No Mercy | Chapter II

-> pairing | Seungyoun x reader, Seungwoo x reader (neither confirmed)

-> word c: 2k+

-> genre: mafia au, fluff, angst, (possible) smut

-> summary: Dating a mafia boss is hard. But it’s harder when the mafia boss is a powerful, possessive drug lord, who likes to keep track on your every little move. Caught in a cat and mouse game with his enforcer for two weeks, you must bear through his severe scrutiny, because one wrong move could mean a bullet to your head.

Loosely inspired by © A bittersweet Life

Seungyoun’s drive back to the hotel was short but pensive. And by the time he had pulled up in the long, wide driveway of the extensive building, he’d come to the conclusion that he was wrong. Wrong to overlook your case. Your supposedly annoying, loud personality didn’t trigger him to rule out any possibilities yet. He had seen enough betrayals to know the art of deceiving, and he knew something was wrong with you. There was a fracture somewhere in your façade. Seungyoun just had to figure out where it was exactly.

Sighing, he got out of his car, handing the keys to the valet. He straightened his coat on his way inside the colossal hotel lobby, stopping momentarily to cringe at the assortment of seasonal flowers in the vases on the coffee tables.

“Sol, please send Wooseok to my office as soon as you see him.”

Seungyoun didn’t look at the receptionist as he said that, instead he kept moving and took the longer route towards his office. He passed by the hotel’s café, his eyes sharp. There seemed to be no problem around here. Even with most of the hotel’s guests being powerful crime lords.

Seungyoun’s shoulders relaxed but then hunched up again when he passed by the restaurant of the hotel. In its bright red lights, the restaurant stood out, separated from the rest of the hotel by a long, vertical koi pond. A small, wide bridge over the pond was the only way to cross over to the restaurant. The relatively easy entrance was a hassle for drunk customers, however. It was a usual occurrence for him to see a drenched person cursing his way out of the hotel.

Seungyoun had been thinking extensively to shut down the pond once and for all. But Wooseok, Seungyoun’s precious second in command, had persuaded him not to. At some point Seungyoun himself contradicted his decision. He had grown fond of the fish.

He was about to cross over the small Bridge and take a look at the fish, but then he saw Dongpyo coming out through the restaurant’s door. Seungyoun made a swift turn away from, hoping he didn’t notice him. Dongpyo was the one person he didn’t want to see today.

“Seungyoun! Wait up.”

For fuck’s sake. Seungyoun turned around, face stern.

“God, you’re a really difficult man to find.”

Dongpyo walked until he stood before Seungyoun. He dug into his pocket and held out his phone.

“That dumbass President Lee has been calling me all day. Turns out the guys you beat up and kicked out the other day were his men.”

Seungyoun’s eyebrows furrowed. “And?”

Dongpyo took Seungyoun’s hand and placed his phone in it.

“And, he keeps calling me saying how we could do this to his men. Apparently, what you did made him lose face.”

As if on cue, the phone rang.

“Ahhh, see he’s calling again! This guy is nuts. Pick it up and take care of it.”

President Lee’s men were Dongpyo’s to handle but Seungyoun had done him a favor when he handled them instead. And yet, it was starting to backfire on him somehow.

Seungyoun slid the green icon on the phone, putting the phone to his ears. His heartbeat lurched for an ephemeral moment, and then it was stable as ever.

“Hello, this is Cho Seungyoun.”

The guy on the other end, President Lee Jinhyuk, spoke but Seungyoun wasn’t listening. Just because he happened to join hands with President Choi didn’t mean he changed his status. He was still a lowly thug for Seungyoun.

Anger clouded his mind when he cut Jinhyuk off and said, “If you have something to say, come to the hotel and say it to me. I’m hanging up.”

Dongpyo’s eyes widened in surprise when Seungyoun hung up the phone and shoved it in his hands.

“I took care of it.” Seungyoun said and took off.

Dongpyo recovered from his shock and managed to grab him by the shoulder. “Ya! Are you crazy? You just made it worse.“

Seungyoun pushed away his hand, straightening his coat.

“Then maybe you should have taken care of it yourself.”

Seungyoun stormed off, letting himself breathe fully only when he reached his office. He slumped down on his chair, closing his eyes while cursing Dongpyo. He totally fit the name Seungyoun had given him. A devil. A total, fucking devil. That too at such a young age, he could only imagine what he’d do as he got older.

A knock on the door stole Seungyoun’s attention. A voice called out from the other side of the door.

“It’s Wooseok!”

Finally.

“Come in. The door’s open.”

Wooseok moved in with agility, barely making any noise as he sat on the seat across Seungyoun’s desk. “Looks like someone’s having a rough day.”

