Drabble Collection #2

Kim Jongin || EXO, SuperM, Solo || Mafia!AU

The slap resonates through the restaurant, causing patrons to stop and look in your direction. Your hand stings from the impact but nothing is more telling than the red hand print on Jongin's turned cheek. Your breathing is heavy, fuelled by anger, and you glare coldly at the man you had just struck.

"How dare you speak to me like that." You ground out through gritted teeth as you stand straight with your head held high. "The audacity that you have to think you can come in here and say such things then expect me to follow you." He turns to meet your glare, looking deathly calm despite how irritated you look. "You forget who I am and who I'm married to."

He waits for you to finish, lets you yell and cause a scene because at the end of the day, none of that matters. It doesn't matter if you are the Queen of the Underworld, that your husband is the King and would cut out his tongue for speaking ill of him to his beloved wife. It doesn't matter if Jongin had proof of your husband's infidelities, proof that you are in grave danger because some whore got her claws into the man who swore to love you until death do you part.

Because death will be the reason you part. A death orchestrated by your own husband.

But you don't want to hear that, hear such truths while out with friends, or women who pretend to be your friend so that they can bask in the glory that comes with being close to you.

"You're in danger." He simply states, reaching for you but you pull away, not making this easy on him. "Please, if we don't hurry-"

"What? What could possibly happen?"

Your stubbornness is beginning to wear down his patience. Jongin has been nothing but a faithful soldier to you and you alone. He's been with you since you left the care of your family on your wedding night and he hasn't left your side. His loyalty is to you and he would rather die in the line of fire than to let any harm befall you.

Why couldn't you see that he was only trying to protect you?

When the door is kicked open, your husband pointing a finger at you and shouting an order for his men to grab you, Jongin grabs you in your moment of surprise and drags you quickly for the back door. "Well, you're coming with me, whether you like it or not."

The sounds of bullets being fired causes you to snap out of your surprise and begin to rush with him. He needs to get to safety, he needs to make sure that you are unharmed and then when he knows that he can leave you alone - Jongin is going to kill him for daring to threaten your life.
