*****************************Reader POV**********************
“Autumn! Autumn! Where’s Lillie? We’re leaving.” You told your friend when you finally made it back to the bar.
“What are you talking about? I thought you were still on shift.” Autumn gave you a confused look.
“Well apparently not. Ke sekki just fired me and ordered me and you two to get out and not come back.” You snapped then grabbed onto the counter when you started to feel woozy. You’d lied to him when you said you hadn’t been sick. You’d been lying to everyone. Telling them you were okay and hiding in the bathroom whenever you would cough up blood or food would make you sick. it wasn’t an easy thing to hide as it kept getting steadily worse. Doctor’s visits were coming up with nothing and had just told you to increase your iron intake and start adding protein supplements to make up for the food and blood you were losing.
“Gwaenchana?” Hyolin had walked over to where you and Autumn were standing when she saw you fall.
“Ne. I am fine. Can you pay out my tips? Seungri just fired me.” You asked her forcing a smile to your face and grateful that the lights were so dim here.
“Mwo?! Over a broken glass? Jeongmal?!” She demanded getting angry on your behalf. You wondered what you did to be so lucky to have these friends.
“He said it wasn’t about the glass. Can you just get my tips and I will talk to you about it some other time. Maybe we can meet at the cafe tomorrow. It’s my day off.” You said.
“Ne. Naeil bwayo. Don’t forget.” She replied before handing your tips over.
“Lillie is over there with Taeyang. I will go get her and tell her what’s up.” Autumn told you before walking off. You hadn’t realized that by over there she meant back at the table with Seungri, Jiyong and the others. By the time you had it was too late.

“You. What’s your problem?! It was just a stupid glass and she even cut her hand and you just fire her like it doesn’t even matter?!” You heard it clearly over the music and before you could even really take a step you were at the table but you were slumped over from dizziness and felt like you had to cough. Shit. you thought to yourself.
“Autumn that’s enough. He had his reasons. I told you to get Lillie not to cause a scene. You two go on. I will catch up.” You ordered weakly between breaths, but Autumn started to argue.
“I said go, Autumn, Now!” You felt yourself get stronger and Autumn and Lillie both flinched before Lillie was sliding off of Tae’s lap and pulling your other friend by the arm.

“We’re leaving. Don’t bother with that last paycheck. Consider it an apology for Autumn and an agreement that we all stay away from each other. ulineun geolaeleul haeyahabnikka?” You said formally forcing yourself to stand up straight and ignoring the others. It was a bold move not looking at Jiyong or Seunghyun. Of all of them, those two had the seniority and definitely posed a bigger threat, but it definitely made your point. Of all of the men at this table Seungri was the only one you trusted to keep his word.
“Geolae.” Seungri said flatly. From the looks the others were giving him this was just the beginning of his troubles for the night and he still couldn’t shake the feeling that his brother wasn’t too far away.

---

You left the club a few moments later stumbling a bit when you finally got outside and making a break for the alley so that you could vomit without Lillie or Autumn seeing. You’d taken the back way for that very reason and were headed to the parking lot for your car when you realized your friends were waiting for you.
“You’ve been lying to us.” Lilly said flatly.
“Yeah. I’m sorry. I just didn’t want you guys worrying about me back in Atlanta. Also you can’t tell my mom about this. She can’t afford the flight here and there’s no need to worry. It’s just food poisoning. Doctor said I would be better in no time. I’m not even contagious.” You said and gave the two of them a smile. You did feel much better after getting outside and away from the crowd.
“If it’s just food poisoning why did you lie? And what was up with that in there? You know it is bullshit that he fired you and you can’t afford your medical bills, your grandmother’s bills, your schooling and your rent just working at the cafe. You know that Alex.” Autumn demanded.
“Look Seungri… all of big bang really, there is something off about them and according to Seungri whatever it is it has something to do with me. That’s why he fired me. He said he was keeping me safe. I thought it was a load of crap but maybe it isn’t. Can we get out of here? You can be mad at me back at the apartment. Something doesn’t feel right about being in the open like this right now.” You pleaded looking around warily. You thought you caught a glimpse of something by the side of the building but it was gone before you had time to process it.
*********************************Seungri POV*********************
“You fired her?!” Jiyong demanded getting out of his seat.
“Ne. It was for her own good and ours.” Seungri said taking a swig from his drink.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Youngbae asked siding with Jiyong like always.
“CL didn’t tell you what we discussed? I would have thought she’d tell you anything.” Seungri scoffed.

“Leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with your soft spot for humans.” Jiyong spat.
“Soft spot? You think I have a soft spot for them? They’re fucking cattle! All of them. Just waiting on us to rule them like gods, bed them for a night or drain them dry like juice pouches. Which we’ve done in abundance. I’m sick of it Jiyong. I was sick of it almost half a century ago!” His emotions were heightened. It was like someone was toying with them. Almost like Jiyong’s ability but not quite and if it had been Ji he wouldn’t be screwing with his own emotions. No. Someone else was doing this and Seungri had no doubt that whoever it was they were helping Hyunseung.
“Just say it! you aren’t sick of the blood and death that follows us! You’re sick of us. its why you ran away like the coward you are! Just run away again. Its what you’re good at.” Jiyong spat and the anger boiled over in Ri. He punched the older vampire in the mouth busting his lip. It was just the thing to snap Dae and the others out of it. YB held Jiyong back when he lunged for the youngest member and Seunghyun grabbed Ri by the back of his neck.

“That’s enough! Can’t you fools tell someone is screwing with the two of you?” Daesung snapped moving in between the two of them to give them something else to focus on.
“Doesn’t matter. They didn’t make us say anything we haven’t been thinking.”Seungri replied defeated.

