THE MAFIA BORN BRAT

18

Felix stuck to his word and kept away from Chan. If Yunho & Minho mentioned him he'd leave the room. He exchanged simple texts with the crew and threw himself into university life. He offered himself up for translation services for foreign students or visitors. He wasn't joking when he said he spoke 8 languages. There isn't a lot to do when you're the hidden away gay child of a mafia kingpin so you study & learn. He'd see the others in dance class and that was it. He stopped dressing androgynously, stopped shopping. He lived in hoodies & sweats or jeans. Yunho almost pulled a gun on him one day when he came home with short hair as he didn't recognise him. His hair which he'd had long for 9 years gone on a whim. He was asked on dates and turned them down. He went to uni and home again and that was his life. At weekends he practiced constantly in the studio Yunho had hastily built. One day he walked in on Yeosang & Yunho discussing how the female who'd S/A'd Chan couldn't be found. There was no footage of Chan entering the hotel. They'd stopped the minute they'd seen him.
"You can carry on, it's not my issue so I'm not listening. I can do my homework elsewhere" he said calmly.
Mingi phoned asking him to go out to diner with him and the crew minus Chan and he turned him down so Mingi asked if just the two of them could go and he accepted. Dinner was a lot of fun, Felix was beginning to realise just how much Mingi's father and smothered his real personality. His dad was funny and very warm. They had a real in-depth conversation on how Mingi had been jealous to a degree that Felix wouldn't break and stayed true to himself with Mingi saying he wished he'd done that. Felix told him had he had Mingi's father he'd have broken too. Both cried and hugged.

Chan spent a few weeks angry at Felix for actually leaving, he'd expected him to just take it. Then he ripped the head off Jisung for having shitty parents that hurt Felix  so that caused a fight with Minho who informed him he hurt Felix frequently . The crew avoided him unless it was for work. He was angry at his crew especially Hongjoong for not being able to find anything. He'd badger Mingi about Felix til Mingi actually told him he was helping out of respect for rescuing Felix but if he mentioned his son one more time Mingi would shoot him in the face. It hit him at 3am one morning exactly what he'd said to Felix and he did not blame him for walking, he'd literally told a sex trafficking victim it was their own fault then told him sleeping with him was disgusting. That was a sickening thing to do. He threw himself into exercising and spending hours pouring over the intel they had trying to find something.

Felix was finishing his cool down stretching when Woo approached him. "Lix, this is silly. I get your done with 'him' but you've pushed us all away and to be fair Jisung & I haven't been exactly there for you. Let's go get a drink together after class and talk. Oh and I hate your hair.. I miss it being long".
"Woo, to be honest the minute you and Jisung met San & Minho you pushed me away. I still made time for you when I was with him. I don't want to be involved in anything to do with them. I want no reminders of that man. I'll have a drink with you but if you bring any of them up I'm gone".
Woo nodded. They'd gone just the two of them to a cute little place just opened up in the mall near the university. They chatted about general topics and Felix was mid Sentence when he suddenly stopped. At a table down and slightly to the side of them sat 'The female'. He knew it was her, that side profile was forever burned in his memory. In order to not have Woo yell out he sent him a text explaining and asked him not to yell out. He told him to text the crew and say he'd found her. Woo nodded. She got up to leave and Felix got up "See you around"
He said casually to Woo while texting 'I'll follow her and let you know where she goes. The crew can get her'. She looked in a few shop windows like she was killing time then went into a salon. Felix assumed she was a client until she came thru from the back of the salon wearing the same lilac tunic as the other staff. He texted Woo then hung back in the shadows watching. Hyunjin, Seonghwa & and flustered Hongjoong turned up. Seonghwa said something to him and practically pushed him thru the salon door. He came out 2 hours later with green hair  and a very red face and was clutching a bit of paper which judging by the way Hyunjin & Seonghwa were laughing was someone's phone number. Felix went home. A few hours later he overheard Yunho tell Yeosang they'd got the bitch and Chan had borrowed a couple of Yunho's female soldiers to carry out the interrogation. Felix went to bed glad he'd done his bit and that now Chan would be out of their lives forever hopefully.

