Ok.
Second attempt. This writing thing takes time.
Yeahh, it's Yunjae, what the hell.
I'm gonna try for some who-did-it, some violence, and a little smutt.
This fic will have small chapters and I still don't know how many.
Summary:
Kim Jaejoong owns a construction company and that forces him to do business with the mafia even if he himself tries to remain within the law. However, some of the mafia men don’t appreciate that and keep threatening him. That’s why he hired Changmin, Junsu and Yoochun who are responsible for his security.
CHAPTER ONE - JAEJOONG INTRO
Kim Jaejoong is a construction company owner with a comfortable life. One small problem: the city is run over by a mafia group and a lot of his business deals force him in contact with them. That’s why he has bodyguards always around him and invested in a house with a high tech surveillance system after a close encounter with death. He himself operates inside the law except for the unavoidable bribe to be left alone on occasion. Currently he’s working on a big project for a new shopping mall and has reinforced his security to avoid any surprises.
A knock is heard on the office door. Jaejoong gives his permission and looks up from the computer screen when he hears the door opening.
-Boss, I have here the files you requested. You were right, they have been trying to put pressure on some suppliers to lower costs.
-Stupid assholes! Why bother building a mall if then they try to collapse it even before it’s built?
-But what can you do?
-Talk with TOP, what else? He’s the only sample of brains those tugs have.
-But Boss, that’s dangerous, isn’t it?
Jaejoong sighed and rested his head in his hands.
-What choice do I have?
Under the apprehensive look of his assistant, Jaejoong turned his computer off, organised his papers on his desk, grabbed his coat and started walking to the door. With another sigh, he looked back.
-Lock everything up. Just go home and enjoy the weekend. I’ll see you Monday.
-O-ok, Boss. Take care. Have a good weekend.
-Thanks, Jun Ki.
Reaching the lobby, Jaejoong was met by two of his bodyguards who flanked him on the short walk to his car already waiting for him. With Yoochun and Junsu around him and Changmin at the wheel, he allowed himself a breath he hadn’t realised he was holding. It still made him smile how people always assumed those guys to be just pretty faces.
-Home, Boss?
-No, Min, drive me to TOP’s club.
His guards looked at him sideways but said nothing. During the drive, the business man closed his eyes and tried to relax.
-We’re here, Boss.
The four walked to the entrance with matching steps. To anyone watching they almost looked like actors or idols in their crisp suits and handsome looks. To a trained eye, however, it was noticeable the hidden guns and the edge to their movements, one false move and they were ready to attack.
The club bouncer was a trained eye and he stepped in all his muscle glory right in Changmin’s path, halting the three men behind him as well.
-Do you have an invitation?
Changmin looked up and offered his best smile.
-Good evening. Mr. Kim Jaejoong to see your Boss. I think he is expecting us.
They were escorted to a corridor on the back of the club, all doors looked identical but a guy bigger than the outside bouncer stood in front of one.
-Only Mr. Kim is allowed in.
Jaejoong didn’t enter. He just moved enough to stand next to Chagmin instead of between Yoochun and Junsu.
A few moments passed. A voice from the other side of the door was heard.
-He can come in with one suit but no gun.
Changmin promptly handed his gun to Yoochun and opened the door for Jaejoong, giving him an encouraging smile behind the back of the muscle guy.
Inside the small office, TOP was sitting at his desk while another guy was splayed over a sofa on a corner, gun on display.
-Ah, Mr. Kim. To what do I owe the pleasure?
-You said you wanted your mall to be built properly. That you would not cut corners on construction safety. You stood right in my office telling me you chose my company because I have proved myself honest over the years.
Jaejoong forced himself to continue. TOP was showing no reaction and he knew he couldn’t show fear.
-I was almost killed once because I refused to build according to one of your dog’s stupid ideas on cost control. I do my best to stay away from your guys deals. I do my end of the bargain when we do have a contract. The construction works I’ve done for you offer no problems and grant you compliments. The buildings under your dog’s ideas are always in constant need of repair and bribes to officials to remain standing. I swear some day you will have one of them collapsing on the people inside.
TOP lifted his hand up as a signal for the business man in front of him to stop.
-Who?
-Park Ri Ho.
