home,” you tell him.

Your mother worked late, so you were in charge of looking after your younger brother, Jisung, until she got home. He was only 2 years younger than you, so it’s not like it was hard, but you still felt obligated to keep tabs on him.

“You don’t have to,” he says. You both walked through your driveway and to the front door. “But if you want to, however… I would love it if you did.” he grins as you open your door.

“Well, then expect a call later,” you say, grabbing both of his hands.

Jaemin leans in and kisses you, and for a second, it feels like everything is okay.

“Gross!” a voice yells. You jump away from Jaemin and turn around.

“Jisung, your sister and her boyfriend are smashing their faces together again!” Chenle, who was standing in the kitchen, yells. Jisung’s pokes his head around the corner.

“Shut up, Chenle.” you say, grinning. “You’re not a child, kissing isn’t that weird.”

You step inside, taking off your shoes and setting your bag down. Jaemin steps in behind you and walks to the kitchen, putting Chenle in a headlock. “You little jerk,” Jaemin teases.

Chenle giggles, trying to get out of Jaemin’s arms. You walk to the living room where Jisung had gone, continuing his video game. “How was your day?” you ask.

“Good.” Jisung says, eyes still glued to the TV.

“That’s good,” you look back to the kitchen and see that Jaemin has released Chenle, and is now talking to him. “Do you have homework?”

Jisung nods. You watch the TV, and watch his character die. Jisung sighs and sets the controller down, turning to you. “Yeah.”

“Okay. Can you try and get it done before Mom gets home?” you ask.

Jisung nods. “Yeah… Chenle and I have the same homework so we can do it together, I guess.”

You nod and go back to the kitchen. Talking to Jisung sometimes felt like talking to a brick wall. “I better get going.” Jaemin says. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

You walk him to the door. “I’ll see you.” you grab both of his hands again, never wanting to let go. Jaemin kisses your cheek and turns.

You bite your lip. Why was this horrible feeling back so suddenly? “Hey, Jaemin?” you call after him. He turns back around.

“I love you.” you say, almost too softly. For a second you weren’t even sure if he heard you, but he gives you that classic smile, the one that made you fall in love with him in the first place.

“I love you too.” he blows you a kiss before walking away.

[9:41 p.m.]

You sat down on your bed, freshly out of the shower. Since Jaemin had left, you helped Jisung and Chenle with their homework, did your own homework, and facetimed Jaemin for a bit while he did his. And then you took a long shower in an attempt to clear your head.

You look around for your phone, finding it hidden in a blanket on your bed. You answer some unread texts and then open Instagram again. You’re met with the same ads from before. Your heart drops.

Without thinking you click the link again, pressing download. It downloaded in no time. Your thumb hovers over the icon of the app. The moment you muster up the courage to click on it, there’s a knock at your bedroom door.

You jump, startled, but get up and open it.

Your mother’s exhausted face greets you. “Hi sweetie. I’m going straight to bed, so… goodnight. I hope you had a good day.”

You smile, shakily exhaling. “Today was fine. Goodnight.” you say, not wanting to delay her sleep anymore.

She gives you a warm smile before going to her room. Before you close your door, Jisung appears from the staircase nearby. “You going to bed?” he asks.

“Uh,” you open your phone, looking at the time.

ButterFlyHQ

Greetings. What is your name?

You ignore the notification. “No… but I’ll probably be in my room for the rest of the night.”

“Oh, okay… well… goodnight then.” he says, going to his room which was right across from yours. He closes the door without another word.

You press your lips together and shut your door as well, laying down on your bed. You opened your phone and clicked on ButterFly.

1 Unread Message

ButterFlyHQ

Greetings. What is your name?

You hesitantly enter your name. You regret it as soon as you responded — maybe you should’ve used a fake name.

ButterFlyHQ

Hello, (y/n).

What do you wish to change?

Wow, straight to the point… You think.

You wonder what you should enter. You try to think of the most outrageous thing you could think of, something completely unimaginable. Something that would surely trigger the Butterfly Effect.

There were things you actually wanted to change.

You wanted your mother to stop being so stressed.

You wanted Jisung to be happy.

You wanted to stop feeling so insecure about you and Jaemin’s relationship.

You wanted Jiwoo to finally pass trigonometry.

Okay, the last one was a bit dumb, and actually imaginable. And then you thought of the most impossible thing.

You

I want my best friend to come back to life.

You almost laugh as you sent the message. But your faint smile fades at the immediate response.

ButterFlyHQ

What is your best friend’s name?

This was suddenly feeling too personal.

You

Mark Lee.

ButterFlyHQ

Understood. We will try our best to meet your request.

You stare at your phone. Now what? You turned your phone off and set it on your nightstand, plugging it into the charger before laying down and staring at the ceiling.

Great, now some random stranger knows some girl thinks an app can bring her friend back from the grave.

When you got the chance, you were gonna chew Jiwoo out for bringing that app up. You get under the covers and close your eyes, trying to sleep. But your mind was racing. You finally feel yourself drifting, your mind finally giving you some peace.

Your last thought before you finally fall asleep is Jaemin. You just wanted to be with him again, his arm around your shoulder, his fingers lazily intertwined with yours. You felt yourself smiling before finally falling asleep, unknowingly saying goodbye to your last normal day.

loona reaction to their crush staring at them lovingly~12/11

<wong gaahei>

this poor child would become so flustered

it would be a bonding moment though, eye contact helps vivi feel closer to people (smh scorpio venuses)

but she would still panic over it a little

attempts to return an act of intimacy/closeness

<ha sooyoung>

teases you relentlessly over it

every time you look at her she’ll give you heart eyes and flutter her eyelashes

interrogates you about it because she wants to fluster you and make you explain why you were looking at her so lovingly

but as you stutter through an explanation she keeps moving her face closer and closer and closer...

