Boss • l.ty & w.yh

27

"Well, lets start with an introduction. Hi! I'm Mark Lee!" The boy in front of you says, fidgeting with his fingers.

You arch a brow at him.

"Well, why don't you have a seat first, this meeting will be kind of long!" Mark says in a casual manner, gesturing towards the couch in the middle of his office

This was Taeyong's rival?

He seemed just about your age and had a completely different vibe from what a mafia boss  should be like.

Despite his odd personality, you decide not to make any smart remarks or stupid comments though and obediently sit down, still trying to understand Mark's character.

You also look around the room to see stained windows, only one door which was the entrance and exit, a giant painting of a girl who also seemed your age and Yukhei and another guy who were guarding the door.

You lock eyes with Yukhei for a moment but he looks away, making you scoff and roll your eyes at him.

"So..uh...Now that you're here! Do you know where Taeyong keeps the files?" Mark asks awkwardly, arms resting on his knees as he continued to fiddle with his fingers.

"OH! Do you want anything by the way? Coffee? Icedtea? Uh..."

"-What about freedom?" You ask sassily. But right after the words slip your mouth, you bite your bottom lip, instantly regretting what you just said and cursing at yourself for not being able to hold back your stupid tongue.

Mark goes silent, his head hung low. At  this point, you can't really read his expression but when you hear him sigh, the atmosphere of the room suddenly turns cold.

When he looks up again and looks you in the eyes, you instantly freeze.

His awkward and shy personality is gone and is replaced by a piercing gaze. And you want to look away, feeling intimidated by his gaze but a part of you just can't.

How quickly his personality changed reminded you of how quickly Taeyong could change from flirty to a gang leader in seconds and it scared you.

You purse your lips before blinking and finally being able to look away.

And Mark sighs once again before leaning back on his chair and looking at anything  but you.

"I have a feeling that you won't give me the information that I want no matter what I do, am I right?" Mark suddenly mutters, breaking the suffocating silence in the room.

"You're damn right I won't!"

You try to say it with conviction but it comes out as a whisper, making you mentally curse at yourself once again.

Mark just chuckles at your weak attempt to sound strong before he gets up and ruffles your hair.

"Well it's fine! That's why I have a Plan B!" He says, heading over to his mini fridge and getting a can of coffee.

"And what's plan B?" You ask. Once you've realized what you just asked you mentally face palm yourself. Of course he wouldn't answer yo-

"Plan B is tell Taeyong that you're here and use you as a hostage to get the files!"

Your train of thoughts were cut off by Mark's voice as he walks back to you with a can of coffee.

"Yukhei said you liked coffee" He says with a smile, handing you the can before sitting back down.

You glance at the said guy whose cheeks are red and eyes are wide for a moment before he blinks his shock away and stares ahead, not making eye contact with you.
