“Doctor and slutty nurse?” She wrinkles her nose,·“Too cliche.” She hums, still scrolling,·“What about Morticia and Gomez Addams?” She looks over at Danny with a gleeful smile. She’s hopeful that he will agree with her choice but she continues to scroll anyways, her gut telling her that, that option would be denied.

“You know, you’d make a hot joker… or even a Bruce Wayne.” She tilts her head to the side, an idea forming, their costumes coming together. The blonde grins, an evil glint to her eyes.

[vmxjinyoung]

He remained still, one eyebrow raised and a shit ton of regret suddenly overflowing his logic.

It’s almost endearing that she compliments him, but he can’t say thank you. Perhaps because he simply doesn’t think that he has the possibility to be attractive, at all. Danny looks down at his knees, finding an excuse to remain silent through her excitement. 

But he does look up slightly when she brings up the first option, almost pointing out that he’d drop out immediately. But of course, she’s looking at the internet for clues. He couldn’t expect anything that good to come out from her searches.

Except for the Bruce Wayne part.

“ I don’t have a suit, ” He tried to sound unenthused, but quite honestly he’d look pretty sick as Bruce Wayne. A pin-striped suit and a big red tie, gelling his hair back, and sweet shoes. That is, if he had the money to invest in them. Which, technically, he did. Just not for this situation or for any personal gain whatsoever. “ — or shoes, or a red tie. If anything, I’d have to go sho - ”

He hesitated, making eye contact with Himchan and smirking slightly. 

“ - shopping. ”

Yoona wasn’t surprised that he was wary of her presence, she would be too if she was in his position. However she was quite annoyed with the way he talked at the guys like she was not there. There were many things she disliked, but being ignored was on the top of that list.

However she wouldn’t break character so easily, crossing her arms over her chest when he finally spoke to her, a bland expression on her face as she looked at him like he was not there or at least nothing more than a little fly on her way. She was very good on those looks; Yoona always judged herself to be better than others anyway.

“Look” she even copied his tone, slightly turning to him. “If you do that those guys would have to shoot on your back, and I don’t think you’d want that.” Not that they would do that, but it was a possibility. “Plus, you’re too cute do die. If I were younger I’d even consider flirting with you, but I don’t have time to teach little boys.” She smiled, earning a chuckle from her fellow wolves.

She was delaying the answer to his question purposely, not because she didn’t want to answer, but because that kid disrespected someone older, he had to be taught manners. Chemistry genius or not, no one treated Yoona like that, she was a lady, had to be treated like one.

“My name is Im Yoona, I’m with them, don’t worry, I’m not going to ruin your transaction.” She finally answered, her tone now serious. “I’ll be honest with you, I was sent here to get something else from you, a better formula than this one you’re giving us.”

She gave him one long look, giving him time to process the informations she gave him, lips curved on a sweet smile, arms still crossed over her chest. “So, are you leaving or can we discuss further business partnerships?”

[vmxjinyoung]

Obviously, she didn’t like what he just did. 

There was the look, that glare that women like her all seemed to have. This pristine look of authority, it was strangely intimidating in some ways. Even suggesting that he’d be one of her targets, if she were just a little younger - as if she were that much older than him. Danny grimaced very slightly, perhaps silently and to himself especially to the reaction of the men behind her.

Who was the one that spent twenty-nine hours straight on getting the deed done? This kid, standing in front of some woman that thought that age would have to do with her authority. He crossed his arms, after all it was partially his fault for looking so young. A baseball cap, disheveled hair, simple dress, and old converses probably kept his youth rather eternal in comparison to her facade of maturity.

It wasn’t until after the sarcasm and the slowly falling bits of respect that Danny had for her, that she finally introduced herself. A proposition followed soon after, of course, why didn’t he expect that?

He took a step diagonally, to stand somewhat beside her, so that he’d have a full view of the transaction. Should he be able to process what she had just said, he was unsure of her actual line of authority. Her occupation, her possibility of lying on the spot, taking advantage of his lack of showcasing amongst the rest of the underground life. He lived secluded and alone, for the sake of protecting himself and his loyalty. He didn’t know how to play her game, he simply had no idea.

