~Dance with me in the moonlight~ || Jung Hoseok [Mafia ff]

Chapter two

Hyungsoo

"Athena. Osiris." I approach Misa and Chris.

"What?"

I gesture across the room. They both turn to see. Six men in dark navy, their hoods up, covering almost all their faces. I catch the masks in their faces. Nemesis. Awesome.

"Shit. Erebus!" Chris exclaims.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah, I know. I saw them. Uranus, Hathor." I command. "Secure the VIP. Loki, find Selene. The rest with me." Truth is, I need to find Ria. Yoojin made sure to inform me about her meeting with Boss Nemesis from the first time I stepped foot in Gaia. He was critical danger to Ria, he said. Even though, he never seemed to trust me -he is not trusting me now either- he knew where I stand when it comes to her.

And I know where I stand with her. If I leave the VIP unattended to run to her, she will have my ass hang. Let Jungwoo finds her. He will keep her safe.

I only hope she doesn't have any unpleasant meeting.

Ria

"You..." My eyes are deceiving me. There is no other explanation. He is here. Really here. In front of me. Under the moonlight. Again. But this time, he came to me. It's not a coincidence.

"Me." He wears that mask again. That stupid mask covering his face from me. I can only see his lips and eyes. The once dark red hair are now jet black, the night breeze messing them around. He looks at me with an expression I can't read and I don't like it. I don't like the emotions he feels. Care. Sympathy. Love, maybe?

He smiles. And that smile I realize, I love. He takes a step closer and my mind goes on alert. "No!" I almost shout. "Just... No." He doesn't listen. He doesn't stop. He takes a step forward, I take a step back. Until I'm trapped on the railing, his body locks me. His stupidly hot body. I shiver. The suddent proximity scares every corner of my body. My breath hitches and I put my hand in my chest to soothe it. I can't move. I can't look anywhere. I panic.

"You weren't like this the last time we met..." He whispers. "What did they do to you?" 

I try to speak. To tell him what? I don't know. But I can't find my words.

His hand moves slowly. Softly lands on my cheek. He is worried to scare me off, I realize. And I'm supposed to be scared off, I know. But the contract of his flesh on me calms me, brings my heartbeat to normal. What is happening to me?

"Look at me..." He demands. I can only comply to his command. "I won't hurt you, you know that." This dangerous, strange man. He is not scaring me and that is enough to scare me. He just... He feels right to me.

Hesitantly, I raise my head to meet his eyes. And I get lost in them. I want to cry. For what reason, I'm not sure anymore. Not sadness, no. But I can't name it. "What... What are you?" I breath.

He chuckles."You know, I'm definitely not a vampire or a supernatural creature." 

That earns him a chuckle from me. He is trying to lighten the mood, I give him that. "That's it."

"Huh?"

"That's your real smile. Not the one you had plastered on your face all night."

That snaps me up. "You...You have been watching me?" Damn, the VIP.

I break free from his grip and take a few steps away. My hand glue on my gun. Damnit, damnit, damnit. I let my guard down.

"Relax."

"Relax? This word doesn't exist in my vocabulary when I have to deal with enemies."

His expression harden. "You didn't treat me like an enemy a minute ago. Instead, you were having fun with me."
