Rating: PG13 maybe ( i'm quite violent, hehe)
Summary: Kyuhyun was born and raised as a member of the Dark Society, an organization where death and killing were inevitable and violence was part of life. Not even as he left the organization has he left that part of his life. Then comes Ryeowook, a young man who has absolutely little-to-no idea about the dark and violent reality of society. Can he shed light to Kyuhyun's darkness? Or will he fall prey to the Dark Society?
Chapter 11
Part A
The moment Kyuhyun stepped inside the restaurant the very next day, Sungmin knew his warning didn't achieve his much desired goal of making Kyuhyun stay away from Ryeowook. He had merely ignored him. And that fact made Sungmin's blood boil.
"You just can't stay away, can you?" Sungmin growled from the kitchen window. "Fine. Time for plan B."
In order to keep Ryeowook as far away from Kyuhyun as possible, Sungmin wouldn't hesitate on using drastic measures. If he can't keep Kyuhyun away from Ryeowook, then he'll keep Ryeowook away from Kyuhyun. And this time, he'll need all the help he can get. By 'help', he means the two other afternoon shift waiters-- Eunhyuk and Donghae.
The plan was to keep Ryeowook as busy and distracted as possible so that he wouldn't have the time to even spare Kyuhyun a glance.
The plan worked, of course. Ryeowook has never expected his job to be busier than ever. He barely even had time to breathe before either of his fellow waiters approach him.
"Wookie-ah, can you take the orders of that group in Table 11? They're so noisy that I can't tell who ordered which meals." Donghae said.
"Ryeowook, I think my stomach is acting up. Can you deal with my customers in Table 9 for a while?" Eunhyuk said with an award-winning acting skill.
"Yah, Wookie! Table 12 needs some more ketchup! Can you please get it, Wook?" Donghae bellowed from the other side of the restaurant.
"I don't think my stomach is getting any better. I can't work in this condition. Would you kindly cover for me?" said Eunhyuk immediately after one of Ryeowook's many tasks was done.
Whenever Ryeowook ventured anywhere near the table in the corner, either of the two waiters would distract him and send him to the other side of the restaurant along with some absurd requests or send him straight to the kitchen saying that Sungmin needs his help.
Being the kind dongsaeng he was, Ryeowook just couldn't say 'no' to any of his hyungs' requests. So no matter how unreasonable the tasks were, he would just smile and do what he was told to do. And true enough, he hadn't noticed that Kyuhyun was even there in the restaurant.
Unlike what Sungmin had thought, Kyuhyun didn't actually ignore what he had said. In fact, Kyuhyun had been thinking about the warning ever since last night.
'He's been through a lot already.' I wonder what could that mean., Kyuhyun thought to himself. And indeed, that was the very reason why he came to the restaurant again despite the warning that he should stay away. He wanted to find out what had happened to Ryeowook.
Kyuhyun was disappointed though. He had been staring at Ryeowook the entire time he was there, expecting the other to look around and see him. And he had never seen Ryeowook look this harrased before. It wasn't even anywhere near closing time and yet Ryeowook already looked dead tired. But that wasn't the only thing bothering him. Ryeowook didn't look at him. Not even a glance or a glare or any indication at all that he saw him. And it made Kyuhyun's heart clench.
In kyuhyun's mind, he was calling, "I'm right over here, little waiter. Are you really too busy that you can't even look around to see me?"
If only Ryeowook knows telepathy, then he might have heard Kyuhyun's thoughts. Unfortunately, he doesn't and so he never saw the person who always sat in the corner table.
It was nearly closing time. Usually, this would be the perfect time for Ryeowook to just sit down for a while and rest since there wuuld only be a couple more customers who are left finishing their meals. However, on this particular night, Ryeowook was far from resting.
"Hyung, do you really think tonight is the best time for us to scrub the kitchen spotless?" Ryeowook asked as he cleaned the stoves.
"Of course. The kitchen is supposed to be squeaky clean all the time. Every night should be cleaning night." Sungmin said as he mopped the floor.
"Really? So why is it that you told the other chefs to go home then drag ME here to clean with you? Wouldn't it be more productive if they cleaned with us?" Ryeowook asked.
Sungmin opened his mouth to answer, then he frowned and ended up closing his mouth again. "Umm...I'll get back to you on that." Sungmin said to avoid answering the question.
"Hyung~" Ryeowook whined.
"Be sure to wipe those stoves spotless, Wookie-ah." Sungmin said, moving away from Ryeowook. "We're not going home till they're perfectly gleaming."
