DIVINE

chapter 12

Maria's pov:

If you told me a few days ago that the Jung Woo Young, the most known mafia leader, would be begging me to go on a date with him and then confess his feelings to me I would have called you crazy but well, here I was.
Sitting on my couch after he left, touching my lips, still feeling his kiss. I smiled to myself, now being too distracted. I took a shower and now I  was laying in my bed, watching a movie. The only problem was that even if the movie was playing, my mind drifted to a certain dangerous man.

Woo Young's pov:
After I left from Maria, besides the fact that I already missed her, I was so happy that we were finally something. We both knew that we should do something about our relationship. I think, no, I know that none of us would want it to end after the trial. And another thing that was for sure, it was that I felt more possessive than I already was with her. I swear to God I won't let anyone touch her, even look at her. She might play with my thoughts, but nothing changed about me, I was just more protective now.

I am glad I could finally manifest myself, now that she was mine. I always cared for her. Even earlier at the restaurant, while she was cutting the steak she was eating, her knife slipped a bit of the plate. It wasn't the sound that scared me, it was the fact that she could get hurt. I was already watching her, like always, also listening to what she was saying, but I got alarmed as soon as the knife slipped. I also pay attention to the details, because of my job of course. However she was worthy of every second of attention I could give her. After that, she only said ,, oopsie" in a cute voice trying to brush off what happened, but me? My heart was beating too fast. And that was just because of a knife that was used while eating.

She was also very short. Shorter than me. And even if she had this aura that screamed power and an attitude that was so cold yet so beautiful, she was still very cute. This fact also making me want to protect and care for her. She seemed so fragile sometimes, so innocent for this world. At least the world that I live in. I know she was a lawyer, she saw a lot and been through a lot and she was tough, but at heart she was so sweet and not everyone knew that, she never let her guard down. She did it only with me.
So here I was, laying in my bed, thinking about her.

When I got home, my friends were so happy for me. Like I said, I have a lot of workers, but no one compares to my 7 friends that were always there for me. They were like family, my brothers. And together we went through a lot. Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi and Jongho were there since the beginning.
They started cheering for me, even if I was the boss, between us it was different relationship. If it was another worker and he did something wrong, he would be fired, depends, even killed. But with them? No.

-So our boss has a girl now, huh?
San said smirking.
- Shut up Choi.
They smiled widely and congratulated me like I won something so important. However, I did. I won the most important thing.
- Now for real, I am happy for you, man!
Mingi said.
- Thanks brother.
I knew that somehow, being with her was a risk. I was now a bit afraid that I could put her in danger. She was already my weak spot... I could never forgive myself If something happened to her. But that night, I swore to myself that I will protect her with my life, no matter what.

Maria Viotto was mine, everything that is around her and the ground she walks on should be safe. No one can touch her. No one. Fuck, If someone would even dare to say only a bad word to her I would cut his tongue and shove it right down his throat. Okay enough Woo Young, calm down.

After spending some time with my friends I went to sleep with a certain brown eyed girl in mind.

Maria's pov:
The next morning was very usual for me, it was sunday so I got up, made some pancakes and watched tv. I loved cartoons, they brought so much comfort to me. So while chewing on the pancakes I was calmly watching tv.
All of a sudden, my phone buzzed.
,, Wooyo<3 " it said.
Okay, I admit, I changed his name in my phone, but I couldn't help it last night. I was sitting in my bed giggling and kicking my feet over what happened so... I made some changes. I am just a girl...

,,Good morning, darling. How are you?"

I was melting. What should I even respond to him?
,, Can I call you?" I asked.
,, Of course, you don't have to ask"
So I called, immediately getting an answer.
- Hello, love, how are you?
-Actually bad.
- What? Why? What happened? Are you sick? Are you okay? Did something made you sad? Did someone said something to you? I swear I will end them right-
-Woo! I am okay!

I was now laughing at his cute worrying.
- I meant I am bad because I was eating some pancakes and my tummy is full. However, I wish you were here. I have to make you some pancakes too one day. I also watch cartoons, it's comforting...
I could hear a sigh of relief coming from him, happy that I was fine.
- That sounds so fun, I wish I could be with you now, but I have to be somewhere right now. It's an urgent meeting.
And that made me realize again who he was, of course he was a different person with me, leaving the dangerous facade aside, but I honestly didn't even want to know how it feels to know his other side. Imagine making him mad...
- Oh I understand...
- What if, tonight you will come to my place and we can cook together? I can come pick you up after I finish my work.
He asked.
- Of course, I would love to.
- I am glad, we will stop to buy groceries on our way home, that way we can grab whatever you desire for cooking.
- Thank you Woo, I can't wait to see you.
I said nervously, fidgeting with my hands.
- Take care love, call me if anything happens.
And the call ended.
I liked this man so much damn.

Woo Young's pov:
Will I ever stop saying she is adorable? Fuck no.
I loved that she was like that only in my presence. Watching cartoons and eating pancakes? I could only imagine smiling how she was. That made me so happy for a few minutes, distracting me from my thoughts about a job I had to do.

Some guys messed with me so, they will find out soon about  who they disrespected. That's how it worked, she was the light on my life already. It might sound stupid, but life made no sense before. I got used to being emotionless, cold, I felt unlovable, but things apparently change when you know there is someone for you. Now I was mad of course, but the thought of cooking with her made me want to finish faster. She also said she can't wait to see me. God how I loved that.

Anyways, now I had to rush.
I grabbed Yeosang and Seonghwa with me, San and Jongho staying in the car giving me directions while Hongjoong and Yunho were hacking the camera system from the building where the fuckers were.
An office building, pretty normal for some motherfuckers who stole money from the mafia.
Me and my men look presentable, acted calmly, at least while using the elevator. When I got to their door, well, I didn't waste two seconds.
Breaking the entrance, I scared the suckers.
They jumped and wanted to grab their guns. That didn't happen tho, I shoot one's hand and he got to the ground wincing in pain. The other two wanted to shoot as well but Seonghwa and Yeosang shoot them in the head and chest, leaving their pathetic leader alive, just for me to torture.
- Now tell me, you ugly motherfucker, where is my money? Hm?
I said while stepping on his bleeding arm.
- The seif!
He said desperately, wanting mercy from me.
-The code? Tell me the fucking code right now or I will shoot and won't miss this time!
- It's open already! Just leave me alone please...
- Good, now, fuck off.
And I shoot him. He was now lying there but I couldn't care less.

I got my money, even if it was a small amount or not, I didn't fucking care. You won't steal from me.
With my job finished, I got the other men to clean up while me and the boys went home.
Personally I had to be somewhere.
I got cleaned up, changed in more comfortable clothes and I was ready.
I let the boys know that she was coming over.
We lived in a very big mansion, it was mine but we didn't need something else. The house was huge and I didn't think about getting a separate one. That made me think about the future. What will it bring? Whatever it was I wanted Maria to be a part of it no matter what.
I grabbed my keys, went to the car and started driving to her.I couldn't wait to hear her voice again.