TOP made a few phone calls and his blank expression remained. However his last words on the phone had Jaejoong supressing a shiver of fear. He could swear he heard the mafia guy order someone to be punished. “Does that mean he ordered Park to be killed?”
-Mr. Kim, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I apologise that I was not able to prevent this but trust me that it will not happen again. You can carry on at ease. Nothing will interfere with our contract or with your suppliers again.
The mafia guy stood up and moved to shake Jaejoong’s hand, who was trying to keep his face as calm as possible. Changmin took matters into his own hands and gently grabbed his boss elbow while bowing to the mafia guy. Jaejoong allowed himself to be directed to the door.
-Ah, Mr. Kim. Speaking of dogs. I have two Sherman Shepherds at home, my five year old son loves them and they are the gentlest creatures with him. Some time ago a thief tried to visit my house and was nearly killed by one of them. Dogs are a good thing, you should consider getting one.
Jaejoong froze for a second and hurried to bow goodbye. “Ok, it is high time I leave this place!”
-Funny thing is, I could never find out which of the two dogs did the attack.
Understanding dawned on the business man’s face and TOP nodded with a smirk.
Jaejoong almost run for the car. Only his pride kept him walking.
The car drive was silent. It was only when the business man found himself inside his house that he was able to breath properly again and stop shaking. His conscience was screaming at him that he may have gotten a man killed. He had no way of knowing if that was how TOP would punish someone who went against his orders. His bodyguards watched from a distance how their boss practically collapsed on the sofa.
Yoochun and Junsu exchanged worried looks and turned to Changmin who ignored them. Seeing no more reaction from his boss, the driver walked to stand in front of him and coughed. Jaejoong kept his face hidden in his hands.
-Minnie, did he mean what I think he did?
Changmin sighed to the cute whiny voice of his boss. He knew his boss mocked them as pretty boys which to him was a mystery since in front of him was the prettiest man he ever saw. Also a very brave man that could stand his own in a fight but that detail Changmin would never admit out loud. Especially when right now he was acting like a lost little kid. Changmin nearly face palmed when his boss lifted his head up showing a full on pout.
-I have so much depending on the construction of this mall. Why those assholes have to always interfere? And how can that jerk call himself TOP and claim to be the mafia boss when he can’t control his lackeys? But I can’t… I mean… How can I build something that I know isn’t safe? I had to try and do something. Oh, God! What have I done?
Jaejoong buried is face in his hands again.
-What happened? - Asked Yoochun.
Changmin sighed yet again. -One of the mafia leaders, Park Ri Ho must have been acting behind TOP’s back and was punished for it. We don’t know how.
Junsu gulped at that.
-But TOP gave us a warning. Park might not be the only one with the same ideas and TOP can’t prevent them from seeking revenge even if now they will have to follow the contract. And even if they do attack, unless we can name who it was, he can’t do anything.
-Damn, Boss, I agree with you. That TOP guy really is incompetent! -Junsu quipped with an upset face, which earned him a comforting smile from Yoochun.
-Well, guess that means we have to upgrade the security measures. - Added Yoochun with a practical voice.
-I’m off to bed. Can you guys take care of that? - Asked Jaejoong while slowly going up the stairs.
-Boss, what about dinner?
-I’m not hungry, Changmin.
The driver shivered at that. “Blasphemy!”
Soon the house was quiet. The three bodyguards reviewed the security, made sure the other guards were on the alert and went to bed as well.
…
In the master bedroom Jaejoong sat at his bed annoyed at his life. The room was filled with mirrors that reflected his tired and worried face back to him. Even after a hot bath and his favourite silk pyjamas, he was on edge.
“Those dogs!” He passed a hand over his face. “I bet they think I’m weak. The bullies at school would always assume the same just cause I look like this.”He could fight, he had done it often enough during his school days. But after the attempt on his life he decided to be a mature business man and get bodyguards. Today was one of the days he hated his face. He knew he had hired three pretty guys because of that. So he wouldn’t stand out so much. “Just my luck the company my father left me got me involved with bigger bullies, couldn’t he own a mango business or something?”
The exhausting day finally won him over and Jaejoong went to sleep. The slight breeze from the balcony door played with the curtains and would let the moonlight shine on the sleeping form. The pink lips and long eyelashes stood out against the pale skin and dark hair.
This was the sight that greeted a pair of eyes.
