@b andy Oh, he hated her with such a passion. Ever since the bull that Rose..., Andy had pulled in the hospital, Hoseok’s mother decided to text him everyday to ask him how she was. No matter how many times Hoseok had been indignant on the fact that, no, Andy was not his girlfriend nor fiance, so he had zero idea as to how she was doing, Mrs. Jung refused to believe him.. He hadn’t even messaged her since he had come home from the hospital due to not caring to update her and being severely annoyed by her little prank. He blamed this on why he would potentially /never/ get a girlfriend at this rate, as if he were even looking in the first place. He just wanted someone else to blame that was not himself.

Though, Hoseok had many reasons to be frustrated with Andy and her decision to claim that she was his fiance, the next thing was the top of the cake. His mother called him regarding a trip that his family took every year since he was a kid. Of course, over the years, their place of stay became more comfortable with his being able to provide as well. Each year, they would go to the mountains, typically in the summer, to do things like hike, camp and swimming in the nearby lakes. These trips always made Hoseok feel his most relaxed. But that would change with his mother’s request. To bring Andy.

And if he didn’t, he wouldn’t hear the end of it.

Thus, he found himself at the cafe, only agreeing to meet with her to bring up this one thing. Honestly, Hoseok had no idea why she wanted to see him, other than to be a pain in his . He hated seeing that smug look on her face each time she was present. “It’ll only drag on long if you allow it /Andy/,” he said with an emphasis on her name. Was she Andy? Was she Rose? Even if she were Rose, he had to get used to calling her Andy for the sake of not getting in trouble with his mother. “My problem? You told my mother you /weren’t/ my fiance then?”His brows shot up in annoyance. He knew exactly what problem she spoke of, but as far as he was concerned, he didn’t have a problem with a hit on his head.

“Let me get something straight with you,” Hoseok’s voice dropped as he too leaned in to make sure others couldn’t hear. “You did that on your own accord, first off. So I don’t owe you regarding something that was saving /your/ from getting in trouble. Secondly, you owe me a whole lot more than that. Sure you prevented my lights from going out, but you cost me a ton in hospital bills. And you still stabbed me. Lastly, you got me into deep ing with my mother. And I am getting sick and tired of hearing how bad of a son I am for not telling her about my /nonexistent/ fiance.” Hoseok leaned back again, now that he was finished discussing the illegal matters. His arms crossed tight against his chest, his sneakered foot tapping as he tried to best phrase his next thing.

“As far as I am concerned, as long as you drag out your lie to my mother, I can’t get rid of you. And I would much prefer to be away from you and have that be that. So, next week. Clear out whatever stupid slasher schedule you had. I am being forced to bring you on my family’s trip to the mountains. I am only indulging my mother’s harassment regarding this because I am not trying to look like an in her eyes, and I want you to convince her yourself that I am not engaged to you.” Hoseok stood up rather quickly, looking at his phone for the time. “Just do this one thing and leave me alone. I’ll see you at my place at eight in the morning on Monday. If you don’t show, I will find you and drag you there myself.”

@j hoseok He didn’t strike her as the type to have a girlfriend. Which woman wanted to be with a man who might end up ing her once she breaks up? Of course, he left that gang but that didn’t mean anything. “Wouldn’t she sit here by your side?” She retorted. His words were stupid and she ignored what he said the best she could. the fun out of everything? It was quite fun to the life out of someone’s body. Andy grinned. More so about her own thoughts than his face but that didn’t matter. 

“Hm.” She hummed. “Maybe I’ll take care of you once all petals are dry.” While roses were some sign of love between lovers, the thorns of the roses probably fit more to her slicing bodies open. One could never know what was beneath a pretty appearance. “Am I some sort of welfare now?” She snorted. He was right though, her job gave her quite a stable financial basis. It was mainly also the reason for her not working outside the gang. Why force herself to do something when she was well-off already? Sadly, she hadn’t found any real passion yet aside from her job which was most probably due to her not doing much else since they started training at the age of eight. There had just never been time for her to question anything.

Andy ignored the dark flicker of his eyes that Hoseok threw at her. She could have easily eased the situation for the male, why would she though? Playing along was much more fun and as she hadn’t gotten her fun yet with killing him, it almost seemed far to mess with him this way instead. “I can’t believe that you didn’t tell your mother.” His mother seemed to be a kind woman even with the way her actions and words seemed slightly exaggerated. Andy watched the whole scene as if it was some reality show taking place right in front of her eyes. Hoseok’s mom didn’t believe him and it amused her how frustrated he was over that matter. Once his mother didn’t look, being too busy calling him her little-boy and checking on his body, Andy blew an air-kiss into Hoseok’s direction, a smug expression gracing her face. She hid it right before the mother turned into her direction again.

“I’m really sorry but I have to leave for work right now. It was lovely meeting you, Mrs. Jung! I hope that Hoseok will properly introduce me once he’s out of the hospital.” 

****            

She had hunted him down, the life out of his body with a stab to his heart. Adrenaline had rushed through her, the long-awaited sensation that she hadn’t had due to Hoseok knowing of her code word and saving himself. At least, killing this man would now set her free from the favour that she owed him. It was the exact reason why she had messaged him to meet her at the cafe in town. Somehow it had surprised her that after the incident at the hospital he had actually agreed to meet her. Either way, it was good this way, she’d be off her debt and they could both simply leave each other alone.

The man already sat at one of the tables of the cafe. Andy ordered something to drink before joining him. “Good job, you made it here. “ She said as she sat down on the chair opposite to his. “Let’s not drag this on for long.” Andy leaned in closer to whisper as she, obviously, didn’t want anyone to hear what she was about to say next. “I got rid of your problem, the one getting you into that situation with me. We are square now. I repaid the favour.”

Donghyuck hummed softly as he moved around the bakery, getting things ready to open. He hurried back when the oven went off. Muffins were done. He hummed and set them out, nodding. "Alright..."

Donghyuck inhaled softly as he managed to scrape together the monthly payment for those jerks... He sat quietly in the back office of the bakery, running his hands through his hair. He might end up having to fire a worker or two to be able to get the payment for next month... Even though business has been really good. Bills, groceries, rent... It all impacts it. He set the envelope of money on the desk in front of him and sighed. "Alright... I might actually get to live another month..." He said quietly. Mentally cursing his parents for dying before paying off their stupid debt.
