"Daniel" Hudson greets once he catches sight of the Doctor walking over.

Daniel offers a shy smile, no matter what his plan and intentions were he was still bashful due to how he had been acting the last time he saw the group. Giggling like a maniac, sobbing like someone had died, throwing up and then clinging to the nearest man like nothing more than a koala to a tree. He shivers at the thought and as he stares into the group's eyes he knows that they haven't forgotten either.

"What are you doing up here? Shouldn't you be down there?" Channing questions as he points to the arena.

"I'm on a mandatory break" Daniel answers sheepishly. "Apparently, I need to rest because I've been overworked" He sighs.

"Resting isn't something bad" Taesoo Ma states firmly as he takes out a cigar and immediately lights it. Daniel wasn't sure about the smoking rules within the CC but he knows that the Founders would not be pleased.

"I guess you're right," Daniel sighs before turning serious and bowing to them. "I wanted to apologise to you all about my actions the previous night. It was unseemly of me" He states clearly but Hudson is quick to stop the action.

"You were drunk and It was my fault it happened. In the end, nothing horrible occurred so let's be thankful for that and put it behind us" The blonde remarks and Daniel nods.

"Still…I get so embarrassed whenever I remember how I acted" Daniel lifts a hand to feel how hot his neck and face had become. "Especially when I started clinging on to you, sir. It must have been annoying" He peers at Taesoo before averting his gaze.

"It's fine, it wasn't your fault and in all honesty, I didn't mind it" Taesoo was quick to answer. The rest of Public gives him confused looks.

"O-oh" Daniel gaped before clearing his throat and attempting to maintain a steady head despite the sound of the man's deep and guttural voice as well as the words he was saying. "Do you guys mind if I sit with you? Is that seat free?" He asks. Channing looked annoyed but Jacky was giving a thumbs up.

"Of course, you can sit with us," Hudson smiles.

"It's a free country, sit wherever you want" Taesoo grunts as he takes a drag only to choke once he feels a body pressed up against him and sits on his lap.

Hudson, Jacky and Channing's jaws dropped open at Daniel's action; they couldn't decide whether or not he was stupid or crazy. Probably both. The three weren't the only ones to notice the scene as many others became invested in what they were witnessing, which in all honesty with what Daniel was doing was it fair enough they were all becoming confused or interested in the sight.

"Is this alright?" Daniel asks, peering up at Taesoo through his lashes. "You did say I could sit wherever I wanted" The First Generation King takes a moment to register the words but once he does he barks out a laugh.

"You second generations are braver than I thought you'd be. Yeah, yeah you can stay" Taesoo grunts as he shifts Daniel until he's sitting across his lap properly, so that one arm was wrapped around the younger man's waist and the other could hold his cigar properly.

"I must say, all this muscle and meat is useful for something. You're much more comfortable than a cold, hard, chair" Daniel remarks as he allows his hands to pat the man's densely packed thighs.

"You don't have to hold back you know, if you're going to try and seduce me you might as well give it your all. Don't be shy" Taesoo grunts as Channing lets out a squawk of indignation.

"Sir! We're in public…and Hudson looks uncomfortable" Jacky hisses as Taesoo snorts.

"Uncomfortable?" The scarred man challenges.

Daniel lifts his gaze from Taesoo over to the blonde who had been watching the two. His face was red and his mouth was still open, his body was tense and his hands were clenching and unclenching. By all accounts, from his position and body language, he should be uncomfortable watching the guy he had been trying to romance get close and personal with the man who was technically his mentor. Yet it was his eyes that held a different sort of heat, one that lusted to see more of what was going on.

Hudson Ahn was turned on.

"You're fine with this, aren't you?" Daniel asks Hudson from his position tucked under Taesoo's chin and leaning against the bear of a man's shoulder.

Hudson nods, a small and subtle movement but permission nonetheless. Channing and Jacky are in disbelief but Daniel takes it with stride. The Doctor starts tracing up and down Taesoo's shirt, the dark button-down was tight yet thin, it did nothing to stop the heat from seeping through the fabric and it barely held together with how wide the man was. From up close Daniel could see how the shirt and its buttons strained with every breath he took in. Splaying his hands against the man's firm stomach he slowly slides it upwards to cup the man's chest. A chest that was much bigger than anyone else's he had seen before.

Daniel smiles at the soft weight under his fingers and to take it even further he locks eyes with Hudson as he squeezes the pec gently. It was a nod towards their first conversation together and the blonde also seems to realise it as he swallows his saliva harshly.

Taesoo was unphased as he continued smoking. The smell was horrid but for the sake of his act, he ignored it.

"You're done pawing at me like a kitten yet?" Taesoo asks.

"Nope, I don't think I'll ever be" Daniel hums in contentment as he tucks his nose into the man's neck and continues fawning over his impressively powerful body. Now this was the body of a truly seasoned and hardworking fighter. Taesoo chuckles and Daniel doesn't miss the way it feels to hear the rumble against the man's chest.

Several more minutes go by and people slowly get used to the erotic display and turn away to give them some privacy. Although if Daniel wanted privacy he would have dragged the first gen into a closet so he changed directions.

"How do you even smoke that? I've heard that cigars are even fouler than cigarettes" Daniel mentions. "All that tobacco will ruin you" He hums as he eyes the little object between the man's thick fingers.

"I guess It's just something I've grown accustomed to," Taesoo grunts. "A pretty thing like you shouldn't get addicted to something like this" He adds.

"Oh, Jichang said something similar as well when I asked him about his smoking," Daniel muses.

"Jichang? Do you mean Jichang Kwak?" Taesoo seemed more attentive at the mention of the name.

"Yes, do you know him? It felt like an eternity ago when he offered me his cigarette to let me have a go before he laughed in my face when I coughed and choked on smoke" Daniel pouts. "I only wanted to give it a try to see what all the hype was about" He sighs.

There was a pause from Taesoo when suddenly his hand around Daniel's waist shifted.

"Do you want to have a go with a cigar?" He asks and Daniel lifts himself off the man's chest to stare at him with an innocent look.