“ A better formula? You think I can just whip this all up, no problem? ” He scoffed, perhaps looking more like a child as he felt like he should put on a tantrum. “ Fine, I get it. I’m a kid, you’re an ahjumma, and that has everything to do listening to what you have to say. ”

Granted, the last sentence was mostly mumbled. If she could hear it, she could simply hear it. If not, then she lucked out. It pissed him off, rather, how much people took advantage of his work. Teaching himself chemistry and molding science with biology, just for the sake of keeping himself alive around the products. Hell, he could probably die from all the toxins that he’s been taking in. The gloves and mask dry his skin out, he barely gets fresh air thanks to his sealed basement, and he can’t keep a pet of any kind. 

Turning to her, he kept his arms crossed and sighed. 

“ You got anything to tell me that you’re actually one of them? ” He nodded towards the men, who were only halfway finished. “ I’d hate to spend my good and lonesome youth on a scammer in heels. ”

Noona

She quickly brings the cup of hot chocolate to her lips, attempting to hide the soft blush adorning her cheeks. She’s amazed by how natural Danny makes it, how normal he addresses her as a her.·She expects some hesitation, some resistance but the man never gives her that. She smiles before blowing once more on the steaming beverage, her lips touching the rim of the glass as she takes a small sip.

“Yah, we’re the same age, what’s the matter with you.” Her cheeks are still warm as she speaks, there’s no malice behind her words, her voice gentle and soft. She likes it.·

She stares at Danny as she listens to him complain, an amused smile on her face. There is so much to ask about, so much to tease but she files it for later, deciding to simply give a few remarks.·“Big ears are cute Danny, you can be my little dumbo, but only to me, nobody else.” She points to her hot chocolate, an eyebrow raising in question, wanting to know if he’d like a sip.·

“Also, you’ll end up having a cigarette with me in about thirty minutes, so you can toss that feeling out the window, and we will speak more about this girl on a later date, don’t think I will forget.” She pushes the mug towards the male, wanting him to try some of her sugary treat.·“You should come spend the night with me then, I promise to tire you out, so you fall asleep easier.” A small giggle passes her lips as she teases the other, glee written all across her face.·

She blanches when she hears about the non existing Halloween plans.·“No, you’re coming with me, we’ll dress up and go to the clubs, it will be so much fun.” She pouts and whines, reaching across the table to hold on to his arm, giving it a small squeeze.·

“We can dress up, couple costume, so then you won’t get hit on and I won’t get hit on, it’s perfect.” She leans in closer, her eyes widening slightly and her pout becoming more exaggereted. She could be cute when she wanted to be but she had a feeling this would just annoy her friend more than anything else. Hopefully it would be annoying enough to give in to her demands.·

She always gets what she wants.

“Oppa, please.” She retaliates back for his earlier statement, planning on winning him over no matter what. She wanted, no needed to have a good time and Himchan wanted to spend time with Danny, she wanted to be herself.·

[vmxjinyoung]

“ What, ” Danny shrugged. “ — you act more like a noona than my actual older sister. I think it’s an honorary title. ”  

With a wink to go with his sarcastic remark, he began to play with his ears. Another bad habit, of course. “ Dumbo? Yah, of all things you call me dumbo? ” He listened to her with a neutral visage, nodding arbitrarily while reaching for the mug and blowing softly at the steam. The male couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her comment about tiring him out. Seeing her smile was slightly relieving, a bit of warmth going through to him much like the hot beverage that soothed his throat, running through him in contrast to the autumn chill. 

He remains leaning forward, licking his lower lip as he pushes the mug back towards her. He turned the mug towards the other side, making sure that she doesn’t drink from where he had done so. Another touch, warmth and comfort in a single action. Danny puts his elbow on the table and his chin on his palm, snorting at Himchan’s trying ability to persuade.

“ Clubs? I barely look of age and a costume is only going to make it worse. 

For a moment, Danny simply looked at her and contemplated. Halloween had always been a dark night for him, but of course, he brought it upon himself. One night, just one night. He had enough to live, obviously. Something about walking with Himchan in a costume seemed, fun. Like he could have felt as a kid, walking around town in a twelve dollar costume.

“ Fine. ” He leaned back again, sighing. She deserved her fun, and if he was to be a part of it then perhaps Danny had no choice but to participate. “ But I’m not going to be anything ridiculous, a side-kick maybe. I’m sure you’ll go all out but the most I’ll do is take off my hat. ”

He smirked, obviously taking sarcasm to content once more.

