Love/Sacrifice

"I miss you..."

"I miss you too, Reese. When will you come back?" asks Sun.

"Tomorrow perhaps. Can't be too long. I have some deadlines to finish," Reese replies in a soft voice. She might be talking in such a tone. But, behind the scenes, it's different from what she portrays.

Reese is in a vault, surrounded by firearms, a target board, and a file containing information about the clan's next target. While talking to Sun, she's busy checking her gun.

"So, can we...?" Sun clenches his teeth. He wants to ask Reese for a date. But, he feels too shy about it.

"Can what?" Reese smiles. She always finds Sun cute when he gets shy or stutters like this. Like a curious cat who begs to be pet.

"Never mind..."

"Are you asking me for a date, Sun?"

Sun gasps. He drops his phone on the bed, grabs a pillow, and smothers his face on it before squeaking.

"Sun, are you there?" asks Reese.

Sun quickly grabs back his phone and sighs.

"I'm here. I'm here..."

"Why are you still hesitant to ask me for a date?" Reese inquires Sun.

"I don't know. I mean, I'm afraid you might feel..."

"Feel what? Offensive?"

Sun shuts himself. He doesn't mean that, but somehow there is a nervous tingling inside him that makes him too shy to ask.

"Sun..."

"Yes?"

"You don't have to be so timid. I'm your girlfriend, and there is no way I'll say no to you..." Reese smiles while holding a Magnum in her hand. "Unless you told me you wanna meet another girl. That, I won't be tolerant," her voice suddenly changed. Her gaze is getting deeper and more dangerous.

Sun on the other line, slowly feels shivering inside. He recalls the time when Reese's brothers spilled the information about her; an ex-special op member, firearm specialist, etc.

Sun can't imagine how Reese would look if she got mad.

"Girl? Having you is hard enough for me. How can I dare to see another girl?" Sun replies to Reese with a vague laugh.

"So, you say I'm too much for you?" Reese inquires.

"No. I mean, you're a simple girl. And I love you for being you. But, come to think about it... Our path in this relationship is hard..."

"I think it's normal. It's not that hard... At least, not yet," Reese stares at the ceiling of the room.

"You sound scary, baby. Should I prepare for the worst?" asks Sun.

"Sun?"

"Yes?"

"Did you just call me baby?"

Sun shuts himself. He too, doesn't realize.

"I...I..."

"I love it. It's sweet..." Reese replies.

Sun feels the heat on his cheeks. Luckily, it's a phone call. If they were talking face to face-, he doesn't know what to do.

Sun might end up jumping into the ocean.

"I... Think... It's late... I'll call you again tomorrow?" says Sun. He tries his best to control the sensation in him.

"Let's meet tomorrow, how's it?" asks Reese. Sun almost jumped from his bed. But, he controls himself because he is still on call with Reese.

"Okay... Let's meet up!" says Sun, voice full of excitement. Reese smiles in vague when she hears that.

"Goodnight, Sun. Sweet dreams, okay?" says Reese. Sun quickly cuts the call before he gets shy even more. He grabs his pillow, smacks his face onto the fluffy fabric, and screams.

Reese stands up, still holding the black Magnum in her hand. She slips the gun into a gun compartment on her waist and grabs a soundproof headpiece. After she dons the headpiece, she grabs the gun and shoots the target board; 100 meters away from her.

When she's done entertaining herself with the gun, she changes it to a semi-automatic. The same drill. Shots after shots.

Her face is suddenly solemn.

"Young Master?" a voice from the intercom wakes her up. She quickly turns around and places the semi-automatic on the table.

"Glocker needs to get checked. It's kinda stuck a bit. The rest is good to go," Reese informs the personnel via intercom. She undid the headpiece and walked out of the room.

On her way to her room, she sees her reflection through the long metallic wall.

The face of an heir of a mafia clan.

All of a sudden, Sun's voice resonates in her ears.

I hate mafias!

Tears slowly fall from her eyes. As she stares at her reflection, her heart is aching so badly!

How can I tell you, I am the person that you hate the most?

Reese quickly wipes away the tears, wearing her serious face, and keeps walking towards the exit.

"See... When you have power, you can own everything in this world!"

Taesan almost slaps the man's mouth so he can stop the loud voice that contaminates the aisle. His eyes give the man a sharp glare.