"Wouldn't I just have the same reaction?" He questions but Taesoo shakes his head.

"You'll be shotgunning it. Just trust me and do what I say and you'll be fine" Taesoo quickly explains the process and Daniel nods obediently.

Daniel moved from his position, turning fully so that his legs were straddling the man's waist so that he would have easy access to the man's face. Being able to see the intense scar on Taesoo's face up so close was breathtaking, especially since it looked so intricate and interesting. Once he's satisfied that the Doctor got the concept, Taesoo takes a long drag of his cigar and Daniel watches intently.

Soon he pulls it away from his lips and gently pulls Daniel closer. The Doctor opens his mouth just as Taesoo does and as one blows the smoke the other breathes it in. Their faces, their lips were so close together that it felt as if Daniel was going to kiss the man yet he only focused on the smoke. The few seconds felt like hours but once he pulls away it's to a satisfied grin on Taesoo's face.

"Not half bad" He compliments and Daniel smiles, pleased that he was able to accomplish it. "Want to go again?" Taesoo asks, shifting his hip upwards as he adjusts himself on his seat. The movement was enough for Daniel to feel the half-hard monster that was starting to wake up in the man's pants.

In spite of the reaction, Daniel's eyes are drawn away from the man and over his shoulder. In the darkness, up the row and all the way to the back where the entrance to the seating area stood a figure. Watching with an incandescent look before the person turns to leave.

"I'm sure Hudson would also love to learn" Daniel smiles, catching them off guard as he lifts himself from the lap, leaving the tangle of limbs to stretch his body as he stands. "I need to use the restroom, I'll be right back" Without a further glance back, Daniel was quick to exit the floor.

His abrupt departure leaves many things to be desired but he pays them no mind. Instead, he hurries out into the corridor, looking left and right before he catches sight of a person's broad back slipping around the corner. Daniel runs to catch up and just as he turns a hand shoots out to grab him but the collar of his shirt. Instantly he's being dragged and even though he knows who it is it doesn't stop the Doctor from fighting.

"Gun, you're hurting me! Let go!" He gasps when suddenly they reach an empty, more secluded hallway. It wasn't far from the entrance to the seating area and the roar of the crowd could still be heard. Hell even James and Goo's commentary was echoing through the walls but that didn't stop Gun.

Slammed against the wall, Daniel stares up with fearful eyes as Gun glowered down at him.

"Gun? What's wrong?" Daniel asks and the man snorts, devolving into a harsh laugh.

"What's wrong?" He repeats Daniel's words. "Are you seriously asking that?" He sneers back and Daniel whimpers.

"Gun, you're scaring me" The younger replies.

"You should be scared" Gun nods before letting go but locking the younger in his place as both his hands slam down against the wall on both sides of his head. "Do you know how disgusting it feels to watch an employee of the CC whore himself out to the fighters each night?" He starts off and if it weren't such an accurately painful description of what he had been doing he probably would have been offended.

"You just can't get enough attention, can you? Burn Knuckles to Big Deal, to God Dogs and now even Public and a First-Gen King? Did you enjoy feeling him up and grinding down on his lap?" Gun growls and Daniel huffs.

"Why exactly do you care? You were the one who said we weren't exclusive, remember?" Daniel crosses his arms, leaning back against the wall as he sneers at the elder. "I also remember you distinctly mentioned that someone like me could get any person I wanted just by asking them with my pretty face. I guess you were right on that account" He sighs.

Gun's expression pinches into irritation.

"What are you trying to say?" He grits out.

Daniel pushes himself off the wall so that he is even close to Gun. Reaching up he fixes the man's collar before brushing his hands down his chest.

"What I'm saying is that really you have no claim over me. If we really were just friends with benefits then this wouldn't matter. Let's be honest Gun, you don't give a fuck about the CC's reputation and you wouldn't care either if it were someone else pulling this shit. So why the overreaction when it comes to me?" Daniel blinked innocently at Gun whose brow twitched in annoyance.

"You were trying to make me jealous?" He grunts, everything clicking into place.

At the sight of Daniel's coy smile, Gun received all the answers he needed. Pulling away from the wall he starts pacing the hall. He mutters curses at both himself and Daniel which was not the reaction the younger had been expecting. Maybe he was hoping they would both admit they were idiots and profess their love. Instead, all he hears is an aggravated and conflicted growl.

"Gun?" His facade was falling, he didn't feel so confident or cocky anymore. Right now he was worried that he may have ruined everything.

"You're right, you can fuck whoever you want because we're not in a relationship" Daniel hears Gun hiss to himself when suddenly he turns back to the Doctor. "But if you think I'm going to let you get away with the scheming you've been doing then you've got another thing coming" The elder sneers before grabbing Daniel by the throat and dragging him forward.

Startled and not suspecting the movement, Daniel stills as Gun starts devouring his lips. The tongue inside his mouth, the clacking of teeth and the Founder biting and sucking bruises against his lips. Despite its ferociousness, Daniel couldn't prevent the shiver of thrill from running down his body. Ripping himself away, Gun's animalistic grin does nothing to reassure Daniel of his safety.

"You want to be a slut so bad, fine" Gun grunts as he starts unbuttoning Daniel's shirt before shoving a hand straight down the younger man's pants. There isn't any foreplay or delicacy, Gun was there to fight whether it was through sex or not. Daniel's cock jumps to life as Gun starts fisting the member, he had never gotten so hard so quickly and it didn't help that even without any lube, Gun was still just as skilled. His dry hand was rough and it almost hurt but for some reason, Daniel enjoyed it.

"A-Ah! Gun, slow down!" Daniel told him to slow down, not to stop but the elder didn't listen. Instead, he shoves a couple of digits into the Doctor's mouth and orders him to suck before taking the saliva-covered hand and shoving three whole fingers straight into Daniel's hole.

Had it not been for the crowd outside, Daniel's shocked shout would have been heard throughout the CC. Daniel's legs were spread shoulder-width apart, one of Gun's hands was furiously pumping the hard member whereas the other was pistoning into his slowly expanding hole.

