ITALICS like always will be thoughts :)
Its been a while since that last incident with Daehoon happened, and since then, Daniel has started modeling for a small business to make money for him mom and himself. He modeled on weekends and Daniel was excited that the small business was booming since his first day, so he decided to tell Y/n all about it. She was happy for him and said she'd drop by sometime to check it out. Now he was really nervous. The weekend came by fast and Daniel texted Y/n so they could meet up at a cafe close by were they were shooting. She texted him back, agreeing to see him there in a few minutes.
It had been about 30 minutes since he last texted her to come, and in those short minutes, Daniel made the most out of the time he had to do his best in every photo. Time flew by and It was time for a short break. Daniel stared out the window, ignoring loud whispers about him and his good looks sound all around him. "Money.... How can i earn more money? I can't bear to see my mom the way she is right now... She does everything she can for me and what do i do? I need to give it my best too."
The cafe's bell goes off when it opens but Daniel doesn't realize it as he's spaced out thinking of more ways than one to get more money. Daniel was startled, his vision suddenly going black as he feels two thin hands cover his eyes.
"Guess whoooo~"
His fear is quickly dissipated as he hears the familiar girl's voice singsong.
"Y/N!" Daniel smiles wide, revealing his pearly white teeth. Y/n giggles as the boy envelops her in a sweet, tight hug. "You made it." Daniel leads Y/n to her designated seat right across of him. She gives him a closed eyed smile. "Of course i did! When i heard that you started modeling, i was excited! This is perfect for you. Do you like it?" Y/n smiles.
"Yeah, i guess i do--" Daniel stops and contemplates Y/n's soft features. She smiles. "What?"
He sighs, shaking his head and feeling a smile tug at the corners of his mouth. "Nothing..."
The bell at the cafe's front door chimes again, followed by heavy boots hitting the cafe floor, and the loud bickering of the people entering the cafe. Y/n sighs. "I thought it was peaceful here..."
"Yeah it was..." Daniel says, turning his attention to the tall, handsome figures, entering through the door.
"HEY DONGOOK! WHAT'S WRONG??"
"You can't do this to me!!!!"
"Geez, be quiet."
Four handsome, tall guys and a pretty girl strutting in to a specific table in the cafe are followed by a frantic guy, calling out for the guy in front. He's quickly dismissed by one of the tall guys.
Daniel eyed them, in awe, also noticing the rides they came to the cafe in. They wore all brand clothing including their expensive looking cars. Daniel was completely breath-taken. It was really cool to see guys like that. He quickly traced his eyes off of the good-looking people, to the girl who was sitting right across from her. Y/n. She was also beautiful. Gorgeous even. They look like the people she belonged to hang out with. Not him.
Daniel's thoughts were interrupted by the Y/n looking up at him with big eyes. "Daniel? What's wrong?" Daniel stared at her for a few seconds before reacting. "O-oh, n-nothing! I'm fine!"
Daniel gave her a forced smile, which she saw through immediately. She looked at him, knowingly.
"Okay, then. Well, i'm going to go buy us some desserts! I won't take to long so don't leave this poor girl, okay?" Y/n joked, getting up from her seat, and leaving her stylish-looking black bag on the table.
Daniel smiled. "I could never."
She smiled back at him, and quickly headed towards the cafe's counter to order the desserts.
"What is it... that you want to tell me?" A certain conversation catches Daniel's attention. It was the handsome guys that came in earlier. They were talking to that one guy that kept following them.
"Dongook, things have been tough for me... We've worked together, so how could you move the team?" The weird guy asks. The handsome guy, who seems to be the leader, Dongook... deadpanned but let the guy continue.
"And Yoon said you broke up with her. Dongook, you can't be like this." Daniel heard the guy say. Yoon, the only girl sitting there, quietly hugged herself. "We started from the bottom of Gangnam, and the three of us relied on each other to grow. We must stick together." He said. "Come back to me, Dongook. I'm begging you."
The guy, Dongook, stared at them, emotionless before speaking. "Come on..." He started. "You're a nobody, just DRAGGING me down. And her? Why is she proud of a heartbreak? Mouthing all over town..." He said with venom dripping from every word. The girl, Yoon and the guy begging, flinched. With no emotion in his face, he stood up.
