You quickly went over to Minghao and whispered to him “What do we do now? Run?”
Minghao sighed. “Just let me handle this, stay here and don’t embarrass yourself.”
So many questions were going through your head ‘Is he gonna take on all those guys on his own??’ ‘Is he really that strong?’ ‘How is he even this calm??”
You thought about running away while you still could but honestly you thought you had more chance to survive waiting for Minghao to solve it all
“Guys guys, I told you I’d take care of this. They won’t get up our business ever again.”
“Wohoo Ming is getting possessive. Chill dude, we just wanted to see which simple soul was stupid enough to get into this situation.”
They then proceeded to look over to you
“It’s a girl??” “Wait isn’t that Y/n from a few blocks over?” “Well fuck I think it is!”
Oh, oh god
you felt so stupid, that was his gang, not the Black Jets
He must’ve been just annoyed they saw you two together...
“Yeah that’s Y/n alright, she’s just into art. We won’t hear from them again in the future.”
“Wait one second... what’s she wearing? Oh my god Minghao you trying to get into her pants?” This question was quickly followed with laughter from the whole group
“Lemme look at her from a little closer though, I wouldn’t mind smashing that.” another gang member said.
“Can we just go and consider this finished? The wall and street is our territory again and she won’t get involved again. Let’s go.”
It was clear Minghao’s last words were an order. The last offer he’d give them before snapping
So that was it, Minghao and his friends left, you just sat down for a second to comprehend everything that happened in the past hour
After all this, why did you still feel like you wanted to discover more of him?
But time went by, new drawings appeared on the wall, everything was just like nothing changed
You did think of Minghao once in a while but you thought it was pretty clear he wanted nothing to do with you
That was until well, you started taking a new way to get home from work
Normally you’d walk by a big open street but they were renovating the sidewalk
You couldn’t complain you’ve almost sprained your ankle twice thanks to that sidewalk
So yeah, you just had to take another road
You did recognise the graffiti tag on the walls, this was Black Jet territory.
But then again, they never saw you and if you took another way around you’d take like 15 minutes longer to get home
Okay you might get whistled at once in a while... maybe you felt super unsafe as well...
One day after a late work party you recognised a Fire Horn member who had laughed at you that one night. He seemed to recognise you as well. “Woh woh Y/n I didn’t think so. You may not be a Fire Horn but you came up for our group so we’re cool. But let me give you some good advise, don’t ever go through here again. The Black Jets will eat you alive if they know who you are.”
So you were scared enough to try take the 15 minute longer route because you weren’t gonna arrange your own funeral. You did wonder, how were you know in the gangs? Were you an unofficial Fire Horn member?
To your relief the place was beautiful, more greens, less buildings, some nice old ladies that always greeted you on the way home
There was a cute middle school in the street and about when after school activities ended you had to make your way through the street
One day though a reckless kid rode into you with his bike, the child was okay though he could put his feet down fast enough not to lose balance
And well you were laying on the ground with chafed knees and hands
Luckily this sweet middle aged woman offered to get you some band aids and disinfect the wounds
She let you into her house and said you could wait on the sofa while she searched for her first-aid kit
While you were awkwardly waiting in the woman’s living room you heard someone come down the stairs
It was a surprisingly familiar face
“Woh woh what the fuck, Y/n? How the fuck did you even get in here?”
Yes indeed, this was Minghao’s home, apparently it was his mom that helped you
“Wait one second I didn’t even know this was your house! Your mom let me in because of this.”
You pointed to your knees and showed the palms of your hands afterwards
He came down further from the stairs and came to sit next to you and took your hands to examine them
“What did you do now though?”
Your got this nice feeling in your stomach thanks to the sudden touch but still answered normally “Some crazy kid drove into me with his bike, so I fell. Nothing serious though.”
His mom had returned with the first-aid kit, Minghao quickly gave you your hands back
“Oh was I interrupting something?”
He quickly got up to the kitchen “Nope. I’ll be getting some snacks, like a good host.”
You were just shocked how much more vulnerable he was in his own house
“So, do you guys know each other maybe?”
She quietly started disinfecting your hands and knees
“Uh yeah we met through this art thing.” You didn’t know how much his mom knew about his gang life because she seemed like a pretty nice lady that’s not really involved in all of that
“Now you say it, I you really remind me of this drawing he made not long ago! Oh gosh I don’t think I should’ve said that if you know each other.” She said with a smile
Okay no you were sure she didn’t know anything about his gang life
“You know actually my son used to have a jacket just like the one you’re wearing now.”