Gun shoves his tongue down Daniel's throat before tracing it down and biting into his neck instead. He leaves an array of marks, all varying in different places and intensities.

"G-Gun, I'm going to cum, please!" Daniel whines and that was all Gun needed before he pulled his hands away and turned the body around.

Palms against the wall, back bent over so that his ass was sticking up, Gun didn't provide any other warnings other than the sound of his zipper coming undone before he's shoving the entirety of his own length into Daniel. The Doctor howls just as the crowd roars over something occurring in the arena. Gun doesn't wait for the other to adjust before rocking his hips back and forth, harsh and fast, the kind of sex that he enjoyed and was used to.

Gun lets out a guttural moan, taking hold of his own pleasure without a care of the other.

"Fuck, such a nice cunt you've got. Too bad you're such a desperate slut" Gun degrades as he watches the way the bright red hole expands to suck him in every time he thrusts in. Just the image of Daniel's round, perky ass vibrating every time Gun's body slapped against it was enough to have him leaking copious amounts of pre cum all inside the younger.

"Ah, Gun, more!" Daniel cries, clawing at the wall to keep himself upright. His knees were shaking and his hips felt like they were going to break but he continued taking the abuse all because it felt too good. His own cock swings helplessly between his own legs, a dripping, wet mess as it was neglected.

"You like this, don't you? You love being fucked in a public hallway, ready to be seen by anyone and everyone. You're moaning like a prostitute because you want to be caught being speared by my cock, don't you?" Gun growls as Daniel sobs in ecstasy.

Unsatisfied by the answer, Gun reaches forward and grabs Daniel by the hair, pulling him up. Pain courses through Daniel's scalp and he lets out a cry of pain yet the grip nor the thrusts subside.

"Answer me, you like it don't you?" Gun barks out one more time and Daniel keens in agreement.

"Yes, I do, I like it so much, I do!"

How no one could hear them was beyond Gun but he didn't care either. This version of Daniel, depraved and willing to obey was so different from the spitfire that liked to argue and be a little brat. Yet he enjoyed it.

"Fuck, such a good little slut, so good" Gun moans and Daniel himself groans.

It doesn't take long before eventually the movements grow quicker. The pressure builds until eventually, Gun is biting into Daniel's neck to hold back the grunt as he cums. Daniel squeals, his body seizing around Gun's cock as he shudders out his own release.

It takes a moment before Gun lets go of the man's neck, breathing hard as he stares down at Daniel's ruined form. His back was littered with marks and cum staining the wall and inside the younger man.

Suddenly footsteps were heard and both tense. There isn't enough time to dress or run as the person turns the corner to where the two individuals are. Daniel lets out a nervous gasp but hands quickly hold him down and still.

"Excuse me but if you want to fornicate then I suggest you do it at home" The voice calls out. Fornicate? Who the hell says fornicate?!

Gun shifts Daniel's body so that the person, whoever it was, can't see him in all his nude glory. Luckily for Gun, only his tie was a mess and his pants were unzipped. Gun turns his head, glaring at the person, a security guard, with an open snarl.

"Leave" He orders and the guard gapes as he registers who he's talking to.

"Sir! I didn't realise it was you!" He shouts in open disbelief at the scene.

"I don't give a fuck, you're going to turn around, walk away and pretend you saw nothing. If I hear anything about this I'll make sure you'll never find another job again. Now scram!" Gun threatens and the guard nods before bowing and rushing off.

Letting out a sigh of relief he backs away from Daniel, in turn pulling himself out of the boy. Much to his utter lack of surprise, Daniel slumps to the floor, his knees giving out as the only thing holding him up had been Gun.

Sitting on the floor in a dazed silence, Daniel looks up at Gun. His pretty face was red and tear-stained, his lips swollen and his eyes. God his eyes were still lost in pleasure. His clothes were creased and ruined but not as bad as his body. From his own ass was a trail of semen, slowly leaking out. Gun feels himself stirring again.

"I-Is he gone?" Daniel asks.

Gun grunts.

"Yeah, I took care of it" Gun answers before jerking his cock a few times. "Why don't you show me some gratitude by cleaning me up?" He calls. Daniel was slow to crawl over but he was efficient in cleaning up the mess on Gun's cock.

.

.

.

"Daniel, are you alright?" Jacky asks when Daniel comes stumbling back.

His legs were still shaking and now his ass hurt. Actually, his entire body was hurting but it was the good kind.

"Y-Yes" Daniel replies as he struggles to sit down.

He knows he looks like a mess, he didn't have time to check a mirror before Gun was helping him hastily dress and ordering him to go back to the seating area. Didn't even have time to scrape the cum out of his ass.

The others eye him in concern, especially Taesoo and Hudson who notice that he doesn't approach or flirt with them.

"I can't tell if you're glowing or sick," Channing grunts.

Daniel ignores them, neither clarifying nor denying the words.

By default, no one, in turn, mentions the new bruises that had appeared on the Doctor's neck, or how he smelt like sex.

No one notices Gun reenter the VIP booth with a smug look on his face.

.

.

.

"He totally fucked you, didn't he? And you enjoyed how rough he was" Olly questions as he rolls around on the wheely chair in Daniel's office.

"I will neither confirm nor deny" Daniel sighs as he slouches over his desk. "But I don't know if that jealousy ploy was the right way to go about it. I mean all I did was make him mad" The Doctor recounts.

"I mean, that's the whole point of the jealousy plan. You get him mad and then that makes him question himself. The only reason he'd act like that would be because he's possessive over you" Olly snickers and Daniel groans.

"I guess so" He mumbles under his breath as Olly twirls around once more before coming to a stop to look at Daniel.

"By the way, that whole thing you were doing by using the different crews to your own advantage. Smart play. I know the entirety of the CC worships you and the ground you walk on like you're the second coming but I totally didn't expect everyone to be as smitten with you as they are. The hand holding with Burn Knuckles, the PDA with Big Deal, the Whispering with Johan and even the bold lap sitting with Taesoo Ma of all people" Olly grins viciously at Daniel who cowers away from the look. "You could be a total vixen if you really wanted to be" The gang leader points out.

