"I'm seeing the pain,
seeing the pleasure."

♠♥♣♦

A few days ago


"Leave me alone or else even I don't know what I'll do next!" A tall boy with pointy ears yelled at a whiny boy much smaller in height. Three more boys stood beside them sending judging glares towards their direction.

"Baekhyun, I'm this close to hitting you into unconsciousness and I'm sure everyone won't stop me from doing it right now." Kyungsoo spoke up while making a hand geature towards the whiny boy, Byun Baekhyun who was still trying to make Chanyeol agree to having some lunch together with them. Apparently, he was sad and a bit irritated about the fact that Chanyeol didn't go to the cafeteria for lunch, skipped classes frequently and even stayed absent for several days without any notice.

"Yeah! Why don't you listen to Kyungsoo over there and stop pestering me!" Chanyeol sent a glare at Baekhyun but the latter didn't even flinch.
His stubborn and easy going nature towards Chanyeol, even after knowing that the tall boy had a bad temper, made everyone think that either Baekhyun was very brave or just plain stupid.

"No. Baekhyun is right. Chanyeol you need to spend time with us and behave like a normal person and not like some creep who keeps on appearing and disappearing when ever he wants." Jongdae or better known as Chen glared at Chanyeol, supporting Baekhyun's thoughts.

"Why are you suddenly so interested in my life and how the fuck it's going on? I have told you all before, I don't question you, you don't question me, and that's it. I will do whatever I please until and unless it's something concerned with any of you. End of the discussion." Chanyeol ended his mini speech with a glare directed at the rest of the four boys.

"Now that we are talking about it, I really want to know that, are you embarrassed of us or something? You never hang out with us. And sometimes even avoid us like plague when you are around someone that we don't know. You act like a stranger." Sehun finally gazed up from his phone in which he was previously so engrossed in. His eyes were showing all signs of curiousness and hesitance. Hesitance of poking something that may trigger the taller male and lead to a bigger argument.
Sehun's words made the rest of the boys flinch. They knew he was right. There was a hint of guilt in Chanyeol's eyes but he was quick to mask his expressions into a numb one. He knew his actions would make them feel like this but this was something he had to do. Something not beyond his power but still laid upon himself as a golden rule. Just for the sake of the others.

On the other end Baekhyun was surprised that the youngest noticed that. Something inside Baekhyun told him not to touch that subject. He sort of had an idea about the reason behind his friend's secrecy but he didn't care about that. All he wanted was his friend to be a little care free and enjoy his life a bit and not look like the burden of carrying the whole world was put on him. He understood his reasons as he himself had one, but no one needed to know that. And because of this he decided to distract others from this topic. He knew that Chanyeol had some serious matters in his hands, being the reason why he wanted his friends to stay away from that business.

"Hey, let's not just jump into conclusions and point a finger at him. I just wanted him to have some lunch with us. Nothing more, nothing less. Let's not make this look like a big problem when it clearly isn't." Baekhyun immediately spoke up. He seemed to sense Chanyeol's uneasiness.

"But you know that I'm right hyung." Sehun insisted.
"Hmm. Yeah, you are right and that behaviour of Chanyeol might be because maybe that other person with him was someone among his relatives and he probably didn't want to embarrass himself in front of him. Just like when my older brother came and I pretended that I was seeing all of you for the first time and that you all were members of school janitors. My brother totally bought that." Baekhyun chuckled in amusement.

"How can we forget that day? You treated us like dirt. I can't wait to return that favour to you someday. Verbally and physically." Kyungsoo watched Baekhyun while the latter just gulped and sheepishly smiled towards him, a bit of fear evident in him. Jongdae nodded in agreement while Sehun looked satisfied with the information and didn't lurk further. Baekhyun had sucessfully distracted their attention from the cursed topic but had dragged himself in the pits of hell while at it.

Chanyeol sighed with relief which didn't go unnoticed from Baekhyun.
"Okay, I guess I can have lunch with all of you. But just this once. Never again in the future. Alright?" Chanyeol raised his eyebrow while carefully watching others reactions. He was instantly met with happy cheers and high fives.
"Finally.." Kyungsoo mumbled under his breath and smiled a little, curling his perfect heart shaped lips.

.......................

Soaring sounds of a bike filled the alleyway as Chanyeol finally reached his destination. It was an abandoned building which looked like it was going to be a parking lot but was not completed. The reason being that the owner took loads of cash from a loan shark for this project and when he couldn't return it, the loan sharks beat him up into a pulp and took over the building.

And currently, this was the building from where that loan shark operated from.
It was pretty normal to find loan sharks in Seoul.

Chanyeol parked his bike to the side and went towards the building.
He normally would have ignored the commotion near the entrance and mind his own business, but something made him stop on his tracks. His curious gaze landed on an unfamiliar face.

He quietly approached the entrance. The guards immediately stopped blocking the entrance and did a respectful nod towards him.
The girl now spoke up. "Let me in right now! Do you know who I work for?"

This made the tall boy turn around and raise his eyebrow. "Who do you work for?" He Asked. He got more curious of the girl as she was the first person to not recognise him and be terrified of his presence.

"I work for the Right hand man of the gang who owns this place." She answered in a knowing tone.

"You don't work for me. As far as I remember, I prefer to work alone." Chanyeol said in a mocking tone.
"Who said about working for you?" The girl rolled her eyes.

But soon her, eyes widened with shock and horror when the tall boy replied -
"Well, me being the Right hand man of this gang should know about my employees, right?"

A/n:
I had a bad dream about Baekhyun trying to shave his eyebrows. And, no I am not kidding. I was crying while he was trying to colour on his shaved off eyebrows. 😑

This whole book will be in that girl's point of view so get ready.
