ATEEZ HEIST [18+ Yunho/Mingi Fanfic]

Chapter 1 - Stranger

Note to Reader:

I wrote this fanfic a few years ago so please excuse the bad writing. Also when it comes to the smut in this book, I just wanted to say that the relationships depicted are not healthy ones. I don't necessarily agree with everything I wrote back then. I'm going to leave this fanfic up for now, I just wanted to give a little warning.

It started out as just a regular day.

I was sitting in a quaint café, drinking iced americanos with my best friend Dahyun. It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning and puddles were drying on the street from the rainstorm the night before. It was so beautiful out; I couldn't help but look out the window and daydream a bit. I thought back to when I had just moved to Korea from the United States for university. The year had gone by so fast and I made so many friends and memories during that time. Dahyun had been kind enough to talk to me during a lecture your first week at school, even though my Korean wasn't very good back then. We became best friends quickly, since we both had a bad habit of spending all our money on concert tickets and coffee.

"Um, hello?" I turned from the window to see an annoyed Dahyun jokingly giving me the stink eye. "What's up with you? I already finished my coffee, and you've barely touched yours."

"Oh, sorry I got distracted. It's just so nice out today. We should go walk around and do some shopping!" I suggested hopefully.

"Yeah, right. With what money? After that TXT concert last week, I don't even want to look at my bank account right now. No way I can spend anything if I want to pay this semesters tuition." She sighed, flipping her long dark hair dramatically over her shoulder.

"Window shopping then?" I winked at her. I knew she couldn't say no to shopping. I was a bad influence on her, but she was a bad influence on me as well. That's part of the reason we made such great best friends.

Together we walked, arms linked, towards a busy shopping street with lots of cute boutiques. I was still sipping at my iced coffee while Dahyun strolled from store to store, picking up hats and shirts and pretending she had enough money to buy them. I spotted a store that sold cute stickers, and I wanted to get one for my laptop. As I made my way through the crowd over to the shop, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure darting through the crowd directly towards me. Before I had time to react, he collided directly into me.

My breath was knocked out of me as I fell to the ground. What was left of my iced coffee flew across the street and spilled all over the pavement. Shocked and with stinging cuts on my elbows, I tried to bring myself back up to my feet, but I was still too unbalanced. I looked up at the man who had knocked my down. He was tall and broad. He looked very tired, as if he had been running for awhile, which explains how he ran into me. Still he looked handsome in the sunlight, but maybe also a bit scary. I mean, who dresses in all black in the spring?

In my dazed state, I finally realized that I had just been staring at him for way too long. I also hadn't realized that his hand was outstretched to help me up. He looked at me with dark and anxious eyes. I tentatively took his hand, and was surprised when he lifted me up straight away, without me trying to help. I finally stood up, holding onto one of my injured arms.

I looked up at him again, and he was already staring at me. His deep brown eyes were mesmerizing. He frowned and mumbled, "Sorry...". 

Then without another word, he broke eye contact and took off running.

"Hey!" I called after him. Not only did he injure my arm, which was currently stinging like hell, but he also spilt my drink. Didn't I deserve more than just a pathetic sorry? What an asshole.

"ARE YOU OK? WHO THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Dahyun had been in the store across the road, but must have seen me get knocked over.

"I'm fine, and I don't know. He just ran into me out of nowhere." I sighed. 

"C'mon let's get you to the clinic, your arm is bleeding. Seriously, he just ran off? What a dick."

I smiled at Dahyun, as we walked carefully down the road towards the nearest clinic.

We meet all the other members later on too, but let me set the stage a bit in the next couple chapters.
