THE MAFIA BORN BRAT

6

A few hours later he woke to find one of Chan's men sat watching him.
"Take a fucking pic it'll last longer.. you lot like my photos apparently" Felix snapped.
"That was Hyunjin. And I'll admit I looked at the pic and as much as you have a great ass I would not have taken a pic like he did".
"So who are you anyway?"
"I'm Jeongin. I just wanted to make sure you're ok. And to say Chan's not a bad guy. He was looking for you. They don't know about this place though. None of them really care about the gardens. I found this place just after we moved here 2 years ago. It's where I come when I need peace from them. You should go back though. Your cousin was very upset. He'll want to see you're ok".
"I fucked up.. I slapped Chan".
"No, Chan fucked up. He kissed you without consent. He's upset that he's hurt you. You know he's never once shown interest in another man. The fact he likes you should show you how special you are. Go back and make up with him" Jeongin gave him a beautiful & gentle smile.
"So you the group therapist then?"
"No, I'm the assassin".
"0h" was all Felix could manage. Jeongin stretched his hand out to pull Felix up. He then offered the crook of his arm. Felix placed his hand on his arm and they walked in comfortable silence. "So are skirts comfortable then? I kinda thought about maybe trying one" Jeongin asked.
"They are but it's all about the underwear, but yeah there's nothing quite like airing the balls while looking sexy".
"Maybe you could take me shopping Felix".
"Maybe I could Jeongin".

Woo threw himself at Felix crying "Where have you been Lixie I've been so worried?".
"I just walked, I'm ok. Just going to head up to bed". Minho swooped in "No you're not kitty. You haven't eaten the entire day. Come eat with me in the kitchen". Minho made sure he ate then he escaped to his room managing to avoid Chan.

Felix fell asleep quickly despite his earlier nap. He woke suddenly aware something was amiss in the room. He was sure he'd heard something but the room was pitch black. He lay listening then he heard a soft voice "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean to hurt you . I .. I like you but I'm struggling with that fact .. I've never liked a guy before. I like your gorgeous smile, I like your freckles that look like the gods themselves sprinkled stars on you, I like your heart shaped lips, I like you're so small you'd fit entirely in my arms, I like your sassy attitude.. I really like your ass.. it's a masterpiece. I'm an idiot, I've blown my chance with you.. I'm sorry".
Felix felt the truth in the words and was touched but he wasn't about to let him off easy. " You're not just saying all that to get in my pants are you Bang?" he teased then turned on the lamp. Sitting against the wall was Chan clutching an almost empty whisky bottle. He looked up and Felix could see he'd been crying. He slipped out of bed and went to him. "Give me the bottle Channie, I think you've had
enough of this now. Let's get you up on your feet". Chan complied like a child handing over the bottle and struggling to his feet. "I'm sorry .. Lix please don't send me away. Please Felix". He looked so broken, Felix wiped away a tear running down his face. "C'mon now .. you're supposed to be a big tough gang leader.. quit being mushy"  but Felix could feel his own heart hurt at the sight.  He led Chan to his bed and pushed him gently to sit. He wrestled him out of his belt and slipped off his shoes, he settled him into his bed pulling the duvet over him. "Please stay with me" Chan whispered.  "I will, close your eyes now, it's time to sleep" Felix whispered back. Felix sat at the edge of the bed and Chan was out in minutes. He pulled on his robe and walked to the armchair by the window curling up in it watching him sleep. "You're going to have one hell of a hangover in the morning" he chuckled wryly.

Chan woke up and groaned as he lifted his head from the pillow. He pried open his eyes then shut them again.. something was wrong cause this was definitely not his bedroom.  He opened them slowly and recognised it was one of the guest rooms. Then it hit him. He remembered downing the best part of a bottle of whisky and thinking 3am was a fantastic time to apologise to Felix. He realised he was still fully dressed in yesterday's clothes but would now need to make a second apology. He'd just closed his eyes when the door banged open and in waltzed Minho "Good afternoon boss, how's the head?" he yelled. Chan winced "The fuck d'you mean 'good afternoon'? And don't yell" he croaked out.  "It's 2pm Chan, here's a couple of painkillers and water for that hangover". Chan threw them in his mouth and swallowed half the water "Where's Felix? I should apologise for this".
"He's out. He's meeting Yunho".
"Why didn't you wake me, I should have went with him".
"Because my dear Chan he asked me not to. He had no intentions of taking you along. He took Jeongin.. asked for him specifically.. looks like you might have competition old man" Minho sniggered.