<jung jinsoul>

Confused TM

thinks you’re trying to tell her something so she stares back expectantly

then she realizes you were just looking at her and goes O.O

so flattered, will gush over you to anyone who will listen 

questions whether you’re crushing on her as well or if it’s just one-sided even more than before (she’s weird)

<jo haseul>

don’t ever stare lovingly at a leo if you aren’t ready to bare the consequences

cocky to the MAX

engulfs you in a hug or some other sappy shit

thinks you are the cutest being to ever exist

cue the flirting you are now hers <3

<kim jungeun>

starts a different conversation that’s off topic from anything the two of you have ever spoken about

finds it a little cringey (what an aqua) but it also feeds the hopeless romantic in her

attempts to flirt with you in more conventional ways? normally she’s more intellectual and tries to grow close to people but now she’s much more physical/emotional

<kim jiwoo>

coos shamelessly

grabs you and hugs you for being so painstakingly adorable (look who’s talking chuu)

squeals because her crush? is staring at her like that?

how is she supposed to survive?

thinks about it for the rest of the day

<jeon heejin>

her confidence level goes zoop!

immediately becomes more brave with her flirting and attempts at becoming closer to you

because now she has something to go off knowing that at least some type of feelings are reciprocated

spoils you with attention :( big cute

<kim hyunjin>

a little clueless

it’s one of those random moments that she remembers forever

brings it up at some point once you’re (hopefully) in a relationship as a story to tell

trying to get closer to her opens her up a lot because she becomes less insecure or unsure of your feelings, so eye contact is a good way to let hyunjin know you have feelings for her

<park chaewon>

has no idea how to handle this type of attention and says something like “i need crackers”

forgets about it most likely, but it unconsciously registers in her mind

and makes her less nervous about talking to you/thinking about her crush on you

remembers it at 1 a.m. a few days later and lets out a squeal

lippie’s like, “can someone put the pig in its crate”

poor gowon

<choi yerim>

giggles uncontrollably

literally does the *smile and tucks hair behind ear*

is so flattered and happy she doesn’t know what to do with herself

engages in a tickle fight and starts attacking you

probably bites you or something

<son hyejoo>

shy shy shy

tries to play it cool when you’re staring at her like that but sort of has a spasm

which she denies of course, it never happened, no you don’t have that effect on her what are you talking about?

keeps glancing at your eyes constantly because she realizes how pretty they are <3

<im yeojin>

smirks

doesn’t have much of a reaction on the surface, but in reality she’s hyperventilating and wants to faint

freaks out over you

because ?!?! what if you like her back?!? excuse me?!? this is too much!?!

[flooffybits]

Two Faced

Idol: Ha Sooyoung (Loona)

After the long wait, I’m back with this somewhat long Yves scenario. Like I said, it’s different compared to my previous works so I hope it’s okay.

Warning: contains violence, blood, suggestive themes, a bit of non consensual touching

"Will you be busy today?"

The voice causes you to look up and see the source of it, finding your girlfriend standing by the bathroom door with her hair wrapped in a towel after she just finished showering.

You couldn't stop the smile forming on your lips when you saw her. Though she was dressed in your sweats and oversized shirt, she still looked absolutely stunning.

"Well, we can go out for lunch. I won't be needed until two." You answer when you walk up to her, your hands instantly finding her waist and pulling her closer to yourself whilst her own arms go loop around your neck, her fingers gently tangling with your hair as she gazes into your eyes.

A soft smile came to her lips before brushing them against yours, effectively making your heart flutter as you felt her breath hit your skin. "So does that mean breakfast in bed?" She asks teasingly when her index finger trails down your chest and then she’s grabbing your shirt.

Grinning, you let your hands rest on her hips, humming when you're met with her twinkling eyes. "I think we can arrange that."

Instantly, her lips crash against yours in a searing kiss while she pulls you with her, blindly reaching the bed without separating until you have to get rid of the new clothes you'd just put on.

.. 

"Have you ever tried asking Y/n about it?" Jungeun inquired, pointing her spoon at her friend while her brows pinched together.

Sooyoung let out a sigh as she ran her fingers through her hair. "Y/n is busy with work. I've told you this." She said in an exasperated tone. "But what exactly is she doing?" Hyejoo asked before shoving a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth. "We get that she's running a business, but what's it all about?" They added further, tired of having this conversation happening more often than they had liked.

"We're just trying to be careful, Yves. We get that you've been together for almost a year already, but it's just weird how she won't even tell us what she's always up to." Jiwoo frowned at her best friend. "Look, Y/n values privacy. Why do you think it took us so long to get together and even tell anyone? She's had a lot of people using her for her money and I'm respecting her privacy, so I hope you guys can do the same." Your girlfriend explains while rubbing her temple. "She's always tired when she gets home, so I get how she just wants to focus on our relationship instead of work when we're together."

Jungeun let out a frustrated sigh, running her fingers through her hair. "I don't know, Yves. I just think that maybe Y/n could be hiding something from you." Sooyoung had enough when she placed her cup down and scowled at her friends. "I get that you guys don't like her as much because the way we met may not have been the most conventional, but come on. She's trying and you won't give her a chance."

"It's not just that. I mean, okay, a one night stand that eventually turns into a relationship is cliché but Y/n just gives off this weird vibe." Jiwoo explained in defense, doing her best to keep the whole conversation calm. "We know that you and Y/n really like each other, but-"

"I don't just like her."

The three grow quiet at the sudden intervention and stare at their friend whose arms are crossed over her chest and staring at the discarded cup on the table. "I've started to realize that maybe… maybe I'm in love with her." 

"Oh shit." Jungeun rubbed her neck as she leaned back, frowning while the other two looked apprehensive. "You really mean that?" Hyejoo asked carefully and Sooyoung nodded her head firmly, a meaningful look on her face as she regarded her friends. “Y/n has been the kindest and caring person I’ve been with. She gets me and she does whatever she can to make me happy so I don’t want to just butt in on her stuff when I know it stresses her out.” She tells them. “There are times that she talks to me about it and even asks me for advice. I’ve met some of her employees and they’re nice, too.”

Jiwoo blinked in surprise. “You’ve seen her at work?” She asked curiously and Sooyoung nodded again. “She had her bodyguard fetch me from work and brought me there so we could have dinner together.” She explains before Hyejoo is furrowing her brows. “She had her guard fetch you?” She snorted while the older girl rolled her eyes.

“She can’t always be at my every beck and call. We have our own lives.”

“Rich people.” Jungeun shook her head with a scoff and Sooyoung playfully pushed her arm. “It has its advantages.” She tells them, recalling how you’d often visit her whenever your schedule allowed it, then proceed to spoil her with gifts and going on impromptu dates.

Eventually, the conversation shifts to a more lighthearted one and all of the girls forget about their previous worries. But of course, even when she acts like it, Sooyoung has the thought of what the girls told her lingering at the back of her mind.

Why couldn’t her friends just trust you like she did?

..

A little after her hangout with the girls, Sooyoung went home, wanting to just take a shower and lay down while waiting for you to come home. Since it was still early and you usually went home at a later time, she tried to think of what to prepare just in case you were hungry by the time you arrived.

But when she reached the house, she noticed your car parked outside, a sign that you were already home, much to both her delight and confusion.

You were never home before her.

Quietly, she entered the house, locking the door behind her and looking around when she took her shoes off, placing them right next to yours. “Y/n?” She called out, squinting as she tried to locate your whereabouts.

It was way too quiet. Were you asleep?

Thinking about it, she did notice how you seemed more stressed out than usual and how you were so tense.

Then, the talk with her friends rang in her ears again, making her huff and shake her head to shake off such thoughts because she knows that you would never lie to her nor would you do anything to hurt her.

