Bang Chan's POV- Past
When my mate Felix told me he finally convinced his father to leave for Korea I was glad but wasn't aware that there was a condition until the moment he arrived at the airport. Changbin and I went to pick him up and he stated that he wouldn't be coming to our compound, or home as the Strays like to call it, but a friend's house. Despite being a surprised I asked for Changbin to change our route and he took us to a place further away from all the commotion we were used to by being in the middle of Seoul, as we arrived I noticed the neighborhood was a simpler one, it looked family friendly and peaceful. I remember thinking that it would've been nice to live in such a easy sort of lifestyle but the thought easily slipped away when I started to think back on why I formed this mafia to begin with.
While we stared at the door Felix blurted out a strange idea: I could live with them. Imagining, even for just a second, a life apart from Stray Kids was crazy. But it sounded so compelling for some reason, a chance for a little bit of freedom. Maybe they could live without me for a while and I could stay with Felix in his friend's house. What could go wrong?
I released Changbin to his usual duties and stayed along with my mate. Before knocking I remember how I lied to my father that I would move out of my old, crappy and cramped apartment to stay with Felix somewhere else but I had no idea it would be in someone's house he knew here in Seoul, this could go south really easily. "Oi Felix, did you know about this?" for a moment the ginger just looked at me cautiously and nodded "Our dads talked and... it's all settled now Chan, please don't kill me." I wouldn't kill him, at least not in front of the whole neighborhood, of course. This boy is truly a mastermind, no doubt an essencial member to my mafia, this betrayal won't be forgotten though.
After finishing our discussion I gave one last look at the tranquil sunrise and roughly knocked on the front door, a minute later a tall man in his mid forties came out and gave us a small smile not without analyzing the both of us.
From that day onward I had made only one mistake: falling for Y/N. That was, without any doubt, the stupidest thing I've done. Instead of staying away from her I let my emotions take control and allowed myself to enjoy her presence, whenever she was around it was guaranteed that I would have a good time. Every aspect about her made me drawn in... which was a bad thing but I ignored it for a long time, until now.
Her dad caught us "on the act" and there was no going around that, all of us were put on a tough spot. The head of police asked his daughter to leave the room and we were left alone, even though I've already been in way deadlier situations this actually left me a bit worried for my lifespan. Don't judge me, I am a mafia leader living under the roof of a cop (actually the highest member of the police) and I was making out with his daughter right in front of his face. I had reasons to be at least freaked out.
"You come into my house, I give you food, a roof, respect and this is what you repay me with boy? I am a reasonable man, I know about your previous situation, your father told me all about it." he looked at me with a sympathetic look on his face, if he only knew the truth I don't think he would be as sympathetic "BUT, I won't allow this sort of behavior on my house anymore. What do you feel about a deal?" I was at his mercy and he knew it so I simply had to agree to whatever terms he came up with. "How about you and Felix get a job, raise money for a month, and get yourselves your own house? Meanwhile you can still live here, keeping your distance from Y/N, of course." And I had to agree to that, we both shook hands and went to our rooms.
Y/N's POV - Present
Life went on after the whole incident with Chan. I was able to catch up with the school assignments I missed on Monday and everything seems to be back to normal. The whole week passed by without any big eventful moments, good thing for my ever so sensitive heart. I did start to hang around with Stray Kids more, the whole spying on them is still going so I always keep my ears open for any slips they might make, any detail worth reporting back to ATEEZ, but they never say anything related to the mafia when they're at school so I only sit back and enjoy my time with the boys, who can be very entertaining in their own crazy way.
Friday arrives rather quickly, most teens seem quite excited for their weekend plans, or the lack of them, but for me Friday simply means that a mission is probably freshly on its way. And I'm right about that part. As soon as the last school bell rings and my Aussie friends leave the classroom without me I am trapped by two pairs of strong arms, I immediately start squirming from the sudden display of contact "I don't care who is it, let me go now and you won't be missing a limb." the boys give up and spin me around like I'm their own doll, Mingi and Yunho have dangerous smirks placed on their undeniably handsome faces. Life is tough for poor old me.
