[Finished] Redemption (BTS - Mafia AU)
  • Hoseok
  • Hanuel and I both got into my car. We both laughed, feeling as if we were high from the adrenaline and rush. ‘Are you ready to race?’ I asked her as she nodded, rather enthusiastically.
  • ‘Oh hell yeah! Let’s win this Hobi!’ she said, almost getting as excited as a little child. I just laughed and started the car. I drove towards where the other drivers were, waiting to start.
  • There were three other racers waiting for the race. I looked over to my side as I recognized him – Dodge. He was known for being a little crazy on the street. None of the racers followed rules but he took it to extremes which made him dangerous.
  • ‘Hey Hanuel,’ I said and she hummed in response. ‘I know you’re excited but do be careful,’ I said.
  • ‘It’s not like I’m the one driving Hobi,’ she said making me roll my eyes in response.
  • ‘I know but you’re also going to be my eyes. Dodge is not to be trusted,’ I said.
  • ‘And we are?’ she asked, one eyebrow raised which made me shake my head in response. Of course she would say something like that. ‘Fine, I’ll focus,’ she said as I nodded.
  • A woman wearing a short leader dress walked towards the front. I saw Hanuel roll her eyes and I could not help but laugh.
  • ‘Why did that reaction not surprise me?’ I asked and she shrugged.
  • ‘I’m not judging her poor choice of clothing because God knows I had to wear skimpy outfits for a job or two,’ she said which made me sneak a glance at her.
  • ‘Really? This is a story I need to know more of,’ I said as I focused back on the woman who was prancing around.
  • ‘Another time,’ she said as she pointed to the woman. She was wearing a black, leather dress that hugged her figure. I would be lying if I said she did not have a sexy figure. She was also wearing high heels which looked uncomfortable. Her hair was dyed blonde but it almost looked like it was somewhat fried, probably from all the bleach. Her face was covered in make up which looked caked on with all the lights.
  • She swayed, almost sensually as she raised her gun in the air. The other racers and I all revved our cars in response. There were loud roars and the woman giggled before she closed her eyes.
  • I made sure I was ready, both hands on the steering wheel. The woman pulled the trigger and the shot echoed. All four cars sped away.
  • I focused on the road as I continued to speed. ‘Right turn,’ Hanuel directed as she focused on our surroundings. ‘Careful, Dodge is coming to close in,’ she said.
  • I nodded as I let him close enough and then moved away just in time. I let him surpass me before I took the turn and skipped him again.
  • ‘That was neat,’ she commented. ‘Left,’ she said as I took a sharp turn. The tires squealed loudly as I fought to maintain control. ‘There’s only one in front of us but Dodge is on our ass. I think he is going to press us,’ she said.
  • Just as she finished, he bumped us from behind. ‘*,’ I mumbled as the car swerved slightly. I managed to get control again but he just bumped us more forcefully.
  • ‘Careful, bridge is coming up next,’ she said as I took a turn to the right. She was right, we were next to the bridge which meant…dammit!
  • He pushed back into us, this time not relenting. He was trying to push us over the bridge. ‘He’s going to push us over,’ I said. She clicked her tongue and shook her head.
  • ‘Not for long,’ she mumbled as she reached out for a small knife out of her boots.
  • ‘What are you doing?’ I asked as I tried to focus on not hitting the bridge. If we did hit with this speed, we’ll end up going into the water.
  • ‘I’m going to make sure he can’t press us anymore. Just try to keep this beast steady,’ she said with a wink.
  • She unbuckled her seatbelt and started putting half her body out of the window. ‘YAH! Be careful!’ I yelled as she leaned further out.
  • Dodge bumped even harder this time as he continued to press on the speed. I cursed under my breath as I saw her struggle to keep her balance.
  • ‘* be careful God dammit!’ I yelled as I looked at the mirror. I tried to pay attention to the road but I kept an eye on her. I saw her move swiftly as she threw the knife.
  • Before I knew it, I saw Dodge swiving completely out of control. ‘Wohoo!’ Hanuel yelled a little as she came back into the seat. From the mirror, I saw Dodge going into the pole but it did not look like too bad of an accident.
  • ‘You’re crazy,’ I said laughing while shaking my head. She just shrugged and continued to face the road.
  • ‘He was trying to kill us. He’s like I just threw the knife at his tyre not somewhere else,’ she said. ‘Come on, we have last one to overtake. I’m not losing this race because of your ass,’ she said.
  • ‘Oh is that so?’ I taunted as I pressed on the gas and took a hard turn. I saw the other racer in front of me but it seems just seeing us made him panic slightly. He swerved for a moment and I took my chance as I overtook him.
  • I sped as I reached the designated finishing line. I heard yells, clapping and cheers as the two of us got out of the car. I saw her smile as she leaned closer to me. ‘Well done Mister Jung,’ she said, barely above a whisper.
  • ‘Well done to you too Miss Choi,’ I said as I placed a kiss on her cheek. I saw her blink while I laughed.
  • ‘Congratulations to the four of you for winning your races,’ Taehyung commented as the seven of us got back together.
  • ‘They were both pretty intense races but I do got to give props to little Umbra here with that stunt she pulled,’ Yoongi said with a smile.
  • ‘Yah! That stunt almost gave me a mini heart attack,’ I said, to which she rolled her eyes.
