Part 1

When you met him in a bar you had no idea what you were getting into, but what you did know is he was hot. Like, next level hot.

He was sitting at the bar talking to men dressed in suits about something that looked intense. You were slightly curious so you sat near him at the bar, but not so close that you were right beside him.

“I told you to take care of it. End of discussion. Make sure it’s done and don’t come back until it is.” One man apologized and bowed 90° and left.

You pretended to be interested in the straw in your drink when you heard the stool get pulled out beside you.

“Hear anything interesting.” He didn’t ask this, he knew you were listening.

“Not really. But that man seems to have done something, or not done something in this case. Seems really important.” You shrug, trying to be nonchalant about it.

“If I told you I would have to kill you” he said with an equal but real sense of nonchalance.

He ordered a drink and gave you a look.

“What?” You ask, picking up your own.

“Nothing. Nothing, you just look beautiful.”

You nearly spit your drink out and laugh.

“It’s a dark room, but thank you.”

“I’m serious.” He sets his drink down and gives you an intense look.

“Sure. Uh huh.”

“I’m Wonshik.” He holds his drink out to signal he wants to cheers

You give him a strange look “y/n. Nice to mee you” you say, connecting your glass to his.

You talked for what seemed like hours with him, but you realized by the end of the night that he was asking you more questions while skillfully dodging yours.

“So tell me, all night you have been dodging my questions… Why?” Now that you have a few more drinks you worked up the nerve to ask him.

“You really want to know about me?” He too has had a few more drinks, and seems a little less closed off.

You take the opportunity to pry a bit more. “What do you do for a living? Clearly it’s an important job or else that guy wouldn’t have been so apologetic for not having done it”

“Not the conversation for the first meeting my dear.” The tone alone was enough to stop you from asking anymore questions, let alone the dark expression on his face actually scared you a bit.

“Okay, so another night then.” You wink.

“Honey you do not want to go down that road” there was something in the way he said it, maybe it was the alcohol making you over think things, but it sounded a little lonely.

You reach over and put your hand lightly on his arm.

“I can handle it.” You sound so sure of yourself that you see a flicker of surprise on his face.

You felt brave so during his brief moment of emotion you lean in and plant a kiss on his lips.

He hesitated for just a moment before returning the kiss.

You don’t remember much after giving him your number when you wake up in the morning. You weren’t sure if you tried to bring him back to your apartment, or if you tried to get back to his or if he wanted you to go back to his, but you do remember feeling sad when the men in suits came back and informed him of something, (you swear you saw blood on one guys pant cuff) and him giving you a kiss on the hand before departing.

You wanted to text first, but you had no idea what to say, so you decided to busy yourself with menial tasks around the house today.

After a while you shoot a quick “what was that all about?” Not expecting much of a response.

No response was exactly what you got, so after a while of not hearing from him and going about daily life you just decided to pass the interaction as just a random encounter with a handsome stranger in a bar.

That night after work your colleagues had agreed to go out for a group dinner, and since it’s polite to go, you tag along dispite mostly wanting to stay in for the night.

You participate in the merriment and loosen up a bit after a couple rounds, and happily agree to go out for karaoke with a smaller group who still wanted to hang out.

Before you even make it to the karaoke bar you swear you see Wonshik in the middle of a group down near the end of an alley, and they didn’t look to happy to see him.

You shake your head, “there’s no way” you mutter.

“Didn’t your mothers ever tell you it’s impolite to fight six-to-one?” You could hear the familiar voice almost growl.

“Ah shit” you weren’t sure at this point if you should interrupt or something, your colleagues had already gone ahead and the street was pretty much deserted since it was threatening to rain at any moment.

So like any awkward human being you pick up a pebble and throw it at a garbage can near them and duck out of sight.

That didn’t seem to rattle them at all as they close in on him.

“Doi, I can call him!” You smack your forehead and pull out your phone, selecting his name from your contacts.

You hear his ringtone and you see two guys grab his arms, holding him so he can’t fight as the obvious leader pulls the phone out of Wonshiks jacket.

“Hmm, Y/N? What a pretty name. Is she your lady?” He asks with a venomous tone

“She has nothing to do with this.” Wonshik replied with as little emotion as possible.

“I’m half tempted to pick up, we can make this fun.” He laughs.

The call goes to voicemail and you quickly hang up. You shoot a quick text message and hear his phone chime.

“Oh ho, she sent you a message. Should we read it boys?” You hear the group laugh and Wonshik tries to get out of the mens grip, only to be punched in the side by the leader.

“Now now. If she she has nothing to do with this then clearly you wouldn’t be getting worked up. So. You wanna tell the truth?”

“I only met her once in a bar. Seriously, you are a fucking joke if you think she means anything to me” you almost believe him, but the hesitation in his voice was almost obvious, although bossman and his lackies must be stupid since none of them seemed to pick up on it.

“Then let us read what this unimportant person has to say to you. ‘Just wanted to make sure everything was okay? You left in a hurry the other night’ well clearly she thinks that your meeting was more than nothing.”

“Then that’s clearly on her. I told her not to get involved, so leave her out of this.”

You came up with a clever way to kind of let him know you were there.

You quickly fire off another text.

*ding*

“Persistent isn’t she? 'I know you told me not to get involved, but I’ve got your back if you ever need me.’ What is this? Is this some kind of joke?” You could tell the boss was getting pissed now.

He grabbed Wonshik by the hair “did you tell anyone you were coming here?!” He was furious when all Wonshik did was smirk in response. “Fuck it. Rough him up, maybe that will get him to talk.” The men comply when you step out from your hiding place.