"But I don't want to be" Daniel frowns as he sits up and crosses his arms. "So what do I do now? He knows that I'm trying to make him jealous so is there really any point keeping up this act?" He asks and Olly nods.

"Of course, you continue. Keep casually flirting, not too much, just enough to subtly show that even if you're just trying to rile him up that the threat of you leaving his ass is still very real. It'll make him crack eventually" Olly informs and Daniel is still unsure.

"What if all it does is make him release his anger onto me during sex? Whilst I do enjoy it, it's not very effective for me" Daniel worries but Olly shakes his head.

"Trust me, he'll crack" He promises.

For the following week, Daniel listened to Olly's advice. Why he was taking romance advice from someone who was very single and whose last relationship almost ended up killing him, the Doctor doesn't know. Yet it wasn't as if he could consult with anyone else on the matter and Daniel didn't want to spill his secrets to others either. Olly knowing was enough.

So he flirted. Not to the same intensity as he did with the fighters but still flirting. In situations that Daniel knew would either cause whispers to emerge and reach Gun's ears or in places where he knew the Founder would be.

He laughed and joked around with a couple of the security members who stood outside Gun's office, accidentally brushed hands with the delivery guys who brought the medical resources he ordered through the Founders, batted his eyelashes and complimented the cooks and servers during the times that Daniel knew Gun would come out to eat. More times than Daniel can recall, Gun would drag him away, into his office, into a secluded room, into a storage closet and he would ensure that for the next couple of hours, the only thing Daniel would be capable of thinking about was sex with Gun. Yet each time they were finished Gun would storm away and it would leave Daniel in the same turmoil as before.

Gun would then show up for their night training, since it was back on, and pretend that everything was fine. Daniel of course played along, he wouldn't be the first to crack.

"Sweetheart, are you sure you're eating enough, you look thinner than before" Jihyeon mentions as he places a plate of food in front of Daniel. He was currently in the mess hall getting a hot meal before the Friday fights were to begin. He was back on duty which he was glad about, Daniel didn't know if he could handle another week's worth of rest. "Your mother would be beside herself if she knew you looked like this whilst at work" The woman calls him out and Daniel smiles at her.

"I know I look tired but I'm thrilled to be working again. I promise I'm okay Aunty" He promises and she pats his head, giving him one final look before walking away.

Daniel was quick to shovel the food into his mouth. He kept his phone beside him on the table in case anyone needed to reach him but otherwise, he concentrated on the present. No new fighters were accounted for, all the fighter's medical files had been thoroughly checked, and he had talked to some of the volunteers about changing to casual workers and contracts needed to be drawn up, there were two volunteers who weren't coming that night…

"Mum, I seriously can't believe you're working here, are you sure it's safe?" Usually, Daniel doesn't concern himself with the private conversations of other people but this one was particularly loud and it was occurring not too far away from him. He hadn't even noticed the group having slipped into the mess hall seeing as he was thinking so hard. In fact, the CC wasn't even supposed to be open until another half an hour.

"Yeah Ms Park" Another person, a blonde-haired boy holding a camera, calls. "Even the viewers are worried for you, being employed as staff for a restaurant is one thing but being kitchen staff in the CC of all places? This is crazy" He hisses and Daniel frowns.

"I assure you all that I am fine, I was entrusted to run this place on behalf of a friend, a long-term friend. As you said, I work in the kitchen and there's lots of security around. It's not as bad as any of you think it is" Jihyeon tells the group.

Clearly, Jihyeon had some semblance as to who the group was or else she wouldn't be entertaining their words or the camera that was in her space.

"Are you sure you're not being threatened, Mum?" The first guy asks, his face scrunched up in worry as he looks at his mother imploringly. Jihyeon gives her son a look and he falters.

"Come on Bossman, I don't think your mother would get into scams or fall for threats like you do" The short-haired girl with a yellow jacket laughs.

"I don't fall for those sorts of things!" The son shouts, before mumbling something under his breath. "But mum! Really, here of all places? Right in the building with some of the most dangerous people in Seoul?" He whines.

Hearing enough, Daniel stands up with his empty plate in hand. He returns the utensils and plates and moves to rescue his aunt.

"Is everything okay here?" Daniel calls and the group startles at his presence. So they hadn't noticed him until now, interesting.

"Oh my God, it's him" The taller girl with lighter hair gasps, hands up to her lips as she stares at Daniel.

"Uh…hello?" He says, confused by their silence and staring.

"It's the Miracle Doctor" The blonde boy with the camera gaped, turning the device onto him. Daniel was unsure about being filmed so closely, yes he's been filmed through the CC camera but that was further away and not directly in front of his face. Well, most of the time it wasn't directly. "The chat is going crazy, look at how fast the comments are flying by just because he's on the stream" The male hisses, showing the others.

"Um, I'm going to ask this again but is everything okay here? Aunty, are you alright? They're not bothering you are they?" Daniel directs at Jihyeon as she smiles and shakes her head.

"Oh no sweetheart, this is just my son and his friends. They came by to visit me because they were worried about my new occupation. Although I guess this was why I waited so long to tell them" Jihyeon sighed and Daniel could relate to her words. "Anyways, you simply are the sweetest soul, Daniel. Worrying about an old woman like me and coming to my rescue as they crowd me" Jihyeon smiles as she reaches over and pinches his cheeks.

Daniel chuckles lightly before turning to the group that were still watching the interaction. Zoning onto the son he quirks a brow.

"You must be Aunty Jihyeon's son that I've heard about! It's nice to finally meet you…although It does feel like I've seen you before" He eyes the shorter male critically, taking in the people around them, the camera and the obvious streaming. "Oh! You're Viral Hit! I've seen a couple of clips of you before and your videos come up on my recommendations on NewTube!" Daniel connects and the male grins.

