Soft on the Inside || Minsung Mafia AU

4. A Familiar Face

 Minho shuffled through his closet, before pulling out a button-up shirt and slipping a black blazer over it. It was his coronation today. When he would officially receive the title of 'Mafia Boss' in front of the entire staff of SKZ, not including the guards on duty, of course. No one except his maids, friends and family knew the fearsome Lee Know was actually Lee Minho, one of the many heartthrobs of JYP College. Only those few people knew what he looked like, and what he was like under the mask.

Since that secret couldn't be revealed yet, he was required to wear his mask to the coronation. The brunette ran his hand over the glittering sapphires and topaz on his mask. It was usually a plain black with golden seams, but his father ordered for it to be decorated for the coronation. "You can't go to your coronation wearing such a plain and shabby mask," he had said. Minho understood, of course, since they had to show their superiority and flaunt their riches. But would people even recognise him without his normal plain mask? He didn't know.

Minho unlocked the door and knelt down beside it to pull on his shoes. Suddenly the door burst open, almost slapping him in the face, if not for his trained reflexes. A boy wearing all black scrambled in, and Minho's head shot up. Who was he? Why would this random guy come into his room at 3 am? The stranger turned his head to look at Minho, offering him a better view of the uninvited guest.

He looked...sort of familiar?

His hair was a light blonde and his bangs drooped below his round eyes. His cheeks were so chubby Minho resisted the urge to reach out and squish them... wait. That was why.

That squirrel boy Hyunjin showed him. AKA Hyunjin's friend.

What was his name again?

Jinyoung? Jinsung?
Oh, yeah. Han Jisung.

Hyunjin had shown him a few pictures of his friend before. In most of the pictures, Jisung was just fooling around, and he looked pretty okay, but after seeing him with a normal expression... fuck, he was cute.

"Uh... why are you here?" He asked Jisung. 

"Uh... um... I'm here for Channie?" the flustered blonde replied, fidgeting with his black hoodie. 

Channie who? 

Minho cocked his head to the side and his backpack fell off his shoulder. His eyebrows furrowed together like two caterpillars trying to make out. "Channie? Who's that?" he stuck out his tongue. "Seems like you got the wrong room," he shrugged. 

The squirrel's face turned pink up to his ears. "Oh, um... thanks! I'll just... uh... get going!" he spluttered. Jisung whirled around and dashed out the open door. 

Minho's expression suddenly turned serious. What kind of coincidence was that? How could a random pretty boy just accidentally burst into his room? He was Hyunjin's friend too. 

He was the upcoming mafia boss. Hyunjin was his closest friend and assistant. This boy had contact with both of them. 

Was he... a spy? A spy sent to seduce him? 

Minho shuddered at the thought. If he was sent to seduce him, it might just be working. 

If Jisung was a spy... how did the enemy know about his past? 

He shook his head furiously to get rid of those painful thoughts. It doesn't matter. I'm going to become a mafia boss. He couldn't get affected by these things. He wouldn't get affected by these things. 

The brunette sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He pulled on his bag and walked out of the dorm room, locking the door behind him.