The duo stare at each other for a while, maybe they're telepathically talking can't be sure, after every student leaves to their own paths the dazzling hot brunette, Mingi, acknowledges my existence again "Y/N! We have a mission for you tonight, I'm sure you were dying to hear this, right?" I don't even know what to reply, is this situation remotely fun for them? Yunho throws me a quizzical look "Aren't you happy to be out of your boring life and with us?" his question almost sounds genuine but the look on his eyes totally betray him, the goofy expression soon returns to his face and he knows I can't escape them. The sneaky koreans drag me to their expensive car and don't waste time into shoving me inside of it, alone in the back seat "Do I look like a child to you two?" a loud sneaker from one of them is all I get for the next 10 minutes, which is astonishing, I never thought they could stay quiet for so long. Bored out of my mind I ask them if it'll take much longer, when they only agree I fall back into the seat and ready myself for a nice slumber.
Light. Extremely bright light. Like someone purposely put the light of their phone directly to my face, I react by punching whatever is in front of me, it ends up being a face, ops... I feel a hand holding mine, helping me up and I take it. I brace myself for whatever scolding is coming for punching the guy's face but when I open my eyes I see a smiling Wooyoung, what a sight that is.
As I'm still a bit sleepy is really weird to see Wooyoung here, actually, where am I? When I'm completely out of the car my eyes wonder around the now dark scenario, there is a glorious victorian mansion a bit ahead of us but that is totally expected from one of their houses what I'm a bit freaked out about are all of the threes surrounding us it seems like this is a very private and isolated residence in the middle of nowhere. Rich people, am I right? Without much thought I wonder out loud "Who's house is this? It's so pretty..." As if to answer me a casually dressed, but with a graceful air, San opens the enormous door to his not so humble house and motions for us to come inside.
The four of us make our way through the beautiful garden filled with roses, dahlias and pretty much every flower you could name, while admiring those beauties a sly hand entwines with mine and gives it a little squeeze, I look up to see a cheery Wooyoung who leans in to give me a quick peck "I've missed you... You shouldn't hang around with those Strays for so long." a small pout forms into those beautiful pink lips and I melt with his cute expression. Maybe I'm blushing, it's too dark to notice it though.
While the outside of this mansion is breathtaking the inside looks marvelous and something out of a disney movie, high ceilings with paintings covering every wall, a fancy wallpaper decorating the whole living room, Persian carpets are laid out and extremely inviting crimson velvet sofas are just waiting for me to lay back and relax. While I admired the whole room San was fetching something in the kitchen, someone actually, my eyes are probably fooling me I must be too tired, this can't actually be that sassy stupid girl from the school restroom. "So guys, now that most of you are already here I'll introduce you to ... my (sigh) fiancée, Kim Sang Hee." It is true then, San really is chained to this maniac, poo- actually I shouldn't pity him look at all this (refers to house and rich stuff) a faint look of anger passes through the spoiled girl's face, do I bother her in anyway? I hope so. "Sang Hee unnie! We've met before, it's great to see you again (said no one ever)." she doesn't even pretend to be nice, straight out ignores me and go directly to Wooyoung who is (still) holding my hand. She yanks him out of me and awkwardly hugs him, while his back is facing me the disgusting girl gives me a death glare. Ugh, so immature, but... two can play at this game.
Call it jealously but when I saw both of them hugging like that I felt like throwing this excuse of a girl into the bloody ocean. San looks so done with her, with this life of his so I decide to mess with him to take his mind off these girl problems, I come up to his ear and lowly whisper "Let's go somewhere else, hm?" okokok maybe this wasn't my finest idea, regret comes quite quickly when I see the lust all over his pretty face. Me and San make our way upstairs without raising much suspicion, the house is so huge that two people running away can easily go unnoticed. The whole way to his bedroom is already quite a tour, every now and then I catch him staring at me "Could you quit with those hungry looks? Just get yourself some food." instead of the expected laughter I am greeted with silence, growing sounds of voices can be heard and that's what we're avoiding so San pulls me into a random room and quickly shuts the door, by simple fate our noses are barely touching and I can't help but stare at the defined outlines of his sculpted face also that mouth of his . . . "Now that we're all alone I can tell you what will be going on tonight, is that fine with you?"
Oh shit. I totally forgot I'm their slave and they can boss me around however they want. Whatever's coming it can't be that bad, right?
