VINCENZO CASSANO . 

it took him roughly two minutes to pick the lock,   more than surprised with the lack of proper security netted around the entrance itself.    instinctively,   he can’t help but wonder if such ease in breaking in was meant to distract perpetrators in believing their job was successful so whatever awaited them inside would catch them off guard.    but he’d scoped out the place,   had mr. nam check the schedule of the guards and the owner of this specific home.    there would be nobody here for the next ten minutes,   especially since the target at hand had been at a fundraiser and would be arriving home with the full fleet of personal security.    

he was slipping his tools into the pocket of his coat as he watches cha - young hobble into the room and make herself at home.    tch.    what a woman.         “  i was not looking at   -     was i looking at you in a specific manner ??  ”         he’s quick to defend himself,   brows raising to match the incredulousness in his tone.    it would appear he’d loosened the reins on his expressions,   in not caring so deeply as to keep himself as expressionless as possible.    it was difficult to do so in her presence.         “  there is no judgement coming from me.    you chose to wear those shoes.    you reap what you sow.  ”         there’s a lightness to his words,   amusement twitching at the end of brims.         “  i would offer you mine for the time being but they would not fit and you would trip and fall out of that balcony window.  ”         he’s referring to the window stretching across the entire half of the room,   curtains drawn,   thankfully.

with that,   he adjusts the lapel of his coat,   hands then trailing towards the back of his waistband for his gun.    his gaze meets hers right as she’s about to say   mafia,   to which his stare narrows at her with a stern expression washing over only for it to fade with the replacement of macaroon.    of course.    a heavy sigh releases from the depths of his lungs as he moves both hands out in front of him,   stretching his arms and craning his neck to the side and back.         “  he’s the director of a company who makes the equipment babel uses.    from the beakers to the ingredients.    apart,   they’re nothing.    but with what babel does with them     …    ”         he trails off purposely,   knowing she would understand the implication.         “  need to get him to pull out of the exchange.  ” 

completely devoid of presence other than their own, that meant vincenzo and cha - young had plenty of time. whilst taking in the information, digits massaged the arch of her foot; crept around the fabric of her shoe to relieve the pain she was so adamant that she was experiencing. she chooses to take his first two statements with a grain of salt, a soft hum reverberated from her throat as she looked askance. the statement that follows, though, is what gets a quick-witted response out of her. “ thanks for the offer, you are such a gentleman, mr. cassano. ” grin plastered upon her countenance, pushing herself up from the couch and taking prolonged strides along the complex. she was allowing herself to take in the details, but that’s when vincenzo gestured toward the curtains. which, in turn, make her turn around without a second thought.

the revelation of WHO evoked clear interest. the intrigue tugged at her features like puppeteer strings, thus quickly adjusting her position into that of a fighting stance. “ pull him out of the exchange ? easy - peasy - lemon - squeezey. i’ll get him to pull out of the exchange with ease. ” and just as quick as she assumed the stance, it faded with her hands now pushing back her hair from her shoulders to her back, tucking loose strands from the front of her face to behind her ears. she then adjusts herself appropriately, tugging the buttoned jacket down once and holding her chin high. “ though hypothetically, what will we do different with him if he refuses ? ”

alright who can i be a menace to with my cha-young? yeah…. plotting call.

[jipurong]

plotted starter for @consigleire

“ ow, ow, ow ⎯⎯⎯ ” countenance shriveled into a grimace, shuffling her way to the couch. quickly, she removes her new heels and sighs pleasantly; relief trickled from roseate petals and slumped her body against the surface of the furniture. this relief was only temporary, they did not belong here. this was not her home, nor was it his. among an empty abode minus the two of them and minuscule decor, arms slink to the back of the couch, tilting her head backward; facing up to captivate sight of the design of the ceiling. it was no different than many other homes. except vincenzo’s, illuminated by faux stars when encompassed by the dead of night.

one leg swung over the other, politely at that, before she retracted from her relaxed position to where one hand held her knee and the other captured her chin when she leaned back up. optics glued to that of the other, as if expecting his own quick - witted response in remark to the state of the complex. “ hey, don’t look at me like that ! ” she hissed, brows furrowed. index finger met with vincenzo’s direction, “ you would not be able to survive in heels, much less during a mission such as this. you have no room to judge me. ”

huff reverberated from her chest, reluctance clear in her body language as she retrieves the heels and puts them back on. if this had been either of their own homes, they’d be off a long time ago anyway, but they had business to attend to. she leans in with anticipation, slight visual of a grin etching into her features. the corners of her lips curled, and now both hands propped her head up. “ so, who is it we are going all ma⎯⎯⎯ ” he hates when she does that. “ macaroon on ? ” a bit of an inside joke now by this point, she could feel his annoyance in her bones; his eyes would roll into the years to come of this bond they formed.

@leadruse asked  ⠀ ⠀ ﹕ ⠀ ⠀ ❛ i hope to repay your kindness someday. ❜

she shouldn’t have left her room. she was still in pain, yet still pushed to see him more than focus on her shoulder healing. frame sunk into the chair next to han - seo’s hospital bed. truthfully, she hadn’t expected him to be awake just yet. she, herself, had just woken up a few hours ago. strange ( … ) the two had a similar fate. one of her initial instincts was to check on the other. han - seo’s condition was much more severe than her own. the very thing she woke up to was the imagery of crimson staining the floors, an ocean of blood trying to drown han - seo with it. her own memory was slightly clouded, having lost quite a bit of blood herself, but she remembers one thing for certain: han - seo deserved the attention of the paramedics first. they were lucky … a few minutes later, and han - seo would have suffered a fate many did by the hands of HAN - SEOK.

“ vincenzo and i are paying for this room. your medical bills will be taken care of, and security is posted up by your door at all times. ” syllables eventually river from her pastel pink lips. her eyes did not meet with his yet, instead focused on the intertwining of her own digits. it only took a moment before chestnut optics searched for his visage, implanted there once found. a short smile in return, as a response to wanting to pay back for their kindness. “ that won’t be necessary. just focus on … getting better. for everyone. ”

To be honest, everything we did was so cruel that it was hard for me to endure. But do you know why I supported you? There’s no law that can punish a monster like Jang Han-seok. And there are no other options. That’s why I supported your method, the lesser evil. I thought that was the right thing to do.
