I thought my day couldn’t get any worse, I was wrong. First, I got fired from one of my jobs for being “too mouthy”, but luckily I still have my other job at the museum. Then someone was knocking on my door right as I was about to eat. I groaned and made my way to the door. When I opened it, there was two cops stood there, one with red hair and the other with back hair, the latter being quite a bit taller.

“Hi ma’am, I’m Officer Lee and this is my partner Officer Seo. We’ve had reports of drug paraphernalia in the building, we’re going to need to search your apartment.”

I rolled my eyes at the officer. Why would I have drugs?

“Yeah, well. Not unless you have a warr-” I stopped mid sentence when the red haired cop, Officer Lee, shoved a warrant in my direction. The two of them pushed passed me into my apartment.

“Okay well, I’m not staying for this, I’ll be at the cafe down the street.” I grabbed my purse and keys before they could stop me from leaving, let’s just hope they aren’t crooked cops.

Something about this situation seemed odd, but to say I wasn’t surprised would be an understatement. I sort of expected something like this to happen soon, my apartment building wasn’t exactly the best. We had our fair share of drug dealers, crackheads, and drunks living in the building. The only thing even remotely surprising was how attractive that asshole cop Officer Lee was.

I went to the cafe and after a while of waiting for them to search my apartment, I went back. On the way out of the elevator, I passed by Officer Lee. For a quick second it seem almost as if he winked at me as he was getting in the elevator, and there was definitely a smirk on his face.

I brushed it off and continued to my apartment. When I opened the door, I dropped my purse and went still. “Are you fucking kidding me?”

I should have known something was up, it seemed odd but I didn’t think anything of it. Most of my things were gone, everything that could be sold. I quickly turned around and ran in the direction of the elevator. It was gone and so was the guy who just robbed me. I pulled my phone from my pocket and called the actual police.

The next day, after filing a police report of everything I could think of that was stolen, I had to push myself to go to work. I was still angry with myself for letting that happen, but I had to put on a happy face and give educational tours, working as a docent in a museum meant I had to be friendly. Thankfully, I got through my entire shift without snapping on anyone. I changed out of my work clothes into a more casual outfit and walked to my car around the back of the building. It was dark and the ally was slightly creepy but it was something I had gotten used to. Something I had not, however, was the red haired thief leaned up against my car with a cocky smirk on his face. I stopped a few feet away from him, my blood boiled and I probably looked like I was about to murder him.

“What’s wrong, Princess? You’re not still upset are you?” He chuckled.

“Are you kidding me? You robbed me! Of course I’m upset!” I yelled and pulled my phone out of my pocket, ready to call the police.

Before I could dial, he reached out and grabbed my wrists, stopping me from moving at all. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

He was suddenly a lot closer, his face only inches from mine. I was so frustrated that I just wanted to cry, but I didn’t.

“What do you want?” I asked, keeping up the charade of bravery.

“Come on, we’re both going to get into your car, and I’ll propose a deal, a trade if you will.”

I sighed, there was no way for me to get out of this, I was just going to have to do what he said.

“Fine.”

He pulled my car keys from my hands, a smirk still on his lips, and unlocked it. He opened the driver side door for me to get in and I did. He went around to the passenger side and shut the door behind him.

“Now, you have two options. Either you take the deal I offer you, or you mysteriously disappear and no one ever finds out what happened to you. Do you understand?”

I nodded my head yes. “What’s the deal?”

“I assume you’re smart enough to have figured out by now that I’m a con artist. I play a specific game, a game of favors, three favors to be exact. In this particular con, you do me the last favor.”

“Okay… what’s the favor I have to do for you?”

“You’re gonna help me rob the museum.”

“I’m what!? I will not help you do that, I would rather disappear than go to jail!”

This guy had to be insane if he thought I would help him.

“There’s something in it for you, Princess.” He chuckled, a low and attractive rumble in his throat.

Maybe I was the insane one if I was thinking about him being attractive when he has me in this situation.

“What could possibly be in it for me that would make me even consider doing this?”

“You’ll get all your stuff back, and a guarantee that we won’t get caught.”

I sat silent for a minute, thinking over my options. There was really no way for me to get out of this safely without helping him.

“So, what’s your answer?” He raised his eyebrow in question, a single notch through the end of it. Although he was sitting here manipulating me into breaking the law, I had to admit he was very attractive. He had a sharp jawline and dark, alluring eyes, the kind of face that could get you to do anything he wanted.

“Fine. I’ll do it.” I sighed.

“Good choice, I’ll let you know how it’s gonna happen, you just have to do what I tell you and you’ll be safe.” He turned and started to get out of the car when I grabbed his wrist and pulled him back

“Wait!”

He looked down at my hand wrapped around his wrist and smirked.

I rolled my eyes at him and continued. “You never told me your name.”

“Taeyong.”

“Okay, my name is-.” He cut me off before I could tell him.

“As far as I’m concerned, your name is Princess.” He winked and left the car, disappearing into the ally.