Seungyoun opened one eye to look at him. “Is it that obvious?”

The other boy merely shrugged. “Is it about the thing with President Lee?”

Seungyoun groaned. “Why do you guys keep saying his name like he’s a fucking god?! He’s nothing but a stupid thug and he’s the least of my concern.”

Wooseok looked at Seungyoun, concern lining his gaze.

“I don’t know Seungyoun, but he looks pretty damn powerful to me. Especially after joining hands with President Choi. It might sound profane, but they might as well be on the same level as our President Han.”

Seungyoun scoffed. “Powerful my ass. Look how he got so butthurt over me throwing out his men the other day.” He turned in his seat, “I’ve seen enough powerful men to know he’s not one of them.”

Wooseok’s gaze never wavered, he seemed bent on something. Like something was stuck at the tip of his tongue and he just couldn’t say it.

“Don’t be so sure about it now, Seungyoun…Things are not always as you see them.”

Seungyoun stood up, “And when I want a sermon on that, I know who to call.” He smiled sarcastically at Wooseok, stretching his back before walking out.

“Oh and by the way, please change the flowers on the vases in the lobby, they look hideous.”

Wooseok turned to Seungyoun who stood at the door now. “Is that why you called me here?”

“Partially, yes.”

Wooseok looked on, expectant. “What else is there?”

“There’s this girl.”

The morning with you came rushing back to Seungyoun’s mind. Your voice, your face, your bizarrely green clothes and even your rather rude brother, Dohyon. In the morning, Seungyoun thought you were annoying, but now, he was looking forward to you, mainly as a way to dodge Dongpyo and the fucked up situation around President Lee but looking forward nonetheless.

“Come walk with me, I’ll tell you all about it.”

*********************

Day 1

2:37 pm

“Mr. Seungyoun!! Hey! This is Y/n here! You weren’t picking up so I decided to leave a voicemail. Seungwoo called me asking how things were going with you and I kind of lied to him that things were great-”

Seungyoun was dreaming. It was a good dream. Something with a large field of buckwheat flowers and a voice. A strangely beautiful voice.

“-and that you are a great bodyguard even though you haven’t officially started being my bodyguard yet. So when you hear this, please call me back so we can officially start your little job and I won’t have to lie again?”

He smiled through the dream, wishing for the voice to never stop talking.

“Because I happen to be a bad liar,” the voice laughed.

Seungyoun’s eyes shot up. Sunlight filtered through the apartment windows, loitering around his face. The room was well lit by the sun, thus, he easily found his phone buried somewhere beneath his bed sheets.

Once your voice faded away, he immediately called back. A quick glance at the clock showed it was 2 in the afternoon.

“Fuck.” He swore to himself.

When you picked up he said, “I’m sorry you called and I didn’t pick up, I-” Seungyoun scrambled for an excuse.

“No, it’s alright! I just called because I was going out and needed you to help out for a little while.”

“Of course, what time are you heading out?”

On the other end of the line, you looked at the wall clock in your living room. “Umm, somewhere around three thirty?”

“Alright, give me half an hour and I’ll be there.”

Seungyoun hung up, groaned, made a mess of the sheets in frustration and then finally headed for a shower.

You hung up, sighed, threw glare at Dohyon and then finally waited for the answers you’d been dying to get since yesterday.

*********************

7:31 pm

Seungyoun had reached your place sharp at 3:20.

Upon his arrival you’d asked if Dohyon could tag along until the end of the block, where you would have to drop him off at some friend’s house. Seungyoun being a nice guy, or at least the nicest he could be, agreed. Although Dohyon’s constant comments on his ‘awesome’ car did threaten to drive him crazy. But he didn’t mind, it took his mind off of other things.

And then there was you, clad in a green fleece shirt topped with a black jacket. Green and black wasn’t the best combination, but you seemed to be pulling it off easily, Seungyoun thought.

After dropping off Dohyon, you lead Seungyoun to the café you were planning to have lunch at. At first Seungyoun denied your request of eating together, coming up with the excuse that it wasn’t exactly part of the job description. But after much persuasion and a show of puppy eyes from your side, he reluctantly agreed.

And so, here he was in a café that made him awkwardly stand out in his black suit, watching you eat up 2 servings of steaks while he wasn’t even done with his first.

“You must try their chocolate soufflé, it tastes like heaven.”

Seungyoun nodded, “Are you gonna eat that too… after you finish the steak?”

You nodded through a full mouth. “Of course! That’s the highlight of this place,” then you proceeded to call up a waiter and order it. Seungyoun wanted to scoff but he ended up smiling.