“Ri you know I don’t really want you to leave. You’re my best friend. I didn’t mean it.” Ji tried to tell him.
“ ye. dangsin-eun geugeos-eul uimi haessda. Just tell the truth Jiyong.”
“I meant it, but you have been so distant for the past forty years since you lost that human I don’t know what to think.” The words flooded out of Jiyong with out him calling them forward and he glared at Seungri.
“Yah! Lee Seunghyun what the hell was that?! We never use our abilities on each other. We promised. You know what? Ka. get out of here until you calm down.” Youngbae shoved at Seungri until he was away from the rest of them.
****************************Hyunseung POV***********************
This was working out better than he’d expected. He’d even found more members of the coven that were all too willing to betray the coven because of how his sire ran things. So what if his brother and his old friends refused to help him. He’d handle Hyun Suk then he would take care of those five traitors. They all deserved what was coming. That waitress Y/n might be a problem or she could be an asset. It was still to early to tell how his brother felt about her but seeing as how she was someone the others were fighting about she was definitely more useful to him alive than she was dead. At least for the moment.
“Hyunseung, I think they caught onto what I was doing. Mianhada.” one of the people who’d joined him had similar abilities to jiyong except he wasn’t strong enough to create emotions just manipulate the ones already there. He walked up to him as soon as Hyunseung had entered the club and bowed.

“Gwaenchana. You did what I asked. They’ll be to busy focusing on each other to watch out for me now anyway. What about the girl?” Hyunseung asked with an amused smirk as he watched his brother storm out of the club and the others started sitting back down at their booth. They were on edge now. Good. That was exactly the way he preferred them. They were sloppy and weaker when they were like this.
“Mino is following her. Jinwoo said that her friends are going to be leaving for the U.S. within the week. She has a grandmother who is dying of cancer and her mother is back in the U.S. as well. As far as we know she doesn’t know anything or have any real relationship with Seungri at this point. The other American, Lillie, was casually seeing Taeyang, but it isn’t serious enough for ijeom. Y/n’s been working three jobs to pay the bills and she really can’t afford to lose this one but after she sliced her hand open your brother just fired her.”
“Mwo?”
“Ne. that’s why her friends just caused that scene. He fired her and banned them all from the club. There is something off about that waitress though; I could have sworn that she was by the bar when her friend Autumn was yelling at Seungri.” Seungyoon mused.
“They’re still sticking to that same M.O. I see…. Wait. What did you just say about the waitress.”
“she was by the bar when her friend started off on Seungri?” Seungyoon replied confused.
“Tell you what. Have Mino get close to her. As close as he can. I want to keep an eye on her.”
“How does that help with YG?” Seungyoon questioned and then a hand was at his throat and he was clawing at it because he could feel the vertibrae in his spine starting to sever. He didn’t have to worry about suffocation but there was no doubt that Hyunseung was strong enough to remove his head if he wanted to and all it would take is his nails ripping to the side from the grip he had.

“Did I ask you to question my motives or did I ask you to get something done? If I want someone to test my patience I will go to my brother. Alda? Keojyeo and don’t forget what I said about keeping all of this quiet.” He tossed the other vampire to the side like a rag doll and went back to his drink with that deranged grin plastered to his face.

************************Reader POV (the next morning)********************
“Is there any way you can give me more hours here? Ahjussi, please. Halmeoni is still very sick and I just lost one of my jobs.” You pleaded with your boss at the cafe. It was your off day and because of what that jerk did last night you were having to go around to your other jobs and beg for more work.
“Ne. I should have a few more hours that you can work. I also had a dish washing position open up. I was going to put the ad in today but if you are willing to take it that would save me some trouble. We will discuss it further tomorrow.”
“Jinjja?! Kamsahabnida Ahjussi! Kamsahabnida!” You bowed and then went over to the table where Hyolin was waiting.
“Mianhae I was trying to make other arrangements.”
“Gwaenchana. I can’t believe Seungri just fired you. He usually leaves that type of thing to Myongjin. Did you do something?” Hyolin asked.
“Ani. I just broke the glass. It doesn’t make a bit of sense.” You refuted then cluctched at your head as a shooting pain went through it.
“Y/n-ah are you sure you’re okay?” She asked concerned.
“Ne. I’m fine. I just have a migraine.”
“Ili. Take this.” A guys voice piped in and you looked up to see his palm outstretched and a bottle of ibuprofen in his hand.
“Gomawoyo.” You thanked him and looked up to see a polite but slightly nervous smile like he’d expected you to tell him to get lost.
“Oh hey you’re that guy from Winner right? Song Minho?” you said as you recognized him.

“Ne. We’ve actually met a couple of times around here but you’re usually working. Sorry I interrupted your breakfast with your friend.” He shrugged and adjusted his hat. It was kind of cute.
“Not at all. Actually Y/n I am going to get going. I hope you feel better.” Hyolin said getting a funny look on her face.

“Mwo? I’m not… you don’t… aiiish am I that obvious?” He tried to protest to her and failed miserably.
“Ne, but if it makes you feel better I will pretend this wasn’t a cheap way to flirt and take the medicine anyway. You’re welcome to sit down.” You mumbled out and pointed to Hyolin’s now abandoned chair.
“Nan…. I heard about what happened last night. Hyung. He can sometimes be impulsive. I can talk to him if you want though.” Mino said after it was obvious that the medicine had kicked in.
“Gomawo but I wouldn’t go back there now even if he begged. You’ve been by the club before? And I have seen you here a couple of times. How come this is the first time we’ve met?” You asked making conversation.
“Actually I was just trying to find the right time to come over.” He admitted sheepishly.
“Mwo? why would there need to be a right time? I work here.” You laughed and took a sip of coffee.

“because… nan naega joah.”
