it indeed will be a long night, thought baekhyun looking at all the faces that he despised so much, but it was his job after all to walk into this place and make them all go in awe. he is the most powerful man in the country for now and no one will think otherwise. everyone knew what he was and what he did but no one dared to say anything to the police even though they were searching for him like crazy.

'come on hyung, just go play a little bit, you will win for sure. this is all just a little game for you' jongdae said, while smirking. baekhyun didn't feel like saying anything. he just walked to one of the empty poker tables and waited for the people to walk over and start playing. busan was his first target and people were already suspecting of him being here, but no one had the guts to say a thing. they were scared of him, his power and - sure - of his members.

baekhyun played with the money in his one hand and champagne in the other. no one came, yet all of them stood on the side and stared at him in fear. baekhyun smirked, enjoying every single moment of it.

'so, no one is going to walk over here and play?'

the way he said it sent shivers down everyones spines.

-

jihee felt shivers go down her spine from the cold air that was coming from the open window beside her. 'ji, look at that' seungchol pointed at a man sitting alone at the poker table. 'oh shit, i think that's byun baekhyun' seungchol said, fear laced with her words.

'who?'

jihee tilted her head in confusion. seungchol turned around harshly and glared at her. 'you really don't know who byun baekhyun is?' she whispered-yelled at her. 'and you call yourself a south korean? i mean still it's good that you don't know who he is but - whatever - it's kind of something that everyone knows.'

'so? who is he then? tell me?'

'he is the most famous gang leader in whole south korea, he gambles a lot and he visits every town in korea to escape from the police who are desperately searching for him. you must obey him or he kills. he literally has no mercy it's crazy. he has his own gang called exo or something and they are really dangerous. the whole country fears him.'

'oh' was all jihee could muster up to say. panic rose in her body as she started to process what her best friend said. she couldn't believe that she was in the same room with a gang leader and a possible murderer.

seungchol noticed her panic state and tried to calm her down 'ji, calm down. just.. stay with me and everything will be alright. nothing will happen. i promise'

'can't we just call the police?'

'no, no and no. absolutely no.'

'why?'

'do you really want to get killed?' seungchol spat at her. 'he knows everyone and everything, he gets information from someone around us that's why he is always on the run. whenever someone calls the police, they come but he has already fled into another city.'

'what happens with the person who called them?'

'what do you think?'

jihee shivered again, she already knew the answer.

'they get killed' seungchol added calmly.

'how do you know all of this information?' jihee felt confused as to why her best friend knew so much.

'i-' she couldn't even finish the sentence when they heard a voice saying

'so, no one is going to walk over here and play?'

they both looked at the person who said that and just stared at him. while they were staring at him, her eyes locked with his and her breath hitched.
