School Ties; Gary&Siwon
Siwon really did groan in the back of his throat. It echoes there and seethes with immediate irritation even as he plasters on a polite smile. Maybe they’ll ignore each other and go their separate ways. It’s far more likely they won’t, that he’ll lift himself from the chair in which he’d been sipping his sauvignon blanc as he waited for his date, some nice, bland, appropriately wealthy daughter of one of his father’s business partners that he’d been instructed to entertain, wine and dine, maybe kiss a little, but never fuck, that’s against the rules. Leave her wanting more and her father assured her precious virginity is intact. Pft. As if it’s been intact since she was fifteen, please. The willful ignorance of some men was appalling.
Honestly, he’d rather entertain himself by verbally sparring with his old classmate, his hyung, the one he loves to hate and hates to love.
They’d made eye contact, and the bimbo hadn’t arrived yet...
And he loved the look on Gary’s face when he lifted himself to walk over and slide into the seat next to him at the bar.
“Hyung,” he greets nonchalantly. “It’s been a while. Glad to see you’re in the business after all. The teachers always did say you were going places.”
Game of Smiles; Siwon&Noir
{sandaraxda}
Ring ring
Noir was going to be furious.
Ring ring
But it was against the rules of their little game for her to show it, especially after he’d already extended an invitation to dinner that he was merely, harmlessly following up on.
Ring ring
Never mind how he got her number when she’d never even hinted at giving it to him. Siwon has connections, she knows that well enough, there’s not too much reason for her to be surprised that he’s contacting her in this manner. She’s less the woman of mystery she thinks she is even as she’s his greatest, most puzzling, enigma, his Siren poised on the edge of a cliff with fire in her hair and held in the palm of her hand.
“Mon cherie.” His smile was visible in his voice. “It’s Choi Siwon. I was wondering if you were free tonight for the dinner we’d talked about?”
black comedy;
the slick black phone vibrated against the wooden counter with two new messages on the screen; krystal just finished reading the second one when a deep voice addressed her name from the back (jung, she intended to keep, not only because her own bastard father did not want to claim her as his own, but also a reminder to her equally whore of a mother that the little girl she left in front of a huge gate in the midst of a heavy rain, is still alive). that was a good decision he made though, hide and seek is not exactly the kind of game an impatient woman like her would play. “just krystal, mr. choi,” she corrected, hazel eyes scanning his designer suit with an approving look. he looked as if he jumped right out of a box-office hit movie. “had i known earlier, i would have dressed more properly for the occasion. but you know, it’s quite uncomfortable to keep stuff under a tight dress. i apologize for the lack of formality.”
her drink was almost finished when he motioned for his’, chuckling on how he answered for himself and took the remnants in the crystal glass in one down. “old hag by your left, probably in her late 50′s, quite a liking for tall and handsome lads…” she purposely lingered there, turning to the male with a rather playful wink to state the obvious, before asking the bartender to give her the same drink he just ordered. “i’m still not sure why she would need explosives, perhaps competition in her business, anyway mr. bailiol says she’s a big fish, pays really good. i’m guessing you know what to do?”
“Krystal it is,” he concurred and took a sip from his whiskey. “And you can call me Siwon, if that’s the level you feel we should be on.” After glancing over at the target Krystal had indicated he flashed her a small smirk, establishing briefly his “interest,” so it wouldn’t seem so strange that he would approach her in a few minutes.
“A tall, handsome lad I am, so I think this relationship should go... swimmingly. And good choice of drink, madame.” He clinked his glass against her own and flashed a smile. “There’s always a reason. Everyone has secrets. The fewer secrets you keep, the safer you are. The more secrets you know, the stronger you are.” He glanced back to the woman and straightened his already impeccable tie.
“No need to worry. How much to want me to take from her? Just make sure she doesn’t buy the explosives, or...? How much money are we talking?”
10 / ∞ Kim Jong Kook
Seme Senpai?
Jaejun hadn’t thought of that.
Sure, he found this Siwon fellow exceedingly attractive, but hey! That was the point of a seme right!? Manga’s hardly ever had normal looking people acting as important characters, and Jaejun always took it upon himself to be the definition of ‘abnormal’ with his appearance for that reason! He didn’t want to be a fleeting side character that only appeared for a single chapter within an entire story!