"Oh? You've heard of me?" He was pleased by this. "Of course greatness recognises greatness" He crosses his arms and puffs his chest. The tall man behind him with dyed brown hair kicks his shin.

"Get off your high horse" He calls.

"Owwww, Taehoon let me have my moment" The group were truly a baffling bunch.

"Well apparently since you already know Hobin it would only be fair for the rest of us to introduce ourselves. I'm Rumi, this is Jihyeok, Gaeul, Taehoon, Gyeoul and Mangi. We came by to check on Hobin's mother but also to check out the CC itself" The light-haired female introduced and Daniel tried his best to remember the names and who she pointed to.

"Well it's nice to meet you all but I feel like I should question how you all got in before the doors even opened" Daniel crosses his arms and this time the group freezes. They stare at each other and back at Daniel.

"Busted" The blonde-haired boy named Jihyeok winces.

"Look Miracle Doctor, can I call you Miracle Doctor? Yeah, we may or may not have snuck in but it was all for good purpose. I just wanted to ensure that my mum was safe, that's all. To do that we needed to avoid the fans and although I love my fans they can be a bit overwhelming" Hobin reasons. Jihyeon shoots her son an exasperated look before turning around to go back to work much to her son's dismay.

"The viewers are saying they wouldn't touch you with a ten-foot pole" Gyeoul snickers as she reads the screen. Hobin shoots her a glare.

"So pretty please don't kick us out" He pleads and Daniel raises a brow.

"Well I understand your reasoning, I care about Aunty too but just know that she's safe here. I've ensured that none of the kitchen staff will be harmed when working here. Besides I'm pretty sure the only employees within the CC that get hurt are the Founders and security members. Even my medical staff haven't been harmed, nor the cleaners or any other external employees" Daniel shared and it was true.

Sure fighters yell and shout during their medicals but they hadn't hurt any of them physically.

"What about the two separate fights you've been in" Mangi points out and Daniel huffs.

"That was by my own accord, I may have practically invited them to fight me" Daniel laughs sheepishly. "But anyways, your mother isn't being harmed and no I won't kick you out as long as you all promise not to break in again. I may have to report that as an incident to the Founders just because of security measures though" He hums out and the group nods in understanding.

"So Dr. Park, is it alright if we record you and do a little interview time? You're quite the celebrity here and it'd be amazing and an honour if we could do this" Rumi asks and Daniel couldn't help but feel the videoing part was a bit too late of a question.

"Um…Sure I guess. Although I have to leave in about 15 minutes" Daniel agrees.

"Okay, I'll conduct the interview!" Hobin and Gyeoul shout at the same time, suddenly mics are in their hands and they are standing on both of Daniel's sides. The two were rather short compared to him, although Hobin only by an inch or two.

"First question, how do you know my mother, you seem familiar" Hobin's gaze narrowed.

"She's my mum's best friend so I've seen her a couple of times before" Daniel responds with a shrug.

"Boring question" The pink-haired girl snorts. "How about this, how does it feel to currently be Korea's most famous Doctor in terms of social media and online presence? You're quite hot stuff at the moment" Gyeoul fires out.

"I am?" Daniel asks as he tilts his head to the side questioningly.

"You are!" The group seems to shout back in return much to his surprise.

"Are you saying you haven't seen the clips of you on the CC livestream page that have been pinned? They have hundreds of thousands of views" Gyeoul shouts.

"Or the fanart and tweets of you on Twitter!? Every time you fight or do something amazing your name would trend for the rest of the week at least!" Jihyeok adds. "Isn't it called X now?" Mangi mumbles.

"What about the fan edits of you on Tic Tac?" Rumi adds.

It wasn't as if Daniel didn't go onto his socials. He had private accounts and when he did go onto the different apps it was to see updated information on the latest medical news. He learnt from his uncle a long time ago to not get sucked into the hole, that spending too much time online would kill his brain and being the dutiful nephew that he was. He listened.

At Daniel's aggravatingly blank face, the group were quick to organise something.

"Okay, change of plans. We're reacting to edits instead" Gyeoul grunts before ushering for a phone to be passed to her. Music starts playing on the phone and she shows the screen to the camera. "First video we're going to show Dr Park" And soon the phone was placed in front of him.

The edit started off with a clip of him jumping over the rails of the CC and skidding to a halt next to a blurred-out Warren. Suddenly the audio blarred 'I SAID MOVE BACK!'

Did he really scream loud enough for the audio to get picked up?! Daniel could only hang his mouth open as some English song started playing over several clips of Daniel that were edited together with some effects.

'Them LA boys, They wanna fuck, they wanna fuck. Them New York boys, They wanna fuck…'

Clips of him running out to help other fighters, a couple of him just with his arms crossed surveying the fights and even him in matches. It was embarrassing.

The video ends and Gyeoul scrolls down, again showing the viewers before turning to show Daniel.

"When this video gets onto NewTube we'll edit it to make it cleaner looking" Hobin promises the chat as he watches Daniel in amusement.

Again it was a video of him with an English song playing over the cover of it. The clip with him walking menacingly towards Ryohei appears first.

"I said keep my mother's name out your goddamn filthy mouth" Video Daniel sneers and soon it melts to clips of him during his and Ryohei's impromptu fight before switching to his more recent fight with Hudson.

'Hey sexy lady, I like your flow. Your body's bangin', out of control…'

Were people seriously attracted to him? Was this why they were making all these embarrassing videos of Daniel? It was both flattering but also morbid to watch.

"What are your opinions on them so far?" Hobin asks and Daniel can barely stutter out a reply.

"I mean…it's just…wow. Not what I expected" Daniel gives an awkward laugh. He knows he was probably about as red as a tomato.

"They all have like hundreds of thousands of views, a couple even have over a million. You seriously had no clue about your own popularity?" Gyeoul questions and Daniel nods.

"Ooh, let's show him this recent one and ask his opinion on it" Rumi giggles before looking for a video on her phone and passing it to Gyeoul. The pink-haired girl takes one look before dissolving into her own fit of giggles.

"Oh Doctor, this one is newer but it's got people in a chokehold" She shows Daniel. The male wasn't sure if he wanted to watch it.

