River stomped all the way to the bar, careless of the fact that it was unlikely Koharu was there. She threw open the doors to Deviant, stomped inside, and spotted Koharu standing behind the bar with a glass in one hand and a liquor bottle in the other. Her eyes flittered to where River stood, and her mouth opened in surprise.


River strode straight to her side and grabbed the bottle and glass from her hand. "I do not think so," She said flatly, slamming them down. "Get the hell out from behind the counter, you're not working here and that's final."


Koharu laughed. "Funny, because my father seems absolutely fine with it." She said, turning towards River and smirking. "After all, this is his club."


River sucked in a deep breath, closed her eyes and held it, and then launched her fist into her cousins unguarded stomach. A loud harsh exhale shot out of Koharu as she doubled over and let out a wail of pain. "Don't leave yourself unguarded, dumbass. I thought you would have learned by now." She said simply, turning and starting towards the back room.


Just before she could, however, the doors to Deviant opened and three figured toppled into the room. River stopped and watched as the three pulled themselves out of the pile they'd created and stood, brushing themselves off. B-bomb, U-Kwon, and Zico stood before her. "What the hell are you three doing here?"


"Making sure you stay out of trouble." U-Kwon answered.


River rolled her eyes. "I'm fine-"


"No," Koharu whistled. "They're fine." She declared, starting towards the boys. River felt a spark of hatred for her cousin when she noticed that the thin girl had, for whatever reason, worn heels that day that defined her toothpick legs and her not even there rear end, and was swaying her tiny hips as she made her way towards the boys. "My name's Lee Koharu." She said, bowing and extending her hand towards the boys.


Zico looked at her hand, smirked, and took it lightly. "Woo Ji Ho." He said, bowing his head.


B-bomb brushed past Koharu and started towards River, ignoring Koharu's surprised gasp. She, instead, reached for U-Kwon, who simply bowed and ignored her hand. B-bomb locked eyes with River. "Please don't do something you'll regret."


River shrugged. "My life is a regretful thing, B-bomb. I'll be fine." She said, turning and opening the doors to the lounge. Inside, all the chairs were flipped up on the tables, and the lights were bright. Typically, the lights were dimmed when someone was using the back lounge, since they were so harsh. The group followed her, but she stopped.


Akito was standing near the back wall, his fingers flying across the screen of his phone. He looked up and immediately smiled. "Hey," He said, sliding his phone back into his pocket and moving towards the group. "Calm down, alright?" He said immediately, wrapping one arm around her and pressing a kiss to her temple. "Hee-Bong is in the office."


River nodded and walked, allowing Akito to guide her, to the the office. She opened the door and moved in without him, leaving him and the others in the hall.


Hee-Bong sat in the office chair behind the desk, his eyes directed down at the desktop, as if he was doing something important, which River knew he wasn't, since she did all the finances and all the paperwork. He looked up slowly. "River. I suppose you heard."
