Anon asked: Hi, Iโm a new follower, but could I request a mafia/slight yandere Zico scenario where his s/o is one of his maids, and he falls for her??โค๏ธ
Oh my gosh! I love this! I had been writing something along the lines of a ZICO and Dean mafia AU last year but never got around to posting it, but this is brilliant! Maybe I will post it after all! But here you go sweetie!
Gender: Mafia | Light Yandere | Romance
โWe met less than a week ago and in that time I've done nothing but lie and cheat and betray you. I know. But if you give me a chance...all I want is to protect you. To be near you. For as long as I'm able.โ
It was you. It had always been you. Well, only since the beginning of that month where he had met you, but still, it was you.
He had never yearned for anything so bad in his life, besides money, and power; but he was never one to flock after someone else. Most women gravitated towards him, and for what? His money? Looks? Status perhaps? Thatโs what made him so cold and bored when it came to โcatching feelingsโ or dare he say the โLโ word.
Sure he loved things too. Seeing a beautiful, voluptuous ๏ฟผlady, dancing on him in the silhouette๏ฟผ of the clubโs colorful, flashing lights. Taking a swig from a malt whiskey on the rocks, that would surely burn his throat at first, but bring him a feeling of calm soon after. Money. And most of all, the woman who brought him into this world, his mother.
But other people? There was no way he could use that word towards them. Not even the word liked, crossed his mind, until you.
You needed a job, desperately enough to even consider taking such a job as tending to the house of a well known mobster. You had previously worked for helping to tend a local cafe down the street from this job, but that was soon pulled from under your feet as it came to a close from slow work and less money coming in. The owner, whom you had known for years, had mentioned that his older brother knew a friend who was looking for someone to help with housekeeping, but of course didnโt give too much detail. It wasnโt until you had been brought into the lavish palace that you had suspicions, still you decided not to ask questions.
It was a job, and a job you instantly got so there was no reason to question or complain about it.
The first week was hell. You put up with the berrading and sleezy comments from other men that came in and out the house while you did your cleaning duties. They continued to harass you with comments about your outfit to the way you were cleaning certain things. You admit, it hurt and you just wanted out, but you couldnโt quit now. You just had to push through.
However, after another two weeks of that, you had had enough. Instead of quitting you decided that it was best to try and talk with the head of household. Thatโs where you first met him. Jiho Woo. He wasnโt as easy on the eyes, that matched his sharp personality. He was indeed handsome, but you his narrow and cold eyes, that starred you down as you were escorted inside, made you freeze up, making you forget what you had went in there for in the first place, for a quick minute.
He opened his mouth as he began.
โWhatโya need sweetheart?โ He asked as he gave you another quick glance over before going back to writing something down.
This took you by surprise, being as the way he looked, you thought his voice would match. โUh- well I was wondering if you could tell the other men if they could wait to make commentary until Iโve left for the day? It really makes me uncomfortable if Iโm being honest..โ
โHuh..?โ This made him look up and over at you again, only this time with a small smirk of amusement. โMy men are free to say and do what they want. This is partially their humble abode too,โ He continued as he leaned back in his chair while propping up his feet on one corner of the giant crafted desk. โYouโre just the guest, and Iโm paying you, am I not?โ
โYes sir..โ it took you a while to gather words, any words, as after he said that, it felt as if he had shoved all you just said, right back down your throat until it grew into a right and painful ball. โIโm sorry.โ You said abruptly as you made your way out the room and back to work.
โWhy did you say that?!..Idiot...โ
Jiho stood there, beating him up about the first time he officially talked with you, as he stood there in the same place that it took place. The door handle turned and pulled back as the door opened, before one of his men walked in, dragging another man into the room who was curssing at the top of his lungs.
โLet me go you stupid f*ck! Iโll *uckinโ k*ll you!โ
โShut up!โ The man holding him yelled back while thrusting his fist into his mouth.
Jiho calmly walked over to him as put a foot against his head with a serious expression. โIs this him? The rat that has been sending information to the others!โ
โYep- This is him boss. What do you want us to do with him?โ
He sniffed as he watched him start to squirm again and grow loud with a blank stare, before slamming his foot down on him. โYou know what we do with rats..โ He said as he pulled his foot away, and stood upright, watching as the man who yelled out just a second ago, lay there now in a painful daze.
โYou got it bossโ The tall, slender man said as he started to say as he dragged him away. โWant me to go get that pretty piece and have her clean this blood up? She would probably look better on her hands and knees huh boss?โ He stifled a laugh but it didnโt last long as he was struck on the side of the face by Jihoโs burning fist.
โYou better stop with the way you f*ckinโ talk bout her, you hear? Otherwise, youโll end up joining this rat too. That goes for everyone, let them know too.โ He said with an ice cold tone as he watched him hurrying out the room with a look of shock while nodding. โOf course sir- Iโm sorry-โ
โF*ck-โ He sighed as he leaned against the front of the desk while looking down at the bruise that started to form on his define knuckle. โWhy the hell did I do that..?โ
You had seen the whole thing from a sliver from the door that was open just slightly. This now confirmed it. You heard from friends that the house you had worked at was that of a dangerous mobster and his men. At first this didnโt scare you, as you didnโt believe it. There was no way that they would let someone such as yourself inside their hideaway, but now after seeing all of what just happened, you felt scared. You knew you had to get out of there, but how-
โ(y/n)?โ You felt your body grow stuck in place as the door creaked open, revealing Jiho standing there, his bruised hand, above you, holding the door, the other hand on his hip.
