The gambling man : Exo mafia fanfiction

Chapter 41: Linger

Mia sat silently in the dining room, Kyungsoo sat seated to her right while Chen was to her left. The room was in a peaceful silence, the only noise being heard was utensils and the soft barely audible sound of chewing. Only half of Exo sat in the dining room, Suho, Lay and Kai were still out on business. While Sehun and Nari were no where to be found, not like it bothered Mia. She hadn't heard any screaming and didn't feel off in anyway so all was good for now.

However the brunette was pulled from her thoughts when Kyungsoo shot his head up towards the door. Mia instantly glanced in his direction confusion pulling across her own features.

"What's wrong"? The girl asked softly, Chen chuckled from beside her and leaned down close into her ear.

"Listen closely". The playful boy whispered, resulting in Mia to strain her ears. She heard nothing at first, a few bland seconds past until she heard the soft and barely audible sound of footsteps. And before she knew it the dining room doors were being violently thrust open. The sound resonated through the large space, Mia knew who it was with out even having to look up. Sehun stood silently in everyone's wake, Nari carefully tucked behind him, her head was hung low causing her chopped blonde hair to shield her face.

"Wow everything smells lovely". Sehun spoke in a calm voice as he entered the dining room and took his regular seat which was right across from Mia. The brunette eyed the man like a hawk as he slowly pulled his chair back and sat down. Holding his hand out behind himself, the youngest swiped two of his fingers forward motioning Nari to approach him. Instantly the woman shambled to stand behind him at the table. Nari remained silent, her head still hung low but now that she was in the light, Mia began to mentally address her condition.

Nari looked frail, her body swayed slightly even though all she was doing was standing. The blonde woman had no energy left in her, she looked weak and Mia knew that was just what Sehun wanted. Everyone watched the youngest in bitter silence, But Baekhyun took it upon himself to actually comment on it.

"She looks horrible, have you been feeding her"? The man asked sharply from across the table. Sehun slowly looked up in Baekhyuns direction, he paused before replying.

"Should I have"? Sehun asked with a tone what was dripping with sarcasm. Mia gripped onto her knife tightly, but before she could do anything Chen grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand under the table. Mia shot her head in Chens direction and the playful man did the same. Yet this time his face was stern, slowly he shook his head with serious eyes. As if Chen was telling her mentally, 'no'.

"Are you fucking kidding me Sehun". Xiumin shot loudly, the eldest face was contorted filled with a raging fury and annoyance. Earning a loud laugh from Sehun, the youngest threw his head back and held the chuckle before promptly halting. With out breaking eye contact with the Xiumin, Sehun grabbed his plate of food and held it out to Nari. The girl looked up and slowly the smell meeting her nose, the blonde woman perked up. As soon as her eyes met the plate full of food a small smile pulled across her lips. That was all until Sehun dropped the plate purposely, a sad destroyed gasph left Nari's chapped lips while a triumphant smirk pulled into his. Sehun broke his eye contact with the fuming Xiumin, and turned to face Nari.

"Eat it, like the dog you are". Sehun spoke deeply, Mia bit the inside of her cheek and felt Chen tightening his grip on her wrist. Nari slowly began to crouch down hunger taking over her, but in the blink of an eye. Chanyeol thrust up from his chair and pushed the small girl behind his back. Away from the food and away from Sehun, before the youngest could even flinch. The tall man grabbed a fist full of Sehuns hair and slammed his head down into the dining table. The sound of his head meeting the wood loudly echoed through the room. Mia felt her mouth fall open and Chens hand loosen slightly. One strike was all it took to knock the youngest into a state unconsciousness. Chanyeol turned around to face the startled and confused Nari. He smiled tenderly before her spoke to the startled girl before him, letting go of Sehuns hair slowly. Chanyeol fully turned around to face the trembling Nari.
