“Do I want to know what just happened?” - Chati
‘ don't worry about it . ‘ he says softly , cooing a startled feline . the club was loud , but inside the vip lounge , they don't hear much of the music apart from the beat of it and the muffled rhythm . chati was appointed for jake , but just before he could enter the room , he was brought here to baek . a tall man , sitting with arms either sides of the sofa , smiling like he knows something . the boy has changed , naturally , considering they met years ago when baek was a little boy , right before he lost his left kidney , and his eye . seeing his name on the list of the guests had made him pause ─ baek remembers it because he was the only chati he knew , never heard a name like that again after him . after chati sits in front of him , he silently nods at his men to leave the room . the music briefly pouring inside the room before lowering again . baek leans in , his pours chati a glass of whiskey and holds it out to him with a friendly nod of his head . ‘ don't you remember me ? ‘ his blue eye is tricky , then again , even if both his eyes were brown , he doubts he'd be remembered . his mismatched eyes roam over the other's form ; a victim of abuse and violence will usually fall in places like these , either powerful like baek or weak like chati . a familiar pattern , who can deny it ? nobody expected them to be doctors and lawyers after surviving a childhood like that .
