|Weak Hero| The Big Bad Wolf's Little Princess

Chapter 4

It was only a few weeks later after Wolf's first Union assembly that another one was going to be held. Wolf still hadn't solved the problem of not leaving his daughter alone by himself late at night. It eased his worries a little after Winter reminded him that she had died when she was seven and reassured him that she would be fine staying alone, but Wolf's fatherly instincts still hated the idea of leaving her alone.

Wolf paced around the living room when his phone rang. "What!?"

"Woah there, looks like someone's grumpy,"

"What do you want, Jake?"

"There's a Union assembly at the Han River,"

"Yeah and?"

"I don't plan on attending so if you want, I can babysit Winter,"

Wolf narrowed his eyes. "Jake, what the fuck are your intentions? Why are you suddenly offering to babysit my daughter?"

"..."

"Jake,"

"...I need someone to watch Two Piece with. Dean, Timmy, and Eunchan are still going to the assembly but I don't wanna go. It's more fun to watch anime with friends than alone,"

Wolf thought about pointing out that Donald wouldn't approve of Jake ditching the assembly, but he didn't. It didn't concern him. Since he did need a babysitter for Winter and Winter got along fine with Jake, he decided to cave in. "Fine," He sent his address to Jake. As much as he didn't want Jake in his apartment, he would rather have his daughter stay in a familiar location than Jake's place.

"Winter!" Jake greeted when he arrived. "I'm here to babysit you!"

"Jake!" Winter happily ran up to him. "Jake, why are you here?" 

"I'm here to babysit you while your dad attends a meeting for work," Jake told her.

Winter frowned. "Why aren't you going to the meeting? Your gonna get in trouble,"

"It'll be fine," Jake assured her. "I brought my laptop. We can hook it up to the TV and have a Two Piece marathon,"

"Two Piece!" Winter happily cheered.

"Winter, I'll be back soon, okay?" Wolf gently ruffled his daughter's hair and kissed her forehead. "Love you,"

"Love you too Daddy," Winter said. "Oh, can you do something for me?" She motioned for him to come closer to she could whisper into his ear. "Take a photo of Myles after Donald beats him up,"

"Sure," Wolf was once again confused by Winter knowing two people whom she had never met before, but he didn't dwell too much on it. He stood up and glared at Jake. "If anything happens to her, you're dead meat!" He then left.

"I'm not doing it," All eyes shifted to Myles.

"Myles—" Kingsley stopped when Donald grabbed his shoulder. 

Donald glared at Myles. "Wanna say that again?"

"I said I'm not doing this shit anymore," Myles told him. 

"Myles, you used to be second-in-command, right?" Donald asked. "Don't think I haven't noticed your attitude since you were demoted to third," He fidgeted with his ring. "But you know what? It's not really important to me who's second or third-in-command. All you have to do is do as I say,"

"What? I'm just—"

"And when people stop following orders, I have no used for them," Donald smirked. "So with that in mind, let me ask you this: Mr. Jang's business is awkwardly positioned across Yeongdeungpo and Dongjak, right? And I was very clear when I said to leave out Dongjak businesses,"

"That's right, Myles," Donald continued. "I'm talking about the deal you made with Noryangjin's Yongsu Jang behind my back. You made over five million through that deal, didn't you? You know that when it comes to money he owes, Mr. Jang is a huge mess, right? He's all tangled up form Manwol to Mapo,"

'I didn't tell anyone about this!' Myles turned to glare at Forrest who looked away. 'Forrest Lee, you motherfucker!'

"Don't you fucking look away from me," Donald started walking towards Myles. "Did you really think I didn't know about all your dumb antics? I just looked the other way because I saw your use at Hyeongshin. I hear you hate people who talk too much shit, so why'd you talk so much shit behind my back? You've crossed the line, Myles,"

Wolf silently watched the beatdown. He was surprised but he kept his poker face up. 'How did Winter know Donald was going to beat Myles up?'

After Myles was knocked out, Donald reminded everyone that this was what would become of traitors and that being a founding member was not exception. Afterwards, he dismissed everyone. Wolf walked over to Myles' unconscious form and snapped a photo before hurrying home. 

Everyone was confused by Wolf's action, even Donald. Wolf wasn't the type to take photos of his victories. He simply fought for the thrill of it and not for the fame. Donald didn't feel like wasting time on asking Wolf his reasoning and everyone else was too afraid to dare to question the purple haired demon of Ganghak.

When Wolf arrived home, Jake was asleep on the couch with Winter cuddling up to him. Winter had immediately woken up to the door opening and carefully got down without waking Jake up. "Daddy!"

"Did you have fun today, my little princess?" Wolf asked.

"Yeah," Winter nodded. "We watched a lot of Two Piece episodes! We also reenacted some fights. I was Luffy and Jake was Crocodile. And then when we got to the Marineford Arc, Jake cried a lot when Ace died,"

"How many episodes did you guys watch?" Wolf inquired.

"A lot," Winter answered. "We watched them on 1.5x speed and skipped all the fillers," Winter yawned and rubbed her eyes.

"Looks like someone's sleepy," Wolf picked her up. "Let's get you to bed,"

"What about Jake?" Winter pointed at the orange haired teen who was still out cold on the couch. "Should we wake him up?"

Wolf thought about just kicking Jake off the couch and letting him crash to the floor to wake him up, but he decided not to. He grabbed a spare blanket from the closet and threw it over Jake before tucking Winter into bed. Wolf would never admit it out loud, but Jake looked kind of cute when he was asleep.

Jake's being a good stepdad to his future stepdaughter.
