Lets Not Fall in love.

The room was being filled minute by minute with thick smoke. And not by cigarettes. A tall, lank but fit young man sat back with his feet on a sandalwood desk. His cold dark eyes on an older man in front of him, and his dark hair styled in a long, handsome pompadour.
The older man’s eyes were hard. On the outside he showed no fear. But on the inside he was praying to the other beings for strength. He was internally nervous.

‘’This is the second time you’ve failed to deliver shipments for my crew. I had to settle for second best. Again.’’ Started the taller man. He didn’t sound angry, it was actually quite the opposite of what he wanted to sound like. But that was how you struck fear into those who weren’t expecting it.

After he said this, his lips set themselves in a hard line. He chuckled bitterly without making a single facial expression. ‘’You know what happens when we have to settle for second best?’’
This was a trick question.

The taller man raised an eyebrow when the latter didn’t answer him. He knew that the other was tired of childish games. So he rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to speak. ‘’You have to lower the prices.’’

‘’Bingo! We have to lower the prices. I don’t even have to ask you what happens when we have to lower prices ourselves, I lose a shit ton of money. And you should know by now: I don’t play around with my money, or the safety of my crew.’’ He growled. The older man tensed as he heard shuffling behind him. It was hard to put up a façade when there were guns all around you and you were weaponless.

‘’I’m sorry. You know I wouldn’t want to jeopardize your business for such silly reasons.’’ Started the older man. That caused the younger man to laugh out loud. ‘’I get it.’’ He began. ‘’You’re a family man. You have a lovely sister… from what I’ve heard. And she’s got two little ones.’’ The older man tensed. ‘’Mr.Choi.’’ He called, no longer able to hide his worry. The gang had never tracked his family down before. And the thought of putting them in danger was something he never wanted for as long as he lived. ‘’I Beg of you, my family isn’t involved in this.’’

The one named Choi pretended to think about it. ‘’I’ve been real good at not invading personal space. I’ve seen your sister. But I’ve never seen her little ones. But I can easily track them and shut your whole happy family shit down. Don’t let this happen again!’’ He didn’t exactly scream it. But he wasn’t calm about it either.

Even a few of his gang members tensed; in all the years they’d known each other, They’d probably never ben able to get over their leader’s anger.

‘’Alright Ken. You’re a good man. I’m a good man. But a good man can only go so far. And I have my faults. I don’t want to have to hurt you.’’ Ken Chang refrained from rolling his eyes. But he didn’t need the dramatics right now. He stood and prepared to walk out.

‘’You know, Ken.’’ Called the younger man. Causing the other to turn slightly to him. ‘’I hope to be as good of a man as you one day. A family, a beautiful wife and nice family? Yeah.. I’d like that.’’ He smiled at the thought. A small one because large grins were rare with him.
A man beside Choi laughed, he wore a smug grin and held a small pistol. His hair a sunset color. ‘’yeah, and I’m gonna quit gangbangin’ man.’’ He joked. He was pretty much one of the only people not afraid to talk to his leader like this.


‘’Run along now, Ken. Run to your family.. But next time. I’ll make my visit personal.’’
