chapter 6 : morning after

the luminous morning sun rise from the hazy white clouds, golden sunlight lazily lit up your spacious living room.

the warm light softly lingered on your face, causing you to stir in frustration.

reaching your hands out to grab a pillow, eyes wide open when you realized you're sleeping on the sofa. completely naked.

series of events from last night begin to flood into your head.

fuck

you had sex with him after you guys fought.

stretching your hands out, you groaned, the bruises and hickeys on your body hurts.

haruchiyo was no where to be seen. you're not surprise either, this isn't the first time he has left you hanging there all alone.

great, now i have to get up for work

standing up, feet touching cold floor, your knees weakened down making you fall.

shit my legs hurt, why did i let him fuck me knowing there's work tomorrow

bleating your way to the bathroom holding the walls for support, the bruises urticated as the ice cold water fell on your skin.

putting on light makeup, enough to cover the marks he gave you. getting ready for work, you're actually planning on telling mikey that you'll be off today but you remembered there's tons of undone paper works you have to complete.

you exhaled. putting down the make up brush, not until the door bell rang again.

"RI OPEN UP!!!" banging sound from the door completely ruined your morning.

"COMING!!!"

opening the door, not looking at who it is so you assume it's haruchiyo.

"does the word after care even exists in your dictionary?!" you grumbled.

"what?"

hearing a very familiar voice, realizing it's not haruchiyo. it's rindo.

"uh nothing, why are you even here?"

"thought something happened last night since you're not answering the door and i've been standing here for 20 minutes until ran told me you probably fell asleep so i gave up" rindou claimed.

and suddenly you remembered what haruchiyo said to you before you passed out on the couch.

"y-yeah i uh fell asleep i was tired after the mission"

"just came here to tell you we're having a meeting in 1 hou- is that drugs?" he stared at the kitchen floor, you turned around only to notice haruchiyo left his drugs here.

"i uh"

shit, ran is gonna yell at me again

"move" he pushes you, walking in picking up the transparent zip lock bag that's been laying on the floor since last night.

"is this yours? or did haru gave this to you?" he queried, raising his eyebrows.

both brothers are very protective of you. ran and rindou, though they are the ones who asked you to join them into a criminal organization gang, dealing with illegal stuffs is a normal thing to do here, but they are very strict when it comes to drugs. especially your so called "lover" is addicted to it, they wouldn't want you to end up like him either.

"i can explain-"

"i don't want to hear explanations"

rindo walks up to the front door, swiping the touch screen control panel searching for the mic button.

the mic button. every bonten higher ups had one in their penthouses, it allows you to communicate to the others. similar to a walkie-talkie.

pressing the button which leads to ran's penthouse, he starts to speak.

ㅤ
"aniki, you there? it's rindo"

"yeah what is it. why are you with ri? aren't you supposed to prepare for the up coming meeting?" ran uttered, speaking through the screen.

"i caught her having drugs"

"pardon?"

"i said i caught her having dru-"

ㅤ
"OPEN UP!!!" the door begin to thump heavily.

rindo opened the door, revealing ran who's in so much anger.

"if you guys keep banging on my door instead of using the doorbell the door is going to fall" you ranted, leaning against the fully white painted walls.

"oh so the door is more important than your health?!" putting both hands in his pocket, ran begin to walk closer.

it's been 20 minutes since they've found out you did drugs last night. you yawned, sitting at the sofa heeding about ran's presentation on why you shouldn't do drugs. at the same time, rindo standing beside staring at you.

feels like a child getting disciplined by their parents for doing something wrong doesn't it? matter of fact, they act more like your parents instead of brothers.

"if me or rindo caught you doing drugs again, i'm separating you and sanzu. end of discussion, now go get ready for work" both men walks out from your penthouse, rindo slammed the door.

"MY DOOR!!!"

trudging your way to the office, hoping no one notices the way your legs trembled when you walk. few moments later you successfully reached your office room.

closing the glass door, throwing your bag onto the couch, you begin wrapping up all the unfinished paper works.

the meeting was fast, just mikey making sure the right amount of guns and drugs are shipped rigorously.

"you guys did well on the mission. yoshitomi is currently laying low, so there won't be any attacks soon. that's all, you can leave now" mikey stands up, walking out from the meeting room munching on his dorayaki, following by the rest of the members.

haruchiyo was absent. catching up with kakucho, you tapped on his shoulders.

"have you seen haru?"

"don't think so, i didn't saw him today"

"oh alright, thanks"

"he's probably popping pills in one of the abandon rooms, you don't have to worry that much" he beamed before walking away.

back to your office, letting out a big sigh, you continue arranging the paper works you had left earlier.

being a criminal wasn't as easy as you think, it's not just all about killing and selling illegal goods.

just like any other works, sitting in your office all day doing paper works is a must for criminals too.

"guess i left my drugs at your penthouse, my bad darl. my bad"

a croaky voice entered, echoing around the cavernous room.