Why are you smiling? Get yourself together, Seungyoun.

Seungyoun’s smile dropped.

A moment passed in silence, and then you spoke, “Seungwoo said you’re a scary guy.”

You kept your eyes on your plate when you said that, ignoring the abrupt attention Seungyoun gave you.

He cocked his head to one side, “He did?”

You looked up, chewing on a piece of the steak, and nodded your head. Seungyoun was still looking at you, face holding an unfathomable expression.

He looked away first, going back to the tiring action of cutting through his food. You were the one to stare this time, calculating every step you took carefully.

“You’re an enforcer, aren’t you?”

Seungyoun stopped cutting for a second. You waited for his face to give it away, but he only gave you a small smile.

“I gave you my visiting card the other day, I work at a hotel.”

“So you’re an enforcer for the hotel?,” You said, pressing the matter.

“I’m not that kind of a person.” Seungyoun’s response was quick and sharp. He locked his gaze with your once more.

The restaurant around you grew eerily silent as you two refused to back down from your intense stare-down. You raised your head, finally breaking your gaze when you asked,

“So, why did Seungwoo send you for me?”

Seungyoun replied, “I told you. Mr. Seungwoo is going for a business trip overseas for 2 weeks, and he asked me to ensure your safety until he returns.”

You were tempted to scoff, but held your disdain in.

“And who are you kidding?” Your voice no longer held the casual tone it did moments ago. You were annoyed before, but now you were furious. Furious at Seungyoun’s audacity to think of you as a fool.

“Excuse me?”

Seungyoun’s face was blank. On the other hand, your face was a raging mess of emotions; mostly anger and contempt.

“Seungwoo has asked you to keep an eye on me, hasn’t he?” You said.

And then you saw it, the expression you"d been waiting to see for hours. Though it lasted for an ephemeral moment you caught onto it easily. His eyes wavered, and jaw tightened.

You continued when he didn’t answer. “I know Seungwoo, and I know his… Possessiveness. He wants you to find something on me, to prove whether I’m faithful to him or not. That’s it, isn’t it?”

You looked on, eyes searching through Seungyoun’s face for the obvious answer.

“Because I’m young, naïve and easily swayed?”

Seungyoun picked up a napkin from the table before wiping his mouth, giving into a lopsided smile when he was done. It wasn’t a friendly smile, it wasn’t like that at all. You had to suppress a shiver threatening to run down your spine.

“You’re Smart.”

You didn’t smile back when you said, “I know.”

The silence reigned supreme again, but your curiosity broke it once more.

“So, have you?”

“What?” Seungyoun asked.

“Found something on me?”

He shook his head.

“Do you think you’ll find something on me?”

He shrugged, “Probably.”

You hummed in response, devouring the final piece of your steak. Seungyoun’s hooded eyes never left yours. Before his gaze feigned naivety but now with the truth unfolded, his eyes burned into yours with a new intensity.

You found it in yourself to smirk.

“This should be fun.”

The tension around you too dissipated when the waiter brought your chocolate soufflé, and your face lit up again with the smile you had moments ago. Seungyoun found it weird. There seemed to be something off about you. The fracture he was looking for was close, but he couldn’t put his hand on it. Not yet.

“So when are you going to ask me the question?” The chocolate coated the edges of your lips, when you took a bite of your soufflé, staining them.

Seungyoun asked, confused, “Which question?”

“The ‘why am I dating Seungwoo’ question?”

Seungyoun laughed.

Wow, you thought, he has a beautiful laugh. Then, you shook your head.

“Am I supposed to ask that question?”

You smiled, “I don’t know, everyone asks that question, so I thought you would too.”

“Okay then Y/n, why are you dating Mr. Seungwoo?”

You leaned against the table, looking far off, “Hmm. Let me think.”

Seungyoun fought the urge to wipe away the chocolate on your lips.

“I see Seungwoo differently than others see him.” You began.

Seungyoun looked up from your lips.

“To me he isn’t the dangerous Mr. Seungwoo you guys know him as. You see fear in him, I see potential. Potential to be good, to be better than what the world makes him. Whatever he does, all his doubts and suspicions they are just an imprint bad people left on his life. He can be fixed and I can fix him because I know whatever I do, he’ll never hurt me, never.”

You thought so highly of the man who had ordered Seungyoun to kill you at the slightest inconvenience. Such melodrama, this was going to break Seungyoun’s nonexistent heart.

“Of course.” Seungyoun’s eyes twitched as he lied.

This was going to be a tough ride.

**********************

9:49 pm

“By the way, Mr. Seungyoun, do you have trouble sleeping at night?”