Ryeowook sighed and just continued what he was doing. Eunhyuk and Donghae were acting weird today. Not really much of a surprise since the two were practically weird everyday. What was worrying him though was the way Sungmin was acting today. He was irritable and snapped a lot. And he never drove him this hard before. In fact, Sungmin would usually insist that he should stop working and take a break every now and then. But today, he was making him do things that he wasn't even supposed to do. What was going on? Not only that, he could also feel that there was something missing in this day. Something wasn't making his day complete. He just couldn't put a finger on what it is that didn't happen today. He just couldn't understand what was going on this day.
It wasn't only Ryeowook who found everything weird. Even Kyuhyun thought something was amiss. Earlier, Ryeowook didn't manage to spare him even a glance and now, he couldn't see the little waiter at all. The only waiters around were the two weirdos that he still can't name yet.
Is he avoiding me? Why would he do that all of a sudden?
Even when the last of the customers finally left and the two waiters have disappeared into the lounge, Kyuhyun still sat there on his seat.
"When exactly do you plan on going back to the main house? The restaurant is closed already." Shindong said, approaching Kyuhyun's table.
"Fine. I'm leaving." Kyuhyun said, standing up. He had been expecting that by this time, Ryeowook would have come out already. Even if he would only get out just to tell Kyuhyun to go home, he would have been satisfied already. But the little waiter disappointed him. "I don't even know why I came here anyway."
Shindong's eyes followed Kyuhyun as the younger male walked out the door. "What the hell is his problem?"
When Kyuhyun stepped out of the restaurant, he noticed two figures walking away from the restaurant. One of the figures was unmistakably Ryeowook. The other figure was only slightly familiar. He had the feeling that the one walking closely beside Ryeowook was that chef who had warned him last night.
As he watched, he saw the chef place an arm around Ryeowook's shoulder. Ryeowook didn't seem to mind the arm at all. He even let himself be pulled closer.
The closeness Kyuhyun saw between the two made his heart clench again. It was a different feeling from before. It wasn't sadness or even anger. The closest thing he could relate it to was jealousy. But jealousy over what exactly? Over the closeness of the two? But then, why should he be jealous about it? It wasn't like he was aiming to get closer to Ryeowook too. Or was he?
Annoyance crept into Kyuhyun as he watched the two walk away. With difficulty, Kyuhyun tore his eyes away and began to walk away in a direction opposite to where the two were going. He was in quite a bad mood and he couldn't understand why.
When Kyuhyun walked away in the opposite direction, a grin appeared in Sungmin's lips. What Kyuhyun didn't know was that Sungmin saw him come out of the restaurant earlier. Sungmin had noticed him staring at them and he took it as a chance to show Kyuhyun that he can never have Ryeowook. He placed an arm around the little waiter's shoulder and pulled him closer.
Ryeowook barely made a sound of protest on what Sungmin did. He was too tired to even ask what his hyung was doing so he just let Sungmin do what he wanted to do. He didn't notice Kyuhyun, of course. But it was weird that he felt someone glaring at him from behind. He didn't bother to look back and see who was glaring. He was so sleepy that barely anything else mattered to him other than just going home.
As soon as they reached the apartment, Ryeowook let himself collapse on the sofa. He was dead tired. Just being able to lie on the sofa almost made him feel like he was in heaven.
Sungmin looked at his exhausted form with worry in his eyes. "Wook-ah, do you want to have a snack first? Or perhaps a glass of water?" he asked.
"No thanks, hyung. I'm okay." Ryeowook murmured. He could barely even open his eyes to look at Sungmin.
"You shouldn't sleep on the sofa, Wook. Why don't you go sleep in your room? You'll be more comfortable there." Sungmin suggested.
"Mmm...just give me five minutes, hyung." Ryeowook murmured before he drifted off to sleep on the sofa.
"Wook-ah. Hey, you need to go to your room now." Sungmin said, gently tapping Ryeowook's cheek. When it became evident that Ryeowook wouldn't wake up any time soon, Sungmin sighed. "You're so tired that you just can't wake up, huh? But I can't let you sleep here in the sofa all night."
Sungmin placed an arm under the bend of Ryeowook's knees and another arm behind Ryeowook's neck before he carried him bridal style to his room. There he placed Ryeowook gently to his bed and covered him with a blanket. The younger male barely gave any indication that he felt anything and just continued to sleep.
Sungmin looked guiltily at Ryeowook's tired face. "I'm sorry that I made this day horrible for you. I just had to. So that Kyuhyun won't get to you. You don't deserve someone like him, Wookie-ah." Sungmin said as he brushed off the hair covering Ryeowook's eyes. "You're just too good for that."
