The boot heels clicked on the tiled floor in the office building of the dangerous mafia as he walked graciously with head held high up while his posture just screams power and dominance, eyes glaring in authority if anyone comes too close.
Eyes cold and hard as he glances around his surroundings, observing everything as to what looks suspicious or unnecessary to be there, while all his workers bowed their heads in respect and also in fear of looking into their boss's eyes or doing one thing wrong because in this business one mistake costs you being either fired Or killed, no place for any excuse.
"Mr Mike" The mentioned male looks up from his work and walks towards his boss in the company and also in the mafia. "Yes sir! "
"Come to my office" Saying that Jacob walks inside his office and sits on his swirling chair as the other male follows him.
"I sent you a picture, go and ask the specialist about what should be prescribed for the marks so that it can heal fast and is less painful when applied." Jacob said, pointing his pen at him as he looked at him with a hard glare.
"And if It still hurts my petal to the point it brings tears in his eyes then consider tomorrow the last day of yours and that doctor's life in this world, understand? " The male gulped and nodded his head instantly.
"Don't worry, West. Your order is my command. I will find the best consultant and get medicine until tonight" Mike said with determination and left after bowing his head.
Jacob takes off his coat as he starts working on his laptop for a while until the evening when he gets the call from one of his mafia workers.
"Sir, we got the male you asked for. " His worker informed him, making a satisfied smirk to pull off on the mafia's face.
"Where is he? "
"We locked him in the basement of the mansion" Jacob leaned back on his chair and hummed.
"Perfect, I am coming"
As the call got cut off, Jacob's eyes darkened as his fist clenched while he glared at nothing.
"Now it's time to have some fun"
And West smirks in excitement.

Jaemin opens the door just as he hears the knock and pulls Noah in a tight hug as he sighs in relief when he feels the younger in his arms, safe and sound.
"Noé, you- you okay?" Jaemin says as he backs from the hug and starts scanning the other, still holding on his arms to support him knowing the male won't be able to stand properly, but to his utter confusion Noah just smiled and hugged the panicked male instead.
"Calm down, Jae. I am fine" Noah rubbed his back and dragged him inside the house.
Jaemin was going to hold his back to pull him inside , when Noah shakes his head at the panicked and concerned male and walks into the house.
"You can walk? " Jaemin asks in disbelief, never in his 3 years of working as prostitute did Jaemin saw Noah walking on his own after spending time with those bastards.
Noah gave a smile and nodded. "I said I am fine, Jae. "
"Noé…." Jaemin let out as he sat beside his best friend and caressed his hair in concern as his eyes were still scanning him in worry.
"You look… not tired at all. What happened? " Noah sighs and looks down. "I don't know either"
"Huh!? What do you mean? Didn't you go for.. You know" Noah looked at him and nodded in understanding the male.
"I know and I did and you won't believe it, but the man didn't do anything! " Jaemin looked confused at his friend, trying to understand what his words meant.
Noah stands and paces in front of Jaemin while knitting his eyebrows as he keeps talking. "Something was wrong with that male. He was acting so-- weird and somehow creep me out when he told me to sleep instead"
Jaemin eyebrows raised up in shock as he listens to his friend. "So he didn't do anything? " Noah shakes his head in denial.
"And he told you to sleep without doing anything? " Noah nodded his head this time in yes.
"Is he still paying you? " Noah nodded again.
"And that's what confuses me. If he has no intention of using me then why did he book me for a whole night and waste his money? " Jaemin looks down in thought while listening to the other male.
"Noé, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your body. Maybe he did something when you were sleeping. Like drugging or maybe he injected something or anything that can happen. You need to check up your body, we will go to the hospital" Jaemin said out worriedly, hands going towards Noah's face and cupping his cheeks.
"We can't risk anything, okay! " Noah sighs and shakes his head. "No Jae, there's nothing like what you said. I don't feel weird or anything in my body. Everything is fine. "
"Still we are going to test your body, just for the sake of your safety. I'm not feeling good about this! " Noah sighs again and smiles at his worried friend and nods his head.
"Ok, ok. Don't worry much, Jae. I am going to meet my brother today so I will also take a test to check up on my body there. Alright? " Jaemin shook his head.
"I will come with you today, I have nothing to do anyways, besides it's been long since I've seen Liam brother. " Jimin said and ruffled the youngers hair.
"Okay, then let's go" Noah smiled big and held his best friend's hand, intending on dragging him when Jaemin pulled him back.
"Hey wait. Don't you want to rest? You just came" Jaemin asks and Noah chuckled. "No, I am fresh. I told you I slept the whole night. " The older one just nodded.
"Wait, Jae. What's that… " Noah called as he walked closer to Jaemin with a frowning face as he pushed his chin sideways and stared at the thing that caught his eyes.
Dried tears stains.
"What's wrong? " Jaemin asks in confusion.
Noah glaces back at his eyes and that's when he paid attention to the unusual puffiness in his slightly red eyes and also the bags under his eyes. He inspected his face, the older one looked tired and worn out. Like-- he's been crying and not sleeping all night.
