Hunters -Ateez AU

Two

San and Eun-Ji reached their motel after a silent drive. Painfully silent. She pulled into their parking lot and turned the car off but didn't make a move to get out of the car. San sat in the passenger side, rubbing his tender neck.

"Are you okay, San?" Eun-Ji asked with concern lacing her voice. San nodded. The image of Eun-Ji's glare pierced his mind. It was unlike anything he had seen from her before. She seemed completely void of any remorse. Eun-Ji sighed and got out of the car, San not far behind. She handed him the keys to the room, "I'm gonna go out for a bit. Do you need anything while I am out?"

San looked down to his younger sister, "I'm okay. Thanks. Just going to rest." He replied while shoving the key into the door lock. "Don't stay out too late." San didn't wait for the reply, but left Eun-Ji in the dark parking lot alone. She sighed and turned back to the car. She wasn't sure where her final destination would be.

Eun-Ji drove until she reached the nearest bar that was still open. She sighed and stepped out of her vehicle, leading herself to the front door of the bar. She slipped into a booth that was dimly lit, flipping through the menu that laid on the table in front of her. She figured she should eat, considering all she had that day was the piece of chicken to shut her brother up.

"What can I do for ya?" The waiter had approached while Eun-Ji was lost in her thoughts. She was startled to the present.

"Oh, dubu kimchi, please." Eun-Ji ordered one of her favorites. The waiter nodded and walked away. Eun-Ji didn't pay much attention to her surroundings at the moment, too busy lost in her thoughts. That was, until she felt a clumsy male slip in next to her. She looked up to him, not recognizing who he was. "Excuse me?"

"Hey there," The male slurred his words, attempting to throw an arm around her. Eun-Ji scooted away, removing his arm from her, "What's the matter, baby?" He smirked, closing the gap between them.

"Listen, I'm really not interested," Eun-Ji protested, finding she could no longer get away from the male. He slammed his hand against the wall by her face, his breath reeked of liquor. "Please leave me alone,"

The male attempted to lay his hand in Eun-Ji's lap, causing her to squirm and try and push his hand away, which only caused him to tighten his grip on her thigh. "C'mon baby," That disgusting pet name made her skin crawl. He slid his hand up her thigh before someone grabbed the drunk by the arm and yanked him out of the booth.

"Do you not understand Korean? She said to leave her alone," The savior spat in the drunks face, pushing him away from the booth. "Get lost before I call the cops," he threatened, staring sternly into the others eyes, showing he wasn't bluffing. The drunk scoffed but left the two, stumbling across the bar. The male looked to Eun-Ji.

He looked familiar, but couldn't put a name to the face. "Are you alright?" He asked, hesitant to get close to her now after the interaction she had just had. Eun-Ji nodded, which caused the male to show her a soft smile. The smile struck the memory. Yeosang.

"I am. Thank you." She presented a smile back. She loosened up, offering the seat next to her. "You can sit, if you'd like." Yeosang didn't wait a moment before taking the spot next to her. "Good timing on your part," She joked with him, earning a chuckle from Yeosang.

"I'm good like that," He joked back, being rewarded with a giggle from the female. Just then her food arrived. She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the tofu, followed with a little dance of satisfaction. Yeosang couldn't help but smile and the younger's beauty. Her black hair seemed to fall perfectly around her face. Yeosang admired each feature, from her deep brown eyes, to her button nose, to her rounded lips. He was broken from his daze when Eun-Ji offered him the chopsticks.
