Boss • l.ty & w.yh

"Why'd you call me this time?" You ask, walking in the room and rolling your eyes at Mark who was fidgeting with his fingers.

It had just been fifteen minutes since  you left his office after he had told you the news about Taeyong when he called for you again.

"I came here to justify myself"

"I'm sorry what?" You shoot Mark this confused look as you slowly take a seat in front of him.

"You said that nothing good will come out of all of this and I know that but do you even know why I want those files?"

You purse your lips. You had never really gotten into a deep conversation with Mark. The most was when you were both on the way home from the party and he said thank you.

After that it was silence  that engulfed the room whenever you two would be around each other.

"Enlighten me"

Mark flashes you a small smile. "Honestly, I have no personal grudge against Taeyong but I think we both know that the files contain government codes, some of which give access to even the most unrechable data and footage"

You simply nod your head and Mark takes this as a sign to continue.

"Well, I need those codes"

"Why?" The atmosphere in the room right now felt suffocating and from the corner of your eye you could see Jeno exit the room.

"To avenge someone" At that statement you notice Mark turn his head to look at the painting on the wall.

'Ah. He's just another average boy who's freedom and happiness has been stripped away by reality'

"You really love her, don't you?" You ask, trying not to look at Mark with pity in your eyes because you know that it's the last thing that he'd want.

"She was our original sniper. I got into some really shady business that I didn't know the government was involved in and well..." Mark trails off as he stares at the ground.

You see drops of liquid fall onto the carpet beneath his feet and the sight makes your heart break. Mark just seemed so vulnerable in front of you right now.

"...she paid the price" He finally finishes, taking a deep breath before looking up and blinking his tears away.

You sigh, slowly approaching the guy and taking a seat beside him, holding his hand in yours and looking him in the eyes.

"I'm really sorry about what happened... but, Mark, you can't just- Taeyong himself never finished reading the files. I know that your heart is only set on revenge right now but once you have power, it's hard to let that go"

Mark looks you in the eyes before shaking your hand off and getting up, scoffing at your words.

"You wouldn't understand"

"I know" You quickly say, getting up as well.

"But I also know that I have a point and even if you think that you have no bad intentions, your thoughts will change when you realize how much you can do with what you have"

Silence fills the air and you clear your throat before deciding to head out.

"But thank you Mark" You mutter as you hold the handle of the double doors.

"Thanks for opening up to me"

~~~~~

"How can I trust you?"

You stop your tracks and glance at the door to your right. You were sure that you just heard Jaemin's voice.

You were being escorted by Jeno from Mark's office and back to your room when you heard the sentence and froze.

"What's wrong y/n?" Jeno asks, stopping his tracks from behind you as well. You just shush him before leaning closer to the door.

"I love her" You hear a deep and raspy voice answer without hesitation. You swore your heart stopped for a moment. You knew that voice too well.

You hear Jaemin scoff from the other side of the door. "If you love her then why are you doing this to her?"

"Jaemin, I think we both know why. I love her but these guys are my family"

Silence fills the air and you try to press yourself even closer to the door, thinking that they were now talking in harsh whispers.

"Something big's about to happen. And before it does, I need to know what side you're on"

Silence fills the air once again and at this point Jeno's trying to drag you away from the door so that you could head to your room but you slap him off.

"I'll always be on her side"

You slowly step away from the door which shocks Jeno. For some reason, everything just stopped for a moment and you took a trip back to all of the memories that you had with Yukhei, bad and good.

Still dazed, you stared at the door for a few moments but soon snapped back to reality upon hearing the sound of the knob twisting.

Your eyes go wide and you quickly grab Jeno by the arm and run back to your room.

"What was that about?"

"I think I just heard something that I shouldn't have heard" you mutter, still letting everything sink in.

Just then, you hear a knock on the door and in come Jaemin and Yukhei.

"Jeno your shift is up" Jaemin says with a smile, turning to face you.

"Let's go Lucas" Jeno says, flashing you an eye smile before grabbing Yukhei by the arm and dragging him out.

As Yukhei gets dragged away, you two lock eyes for a moment but you quickly look away.

"y/n"

Jaemin's voice snaps you back to reality but instead of facing your usual smiley friend, you're faced with a guy who showed a serious facade.

"Shit's about to happen soon so..." He trails off, licking his lips and thinking of the right words to say.

"...just be ready okay?" He ends with worried eyes.

And there it was again. That sick feeling.

~~~~~

"The plan is simple. Get in and get y/n out. " Taeyong says.

Right now, he was standing on the top of the staircase, looking down at all of the men gathered by the entrance and living room of his base as he explained what was about to happen.

Just then, the entrance doors burst open and in comes Chenle. All eyes are on him as he walks in and when he's sure that he's got everyone's attention, he speaks.

"All of the equipment that you asked for is finally here"

"It doesn't mean that you're the son of my business partner, that you have the right to just barge in any time" Taeyong says with an irritated sigh.

Chenle just chooses to ignore Taeyong's statement as he walks up the staircase to hand him the list of the equipment they needed.

As Taeyong checks the list, he speaks to everyone once again.

"It's d-day tomorrow everybody! So get some rest and get ready. All hell's about the break loose"

"I'll remind Jaemin of the meet up spot" Chenle mutters to Taeyong before turning his back on the leader to walk down.

But before Chenle could get far, Taeyong grabs him by the arm.

"If shit happens- Just make sure to get her out of there..." Chenle expects Taeyong's voice to sound strong but all he hears are the pleads of a man.

The man staring at him right now wasn't a leader. It wasn't the top boss in the mafia. It was a man who was simply in love.

"...please"