"I'd do just about everything for you. Because I love you so much." Sungmin murmured as he stared at the sleeping angel. "Saranghae, Ryoewook." he murmured at Ryeowook's ear before he went to kiss the younger male on the lips.
Sungmin’s lips were almost on Ryeowook’s but he stopped himself and instead, he landed the kiss on Ryeowook’s forehead. “Good night, Ryeowook-ah.” He murmured before he quickly exited from the room.
The moment he was outside the room, Sungmin slid down to squat on the floor with his hands covering his face. “What the hell are you doing, Sungmin? You’re not supposed to do that to him!” he muttered furiously to himself. He had so nearly taken advantage of Ryeowook’s present state and it made him sick.
“You have no idea what you’re doing to me.”
The days went by with the same sequences. Sungmin, Eunhyuk and Donghae were pretty much creative in making new ideas on how to make Ryeowook as busy as possible. Those days were like a living hell to the younger male. He even considered it a bit of a miracle that he still hasn’t collapsed from all the workload yet.
It wasn’t only Ryeowook who was having a hard time that week, though. Kyuhyun was experiencing his own private piece of hell everytime he steps inside the restaurant.
Kyuhyun could no longer count just how many times he has forcefully convinced himself that the reason why he was inside the restaurant had nothing to do with the little waiter. He had scolded himself again and again whenever he caught himself absentmindedly staring at Ryeowook while he moved so gracefully inside the restaurant. He had even tried not to go to the restaurant at all. But all in all, his efforts were futile. Even if he walked in another direction, he still ends up inside the restaurant, watching the little waiter and waiting to see if he sees him. His mood was beginning to turn from bad to worse with his frustration and disappointment. It didn’t help that Sungmin practically used all opportunities for him to show Kyuhyun just how close he is to Ryeowook.
At the end of the day, Kyuhyun would just go home, fuming. He would slam shut all the doors that he went by and he would glare at everything and everyone that he sees as he made his way to his room.
“Looks like somebody’s cranky.” Changmin noted on the third night since the activation of Sungmin’s plan. Kyuhyun had just come home and slammed the door so hard that the whole house seemed to shake. He had ignored all the stares and just locked himself again in his room.
“It must be the side effect of those painkillers you developed for him.” Yunho said, sniggering.
“Hey, that wasn’t nice. You took the exact same medication around a month ago.” Changmin retorted.
“Yeah. And wasn’t that the time that he almost shot a man dead just because he stepped on his shoes?” Yesung said.
“Oh, right. I almost forgot about that. I almost got in jail for it. And you were the one who was supposed to arrest me that time.” Yunho said with a grin.
“But that doesn’t mean anything.” Changmin said, pouting.
“Face it, Changmin. You’re the worst chemist ever. No wonder they kicked you out of medical school.” Yesung said, sniggering.
While the three started to bicker with each other, Leeteuk turned his head to Kangin, who was busy surfing for any good channels. “Did you notice? Kyuhyun’s been very grumpy lately.”.
“Isn’t he always?” Kangin said.
“Well, yeah. But I think something is really bothering him right now. And I don’t think it has anything to do with those painkillers Changmin made.” Leeteuk said, and then he sighed. “I really hate to see any child of ours like this. It breaks a mother’s heart.”
“Hey, hey, hold on. Since when did I get to have any children with you?” Kangin asked.
Leeteuk pouted at Kangin. “Yah, I thought you already agreed to father any child I choose.”
“Yeah, I did. I agreed to father any CHILD you choose. I never exactly agreed on parenting a bunch of noisy adults who are only just a couple of years younger than me.” Kangin said. “Besides I don’t really see why I have to trouble myself with that zombie’s business.”
Leeteuk pouted even more. Then suddenly, an idea popped in his mind. “Kangin-ah~” he whined, looking at Kangin with puppy dog eyes. “Please~”
Kangin frowned at Leeteuk and for a while, it seemed like there had been no effect on him. But after a few seconds, a grin appeared on his face and he shook his head. “And I thought Heechul is the only manipulative person around.” he muttered.
“Fine. I don’t know if it has anything to do with everything but Shindong had just called me a while ago to tell me that Kyuhyun was at the restaurant earlier. Seems to me like he was always in the restaurant the entire time he was not here.”
Leeteuk frowned for a moment, and then his face lightened up as if he realized something. “Well, well, well. I should have known.”