"Just look at me! I drive a nice ride and eat only premium food. Drinks only exclusive wine. Like this!" Yuno shoves at him the wine bottle. Taesan grabs the bottle, out of courtesy.

Why do I agree to this in the first place anyway? He questioned himself.

They arrive at Yuno's accommodation after a long stretch of hardship along the way from the banquet hall to here.

"We're here!" Taesan shrieks in happiness. Half pretended, half true. He pretends to be friendly, but at the same time, he feels glad that they managed to reach the room.

Finally!

"Wait, are you leaving?" asks Yuno. He pulls Teasan so the man will be up close to him.

"It's getting late. And you're drunk..."

"Says who?" asks Yuno. He smirks at Taesan, making the man suddenly feel insecure.

"Hyung, you can't even stand properly..." Taesan lets go of a faint laugh. Yuno stretches his body up and lingers his finger along Taesan's jaw.

"We're flirting with each other all night, and you gonna leave just like that?" asks Yuno. His hands linger around Taesan's waist.

Shibal, this is way too much! Taesan screams internally.

"It's not that I wanna leave..." Taesan looks down at Yuno's chest, and then he brings back his sight upwards. "I think we should wait until you're sober..." Taesan's eyes linger around Yuno's sight.

"I don't mind doing it while I'm drunk..." Yuno replies. His lips crook up a bit. "Besides, I'm not really that drunk, you know. Me and booze are best friends," softly, Yuno plants a kiss on Taesan's lips.

"Some things can be done while drunk..." Taesan stops Yuno from getting more closer than he is now. "I don't think sex is one of them. At least not for me," he continues as he tries to set himself free from Yuno's embrace.

However, the hug is getting tighter.

Taesan can smell the danger.

"We never know..." Yuno says before he leans closer to Taesan's ear and whispers. "Unless if we try.."

The door clicks open and Yuno drags Taesan inside while his lips are busy eating Taesan's neck. The man grunts in upset and tries to escape but later he remembers the purpose of his flirting with this shibal sekiya all night.

By hook, or by crook, Taesan has a mission to fill.

Taesan's body automatically responds to Yuno's touch. He pushes the man on the bed and unbuttons his white shirt. Taesan takes a glance at Yuno. His horny face almost makes him use foul language, but he has to hold it so he can get the information about the ranch.

Somehow, under the moonlight, Yuno's unpleasant face slowly fades from Taesan's sight. Those evil eyes changed into the naughty, sweet, and sassy eyes of someone that he longed for so much.

Taesan can't control himself. This is way too easy as he expects it will be.

Yeah, keep projecting that feature, brain! Taesan praises his mind.

He dives into Yuno's embrace and starts indulging in what he can eat, as much as he can. The voice of panting from Yuno's filthy lips slowly faded. Now, all Taesan can hear is the sound of sweet grunts that he missed. He pins the body on the bed, jerking up his body and taking a glimpse of the face.

I think the booze works so well! No wonder why Yuno likes it so much! Taesan smirks.

"Hyung... Would you like another sip of wine?" he suddenly asks.

"Sure..." Yuno smiles between heavy pants. Taesan, being a gentleman, stands up from the bed and walks straight toward the wine compartment. He opens a new bottle, and slowly pours some wine into the glass.

Yuno stretches his hand so he can grab the glass. But, Taesan swats his hand away. He takes a sip of the wine and slowly leans closer to Yuno. The man knew the game, so he pulled Taesan by his neck and connected their lips. Taesan slowly feeds Yuno the wine from his mouth. The dirtiest kiss he had ever done in his life.

A few seconds later, Yuno falls on his back in bed. He is now dropped, but not dead. Taesan wipes his lips and smirks. He leaves the unconscious body and straight away grabbing something from his pocket.

A white capsule.

With a glass of water, he drinks the antidote before the sleeping pill reacts over his body. He needs to stay awake and escape from the room quickly.

While Taesan is dressed up, his phone blinks. There is a link, sent to him via encrypted text. It was from Jackson.

Two tickets to the wine exhibition at Rigid Ranch. Black VVIP pass.

Thanks, pal... Taesan replies in short. He leaves the room in a hurry, grabbing a key from his pocket. While on his way downstairs, he picks up his phone and makes a call.

"Yarh, what do you want?!" the person on call sounds upset.

"Ji Hyung... Let's meet up! It's urgent..."
