falling in love is not for gang members, especially not the leader. love is a weakness. the strongest one there could be, and jeongguk does not plan on showing any of it. you know what they say though, not everything goes as planned.

irene grabs her white purse from the night stand and heads out the door. the guys were at a meeting and they weren't going to be back for another hour or so. she needed to pick up a few documents from the law firm and then she'd call seulgi, so the two can catch up with some lunch.
she passes yerim's room, but walks back when she hears the young girl's cries. it was muffled, however, the pain behind the crying was too heartbreaking.
the older woman takes the key from her purse out and quietly unlocks the door. she's met with yerim's small body curled up on the bed with the covers covering her completely.
"hi, yerim. im irene, and i know the last thing you want is a visitor who can't grant you freedom. if im being completely honest i don't exactly know why guk has you here, but trust me when i tell you he will not hurt you." she sees no movement from yerim, so she sighs. maybe interrupting the girl while she cried her little heart out was not the best idea.
with a final look she turns around and reaches for the doorknob. when she goes to twist it yerim stops her.
"you seem like the only genuine person who has come in to talk to me." she croaks. her voice was raspy and irene felt like beating up jeongguk for doing this to such an innocent soul.
yerim looks at irene's facial expression and smiles, "you're so gorgeous, irene. the girl with the bad attitude who came a few hours ago had a serious face the whole time i wanted her to demolish or something." she laughs softly.
irene laughs at her words thinking of the exact person she spoke about. "you know i hope that for the time you're here you and i become great friends. i understand if you'll have difficulty with trusting me, but i assure you i never follow his rules. im seriously only here in this place for my fiancé." she holds yerim's hands in hers and the two smile.
"how about you talk to me about yourself?" she suggests. they're sitting comfortably on the bed and yerim nods.
she begins with her family, "well it's only my brother and me at the moment because our parents passed away when i was little. he's always spoiled me with love, attention, and gifts, so i love him very much. he's engaged to a wonderful woman who actually kind of resembles you. i feel like maybe that's why i feel comfortable with you." jisoo and irene looked a lot alike, so yerim felt like she could trust irene as well.
"i just graduated high school not too long ago actually and i was excited about college life with my best friend. he's always mentioning the parties and how he'll scare off the guys who try to talk to me because they'll be too ugly for me as he likes to say. he got me a beautiful necklace that i have back at home which im glad i left behind because all of the jewelry i was wearing is gone." she touches her neck and no necklace there. her fingers had no rings and her charm bracelet was actually confiscated in jeongguk's room. he had to make sure there was no tracker before he gave it back.
