A few weeks had passed since the day you got fired from the club. So far you hadn’t been sick since that day either. it didn’t make sense but you weren’t going to question it. Something about looking a gift horse in the mouth. The cafe was different than the club you interacted with tourists more and it was a lot less stressful on you. Mino still stopped by every week and it soon turned into every day as the two of you got closer. In fact he’d just come in again and waved at you and you smiled at him holding up your pointer finger to let him know you’d be over in just a moment before heading over to your next customer.
“Annyeonghaseyo, can I offer you some of the house fav- what the hell are you doing here?” You snapped when you realized it was seungri sitting at the table.
“Annyeonghaseyo, do you always speak to customers this way?” He looked up from the drink he had brought with him. Whatever it was it smelled amazing and you found yourself reveling in the scent.
“Mianhaeyo. No outside drinks.” You clipped pointing to a sign on the door and forcing a smile when your boss walked by.
“I’m done with it anyway.” Seungri said tossing the bottle into a waste basket that was several feet away from his table.
“You didn’t answer my question. What are you doing here Lee Seungri? We had a deal that you and your friends would stay away from me and mine.” You told him. Mino gestured between his table and Seungri’s in a sort of questioning way like he was asking if everything was okay. You just nodded and Seungri turned around to look at who your attention was focused on.
“The two of you seeing each other?” He questioned pretending to look over the menu.
“Wae? Even if I am seeing him it is none of your business and while I am on shift it is inappropriate for you to ask. So that will be one chai latte and our breakfast special I’ll get that right out for you.” You hissed then turned your voice cheerful and took his menu as your boss walked by yet another time because you had been at his table for almost five minutes.
“You shouldn’t date people you don’t know. Its dangerous.” Seungri said grabbing your arm.
“So is talking to you, but I don’t see you throwing up any red flags there. Enjoy your breakfast then promptly kkeojyeo.”
“Hyung is there a problem?” Mino had come over and placed a hand on seungri’s wrist. Seungri let you go and you moved to place the order for his table rubbing at your arm where he’d had an iron grip moments earlier.

*************************Mino POV***************************

“Yeah. You know the rules about dating in the cov- company. Stay away from her.” Seungri snapped.
“Wae? its not like Yang really cares about what me and the rest of Winner do. He rarely bothers to come out of his office where we are concerned. She’s a nice girl and I like her so what’s the matter? its not like I am scoping her out like you big bang boys were.” Mino scoffed.
“What we do is none of your business.” Seungri growled.
“Is that what you told Minji? I mean its a bit weird that the last night she was seen alive she was hanging out with Daesung and then the next evening we just find her body wrapped up like a Christmas present right outside the YG building.” Mino didn’t back down. His orders were to keep an eye on you but his mission was to keep you safe. Even if that meant going up against Seungri and the rest of big bang to do it. Hyunseung had his motives for being interested in you, but what he and Seungyoon failed to realize was that minji had been his friend and CL had gotten to him first. The woman was old and she was smart and even though she hadn’t seen Hyunseung coming she knew somehow Mino would get involved and her orders were clear.

“Protect that woman at all costs.”
“Am I supposed to know what woman you are talking about or am I supposed to run around all of South Korea saving women as I see fit?” She’d run out of patience with him and force his head into a nearby desk making it clear that with a flick of her wrist he’d be finished.
“I didn’t ask for you to be a smart ass. I gave you an order. and you’ll recognize her when you see her. she is different and big bang seems to think it is fun to give her and her American friends a hard time.If you need further help finding her look for grey eyes, a wolf and a cherry tree.“ She let him go when she finished speaking and some of the tension left him.

---

He’d Joined Y/n on her morning run one day and seen exactly what CL had been talking about. It covered her entire left side and depicted a wolf beneath a cherry tree howling at a crescent moon with a water color background. When she was dressed for work you couldn’t see it at all but that was the point. As it was Y/n walked over to him after dropping off the order for Seungri who was still glaring at him. She however had an easy going smile on her face even though she looked a little paler than she had before Seungri had come into the diner.

“Does he always act like this around you? I mean I have never seen him treat anyone this harshly.” It was a lie. though he treated other vampires quite well he actually treated humans quite badly before killing them brutally with the others. Given the exception of that one woman he’d seen in Seungri’s memories when he grabbed his wrist. He hadn’t expected his ability to kick in he usually didn’t have t worry about it when he touched people, just objects, but as soon as he’d grabbed Seungri the memory hit him like a freight train.
*****************************Reader POV**********************
“Ne. He’s always like that around me. At first, when he and the others started sitting in my section at the club it wasn’t like that, but now… He’s like that. Being weird about ‘protecting’ me. Look I know this is going to sound crazy, but do you think it is possible for someone to influence what you think or say? Not like mind control because that is ridiculous, but with gestures or something.” You said and took a sip of your drink. He grinned and started chuckling.

“Al-a. It sounds funny to me too now that I think about it.” You said laughing lightly.

“Aniyo. I definitely think its possible, but it is kind of funny you still haven’t noticed the foam.” He said.

“The foa-? Jinjja?” you blushed and moved to wipe it off but he was faster. He laced his fingers in the hand you’d been about to use to wipe your mouth and instead replaced it with his own cradling your head in his free hand vaguely you remembered hearing Seungri groan but the next thing you knew mino was being pulled away from you.

“Seungli-ah! Dangsin-eun mwo haeyo?” You demanded when you realized what had happened.
“I told you. You need to be more careful.” Seungri said.
“Out.” Your boss had watched what was going on carefully ever since seungri came in and now he was at the table with the three of you holding a frying pan and looking every bit like he was going to use it like a baseball bat. Seungri let mino go and moved to leave out the front door. Mino looked at you and straightened your hair out but your boss wasn’t finished.
“Nado. Alex you can come back for shifts and as you please but you bring either of them back and you’re fired understand?”
“Ne, ajhussi. Mianhada.” You bowed to the elder man and walked out the door. Seungri was still there but before Mino could touch him you were in his face.
“What the hell is your problem? You weren’t content just to fire me from the club you had to threaten my job at the cafe too? What part of stay away from me did you miss?” You were too angry to bother with speaking in Korean. Or even care that he might not be able to understand what you were saying. You just knew that part of you wanted to kill him. Fight one predator to another and end whatever this was right here. It was in your cells and synopses urging you to go against him. To go against both of them. They were dangerous to your existence and had you cornered. So why were you hesitating?
“Now do you see why I told you not to get involved?” Seungri said to Mino but his eyes never left yours. The moment was frozen like this just waiting on one of you to make the next move.

Notes