As she crept closer to the bedroom, she began to hear your voice, confusing her further as she reached the door.

Though she knows it’s wrong to eavesdrop, she couldn’t help but listen, wondering if whatever this was, was the cause of all your troubles.

“Look, I don’t care. Find out who it is before I do something about it.” This was the first that she’s heard you sound so agitated and it made Sooyoung frown while she held the doorknob. “Check every group. I don’t care if you have to take them out, just find them and bring them to me.”

The sound of you groaning could be heard before you spoke up again. “What do you want?”

There was a bit of silence before Sooyoung heard your voice. “Alright. As long as you keep an eye on her, it’s fine.” There’s a pause before you let out a sigh. “She’ll probably be home soon, so I can handle things from there.”

Her?

Were you talking about her?

So many questions began to pop up in her head, and before she could even do anything, she had lightly pushed the door open without realizing and you quickly spun around, your free hand behind you whilst you kept the phone against your ear.

Though at the sight of your girlfriend, you quickly soften and let your shoulders relax. “Thank you for the updates. I’ll see you later.” You quickly hung up before a small smile made its way on your features as you tucked your phone away.

“Hey, when did you get here?” You ask while walking over, but Sooyoung eyes you warily. “Just a while ago. I didn’t know you would be early today.” She tells you and you offer a sheepish grin. “There wasn’t much for me, today. After making sure that everything was running smoothly, I decided to go home.”

“And who was that you were talking to?” She asked, making you look at her before blinking slowly. “It was just Minseok. He was giving updates for the project I assigned him with.” You reply as you wrap your arms around her.

Sooyoung’s curiosity lifts a bit at the name of your guard. Since she’s met him a few more times with each visit, she’s been able to befriend the male, and she also trusts that he was looking after you whenever you were working and she couldn’t do it, herself.

“He was also asking about you.” Your voice cuts through her train of thought. “Huh?” Showing a smile, you chuckle before pressing a kiss to her cheek. “He’s been nagging at me, since I’m early, he told me to relax with you more.” You explain and Sooyoung felt a bit more at ease now that she knew why you were talking about her.

The other one may have been work related, she thinks, so she lets it go. Her smile grows wider while her hands gently rest on your shoulders. “Well, he’s not wrong. You need a breather, especially with how tense you’ve been with your job.” She tells you in a gentle tone that makes you smile and nod your head.

“Well, since you’re home and I’m actually early, how about I whip something up for us to eat?” You suggest and her face lights up as she leaves your arms. “Let me freshen up!”

As she races to the bathroom, she misses you when you walk over to your nightstand and slip your things inside the drawer, making sure that everything is in place before changing into more comfortable clothing then heading out to the kitchen.

After she finishes getting dressed, Sooyoung looks at herself in the mirror and smiles when she's done fixing her hair and then makes her way out to see what you were up to.

She could already hear the sound of pans clattering, as well as the food being cooked. The smell that entered her nose was amazing as soon as she stepped into the kitchen, making her stomach grumble. It's been a while since you've last cooked something due to you both always opting to eat out due to your late arrival at home.

"What are you making?"

You glance at her and send a wink before lowering the heat down just so the food doesn't burn. "From what I can recall, it happens to be my girlfriend's favorite." Sooyoung makes a look of disbelief, a hand going to her chest as she playfully clutches her heart. "You have a girlfriend and yet you're sneaking around with me?" She questions, making you snort in amusement but play along with her little charade.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm only cooking for you. I would never hurt my girlfriend, she's too precious for me to do so." Your words make her drop her act as she smiled at you, playing with the sleeve of her shirt when she looked at you through her lashes.

"She must be a very lucky girl." She says softly and you watch her with a tender gaze before walking over and gently taking her chin between your thumb and forefinger, lifting her head while your other hand runs through her hair. "If I'm being honest, I think I'm the lucky one between us."

When you cup her cheek, she leans against your hand whilst you press your forehead against hers as she shuts her eyes, just breathing in your scent and basking in the warmth and love you provided for her.

"I love you so much."

Her words are hushed, almost inaudible, but you hear them, clear as day. And despite your surprise, you can't help the smile that formed on your face before pushing forward to press your lips against hers.

It's soft and slow, both of you taking your time to enjoy the kiss with your lips moving perfectly against each other. Her hands grip at your shirt while yours remain on her cheeks, holding each other close until air becomes an issue.

But even when you pull your head back, the happiness still lingers in the air, your eyes bright and mimicking the joy in your girlfriend's eyes. "I love you, too."

After setting the food on the table, you sit across each other and just talk about your day. And since you knew that she had gone out with friends, you decide to ask her how they are.

“Did you have fun?” She hums when she looks up from her food and then smiles. “Yeah, they’ve been asking me if we could hang out more.” She answers while you chew on your food, brows raised. “You’re going out again, tomorrow?” She shrugs her shoulders in reply while you purse your lips, something she doesn’t miss. “Is that going to be a problem?” She inquires and you blink before shaking your head immediately.

“No! No, of course not. I was just thinking that maybe you shouldn’t go out too frequently. You know how dangerous things have been.” You tell her, but it seems as though that wasn’t the answer she was hoping for. “I’m going to be with friends, Y/n, I’m sure we’ll be fine.”

You carefully place your chopsticks down and stare at your girlfriend, thinking about what you were supposed to say without possibly angering her. “Yves, I just don’t think it’s a good idea. Maybe the weekend would be better.” You try to reason with her, but it doesn’t work. “Y/n, it’s just a day. Plus, I don’t want to stay cooped up at home all the time.”

“I’m telling you that you can go out, just not tomorrow, though.” You clarify, yet the conversation continues. “Why? I haven’t seen the girls in a while because I spend most of my time either at work or with you! They think you’re controlling my life and I have to defend you, again!” She doesn’t realize it when her voice grows louder, yet you keep a calm expression on while watching her, keeping a level head instead of matching her anger.

“Yves, please understand that I’m just looking after you.” You tell her as calmly as possible. “In my line of work, people do what they can to get what they want. It just so happens that there are people who want to take the work I’ve made.” You explain while meeting her eyes and watching as she slowly calms herself down.

She takes a few breaths before you continue. “Rival companies are mad at me because I’m doing better. And recently, I found out that someone from my company has been selling information about my business which is why I want to lay low. They know who you are so there’s a chance that they’ll try to get to you to get me.” You tell her, and finally, it dawns on her why you’ve been so stressed lately.

Sooyoung knew that you were working in a strict company but she didn’t realize that there were some things that you would experience where people would actually play dirty just to push you down.

And seeing the meaningful look on your face, she couldn’t help but feel guilty for her outburst.

“I… didn’t know you were going through something like that.” She breathed out. “I’m sorry.”