"When are you going to stop living in the past? Think of how much i earned for you." Dongook aid, looking down on them. "I shouldn't have come here. Guys, let's go."
With the other guys following suit, Dongook, disappeared into the cafe after throwing some more insults at what seemed to be former friends. Mentioning to the girl how she didn't make him happy in the entire relationship. After leaving, the only guy left sitting at the table held his head in his hands, looking troubled. Daniel slurped on is drink, interested on what he had just witnessed.
The guy left sitting at the table, shot his head up, catching Daniel's stare. His eyes widened. Daniel quickly averted his gaze, praying the older guy didn't catch him.
Unfortunately for Daniel, the older guy appeared behind Daniel. "Excuse me." He said, startling Daniel. Daniel flinched, praying for his life.
"Why were you staring at us?" The guy asked Daniel. Daniel rambled. "N-NO REASON! I J-JUST THOUGHT YOU GUS LOOKED COOL! I MEANT NO HARM!"
The guy chuckled, waving his arms. "I meant no harm in asking you either. I'm really sorry. I just came over here to ask...it seemed that you were interested..." The guy said to him. "By the way...are you interested in making big money?"
Daniel's eyes widened. This is exactly what he needed! He stuttered, flustered. "But what kind of work?"
The older man jumped ever so slightly. "Oh! It's nothing too difficult or strange...! Its an easy service job. Nothing suspicious about it." He scratched the back of his head, nervously.
Daniel, obliviously, smiled, his heart beating a mile a minute, thinking about the guys who had just left. Was he going to be able to ride a luxurious car too?
"How much....How much does the job pay?" Daniel asked, flustered.
"Well, that depends on how you do it... The guys before....made tens of thousands of dollars." He admitted. Daniel's heart beat even faster. Tens of thousands???
The man outstretched his hand, holding a business card with only a number on the back and the names 'Escort Rainbow' on the front towards Daniel. "Contact me if you're interested. Let's have a coffee and chat. I'll wait to hear from you."
The guy quickly turned around, almost crashing into Y/n.
"O-oh sorry- Hey! Would you maybe be interested in-"
"No."
"But-"
"NO."
The man quickly walked away, muttering and pouting like a child. Y/n sat down at the table, shaking her head.
"Daniel, sorry i took so long, they used the same stupid excuse saying the ice cream machine broke down. Like bish- whatever. *Sounds like the McDonalds in America." Y/n muttered.
*no offense to McDonalds of course.
Daniel looked down to the card. barely noticing Y/n sit down.
"Daniel~ Heyyy, Earth to Daniel!" Y/n waved a hand in his face until he reacted.
"O-oh! Y/n! Hey..." Daniel quickly stuffed the card into his pocket and grabbed his dessert, eating it distractedly.
"Who was that guy? Did he talk to you? Because people like that are never to be trusted." Y/n said, eating her own dessert. Daniel frowned.
"Why?"
"Because Daniel...those people, even if they say nothing goes wrong, they always have something under their sleeve, or something illegal going on." Y/n said, unbothered. Daniel spaced out again, so he didn't completely hear every word his friend had said to him, but he did know one thing...this job seemed REALLY COOL!
That Night....
Y/n felt an unsettling feeling as she stepped out of the shower. She felt as if something was wrong. Something was definitely happening tonight....and its not good.
Of course, Y/n's hunch was dead on, for Daniel had called the older man, accepting the job offer, and heading to a secluded restaurant at midnight. Not knowing what awaited him at his new job.
The moment he step foot at his designated rendezvous with the older man AND his new boss, he was greeted and shown into an underground room. Smoking, booze, women, loaded men. They were everywhere. What the hell was this job????
The next morning came quickly, Y/n, the moment she woke up, felt that unsettling feeling again. After having such a nice sleep after so long, why did she have to wake up to THAT feeling? After changing and making her way to school, Y/n was distracted, thinking about Daniel's weird behavior the day before and bumped into a broad, tall back.
"Oof- Whoops! S-sorry i didn't mean to-"
"That's alright."
Y/n looked up to see Beauty Dept's one and only Eli. Eli's eyes lit up in recognition.
"Hey, you're Y/n Choi, right? From Fashion Dept?" Eli flashed her a charming smile. Y/n returned it, giggling slightly.
