Bitch boys | NCT Mafia AU

Bewitch; (CH27)

[Recap: Y/N and Taeyong are back at the auctioning mission again with Chan and trying to persuade him into becoming a worthy business connection. Jungwoo and Y/N haven't been speaking that much. Taeyong told Y/N about the lollipop wrapper currency that goes around with gambling between major mafia companies.]

"GOING AGAIN FOR 300 MILLION DOLLARS" The auctioneer announced, gripping onto his wood hammer, ready to drop it down.

At this point, Taeyong had given up, letting you sort out the prices.
He was done, the amount of energy you have into this auction gave him little room to participate... So he just sat their in his seat, taking turns to both drink whatever the alcohol concoction he had mixed up and lick his now 6th lollipop of the night.

"MRS SEO IS GOING FOR 400"

You grinned as a silence settled in.

Though someone raised their hand, "600"

The auctioneer nodded, "ALRIGHT, 600 MILLION DOLLARS, ANYONE BIDDING IT TO 700, 800, 900-"

You grit your teeth, looking at the person who raised their hand for 600. What kind of asshole spends that much money on a pair of fucking contacts-

Well.

It's not like you could really talk that much shit, your hand just unconsciously raised itself in the air. You stared shocked at your own hand... You felt your heart race, you looked at the person who originally raised it to 600.. they weren't going to bid against that.

"ALRIGHT! SOLD TO MRS SEO AT THE BACK FOR ONE BILLION DOLLARS!!" The auctioneer announced.

You looked over at Taeyong to see his reaction. He looked aloof and distant... It was a relief that he didn't seem to care too much about the whole auction and money.

Chan clapped joyfully, he whistled, "man it'd be nice to be your kid.. my childhood would be all luxurious.. 'glitz and glamour' as some people would say"

Taeyong just sat there still blank. You would ask him what he was thinking, but you didn't want to weird out Chan, so you smoothed it out for Taeyong and lead on the conversation.

You waved it off, smiling sheepishly "oh no, your overreacting... I only spend money on business, nothing else"

"Right. You're in charge of business and this guy over here" Chan put his arm around Taeyong with ease, patting him on the back, "is in charge of spoiling his family, isn't it"

Taeyong snapped out of it, reacting to Chan, "What?"

You laughed, naturally trying, again, to stir Chan away from Taeyong, "he must be tired, my apologies Chan"

"Happens to me all the time! Don't sweat it" Chan replied.

"Mmmmm" you hummed before grasping ahold of Taeyong's hand, using your thumb rub the skin next to his knuckle, "darling, maybe you should stop drinking for now"

Taeyong nodded before softly putting his arm around you (pulling you in) and settling your head on his shoulder, his face resting against your head, "spend whenever you want, I don't mind. Billions isn't even close to how much money I make in a week"

"So I can keep going?" You asked.

"Go crazy" Taeyong nodded, though he still looked like he was thinking about something else.

You didn't care too much though. He had his problems and wonders in life and you did too. Your lives as far as you were concerned were seemingly close, but in your raw reality they were fucking universes apart.
