Risk

P R O L O G U E

His eyes were steady and strong.

He looked absolutely untouchable.

A perfect bead of sweat ran down his forhead, condensating before it could reach his cheek. The tension was so high you could cut it with a kinfe. Your heart begins to beat faster when he finally turns his head to the side to gaze into your eyes, he grabs your hands swiftly and doesn't let go. You wish you could ask him if everything was gonna be okay, but you were terrified; so you just sat there and cursed at yourself.

He kept stealing glances at you, you blushed so much you thought you were going to explode. Peeking glances round the corner he told you to stop because it was too dangerous for you to do that. You had gotten nowhere. The two of you were stuck in the backstreets of seoul, nightfall approaching very soon, you knew that your grandmother was gonna kill you for being home so late.

Grabbing his hand that he had slowly stopped holding, you catch his attention.

"Jin what's going on, you've said nothing this past half an hour. I really need to get home, my grandma will kill me if-" He cuts you off by putting his hand over your mouth, indicating for you to be quiet. Your pulse being raised at the alarming sound of footsteps.

"I need you to trust me okay?" His eyes gleaming, but they were so dark and filled with nothing you had seen from Jin fully.

His survival mode was now on.

Was it to protect you or his family, those six other boys who would die any day for each other?

"Let's go, don't make a sound if we get caught just follow my lead. Wear your blazer too, it'll be cold." You couldn't even reply until he pulled you out of the corner running to the nearest main roads, dashing for any sign of light.

Every two minutes he would stand and listen and scout the area before carrying on, you were still struggling to put on your blazer. Before you knew it you were pulled back into the darkness of the backstreets again. The space being so tight you barely fit the both of you into it, chest against chest; but you made it work for the sake of you making it home tonight. And you were now sure that there is a possibility that, that won't happen.

Jin's face close to yours. "What's happening, why did you pull us back here, we-" he cut you off in a heart beat, grabbing your blazer he presses lips against yours.

You were kissing Kim SeokJin. You, Kim Sohee and Kim SeokJin?

Shutting your eyes, leaving the alley way silent

A huge gang surfaced the backstreets of Seoul, peeking in at you two, Jin intensifying the kiss, not caring about the gang right there. His left hand had moved to hold your face and his right from your waist to his right side.

"Aish these kids these days!" They threw something at us and walked away. As soon as they had left, Jin pulled away and appologised.

"I'm so so sorry, I had to find a way of them not knowing who I am. I hope I haven't broken your trust as much as I have broken your shirt. Aha let me get you one at my house, it isn't too far and I'm sure your grandma would think of something different if you came home like that." He blushed and looked down at the floor, not even glancing at your eyes because he respected you and didn't want to look where his eyes weren't wanted.

Swiftly, he pulls off his blazer and covers your chest guiding you to his car. You got in and you drove to his house. Well, actually it was an apartment, but a very empty one at this rate. It was barely furnished but looked like it had been lived in for at least a whole chilldhood. He grabs a shirt and tosses it to you, in less than ten minutes you were out the door again; knowing that you had a curfew and you had to make it back before 10 pm. It was 9:52 pm.

With three minutes to spare and a possible speeding fine he gets out of the car and walks you up your driveway, to your door. "I had an amazing time, Sohee. I'm sorry things turned out this way tonight, can I make it up to you?" He wiced and made a shy smile at you making your insides shudder with butterflies.

"It's fine Jin, but I really have to go..." his angel wings tattoo peeking out, he's full of mysteries.

"Oh yes okay, but um one more thing. Well since you're not dating anyone, I was wondering if well-" he was blushing again, but you were thriving for it. "Well I was wondering if you'd like to go on a proper date, or something like that."

"Aha you're cute, sure I'd love to!" With that you gave him a quick peck on the cheek and barged through your front door and ran up to your bed room. Flinging yourself onto your bed like one of the pieces of clothing in the sea of chaotic clothing consuming the floor, You were finally able to catch your breath.

After today you really saw a new perspective of life to take risks and to put trust into good people. You realised that not everything is as it seems up close, nothing really is. But you also realised that getting involved with Jin was a risk.

But is he a risk that is willing to take?
