Seokjin sighed heavily as he watched the rain thundering down from his window at work. Great, he forgot his umbrella, and his car was being serviced. Seokjin lived in a dangerous city, the crime rates were through the roof. He can't even count the amount of times he's been mugged, it's why he doesn't carry anything on him anymore. He knew that the mafia basically ran the town, with different gangs competing for their own spot in it.
Seokjin waited until the heavy rain became a light sprinkle before deciding to walk home. He knew that it was dangerous but he also felt like walking. As he walked past a dark alley, he could hear the grunts and groans of a person being beaten. Seokjin looks in the alley and sees two shadows pinning a person while another one punches him. Seokjin knew better than to get involved, but his moral compass told him otherwise.
"H-hey!" Seokjin yells out, the three men stop what they're doing to look at him. He timidly grips his bag strap tighter. He was an idiot, they're definitely going to kill him. He wondered if it was too late to turn around and pretend nothing happened.
"You're hurting him," he said stupidly.
"That's kind of the point" one man snickers, now making his way toward Seokjin. Seokjin didn't want to show how scared he really was, he tried to stand up and make himself taller but he couldn't help but cower. The other male was significantly taller than him, towering over him.
"Wow, you're a pretty thing aren't ya?" The man smirks, eyeing him up and down.
"I know," Seokjin says cockily, "now leave him alone"
"What will I get in return?" The man asks, a mischievous grin on his face. It makes Seokjin feel unsettled, he takes a few steps back.
"The knowledge that you didn't hurt somebody?" Wow, that was pathetic. All three men burst out laughing, echoing through the alley. Seokjin feels his cheeks heat up, who even says that to a bunch of gang members?
"You're ditzy. Let me have my way with you and I'll stop" The man comes closer to Seokjin, smirking at him. Seokjin scrunches his nose, now feeling repulsed.
"Not to be dramatic, but I'd rather die," Seokjin says without a single thought, the atmosphere changes into a dark one.
"What did you say?" The man grabs Seokjin by his shirt and pulls him off the ground. Seokjin's eyes go wide but again, he doesn't want to show how terrified he is but he's not successful.
"Not so tough now huh?" The other man laughs under his breath, Seokjin feels himself pull a face when he smells the bad odor from his mouth.
The guy grips his shirt tighter, his hands shaking.
"You've got some nerve making those faces" he snarls, he pulls out a knife making Seokjin frantically try to move from his grip.
"Stop." A voice says weakly, "Just leave him alone"
"Oh so now he speaks?" The man snarls, "tryna play hero?"
"Let him go and I'll give you what you want"
"That's good news, I'll inform my boss then" the man snickers, he lets go of Seokjin, not before swiftly punching him in the face, making Seokjin groan as he falls to the ground clutching his eye. The three men laugh as they walk out of the alley, discussing their success. Seokjin hears the other man groaning, leaning on the wall to help himself stand up.
Seokjin promptly rushed over and helped him stand, watching as he wobbled, head down.
"Should I take you to the hospital?" Seokjin asks him, the man shakes his head.
"I think I should-"
"-I'll be okay. Thank you" the other male says, groaning as he walks.
"I don't think you will be," Seokjin says as he now holds him by his arm and helps him walk.
"Trust me, I've had worse. They just surprised me" the other male laughs to himself, he looks up at Seokjin and his eyes widen mouth dropping.
"Your beaten pretty bad, my house isn't too far from here I could put some ointment on the bruises to ease the swelling" Seokjin offers, the other doesn't reply but nods slowly still looking up at Seokjin in utter awe.
It was a difficult walk, having to carry somebody that was taller than Seokjin and clearly very built. Seokjin struggled to open the door and carry him inside, he was quick to place him on the couch, panting heavily as he did.
"Wow you're so heavy" he pants, and the other man scoffs.
"What a lovely comment to say to a beaten individual" Seokjin chuckles, looking at the other. He hadn't really looked at him properly, he was handsome with honey-tan skin and alluring narrowed eyes. He has silver hair that just really tops off his attractiveness.
