The reader, or Evelynn Stein, finds herself giving away her service to a millionaire mafia boss named Min Yoongi as payment for saving her life, becoming his personal servant.
As she continues to work for him, she learns that her cold boss isn't as...
It was the morning after homecoming. Yoongi and I were sleeping in after a rough ending to homecoming, but not the night itself if you catch my drift.
Hobi swiftly peeked into my room. I wasn't there. He peered into Yoongi's room and found me asleep with the boss himself in his bed, cuddling. Because we seemed to be sleeping so soundly, Hobi decided not to wake us just to say that breakfast was ready, then left us to our comfortable slumber, quietly closing the door on his way out.

Yoongi was already awake. Because he didn't want to be, he was trying to sleep in.
I suddenly jerked awake.
You: Yoongi...?!
He flinched at my unexpected jump. In one arm, he hugged me tighter and hovered his face over mine.
Yoongi: *quiet* I'm right here, kitten...
A small kiss was placed on my cheek.
Yoongi: *quiet* Don't worry... I'm right here... Relax...
The random pressure in my chest that wasn't there before was going away. Feeling him, I relaxed as he said. I lowered my gaze onto the sheets.
You: I couldn't feel you for a second...
With two fingers on my neck, he checked my pulse
Yoongi: Your heart's beating a little fast... You must be anxious about me...
You: I just don't want to lose you... That would be awful...
Since my pillow was his arm, I felt around for his hand above my head without looking, then held it when I found it. His fingers closed around mine carefully.
Yoongi: You won't... I'm perfectly fine... ... ... But I can't promise you my safety...
You: *sad* I know...
Yoongi: Hey... It's part of being mafia... I'm sorry...
You: Don't apologize... It's part of who you are... We wouldn't have met if you were different... But... everything you do is dangerous. Why shouldn't I expect any more...?
Yoongi: *warning* Evelynn. I don't like this attitude you're putting on.
You: *sigh* And there's the boss again...
He hung his head and huffed out his nose.
Yoongi: Look, I'm trying. Clearly I don't know how to be a good boyfriend.
I didn't say anything.
Yoongi: *soft* Sweetheart... Don't be mad that my career can't guarantee my safety. You will always be my first priority, not me. I don't care what happens to me as long as you're safe and unharmed. I told you this last night and I'll say it again: I would rather die than give you up. I know I can never find another girl like you...