"Jae… '' Noah let out weakly, his hands trembling on Jaemin's face who looked alert at the sudden tears that gathered in Noah's eyes.
" Hey, baby, what's wrong? Is it hurting somewhere? Are you hiding something from me? Noé, say something you are making me worried " Jaemin again cupped the other's cheek as he saw the tear roll down Noah's cheek while he kept staring at Jaemin with deep sadness.
"Have you eaten anything yet? " Noah asks instead as he wipes his tears. While Jaemin frowned.
"Um.. Why so suddenly? " Noah hugged him tightly as he buried his face in his shoulder.
"Noé, what's bothering you? You're worrying me" Jaemin stroked his hair as he patted the younger's back to comfort the distressed male.
"I'm-- I'm just h-hungry" Jaemin chuckled. "I know you're a food lover but to this extent that you're even crying for it? " His voice holds amusement as he pulls back to see the pout on Noah's face who hit Jaemin's head.
"Stop teasing me. I have not eaten anything and I am sure you didn't either. So let's eat first before we go to the hospital" His voice holds the hidden reason behind his sudden hunger as he drags Jaemin towards the kitchen who looks at his back and smiles.
Realizing what Noah was trying to do and knowing the younger doesn't like to share his feelings nor he expresses it through words rather in actions, Jaemin decides to stay and let the younger do what he wants.
“Now come on, make food for me!” Noah orders as he sits on the countertop while he pushes Jaemin towards the stove and picks the strawberry container and starts munching on it.
Jaemin narrowed his eyes at him as he crossed his arms against his chest. “I am not your servant. If you want to eat, make something for yourself!” he playfully bantered and snatched the container from Noah who was enjoying the sweet fruit.
Noah smirks as he gulped the strawberry in his mouth, “Oh really! Are you sure you want me close to the stove? Don’t blame me after if I burned down the whole house.” he said as he hopped down the counter and stride towards the kitchen, stopped by Jaemin who stood in front of him blocking the way.
“Wait wait wait! Stay where you are! I swear if you touch anything then no food for you ok!" Jaemin instantly threatens, knowing Noah will literally burn down their house.
Noah giggles as he snatches the strawberry container back from his friend’s hands and starts munching on it.
“Ha! Told you”
Jaemin groaned playfully as he backed inside and started preparing for the light breakfast while Noah was sitting on the kitchen counter eating strawberries.
Noah smiles softly as he stares at his friend, concentrating on making breakfast for them and sighs deeply.
What would I do without you, Jae?
Noah hopes down the counter and walks towards Jaemin, as he hugs the male from behind and dorkly says. “ You remind me of Liam so much, you know?”
“He always used to make food for us and I always used to sit on the counter and watch him making yummy dishes for us, sometimes helping him too,” Noah said as he pulled away from the back hug and starts helping Jaemin who stares at the longing but a soft smile on Noah’s face.
“Liam also used to worry too much about me…” Noah glances at Jaemin who was already observing him, listening to him attentively as it’s very rare that Noah was pouring out his emotions in words “Just like you, Jae” he says softly to the male.
“I am very grateful to you for making me feel like home and - and sometimes replacing my brother's presence to comfort me.” Noah looks down.
“Just know if anyone is more precious and close to my heart after Liam, it's you.” Jaemin Smiles and rubs the others back as he nods his head at the awaiting male who sighs as he felt happy to let out a bit of gratitude and adoreness he felt for Jaemin who is just like brother to him.
“Making me emotional and all, huh!” Jaemin dramatically wipes his tears, feeling Noah getting a bit awkward after sharing his emotions so he cheered him up.
Noah rolls his eyes and gives the paste he was making to Jaemin and huffs, “You are a drama queen.”
He laughs along with Jaemin who gave him the other simple things to do which Noah happily helped with and they made the delicious breakfast together and ate while dorking around and simply enjoyed their time like usually they do whenever they are together.
Jaemin smiles, feeling contented as he sees Noah smiling genuinely, even if it's not a permanent smile but it is there at least and he is happy for now.

“Sir, we are here” the driver announces and Jacob gets out of the car walking inside his Mansion he barely nods at the close guards and workers who bowed at him and straight went towards the basement.
He saw his three men standing outside of the door and walked closer.
“ West.” his men greeted and bowed.
Jacob nods in acknowledgement. “Is everything ready?”
“ Yes, Boss”
“ Are you sure it's the right man?” his men once again nodded.
“Ok now tell all the guards to leave the basement. I want no one to be inside, is that clear?” West Ordered and he smirks walking inside, glancing at the male who was sitting in between the room on the chair tied up with the cloth in his mouth also bit beaten up as dried blood was on his temple.
Jacob felt his forehead vein pulsing as his hands felt tingly, the face of the bastard reminded him of the whimpers and tears of his Petal and the rage consumed his senses and all he felt was the thirst of Revenge.
His voice boomed and echoed into the basement as he said loudly….
“Welcome to Devil's heaven”