Jenny & Lisa prowled round the female who was cuffed to a chair. The female sat with her head hung low. The males hadn't hurt her but she knew these females would. To be honest she regretted doing this from the start but they'd needed the money to pay off loan sharks.
"Jen.. do you smell bitch in here cause I do".
"Why yes Lis I do indeed smell bitch .. might be dead bitch smell soon but you know .. whatever". Lisa grabbed her hair pulling her head back sharply.
"Do you know why you're here?"
"I do" She muttered.
"Then you know what the outcome is. Did you enjoy drugging and raping him? Was there a reason you chose him or was it random?" Lisa asked.
"You have two choices.. tell us the truth and die quickly or we can torture it out of you. Everytime you get close to death a doc while come in and treat you then we start again... it's your choice really" Jenny stated plainly.
The blonde knew she'd die either way. She'd take the quick route but she was worried about leaving her sister.
"If I tell you the everything can you ensure my little sister's safety? If that bitch finds out I've told she'll hurt her" . Lisa looked to Jenny who was wearing an earpiece listening to Mingi's orders.
"Yes, we will keep her safe. We need her name and address. She'll be relocated to a safe house". The blonde  breathed a sigh of relief.
"My father's a gambler. He'd borrowed 2000 dollars from a loan shark but made no repayments. They came to the house when my sister was only demanding 10000 dollars back otherwise she'd be passed around the gang then have her face cut as a warning. She called me at work hysterical. A client had taken the wrong turn at work and had overheard the conversation. She said she'd help me if I did a little job for her at the Steorra Hotel at 6am the coming Saturday. I said yes. She took my number. On her Friday evening she text telling me to be there at 6am and to go to room 147. When I arrived she told me to go to room 342, there would be a naked guy in the bed knocked out. I was to strip and get in beside him and make it look intimate. I was to take it and send it to a number she gave me. If I could do it from his phone that would be even better. I was to then run the shower and hide in the bathroom checking periodically if he was awake. When he did wake to act like he'd picked me up and we'd had sex then I was to leave. As soon as it was done I was to report to a maid who was milling around the floor and she'd pay me. I did and she handed me a bag with the cash and I left".
"Ok, so explain the condom? Was it there or.. ?"
"No, she gave me it to put there. I said no because I was disgusted but she told me it was just cornstarch and a little water. I swear I did nothing sexual to the man, I'm a lesbian".
"So who is she?".
"She's a foreigner. She goes by Anna. She's been to the salon a few times before. She said she's Austrian or maybe it was Australian .. definitely one of the two". Judging by the look on Jenny's face Mingi had lost his shit.
"Ok, we'll be back. Your sister is in the next cell. She's not cuffed or anything though. We told her she's here on your say so for her safety.
"Thank you" was all the blonde could say. Jenny & Lisa were put on standby and went to the kitchen for some lunch. Mingi, Minho & Chan were all in the office having heard every word.
"Why'd you not tell us Chan" Minho asked gently.
"Would you admit to having been raped Minho? Well would you?".
"Is this why Felix left?".
"Felix left because I lashed out and told him he was pathetic for being almost sex trafficked and that I wasn't really gay. I deserved him leaving".
Mingi interceded "Chan do you know this woman?".
"No, I don't"
"Could your family in Australia know her?" Minho questioned.
"Possibly, they run my businesses over there so if it's related to that they'd know".
"Did your parents know about Felix?".
"Yes, they're very open minded. They gave no fucks to the fact I'd fallen for and wanted to marry a man". Minho looked stunned while Minho did not.

Chan phoned home and to his anger found out a 'competitor' had indeed approached Chan's father for a potential arranged marriage stating if Chan married his daughter Anna the companies could merge and be unbeatable. Chan's dad had turned him down stating he'd no plans to arrange Chan's marriage and that chan had chosen his own love match which the family were pleased with.  This however did not please Mr Kang. Chan's dad hadn't mentioned it as he'd deemed it unimportant. That was 6 weeks ago. Chan relayed the info back to Mingi & Minho who then informed the hacker. Hongjoong had her tracked to the penthouse suite at the Steorra Hotel in minutes, she'd been there 5 weeks. Mingi gave the order to bring her in and Minho went off to coordinate grabbing her with the crew.
