[Name] was shockingly on the forefront of Logan's brain for days. He found himself falling for the woman genuinely as she was forced to date him so he wouldn't beat up her friends.
Though, she hadn't physically seen the male in a while. She had been around her friends mainly who were swearing to protect her up and down and it didn't seem to be anything to be concerned with. Especially when she asked Gun to train her even harder with weights specifically.
It was a whole month before the man came back and he looked completely different. He kind of looked like Zack now and she was finding it hard to not find him attractive. Especially with him dragging her everywhere with him.
He was smoking a cigarette outside at the moment, he even gave [Name] one which she wasn't going to refuse as the male kept mumbling a Japanese greeting.
" So..." The woman spoke slowly, trying to not make the situation awkward," Do you know Japanese or do you just say Japanese words because of your class?"
" They keep saying it. It's stuck in my head." The male spoke, not even bothering to lose his attitude as the woman coughed awkwardly before smoking the cigarette.
" You look different... Why?"
" Why do you care?" The male huffed while [Name] sighed out.
" Listen, you're the one that claimed me as your 'girlfriend' the least you could do is actually act like I am it." [Name] huffed back, making the male raise an eyebrow.
" I was home working out. Your friends made me realize I wasn't strong enough." The male stated while finishing his cigarette," Why?"
" I mean you look like you have an eating disorder and I'd never condone that whether or not I like someone." [Name] spoke, finishing her own cigarette," But you don't look bad either way. Handsome even."
The man started blushing, unable to find words to explain his thoughts so he left her outside to get to class alone. She sat in her new seat next to Zack, tired out from the slow-moving day as she rested her head.
It wasn't long before Logan was back and she seemingly was the only one who recognized him. He took Zack's chair and Crystal was questioning what was going on by going over to her cousin-sister.
" Um, [Name]? Who is that?" She wondered as Logan looked confused at the girl, she looked exactly like Little Daniel and it was messing with him.
He almost started a fight with her, threatening to hit her but before he was able to Daniel grabbed the man's arm as it was mid-swing.
" What do... you think you're doing?" Daniel questioned darkly, thankfully that the male was the one getting him rather than [Name].
" And what... are you doing?" Logan hissed, his glare evident on his face.
Instantly Daniel squeezed the man's wrist which made Logan calculate how to fight next. He lunged forwards, moving to punch Daniel in the gut but Daniel moved easily to the side to dodge the attack. Then Logan went into a rage, throwing his fists randomly to try and hit Daniel but everyone dodged. Then Daniel managed to slam Logan in the stomach as the male coughed and gagged on bile.
" S...sorry! Are you okay?!" Daniel freaked out, making [Name] almost laugh.
" Anxiety attack, he literally tried attacking you. I don't understand why you're apologizing." [Name] rolled her eyes as Daniel's attention was instantly on Crystal.
" Crystal are you okay? Let's go that way."
Then Logan was left on the ground on his back when he expected Daniel to come after him again.
" Lol!"
" Look!"
" Lol!"
[Name] got up with a sigh, going over to Logan as he was planning to kill someone. She put her hand out for the man and gave him a thin smile," You know fighting isn't everything, right?"
The man looked at her hand for a moment before taking it to get up, [Name] easily pulled him up as he shyly blushed and questioned the woman," Can I get your number?"
The woman couldn't exactly say no, he looked pretty pitiful from being beaten so she agreed and exchanged numbers with him.
What she hadn't anticipated was the male calling her after school to meet up at a cafe and rather than follow her best interest she agreed. So she sat across from him as he seemed more serious than earlier in the day.
" [Name]." The male spoke after the two got coffee," I want to tell you something."
" What is it?" She questioned, taking a sip of her coffee.
" I want to seriously go out with you." The male stated, almost making her laugh out in his face.
" No." she instantly responded, not even bothering to care as he freaked out," You literally tried hitting my cousin and you have started a fight with three of my friends in the past two days of you attending classes. Hell, you even dumped food on me to prove a point!"