But wondering if this guy would play as his seme? That has Jaejun’s mouth left gaping open in shock and awe.
Was he an uke then!?
“Oh! Well my Japanese is pretty good if I do say so myself! It simply won’t do to read a translation after all, because you can’t translate the words of the heart~” he replies happily instead of addressing the initial question, mouth lined in a smug smile that says he’s mentally patting himself on the back. Oh no wait he really does reach around and pat himself on the back. A moment later though, he’s stroking at his chin and the imagined pondering beard he doesn’t actually have growing there.
“Hmmm… I wouldn’t know yet if that’s how this story is meant to unfold. Are you perhaps… well are you perhaps exceedingly lonely and looking for a younger man to spice up your life? Or maybe I’m meant to endlessly stalk and annoy you until you crack and have your way with me? No. You smile too much for that though…” he muses as his fingers tap along his jaw and sips at his whipped and sugary drink with narrowed eyes of concentration.
Eventually he huffs and seems to give up on thinking this all through, vigorously wiping his crumby hands on a rumpled napkin on the table. Only to realize it was the napkin full of his earlier notes…
“Ah fuck,” he says, looking sadly at the mess he’d made of his notes, before just tossing that over his head to be rid of it, while taking to slurping noisily at his drink though the straw afterwards.
“Look. Mr. Seme,” he starts on a much more mature note than he’s shown thus far, like he’s one of the stuffy men in suits that Siwon probably sits down to meetings with, although he fiddles with his straw using his tongue as he does so. “While its not every day I meet a character such as yourself, I don’t think its wise to tempt the fate of this story too much by thinking through our roles. Its not as though you think too hard about your God guy do you now? You just let this God dude’s plans as you said, do what they will, yessum?”
And it seems like he can only hold himself to so much decorum for a short period before it falls back to his usual way of being.
He sits back to listen with a content, amused smile and his coffee held between both hands. “I’m not exceedingly lonely, but I am lonely. You know... to a point. And a younger man to spice up my life, I could use one of those, yes.” He quirks a brow up with a slight smirk. “But I supposed I could always crack and decide to have my way with you. You’re quite handsome.”
Finishing about half his coffee, he flashes a charming smile. “Ah... I think this name should stick, really. Mr. Seme. I like it quite a bit. That being said, I do agree with your idea not to examine our roles too closely. Only God knows what we’re all destined for, so we must simply trust in Him. So yes, I just... Do as I do, try to make good, Christian choices, try not to hurt anyone, and let God guide me as he will.”
Siwon gestures to Jaejun’s glasses. “You know... You chose quite well. The brand, I mean. For your glasses. But if we’re going to get you a fancy new pair don’t you think you should have an outfit to match?” He flashes a grin. Siwon has always loved spoiling people. Especially cute people, cute people he could easily envision squirming beneath him.
“Perhaps it was an act of God that you fell, after all, my dear. We met, and now I have an excuse to get a new suit!”

Keep Your Enemy Closer
Noir listens to his reasoning. Safe, fun, there can be differences and maybe he’s right. A few pleasures and amusement here and there is necessary and he’s willing to give it to her which she was thankful. She needs some company in the dark hours of the night but then again, she’s never going to admit she wanted some. His creed is definitely a life to live by as well. The female chuckles and nods at his declaration of no unofficial interests he harbored though. However, this makes her wonder, is there even an official interest to resist or go by? If there is, both of them are experts at hiding it or they both don’t know it and won’t know it till later. That is if there are any official interests and ot what extent do these interest mean.
She waves her hand in dismissal of his apologies. She, surprisingly, could understand if his face looked dismal compared to hers because he claims to have ran the day with much, much less. Siwon is still as impeccable and handsome as ever though, even in the late hours. But that’s something Noir is never going to truthfully exclaim to the heavens and let him have the chance to hear her and let himself feed his own ego with her words. That’s something that won’t happen in any lifetime so long as she continues living. She laughs fruitfully. Her? Steal wallets? The image of her doing so brings laughter to the very core of her heart, it’s been a while since she’s got a good laugh. The last time she had one was sixteen hours ago, or approximately that. “Me? Steal your wallet?” She parrots her thoughts verbally. “What kind of woman do you think I am, Mr. Choi? I am a woman of virtue, I do not pickpocket and steal. I just simply can’t, my demeanor is not complying to doing that.” She clutches her purse, not really afraid of him pickpocketing because he wouldn’t dare. There’s a difference between a con artist and a pickpocket. A high class and a low class, of course.
