Chapter 42: Cherry Bomb

Mia stopped in front of the abstract looking club, in swirling neon tubing a red sign was fixed above the door.

127 was what it read, glowing red and casting the street in a hazy crimson glow. The brunette felt her nerves rising throughout her body. Classy looking people stood around the clubs exterior, the smell of cigarettes and expensive cologne laced in the air. She felt hungry gazes on her but the young girl chose to ignore them. Swallowing gingerly, Mia was pulled from her thoughts by the sound of someone clearing their throat beside her. Turning to her side there stood Kai and Lay, a clutch purse with a silver chain was in Kai's hand. Lay offered her a slight smile as the blonde man beside her offered her the bag.

"Almost forgot your purse". The man spoke, Mia took the bag and sling it across her shoulder. She felt the weight of the bag on her shoulder and instantly Mia knew what was hidden in the clutch. Casing a knowing glance up to the two men before her Mia raised an eyebrow to them.

"Insurance, we know this deal is going to be okay. But some people don't want our gangs to form an alliance". Lay began, Mia felt her stomach drop suddenly. She was assured the tonight wasn't going to be dangerous, and now Lay was contradicting that.

"That's comforting". Mia spoke sarcastically as she adjusted the weight of the bag over her shoulder numbly.

"Don't worry about that Mia, we won't let anything like that happen". Kai assured with a gently smile, the girl couldn't help but to smile back in response.

"Now before we go in, Suho wanted me to tell you something's". Lay began the brunette felt her eyes creeping over to the leader. He stood with Xiumin and Chen, a cigarette between his lips and his silver zippo lighter in his hand. Mia heard the soft flicking of the opening and closing of his lighter.

"Mia". Lay called again attempting to get the girls attention, Mia looked up into Lays coffee coloured eyes. Nodding quickly the girl focused on the man before her.

"Stay with us at all times unless instructed otherwise, and don't say anything unless spoken to". Lay instructed, Mia nodded with a slight roll of her eyes.

"Yes Lay". Mia replied softly, Lay nodded with a soft smile as Suho suddenly called out to Lay pulling the three from their conversation.

All turned to face the leader, his threatening aura seeping through the street like ink to paper. Everyone watched the group as the slowly assembled together. Mia was tucked in the middle, in front of Kai with Lay lagging behind. The group entered the club in silence, it was like a scene from an action movie. The group in slow motion entering the busy club, their aura masking the loud music and causing the club to split like the Red Sea. As the crowd split a man was revealed to the group standing smugly in a suit his hands shoved in his pockets. Suho approached the man, they exchanged a few brief words before they suddenly were following the man upstairs to a conference room.

There were five empty chairs seated across from Nct, smoothly Suho took his seat in the centre. Xiumin sat down to the right of Suho, it was like an indication to the opposing gang. This here is my right hand, second in command. Lay silently sat on Suhos left side, he sat calm and collected a stoic but angelic look on his face. Beside Lay sat Kyungsoo, and on the other side beside Xiumin sat Chen, a cat like smirk was plastered on his face.

That left the other five of them to hang behind closest to the door, Mia stood silently between Kai and Baekyun. Chanyeol and Sehun stood on the other side of Kai, no one spoke after everyone got seated. Mia took this time to observe the group across from them, there was nine of them. In the centre of the group sat a stoic looking man, his hair dyed a gentle pink. His eyes were dark like Kai's, the same onyx colour they lingered with trauma but that was hidden by a cold exterior. Mia scanned the rows finally her eyes landed on Johnny he met her gaze instantly and flashed her a cool smile that she returned warmly.