" So you don't like me?" He questioned confused," You hate who I am?!"
" If you want my honest opinion, yes." As he felt himself crack, the woman stated," You literally forced me to date you up until today which realistically I don't see you stopping anytime soon and your personality is dog shit. Maybe if you were nice or actually cared about something other than fighting for your own gain but I already have Zack filling a similar spot in my life and I don't need two of you."
After that day Logan added his weight again and continued forcing [Name] to date him, though now he was taking his anger out more on VinJin, Zack, Daniel, and Vasco.
But rather than forcing her to stay attached to his hip, he stopped trying to contact her. It's not like she minded, especially when Zack asked her to start working out with him too. Now she was training with three people in total and with all the extra training she was bound to become stronger and handle Gun's murderous training easier.
But in that time Zack and [Name] got closer, so close in fact that the male was losing his crush on Mira which neither of them would ever think was possible.
It was the night after they trained and rather than both of them going to their separate homes as usual Zack invited her to his house. Granted, she wasn't complaining but she hadn't expected what their conversation entailed.
" So... I wanted to ask you about something before telling you something." The male stated, his hand tangled in [Name]'s as she looked at him expectedly," During that stuff at camp... he went farther, didn't he?"
At first [Name] couldn't help but feel shocked at the accusation but he wasn't wrong and she was moving past it already," Yeah... I'm fine now though. Having those puppies helped clear my mind, plus I had a lot of stuff to keep me busy so I didn't have to think about it as much. I told Daniel about it but he left right after I stopped freaking out... but I just need to be stronger. I'm training with you and others to do that so if something like that happened again I don't have to worry about feeling weak... it was so strange to feel weak... I mean I beat you up with no problem- no offense. So actually being rendered weak... it messed with me... but I am getting better and I will be completely fine in time so you don't have to worry about that."
The male frowned at her words but he was glad she was getting better either way, though not knowing that DG was also making her comfortable again probably helped," Well... I didn't go through the same thing as you but... I did have something traumatic happen to me... but don't tell Mira that I told you or that you know... I don't know how she'd react."
The statement confused the woman but he started explaining to her the reason why he didn't want her to.
" When I was in Elementary to Middle school I knew a guy named Johan. His mom was sick, her eyesight was getting worse and she would cut our hair as kids after church... though I don't believe in god. He was known to be bullied, getting beat up in the alleys near the school and I would save him from them and make sure he was okay... he was weak, and everyone knew it so he'd get embarrassed when I helped him I guess. But one day his mother changed. She stopped believing in the god everyone did and started worshiping a dog god. He invited us to a retreat with the church, well the preacher did after convincing Johan's mom to let him come. She called it 'Eden' and told the preacher she could be saved too and that we were all chosen ones."
" We stayed in the middle of the woods, we were called brothers and sisters and had to walk to the campsite far away from the car. There was a cross in the middle of the camp but it seemed different. There were four points coming out of it in between the cross and... there was a person tied to it like Jesus was covered in blood and bruises from rocks being thrown at him. Once we were in though, it was basically a prison. I tried greeting a puppy when I got there but was almost attacked by its mother but there were so many vicious dogs around us but the man who took us to the camp threw meat at them all and begged for forgiveness."
" He split us up, children and adults were taken to different places. We were taken to a student area and we were forced to give up our phones. The student area they kept us in was a container a bunch of people greeted us, three elementary kids and four high schoolers. After we greeted them all Johan told me we were in a cult now, though Mira had no idea and got along with the little kids well who called her sis. When we got back into the container they were trying to force-feed Mira a roach, we tried to escape and saved the guy tied to the cross who told us a way out. The preacher we came with was apparently the leader of the cult and locked us up to be executed for letting the man we saved go. His mom tried saving us but the leader stayed in the cage with us to make sure no one tried to let us out."