Seeing a smile appear on Leeteuk’s face, Kangin began to understand as well. “I know that smile of yours. That’s the same smile you wear when you’re watching all those cheesy soap operas of yours.” Kangin said. “Come on, you can’t seriously be thinking that he can really be bothered with that sort of dilemma.”
“Why not? There’s hardly anything else that could be bothering him. Besides, it seems logical.” Leeteuk said.
Kangin sighed and said, “Ah, youth these days. So, what do you want to do now? Play cupid?”
“Of course.” Leeteuk said, winking at Kangin. “I’m not called Angel for nothing.”
“You’re unbelievable.” Kangin said, shaking his head.
“Isn’t that why you love me?” Leeteuk responded with a sexy growl.
Kangin grinned at Leeteuk. “You have absolutely no idea.”
Kangin was about to kiss Leeteuk passionately, but the older male placed a finger on Kangin’s lips to stop him. It was evident why. The three bickering males were all watching them.
“Not in front of the children.” Leeteuk said. “Why don’t we take this upstairs?” he added with a suggestive smirk.
“With pleasure.” Kangin said before scooping Leeteuk up and throwing him over his shoulders, carrying him all the way up to their room on the top floor.
“Oh man. They’re at it again.” Yesung said, shaking his head.
“Damn, they’ll be too noisy again. Looks like I’ll be sleeping in another room tonight.” Yunho said.
“Hey, what are you talking about? Why did Kangin-hyung carry Leeteuk-hyung upstairs like that? Why would they be noisy? Are they fighting?” Changmin asked, innocently.
Yesung and Yunho looked at each other as if trying to figure out who’ll be the one to destroy the youngest male’s innocence. Neither looked willing to take that responsibility.
“Believe me, you don’t wanna know.” Yunho said.
Changmin looked more puzzled than ever and he was about to ask again, but both of his hyungs had already stood up and left him in a hurry to avoid answering any more of his questions.

“It must be the side effect of those painkillers you developed for him.” Yunho said, sniggering.

Leeteuk pouted even more. Then suddenly, an idea popped in his mind. “Kangin-ah~” he whined, looking at Kangin with puppy dog eyes. “Please~”
Kangin frowned at Leeteuk and for a while, it seemed like there had been no effect on him. But after a few seconds, a grin appeared on his face and he shook his head. “And I thought Heechul is the only manipulative person around.” he muttered.
“Fine. I don’t know if it has anything to do with everything but Shindong had just called me a while ago to tell me that Kyuhyun was at the restaurant earlier. Seems to me like he was always in the restaurant the entire time he was not here.”
Leeteuk frowned for a moment, and then his face lightened up as if he realized something. “Well, well, well. I should have known.”
Seeing a smile appear on Leeteuk’s face, Kangin began to understand as well. “I know that smile of yours. That’s the same smile you wear when you’re watching all those cheesy soap operas of yours.” Kangin said. “Come on, you can’t seriously be thinking that he can really be bothered with that sort of dilemma.”
“Why not? There’s hardly anything else that could be bothering him. Besides, it seems logical.” Leeteuk said.
Kangin sighed and said, “Ah, youth these days. So, what do you want to do now? Play cupid?”
“Of course.” Leeteuk said, winking at Kangin. “I’m not called Angel for nothing.”
“You’re unbelievable.” Kangin said, shaking his head.
“Isn’t that why you love me?” Leeteuk responded with a sexy growl.
Kangin grinned at Leeteuk. “You have absolutely no idea.”
Kangin was about to kiss Leeteuk passionately, but the older male placed a finger on Kangin’s lips to stop him. It was evident why. The three bickering males were all watching them.
“Not in front of the children.” Leeteuk said. “Why don’t we take this upstairs?” he added with a suggestive smirk.
“With pleasure.” Kangin said before scooping Leeteuk up and throwing him over his shoulders, carrying him all the way up to their room on the top floor.
“Oh man. They’re at it again.” Yesung said, shaking his head.
“Damn, they’ll be too noisy again. Looks like I’ll be sleeping in another room tonight.” Yunho said.
“Hey, what are you talking about? Why did Kangin-hyung carry Leeteuk-hyung upstairs like that? Why would they be noisy? Are they fighting?” Changmin asked, innocently.
Yesung and Yunho looked at each other as if trying to figure out who’ll be the one to destroy the youngest male’s innocence. Neither looked willing to take that responsibility.
“Believe me, you don’t wanna know.” Yunho said.
Changmin looked more puzzled than ever and he was about to ask again, but both of his hyungs had already stood up and left him in a hurry to avoid answering any more of his questions.