But you show her a smile to assure her that everything was fine. “It’s alright. I’m sorry for seeming unreasonable and paranoid.”

..

Sooyoung watches you get ready for work and smiles while handing you your bag. “Are you sure I can’t just come to work with you again?” She asks while fixing the collar of your shirt and you smile while shaking your head. “Sorry, baby, but things are too hectic right now.” You say apologetically before pecking her lips. “I’ll make it up to you when I get home.” You tell her before grabbing your keys.

She watches you drive off before going back into the house and shutting the door behind her. She’s left with a quiet and empty home with nothing to do. She could always watch something or read a book, maybe just invite the girls, instead.

But before she could decide on anything, her phone starts ringing and Jiwoo’s name flashes on the screen. She already knows why the other was calling and she knows that this would not end well, given what they had talked about the last time they spoke.

“Hey! What time are you coming over?” The girl asked cheerfully, unaware of the bad news her friend was about to give her. “Hyejoo managed to convince her girlfriend to come along then Jinsoul is coming, too.” She went on excitedly and Sooyoung bit her lip while she tried to think of a way to make her friend understand why she can’t go.

Thinking about it, she didn’t really have to stay at home. She could just stay with the girls and she wouldn’t have to worry about people coming to her. But then again, she did tell you that she would see them another time instead.

She was conflicted. Though she did want to see the girls, she didn’t want to go behind your back when you had already told her your worries.

“Yves? Hello?” Jiwoo’s voice rang in her ears again. “Yeah, sorry, I was thinking.” She immediately says before hearing a sigh from the other end of the call. “Did you talk to Y/n?” She bites her lip before grunting. Surely, you wouldn’t be too mad about her going out, right?

“Yeah, and I’ll meet you all in a bit.”

..

You quietly stare at the screen of your phone, eyes narrowed with a deep scowl painted on your features when you read the contents of the texts sent to you. It’s been a day and you had people searching everywhere for your girlfriend.

Exactly when you had asked her not to go out, you find out that she went to meet her friends, anyway. But that wasn’t what pissed you off. You honestly did not give a damn if she wanted to see them. It was the fact that, despite that she got home safe and sound, someone was still able to get into the house.

And even with your backup security being there to look out for Sooyoung, they still managed to knock them out and took your girlfriend anyway. The mess you came to had only ended up making your blood boil over before you were barking orders for your people to find your girlfriend.

“Boss, we’ve got a lead on where she could be.” Minseok came in, forgetting to even knock with how frantic he looked. You didn’t bother this time around, however as you shoved your phone in your pocket and got to your feet. “Give me the details. Now.”

While he hurried to rush after you, people were already getting ready as well and you were soon off to whatever location the male found. All that you could think of at that moment was finding Sooyoung and making sure to get her back home.

..

“Ah, the princess is finally awake.” A male voice greeted the girl’s ears when her eyes fluttered open. A small groan came from her lips when pain shot to her head. She went to touch it, but found her hands bound behind her back.

That was what caused her to wake up fully and panic began to rush through her when she recalled what happened before she passed out. The people that barged into your home and began to drag her out, the struggle she had when she tried to fight them off until she ended up hitting her head on the counter when she ran to try and grab a knife to possibly defend herself and one of them had grabbed her leg, which explained the headache.

“You made coming over a really difficult task, Yves.” The male soon came into view, taking a chair with him so he was sitting in front of the girl. When her eyes are able to adjust, Sooyoung notices the lack of furniture in the room, just a plain wooden desk to the side then some dirty rags on the floor.

The whole room was dim, being the only light came from the single bulb that hung over her head. It looked like a typical room for hostages she’s seen in movies, add to how she was tied to a chair in the middle of all of this.

“Who the hell are you and what do you want from me?” She hissed while trying to tug at her bonds, but her captor only laughed at her failed attempt before leaning back. “It’s not really you I’m after but someone really close to you.” Recalling the conversation with you, Sooyoung could already tell where this conversation was headed.

“If you think I’m going to spill anything about Y/n to you, then think again.” She snarled, only for the man to burst out laughing, head thrown back as he slapped his hand against his knee. “Do you really think that your precious Y/n isn’t going to get tired of you?” He questions in a mocking tone. “She’s had a bunch of bitches before you came along. I’m actually surprised that she’s kept you this long. They don’t usually last two weeks.”

He smirks menacingly at her before producing a packet from his coat. Throwing it down, pictures come spilling out and Sooyoung could feel her stomach churn when she sees pictures of the two of you, out on dates, her at your company, and even when you’re both at home.

“Looks like you had a lot of fun together, yeah?” He taunts. “Do you even know who your girlfriend really is? How is she able to have everything at such a young age?” He fires off questions without giving her the time to think. “... Or did she tell you that it’s a simple technology company?”

Sooyoung slowly looks at the man with wide eyes. “Y/n L/n, daughter of F/n, and the head of South Korea’s biggest and most dangerous mafia. Her father started the group after he arrived from the States, and when she was old enough, she took over the group just so her poor parents could live peacefully.” He narrates in a dramatic tone. “Who do you think caused all the deaths in Myeong Dong back in April, the drug dealing found in Daegu?”

“There’s no way Y/n would do any of that!”

Sooyoung cuts him off with a glare while he fixes her with a wicked grin. “Are you sure?” He taunts. “Don’t you think it makes sense though, how she can never tell you what really goes on in the company and excuses it all for exhaustion? Or how she knows exactly what you need or what's bothering you?” He pauses before cackling when Sooyoung feels herself shaking. “Did you know that you had a bodyguard hiding in the shadows, too? Telling her every little thing you do on a daily basis?”

She doesn’t know how to react. There was so much being thrown at her and she barely had the time to process it. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing, but at the same time, the man made some sort of sense.

Of course, she understood how you wanted to keep your life private. She knows a lot of people who had that much money and power would earn leeches, but at the same time, she didn’t know so much about you the same way you knew about her. She was basically an open book to you whilst you were a text in a completely different language that she just struggled to understand unless you provided her the help she needed.

“Looks like you really don’t know her.” The man smirked darkly before he was leaning closer to her. “Lucky for you, I do. So how about I fill you in on every little detail?” His tone is playful yet menacing at the same time and Sooyoung is terrified with the dangerous glint in his eyes that she fails to find her voice.

At her silence, the man takes this as a sign of submission before he’s nodding and then standing up to walk over to the desk. Opening one of the drawers, he pulls out what looks like a medical supplies bag before walking over and laying it on the chair he previously sat at, giving Sooyoung a view of the surgical equipment inside the bag and making her heart jump to her throat when he gingerly picked up the scalpel.

“Now, you’re going to tell me what I want to know in exchange. And if I’m not satisfied… well, I don’t think you would want to know what will happen to you.” He says while towering over her. “So let’s start from the very beginning, hmm?”