" But they tried executing us that night instead... Johan's mom had a stone thrown into her face until he defended her. He punched every rock away and helped us escape to find Mira because she was dragged away by the leader. He was trying to do what that guy did to you in a room full of dogs. Johan's mom saved us from them, she had a bucket of meat that made them relax instantly and she threw it into the leader. The dogs tried to eat him as we saved Mira... apparently, the plants on the property were drugs that drove the people insane when inhaled and... Johan disappeared."
" But he came back." [Name] said after he spoke his story, almost making the man shocked until he remembered she went to his fight," After the day of the match... even before that, he moved into the underground. He's a part of the bad life my family revolves around."
" I'm not too surprised.. but yeah. That's my fucked up childhood..." Zack stated and noticing the sad environment [Name] tried livening it up.
" Well, that dog shitting on the stage was funny honestly." She giggled, making the man chuckle," She belongs to Johan. Her name is Eden... I love that dog so much..."
" Wait... you see her?" The male asked confused," And Johan?"
" Yeah... I didn't know you two were close... but granted I don't think you'd want to see him all too much." She gave a small smile as the male nodded along a bit, not sure if he'd want to see Johan again either," But... either way you're still strong. Whether or not he beat you."
" Thanks... I know that..." Zack mumbled before looking outside," It's late, you should probably go."
" So caring." The girl teased softly, though once he stopped telling his story she made sure to contact Gun to get her. She smiled though and left a peck on the male's lips that he blushed too and stood up," I'll see you soon, right?"
" Yeah," Zack spoke flustered as [Name] left his house and got into the car parked outside of his home.
" You're out later, and at someone's house." Gun stated as the girl put on her seatbelt as he drove," Did something happen?"
" Besides being told their past, not really... but on that note... you remember Johan?" She questioned, watching the male become depressed at the name.
" How could I forget him?" Gun sighed before realizing the questioning was weird," Why?"
" Do you really want him to be your successor? I mean Jin Jang is planning on overthrowing him." [Name] stated which made Gun groan.
" Jesus Christ, why is it always mine?"
" Because Goo doesn't have any."
" Very true..." Gun nodded along as they got to her apartment," I have a question now."
" What?" The girl asked as she looked at Gun confused.
" When we get inside can we...?" He didn't vocally say it, he knew not to mainly due to the fact of what happened to [Name] but thinking it over with the man who genuinely cared she nodded along slowly.
" I hope you know you're going to have to be extra soft on me." She stated, making the male chuckle.
" Yeah yeah, I will be... at first."
☆ミ
[Name] groaned as she sat on the bus, her hips hurt- correction her whole body hurt. The reason behind that would be right if they dared assume.
It was two days after leaving Zack's and by some miracle, Gun made her sore until her next day of school which was a field trip.
" I see it, we're here!"
" The dark tower hehe."
" The tower of the ring! Haha!"
" So... What is this place?" [Name] questioned Zack who sat beside her, he was assuming the girl was sore from working out which technically could be true.
" It's an amusement park. Have you really not been here?" He questioned, shocked that the rich girl didn't know.
" Bad family." She reminded him making him nod along.
" Oh, right."
" Ah- so many people! How many schools are coming?"
They entered the entrance, people were everywhere as [Name] walked between Zack and Mira. Zoe walked behind them trying to find Daniel in the crowded area. Soon Jay and Joy joined them, helping them hunt down the handsome man before [Name]'s eyes locked on him.
" Yo! Anxiety Attack!"
" Hey!"
Zack was impatient, both hands in his pockets as [Name] elbowed him after his words," Let's go! The lines are getting longer."
" He was lost, chill out."
" Daniel!" Joy called excited to see the male.
" Everyone else ran in already." The male groaned," You're dead if we can't ride much."
Jay started freaking out in his mute language.
" Yeah! What Jay said, stop threatening the poor kid!"
" Girls, what's that in your hair?" Daniel asked the three in front of [Name].
" What?" Zoe questioned with her red and white polka-dot bow headband on.