It showed a clip of Daniel standing on the second floor, watching the fight and apparently looking…attractive? What was he even doing that was attractive? He was just standing there! No matter the case, the clip could only have come from last week. So even without being on the field, he was being filmed…not by the CC but by fans.

Another English song plays and this time Daniel's mouth drops. Absolutely and utterly gobsmacked by the clips that were being shown.

'I've been a nasty girl, nasty. I've been a nasty girl, nasty. I've been…'

Clips of him cuddling up to other gang members, holding hands, getting kissed, whispering into Johan's ear as if he was saying sweet nothings and then sitting on Taesoo's lap. Oh God.

"I…I" He couldn't get a word out.

"Didn't expect to see that, now did you?" A couple of people laugh and Daniel huffs before running a hand down his burning face. He wanted to be swallowed up by the floor. Why didn't he reject this interview? Why did he have to get involved? He wishes he could go back to being ignorant about his online presence.

"No…I didn't" Daniel nervously laughs.

"I guess this brings us to the big question, are you romantically involved with anyone currently?" Gyeoul dives in, wanting to know about the details.

"Don't you think that's a bit personal?" Jihyeok called but was ignored.

"Um…me and the majority of the fighters are friends or at the very least good acquaintances. Even the ones where I've had disagreements in the past. But I'm not in a relationship with them" Daniel answers honestly.

"Huh? Even with Jake or Samuel? They looked smitten when they kissed you" Gyeoul continued.

"Uh n-no. That kissing thing is just a thing they do sometimes when they see me. They said it was because they thought I was cute but really they're just friends!" Daniel tries to defend but it's as if he only dug himself into a bigger hole.

"Oh? So they are attracted to you? Would you ever consider dating them?" She presses on.

"N-no!" Daniel replies probably a bit too aggressively judging by their looks.

"And what about Hudson or that older guy you sat on? They looked close to you-"

"Um," Daniel's flirting was really coming back to bite him in the butt. He didn't know how to answer or avoid the questions, he was trapped and all the eyes that were on him both in person and through the cameras was nervewracking.

Suddenly the door slams open, catching everyone off guard.

"Oi, there you are!" The person shouts as he marches through the room. "The hell are you doing? Do you know what time it is?!" Gun shouts and Daniel's eyes widen as he looks down at his watch.

Shit, he was supposed to have left around 10 minutes ago.

"I lost track of time," Daniel gasps.

"I couldn't care less, you think you get paid to stand around doing stupid interviews with streamers? Hurry up and start moving!" Gun orders and Daniel raises a brow at the sudden attitude he was being given.

"Excuse me?" Daniel replies and Gun falters, not expecting Daniel's lack of action at his orders but rather his own verbal response. "You're right, I'm not being paid to give interviews but I wasn't paid for having to remodel the entirety of the medical bay during my first week either, or to fix relationship and group issues to prevent people from getting hurt, deal with harassment from an array of individuals or deal with your shitty attitude" Daniel crosses his arms and gives the elder a meaningful look.

Gun and Daniel stare at each other, eyes never breaking away as they continue their stare off. Eventually Gun was the one to cave in as he huffs and grunts out a 'whatever' which was the closest the Doctor was going to get as an apology when there were other people watching.

"Look, you didn't show up and your lackeys down at the medical set-up were panicking like headless chickens. James spotted them and told me to track you down" Gun explains, the anger having subsided into more of a reluctant 'let me explain my side, I didn't mean to blow up' tone.

"You take orders from James now? Also, don't call my people my lackeys" Daniel asks before mumbling the last bit.

"I do not but the asshole insisted on it since he was busy doing something else and Goo was too busy playing around on his phone. Luckily he noticed your name trending on Twitter-" "X" Someone calls in the background. "-and we managed to figure out where you were. Really, reacting to edits of yourself?" This time Gun snorts and Daniel sighs.

"Shut up" He huffs much to people's horror but to everyone's shock, the Founder does not sock Daniel in the face for those words. No, instead he just laughs.

"Don't worry you get used to them after a while" Gun reassures.

"There are edits of you too?" Daniel perks up.

"There are edits of everyone from the CC. The internet is a horny mess" Gun waves off before turning to Hobin and his group of streamer friends. The casual and friendly atmosphere was gone once his eyes were pinned to them. "Now, how should I deal with you lot? Breaking into the CC before hours" He growls and a couple of them freeze or squeak in fear.

"You wanna fight?" Taehoon asks as Hobin holds him back.

"I don't need to fight to take you all down" There was a clear threat in his voice, never mind the fact that the camera and live stream were still rolling. "The only thing stopping me is the fact that I know most of you and have seen your streams before. You're an impressive group so I'll let you off the hook this time" Gun sizes up both Taehoon and Hobin before his gaze lingers towards the others. He turns and walks away, heading back to the door he came from.

"If you want to fight then you know what to do. Join the CC. It'd be quite the crossover for Viral Hit and Crew Corps to collaborate" Gun pauses and turns back to smirk at the group. "We'd make a lot of money too" He adds before turning back and continuing his leave.

The group were in shock by the dramatic exit and Daniel almost facepalms. Instead, he gives them an apologetic smile before mumbling "I'm sorry about him, he's dramatic and a jackass 100% of the time. I hope you enjoy the rest of your night" With that he also turns to rush and follow Gun.

By the time he reaches Gun, he jumps and hits the elder in the shoulder not too harshly. Hissing about his attitude, the elder merely rolls his eyes and snorts before changing the topic.

"Tonight, after work you're coming with me. So once you're done go out the back" Gun tells Daniel who looks back at him blankly and nods with a sigh.

The Hobin Yoo Company who was still standing in the cafeteria could only watch with open mouths before eventually it's Hobin who perks up.

"It would be a lot of money"

"Hobin no!"

.

.

.

'After work, you're coming with me' Daniel could only think about Gun's words for the rest of the night and nothing else. He was sceptical about why Gun would want to go out so late but also curious. It was unlike Gun but also so incredibly like him to say it as an order since his words hadn't been a request.