Thank you, what he wished he could say. Two words that he hadn’t said yet with sincerity, here came the time, but he’d let it wait. She smiled in a way that seemed like enough to him.

Warmth, sincerity, and comfort.

[necroxseline]

No– No? Then why did he approach her?

Soobin surely had better things to do than sitting there with a man that was apparently useless to her purpose. However, she shouldn’t underestimate those she meet, especially the ones that approach her so out of nowhere like him– taking a thought back to where she entered the place, why did he got so nervous by her presence? Perhaps she should hangout around him a bit more– the place was sort of dead anyway “Should I get you something to drink, then?”

There was something very odd about this encounter– not sure yet if it was good or bad, but why did she felt so naked before him? The male was only staring to her eyes, but his gaze was so strong that she even smirked tad bit unconsciously. No one has stared into her eyes like that before– just one person, but it felt so different at the same time. The more she looked at him, the more she could take notice his features; admittance didn’t made her less woman and she had to admit he was somehow handsome– very. Was she really looking to another man that was not Changjo like that? What the hell? –Well, he is not her boyfriend after all.

Albeit, shrugging it off, she blinked a couple of times and cleared her throat before tilting her head at his question “How am I doing?”

It was indeed strange to ask that so suddenly, especially when they were not even close to each other, why would he care for something like it? Though, she simply scoffed a little laughter and nodded as she poured him a glass of whiskey– not aware that he was a soft drinker.

“Busy place?” She looked around and laughed at the obvious “Not really. Now, pressure? Yeah, more than enough.” He had no idea– “How about you? Came to chill out the stress of the day?”

[vmxjinyoung]

A smirk brought Danny to think of the possibilities.

He surely had better things to do than to talk to someone who had other intentions, the crook of his neck ached severely from staying up so late last night. And yet, he remained looking up at her. Straight eye contact keeping him from setting foot on the other side of the door.

Danny the cup to his lips regardless of his dislike for alcohol. Whiskey had never quite been something he liked, after all, there was the clear memory of the scent from when he was young. A cliche past, perhaps, remembering this scent from his father’s shoulder and his mother’s breath. Of course, there wasn’t much he could hide other than the fact that he was a childhood deprived young drug dealer that had been living on two hours of sleep. Quite frankly, two hours was incredibly sparing with the workload he had last night. 

“ Mm. ” He set the glass down while nodding, a fair response. Her words were smooth, though he was left to fight down the rough whisky that singed his throat. At her question, Danny simply shrugged and smirked softly. “ You could say that, I have nothing to do tonight. Figured I could sit down, relax, have a nice conversation. ” 

Eye contact.

Danny hadn’t felt this, confident, in a while. After all, he only went out every so often for the sake of getting his goods out. To talk with a pretty girl, sip a nightmare of whisky, while sitting behind a bar was out of his character. He was only twenty-two, looking younger than he is, and he’s acting as though he has the charisma of a man that’s had thirty-two years in such a dark business. 

He gave her a small smile.

She sits patiently, waiting for Danny to come back with her hot chocolate. She drinks more than she eats, smokes more than she drinks. Nowadays it feels like the only two substances keeping her going are red wine and coffee. 

She turns her head towards the line, staring intently at the man with anxiety written all over her face. She worries her bottom lip between her teeth, her heart sinking deeper into her gut as concern for him continues to grow. It was stupid really, someone she barely knew, someone she had little trust in had her mind so preoccupied. Ah, she frowns, mentally chastising herself for being too caring. She shouldn’t meddle into his business. 

You need to stop Himchan, don’t cause yourself more pain.

She is startled out of her thoughts when a cup is placed in front of her, the frown quickly turning into a bright smile at the sight of the melting marshmallows. She leans in and blows on the top of the beverage lightly, watching as the steam floats towards Danny. 

“Thank you for buying me a hot chocolate, you really know how to treat a lady.” The sentence had a sarcastic undertone to it, Himchan trying to ease the awkwardness that was beginning to form between them. She knew it would be appreciated. 

