The Bad Or The Good?

Wait, this is the big family he was talking about?

"If this is your family, then what is this place? An orphanage? A shelter?"

"You can call it that. It is a home to all these kids."

They went and sat down on a nearby bench and Taehyun took a deep breath before starting to talk.

"I became the leader of the gang when I was 16. My father gave me this shelter when I was 18 and only my elders know about it."

"So you run this organization?"

"I'm just continuing what my forefathers used to do."

"But where do you get the money from?" Naeun asked and a sudden feeling of happiness and sadness rose in her. Happy that poor and helpless people are being taken care of and sad at the fact it was being done by the bad people, not the good ones.

"It's not new is it?" Taehyun began. "The rich spend money like water and waste it like its nothing and there are people who can't afford to pay their electricity bills. People dying every day of hunger and poverty and parents throwing away their kids because they are considered a burden. While on the other side the rich are growing money like grass and eating it for food. This is where the Bulletproof gang steps in. We steal money from the rich and give it to the poor. The kids here, as soon as they turn 18 are given a fair amount of money to live and manage the rest of their lives but mostly they want to work for our gang because they are grateful to us."

"So you kill people to save other people?"

"We don't mind killing worthless lives for useful ones. This shelter is the Busan branch. 20 more are situated across Korea, 15 are in China and the other 50 are all across Asia. I've made other reliable people the CEO's but the kids know me as a good donator."

"Is this why you hide your identity?"

"Yeah," replied Taehyun.

"So the people here don't know you're a gangster?"

"Do you think they'll treat me the same way if they knew?"

Then getting up they both went and sat down in his car after bidding the kids goodbye. The car ride lasted a whole hour and it was dark when they reached Taehyun's house. As soon as Naeun layed eyes on that house her jaw dropped. It was beautiful. She had seen many mansions in her life but this was nothing compared to it.

How many houses does he have in total?!

"Is this your house Taehyun?"

"Yes."

"It's beautiful. How many houses do you have?" She asked wondering how many there could be.

"It's better if you don't know, but for now this is my main house."

They entered the house and Taehyun left for his room after ordering the maid to show Naeun her room.

Naeun splashed water on her face and looked up in the mirror. She was looking confused and bothered. Bothered because of what Taehyun had shown her.

Why, from wherever you look at it, is he right?

She again splashed water on her face and this time looked serious and robotic when she looked up in the mirror.

"But KIA is always right. Focus on your mission Agent 007 and put these useless emotions aside."

Naeun sighed and then decided to go and find something to eat. She didn't know that for the first time she was the wrong one.

10 minutes later,

10 minutes passed and Naeun still couldn't find the kitchen. Every door she opened either turned to be a guest room or a dining room. Naeun opened another door thinking it could be the kitchen but the sight she was welcomed to was not easy to forget. Taehyun was boring into her eyes leaning against the wall. Naeun gulped, blushed, and started stuttering.

Isn't he looking too handsome today? Why is he looking so handsome today? Gosh, stop looking at me!

"D-Did you know I was going to c-come here?"

Taehyun raised his eyebrows and started walking towards Naeun trapping her against the door. Normally if somebody would do this Naeun wouldn't feel a thing but right now she felt a whole zoo in her stomach.

Why can't I move feel my body? I think this guy is planning to kill me soon.

"Well the noise you were making would wake the whole neighborhood."

"Sorry I just wanted to find the kitchen."

"It's 3 doors to the left."

"T-Then I'll be leaving now." Naeun mentally slapped herself for stuttering.

Why the hell am I stuttering!?

"But I don't think I'll let you leave this time."

"Y-Yah! What do you mean!" Naeun said blushing intensely.

"Don't worry I won't do anything," he assured chuckling, and went to the table to pour 2 glasses of wine.

"I know you aren't that type of a guy."

Yeah, you're a total pervert and a flirt...

"You seem so sure."

"Ok...I'll be going now..."

"But I said I'm not letting you go. Here." Taehyun handed her a glass and began sipping his.

"What do you want?"

"Let's talk."

Taehyun led Naeun to his huge balcony, which perfectly displayed a beautiful view of the night sky, the stars as well as the city lights.

"It's beautiful," Naeun whispered staring at the view but Taehyun heard her.

"You are."

Did he learn this from the Internet too? Or did he ask Minjoon to help him out? Nah Minjoon sucks at romance.

Naeun chuckled. She had gone through Taehyun's data before and he didn't seem like a romantic person at all considering his history with girls.

"Why did you show me that place? The shelter house?" She decided to ask that because it had been bugging her for a while.

"Because you are the first one to say that I had a reason for doing what I do."

"I knew that you were a good guy. But after seeing what you do I want to join the gang."

Half right and half wrong.

"Naeun I took you along with me so you could be safe not to involve you in illegal stuff."

"But I want to be with you, to remind you that every step you take is right."

"Fine then," He said and turned to face her. "Tell me about yourself."

"Why do want to know about me? You can ask Minjoon."

"Because I feel like there are many things he doesn't know either. Your eyes may be able to read others but my heart tells me that you aren't happy. Your eyes hold sadness in them."

Naeun stared down at the glass in her hand and started having flashbacks.
