Drink it up | Kim Hongjoong

007

It's been a few days now, the others were sitting in the living room as I grabbed drinks, I insisted on it since we were going to have the big talk finally. I brought the last few out, I handed one to San and Hongjoong and then to Mingi before I sat down in the middle of them all between Wooyoung and Yunho. "Okay..San do you want to start?" He took a deep breath and stood so that he was in front of us, "Euna..."

My heart was pounding, I already knew what he was going to say but that didn't calm my nerves. "There's no easy way to say it, we're a mafia...everything we do is illegal, we smuggle drugs, weapons, we kill..." He was waiting for a reaction but I wasn't going to give him one, "It's dangerous and I don't want to lose my sister...I knew you'd never approve of this-" I cut him off, "Did I ever say that?" He looked at me confused, "Did I ever say I wouldn't approve of what you do, yeah it's not the best job but hell San look at how happy you are, you found people you actually trust. You found a real family, why would I ever disapprove of that?"

I could see the tears forming in his eyes as I stood up, "Look I've known this for years, I'm not stupid. Especially when you come home with bullet wounds, the way you raised me, the reason I always have a knife on me, you tried so hard to keep it a secret that you made it obvious. The past two weeks I've gotten to know you guys and if San trusts you that's all I need, I wasn't scared to get to know you all because he told me he trusted you with both of our lives. That's rare. If he trusts you all then I trust you all, it just means you have another person who worries about you."

I sat back down and the boys hugged me, "Euna~ I'm gonna cry~" I giggled at Wooyoung, "Let's not because then I'll cry." He smiled and laid on my shoulder, "Well now that it's settled and you approve of us. There's one more thing." Hongjoong gave the floor back to San, "Euna...I have to leave..for a month." My eyes widened, "What why?" Yunho kept me placed on the couch so I wouldn't get up, "I have to scout ahead, after a week Hongjoong will join me and we'll be gone for a while. It's a dangerous mission and while I'm gone the others will look after you."

Tears welled up in my eyes, I didn't want him to go on a dangerous mission, how was I supposed sleep knowing he was gone and in danger. "Euna please don't cry...it's already hard enough leaving you here. While we're gone you're going to have to stay here or the house, those are the safest places at the moment. Someone will always be with you." I nodded and wiped my cheeks, "Tomorrow you start training." I looked at him, "What? But I have classes!" Hongjoong shook his head, "To bad, you have to start as soon as possible, while we're gone you'll attend classes with the others but for this next few days you'll be training. You're already ahead with the work so that's no problem."

"Hongjoong I've already missed class too much, they'll start to question it." He put his hand up, "You're gonna learn to take orders Euna. I've dealt with the back talk and attitude as much as I can but I will put you in your place and San won't have any say in it." I rolled my eyes and sat back, "Whatever." I mumbled, he stood and I looked at him, "And we're gonna work on taking that word from your vocabulary. Alright everyone knows what they're doing today let's get it done." They all nodded and stood up as I sat on the couch already feeling lonely, the others had missions today but I had nothing to do.

The guys hugged me as they left, San kissed my forehead and told me to stay out of trouble as always before he left and Hongjoong went to his office. I sat on the couch for a minute before deciding to make him lunch while he worked, I made him a sandwich and cut it in half before walking to his office. I knocked before I opened it and he looked at me, "I didn't tell you to come in." I frowned, "But I brought you food." He sighed and pointed at the desk on the wall, I walked over and placed it there before walking over to him. I laid my hand on his shoulder as I looked at the papers he was looking at.

"Euna go on. I'm working." I whined, "Joongie please..I'm bored let me help." He looked at me as if he was gonna yell but his face softened, "Look I know you're new to this but there are rules. You don't enter unless I tell you to, you follow my orders and you don't insert yourself into places without permission."  I pulled away not saying anything as I left the room letting the door slam. Hongjoong is mean when he works.