“Well I—” She lets out an inaudible yelp as he snatches her by the waist with his iron grip, forcibly whirling her around to face him. Her eyes expresses shock and she could feel her breathing quicken a bit. They are so very close, she notices. If one of them moves more than necessary, they would touch in the most sinful of ways. Looking deeply into his eyes, she listens to him talk before nodding slowly and then clearing her throat, a small smile finding its way onto her face. “I did not mean to beckon you as if you’re nothing but a dog, I fully know you aren’t.” She shuffles a little to leave some space, or try to, inside his iron grip. “But, I do understand. I won’t beckon you with fingers again. Only words—for mon beau.”
She turns away slowly and clears her throat, will he let go of her now? She waits and then looks down at her waist completely in his hold. She’s a thin woman and by the looks of it, he could crush her in one swift move but she’s not worried about that. He wouldn’t have the heart to hurt a woman, at least that’s what she thinks. Looking back at the male, she stares into his eyes again. The fire intensifies but she tries not to be curious. “Can we try this again, Mr. Choi? Would you mind walking me home in the late hours of the night. Just this once, please?” She inquires, her voice gentle and calm. Both of them have to be careful in playing this game. Whatever game this may be.
Noir knows that and she’s sure Siwon knows as well.
He thought Noir understood, that she had absorbed what he was imparting to her, but his arm remained solidly around her waist. It felt good to have her against him. He’s had many people, men and woman alike in all sorts of ways, and it’s never been hard for him to find a partner for the night. He even dated on occasion, when he found someone who was particularly fun to be with. But this, this energy, raw and on edge, like a land mine where if they moved to far it’d be set off, this feels good in a kind of way Siwon had never experienced before. And so he was reluctant to release her.
He ducked his head to the side and as he did so his lips grazed almost imperceptibly against Noir’s cheek. “Let’s try this again, mon cherie. Gladly,” he whispered against her ear. His arm released her finally, but he draped her slender arm through his in only the most gentlemanly of manners. “I’d be happy to walk you home.”
The anger appears to have dissipated. He was totally calm as he walked Noir towards her apartment, no trace of the fire inside of his chest pressing at him and begging him to crush her up against him again, to anger her, provoke her into digging her claws into his skin, to swallow himself in flame. But that’s too close to losing the game. There’s a fine line between seducing her for her beauty and betraying himself. Besides, this game, this is where he gets his real thrill. Seduction would be too... cheap. Far too cheap for a woman like her. Far too easy for a man like him. He can’t let the excitement of the chase destroy the excitement of the game.
He waited until she slowed in front of a building - he didn’t actually know where she lived, after all, before releasing her arm and taking her hand delicately in his own rough palm. Bending low in a bow he pressed his lips to the back of her hand. “Mon cherie... I would be honored to take you to dinner some night soon. Please let me know.” His eyes lifted to hers and there is the fire, the promise that what he says it not what he means, that this game is far from over, that he wants his fire to light the coal stars in Noir’s eyes alight until they burn out.
( Yessss new babies, come here to daddy and plot with me!
Keep Your Enemy Closer
She rolls her eyes at his parrot. Yes, no. No means no but he’s still insistent it seems. Now he’s trying to not let her go out of his sights and it’s amusing. Was he sure that she’s the one with an unofficial interest? With a sigh, she shrugs lightly. It’s not too bad well, maybe for him but she could care less of his thoughts more than anything at this point. “Dommage? Je trouve sécuritaire pour nous deux pour garder la distance.” Though, she does find it funny that he’s the stereotypical high-class. “Ou êtes- vous cachez intérêt unoffical en moi à la place?” The female asks playfully as she stares at his dark eyes. Such fire and she’s interested to get to know it. What makes him tick and what makes him want to spend so much time in the late hours of the night with her?