She grabs a stirring stick and starts poking the gooey top layer, not really caring if she looks like a small child, playing with her food. She may not have been paying attention to the other but she could feel his eyes,“Why are you looking at me like that?” She looks up as she puts the end of the stick in her mouth, licking away the melted marshmallow, humming in delight at the sugary taste. 

Her eyes narrow suspiciously at Danny, paranoia settling in underneath her skin as she wonders why he’s so quiet. “Tell me what’s on your mind, this one won’t cost you anything.” She gave a wink as she stirred her drink, starting to grow agitated waiting for it to cool down.  

“Also, what are your plans for Halloween?” 

[vmxjinyoung]

Watching her act as such, almost appealing with the stirring stick in her mouth, playing with the thin layer of sugar afloat. Danny snorted softly at her question, he looked down at his hands and leaned forward to put his elbows on the table. Though, the table was quite far, causing him to sit on the edge of his chair and look even more like a child. His face was resting between both of his hands, pushing his cheeks up slightly in discomfort.

“ I’m just looking at you, what does your insurance not cover that? ” Danny smiled cheekily, raising his eyebrows to emphasize his sarcasm. He then shrugged after yawning, her next question being a rather broad one. “ There’s a lot on my mind, noona. ”

“ My ears are a little big, ” He removed his hands from the position and simply let his arms rest on the table. “ — I haven’t had a cigarette in a while and I don’t want one, good thing. There’s this, girl. I haven’t been sleeping well. Just came to the conclusion that I don’t like carrots that much, and — ”

He rose his eyebrows for the last question. “ I’m not going anywhere on Halloween, Himchan. I mean it, it’s the worst night for guys like me. ”

Danny wasn’t sure how to really put it to her, after all, she didn’t know that he was making over fifty kilograms of methamphetamine for the next few nights. Nor does she know that Halloween was literally the best night for him to be framed, specifically by those who know what he does and have been turned down due to their lack of payment. He was on hit lists, there was no way that he wouldn’t be on someone’s hit list. Hence, the three alias’ and the extreme privacy and deceiving boyish aura he carries (though admittedly, that was purely genetic luck).

“ I’m not going out, not my holiday and its my only night off. ”

A true statement, but only because the three weeks before Halloween were so busy that the actual holiday became his vacation day.

“Obviously, we’re friends aren’t we? Hot little thing like you should be getting laid. I know some girls that would be all over you in a second if they saw you. Need me to set you up?” Of course Seunghyun would prefer to help the other unwind himself, but that could cause issues. One day he’d get in Danny’s pants. One day.

“I’ve got a present for you.” Seunghyun had no idea what Danny’s job was like, it was always hard to tell, he only knew Danny was a drug cook for the Cottonmouths. Danny was very private and Seunghyun respected that. He didn’t delve or prod into his life, though he could if he really wanted to.

Still, the pressures of that industry could get bad for anybody. “I don’t know if you need this or not but I got this off some Wolf that decided to come sell near the building. Needless to say he won’t be selling anywhere for a while, but maybe this’ll help you out.” He took a small bag of powder out of one of the desk drawers and dropped it in front of the other. From what he heard the stuff was decent. Seunghyun didn’t do drugs himself, otherwise he would’ve checked for his friend. He preferred having is brain stay intact though.

“If anybody gives you trouble you give me a call, you hear? You’re a friend. I help my friends.” He was dead serious when he said that, because he truly meant it. Never mind that Danny looked like he just shit himself every time he walked into Seunghyun’s office, the guy did a lot for Seunghyun, he could only repay the favor if he asked him to, since he was so damn secretive. “You don’t need to divulge details, just let me know if there’s a person bothering you and I’ll take care of them. No questions asked.”

[vmxjinyoung]

Audacity, this hyung had plenty of it. 

Danny smiling small in disbelief, whilst shaking his head and leaning back into the chair, as if the proposed favor was a simple one. He clutched the folder with a hardened grip, after all, he knew that meeting someone off-sides wouldn’t help him much. 

“ I’m good. ” He made brief eye contact. “ Than — ”

A present? Danny looked up again, feeling smaller than the other immediately. Like a little boy with a big job to do, bruises that sunk into his knuckles and wrists coming from those that needed what they couldn’t afford. Scars embedded in his nerves and mind, to those that he’s seen in obituaries when they simply needed the reliance of what Seunghyun tossed to the other side of his desk.