" Zack you'd look cute with it." Mira tried convincing as [Name] shook her head.
" Nah, he'd look like a pissed Pomeranian... Where do I know that from?"
" Isn't this cute Daniel?" Joy asked with a bird headband on her head.
[Name], Daniel, and Zack got their passes to the park along with Jiho who joined a bit later as Zack practically dragged them into the park.
" Let's go in. Hey [Name], what should we ride first?"
The girl thought for a second before saying confidently," Atlan!"
" Ah! That's scary!"
" Jiho hurry up, these asshats will leave you." [Name] called their friend that was straggling.
Daniel started converating with Jiho then when he realized the male was there," Jiho, where's Duke?"
" He said he's auditioning for that rap battle show." The male shrugged ad [Name] cut in.
" Oh yeah, Vernon and Felix convinced him to join it. They're also competing."
They slowly went up to the ground floor as they stood in a domed building that held several rides and places to go. It reminded [Name] of Disney World. They went to a stand where they were selling more hair bands but [Name] still refuse to wear them as Zack was rocking mouse ears while Daniel and Jay had matching leopard print ears.
" Aww, he looks so cute." [Name] teased, pinching his cheeks as he flourished and tried looking away from the girl," Come on! Let me get a cute picture of the shy mouse~!"
" Wow ♥ Daniel you're cute." Joy complimented.
" Jay, do you like it that much?" Zoe questioned as the male in question hummed happily.
" Daniel, let's ride that!"
" Disco Pow pow!"
" They have that at Notte world?!"
" I dunno... I guess the author wanted to draw it.."
" Author? Draw?" [Name] questioned confused.
They went in line and were the next people up to ride, the DJ was overly excited. There was no way he was paid enough to be that happy," Climb aboard— I'll spin you around right! Oh yeah, let's have a good time!"
" Why does that sound sexual?" [Name] questioned as she sat beside Zack. This was one of the days she was glad she didn't follow the dress code again. She wore jean shorts and a crop top tank top that didn't allow anyone to get a sneak peek of anything.
Once the ride started they were thrown in circles as Joy physically threw herself at Daniel. [Name] kept leaning into Zack and groaned as her sore body was thrown back and forth, making the male help by wrapping one arm around her to keep her in place. Joy attempted to get Daniel to catch her over and over and every time she tried her brother would block her.
Vasco was on the ride as well along with Jace. The two sat in the middle of Jay and Daniel and [Name] and Zack. Vasco barely hung onto the ride rather he was woozy and hunched over on the chair as he made sounds of wanting to throw up. Mira and Zoe sat on the opposite side of the two men, they were fighting desperately to keep their skirts from flying up.
When the ride stopped [Name] instantly went over to Vasco to help Jace carry him off the ride but the moment Jace let go the male grabbed a random bystander and puked all over the ground near him.
" Jesus Vasco, what idiot goes on a ride they're going to get sick on?" [Name] sighed as she rubbed his back, turning to the male he puked near," Sorry, he has motion sickness and is an idiot."
Right as Vasco turned and apologized he turned back to the ground and threw up again.
" Punk! Are you messing with me? Get at me!" The male growled, becoming pissed off though it also blew [Name]'s fuse.
" The fuck you say to him asshole?!" [Name] hissed while cracking her knuckles," Do you wanna die?!"
" You? Fight me?" The male laughed before putting his hand up to slap her but she grabbed his wrist and pressed on his wrist hard enough to make him drop in shock... Right into Vasco's vomit.
Seeing the man do that [Name] couldn't help but sigh as she pulled out her wallet," How much is that? Less than 500? Here asshole."
[Name] threw the cash at the man before pulling Vasco up and walking her with him as they followed her friend group while she rubbed his back," You okay Hun? You threw up a lot... Do you want to get some food?"
" N-No... How can I pay you back [Name]?" Vasco hiccupped, tears bound to fall.
" Calm down Vasco, just eat and go with Jace. You don't need to pay me back." The girl reasoned as the great detective retrieved his friend," Make sure he's good and eats."
