MYNAME I'm Sorry fanfic

008

The next morning Seyong woke up dreading his little meeting with the "boss". He quietly got dressed and snuck out the door, leaving Gunwoo still asleep on the couch with his snores echoing through the house. As he locked the door behind him Mrs. Kim walked out her door with her watering can. 

"Son, maybe you can talk to the other one about not banging on your door late at night. He came through late last night being rambunctious as usual and woke me up," she complained at him as she tended with her flowers. Usually Seyong would humor the little old lady so she wouldn't scold him needlessly, but today he was trying to buy time before having to go to his new terrifying job.

"Oh, Mrs. Kim, Do you mean Gunwoo? But he came home at 7 last night. That's not that late, really," he politely argued with her. She glared at him, clearly not appreciating him talking back to her instead of quietly agreeing as he normally would.  She clicked her tongue before responding.

"Yea, well not all of us are young and we need to go to bed at decent time."

"Your'e right Mrs. Kim. I'll talk to him about it. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go to work now." Seyong quickly grew bored of the nice little chit chat and decided maybe it was better to just walk really slowly if he was going to prolong his journey.

He slowly sauntered down the stair cases, with the excuse of not wanting to get sweaty before meeting his new boss. He knew he would already be sweating from being nervous, no need to add physical excursion to it. As he was exiting the apartment building he checked his watch, and it read half past eleven. Unfortunately if he was going to make it to 2nd street on the other side of the city he was going to have to stop procrastinating and start power walking.  

So much for not working up a sweat.

He ended up half power walking half running down the sidewalks towards his destination. Earning many dirty looks and shout from strangers, as he yelled apologies back to people he almost bumped into. 

He finally made it to the restaurant he was told to come to. when he walked through the door Mr. Oh was there waiting for him. 

"Ah, just on time Seyong," Seyong glanced at the clock on the wall; 11:57, "Follow me to the back," he said as he turned and started walking, not waiting to see if Seyong actually followed.

Seyong took this moment were the man's back was turned to try to compose himself. He swept his slightly damp hair back into place, relaxed his facial expression into a calm one, but there was nothing he could do right now about his faint pit sweat starting to form inside his suit jacket. 

He was led into a room in the back of the restaurant where a couple men were already lined up. All of the men in the line were all bruised up with fresh looking cuts on their faces, standing straight up with their hands behind their backs. Seyong didn't need to be told to join them. He walked to the end of the line and matched their stance. 

Almost as soon as Seyong fell into line, another man in an even more expensive looking suit walked in. Seyong could tell this was the boss from the way everyone in the room had their breath upon his arrival.

"There were three of you, and only one of him. Now unless he was Iron Man, I cannot think of a single reason why you could not take care of him like I asked you to." As he started walking past the men in line, he hit each one in the shoulder; hard. "I gave you all one job, a simple job, heck it could probably even be considered easy. You had one guy to handle. And you have all disappointed me." He stopped at Seyong, who had braced himself to get punched like the other guys.

"I've never seen you before," He looked Seyong up and down, analyzing everything about him. "Seyong, isn't it?"

"Yes, sir. And I will complete any task given to me." Maybe it was his fear that made him suddenly willing to commit to this scary job. It probably was, this man had a very scary vibe about him, and Seyong mostly just want him to stop staring at him. 

"Well, if that's true, then you'll like it a lot around here. And if you do well, then we'll enjoy having you around aswell." The man grasped the back of Seyong's neck. It was probably supposed to be a partially reassuring gesture, but still intimidating because it made Seyong choke on his own spit in his fright. He tried to subtly gulp his little choking fit down, but the shine in the man's eyes showed that he noticed the effect his attention had on the young boy. 

Mr. Oh cleared his throat, causing the man to turn around to face him. Seyong's shoulders instantly slumped after the man let go of him. 

"Mr. Kim please do not forget we have the workers coming through tonight."

Mr. Kim, Seyong now knows his name is, spun back around to face him again.

"Seyong! Be here tonight for your first job. We have some valet workers I will need you to keep in line while an event takes place inside the restaurant. Arrive exactly at 7:30, the event will begin at 8 o'clock sharp."

"Yes, sir" 

"The rest of you follow me. We are going to discuss your lack of understanding yesterday." 

And with that all the men left out the back door leaving Seyong in the back room to wonder what he had gotten himself into.
