"Thank you so much for shopping here.. Please come again.. " I smiled brightly at the last customer who was exiting my small and modest shop, to be honest I inherited this tea shop from my grandfather, the only family member I had left after the death of my parents in a car accident and ever since my grandfather became sick, I had no choice but to take over his tea shop and also search for another work to be able to pay his medical expenses and my living expense.
"Miss YN, we ran out of the black tea products and the wholesaler said he will deliver us next week maybe" my coworker Lanah said as she was cleaning the small table, making me sighed and nod,
"It's alright, I guess we will serve customers with what we have since Grandpa's tea shop is well known, changing brand can make us lose customers and we can't afford that.."
Things were tight but I just hope my new part time job will be able to help me out, part of me hated that my grandpa suffering from his illness and wanted for him to rest forever but the other part of me doesn't want to be left alone in this cruel world. I was frustrated with my own selfishness, it's not like I can control death or something but I was born with a special ability to heal small injuries, weird isn't it? I still remember when I was 6years old and fell down on sharp rocks ending up bruising my knees and it was bleeding while I kept on crying and pressing the cuts until they started to dissappear and the pain sooth by itself leaving no marks behind.
No one besides my grandpa knew I could heal injuries, not only mine but others as well. He told me it was a blessing but I shouldn't trust anyone around as I might put myself in danger so I end up hiding this boon and live a normal life.
Once I packed my things and made sure everything was in place, I closed the door of the tea shop before locking it and pulling down the shutters.
"Mhmm.. God.. I need a massage" I groaned as I walked in the dark street while massaging my stiffed nape, my entire back was aching and its my fault too, searching for another job after a full day work in the tea shop was completely draining me out yet it was necessary since luck doesn't shine to everyone equally.
I was so much in thoughts that I didn't realize the entire street was strangely quiet with not a single soul around and the light streets started switching off out of a sudden making me froze on the spot, fear creep onto my spine as goosebumps formed on my skin,
"What the fuck.." I mumbled as my eyes widened as soon as I heard the sounds of engines rolling and countless of motorbike approaching with their headlights blinding my vision. I quickly put my palm in front of eyes as the light was blocking my views and back off a bit so that no one see me, after all they were delinquents and their uniforms was written 'KANTOU MANJI GANG' in KANJI, the notorious gang that has been ruling Tokyo for years and it soon spread it's fear like a wildfire in the Amazon. I still remember I was a teenager at that time, but those delinquents became the most powerful gang, so powerful that they have political powers and none can go against them.
There was a curfew even established and those who roamed on the streets last the curfew they should be taking their own responsiblities since that gang and other rogues were most likely sexual assault like rape, murders and thefts and authorities were clear that they won't take any report nor actions for those victims who decided to walk on the streets past curfew yet if they were able to catch one of the gang members caussing trouble before curfew then they would be arrested. The law was weird and confusing yet as long as I get home, I'll be safe.

Sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard as a soft yawn escape a pair of thin lips, black eyes sticking to the laptop screen while heavy eye bags formed on his pale skin, despite all the fatigue he was still handsome as ever. His tall arching eye brows frowned as he heard footsteps approaching him in the dark room he was.
"Still working Koko?" A voice questioned him as the man named Koko stopped typing on his laptop and divert his eyes off the screen while nodding,
"Yeah.. I need to finish doing all the research about the new Italian mafia we are about to make a deal with.. We can't trust anyone new in this world, you know that Ran.. Mikey hates mistakes and especially he doesn't trust anyone easily.. " Koko spoke as he leaned his head on his leather chair and stretch his arms, while the other man figure became clear as he approached the tinted glass window, the moonlight reflecting on his black uniform and his long hair was neatly braided both sides, dyed black and blond. (AN, I know I've put a picture of Ran with Shorter lilac hair and im describing his braided long hair here but fear not, just follow the story line..)
His lilac eyes looking down at the city sleeping in fear as their men was patrolling around, his lips twitched as he bit his inner cheeks,
"Damn... Mikey left me stunned earlier when he said he was ready to welcome a heir.. Everyone thought he impregnated one of his sluts but it seems he has other plans.." Ran mumbled as he turned to face Koko and leaned his back against the window glass.
Nodding in agreement again, Koko spoke "it's better this way.. Because Mikey lost all his family members and loved ones, I guess he is ready to start again but I think he might be very overprotective towards the mother or the baby.. "
Ran hummed and light his cigarette as both men were still speaking in the dark room as the moon with only source of light, "He said... We'll be sharing the same woman.. And this made things even more interesting.. That woman will be valuable since she will have a whole harem to rule just for herself.. I wonder who is she?"
"The lady in the tea shop.. Miss YN LN.. " Koko mumbled as a smirk formed on his face while Ran was shocked and he nearly burn himself with his cigarette between his fingers, his lilac eyes blinked as his brain processed every single syllable that Koko just said. He now remember the familiar name that he often heard his boss whispered ever since he went to pick up Mikey in a nearby tea shop down the street after apparently one of their men bought his dorayaki and tayaki, he found it so delicious that he personally went to the shop and eat.
That day, Mikey dressed up casually saying nothing yet he spent the whole day eating and admiring the beautiful lady who served him with a soft and gentle smile. Since that day the leader Kantou Manji Gang was always lost in thoughts yet he tried to shrug the thought of that woman who blinded his mind.
"Just what kind of being are you YN?" Ran muttered as he turn to face the moon again. His lilac eyes twinkled while he huffed the last breathe of his cigarette and crush it in the ashtray, "But did you do some research on that woman Koko?"
"Unfortunately no, Mikey didn't order me and I thought maybe he wasn't really interested at that time but I guess now is the time to know our woman better, don't you think Ran?