..

It takes a few hours until the man lets up, and those hours have been the most torture Sooyoung has ever experienced in her entire life. He’s been toying with her and making her question your entire relationship, while at the same time, forcing her to answer things she knows nothing about, which resulted in the various cuts and bruises that have now adorned her skin.

Blood painted her, now, slightly torn shirt and was even splattered on the floor by her feet. When she had yelled back at him about how she knew nothing about your family, he’d gotten fed up and smacked her across the face, drawing blood from her mouth.

“Huh, it looks like she really has been keeping you in the dark for the most part. Smart girl, but she’s still as weak as ever.” He scoffed while wiping his hands and tossing the knife along with the rest of the equipment. “You’re a sick bastard.” She spat out, glaring at him with a snarl but it only made him laugh loudly. “But you haven’t seen everything yet.”

He pulled the chair aside before grabbing the back of Sooyoung’s head to force her to meet his eyes. He glanced down at the pictures he had shown her earlier before smirking as he eyed one that showed the two of you in your bedroom together. “Y/n did have a way with picking nice girls. I wonder just how much fun she’s had with you.” He hummed while leaning closer, his nose brushing against the skin of her neck.

Sooyoung could feel her breath hitch in and her heart rate doubled when she began to feel his other hand trailing down her arm. That’s when she began to actually struggle, making the man chuckle. “Oh, I didn’t think you still had some energy left in you.” He teases when he begins to tug at her shirt. “But I suppose it would be a waste if you were too tired.”

“Stop it.” She muttered weakly, doing her best to move her body away, but due to her restraints, there was so little she could do.

But just before he could go further, the door swung open with a bang, slamming against the wall when you kicked it open and the man had let out a sigh when he pulled himself away from your girlfriend to greet you and the gun you had pointed at his head.

“You sure know how to plan your death, Hanjin. Step away from her before I put a hole in your damn head.” You growled angrily while the man Sooyoung now knows as Hanjin, raises his hands nonchalantly. “What’s with the dramatics? I was just getting to know your girlfriend is all.”

But seeing the state Sooyoung was in had only angered you further before firing a warning shot at the male’s feet. “Get away from her.” You demanded and your girlfriend could admit that this was the first time she’s ever seen you so angry.

It was like a completely different person was standing before her that it made everything that Hanjin told her much more of a reality than a fabricated story just to mess with her.

“Oh, Y/n, you let your emotions get the best of you when it comes to the people you love.” Hanjin shook his head, seeing Minseok coming in as well, his own gun pointed at him, making his grin widen. “It’s no wonder you couldn’t find my little informant. Isn’t that right, Minseok?”

Hearing the name of your guard come from his lips and letting the sentence sink into your brain, your head swivels around to look at the blond whose gun was then turned to you. “Minseok?” You look at him in disbelief, but his face is unreadable while carelessly shrugging his shoulders. “Nothing personal, boss, but the girl has been getting in the way of operations.” He says plainly while nodding in Sooyoung’s direction.

“To think I trained you.” You scoffed as Hanjin walked over to you. You didn’t budge as you kept your gun pointed at him. “Oh, come now. Minseok is only doing what’s necessary. Survival to the fittest and all that.” He mocked before stopping right where his chest barely touched the end of your gun.

Seeing the look on his face, you could already tell that he was up to something far worse than just kidnapping your girlfriend, but right as you were about to fire at him, Minseok fired first, forcing you to drop your gun and grip your hand. However, Hanjin grabbed you by the collar of your shirt before maneuvering to throw you on the floor. “You’ve gone soft, L/n.”

But you merely grunted before locking your arm around his, planting your feet firmly to the ground and using his own momentum to throw him over your shoulder. In his dazed state, you quickly slipped the knife you had hidden in your boot to cut Sooyoung’s bonds before throwing it with deadly accuracy towards your former right hand, catching the sleeve of his jacket and pinning it to the wall.

“I told you not to go out yesterday.” You said simply to the girl when you picked your gun up then, without even looking, shot Minseok right at the center of his chest. The expression on your face was cold and hard, something your girlfriend has never seen, but this day just proved to her how much she didn’t know about you and how what she did know could all be lies.

You were unbothered by the blood in the room or your hand. You didn’t even care when you turned to watch your former partner bleeding out on the floor.

In fact, when you reached him, you had retrieved your knife before crouching next to his body while he gasped for air, coughing up blood as he struggled to keep his eyes open. “Something you’ve forgotten, Minseok, is that you don’t show yourself until you’re sure you can walk away with what you want.” You don’t wait for him to even try to speak.

He knew his fate as soon as he saw the merciless look in your eyes when his betrayal was revealed. So, he watches until the same knife plunges into his chest and you make sure that he has no chance of coming back to be a pain in the ass.

Since you were busy dealing with him though, you failed to catch Hanjin as he scurried out of the room. Sooyoung was still slumped against the chair, so you didn’t bother trying to run after him. You had people posted outside so unless he had backup, which he most likely did, there was no chance of him slipping away so easily.

Your focus was on your girlfriend’s injured and battered figure. The knife was back in your boot while you made your way over to her and properly assessed her injuries. Seeing the state her clothes were in, you quickly shrugged off your coat before placing it over her and then shaking your head. “I’m going to get you out of here, okay? I need you to keep your eyes closed no matter what you hear.”

She was about to object, but she was far too weak to do anything when you took her into your arms and started to run out of the building, gun in hand just in case someone was after you. But right before you reached the exit, the sound of guns firing outside made you silently cuss.

Looking at your girlfriend, you carefully put her down, sitting her up against the wall and then moving some of the boxes to hide her from view before cupping her face. “Stay here.” You tell her before moving out of hiding to stand by one of the windows and readying your gun.

Sooyoung curled up where you left her, eyes shut tight with her hands gripping at your coat. The sound of bodies slumping along with the gunshots made her feel even more scared of the situation she was in.

After being tortured and finding out that the person she loved wasn’t exactly who she thought she was, then watching said person kill another, she still had no plans of dying at that moment.

“Fuck!” Your voice and the sound of glass shattering catches her attention despite all the noise. When she tries to look, she only catches a glimpse of your head before your crouching and out of her view while bullets continue to rain outside.

It’s longer than she hopes, but eventually, everything goes quiet and Sooyoung had to hold her breath when she couldn’t hear a single thing.

She was too afraid to call out your name in the event that someone else could be there and that you might have been taken out. But before those thoughts could invade her mind, she’s relieved to see you back in front of her, though with blood on your sleeve.

“Come on.” You carry her outside, making sure that her eyes are closed when you pass by all the bodies that were scattered around. This experience was traumatic enough as it was, you did not want to add more to it.

One of your men opens the car door for you and you gently lay Sooyoung down on the front row, making sure she’s comfortable and covered.

