43. Danger

She followed, sitting in the seat next to him. The crowd behind was still blasting music and cheering louder than ever. But as she sat in ominous silence besides the mysterious and world-famous man, it felt as though no time had passed before Inspirit was back at the van.

"See you later Daniel!" said Oliver in a farewell. YN kept her head down, not looking at Daniel. It felt as if she was betraying him in a way, getting answers while he was in the dark. She had no idea what he wanted though.

DG raised his head, eyes covered ominously with his rose shades. "Oh right. You're waiting." There was a slight smirk on his lips. YN had almost forgotten he was just as much a monster as Gun, perhaps more so. Her ignorance was her protection. She didn't know anything about DG, not for lack of trying to find out. There was nothing online about his youth. "He might be useless but..." DG seemed to be talking to himself. "Oh! Right." He redirected his attention back to Daniel. "Unite the Big Four Crews. And then we'll talk."

He really is an opp. Another person after the Big 4. YN had too many people invested in the goal.

"Still in High School? Then it's a perfect mission for you." His lips were still quirked in that mysterious smirk. "Let's roll."

"WAIT–"

The doors slammed shut, cutting off Daniel's plea. YN felt her stomach drop. She hoped he wouldn't be mad.

DG stayed silent in the car ride while Inspirit chattered amongst themselves, Oliver occasionally asking YN something and the rest of the group shooting her a confused look at her presence.

YN took the opportunity to observe DG. Something was truly ethereal about him. And he was old, perhaps older than Sinu, somewhere around there. Tall and finely muscled, but slender at the same time. His physique was unreal. He was unreal. She tracked the flexing of the muscles in his arms as he raised an arm to adjust his glasses. He lowered the rose-tinted shades to reveal dark eyes staring straight at her. YN jumped and looked away.

Inspirit exited in a private garage, but DG didn't move to leave and the driver continued on to a secluded neighborhood part of Seoul, stopping in front of a massive mansion.

"Where are we?" YN asked finally, breaking the silence.

"Hell," said DG simply.

He's a lot more emo than Sinu. But DG's meaning was clear as YN recognized the beautiful black Mercedes parked in the driveway.

"Oh you're joking..."

DG again was annoyingly silent as he led her up the path to the front door. "Gun never agrees to host. This is one of his estates. I guess visiting you made an impression on him." DG glanced at YN for what felt like the first time since she had gotten in the car. YN rolled her eyes. It's probably to show off after he snuck into my shack.

DG rang the doorbell and there was a scramble inside and someone unfamiliar shouted "I'LL GET IT!" The door burst open and the blonde dude with shiny glasses who had come with Gun to defend the Chairman and Aru leapt out. Goo... He shoved DG aside and gripped YN's shoulders, a wild grin on his face. "Why hellOO there bombshell."

YN raised her eyebrows, sending a surprised glance at DG who shrugged. Goo's eyebrows furrowed and his voice dropped scarily. "Don't look at him, look at me."

Her gaze snapped back to Goo, who's expression was suddenly very dark. She forced a grin. "Hey?"

"Hey!" Expression suddenly lighthearted again, Goo yanked her into the house, slamming the door shut behind them. He dragged her through a massive foyer, past a staircase curving high to the heavens, and into a sitting room lined with bookshelves and elegant leather seats. Gun was sprawled in the middle of a loveseat, arms over the back, ankle caught casually on his knee in legs-crossed position. Crystal was seated on the armchair opposite to him, arms crossed, and eyes closed haughtily. Dg took a seat on the other armchair next to her, leaning to whisper something to Crystal. Goo, arms still on YN's shoulders, shoved her onto a couch, sitting next to her.