Across the city Felix & Jeongin sat in a high end coffee shop awaiting Yunho's arrival. As was standard his guard Jongho came in to recce the place then Yunho walked in. Felix stood to greet his brother and Yunho wrapped him in a bear hug "It's been too long little brother" . Felix laughed "Hyung it's been 2 weeks as normal".
"Who's this?" Yunho pointed at Jeongin.
"He's a good friend Hyung , we need to speak to you about a delicate matter".
"Work or personal little bird?".
"Work but I don't think this is the right place. We need somewhere private".
"I'll text you an address, be there in an hour" Yunho stood and leaned to kiss Felix on the forehead then walked out.  2 minutes later an address arrived.
Jeongin parked his bike and Felix hopped off the back. The address was a tattoo parlour. Yeosang who's Yunho's right hand stood leaning against the wall "Hey Yongbok, how you been little bird?" He opened his arms and Felix walked into them hugging back "I'm good Sangie, I've missed you though".
"I've missed you too chick. Go right thru the shop to the back, Jongho's thru there". The two youngers walked thru. til they spotted Jongho . "Hey little chickie, he good?".
"He's good, I'll personally vouch for him".
"That's good enough for me. He's in there" he gestured to the door. Felix & Jeongin walked into a small office where Yunho was sat behind the desk.
"What's the secrecy about little bird?".
"Yunho I think there may be an issue pertaining to the family business". Yunho leaned forward his arms on the desk "You'll need your be more specific Yongbok".
"Human trafficking specific enough Hyung?. I've just joined up with a group that are dealing with traffickers in and around our territories. They have intel that led them to the Lee group. I told them Mingi hates this shit but hyung I've seen the evidence".
"Yongbok that's impossible. You know I'd never allow that never mind father".
"I've been asked to extend an invitation to you so you can come and check the intel for yourself and meet the group. Both Woo & I are working with them. I can vouch for them personally".
"Ok Bok if you think it's above board I'll come but a dozen of my best will be with me. How did you meet these people though?". For the first time ever Felix lied to his brother.
"A friend from university in my dance class. They were talking about it passionately and it was something I felt I could help with. They had no idea I was Lee Yongbok until I informed them recently. They're good people hyung". Felix wrote the address and slid the paper over. Yunho promised to  come tonight sometime after 10pm.  Jeongin & Felix climbed back on the bike to make the journey back to the compound.
Felix knocked Chan's office door and entered.  "My brother will be here sometime after 10pm so please tell your crew to behave. Yunho isn't likely to act favourably with anyone acting stupid or perving on Woo or I. We'll lock Jisung out the way in a room or something".
"Understood and thank you". Felix turned to walk away  "Felix .. can we talk please". Felix stood still for a moment. "No, I don't think we should" and he left the office.
Chan banged his head off his desk muttering 'fuck'.  Minho swept into the office "Well did you sort things with him?".
"Nope" he said popping the p "I asked if we could talk and he told me we shouldn't. I've fucked things up before they've even started.. that's a new record even for me" Chan stated before banging his head again.
"For starters you might want to stop banging your head before you kill your last two braincells .. you need them, secondly you're just going to give up? I'd ask if you're dumb but I already said that when I stated you only had two working braincells so...".
"Mean hoe.. I will punt you up that corridor like a rugby ball if you insult me again. As my right hand and unfortunately for me my best friend you're supposed to give me advice not make me feel worse" Chan whinged.
"And for the leader of a big bad gang you're not meant to be a whiney bitch but here we are. Jeongin let me know Felix's brother is coming tonight so we need to get organised" Minho stopped to read a text "Ah Felix has asked me to keep the dumbass ferret away from his brother and for none of us the mention the kidnapping".
"Assign him to babysit Jisung" Chan replied.
"Will do. Right finish up in here then join us for dinner. I'll seat Felix away from you in case you say the wrong thing... again".