Looking to the side, you ask for Hanjin’s location. “He managed to escape, boss. His men started coming out right as he exited the building.” He explained regretfully, making you scowl. “That’s fine. Right now, I want everyone to head back to-”

The sound of a loud bang, followed by a few more, reaches Sooyoung’s ears before your body slumps against the side of the car. She quickly lifts her head to look and her eyes widen when she sees you on your knees, blood slowly spreading on your shirt. One of your men hurries to help you inside the van and drive you away, ordering to sweep over the area and make sure there was nothing left.

“Call Yuki and tell her to prepare the infirmary.” You grunted while gripping your side, trying your best to apply pressure to the wound, but it was too painful for you to do so. Sooyoung could see you losing more and more blood with the way it was spreading on your shirt, hand, and the car’s seats that it made her heart drop at the sight of you.

Because even with the lies and all the bullshit she’s been through today, you still came and risked your life to save her. Looking at you now, it was as if you were battling to keep yourself from slipping, and with the way your eyes kept shifting over to check on her, it made her know that you were fighting to stay awake for her. And with that, she knows one thing for sure.

Even when she didn’t exactly know you as a whole, she knew that you meant it when you told her you loved her.

But could she move past all of this just because she loved you for who you pretended to be?

Now that she knows that truth, it all comes down to being a choice between your love and her own life.

Words - 1K Characters - Matthew X Reader, Jiwoo, Somin and J.Seph Genre - Fluff

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3]

Sorry it took so long!

Sorry for any spelling errors :)

-I hope you all like it!-

You reach your aunt house and she shows you to the room you’ll be staying in. She says “I’m sorry about what happened with your boyfriend” You scrunch up your lips then say “He not my boyfriend” She says “OH!! Okay, I’m still sorry.. I’ll bring you some beef stew just like when you were little” You both smile and you say “Thank you for everything” She walks over to you and gives you a kiss on the cheek then walks out of the room shutting the door behind her. You open your phone to see two messages. One from Somin saying “I’m still sorry about everything. I hope to see you soon” You reply back saying” It’s fine! I’m not mad at you. Trust me, just the two of us should hangout tomorrow. Not in the apartment though.” Then you see Matthew messaged you saying “Hey, when can I see you again?” You take a deep breath and reply back saying “Hi.. I’m not sure yet. I just need to clear my head a little bit.” You shut off your phone screen. You say to yourself “Why do I feel so bad?”

-The Next Morning at Matthew’s apartment-

Somin gets dressed and Matthew walks over to her and says “Hey, where are you going?” Somin says “I’m leaving with a friend. She’ll be here to get me but after that, we’re leaving.” Matthew says “You’re leaving already? It’s not even twelve yet” Somin looks at him and says “it’s called spending the day together” They hear the doorbell ring and Matthew says “I’ll get it..” while lightly jogging to the door.

You’re standing at the door waiting, your eyes light up as Matthew opens the door. When Matthew sees you, his face looks brighter. You slowly say “Hi” Matthew just hugs you and doesn’t say anything. You hug him back and then he responds “Why are you here?” You stop hugging him and say “I’m hanging out with Somin today.. can I come in?” He says “Oh shit, yeah.. come in” You walk inside and see Somin. She says “oh shit Y/N, I have to go to see my mom real quick. You can wait here. It wont be long. I’m sorry!” You say “don’t worry. Take your time, I hope everything is okay”

A few minutes later she leaves. You sit on the couch and pull out your phone. Matthew asks you “Do you want some coffee?” You say “Sure. Thanks” As he’s making the coffee it gets quiet. He comes over and sits on the couch kind of far from you, waiting for the coffee to be done. He says “How did you seep?” You say “I slept fine.. you?” He says “oh I slept alright, I tried to sleep in the bed again but it was weird” You look at him and day “I’m sorry. There’s a certain thing I did to actually help me sleep. Come on, I’ll show you.” You walk to his room and he follows you. You say “okay get in bed. Put this pillow between your legs and this pillow under your head. Is it comfy? Oh wait and when you sleep, don’t open the window.. turn the AC on instead”

He sits up moving the pillows. You hear the coffee maker beep and you say “I’ll make the coffee.” As you walk Matthew grabs your hand and says “Y/N.. come here real quick” You walk back towards him, he’s sitting on the side of the bed and you’re standing in between his legs. You look at him and say “Yeah?” He just looks at you and pulls your face towards his. He kisses you and has his hands on your face. When he stop you stand there and say “um. I have to go turn the coffee maker off” But instead of leaving the room you two kiss again. The coffee maker beeps more but you two ignore it. J.Seph walks out of his room yelling “DAMN I UNDERSTAND SOMEONE MADE COFFEE BUT CAN YOU TURN THE MACHINE OFF AFTER IT BEEPS?!” Matthew says “I’ll make you some coffee, okay?” He kisses you before leaving the room and shutting the door.

A few minutes later he walks in with coffee in his hands and box of crumb cake in between one arm and a knife in his mouth. You laugh and go to help him. He shuts the door and you both sit your coffee near the bed. As you sit yours down, he hugs you from behind . You turn around and kiss him quickly, then you get your coffee and take a sip. You sit on the bed and say “Matthew, can we talk?” He sits beside you and says “I know what you’re going to say.. I just really like you. When we were younger I was going to ask you to go to the spring dance with me but then you moved. I was going to ask you to be my girlfriend that night but we didn’t see each other again. After I saw you the other day everything ran back into my head and I know it’s weird because we just saw each other again after 5 years but I like you.” You smile and say “Now I feel bad because of the dance thing. I don’t care how weird it seems or how short of a time its been. I like you too” Matthew pulls you into a hug and kisses you. He says “Will you go on a date with me?” You nod and ask “When?” He has his arms around you and says “tomorrow night” You say “okay..” You grab your coffee but as you move Matthew hugs onto your waist. You laugh and he says “Y/N.. can I tell you something?” You turn around to face him as you sip your coffee and say “yeah” He sits up and sits closer to you. You get a little worried so you put your coffee back down. He says “you’re beautiful” You move your hair out of your face and smile saying “Thank you, you’re very handsome”

-Date Night-

Your aunt walks in the room as you’re going through all of your clothes. She asks “Um.. What are you doing?” You look back at her quickly and say “I’m trying to find an outfit.. I have a date tonight” Your aunts eyes widen and she asks “Boy? Girl?” You reply “Boy.. I told you about him. He’s going to come pick me up so you can possibly meet him! If you meet him.. Don’t embarrass me. My mother does that already” Your aunt laughs and says “Alright. I won’t embarrass you”

She walks out of the room and you put a red mini dress with black high heels. You wear light makeup and put waves in your hair. As you’re getting ready you get nervous. It’s been a while since you’ve been on a date. The thought of Jiwoo hating you makes you a little worried as well. You’re dressed and ready but you keep looking into the mirror on the dresser. You hear the doorbell ring and your aunt yells to you “SWEETIE! MATTHEW IS HERE!!” You grab your black purse and walk down the stairs.

