Simalia

Chapter 5

The Simalias are together in their private gym located in one of the big rooms in the house. They all practice individually. Yara gives some kicks in the punching bag dressed in big short shorts that stop above her knees and a sports brassiere.

Erinys and Eileen train together on some hapkido techniques, chaining different moves. Both of them wear sports leggings they bought together one time, happy to match. Adhara practices the knife throwing in the corner of the room, near the big window, throwing her weapons on the wooden board, while Yeleen improves the use of her sabre.

Caym walks in, her phone in her right hand. She also wears a sport legging and a brassiere, she tied her hair in a ponytail during the exercises. They often practiced at the same time, giving each other advice or support, but this time, new people would join.

"Ok girls, the Regis guy is coming with his crew right now," she claps her hands together, her lips a thin line.

Yara rolls her eyes but doesn't say a thing, already annoyed. She continues her training and Adhara and Yeleen do the same.

"Are you sure it's his name ?" Erinys asks unsure.

"Regis? Uh,yeah ?" Caym puts down the water bottle away

"When are they coming -"

Eileen doesn't have the time to finish her sentence when the door opens abruptly. 6 men stood in front of them, gauging them. They probably came in with the help of the simalias's maid that showed them the way to the gym. The girls avoid looking at them, not wanting to pay attention to their little entrance and focusing on their work. The one they recognise as Aiden lets out a scornful laugh and Caym glares at him. A man with black hair and a cold face elbows him in the ribs without looking at him. Aiden rolls his eyes dramatically, trying to have his fun even in a place filled with so much tension.

"Well, hello" Ren walks to Caym while smiling. He extends his hand towards her.

She shakes it politely and forces a smile. "It's nice to meet you all again."

"One of you is missing, am I right ?" asks Yeleen, breathing deeply as she takes a small break.

"You sure are insightful," the member with plump lips looks right at her, and she immediately knows who he is. "Dean isn't here, he had something to deal with first. I'm Kayden by the way but I'm sure you remember that."

She doesn't answer him but still looks at him, remembering the events of this one night they spent together. She had lots of one night affairs, and she always forgets about them the morning after, but now that the most recent one is standing here, in the light of her own house... She shakes her head, ignoring his eager look and listens to Ren as he talks again.

"I'm Ren, the leader of Koraki.This is in order : Elijah, Flynn, Aiden, Kai and Kayden."

The Simalia nod, acting like they were not memorizing their names a few days ago.

"Well, nice to meet you all, I'm Caym, the one in charge here. The one with the saber is Yeelen,the one with knives is Adhara, the two here are Erynis and Eileen and the last one is Yara. Each one of them has a speciality but I'll let you discover them as we work together. I guess y'all can train with us right now, so we can get to know each other."

"So you agreed ?" Ren crosses his arms on his chest while smirking, glad to know that they work now with the most influential and powerful gang .

He has always been so curious about them, the group with no face and so much influence on the dark side of Seoul. He heard so many stories about them, and their habit to leave a drawn snake after they did something always amused him. He truly was surprised when he saw them for the first time, working in a club, looking like anything but members of the most feared gang.
