secrets ━ chapter three

you and Sunghoon arrived at the restaurant, when a bell boy came up to the car and help you and then Mr. Park, out and into the building. "right this way Miss Y/N and Mr. Park." we both followed him into an elevator and waited in silence until we reached the top floor. the restaurant had 5 levels, it was very fancy, and this floor was known for holding the riches and most powerful people in Seoul.
Sunghoon connected his arm with yours, as the two of you walked from the elevator and into the party/dining hall, filled with men in black and grey suits, along with a small amount of women. "wow! Sunghoon, this is incredible. there are so many people here too! do they all work for HYBE, or you father?" you ask, lightheartedly. he replied, "well, sort of. mostly for my father, though. just make sure to stick with me tonight miss Y/N. okay?" you nodded, wondering why.
"you see, some men here are not very safe or nice, no matter how wealthy or fine they seem." he could see a confused look on your face. he further went on, "they will do anything they can to have their ways if you know what i mean. ha- business men, what can i say!" he said, giving you a not-so reassuring wink. you decided to let it go and to stick with Sunghoon and enjoy yourself.

the night was going well. you had a few drinks, and some delicious food, but the highlight of the night, by far was slow dancing with Mr. Park Sunghoon. he was an excellent dancer, and made you feel like you were the only two in the room. he firmly had placed one hand on you waist and the other hand was gripping your hand tightly, but not enough to we're it hurt. it was as if he was saying, your mine, without really saying it. you swayed to multiple dances, eventually taking off your obnoxious heels, dancing barefoot.
the cutest part was when he let you stand on his shoes, letting him do the work, moving the both of your weight around. you laughed and smiled, as he continued to make eye contact with you. he called you beautiful and you blushed. this went on for several minutes.
"ah, why does he make me feel this way?? it's as if Jake is a far off memory, and Sunghoon is mine...is that so wrong.." you think to yourself. "he's so breathetaking, and i feel so right with him. so why is there something i feel holding me back?" you ask yourself, contemplating. Sunghoon interrupted your thoughts, asking, "may i introduce you to my father?" you weresurprised, but nod smiling. he grabbed your heels for you and lead you over to Mr. Park.
"father, this is Lee Y/N." the man, who looked a little like Sunghoon smiled, "ahhh! so your the girl Hoon talks about!" you look over at Sunghoon, to see him blush a little. it was cute. the man continued, "well finally he has something to take his mind of our hard line of business." he said, trying to tease, but the way he said this was more creepy then you think it meant to be. Sunghoon just stared at his father and said, "well, anyways, we are gonna grab a drink, see you later, father." Mr. Park simply nodded and stared at you as you walked away with his son.

you had some more small talk and drinks with Sunghoon. the sweetest was he helped put your heels on for you. he said you wouldn't want to wrinkle that lovely dress of yours, now would u? in a very attractive manner. you think you were already falling for this boss of yours.
you needed to use the restroom, so you said, "hey Sunghoon, i'm okay to use the bathroom, right." he hesitated, but then told you yes and said it was just around the corner and to the left. you nodded, smiling, and thanked him. you walked towards the hall and turned right. the wrong way. you continued down the hall until you saw two doors waiting there. you heard voices speaking in the room and before barging in listened.
"what the hell!? why didn't you tell me that you didn't finish taking care of Mr. Kim? he was the last one on our hit list. you had one, simple job Mr. Choi. you wanted to join my mafia," you froze. unable to move. you continued listening, your head spinning. "you were apparently unable to do a simple kill, that the rest of my men could've had accomplished ages ago. you are of no use to me now." you decided to peer through the door at an unfortunate moment, soon hearing two gun shots fire, and what was a Mr. Choi, dead on the ground, blood seeping around him. Mr. Park then put the gun in the inside of his shirt and sat at his desk, a splatter of blood on his white collar.
all around the room you saw portraits of men, guns in hand, with deathly stares. each date on them became newer, but the name Park on the bottom stayed the same. also throughout the room were guns, pictures of what you thought to be victims, and maps. this floor wasn't just any part of a restaurant, this was where Mr. Parks mafia met. you felt ill. you had to leave. NOW.

sprinting down the hallway, and into the dining hall, you tried to be composed, but your shaking and paleness from the current circumstances, made you look frightened. Sunghoon saw you from across the room and ran to you. you tried moving away but he grabbed your arm. "miss Y/N, what's wrong, you look like you've seen a ghost." he noticed you seemed very off, and walked you towards the elevators area.
"Sunghoon, your father just shot a man." he started to say, "what-" but you cut him off. "DONT YOU PLAY DUMB WITH ME. y-you...your a part of the mafia. oh my god... WHAT THE HELL SUNGHOON. and don't even try to lie to me because i already know. all the lists, the killings, HELL! THIS GODDAMN DINNER! it's all for your dad, or you, or whatever the heck is going on here. and oh-oh my gosh... the list you gave me. I-I HELPED YOU KILL THOSE INNOCENT MEN. YOUR A MONSTER!"
Sunghoon stood there staring at you. Tears filled his eyes as you continued screaming. "and Jake- JAKE WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?! TELL ME RIGHT NOW!" you said, tears streaming down your face, anger in your voice. "he-he is okay, i told him to break up with you because i-" "you TOLD HIM? more like FORCED HIM! no wonder he seemed scared, AH you scumbag! i knew something was up... oh my gosh- i- TO THINK I ALMOST LOVED YOU. A COLD BLOODED KILLER. you ruined Jake and i-"
"YOU DIDNT EVEN LOVE HIM!" sunghoon piped up. "THAT IS SO NOT EVEN THE POINT. THE POINT IS YOU USED ME TO HURT OTHERS AND HAVE BEEN LYING TO ME ALL ALONG. i cant believe you-..this..-i.." you said, in shock at everything you had said and found out about.
"please, calm down, Y/N we can fix-" "FIX WHAT? something that never was!? and don't tell me to calm dow- oh my god, that's it i am leaving. i'm done working for you and THIS. DONT EVER TRY AND CONTACT ME AGAIN, YOU PHYSCOPATH!" and with that you ran down the stairs for you life. you sprinted, running away from this place. away from him.

Sunghoon turned around, his head in his hands, as he fell to the floor, realizing what he had done. Y/N was his coping mechanism for the cruel job he had grown up in his whole life. his one piece of sanity had now left him. the thing that turned him soft, now saw him as a monster...