As Matthew sees you he smiles, his smile makes you feel warm inside and you feel more relaxed. Matthew walks up to you and hugs you. He says “You look amazing. Are you ready?” You say “Y-Yeah”

As you walk to the car you realize why you’re so nervous, you’ve liked him since elementary school, he was your first crush. You’ve wanted to be with him for a long time. You didn’t think you’d ever see him again. You also thought that he’d have a girlfriend. He’s always been handsome and you’ve always been a little nervous with him.

Matthew looks at you and says “Y/N.. do you want to know where we’re going?” You look at him smiling and say “yeah.” He looks back at the road and says “well I remembered when we were little and you kept telling me what kind of date you wanted to go on” Your eyes widen as you as “You remember that?!” He chuckles and says “yeah”

When you were you younger (17) you always had a date that you wanted to go on. It was to a restaurant your parents would always go to, get ice cream and eat it at the park while sitting on the swings, then go for a walk on the beach. You’re surprised he even remembers that at all.

You arrive at the restaurant in awe to see how fancy it looks. Feeling excited because you’re finally on a date with the man you’ve liked for years. You walk to a table reserved for two, Matthew pulls out a chair for you and sits down across from you. You get two glasses of Champaign and get steak with potatoes. The entire time you were there, you felt like you were dreaming.

You reach the park and Matthew walks to you with two ice cream cones in hand. You smile wide and take the ice cream, leaving a kiss on Matthews cheek. You smile saving “Thank you Matthew” He kisses your cheek and says “you’re welcome” You sit on the swings and eat your ice cream with him. He looks at you and says “Y/N..?” You look at him not saying anything. He meets you with a quick kiss. His lips tasting like Rocky Road ice cream. He says “Come on, we still have one more stop to make”

He brings you to the beach and you run to the water feeling it wash up on your feet. Matthew runs behind you and holds your from behind, kissing the side of your neck. He says into your ear “Did you enjoy our date?” You turn around to face him and say “yeah, I did” He kisses you hard and you kiss him back. He pulls away and say “so last question, will you be my girlfriend?” You nod and kiss him more, feeling like you’re on cloud 9. Finally with the man you like.

HA SEUNGWOO – STRENGTH. AGENT 08.

                                              [   FILE TYPE: CLASSIFIED   ]

//: LOADING PROFILE: HA SEUNGWOO …

international age: 24 birthplace: busan, south korea arcana: strength team number: six

//: LOADING MUTATION: FERAL MIND  …

application one: hunting intuition — hunting is not easy. it requires attention, focus, skills, practice. but it can be easier when these skills come to you as easily as breathing. hunting intuition gives seungwoo all those talents, enhancing his instincts so he can hunt, be it animals, people, or even objects. also, in the sorry case his target is a person, seungwoo can get a sense of their weakness, their vulnerabilities, making it simpler to catch them. or kill them, his choice. this application makes him the perfect tracker. there is, though, one thing needed for such a power to be better used: patience, a skill seungwoo barely has. being too eager, getting annoyed of waiting, getting ahead of himself can always jeopardize his efforts, putting the mission he’s in in danger.

application two: anger empowerment — anger is an well-known friend of seungwoo, one he’s been nurturing since young, since his life went out of the rails, crashing and burning in its collision course. when he gets angry he’s able to unlock other powers such as getting stronger, being able to lift heavier objects, fight harder, all rage and destruction, giving him a huge edge in fights. one downside to this power is that once it passes and he calms down, whatever wounds he has been inflicted are harder to heal, and depending of much energy he spent he can even have to stay in bed for a day or so.

application three: enhanced instincts — enhanced instincts consists of seungwoo having stronger instincts than what would be considered normal. mainly his predatory and fight instincts talk louder inside of him, shout until logic is forgotten and he can think quickly and efficiently while working on those instincts alone. he thinks and do things quicker, easier, though they might not always be the logical choice. he thinks quickly, instinctively, making him ideal for missions that need them to be fast and precise. however, this application can be dangerous when mixed with anger empowerment, making him reckless and destructive.

overall strengths and weaknesses: — seungwoo’s strength is in how well he matches his power, almost as if he was born with it, made for it. it’s like destruction is a part of what he is, and doing it is easy for him. he detaches himself from reality in a way that makes the job in arc easy - he doesn’t think about, doesn’t get bothered because of it. if he is ordered to steal, he does, if he has to kill, he does. he has heard people joking about how he’s the perfect soldier: soulless and quiet. truth be told, he’s just tired of feeling. when it comes to his weakness, weirdly enough, they’re also attached to his power and how linked it is to the person seungwoo is. his impulsiveness, his hot headed persona makes it easy for him to get out of control, to go berserk. it’s not been once or twice when he has gotten warnings from the higher ups, having part of his pay taken away for making stupid mistakes just because he got too angry, too consumed. in the end his biggest strength is himself, but it’s also his downfall.

//: LOADING HISTORY ..

PRE-MUTATION

november third, 1992 - 4:00AM

it’s raining when he’s born. a thunderstorm, her father will tell him one day as he’s all dressed up jeans and a polo shirt. but for now they’re scared he’ll even make it, all eyes on him and on his mother, prayers going around the room. but he makes it, so does his mother. they’re fighters, after all, born to live, born to win. seungwoo doesn’t cry when he leaves his mother’s womb, eyes wide open, looking around as if inspecting the place, as if being born is just another task he has to do. his father will also tell him one day that once a baby is born not crying is because their spirit is happy to come to the world, because they have a special purpose to fulfill.

seungwoo used to like that idea. now he thinks it’s utter crap.

january fifth, 1998 - 2:35PM

he is lying on the ground, one arm lying on his side, the other hand grabbing a wooden sword tight against his chest. there’s laughter and then applauses, and quickly seungwoo is on his feet, eyeing the crowd with a huge smile. he smiles, proud and happy, finding his family easily. they are in the front row after all, just as usual, mom, dad and his brothers: sungwoon wearing his school uniform, and the youngest on his mother’s lap. his family is not that old tired cliché of the broken rich family - the sad little rich boy, always alone, always waiting for his parents to come. no. his father always makes a place in his busy schedule for him, his mother is always there for all his little school plays, every single event. he comes down the stage still wearing his prince costume, hugging his mother tightly. happiness - he is so sure at the time that he’s found it.

august fifteenth, 2006 - 2:30AM

“are you sure no one knows?”