" Got it, thanks." The male thanked before walking with Vasco to the closest food court.
The woman sighed before joining her friends again, wrapping her arms around Zack and Jay as they stood with the group," Vasco is gonna be the death of me, I swear."
" I mean the dude is an idiot." Zack stated to earn an elbow in his side," What?! I'm not wrong!"
" You can't talk though mister worst grades."
" I got a good grade on our last test!"
" Because I sent you the answer sheet!"
Then [Name] looked back and saw Jiho mean mugging a group of students," Jiho baby, stop it. They're gonna beat your ass."
The male huffed and followed until the girl pulled him in front of her as a group of girls went up to Daniel.
" Would you take a picture with me? I'm a fan!"
[Name] laughed as he was pulled with the girls until they looked at the woman laughing.
" Oh my god! And [Name]! I should have known you two would know each other! You did post that video on Pacebook together!"
Then [Name] was roped into taking pictures with the three girls until they all started taking pictures together. The first photo done in the photo booth was of all the girls, then all the guys, then [Name] and the guys, [Name] with everyone separately except Joy, then all of them together.
" Ooh! Let's do that!" Zoe called out, pointing to a strength test.
" They give out dolls as prizes~" Mira said excitedly as [Name] saw a frog stuffed animal.
" Oh my god, the frog is so cute~"
" I'll win you two one," Zack said as he took the mallet and slammed it down the hardest he could.
" 85 points!"
" Today's record!"
The first prize was given out to Mira, it being a Pikachu with a SpongeBob face and a dragon fruit," Here Mira, take it! How about that? You like it?"
" Do you genuinely want an answer?" [Name] questioned before taking the mallet herself," Let me try now."
" Hehehe." A voice caught [Name]'s attention. It was the three men from that school that was picking a fight with Vasco," Seoul Kids look like they haven't eaten for days."
Hearing his comment made [Name] slam the mallet down as hard as possible as the score registered.
" 99 Points! New high Score! Notte World's first 99 points!"
[Name] smiled and got her frog, instantly looking over at the three men and flipping them off happily. She went over to Zack while holding her stuffed animal happily as the man making jokes decided to come over and take a turn.
When he slammed the mallet down she couldn't help but laugh out loud at the score," 98 points! Good try."
" HA BITCH! LOST TO A GIRL!" [Name] laughed her ass off as the man's girlfriend started asking Daniel for his number.
Daniel ended up running off with Crystal while everyone tried splitting after that.
" Let's ride what we want." Zack stated his arms around [Name] and Mira," and meet back up to eat."
" Okay—" Joy stated while slapping Jay's back," Bro! Let's go to the magic island!"
" Mira let's go to Atlan!" Zoe spoke chipper while Mira nodded along," Okay."
Zack sighed but was glad he had [Name], then he noticed Jiho and glared at him instantly.
" Zack, stop it. You said yourself split up. He's with us and you can't say shit. Come on Jiho." [Name] reprimanded as she called the short man towards them.
They went over to Atlantis first. They waited in the line for over an hour by the time they reached the front and [Name] was using Zack as a crutch. Her feet were getting sore while waiting- though Gun's acts two days ago didn't help either.
" Ahem!" A voice called behind them with a hand going to hold Zack's shoulder," Move."
" Huh?!" Zack grumbled, not being happy with standing for so long either," Hey, don't cut in."
" Punk!" It was the guy from before that [Name] beat in the strength game," You want your melon busted."
" Seeing as you lost to me I doubt you'd be able to do that jackass." [Name] stated as she fully turned around with her arms crossed.
" Hey! I said move." The man tried again as [Name] stood her ground.
" Make us bitch."
" End of the line." Zack hissed," Do as I say."
[Name] rolled her eyes at Zack's words before she spoke again," Stop embarrassing yourselves. You want to be called Hicks?"