The night's work was a blur, all he remembers is maintaining his pace and helping the fighters without Jay or Mira calling him out this time. Maybe he was getting better at working with muscle memory. He also remembers Goo calling out Hobin and his group from the crowd and fans going crazy at the sight of the group of streamers. He recalls the group finishing up for the night and Daniel heading back to his office before sending Jay off for the night. Then he walked back to his room and threw his coat onto his desk before grabbing a warmer jacket and rushing to stand out back.

It was a cold night, cold enough to make Daniel start shivering only moments after he exited the warmth of the building but he didn't mind. Shoving his hands into his pockets he keeps his eyes peeled for Gun's usual ride. His red F12 TRS Ferrari he spent most of his time driving around that dripped with the scent of money. Yet instead of the fiery red appearing after 15 minutes of waiting, what comes by is a subtle black sedan.

It may not have been as eye-catching due to its colour but Daniel could still tell that it was worth a whole lot of money judging by the BMW logo and how shiny it looked. Gun doesn't even both rolling down the window, just comes to a stop and ushers Daniel to get his ass moving with the quirk of a brow and like an obedient dog he does. Coming around the passenger side he opens the door, even the sound of the door opening sounding expensive and the nice interior and leather seats added to it. Daniel wasn't a car guy but he could appreciate the craftsmanship.

"What happened to your favourite red toy?" Daniel asks the moment he enters.

"Hello to you too," Gun replies.

"We saw each other a couple of hours ago, just answer my question" Daniel frowns.

"I didn't bring the 'red toy' because that would be too obvious, I'd rather remain inconspicuous during the middle of the night" Gun sighs as he starts driving once the Doctor finishes putting on his seat belt.

"I guess a black car is a more low-key vehicle, makes it easier for you to murder me and dump my body in the middle of the woods" Daniel accuses and Gun bites back a laugh.

"Yes, that's exactly why I invited you out in the middle of the night. To kill you after you insulted me in front of those streamers" Gun nods. "You've figured me all out and yet you still came out to see me" The other smirks and Daniel rolls his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah just make it quick"

The rest of the car ride is silent. Both men are tired and no topic of conversation crosses their minds but neither seem to care. Gun was content to focus on driving them to some unknown location whereas Daniel stared out the window in a dreamy daze. Sometime during the ride, he must've fallen asleep as suddenly there's a tap on his shoulder.

Blinking awake, Daniel turns to see Gun nudging him. His shades were gone but he was still in his suit and his hair gel was holding strong even after the many hours.

"We've arrived?" Daniel asks, noticing that the car is parked and Gun himself hums, turning back to sit properly in his seat.

Daniel turns, expecting to be at a restaurant or some fancy building, maybe even an exotic nightclub. Instead, he stares down at the panoramic view of Seoul's incredible nightlife. They were high up, in a mountain? When did they go up a mountain? How long has it been? Looking down at the small lights that were gathered together at a distance, vibrating with life despite the time. Daniel couldn't help the awe building up in his chest.

"Gun…this is" The Doctor didn't have any words to describe the view.

"It's not Vegas or Ibiza, but Seoul has a pretty view too. I thought that at the very least it would please you" Gun murmurs quietly and Daniel's heart speeds up.

The lights of the city glittered like stars, the stars themselves were little and far in between due to the light pollution but it added to the atmosphere as horrible as that sounded. The quietness of the mountain, of the car made it seem as if they were the only two in the world.

"It's beautiful" Daniel smiles, his gaze not leaving the view. "Thank you for showing me this, Gun" he whispers, having to drag his eyes away only to falter when he notices that Gun is staring at him.

"It's not much," Gun shrugs. "But I still remember you wanted to do things that weren't related to the CC or training. You reminded me again when you asked me to the movies…seeing as I couldn't go I thought this would be nice" He explains.

The elder wasn't smiling but he wasn't frowning or angry either. His face was completely blank, eyes never leaving Daniel as he spoke.

"And you're right, the view is beautiful" Gun agrees.

Daniel turns away, hoping that the darkness of the night was enough to cover his blazing cheeks. How could the man even compliment the view when he hadn't even looked at it? It was ridiculous.

"How long are we staying here for?" Daniel asks meekly.

"For as long as you want, we could stay until morning if you really wanted" Gun replies easily and hearing the elder accommodate to what Daniel wanted makes him shudder in warmth.

"Then let's stay for a little longer" Daniel nods, sitting back in his seat.

The two sit in each other's comfort. Occasionally Gun would break the silence by pointing at something like the Seoul tower or a couple of buildings he was familiar with and Daniel would listen in awe.

"Do you come here often?" Daniel inquires and the other nods.

"Only when I need some time to think or to be by myself" Gun replies and Daniel can't think of the other ever needing time to take a break just for himself. Then again there was a lot about Gun that Daniel didn't seem to know. A life that no one except Gun himself knew about.

It must have been lonely. Living at the top with nothing but the materialistic items and titles he earned along the way.

Saddened by the thought, Gun, of course, notices the wilt in Daniel's posture. Not knowing what to say or do he merely reaches out to play some music. The Doctor watches with expectant eyes, waiting to hear pop or R&B, something flashy like Gun yet instead something slower comes on.

"Oh?" Daniel smiles. It was an English song but nonetheless, it was something the Doctor didn't expect of the Founder.

"You have something to say?" Gun quirks a brow and Daniel is quick to chuckle before shaking his head.

The tempo, the soft orchestra and the way the violins and trumpet stood out against the rest. Feeling a boldness take over him, Daniel reaches out and turns up the music before rolling down the window and opening the door.

"Come out" Daniel orders much to Gun's confusion.

"You'll catch a cold" Gun calls, his tone still quiet but Daniel ignores it.

It doesn't take a moment longer before Gun follows suit in rolling down his window, opening his door and stepping out too. It was then that Daniel realised that even if they were both stubborn people, even if Daniel would occasionally follow the elder's beck and call like a dog, Gun was much the same in some instances. Moments like this when he did what Daniel asks of him without question.