A sullen hand of his reached out to grab the substance, Methamphetamine. He forgot how it felt to be confident, strong, like Seunghyun hyung. To have audacity, and to be insistent. Although, he couldn’t quite admit that he’d strive to be the man in front of him. Danny had few wishes in life, and as he set the small bag back on the desk, he looked at the other with a morose gaze.

He remained still, tired and out of energy. “ What do you do, hyung? ”

A serious question, after all, Danny heard Seunghyun’s name fairly often enough when he goes out to meet with customers. How they didn’t want him to do his job when they were through, meaning they wouldn’t have the chance to breathe more of the smog and sickly city air. Danny just wasn’t sure if he was sitting in front of a killer, or an unsympathetic cleaning service. 

“ And why me, of all people? ”

[avtseokjin]

[avtseokjin]

She glared. 

Himchan didn’t let people off the hook easily. She had too much pride to be kept waiting all alone, feeling embarrassed when people walked by and stared at her table. Patience wasn’t her strong suit either, not keen on wasting any of her precious time. She tapped her fingers onto the table, staring at the man, her eyebrows raised expectantly “Well? Are you going to explain yourself?” 

As she waited for an answer, she couldn’t help but notice something was amiss. Eyes narrowing, she leaned in closer, inspecting the man’s face. Stubble was growing in, more noticeable above the upper lip than his jaw line but her eyes zeroed in on the split lip. A frown etched onto her pretty features when she noticed it, a small amount of guilt creeping up the back of her throat. “Yah, Danny, what the hell happened?” Instinctively, her hand reached out and gently caressed his face, concern evident in her eyes. She may not have trusted him just yet, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t care. 

“What have you gotten yourself into?” Her frown deepened as she pulled down his shirt, just enough to take a closer look at his collarbone. “You may have gotten your ass handed to you but it’s still no excuse for being late.” Himchan sighed as she pulled her hand away, gently fixing his shirt. “Besides you shouldn’t keep someone as pretty as me waiting, it’s extremely rude.” 

She gave a small smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief. She loved to tease the other, always craving a witty banter to keep her satisfied, not that she minded deep and open conversations, if that’s what Danny needed, then that’s what she’d give him but she knew they weren’t friends for the emotions, the late night phone calls, the constant coddling, they were friends for the pure enjoyment of each other’s company. That, and for the sake of Himchan’s secret.

“But I do like that you’ve become scruffier, better be careful Danny, I might just start finding you attractive.” She grinned cheekily as she pushed her empty cup of coffee towards the man, “I want a hot chocolate this time, and make sure they give me extra tiny marshmallows, I want it sweet.”

[vmxjinyoung]

She glared.

Danny knew very well that she probably wasn’t that pleased, after all, she didn’t know that he was always fashionably late with casual meetings. But with Himchan, he assumed it wasn’t all that casual at all. Upon seeing the eyebrow raise and hearing her tone of voice, it was as though his own mother caught him in another act.

“ Look, I said I was sorry. I don’t have that much of a clean cut job and I ended up getting in a brawl. He caught my upper lip and put a knee to my ne — ”

A hand to his face, a look of pure concern, and some strangely warm feeling in his chest.

It wasn’t as though this relationship made much sense. They met without notice, in a museum, amongst a few secrets, and undeniably by chance. Where Jinyoung thought he could sit and dream, stare at something that was tasteful art, but of course he had to hide as Danny again. After realizing he headed into a realm of personal pronouns and relationships, he knew that Himchan was simply doing something to stay safe. 

After all, Danny could relate.

But he looked at her almost in awe, the soft touch on sensitive skin in an act of care and — sincerity. Danny hadn’t met someone legitimate enough to simply reach out and ask what he’s gotten himself into.  But that was pushed aside, immediately. He looked down at her hand, and then back at her. 

“ I — ” He rose an eyebrow before smiling at her next comment. “ — yeah, okay. ”

He shook his head as he stood in line, a hand grazing against his chin, and the empty cup in the other hand. Was this legit? Was he really buying hot chocolate with mini marshmallows just for the sake of having a conversation? Upon setting his order and bringing back a very warm cup and emptying what was left of his wallet, he was quite obviously walking back to Himchan with some expectations ahead of him.