Instantly the man's anger burned as he swung to punch the woman but before he could land his punch [Name] dodged and did her infamous twist and elbow technique right into his face. He groaned at the hit and the power of the woman but right as he started becoming reorientated Zack threw a punch to his face," Do it right and fight the man instead."
" Punk! I'm gonna fucking crush your melon!"
Then instantly the fight was stopped by his girlfriend that slapped him in the head," Stop it!"
Then she started dragging him out by the ear," I followed you because my legs were hurting but you're embarrassing me."
After that, it wasn't long until Zack, Jiho, and [Name] got in. They were waiting behind the gate for the 2nd line as the ride attendants were doing a whole act of dancing while introducing the ride. When the gates opened the three of them went in. Zack was in the middle while [Name] was on the right and Jiho was on the left. When the ride started going [Name] felt anxiety welding up her from the height and to help her calm down Zack held her hand right before they dropped and when they had a scream of pure terror left Jiho while the other two were screaming and laughing. The ride was a water ride that sprayed water back at the riders when they reached the end and [Name] was practically drowned by the time they got out.
They started walking around again but this time they saw the guy that attacked them going after Daniel. However, the male was dodging him pretty well.
" Why's that bull bugging again?" Zack questioned, making [Name] shrug.
" I've been with you, why should I know?"
" I think Daniel really is the biggest problem. He pretends to be nice and always ends up fighting." Zack sweat dropped irritatedly.
" Calm down, Ali. He's not exactly trying, unlike someone." [Name] waved at the male who flourished.
" I'm not trying to either!"
" Shhh, it's hot when you fight. Don't get your panties in a twist." [Name] pushed his shoulder before she got a text message making her smile widely," Hey, you remember that guy we met at the movies?"
" Your coworker? Yeah, why?" Zack questioned confused as to why she would bring him up, especially seeing as how he got jealous beyond belief when he met him.
" Come on, he's here with his group. Oh, and I'm not his coworker anymore. I quit that job." [Name] explained while thinking back to the boys," That reminds me to get with the guys again. I miss them."
" They were cool... but where is he?" Zack questioned as [Name] just dragged him towards a stage where the boys were setting up behind the stage.
" I'm gonna go back there and talk to Oli, be back and save my spot." [Name] explained, making the man grumble.
" Yeah, yeah." He crossed his arms over his chest, making [Name] roll her eyes and kiss his cheek as she walked off to the back of the stage.
At first as [Name] tried to walk in she was stopped by security. She would have threatened them if it wasn't for Oli yelling over at the security guard to let her in. She could only let out a huff and walked over to Oli as her smile grew.
" [Name]! It's been so long! How have you been since leaving the company?"
" Good, I have so much more time now. I see you've been doing good. How have the boys been? And Lasol?" [Name] questioned as the other boys got ready with makeup artists," Is your makeup and hair done? I can think of another way to style your hair honestly."
" Lasol is great, she thanks you for recommending her and the guys have been bothering the both of us to get you to swing by the dorms at some point. They say phone calls and texting aren't enough for them." Oli chuckles before brushing his bowl cut," How would you style it?"
" They're big babies." [Name] laughed before waving the male to follow her to the stylist chairs, brushing his hair and applying gel to it to make it have more volume and part it so one part curls over his forehead while the other spikes up due to it being too short to go anywhere else," Gotta say, loving the eyebrow slit."
" Really? I wasn't too sure of it." Oli admits while rubbing the back of his hair," I do like this hairstyle more though."
" See? A few years in the industry teaches you a few things." [Name] smiles as she hears the MC start his intro," Go kick some ass."
" Oh, actually we have another surprise. Daniel is joining us on stage. One of our members got injured on Men on a Mission." Oli spoke nervously remembering what happened.
" Oh yeah, the soccer ball shot. Hope he can have kids in the future." [Name] giggled before waving bye," Well, I hope you guys have fun. He'll love the opportunity."
" See you. And thanks for everything." He smiled while she rubbed his back and walked out to watch the performance.