You walked by Seungyoun on the driveway, on your way back back to his car.

“A little.”

Seungyoun pressed the unlock button on his car keys. His black car, parked a few steps away, blinked in a yellow light.

“Why’d you ask?”

You stepped down from the curb. “When you called in the morning it sounded like you just woke up, so I figured you must have had a rough night which led me to my theory that you might have trouble sleeping.”

You continued until Seungyoun reached the door to the driver’s seat. “Which leads me to my main point, if your hotel has chamomile tea you should try drinking it before you sleep. It’ll do you some good.”

Seungyoun turned to look at you,

“Thank you. I will keep it in mind.”

And Seungyoun did keep it mind. For as soon as he dropped you off and made sure you didn’t wander off anywhere else, he went back to the hotel and ordered a chamomile tea into his office.

He slept well that night.

******************

“Shouldn’t you be asleep? I think it’s like 3 am for you.” Seungwoo spoke through the phone.

You stifled a yawn when you replied, “No, I just wanted to talk to you, see if you’re having fun.”

“I’m on a business trip Y/n, it isn’t exactly fun.” You could hear Seungwoo’s smile in his voice.

“Yeah, I know…It’s just that I missed you.”

“It’s been only two days since I left.”

“I know that too.”

“Go to sleep Y/n, I’ll talk in the morning.”

You turned around in your bed, eyes empty, mind awake.

“Okay…I love you.”

Seungwoo just hummed in response. Then the line cut and the phone dangled from your hand, aimless.

You recalled the day. A habit you couldn’t get rid of. You laughed at the memory of Dohyon vigorously complimenting Seungyoun’s car and Seungyoun’s face as he bore it all. You smiled when you remembered Seungyoun as he saw you eat so much food alone, then you remembered the weird little conversation you both had. And you remembered when he said ‘of course’ after you said Seungwoo would never hurt you.

And you remembered the twitch in his eyes.

And you remembered how his reassurance was a lie.

My Top 11 (Ep 4)

As the elimination episode is currently streaming, I finally get to making this post 😅 But I still want to put out there what my Top 11 is before the elimination because I like to then create another one if one of them makes me cry and is eliminated. So here they are!

MBK Entertainment Lee Hangyul: the LOML, most sexy boy, my one and only, MY PICK!!! I’ve had him as my number one since before the season began and it’s not going to change any time soon.

Individual Choi Suhwan: Suhwan has also always ranked high for me; he’s incredibly talented and deserves the entire world (which I am prepared to give)

Music Works Kim Kookheon: As I’ve said before, Kookheon is firstly a good, genuine, hard-working guy. On top of that, he’s one of the best vocalists in the competition. I mean, what’s not to love?

YG Entertainment Hidaka Mahiro: Probably the one in my Top 11 who I’m most worried about. It’s absolutely ridiculous that he got last in the Group X Battles. He has such amazing reversal charms: he’s captivating and sexy onstage while a marshmallow offstage! He’s so loveable and I’m praying that he makes it through this elimination.

Starship Entertainment Song Hyungjun: You just can’t help but fall in love with this boy. His visuals are precious, he’s so selfless, and he’s an amazing dancer. I want to keep him around for as long as possible!

AAP.Y Lee Midam: The most unique voice in the completion, (and arguably my favorite) Midam is the total package. He’s captivating when he performs. If he doesn’t rank high, I’m going to throw a fit because he fully deserves it.

TOP Media Lee Jinhyuk: Arguably the trainee with the best stage presence, Jinhyuk never disappoints onstage. His rapping deserves more recognition. Plus, he gave up the main rapper position to Yohan because he thought Yohan would be able to shine doing it: we love a selfless man.

HONGYI Entertainment Tony: THE ICON OF TRYING YOUR BEST!!!!! His voice is also amazing and you can see how much effort he puts into his practicing. He’s humble and knows himself, but I think he should give himself more credit. He’s got a bright future and I want him to stay on the show so he can continue to learn and practice with the trainers.

VINE Entertainment Baek Jin: Possibly the best dancer in the competion, Baek Jin clearly knows himself as a performer: he recognizes his strengths and uses them to make the performance his. I believe he’s going to go far!

TOP Media Kim Wooseok: His soft voice and effortless stage presence are his best charms. Wooseok can do nothing and still make me weak.

Yuehua Entertianment Cho Seungyoun: HE 👏🏻 DESERVES 👏🏻 ALL 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 RECOGNITION Seungyoun is a rapper who was main vocal, killed us all with his visuals and facial expressions, and is HILARIOUS. I hope that this is the show where he can take off because honestly, after all the shit he’s been through, he deserves it.
