The Escort S2

Part 73: Actions have consequences

Lisa's POV

After several days, I come together with Daesung and my two key players: Suga and Jihoon. Suga and Jihoon are perfect in their roles but it's Daesung that gives me concern. He's a street thug and is as unpredictable as a feral cat. Mixing these two with Daesung will be like mixing oil and water.

"Okay, so that we have full disclosure, Jihoon is my boyfriend." I share before we start.

"Really?" Daesung says and scoffs.

"Let's start with a review to make sure everyone's clear and on the same page. This is the time for us to tighten up any loose ends. Daesung, you're up first. Tomorrow you're meeting with Triton Teoki. Is that in place?" He gives me a slick side smile.

"Yeah, we're meeting at his home at 8:00 pm. He's looking forward to a progress report." He says crossing his legs and leaning back on my sofa with a pumped-out chest.

"Our people will wire you and –"

"I'm not sure about that. I don't want his bodyguard finding it." Jihoon huffs loudly.

"They won't." I speak. "It's new technology created by Hoseok Jae. It's undetectable."

"I'm still not sure about that," Daesung says with a resistive tone with a hand wave.

"What do you mean you're not sure!?" Jihoon snaps, pinning me with a stern look. "Tell me again why we're trusting this street hustler?" Jihoon, spits. I was afraid that these two would clash. Jihoon's fuse wasn't hard to light, and he's been looking for a fight after getting knowledge of how Daesung treated Chany. I'm going to let this play out because these two boys need to settle this before we can start.

"You got a problem with me, old man!?" Daesung sputters with and added dismissive hand wave. Jihoon pushes back his chair and stands. While Suga settles back with an amused expression.

"You come after my boys and then threatened me. Now you're whining about wearing a goddamn wire! We're here to take care of business! Either you're in or out! So, hell yeah, I got a fucking problem with you!" Jihoon yells and Daesung stands facing him locking eyes.

"Look! I wasn't going to hurt your precious Chany. It was business!" Daesung sneers and laughs. "I can't help it your boy's a pussy." Oh, shit that did it.

Jihoon lunges forward, and before Daesung can react, he places him in a serious choke hold. Suga and I say nothing as Daesung struggles for air. He tries to get out the hold, but he is completely helpless. He can't breathe and I pretend to be unmoved as his eyes beg me for help. He's about to pass out and then slaps the table three times. Jihoon releases him as he falls back into the sofa gasping for air and coughing.

Suga leans over and looks at Daesung's neck. "Dude, that's going to leave a mark." He chuckles.

"W-What the f-fuck! You were g-going to I-let him kill me!?" Daesung shouts!

"Personally, I wanted to see how far he was going to take it," I say, now showing him my smug smile. "You're a disrespectful asshole and got dealt with. You know nothing about these two men, yet you run your mouth," I scold.

"Furthermore, you deserve what you got. Do you know Min Yoongi has military special forces training and Jeon Jihoon has skills in negotiation?" I can't see his eyes because his head is lowered as he tries to catch his breath.

Yeah, Daesung's a piece of shit hand-crafted by the streets, poverty, and survival. I get it and I see him. Not too far from my story, but he lacks discipline.

"No, I didn't," Daesung speaks as his breath starts to even out.

"They're perfect for their part. But you, I don't know. So shut the fuck up and you might just learn something!"
