you were once powerful. your gang was rising through the ranks at phenomenal speed and you were getting richer everyday. until you were approached by the highest ranking gang in the country: ateez.

their leader, hongjoong, and his right hand, seonghwa, offered you a deal you could not pass up. an alliance that provided never ending supplies to each other. in return though, you were to be their princess. you, obviously, didn't hesitate to agree.

since then, you were given THE princess treatment; you practically didn't have to work because of how much money seonghwa and hongjoong were making. of course they didn't mind because they adored you. at first, you were in it just for the alliance, but the two started to grow on you. you started to develop feelings for them both. but how do you tell someone you like two people at once?

one night, you were unable to sleep because of the noises in the basement. sighing tiredly, you climbed out of bed and trudged down multiple flights of stairs until you got to the basement. it was humid and muggy and reeked of blood. you go to the farthest room on the left and open the door, initially catching the attention of everyone in the room, making them freeze in place.

"princess, what are you doing out of bed?" hongjoong asked from the table next you, a cigarette between his bruised fingers.

seonghwa approached you, shielding you from the beaten men behind him. "sweetie, go back to bed, okay?" he said softly while placing a sweet kiss on your forehead.
