Fire and Ice // Gyuri&Jiwon
It wasn’t often that Gyuri ventured very far from the cold stone walls of the Yongsan condo. Unless the Haedogje pa leader had serious business elsewhere, she mostly stayed put, instead choosing to feed, live and work at their headquarters. To some, she may have appeared like a queen in her castle, but as far as Gyuri was concerned, she was more like a dragon protecting her hoard. This way, she knew who and what was coming in and out of the building, and this way she was primed and ready if anything were to go wrong. But this – this was serious business, and something Gyuri felt was best dealt with personally.
Although she had had eyes on her for a while, Gyuri hadn’t had the fortune of being able to go and greet her former underling in person – no, that had been a course of action that she had been heavily advised against, and after discussion Gyuri had begrudgingly agreed despite everything in her nature telling her to take matters in to her own hands. But that was only going to last for so long. When a fresh tip had been brought to her, pinning her former communicator to a near by dive bar, well – how was Gyuri supposed to pass that up?
Truthfully, it had only been at the behest of her most trusted adviser that Gyuri hadn’t ripped Jiwon’s head off her shoulders the day she even suspected that the girl had done anything that was detrimental to Haedogje pa’s integrity. There had never been any proof (no, Gyuri was certain that that information had died along with the informant who had tipped her off in the first place, the secret now safely kept with their decrepit corpse) but that didn’t mean that Gyuri hadn’t had her own suspicions. There had always been something off about that girl.
Every new member that joined Haedogje pa was clear on the rules – if you were with the gang, you were with the gang, and any action that suggested otherwise was dealt with to the most severe degree. Every member knew how Gyuri worked, and they knew the consequences if they were to ever step a toe out of line – but as far as Gyuri was concerned, Jiwon hadn’t only toed the line; she had disregarded it completely. Even if she did not betray the gang, as so many whispers had said, she still left without word or warning, and not only that; from what Gyuri had been told, she was now not only in another gang, but she ran it, and that made Gyuri’s cold, black blood boil.
It doesn’t take her long to spot Jiwon, tucked away in one of the velveteen booths at the back of the bar, and Gyuri wastes no time in taking long, purposeful strides over to O-Jeom’s newest leader. Without asking or announcing herself, Gyuri slid in to the plush seat facing Jiwon, crossing her arms across her chest as she settled in to the booth.
“Long time, no see, Ophelia.”