“Oh?” She chuckles. “I say you are, mon beau.” The nicknames they gave each other was absurd, yes. She was his siren and he was her handsome. It felt fitting actually. The fact that he was chasing after her and they were going around in circles just to hear each other, it was Noir’s favorite game to play. But, she’s never going to say that to him face to face. It’s only for her to know.
He looked exhausted, in all honesty. The fact that he’s wasting his time just trying to walk her home and be a gentleman was pitiful. She clicks her tongue as she shakes her head slowly. “Oh no, don’t assume that I think you’re a douchebag. You’re a gentleman, aren’t you? So why would I even assume that you’re less than one? I find that offensive, Mr. Choi.”
Peace. Lord knows that Noir does not play upon making peace. She plays upon bending the rules to her own advantage. It wasn’t cheating, it was only manipulative strategies that she’s going into the game with. Explosions aren’t her only speciality. The woman has many talents to go off of but making peace isn’t one of them. However, if Siwon were to be adamant about walking her home, she’d entertain it. Turning towards him, she beckons him with her delicate finger. “Perhaps, if I keep saying no you’d keep pestering me. So if you want to let me entertain the notion of taking me home please, let me. As for making peace…” She turns back towards the direction of her home. “I’ll think about it.” Of course, she already knows the answer.
“Safer, yes, but fun? Not at all, and isn’t fun what this life is all about?” He retorted with an amused smile. “Not fun, maybe, but... amusement. Pleasure. Hedonistic tendencies balanced with discipline.” His creed, after all. Do what one needs to do and pleasure will come more easily. “But I am certain, yes, mon cherie. There is no unofficial interest here.” He placed only a slight stress on the word “unofficial” but he knew it was enough to tease, and perhaps stir both Noir’s ire and curiosity.
“As for my appearance, well... All I can do is apologize for appearing in such a dismal state before such a beauty as yourself.” He couldn’t tell himself if he was mocking or not-- because she was, certainly, a beauty, but the sarcasm in apologizing for his almost completely impeccable appearance laced his words with a strong undertone. “Though I can assure you that I’m not going to pass out. I wouldn’t want to inconvenience you with having to deal with a unconscious body on the streets. You might even have to go through the trouble of stealing my wallet.” Siwon’s fingers brushed against Noir’s in the semblance of pretending to reach for her own purse, though he’s a con man, not a pick-pocket.
He shot her a surprised look as they reached the main street. “You don’t? I have to say, mon cherie, I am surprised. I try my hardest to be a gentleman to all those except the men who make it plain that they are not. But I don’t know your sensibilities. I would find it presumptuous to assume most anything about you.” This is the most Siwon has ever talked to Noir, and he finds himself... itching. There’s an energy pushing at his chest and through down to his finger tips like an irritation, but it’s not anger, it’s--
He caught her around the waist and whirled her to him. The finger was too much, the very rudeness of beckoning him like a dog, he can take teasing and vague insults, but being disrespected is never something Siwon has been able to swallow easy, and especially not from a brat like Noir. With his grip iron-strong around her waist he spoke low and solid, his tone unyielding. “I am not a dog. Do not beckon me like a dog.”
He could feel her breath across his lips he had pressed his face so close to her own. “I let you get away with too much as it is the way you speak to me, but I will not tolerate that sort of disrespect from you, do you understand me? Mon cherie?”
Keep Your Enemy Closer
Noir feels a grip on her arm, forcing her to stop. With a forced smile, she’s glad that he gives her some space to get away from his grip but surprisingly, she doesn’t. His hands are so callused and she wonders what he does and why is it so different from his high-class demeanor. Could there be two sides of the coin for him as well? Maybe, but that’s quite a laugh. A high-class working like this, how amusing.
She turns to him and sees him flash a smile though, she doesn’t return it. “Yes.” That smile, Noir wonders if even Siwon can differentiate the whole programmed smile to an original one. She’s often seen him smiling throughout the day when she bumps into him but, never talks to him. Wreaking havoc in a bustling city with a game is not her style at all. The female continues to listen and then chuckles with a shrug before talking when he stops. “Well, of course. Just looking out for a gentleman. Oh…?” She’s amused. He knows fully how capable she can be though. Or is he just using this to win? Either way, she’s not going to give him a chance, she also has her pride. If he wanted to mess around with her, he picked the wrong time. He looks quite exhausted and taking advantage of her to win isn’t fit for the occasion right now. It’s almost sunrise, how pitiful.