“honey, please. this doesn’t concern you.”

he is leaning against his father’s office door, attentive to not make any noise. seungwoo holds his breath, closes his eyes. he had seen it: the whispering, the two of them talking around corners. his father has been sullen, quiet, not like his usual self. he doesn’t know what is going on. he’s asked, of course he has, but all his mother does is smile, tell him to not worry, to focus on his studying.

“it does concern me,” his mother replies and it gets harder to listen. he gets closer, focus. “what will we do?”

“i have money to cover it, jiwoo. don’t worry for now. and if they don’t shut up even then, there are other ways. you know it.”

seungwoo hears steps, runs to his room. she wonders what other ways are those.

april first, 2008 - 3:55 PM

he is called to the principal office.

seungwoo walks through the corridors of her all-boys school, white floors as pristine as white shirt and black tie. his back is straight, eyes focused up front. he can hear them whispering, gathering in the classroom like roaches. seungwoo acts as if he doesn’t care, steps determined. he smirks to a friend as he passes by. anyone would think going to the principal is just one more of his school duties.

he sits down when asked, looks ahead, annoyed. the principal stares at him with that expression, the one that says it all: she would wish to be anyone but the one to carry the news she is about to give to seungwoo. the boy breathes in, waits for it.

one hour later he is in a car, going back home. it’s almost as if he can feel the eyes on his back as he leaves the school. they are silent, of course they are, but it’s almost like they’re shouting: the son of a crooked man, a corrupt businessman who was stupid enough to get caught. a fucking murder. it’s a weird feeling, seungwoo thinks as he fights against rage on the backseat of the car, to watch such a beautiful castle crumble. to find out its foundations that he once thought to be so strong were actually sand.

may twenty-third, 2008 - 9:00PM

it’s quite simple what happened: hes father owned a construction company. his father lied, used used cheap materials to make construction costs lower, ignored safety issues, all to make business more profitable. now one of his buildings had crumbled, killing twenty people, hurting at least fifty. he’s in jail as more and more shit is uncovered. there are journalists at the front of his house every day, a sea of interviews, his mother being questioned time after time as they tried to see where she fit in that whole mess. for now they’re playing the innocent family, the ones who didn’t know. which is true for seungwoo, he never knew. he thought his father was the best man he ever knew.

he wakes up from her sleep, the bad dream still ringing on his ears. seungwoo stands up, neck hurting from the uncomfortable position he was. he looks around, sees his younger brother sleeping by his side. he’s only thirteen years old. he deserves better than this. he looks at the time, dinner has yet to be served. they don’t have maids anymore, no one but their trusty driver, who decided to stay with them even if they can’t pay him anymore. they’ve been cutting excessive expenses here and there, all to pay or his father’s lawyer and lawsuits costs. but they still gotta eat.

“mom?” he calls, stands up and goes up the stairs. he looks around, call her again. but when seungwoo finally finds her in her room, he has to look up, eyes wide, heart stop beating for a second. he runs away. when he finally finds her, he wishes he didn’t.

may twenty-fourth, 2008 - 8:25AM

the media doesn’t respect even his mother’s funeral. security tries to keep them away but there they are, taking pictures, making a fuss. seungwoo doesn’t cry.

when they arrive back home seungwoo and his younger brother go to her room, lie on her bed. his older brother arrives an hour later - he smells of alcohol and rain, his shoulders damp. he scoffs when he looks at the ceiling. that chandelier had always been so pretty.

“she was weak,” her brother says, and seungwoo stares at him for a while. it’s the first time he punches him for real, though not the first time he wanted to.

it won’t be the last too.

november third, 2010 - 4:00AM

seungwoo feels his knuckles hurting, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. the place they live now is smaller and this bathroom with its white walls and low ceiling makes him almost claustrophobic. he hates the place ever since they moved in years ago, once sungwoon was old enough to be their legal guardian, once his father had no way out of prison and their money was running out. they lived out of what was left, lived out of what whatever sungwoon did for a living, seungwoo didn’t even want to know, fuck it. it’s not like they get along.

there’s a soft knock in the door and he looks up, watches as the youngest walks in. jiho has always been the best of them and he still is. he does well in school, has the brightest smile he has ever seen. their mother’s smile. seungwoo no, he is all their father, all lies.

“you two shouldn’t fight,” jiho says, touches his hand, “we’re brothers.”

seungwoo only nods, makes another false promise of doing better next time. he won’t, he won’t even try. he’s tired.

POST-MUTATION

unknown date, 2015 - hour unknown

he is drunk, that’s why he doesn’t remember. nothing flashy, really. he is at home, lying in his tiny apartment, the only one he could afford the rent for. he doesn’t even know how long he’s been there - lying, looking at the ceiling, drinking as if he didn’t have his stupid job at the convenience store tomorrow. fuck that job, really. but it paid the bills.

until there’s a flash of a light. seungwoo looks up, goes to the window, watches as it rain stars. 

he didn’t know he was this wasted.

two weeks later, 2015 - all the time

it’s like all he can see is rage, hate, consuming, destroying. when it starts to build up he curls in an u shape, shouts in his pillow. he can barely breathe, he can hardly take it.

july third, 2015 - 2:03AM

they find it after it happened.

he is sitting in an alley far away from the club he was just in. at first whenever it happened he��d lose consciousness, lose who he is. now it’s like he takes a backseat, watches flashes of it, comes back only to the destruction, to the afterthought. but he knows it was him, sees traces of what he is all over the violence. when the men in black look at him he smiles, all sweat and blood.

“so,” he says, trying to stand up, wincing in pain. his wounds always heal hurt more now, after it happens, “where are you taking me?”

january first, 2017 - 7:00PM

his body is sore, aching all over places he didn’t even know he could feel pain. training is hard, tougher than he expected, or at least tougher than he expected it to be after more than a year in this wretched place. he was one of the first ones to get in, his power one of the easiest to trace. how hard it is to find a guy who leaves a trail of destruction and god knows what else wherever he goes? not hard enough.

it gives him a sense of purpose though. a feeling of at least be doing something, living. his brother always used to say seungwoo was a good for nothing, that he wouldn’t amount to anything in this life. well, sucks to be him. as far as he knows he is stuck in some office, he finished law school, going the same path their father went. seungwoo wants very little to do with that. he wants sungwoon to fuck off. all the way off.

the only thing he misses from his old life is his little brother. for him seungwoo spun a history about a job abroad, lie after lie. he sends him money, half of what he gets so he can go to college and live well. he doesn’t care that he gets so little of his paycheck, not really. seungwoo himself is the smallest of his worries. 

to be here, in such a place, sometimes it feels weird still. he’s not used to having a partner, not used to working in a team. he’s not used to having to look out for others, carrying orders. but it’s his job so he carries on, does the least he has to to at least fit in a bit. fit in is enough, he doesn’t expect to go as far as belonging here. a monster like him doesn’t belong to anywhere.
