Narcissistic

Zesn, was created before 'D' by ZouMi. To ensure the safety for her family, and also not mingling underworld with company, ZouMi made a deal with her Master, Master Mo. Many of the students from his institution are enrolled in the list of bodyguards, they're molded to be tough, strong and ruthless. One can take down twenty at once, that was what Master Mo was capable of.

ZouMi assigned bodyguards for her family are the members of Zesn, and also hers. This is hidden for the word, Su's and Lui's are the two from seven, the rest are from other states. There is only one among the seven, she didn't know the identity, and she didn't even care. That was just for her family, the rest all was to cover up.

'D' wasn't her plan at all, she just wanted to protect her family, that was why she created Zesn, but one thing escalated to other, and she found herself in the pool of blood, stepping her foot in underworld and created 'D'.

Many snipers, assassins, hackers were taken down before they could touch her family.

"Hello! Earth calling ZouMi. You're there?" A distant voice called her, bringing her back to the reality.

"Mm. Yes." In daze, she hummed.

"Hey! Beauty, stop drifting in a parallel world, while looking at my face."

"Beauty?" ZouMi heard compliments since her childhood, with her handsome hunk dad and her out-standing beautiful mother's genes, she admits that she is a breathtaking beauty, so does her sister and her brother. But something happened, near the area she long back sealed, packed and created walls of iron. Like a strike of iron on iron, the word hit her cold heart, melting the iron cage across her heart a bit.

"What? Don't tell me you're hungry for compliments." Gu Huan teased her.

"Why? Is there any problem? A beauty like me is meant to be appreciated."

"Narcissistic." He leaned closer to her and pinched her slender nose, dumbfounded by his own action he quickly retreated.

ZouMi tried hard to ignore the urge to close her eyes, when ever they've a skin contact, weird images, scenes and emotion haunt her the moment she close her eyes. It's hard to resist, but she still tries.

"How are you going back?" ZouMi asked.

"May be public transport."

"Why? Didn't I assigned a driver for you?" Gu Huan nodded his head. "Then why did you take public transport? It's dangerous." Unbeknownst to her, her voice dripped with concern, it felt like sweet honey fill his ears. Gu Huan stair at her longer than usual, after his maternal grandmother's death, no one spoke with such concern to him, well, his Ah Ji is excluded.

"It was late, and I didn't want to disturb the driver." He bluntly replied. ZouMi sighed and shook her head, amuse smile crept on her face.

Ring!

Ring!

Gu Huan phone went off, "Hello." A sweet familiar voice was heard.

"Ah Ji, why aren't you sleeping? It's so late."

"You weren't in your room, so I called you. Where are you? Are you fine?" Mother Sid asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. Now go back to sleep, I'm coming."

After he hanged up, he made a contact with ZouMi's curious eyes.

"What?"

"Why do you call my mother 'Ah Ji'?"

Gu Huan chuckled, at the silly memory.

"I used to call her Aunt, but Uncle An, didn't want me to call that. His reason was…" He imitated Father An's voice, "What? Why are you calling her Aunt, call her sister or something else. She is way to younger to be called Aunt."

ZouMi chuckled, readily nodded, that surely sounds like her dad, silly and unreasonable.

Gu Huan was mesmerized by her sweet chuckle.

"You should smile more, that suits you." He commented, not knowing the impact of his words left on ZouMi, who didn't know how to react.

She cleared her throat, "Okay, you're sober then me. You drive." She handed him the car keys, and they both boarded the car.

On the way to highway, ZouMi rolled down the window and let the cold breeze hit her. She finds peace in the breeze, for her night is the best thing ever happened. In the darkness of night, one hide their tears, one hide their feeling, one wants to hide from the talks they heard all day. And she was the latter one. Suddenly she had the urge to visit her favorite place, the lake, which had seen her crying, to laughing and being numb.

Martian bridge was silent, with no life on it, occasionally one or two cars would pass by them.

SWOOSH!

ZOOM!

CREEK!

Back to back ten cars over-took them, ZouMi looked at the cars, they were luxurious cars.

"Drunk, spoil rich fools." ZouMi mutter under her breath and shook her head, in annoyance. From the corner of her eyes she saw Gu Huan's hand clutch tightly on the staring wheel, his eyes emitting familiar fire, glued on to the road ahead. ZouMi smirked, today was surely going to be a fun night for her.

Gu Huan looked forward at the road, his palms itching and moved towards the gear. Changing the gear he accelerated, overtaking two cars.

Drift!

Skeeel!

Drifting at the narrow edges, voice of tires rubbing on the road, numerous luxurious cars on highway race on full speed. The bend turn ahead caused Gu Huan a little hard, but he tried to overtake and reduce the speed. Thinking of the cars behind him, he dropped the idea and floored the accelerator.

"Fuvk, are they fool? Planning to die or what?"

"Shot, the bend here are slippery."

Communication behind them were heard.

The car's which Gu Huan overtake were now ahead of them, he was frustrated.

"How long has it been, you stepped on the field?" ZouMi's pleasant voice fell on his ear.

"I don't remember, may be five years." ZouMi chuckled. More and more cars overtook them.

Gu Huan frowned, he remembered his skills weren't this disappointing, he just had not been trained for few years, ZouMi saw anger and frustration in his eyes.
