SkyDive (Kim Himchan)

Part 5

She stared at her plate, in shock of his proposal. Still processing it in her mind.

 "I think you broke her, boss." Junhong said, laughing. Himchan frowned at Hayan's reaction, he wanted her to be happier at his proposal. Then again he couldn't place himself in her shoes.

Hayan finally found the courage and looked up into Himchan's eyes. "Move in with you? Why, you're a criminal. A highly wanted criminal. Yet you want to help me." She said and Himchan smiled slightly. "You're right, I am a criminal and I thought about this from a criminal strategic stand point. If you move in with me there will be benefits. The police would stay off of my ass, think I found someone to settle down with. They'll leave me alone and I can do my business. The benefits for you will be a little more fun.  A nice roof over your head, constant financial support, protection and most importantly a family. All you have to do is say yes." He was selling it and selling it well. It made sense in Hayan's mind, which was odd. She should have been skeptical and she knew that.

"Hypothetically speaking, if I said yes, would I have to return the money you already gave me?" She asked and the men chuckled. "If I say no to your hypothetical question, will you say yes to mine?" Himchan said, smirking and placing his elbows on the table.

She shouldn't say it, she should get up and run. Stuff like this was dangerous. The look Kim Himchan was giving her was dangerous. But it would've been nice to not have to worry about paying rent for a change, or worrying about eating. Hayan never had nice things, she never needed them. Yet she did have wants and this was a way to recieve them. She must've been out of her damn mind. 

"I'll do it under one condition. I don't have to get involved in anything you're involved in, unless I say so myself. With other words, no more persusian."She spoke and watched Junhong smile from ear to ear. "You got yourself a deal. We'll disscuss the details later, let's just enjoy breakfast." He shook her hand and took a bite of toast, smirking. 

"Welcome to the family. I'm excited, we've never really had a girl around here before." Junhong said, sipping orange juice. "I foind that hard to believe. You guys are decently attractive, does anyone in the team have a girlfriend, wife or boyfriend? I don't Judge." She asked and Junhong blushed. For being in a gang he was so innocent. "It's hard finding someone willing to deal with all of this and keeping it a secret is evene worse. It's better to just stay out of it all."Yongguk answered and she nodded. Hayan understood it, in a sense. She knew what it was like to not have anyone in that way, she also knew it could get pretty lonely. 

It made her wonder if Himchan was lonely, maybe that was another reason he was taking care of her. She looked at him, eating and reading something on his Phone. He really was a handsome man. But that made him even more interesting and dangerous. He looked up and their eyes met for a moment. His eyes were warm, happy, maybe even slightly intoxicating. She looked away before she could be drawn in more.

Breakfast ended and everyone stood up. "Yongguk and I have work to do, we're going to go. Himchan said he'd take you home." Junhong said, beaming at Hayan. "Alright  June, do you mind if I call you that?" She asked and he chuckled. "I like that, noona." He said and pulled a cringing Hayan in to a hug. "I don't like that, don't call me noona. It makes me feel weirdly old." She said against his chest making him laugh again. "Welcome to the family." He said and walked away with Yongguk who waved. 

Hayan watched them leave and Himchan watched her before placing his hand on her shoulder lightly. She turned to face him with a half smile. "I think Junhong has a crush on you. Or he just really likes you, I can't tell." He stated and Hayan laughed. "Well he's seen me half naked, must be that." She joked and he looked at the ground. "Yeah, I'm really sorry about that. But now that you'll live here, you don't have to worry about that. I have a knock first rule." He said as he guided her up the stairs, back into the house. 

She examined her new home. It was quite modern, with sleek black and white finsihes and 3 stories tall. "Wow." She whispered to herself in disbelief. Her whole apartment was probably the about the size of a bathroom here. 

"Do you like it?" Himchan asked as he guided her through the house. "This place is amazing."She said and looked over to him. He was smiling which somehow made him even more attractive. She shouldn't have been thinking like that either. Romance between housemates only ever ends in tears.

"When would you prefer to move? I don't want to rush you, I know it's not an easy thing." Himchan was smiling as he spoke and it was a comfort. "Actually you timed this really well. I need to pay rent at the end of the week. But you probably already knew that."She said with a laugh. "You say it like I'm some sort of creep." He joked and swore he fell in love with her laugh. 

To be honest, Himchan didn't think she'd say yes. She seemed headstrong, which must've meant she was desperate for someone. Which Himchan understood. His work wasn't exactly inviting and close friends were a dime a dozen. He didn't knew why he was so kind to her. Maybe it was her background or maybe it was the way she looked at him, like a deer in the headlights. He met her two days ago and she already had a hold on him, she just didn't know it.
