Heartless

It had been quite some time since Kai's death, and nothing was done about it. At least Runa tried to get information about Dori and what he was up to, but that man was as smart as he was crazy. Of course, when both she and Jungkook told Dong-Wook, who then discussed the situation with Min-Su, the man blew it off as nothing.

Saying that Kai probably owed him money and since he didn't pay up on time, Dori killed him instead. Now Runa couldn't understand why her father thought that but when she looked into the bartender's files, it was an easy excuse to use since he was in debt.

But Runa knew there was more to it, and per usual, Min-Su didn't care and said as long as Dori didn't directly make a move, leave him be. Because the mafia boss wasn't one to waste his time with rumors, he didn't care about that argument either, even when Dong-Wook agreed with her.

There hadn't been a single thing found about this mystery man and how the Yakuza leader was connected, so in the meantime, her birthday had arrived and her father was busy planning a grand old party to distract everyone, and remind the families of their 'united front'. He knew she hated socializing if it wasn't necessary, but at least the food was always top tier.

Parties were a way of letting loose amidst the chaos of this world, and since she was the Kang heir, it would be good for appearances which were well maintained. Speaking of, Runa sat in front of her vanity mirror while doing her makeup, the guests already downstairs while classical music echoed through the halls, and Jungkook sat at her desk watching her, observing everything she did.

Not in a creepy way of course, but he was having a hard time pulling his eyes away while she spoke to him about Dori and how she was thinking of meeting up with him, hoping to pull a grand manipulative scheme on the male to get him to trip over his own feet and confess.

"You know, you didn't get anything for my birthday. That's considered rude ya know? I am the mafia princess after all, and you of all people should gift me something", she says playfully, looking over at him to see his eyes were already intently looking in her direction.

His soulless gaze makes her nervous and she looks away with a small smile and warm cheeks which the foundation luckily covered. When he stands up and walks over, her eyes remain on her reflection as she dabs on a bit of highlighter on the tip of her pointy nose.

The sound of his heavy boots getting closer made her body heat up with embarrassment...probably because she was way too attracted to him and the fact that he was her exact type didn't make the situation any better. He folds his arms across his chest and leans against the wall, and she looks at him in the mirror when he finally speaks up.

"I did get you something, but you have to wait for it."

She smiled warmly, both shocked and flustered that although he was a bit cold and tried to distance himself emotionally from her, he thought about her and got something even when she had everything. It was kind of cute, such a contrast to how he appeared on the outside.

"Wow...I wasn't expecting that. Thank you though...", she sheepishly chuckles and puts her highlighter stick back in her makeup organizer, "Can you at least give me a clue as to what it is? Pretty please?"

A hum leaves his lips and she turns around to look at him, awaiting an answer. He debates on whether or not to do so or just to let her beg him for a clue, but he decides that he likes seeing her smile a little too much so he gives in.

"One clue. It bites."

She raises her eyebrows with a grin, "Oh? It bites? Damn...I can't think of anything."

For a second, she looks like she's thinking about something, and still nothing comes to mind. Maybe because her brain felt crispy from all the calls she made today so she was lagging a bit. Yeah, that was probably it.