Danny set the cup in front of her, sat down in front of her, and looked at her. 

Expecting.

She just had to sit there and look pretty until some drunk jerk was mesmerized and trapped by her beauty– Soobin was not an overconfident woman, but something told her that a few bats of lashes and soft touches could have them speaking. Silly– despite being very sly and intelligent, Soobin could be naive sometimes as well, but time would teach her.

Dragged back from her thoughts by the gentle voice, she blinked a few times and shook her head softly “Uh? Oh– yes.”  she said and smiled as naturally as possible. Shit! She dragged attention faster than she thought; sighing a little she smiled a bit more brighter now, happening to notice the male’s clothes just now, which made her tilt her head– he definitely looked out of place and something kicked at the back of her head.

“Is this your first time here– as a client I mean?” not the right thing, however.

[vmxjinyoung]

“Uh? Oh– yes.”

Danny nodded slowly, looking back down at his hands for some excuse. It was inevitable that he had to get her on his side, somehow. Whatever that meant, after all he only began to question himself with the fact that he may go to any cost for the sake of his privacy. He’d never been one to enjoy the accompaniment of someone he doesn’t truly - understand. Being an escort, it never appealed to him.

He looked up at her, a little smile turning into a snort and a little laugh. “ No, no. Just here for a drink. ” Danny kept his expression, his eyes smiling and making eye contact with her. He had to admit, she was easy on the eyes. More than that, there was no point in avoiding the truth in that she was sincerely attractive. After all, he was staring at her. 

“ So, ” Danny leaned back on the stool slightly while sighing. “ — how’re you doing? ”

A simple question, fairly strange to bring that up so suddenly but there was no doubt that she could be  a little nervous. He shrugged, leaning on the counter again and appearing nonchalant, undoubtedly a little bored. 

“ New job, busy place, enough pressure? ”

[vmxjinyoung]

[yfxchungha-deactivated20160827]

That only meant she would have to change her strategy a little bit.

Yoona walked slowly towards him, who knew how his personality was like, a friendly and somewhat shy smile on her lips. “Bubblegum?” She asked once she stopped by his side, reaching to her pocket and finding a pack of gum. Strawberry, her favorite. “Those guys can take some time loading the truck, so we might as well distract ourselves, right?” There was no flirting in her words, just some sort of sympathy, small talk you would have with a stranger while waiting for the train, or for your drug shipment to be ready to go, daily situations.

[vmxjinyoung]

He eyed her every move.

What else was he supposed to do? Assume that all was good, no tricks, no devil’s advocate, after all there was a last time. Expensive, classy, distinctly overconfident. Danny didn’t like the way that she looked at him, like a victim. After all, who was the one that was giving a supply? Granted, he’s not cheap, but he’s certainly not as well paid as this woman that began walking towards him.

He looked down at the pink pack that she offered him. He didn’t move his head when he looked up at her with an eyebrow raised. Danny leaned to the side and caught eye contact with the other guys, pointing at her and giving them an obvious look of displeasured lack of knowledge. 

“ Who’s she? ” He stood straight and furrowed his eyebrows, forgetting about her offer. “ And what is she doing here? ”

Danny was not happy.

He felt like a child being taunted by an older figure, she couldn’t be that much older than him. But regarding his situation that was supposed to be discreet, he was conflicted. This either meant that he’d have to take this to the head honcho and cancel the deal completely, or that he’d have to ride with the wind and pray to God for a bullseye. He continued to look at her, unpleasantly so. She looked - way too good for this kind of venue, this kind of run down deal, or this general atmosphere of occupation.

It was her high-heeled boots verses his all black Converses, her sultry skirt versus his ripped and unwashed jeans and hoodie, and her every hair that was perfectly placed versus his own that was hidden under a cap. And Danny looked fitting for the job, either she was here for a peek or he was being scammed and he didn’t like either of his choices. He wanted a profit, and she seemed to be in the way.

“ Look, ” Surely, she understood that he would be facing a lifetime of prison if she were a cop or some kind of official. “ - if you don’t explain why you’re here or who you are, I’m out and I’m taking all my goods with me. ”

Another day, another pile of jobs dropped on top of his workload. Seunghyun was most definitely a workaholic, a very efficient one at that. However there were times when Seunghyun couldn’t even keep on top of all of it himself and needed to call in help, that’s where Danny came in. 