Oh yeah
The jacket...
Actually because that jacket was warmer than all jackets you owned, you kept wearing it
Then Minghao came back into the living room with some little snacks that definitely took way less time to prepare because he didn’t want to get back in here
“Ming, look didn’t you have a jacket just like this one?”
You never thought you’d live to see this
But Minghao, the gang member who beat up countless people, that’s in a gang and does illegal stuff before breakfast
That Minghao, was blushing, red ears and all
“Uhm that is the jacket...”
And apparently Mr. though guy also can’t lie to his mom (at least when it’s not about gang stuff)
“Oh my god is that why you keep sneaking out at night? Is she your girlfriend?”
“Mom don’t, we’ll talk about this later. I just gave her the jacket because I don’t wear it anymore and she was cold.”
“I knew I raised a gentleman! But sure, I’ll stop embarrassing you. Y/n your knees and hands should be alright now, do you maybe want to stay for dinner?”
“No she doesn’t mom.” he quickly turned around to face you “Y/n let’s talk. Privately. My room.”
“Leave the door open sweety.”
Minghao made this horrible sound out of embarrassment, you really couldn’t help but laugh
“Oh god who would’ve thought a gang member would be such a mommy’s boy. I’m sorry but I’m enjoying this too much.”
“Please just shut it for one second my world is kind of collapsing. You, why do you have to keep meddling with my life? First you slip your phone number into my jacket after that night. Then you started messing with the Black Jet graffiti and now you’re in my house?”
“Hey I learned my lesson but me being in your house was not on purpose. But why exactly is your world collapsing?”
You made yourself comfortable and sat down on his bed
You did wonder if that was lowkey inappropriate because you weren’t exactly close friends
“Just, I don’t want my gang life and family life getting mixed up with each other. Not even one of my gang members knows where I live.”
He sat down next to you now hands in his hair, clearly contemplating his life
“Well I’m smart enough to stay out of gang business unlike someone here. Normally I’d have to walk through the Black Jets neighbourhood but I made a detour to this neighbourhood. That’s why I’m here every day. I even made friends with some old ladies down the street.”
“Please don’t tell me you’ve met my grandma as well?”
“Oh my god I always thought Mrs. Xu did look like you.”
“Well I guess I can’t blame you for this all, it’s all my fault for being so reckless. You were smart enough to stay away from the Black Jets at least...”
“Actually now you say it, one of your friends warned me. He said if they realised who I was, they would beat me up. What’s that all about?”
“About that, well, I kind of made the mistake of spray painting your face on a wall to claim you. We hear the Black Jets saw you paint the wall red again, they were planning on abusing or even killing you. My actions did have consequences but you’re well and alive and that’s what I was aiming for.”
You didn’t believe your ears.
“So basically, I’m a member of your gang?”
“No not quite, more of a trophy? Wow that sounded way worse than I meant.”
“Nono I get it. Thanks though for the protection, what other consequences does this have though?”
“Uhm you cannot enter Black jet territory, in the gang world we’re practically dating and my gang will give you protection. And we need nothing in return it’s just if you are on Black Jet territory you’re a huge target, if you’re not they basically can’t do anything.”
“Hang on we’re dating?”
“Well, no but nobody can make a move on you. If they do they’ll get beat up by my people...”
Weird to think this was the real world and not kinder garden, then again the guy next to you probably witnessed some killings and torturing, hell he might’ve killed someone. You do hope nobody on your work starts flirting with you now though.
You felt kind of stupid that all of this is restraining your life. But then again it has been for who knows how long and you hadn’t even noticed.
“Can I ask something though? Why didn’t you like inform me about this?”
“I believed that you’d stay out of Jet grounds after my talk so I didn’t worry too much.”
“But what if I started dating someone?”
He sighed for a second
“I just hoped it wouldn’t happen okay?”
Minghao looked down from embarrassment until you laid your hand on his thigh
When he lifted up his head you both instantly locked eyes, you felt there was some kind of sexual tention
You then looked down at his lips, you saw him doing the same
Before you knew it, you were both leaning in
Minghao cupped your face with one hand, he took initiative and kissed you
The kiss was long but sweet, your lips were tingling of sensation
“Dinner’s ready!- Oh. Oh sorry leaving.”
Way to ruin the mood... and your first impression with his dad
“You staying over for dinner then I guess?”