"What now?" Gun asks as he stands in front of Daniel and his car, staring down at the shorter man with an arched brow. Without his glasses, he looked so young, less intimidating and more soft. More vulnerable.

"Dance with me" Daniel replies and now the elder was staring at him as if he was crazy. "Please?" With that single, soft plea Gun automatically gives in.

Listening to the soft music, Gun sighs and holds out a hand, one which Daniel takes gladly. Pulling him in closer, Gun places one hand on Daniel's waist whereas the other holds the younger male's hand. Daniel scrambles to follow, placing his free hand on Gun's shoulder.

"Do you even know how to dance?" Gun asks and at Daniel's silence, he snorts. "It's fine, just try not to step on my toes" He teases.

Gun takes the lead and begins moving whereas Daniel follows. It was barely anything complicated, just the two swaying in the darkness to the barely hearable music from the car with a breathtaking view in the background but it doesn't matter. To neither man, all that mattered was the other. Looking up from his feet, Daniel meets Gun's gaze.

'Never thought that you would be

Standing here so close to me

There's so much I feel that I should say'

Daniel knows enough English to understand the lyrics and Gun must've known the language to willingly choose to listen to such songs. Even so, neither one of them admits to knowing it.

Still, the lyrics ring true. There was so much Daniel wanted to confess and say but he was scared. He was scared of getting it wrong, of saying too much and ruining everything they had. If there was a chance of screwing it all up then Danel would forever choose silence.

'But words can wait until some other day'

They'd have plenty of opportunities to talk. But how many moments offered them the chance to dance? To simply enjoy each other's company? So Daniel keeps quiet.

'Kiss me once, then kiss me twice

Then kiss me once again

It's been a long, long time'

Daniel's eyes dip down to the man's lips before looking elsewhere, back to the view of Seoul. Gun had noticed the slip-up but of course, didn't mention anything as he continued to gently sway.

'Haven't felt like this, my dear

Since I can't remember when

It's been a long, long time'

Letting out a sigh, Daniel lets his head drop down onto Gun's shoulder. The Founder doesn't tell him off, only shifting slightly so that Daniel could be more comfortable. Again, the elder was doing something for Daniel, wordless and without protest. He may not have been a man for grand gestures but nonetheless, he could be sweet.

'You'll never know how many dreams

I've dreamed about you'

Daniel hasn't dreamt about the Founder but he's certainly fancied himself ideas of them together. Not together as they were currently but together as partners, officially and in the absence of false pretences. Daydreams that had him in a choke hold, that would cause him to whine or mess up around his patients and co-workers. Thoughts of them holding hands, going on small dates that weren't grand, spending time not for sex but just for each other.

'Or just how empty they all seemed without you

So kiss me once, then kiss me twice

Then kiss me once again'

This time as the words were sung, Gun gives a small hum which causes the other to lean back and look up. His confusion and words die before they're spoken as instead, Gun kisses him. Delicately and sweetly, the type of kiss that Daniel hadn't even known he had been waiting for. A kiss that held such passion that even as Gun moved back he could still feel the warmth against his skin.

Quietness except for the music and light breeze of fresh air. Gun waits and Daniel apparently takes a moment too long as soon his brows crease in the usual way they always do when he's upset and his hold on the younger loosens. Scared that he'd let the straws he had been grasping for set free, Daniel surges forward and envelops Gun with another kiss, this one of his own accord and with his own wants.

A small sound of surprise leaves Gun but nonetheless, he melts. His hands tightened and pulled Daniel flush against him. The desire for each other was present but it wasn't laced with sexual tension, only the desperate need to prove that it was something beyond that without words to support it. Words that the two weren't ready to say yet.

'It's been a long, long time'

They pull apart but not out of each other's arms. The quietness returns and Daniel goes back to leaning against Gun's shoulder. The instrumental continues and they continue swaying, their minds on pause about what had just occurred.

Eventually, much to Daniel's dismay the song comes to an end and even as another starts Gun pulls away gently and lets go. The younger missed the warmth and it must've been evident on his face as Gun sighs.

"Let's go home" Gun urges and Daniel nods without any further words.

They pile back into the car, roll their windows up and start heading back. Gun allows for the music to continue during the ride as neither he nor Daniel has anything to say. The ride to the mountain had been as much of a blur as the ride back to the CC.

Gun parks his car and the two head towards Daniel's room. Daniel himself was still debating over what to say, should he say it or hold it in? This kiss had changed everything, they had kissed before but none were like this. None had conveyed such unyielding emotions.

They arrive in front of Daniel's room and as he unlocks it, Gun fiddles with the cuffs of his sleeves.

"I had a wonderful night, as short as it was," Daniel tells Gun, feeling the need to assure Gun that it was an experience he enjoyed.

Gun pauses before nodding, offering one of those small smiles that Daniel found to be in his list of things the elder did that he liked.

"I'm glad" Gun acknowledges before nodding. "I'll let you rest now," He turns and starts to leave.

Daniel watches and before he can stop himself he calls out.

"Gun" It wasn't loud but it was enough to get the man to stop and turn.

"Yes?" He held an expectant look and Daniel didn't disappoint.

"Stay the night?" Daniel asks, looking down at the floor at the fear of seeing something disappointing. It wasn't what he wanted to say but it was something at the least. "Just to sleep, please?" He adds after a moment.

Footsteps and soon Gun was back in front of him.

"Alright," The Founder nods, "Just to sleep" He agrees, taking Daniel by the hand and leading him inside silently.

And so the two crawl under Daniel's cover after hastily undressing most of their three-piece suit or changing into sleepwear. Daniel turns to face the wall, away from the heated presence of the other in his bed.

"Goodnight, Gun" Daniel whispers, his bravery and voice having given up by this point so he wasn't sure if the man could hear him.

Shifting in the bed, Daniel pauses before relaxing as he feels Gun pull his back into his chest, arms around his waist and nose in his neck.

"Goodnight, Daniel" He mumbles softly as a reply.