“Enter at will.” 

Seunghyun wasn’t sure why Danny still knocked. There weren’t many people Seunghyun trusted the way he trusted Danny, he should know that by now. Was it respect? Perhaps, though he can’t imagine why Danny would respect him. 

“I’ve got a girl I need you to do some digging on. Her name’s Im Yoona, heard of her? She’s a silver spoon girl, high society, well-known family. If you’ve got the time it’d be helpful.”

When he got the chance, Seunghyun gestured to the chair in front of his desk, motioning for him to sit. “That’s not as pressing as this job I have for you.” He held up a thick envelope before plopping it in front of the other. It was full of pictures and past files on quotas and contracts with a rather large business the Cottonmouth’s had gotten their hands on. The place had always caused trouble for them but had gone quiet recently out of nowhere.

“Keep an eye on these guys and report anything suspicious to me. They usually cause a ruckus with us but they’ve been obedient lately. It’s not right.”

Seunghyun eyed the other, watching him a moment after he finished explaining the task. “You’re looking good. D’you get laid recently?”

[vmxjinyoung]

He hesitated, allowing himself to gather his breath and then open the door.

Cluttered desk, rolled sleeves, slightly disheveled hair that was somehow pulled off, Danny expected nothing less from Seunghyun hyung. He put his hands inside the pockets of his jacket and listened immediately after closing the door. 

Danny rose a brow in curiosity. Yoona, the girl from the alley deal a few nights back? He eyed the elder and then looked back at the chair that he was motioned towards, sitting down whilst leaning forward in anticipation. Of course, his stomach dropped slightly at the sight of such a heavyset envelope.

With a deep inhale, Danny reached for it and immediately peeked in at the enclosed information. Pictures, paper-clipped packets, forms filled to the brim, with all this paper work Danny was taken aback slightly. After all, he had his deals and his own quotas to fill. But for Seunghyun hyung, he pretty much had no choice. 

He simply nodded, taking out a particular sheet that had heavily highlighted sections throughout a typewriter styled font. He grazed over undecipherable words and phrases, all including some insinuation that they’re obediently tending to their on devices, whatever that meant. It wasn’t until the other said something that Danny looked up, and then back down at himself.

The bill of his baseball hat faced the door, his old denim jacket was thrown over a thin hoodie, and he hadn’t washed his jeans in at least - actually, he didn’t know when he had last washed them. Of course, Danny didn’t realize what Seunghyun meant until he processed it completely.

He rolled his eyes and looked back at the papers, flustered to even reply with something snarky enough to be a retort.

“ Wouldn’t you like to know. ” Danny put the paper back in the envelope before looking at the other, rather nonchalantly. “ Is there anything else, hyung? ”

Arbitrary Opinions - JinyoungxHimchan

[ x ] 

Mark knew everything about Himchan, he trusted him, so when he brought up the topic of his gender fluidity, he thought nothing of it. The man listened, as he always did and gave the blonde the affection he needed when it became too overwhelming, but it wasn’t until they heard a voice, someone clearing their throat from somewhere in the gallery when the escort realized, Mark wasn’t the only one who knew anymore. 

He panicked, not knowing how to deal with a complete stranger finding out his secret. He knew nothing of Jinyoung, where his allegiance lay, if he even had one but he needed leverage, something to keep the man from spreading his secret. Himchan wasn’t ready for people to know, he wasn’t confident enough yet to admit to others that he also considered himself a woman. He wasn’t ready, not yet, not now. So, his only option was to befriend Jinyoung. He needed to keep a close eye on him, hoping to retrieve threatening information to use against him if his secret was ever leaked. 

He looked down at his phone again, mumbling under his breath. Himchan was almost ready for his second cup of coffee, the one in front of him now almost finished and growing cold. A pout formed as he pushed his coffee away, “Next time, I’m going to be late, make him sit all alone for a while.” 

[vmxjinyoung]

Danny knew very well that he was late.

But there was a good reason, that he wouldn’t be able to explain completely. A certain meeting with a particular customer ended with a surprise meeting and a long story. To give it quite plainly, Danny made dirty money with a little pain and he’d prefer to leave it like that. 

