Chapter Text
It was just another day for Lee Taeyong.... or so he thought.
"Time for school." Taeyong groaned as he turned off his alarm clock. It was the 2nd week of high school. Senior year. Taeyong couldn't wait for the day he would be out of high school and would go to college. He already had everything planned. He already knew what college he would go to, what he would major in, what classes he would take, everything! His life was going exactly how he wanted it to and he couldn't be happier.
Taeyong freshened himself up then put on his uniform. He was about to leave when he noticed his mom had made breakfast for him. At least eat the toast if you're not going to eat the eggs. The note read which his mom also left on the plate. Taeyong decided he would just eat the toast since he wanted to try something different this morning. He would go a different route to school.
It might not seem that extreme but for Taeyong it was. He had this schedule that he would follow every single day and today he just wanted to try something different. He locked the door and began his unordinary day.
Taeyong decided he would take the back way. It was longer but hey, he was trying something new for once. It wasn't too bad as he thought. It was only 7:30 AM and there actually wasn't that much cars compared to him taking the mainway. Then, that's when Taeyong came upon a street he was unfamiliar with. It was dark with graffit on the walls of bulidings and angry dogs barking loudly. Taeyong's hands were shaking but he just kept moving forward hoping he would stumble on one of the mainway streets. He decided that this was actually a bad idea especially since he was not the type of student to be late to school.
Just when Taeyong thought he found his way out, he turned into an alley. There were people smoking and drinking and it all smelled awful. Taeyong wanted to vomit. It was now 8 and if he didn't find a way out in less than 15 minutes then Taeyong would be late for school. That's when Taeyong saw a street that looked brightly lit up that was only a few meters away from him. He thought it had to be the way to the main street. Without thinking he ran as fast as he could. Just when he was almost there, a guy was coming out of one of the dark alleys that was on the right side of Taeyong. The guy was walking straight trying to light his cigar just when Taeyong bumped into him.
"Watch where you're going you little son of a bi-" The guy stopped his words when he noticed the other wearing the same school uniform as him.
"I'm so sorry! I was in such a hurry to get to school that I didn't see you walking out in front of me." Taeyong said breathless from running. He looked up to bow to the other when his eyes widened. The guy had on the same uniform as him. He was tall with black hair and he smelled like smoke which made Taeyong want to vomit once again. He then looked up at the guy's face and he froze. He couldn't believe his eyes. It was Jung Jaehyun, the leader of one the most violent gangs in town. Everyone knew him and was afraid of him. This was actually the first time they had crossed paths and how Taeyong wished they hadn't.
When Jaehyun looked up to see the others shocked expression, he just smirked. He knew he was scared of him, I mean who wasn't? Him and his gang commited some of the deadliest crimes in history but they never got caught which was ironic. Jaehyun knew the guy had to pay. He carefully examined the other. He looked like one of the goody two-shoes type of students. Jaehyun did have to say though, the other was quite handsome. Of course, he didn't like him, but he just thought the guy was good looking. He wasn't in any of his classes he knew for sure or else he would have known by now.
After examining Taeyong, Jaehyun finally spoke. "I'm guessing you know who I am by your expression." There Jaehyun started moving closer to Taeyong which had the other stepping back at the same time.
"You know you have to pay for this, right?" Jaehyun continued smirking while Taeyong stood there terrified. What did the other mean by paying for this? He thought. He tried stepping back somemore when he felt the hard brick wall against his back. Jaehyun was right in front of his face now.
"W-What do you mean by p-pay for this?" Taeyong nerves got the best of him.
"You know what I mean. I'm not just going to let you go after you just bumped into me." Jaehyun crossed his arms. "I'm going to give you two options and I'll let you choose. You either will be my servent for a month doing whatever I say or you can kill this man for me that owes me $500,000 and I will leave you alone after today."
K-Kill someone? Taeyong was terrified at hearing that but he also didn't want to be freaking Jaehyun's servant for a whole freaking month! Killing someone was too much though so of course Taeyong would pick the servent option no matter how much he hated the thought of it but killing someone was just out of hand.
"I guess I'll just be your servant then." Jaehyun smirked.
"I was hoping you would pick the other option but I did need a new servant to boss around lately. Taeyong did not like the sound of that. "Oh before you go, what's your name?" Jaehyun took out his phone.
"Taeyong, Lee Taeyong." Taeyong still a little bit scared looked at Jaehyun's shoulder rather then at his eyes. "Number?" Taeyong then made eye contact with the other, shocked. "For when I need to call you for duties, duh." Jaehyun rolled his eyes.
"Oh. Uh.... here you go." Taeyong took out pen and paper from his bag and wrote down his number then gave it to Jaehyun.
