One month later -

Mingyu walks into the dimly lit club, scanning the room until his gaze lands on Y/n sitting alone at the bar, sipping on a drink. He saunters over, his long strides eating up the distance, a slow, calculating smile spreading across his face as he slides onto the stool beside her. "Well, Look what we have here. The happy newlywed, all alone and unattended."

Y/n flinches at his sudden presence beside her. "You scared me!" She puts a hand over her racing heart. Mingyu chuckles and signals the bartender for a whiskey, his elbow brushing against Y/n's as he waits for his drink to arrive.

Y/n calms down. "How do you always find me everywhere?" She whines. Mingyu takes a sip of his whiskey. "I have my ways. You know I always keep tabs on my favorite people." He leans in closer, his warm breath dancing along the curve of her ear. "And you, sweetheart, are definitely one of them."

Y/n sighs and pushes her stool away from him. "What do you want now?"

Mingyu raises an eyebrow at her actions, his lips curling into a sly smile. "Now, now, Y/n. Don't be so hostile. I'm just trying to make conversation." He picks up his glass, swirling the amber liquid inside. "Although, if you insist on knowing...I did receive some interesting information recently." He pauses, taking a slow sip, his gaze locked onto hers. "It seems your precious Wonwoo has a few secrets of his own. Secrets that could potentially ruin his squeaky-clean reputation in front of your parents and friends."

Y/n looks over at him curiously with a hit of nervousness in her eyes. "W-what do you mean? What secrets?" She puts her drink down on the counter.

Mingyu laughs, a low, throaty sound. "Oh, Y/n. You really are adorable when you're nervous. Let's just say that Wonwoo has a certain...fascination with the underground fight clubs. The ones where they don't play by the rules. And I happen to have connections that can dig up all sorts of dirt on him. So, the question is...are you ready to make a deal, Y/n? Are you willing to trade favors and secrets to protect your beloved husband's reputation?"

Y/n gulps, already aware of Wonwoo's extracurricular activities, the only thing that scared her was, Wonwoo has a clean reputation in front of her parents, friends and even his parents, friends and colleagues. She is the only one who knew about the things he does. Something that scared her more was the fact that underground fight clubs are illegal where they lived, so if that secret gets out, she's damn sure he would be fired from his dream job, she doesn't want to betray him after he trusted her with his secrets. "I- ok, first of all what favors?" She pulls herself together and asks the first question on her mind.

Mingyu chuckles. "Oh, darling, I want something much more precious than just favors." He pauses, his gaze roaming over her face. "I want you. Specifically, I want one night with you. No strings attached, no expectations. Just us." His voice drops to a whisper. "And after that, we'll discuss the terms of our little agreement."

Y/n bites her lips and looks away, contemplating his request. "Will you keep everything a secret then?" She fiddles with her fingers on her lap, the sound of her picking her nail, muffled by the loud music and commotion in the club.

Mingyu laughs, the sound cold and mirthless. "Secrets, Y/n, are currency in our game. And I'm always happy to collect more." He leans forward once more, his face inches from hers. "But don't worry, sweet one. Your precious secrets are safe with me." He winks, a slow, deliberate movement of his eyelid. "After all, I have far more to gain from keeping your secrets than from spilling them." He pauses, his gaze drifting down to her lips.

He pushes his chair back, standing up in one fluid motion. "Now, shall we discuss the details of our little arrangement?" He holds out his hand, expecting her to take it. "I have a feeling we can come to a mutually beneficial agreement." His smile grows wider when she takes his hand, standing up beside him.

"Sure." She nods, grabbing her purse from the counter. "Excellent choice, Y/n." He pulls her close, his body inches from hers. "Let's go somewhere a bit more private to finalize the details. My car is waiting outside. We can discuss everything on the way." He leads her through the crowds, his grip on her hand unyielding. "Where's your husband? It's not normal for you to come to clubs."

"He had a night shift at the hospital today and i was bored at home, so i sneaked out." She speaks loudly over the music and they soon exit the club.

Mingyu opens the door of his sleek black sports car, gesturing for her to get in. "After you, my dear." He waits for her to slide into the passenger seat before closing the door behind her and circling the car to get in the driver's seat.

"Where are we going?" Y/n wears her seat belt, settling into the comfortable leather. Mingyu starts the engine, the car purring to life beneath them. "Well, we're going to my penthouse. One night with me there, hmm?" He glances over at her, a flash of excitement dancing in his eyes. "I promise you, it will be worth it. In return, I expect complete discretion about our little arrangement. Can't have anyone finding out about our activities, can we?" He smirks.

Y/n takes a deep breath, her mind racing with thoughts of Wonwoo and contemplating if to back out from the deal before it gets worse. "I can't Min, i have a husband now and I'm not like you going around cheating when you're married."

Mingyu laughs, the sound cold and mirthless. "Oh, spare me the moral lecture, Y/n. You think you're so innocent, don't you?" He tightens his grip on the steering wheel, his knuckles white. "You did exactly the same thing I did - you married someone else to get back at me. Don't pretend like you're better than me. And as for your husband...let's just say I'm willing to make it worth your while to ignore him for one night."
