"Someone's ending up dead tonight then." she counters, a terribly empty threat—even with as dangerous and skilled as they both were, Seulgi wasn’t sure she could ever lay an ill hand on him. she cared too much. but it was in her ridiculous threats that she showed that; to anyone else in lotus that she wasn’t as fond of, she hardly bothered. it was serious glares and dangerous words that showed when she was really angry. this, however? not worth being anything more than a little agitated over, and even that she could quickly let go of.  Although, that didn’t mean she wasn’t going to let it go before that ten seconds (and quite a bit over) was up.

Seulgi steps over to Jongup, standing right in front of him as she looks up at him, a glare in her eyes that was quickly given away by a light smirk at the corner of her lips. The most she dares to do is gently bump his shoulder with a fist, even lighter than when she usually makes playful attempts to deck him in the arm on sporadic occasions.

This week was filled with exciting adventures and unique events. The next couple of days were going to be very different from the daily routine of boring paperwork and incessant meetings. He had taken a couple of days off at work and to his own surprise was granted them. For once, his superiors showed understanding and appreciation for his involvement with the future of the city.

With his bag thrown over his shoulders, Jinki made his way to the garage where one of the biggest events he was organizing himself would take place in a couple of days. He had contacted several local organisations and shops to join forces in the fundraising events, but without much success. Most organisations were already involved in the large-scale events such as the yard sale or had already some agreements with another charity project. Luckily, the good-hearted owner of Lunar Mechanics had come up with the fantastic idea of a car-wash at his place.

“Jongup-ah, where are you?” Jinki called when he opened the front door of the car shop.

The garage was a total maze to the lawyer assistant, even after the several visits he had paid in the past couple of weeks. The metal thud in the back of the shop betrayed the younger’s location. Jinki found him underneath a dark car, working on whatever car parts were located at the underside of a vehicle.

“Hi Jongup-ah,” he said with a large grin on his lips. “I brought something you need to see.”

EVENT UPDATE! 

@jupmi

this was not the first gang member he had been hired to kidnap in his life- and youngjae doubted it was going to be the last. it was just another job to him, he didn’t like getting mixed up in gang business all too much because a lot of them had friends and liked to try and send their people after him. so, he always made extra sure to be careful whenever he went after a gang member, making extra sure that most of his face was covered, mask covering the lower part of his mouth while the hood of his plain black jumper was pulled up to make it even harder. 

the guy was currently tied to the chair in front of him in the middle of the room, bag over his head just because youngjae had felt like it. and because he wasn’t too sure about the drugs he had used on the guy would keep him out of it for the right amount of time. (he was trying out a new supplier and he wanted to be extra careful.)

“Don’t give you what? I’m trying to keep your ass from being set on fire.” the words are hissed lowly, eyes calculating as she studied her companion, lips falling into a scowl. She didn’t want to believe what had transpired, but she wasn’t going to sit around and be naive, either. It seemed as if ages had passed since Eris had nearly lost her own place in Black Lotus, facing Hyoseong’s fierce, unforgiving eyes and the gun she held the moment she was caught with the blood of another member on her hands. Had she not found the evidence that was in question, she wouldn’t be standing here berating Jongup for his own actions.

“I know you didn’t do anything.” the words were carefully said in a way that told him she knew, to make sure he was aware—but it wasn’t as if Eris would try to bring him down; no, he was a valuable member and asset to the group, and perhaps she was fond of him as family; but the case was, she didn’t want him to be hung for a quick decision.

She could only hope that neither of them would be questioned. The member died in an accident, and that was it.

As time passed, Eris grew more and more concerned with the amount of numbers that were dropping all across the Lotus ranks—this had never bothered her very much before, but it was when those that she associated with often and worked alongside were disappearing. The pessimist in her assumed they were all dying or dead, that there was nothing that could be done to fix it.

It happened every so often, and suddenly, it bothered her that it hadn’t seemed to be much of a topic of concern.  Perhaps it shouldn’t have been to her, considering she was often cause for the disappearances of others without batting an eye, without bothering to look back. But that was business.

This seemed more of a threat to the circle she held close, a threat to the entirety of their establishment. 

She was thinking too much, taking in a deep breath to quietly let out —all she needed to be concerned about right now was making sure her car was running well and to tune and fix things that were needed. Although...stepping into the familiar shop was a constant reminder of a particular missing person, Jongup.

She had grown use to working with other mechanics, but that would never be the same—she couldn’t get under their skin, step on their toes, or run to them if she ever came into a particular tricky situation and needed an extra set of hands without raising the concern of superiors.

They didn’t matter to her. She could care less.

With her car keys in hand, Eris stepped into the shop, prepared to deal with just ‘whoever’ was available, but she was stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of a terribly familiar figure. There was no mistaking the defining features for anyone else—he was back.

And she wasn’t sure exactly how she felt about this 360 turn of events.

“Where the hell have you been?”

random starter for @jupmi !

Well, she certainly wasn't a thief, that was for sure. If she ever took something that didn't belong to her, it was always an accident. Unfortunately for her, this just so happened to be one of those times. When she spotted the object on the ground, she quickly glanced in search of someone who might have dropped it. Honestly, she knew that she would have to figure out who it belonged to, someway, somehow. Though, she also briefly considered that this might have been some sort of gift from the heavens, finally rewarding her for being the good, pure soul that she was.