"Thank you. Lee... Taeyong. You can leave now." Taeyong looked down at his watch and noticed that it was now 8:10. He only had 5 minutes to make it to school.
"Aren't you coming?" Taeyong looked up at Jaehyun this time trying to hold eye contact but failed when the other looked away.
"No. I like being late to school." Jaehyun then took out another cigar. Taeyong just strugged and left while Jaehyun just stared at the other while he was leaving. What had Taeyong gotten himself into?
Taeyong finally made it to school. He did arrive 10 minutes late but he promised that would be his only time that would happen. He already went to his first and second period classes now it was time for lunch. Taeyong couldn't wait to tell his best friend Yuta about what happened to him this morning.
Yuta was sitting by himself looking for his best friend. When he finally saw him, he jumped up and smiled. "Taeyong!!! You're here. I was so worried when I didn't see you this morning." He ran and gave the other a hug.
"Yuta, you can stop hugging me now." Taeyong said breathlessly as Yuta was hugging him to death.
"Oh, sorry!"
The two finally sat down. "So, care to tell me where you were this morning?" Yuta looked at the other with a questioning look. Taeyong nodded and began telling him every detail. Once it came down to the Jaehyun part Yuta nearly choked on his orange juice.
"Ok. You're telling me you bumped into Jung freaking Jaehyun, the leader of the Dripping Blood gang aka the most violent gang in town and now you have to be his servant for a whole freaking month!!!" Yuta said this a little bit too loudly which made everyone in the cafeteria look towards the two.
"Shh Yuta! If I wanted everyone to know, I would have just stood on the table and yelled it out loud." Taeyong covered his eyes. Sometimes his best friend was just too much. Just then everyone turned their heads to the doors of the cafeteria.
It was him. Jung Jaehyun, along with the boys of his gang: Johnny, the tall one who was from Chicago. Hansol, the other tall one who was on the quiet side and from Busan. Ten, the one who looked friendly but was actually deadly that was from Thailand. Lastly Mark, the youngest from Canada who got recruited at just the age of 11. Rumor has it, Jaehyun had his gang kill his parents just so he could have the boy in his group and get all of his money.
Taeyong got chills just by staring at them. He couldn't believe he would be the servant of Jaehyun for a month. The things he would have him do he wondered.
"Taeyong I think we should go now." Yuta said with a worried look. Taeyong agreed. Just as the two was about to go, someone walked over to their table. Taeyong looked up. It was Jaehyun.
"Hi my little servant. Going somewhere?" Jaehyun said with a smirk that could make girls melt.
Taeyong felt the room getting hotter. His hands were getting sweaty. He couldn't speak so he looked at Yuta hoping he would get him out of this.
"Actually, we were." Yuta stood up and grabbed Taeyong by the arm just when he was stopped by Hansol. He was blocking the exit of the cafeteria. Yuta looked around and noticed that both him and Taeyong were now surrounded by the whole Dripping Blood gang.
"Now you're not." Jaehyun stepped closer. Yuta let go of Taeyong, the other now terrified. "You're Nakamoto Yuta, right?" Yuta nodded. "You can go. We only want Taeyong." Jaehyun made a passageway for him.
Yuta didn't want to leave his best friend. He looked at Taeyong, who just nodded telling him it was fine to leave. With that Yuta hurried out of the cafeteria.
Now, Taeyong was all by himself surrounded by Jaehyun and his gang. His eyes glued to the floor.
"Look up at me, Taeyong and this is an order." Jaehyun now moved even closer to Taeyong, too close.
As Taeyong looked up at the other, their faces were only a few centimeters apart. Jaehyun had a smile on his face.
"Nice. Now I have your attention."
Taeyong gulped. The other was way too close. He was afraid if he made one movement that they would accidently kiss. That's how close they were. Even worse was that since he was surrounded by the other gang members he wouldn't be able to move anyway if he tried to escape.
"W-What do you want, J-Jaehyun?" Taeyong finally got the courage to speak.
Jaehyun cupped the others facing making Taeyong eyes widened in shock. "Meet me today after school in the gym. Don't worry, it's just going to be the two of us."
Taeyong didn't like the sound of this. Just him and Jaehyun, alone? He finally backed away, pushing the other hands off his face and bumping into Johnny.
"Watch the fuck out." Johnny said fuming. He then pushed Taeyong on the floor. Everyone in the cafeteria laughed.
Taeyong looked up to meet Jaehyun. The other still laughing. If only he would have took the regular way to school today, none of this would have happened. The other finally stopped laughing, Taeyong still on the floor.
"Don't forget, me.... you... after school..... in the gym, ok?" Taeyong nodded while getting up now. As Jaehyun and his gang went passed him, he hurried out of the cafeteria.
