Taehee groaned as she pulled herself up from her desk. She stood silently, zoning out as she stared at the amount of paperwork she had just finished. She was interrupted by her assistant who rushed in, handing her a cup of coffee.

"Miss Yu, are you already leaving? I made you a dark coffee." She then looked at Taehees desk, papers everywhere. "Oh my, I'll clean this up for you. You should get going." She babbled, quickly bending down to pick up the papers.

Taehee grabbed her wrist, shaking her head. "No, no. It's fine, I'll clean this when I get back tomorrow. You take the coffee for yourself, Taeyeon." Her deep voice spoke, a sincere smile — a smile that made everyone drop to their knees.

Taeyeon's eyes widened, looking up at Taehee before nodding nervously. She hesitantly picked up her coffee and exited her office.

Taehee watched her walk out, soon packing her things to leave herself.

She was heading out the building, a pocket knife in hand. She was to meet someone, her accomplice, Kim Jiho.

A ringing played, she reached into her pockets, taking her phone out. "Kim Jiho." She read the contact, smiling menacingly. She slowly picked up the call, "Hello?"

"You're coming, right?" His raspy voice whispered through the phone.

"Of course, it's my deal after all. Be patient, you'll see me soon enough."

Her finger hovered over the red button, waiting for him to say something just to hang up on him.

Taehee soon arrived near an alley, unfortunately for her, Chanyeol walked out the store infront of her. He smiled, turning to her, looking her up and down as he ran his finger over his bottom lip.

"Well hello, where are you headed? It's late." He took a few steps closer — close enough so she could smell his cologne that made him ten times more pleasant to be around.

Taehee quickly shoved her pocket knife inside her purse. She was surprised, looking through the alley as she was about to speak. "Why are you asking? Mister Na, you know, you can't bud your head in another's business. It's basic etiquette."

"I can't ask why my associate is out at night?" He shot back, putting on a sarcastic face to mock her.

A mischievous smile appeared on her face, she got closer to where their faces were inches from each other. He was taken aback, his body filled with nervousness. He backed up, nodding. "I apologize."

She pouted at him, eyes clueless. "What's wrong? Don't you want to know what i'm up to? I would be lying if I didn't wanna know what you're doing here so late as-well." She flipped it on him.

"I should be heading home, goodnight Miss Yu." He nodded once more, before walking to his black mustang. As he got in, closing the door. He let out a giant sigh of relief, "Gosh, she's scary." He threw his head back, hands on his thighs.

Taehee groaned in annoyance, "Nosy men."
She turned to the alley, rushing in as her figure faded in the darkness. "Kim Jiho, come out. I can smell that smokey smell on you."

He chuckled quietly, pulling her against the brick wall. "I must say, this smokey smell mixes well with that rich scent all over your body." He leaned in his head closer to hers, though she couldn't see a thing due to the darkness.

"Hands off, I almost got caught. Why are you having us meet in such obvious places?" She shook her head, sighing as she did so, her hands pushing him further into the alley so she could see him better.

The light slowly showed a tall build of a man, he had a mask on, only his eyes showing. "I like the thrill of it, a pretty woman walking into an alley. Many would wonder why." He grinned, lifting his mask off, dark brown hair flinging up off his face.

"You're much younger than me, don't touch me like that again." Taehee analyzed him, a finger laid on his cheek.

Chanyeol was still sat in his car, looking out his tinted windows. "Where did she disappear off to? It hasn't been that long." He got out of his car again, squinting his eyes, hearing muffled voices from the alley.

He hesitantly walked into the alley, the sound of his shoes tapping immediately caught Taehee's attention.

She reacted quickly, shoving Jiho into the trash bags. "Stay put." She whispered, taking her phone out as if she was on a call.

Chanyeol flinched, spotting Taehee, "Shit, you scared me." He swore, breathing out, "Why are you in an alley? Get out, it's dirty in here. No place for a businesswoman." He rubbed his eyes tiredly, grabbing onto her shoulders and pushing her out.

"No, i'm fine.." She fake smiled, it was an obvious one.

"Hey, seriously. Why do you need to be in there?" He put his hands on his hips as if scolding her.

She shrugged, playing it cool. "Maybe a random hookup?"

"A hookup?" Chanyeol repeated after, smiling sarcastically. "Are you serious? How dirty.."

"Hey! Stop being so criticizing. Why don't you arrange one for us then and take me somewhere better, huh?" She swore, annoyed for no reason.

He gagged, mocking her. "Oh, how gross.." He coughed, looking down at the ground.

"Ah, what's wrong with this guy.. seriously." She thought, staring at him, she definitely took offense knowing she wasn't having a hookup.

He slowly looked up, seeing the look on her face.

She wasn't there to play around.

He quickly straightened himself up, "You can't be that offended, are you actually having a hookup in there?"

Her crossed arms dropped, picking them up to hold his slim and skinny hands. She rubbed the top of them before staring intently into his hazel eyes.

"Hey— Hey, what are you doing?"

She let go of one of his hands, putting her hands on the back of his head and bringing it down next to her face.

She leaned into his ear, "Don't mess with me, I have business I need to take care of. Go home, understood?"

He shivered, feeling the warmth of her breath against his ear.

"Understood?" She said once more, letting go of him.

He held his hands together, slightly bowing to her. "Okay." He walked away, back into his car.

This time, she watched his car drive away to make sure he wouldn't interfere again. She took three deep breaths, walking back into the alley.

Jiho stood there, "Who is he?"

"Associate back in the departments." She answered. "Did Hwanhee relocate the hideout?"

"Yes, since last night." He looked down nervously.

She threw her head back angrily, "That bitch, I told him to wait for me." She rubbed her face in stress.

A few minutes passed and she finally spoke again, "Take me there."