Watching his smile fade away, she smirks and then shakes her head, speaking in her dialect of French for him. This is an argument using the art of seduction and he’s a seductive man, so she can infer. A dialect fit for a personality. “Non, mais merci beaucoup, mon beau.” Then she changes to her Korean. “So considerate but I have found a loophole for you. You’re exhausted.” She chuckles. “And it’s almost sunrise. How can a man like you walk me home when it looks like you’re about to pass out any moment?” She takes her arm back and then turns forward to the direction of her home. “Mon beau, you’re so kind in the wee hours of night.”
She begins stepping forward again but not before looking at him with sharp eyes that challenged him to follow her.
Try her and he might as well dig his own grave filled with his losses.
“Non?” He returned with a quiet sigh laced with a playful edge. He’s fluent in French. Hah, of course he is, even Siwon knows he’s too much of a stereotype at times. Korean, French, and he’s still working on his Mandarin and English. “Ah, bien, cela est trop mauvaise.” Mon beau, though, that sunk hooks into his curiosity too deeply to let him allow Noir to escape from his presence quite yet. He paced after her easily enough to continue their conversation.
“Am I, my sweet siren?” He snorted at the absurdity of the nicknames they’ve given each other in the span of only a few minutes, but given how many times he’s wanted to tie him to the metaphorical mast to listen to Noir’s song and had to keep himself from lashing out at her... It felt fitting.
“Perhaps my exhaustion tempers me. Or maybe I’m not quite so much the douche bag you think I am.” He chuckled quietly and tucked his hands into his pockets. “About to pass out, though, I am not, no matter my appearance. I’ve run on much, much less.”
“Noir, can’t we make peace?” As if, as if he could allow a compromise. That’s not how one becomes a successful con man, not at all. Still, it would be nice to save himself from making a true enemy out of his siren. Always better to have Noir on one’s team rather than off it. Her explosives weren’t the most dangerous part of her, he felt.
black comedy;
x siwonxda
a thin, black piece of devil hang by the corner of her red-tinted lips, lit and half-done as she lurked around the rather dark hallways of blood rose. gray wisps of smoke twirled mindlessly in the air before disappearing completely. krystal barely knows the area, after all, she only comes to pay certain visits to the mistress and the majority of it concerns sneaking inside her private office.
blood rose isn’t exactly her type of place to relax either, not when it smelled of heavy perfume and sex everywhere. her job entailed situations like these, where brothels, whether high-class or others disguised as massage parlors, were nothing new. a couple of wealthy, disgusting old men even mistook her for an escort earlier and desperately tried to talk to the manager about taking her out. one ended up with a broken nose.
she fished for her phone at the back pocket of her skinny jeans, lithe fingers gliding through the screen with surprising grace as she walked to the bar counter and ordered a glass of vodka. she typed a message and sent it to an unnamed number; they meant business, mostly from her father’s sources, to be deleted once the deal was over. nothing too important.
[sms; i’ll be at the bar. black top. - krystal jung]
[text] I’m already here. I see you. Let’s see if you can find me. :) Black suit.
[text] hah, joking. i’ll come over. - Choi Siwon
Siwon’s in a devilishly good mood and meeting with a beautiful woman, no matter whether for business or for fun, is something he always looks forward to. “Ms. Jung,” he addressed the woman he’d been scheduled to meet from behind. He cuts a striking figure in the hazy light of the Blood Rose in a black Armani suit -- not one of his better suits, but he’s partial to it for nights he plans to stay out late -- and his hair perfectly styled. He fixed his cuff links with a smirk that’s too amused to be seductive and took a few steps forward to place himself next to the fiery haired woman at the bar.
“Can I get you a drink? Or--” He flicked his fingers lazily at the vodka, “I see you have one. Perhaps something a little more complicated?” He flagged down the bartender and ordered himself a Crown on the rocks. Glancing back to Krystal he inquired as easily as he were asking what brand she was wearing, “So who’s the target?”
Dear Lord.
