after living the mafia lifestyle, you couldn't take it and tried to escape but got in an accident in the making, you've lived the rest of your life independently with your soon to be ex-fiancé, after a tragic accident you come across someone with th...
He didn't say anything, the whole time he was silent, and that showed how concentrated he was
All I did hear was either gunshots or stabbing
I rubbed my hands on my forehead and took the earpiece out before I threw up
Then I let out a sigh, honestly my hard work should've been treated for, I deserve a meal
I turned around and figured I could just walk around for the time being, it's not like security is here
The door opened on its own, I tilted my head, Riki was finished already?
Someone held a gun, definitely shorter than Riki was
I'm fucked
I tried putting my earpiece in, to call for help but he grabbed my neck tight, pushing the gun to my temple
Even if I tried to attack them they just tightened the grip on my neck
I could see my skin turning purple, I tried gasping for air, nothing
The grip loosened, I turned around and saw the attacker on the ground
Someone stabbed the man straight in his neck and pulled out the dagger, his expression hadn't seemed satisfied enough
Riki stared at him for a moment, then shot him directly where his heart was, three times
He pushed his body to the side, and stepped on the stab wound on his neck
I was shook, he was torturing this man before he could call it peace and just die
He turned to me, my body was too weak to move
Instead of grabbing my arm and walking off, he stared at me for a moment, pulling in for a hug, gently
I couldn't process the moment, all I felt were tears touch my nape
My eyes shut as I fainted in his arms, I was struggling to breathe
" Yeri? Yeri?!"
***
I woke up in a hospital bed, feeling stares on me
A nurse came to me, checking if I was fine, then walking out looking for something
What is going on?
Riki entered, worry in his eyes as he ran to me
He didn't say anything at first, instead he just held my hand tight
" Yeri " he softly said, the tone of his voice surprised me
" Hm?" I hummed, my throat aching like crazy
" Don't- don't try scaring me like that again " he spoke, not even meeting eye contact with me
I recalled back my memories of the situation and just smiled at him, " Who was that?"
" No idea, but he's dead now " he stroked his hand through my hair
I grunted, sitting up straight
" Why did I let you come with me " he murmured
" Are you seriously blaming yourself right now? You saved my life-"
" Yeri, you would've died if it weren't for me. Also I warned you too, didn't you listen?"
" Uh, I may have taken off the earpiece because the gunshots were distracting " I mumbled at the end of my sentence, he let out a sigh
" You know you should never, and I mean never take out your earpiece"
The nurse came back in, " She should stay for the night, then we can discharge her. If you hadn't helped her so soon, things could've taken a turn "she said to Riki as he just nod
" Luckily she fainted most likely to stress, I suggest you let her rest for around a week "
" I'm going to sleep then" I layed back down, closing my eyes shut
THE NEXT MORNING
I woke up, keeping my eyes shut because of how bright the window shone
It felt like as if there was hair on my arm, I grabbed my ponytail to the opposite side, but there was no difference at all
I turned my head, staring at Riki's head, what do I do in this moment? No idea
He squinted his eyes, then opened them, looking directly into my eyes before I looked away
He grunted, then sat back up straight
" Should we go home then?" He brought up, avoiding eye contact with me
***
The ride back home was awkward, we didn't say anything, and it was Riki driving too so the chauffeur wouldn't do his usual thing where he starts a conversation
Someone called him, he answered with his car
" Hey Riki " was said in a low, pissed off tone
" It's Ni-ki to you Jaeyun " he nonchalantly replied back and all was heard was a scoff
" I'd prefer to be called Jake " the two just kept bickering about what they should call eachother and eventually gave up
" Anyway, what do you mean by not wanting to be part of the mafia? I know you never wanted this but you're parents-"
" Jake, ever since my parents died, I promised to get rid of who had done it, then leave completely. It's been the same thought for the past 8 years"
" Also you quit too, why can't I?" he spoke again