It was only one of the many things that Himchan wasn’t supposed to know, although granted, Danny knew to call Himchan by her preferred pronouns. It was all a mistake, really, but maybe for the best. He felt like he was part of a movie, something noir or very avant-garde, where he has a warm and sweet hot chocolate in front of someone he may consider a complete stranger whilst knowing her secret. 

He drove with ambition to go at least ten kilometers over the speed limit, knowing that Himchan would probably be gibing him the look as soon as he got out of the car.

It was at a stoplight when he thought of how complicated things were getting for him, and how nice it was just to have someone to talk to on a name-to-name basis. Over hot chocolate and coffee, crossed and stretched out legs, perfect poise and a complete slump. He smiled, removing his baseball cap and putting a hand through his hair. Leaning up to look in his rear-view mirror, he checked his fringe and for any blemishes around three days of no shaving. It was a curse, really, to have facial hair that grew this fast. 

He wasn’t one to flaunt over his own appearance, there were more mirrors in the car than in his own home. 

Not much to say there, Danny had little to no understanding of appearance. If anything, Himchan was the one to ask about fashion. He had the occasional flannel and ripped jeans with converse, which was a must. Converse and a hat of some sort, a jacket to hug him tight, and that’d be his look. He never guessed that it was the most attractive, though he quite liked his lackadaisical look, it was probably the best he’s seen out of all drug cooks.

As soon as the light turned green, he headed straight for the cafe. He spotted the blonde, who was looking rather spectacular per usual, and began his parallel parking. He worked his way slowly and surely on a road that was (thankfully) not very busy this time of day. 

He exited the car and scratched the back of his neck, forgetting that the bruising around his collarbone and the cut on his lip was exposed.

Danny sat down, apologetically looking at Himchan, as though he were to be scolded.

“ My bad, rough morning. ”

@vmxvictory

This particular person never called him without reason, or just because.

Favors, inside delicacies, or particularly specific initiations between them. It was all grey area, Danny never knew what he was in for when he got the call from Seunghyun hyung. They met even on strange circumstances. He remembered the situation as clear as day, it was traumatizing in some cases. One man had killed another in the very basement that Danny did his work in, a bullet to the throat and then to the head since he missed his target. 

He hadn’t seen something like that before, so he didn’t plan on ever seeing it again.

Nobody knew of his existence, if they did, it was by Danny or Daisuke. They wouldn’t know of his whereabouts, he was sent a new license plate every two months, and he had people like Seunghyun hyung who made sure that he was put to proper use.

After a thirty minute drive, Danny was heading up the stairs with a heavy heart. Unsure of what he would be told, or what he’d be telling Seunghyun hyung. 

Still, he knocked.

“ It’s me. ”

“ I can give you time, Danny. ”

“ I’m sure you can, but the head honcho’s got plans. You can’t slump those, nobody can. ”

“ As big of a deal that you think this is, he can’t find you. Nobody can. ”

“ That’s what everyone said about Kyung. ”

“ Then just — ”

Danny looked at the other with confusion, unsure as to why he was suddenly changing topics and talking about a girl. Saying that Danny should just contact her, relax, and take his time. He plays along, quite obviously, but he’s completely unsure as to who they’re avoiding conversation with. Until of course, he’s forced to turn towards the bartender.

The two men sat at the bar, two glasses of scotch and soda water, in front of someone that wasn’t who they thought it would be. A young woman was approaching with the manager guiding her, showing her all of the areas of topic and other tricks that she should know.

All while Danny made sure that his backpack was completely sealed and closed, he acted as though he were somber. A hand on his back comforting him, sprite as his only vice, and a prayer to God that the manager wouldn’t show her the small safe under the register. It was here that he did his deals or meetings, after all, nobody could know of his whereabouts. He expected the same guy that always had this shift, and it just so happened that he had an important deal to sort out. 

He was unsure of how he was going to get out of it, but he knew that they looked suspicious enough when the two men looked over at her with conspicuous curiosity and then turned immediately to change their subject. Danny heard the other retreat, saying his quick goodbye and that he’d contact him later to talk. 

So, he just sat there. His baseball cap propped on the table and his sweatshirt a little too warm for this interior, he didn’t quite look as though he belonged here. But he knew what he had to do.

“ This your first shift? ” He looked up at her, direct eye contact and a look of simple curiosity.