โMr. Woo- I.โ You panicked, but your body felt so heavy that you just couldnโt move. And how could you? If you ran after he knew what you had see, thereโs no way he would let you leave. You were now a witness to the beating, or even worse, death, of that man. โ I didnโt see anything..I just...โ
โCan you just get some ice and bring it here?โ He exhaled and spoke out in an exhausted tone. He couldnโt help it. Seeing you, in so much fear and confusion, made him recoil. All the pent up frustration, made him tired in the end. He just needed a stiff drink.
โO-okay.โ You said before zooming downstairs and going towards the kitchen. You could have just left, but you knew he had your information and could easily track you down, knowing that now he was a gang leader. There was no use. You decided you would take him the ice, then try and come up with a reason you had to go home. There was no way you could quit now; you thought that if you did he was sure to get to you before you could. It would just make things more suspicious.
You made your way back upstairs, each step feeling heavier than the last. Finally there you were, meeting him, and him alone in the office.
โHere you go.โ You said softly as you walked over to where he was, sitting on the chair a few good inches from the desk, and grabbed his hand to place the bag of ice on it, to which he quickly pulled away.
โThe hell are you doing?!โ He asked in surprise, though it sounded like anger. This made you take a step back to which he lowered his voice and arched eyebrows. โSorry- I just meant that the ice was for my glass.โ He said as he opened the bag, and pour the cubes into his glass with a clink, before pouring himself a stiff drink of that amber liquid. โI didnโt mean to scare you.โ He could feel the fine follicles on the back of his neck stiffen as his face grew hot in embarrassment. What the hell was this? Had you just made him anxious? No one had even done that before, not even when it came to his enemies and the many times they looked him in the eyes as they got close to taking his life.
Although you were at first, you could then sense the sincery in his voice and took a step towards him. โitโs okay..โ
The air was thick and heavy as you waited for him to take a long and hard few gulps from his glass before setting it down again. You looked around the giant, dim room, only to stop your sight on the speckled blood that stained the rug.
โI- let me go get my materials to come clean that up before it seeps into it!โ You started to say as turned to rush out, more so from this awkward atmosphere.
โ(y/n) wait a minute-โ Jiho said abruptly as he started to get up from his seat.
You stopped in your tracks, still afraid from the scene before, worrried if you didnโt listen to him, you would get the same treatment as that unfortunate man.
โYou donโt have to worry about it, mโkay?โ He said reassuringly as he sat back down in his chair. โAll I really want you to do, is stay, and listen.โ
You were surprised by all of this but nodded as you came back and stood with your hands clasped together in front of you next to the desk he sat at.
Jiho knew in this moment, it was a big mistake for him to call you back in as you stood there, looking pretty, seriously pretty to him. He noticed your lovely features that made you, you. Your hair, the hues you had to your body, eyes, strands, lips, fingertips. How had he never seen you in this light before?
He reached for his glass to get another drink, but accidentally knocked it over onto him with a low and and frustrated growl, to which made you smile and giggle. You had never seen him so clumsy, but cool all the time so seeing his was a rare sight.
He quickly looked up at you just in time to see your smile, followed by your giggle, and couldnโt help but stare. This scared you though, thinking that you had made him mad for laughing at him, but that didnโt seem like the case as he smirked. โWow- thatโs the first time Iโve seen you smile around this crummy place.โ This moment confirmed it. He had taken interest in you.
You could feel the air lessen and feel lighter as you blinked a few times before giving a small smile and shrug, โItโs because this is the first Iโve seen you being clumsy-โ You paused as your smile faded. โSorry.โ
โLaughing at you- which Iโm not! I just thought it was a little funny..โ
โSweetheart, you donโt have to explain yourself or emotions. I should be the one apologizing.โ
โI was a real d*ck to you, and so were my boys. You were just doing your job, and thatโs not a way to treat a lady. That, and you having to see that mess from earlier.โ
You looked down back towards the stained rug. That was sure to stick with you for sometime, but you were happy to have him acknowledge the treatment you were getting and felt happy to have an apology.
โThank you.โ You gave him a smile, to which he smiled back at. In this moment he didnโt seem like the scary gangster you had met back then. โI should get back to it then.โ
โStay.โ He said as he stood up, gently putting his hand near yours, gently touching his fingers against yours. Usually he had always gotten what he wanted, and as bad as he wanted to grab your hand, or just all of you within his arms, he knew that patients๏ฟผ was important so he didnโt scare you away, let alone disrespected you. โI mean, Iโd rather you stick close until my men are done downstairs. Donโt want you running into anymore violence today.โ
That last sentence made him pause.
That was one thing you were sure to be around if he pursued you. He couldnโt have that, it hurt him to let you go, but maybe it was the best thing. No- He has never felt this way for someone before, and he wasnโt sure if he would ever again. He had to at least try even if it might have meant that you were to be in danger, but he knew one thing. If you were to somehow magically give him a chance, he would give you the world and make sure that no one would ever touch you.
With a tight expression, he looked over at you and pursed his lips together before opening his mouth. โ(y/n)..I have something I want to ask, would a pretty gal like yourself want to go out?โ
Your eyes almost popped out of your head as you looked at him in a surprised manner. โGo out? Like a date?โ
โJust one night, give it some thought at least okay? Iโll be honest in saying that Iโve never done this before, asked someone else out, but Iโm hopping to get a chance to talk with you in a less formal setting.โ
All the fear and anxiety you felt before wasnโt quite there anymore. You sighed as he spoke, but happily. You wanted to give him the ne edit of the doubt and get to know him since you would be working with him.
โYes, I would love to.โ ๏ฟผ
He smiled and leaned back in his seat, wondering how this would all play out.
