Your Lips Belong To Me

38: well, shit

JEONGYEON

It's been a month since Nayeon and I started dating. I couldn't describe how ecstatic I felt with her, but I could say that I enjoyed every moment I spent with her. Sometimes I get scared that all of this will go away in the blink of an eye. But, those worries go away whenever I hear Nayeon's sweet voice.

Cliché, but everything doesn't seem to matter when I'm with her.

But of course, I can't just slack off and cuddle with Nayeon all day. I've got duties to fulfill.

Today, we were conducting another operation that involved the underground business. Someone just stole a package from the organization.

To be honest, it's not really a big deal. We could quickly recover the amount of that package. But the thing is, no one ever steals from me. Ever.

Imagine how our rivals would react if they ever found out that I let off someone who stole from me.

"This had to be addressed quickly. You know that no one dares to steal from us right?" Danny spoke.

"Please! It's just a small package- I was just in need of extra cash"

"Who is it?" I asked.

"W-what?"

"Don't make me repeat myself. I don't have time for this"

"Please don't kill me, I have a family" He begged.

"You should have thought of that before trying to steal something from us" Danny replied.

I got impatient, so I nodded my head at Danny before walking away from the abandoned warehouse.

A loud bang was heard throughout the place and an annoying scream of agony.

I took out a stick of cigarette and stuck it between my lips.

I saw Danny in my peripheral vision handing me a lighter, but I shook my head in refusal.

"What's the point of that cigarette, if you're not gonna light it?" Danny pointed out.

"To look cool" I shrugged.

Danny laughed loudly. "You already looked cool boss. Our men even almost peed their pants at the sight of you"

"Is that supposed to make me feel cool?" I scoffed.

"Yeah..? Doesn't it?"

I saw him light up her own cigarette and exhale its smoke. It reached my nose and I almost scrunch my nose at the foul smell.

Mother hates smoke coming from cigarettes, especially tobacco.

I tried smoking once. Just out of curiosity. But every smoke that came out of my mouth reminded me of my mother's disgusted face. My father used to smoke before and it was deeply opposed by my mother.

He stopped smoking when she died.

I don't really smoke. I don't even know why I had a cigarette in my pocket.

I must be out of my mind.

"Why didn't we kill him yet?" Danny suddenly asked.

"He's still worthy to keep" I replied simply.

"I'm just giving you a warning boss. You know that showing kindness means vulnerability, right? If one of the other gangs figured that-"

"Yes, Danny I know. It's not mercy. I just have a bigger plan in mind"

After I ordered my men to throw the guy on one of the warehouses, I went back to the company to handle some business. It surprised me to see Sooyoung waiting inside my office, sitting on one of the couches while drinking a red wine.