"Yeah, that's me. And you definitely must be Eli." Y/n laughed. Eli smiled, listening to the girl's cute laugh. "What gave it away?"
"Weeeell~" Y/n squinted, eyeing the girls that angrily surrounded the both of them. Eli chuckled. "Right." He massaged the back of his neck, laughing. Y/n laughed along with him, before growing quiet.
"Well, it was nice talking to you, Eli. I should probably get to my class, though. Y'know, before i get beat up on the spot." Y/n scrunched her nose, laughing, as she stepped around the girls that quickly huddled around Eli.
"Something tells me that wouldn't happen either way."
Eli paid little attention to the girls who trapped him in a little circle, giving him compliments and love on the way he looked today, and how nice he was. He just stared at the girl's back as she made her way to the school's doors. Staring at her back, he chuckled, feeling the strings to his heart being pulled, and a warm feeling filling his chest.
Eli took a step forward, feeling himself step on something. He looked down, noticing a black wallet, which had small white jewels embedded on the side. "It must be Y/n's..." He thought as he looked ahead at the doors but she wasn't there. "I'll have to give it to her the next time i see her."
Eli was pushed by a guy behind him. Vin Jin, pushed Eli out of the way. "Hey, purple. Get out of the way. You wanna die?"
Eli just smiled, kindly. "Sorry, i'll move."
Vin Jin crossed his arms, proudly. "Yea, right! I'm better than that little flower prince." He thought. Vin Jin's attention was caught by a ruckus behind him. He quickly turned around just to almost bump into DANIEL PARK.
"Baby!!! Please, Daniel! Just another drink!" A strange looking girl begged Daniel. Vin Jin flinched. "HE WAS OUT DRINKING WITH A GIRL ALL NIGHT??"
"Of course... I have to go to school now..." Daniel walked away from the wasted-looking girl, coolly, and leaving Vin Jin gaping. What the hell just happened?? Eli glared after Daniel, without saying a word.
In the classroom, Zack walked in, only to find Daniel sitting weirdly, laid-back in his seat right next to Zack's seat. "Hey wasssup?" Daniel ask, laying back in his seat.
Zack stuck his hands in his pockets, looking down on Daniel, knowing something was up with him.
"Good morning." Daniel smirked. Zack raised an eyebrow, glaring at him. "Uh...yeah sure." "What the...? Weirdo. What's up with him?" Zack thought as he heard Daniel ask what was for lunch, in his new...weird way.
"No idea." Zack said annoyed. "GEEZ. Booze smell. How much did he drink?"
Y/n jogged into the room. "Dammit i can't find it... Oh.. hey guys what's up?" Y/n smiled, catching everyone's attention. Daniel saw Y/n, and his eyes lit up and a smirk found itself on his face. Y/n paused. What....was that smell? Alcohol....Who-?
A shadow fell over Y/n and she felt the booze smell closer than ever. Two arms pinned her to the wall of the classroom. She looked up seeing Daniel's face, that held a wide smile.
"Hey...Y/n Choi... Did you sleep well last night?" He said, getting close to her face. He placed his hand on her chin, smiling. Y/n glared slightly, but besides that she stayed emotionless.
Daniel smiled, starstruck. "Y/n....She's so pretty..."
Y/n saw Zack walking towards Daniel, angrily but he quickly stopped as he saw Y/n push Daniel away from her. Daniel was left wide eyed as they all heard the door slammed closed.
"Where's she going? She just..left? Maybe to the bathroom?" Daniel thought to himself. He felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around to see Jay and Zack standing in front of him. Jay held out a bottle towards him which was supposedly a hangover drink. Daniel flashed a smile, saying he'd drink it all up. Zack on the other hand...
"Hey, Daniel. I get the state your in right now but...Don't touch Y/n like that again. You hear me?" Zack said, glaring daggers into Daniel's eyes. He caught him off-guard at first but then Daniel smirked.
"Or what?" He said, staring Zack down.
"You won't want to find out." Zack sneered, but calmed himself down, knowing Daniel had no control on what he did, said or thought at this point.
Daniel scoffed seeing Zack back down, but he didn't care anymore himself. The booze had already gone to his head. Too late now. The only question in Daniel's mind now was.... Where'd Y/n run off to?