  • ‘Jungkook and I are thinking of going for a celebratory drink. Anyone cares to join?’ Jimin asked.
  • ‘As much as I would love to, I need to go give these reports to Namjoon-hyung,’ Taehyung said with a visible frown.
  • ‘Don’t worry Tae, I can give them to him myself. You go and have fun,’ Jin said as he reached over for the documents.
  • ‘Thanks hyung,’ Tae said, smiling that big boxy smile that he only showed to us. ‘What about the rest of you?’ he asked.
  • ‘I’m heading home. I need to check some footage,’ Yoongi said.
  • ‘You’re such a boring workaholic hyung!’ Jungkook said, almost with a pout.
  • ‘I know how to have my own fun kid,’ Yoongi said with a wink.
  • ‘Hanuel and I are actually going to go for a calming drive. I think we’re both still buzzed from the race,’ I said.
  • ‘Are you sure that’s all?’ Yoongi teased with a smirk on his face.
  • ‘Mind your own business hyung,’ I quickly responded. I grabbed Hanuel’s hand and pulled her with me as we made our way back to the car.
  • Hanuel
  • Hoseok and I spent a good hour driving around by the cliffs until we both decided to stop. We remained in the car as we continued to talk.
  • ‘Tonight was pretty fun,’ I admitted and he nodded.
  • ‘Yeah, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I did too,’ he said. I turned around to look at him. He almost seemed as if he was glowing tonight. Maybe it was the rush. He turned to look at me as his smile grew bigger.
  • The two of us continued to look at each other and before I knew it, Hoseok pulled me in for a kiss. I felt his lips against mine before his tongue pushed into my mouth. I kissed back, feeling my heart begin to race against my chest. Before I knew it, he had pulled me from my seat and onto his lap.
  • My legs opened slightly so I could sit comfortably on him while we continued to make out until we both pulled away for air. I took a deep, shaky breath as he started kissing at my neck. I moaned slightly, quietly as I arched my back, allowing myself to feel the pleasure.
  • ‘Ahh Hos—Hoseok!’ I moaned as he sucked onto my skin. I closed my eyes and gulped as I felt him start to move to my collarbones. His hands moved to remove my leather jacket and I helped him to take it off. He threw it on the passenger seat and then rested his hands on my waist.
  • ‘So beautiful,’ he moaned as he pulled back slightly. He stared at me before he removed my black tank top in one swift move. ‘Gorgeous,’ he mumbled as he began to kiss at my chest. I moaned once more as I felt my body start to get tense and hot.
  • ‘Hmm Hoseok,’ I moaned again as my fingers found themselves in Hoseok’s hair. He found a spot and began to lick and suck on it and occasionally bite. I knew it was going to bruise as I pulled at his hair but he only growled and sucked harder.
  • My mind flashed to the last time the two of us had sex. We were both drunk and it was on the day of his family’s death anniversary. That sex, although amazing and mind-blowing, had been somewhat angry and grief releasing. It had resulted in us becoming distant and fighting and for a moment I got scared. I did not want that scenario repeating itself. Hoseok did apologize and I had forgiven him, but it still had hurt a lot, more than I admitted to him, more than I could ever show.
  • ‘Ho—Hoseok s—stop,’ I managed to stutter as I pushed against his chest. He immediately pulled back as he looked at me with wide eyes. There was concern in his eyes as he looked at me with worry and care.
  • ‘I’m sorry. Did I go too far? If you don’t want this, tell me,’ he said as he stroked my cheek tenderly. I smiled and shook my head. ‘Then talk to me. Tell me, is something wrong?’ he asked, gently, carefully, softly.
  • ‘No…no, I just… what are we doing Hoseok?’ I asked, managing to find my voice. He looked at me, almost as if unsure of my question. The worry, although still there seemed to start changing into confusion.
  • ‘What do you mean Hanuel? We’re having fun together,’ he said as he caressed my cheek. I gulped and nodded as I touched his own soft, delicate features. How can someone who looks so intimidating have such a soft and delicate ace?
  • ‘I know but last time… last time we ended up fighting… I don’t want that again,’ I said. He smiled and nodded before he leaned in and crashed his lips against mine. I kissed back, unable to control myself. The kiss was soft, unlike the previous kisses. It felt like a reassurance kiss – a kiss that was sealing a promise.
  • He pulled away and cupped my face in his. ‘I don’t want that either and we won’t,’ he assured me. ‘We’re friends, right?’ he asked and I nodded. ‘Maybe we can be friends with benefit if you’re up for it,’ he said.
  • ‘You’re serious?’ I asked and he nodded. ‘Why me? I’m not exactly the best girl for you,’ I asked and he sighed, almost as if he was disappointed with my words.
  • ‘First of all, stop talking about yourself like that. Secondly, because I feel comfortable with you. Because you’re special to me. I know we both find relationships hard and scary but it doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of respectful fun between us,’ he said. He followed that with a kiss – a soft, gentle peck. ‘Only if you want Hanuel. I won’t think any less of you if you refuse and you’ll still be someone I care about deeply if you say no,’ he said but I was quick to shake my head.
  • ‘Yes!’ I said quickly as I cupped his face and crushed my lips against his. I felt him smile into the kiss while his hands travel across my body.
  • ‘Let’s go to the back,’ he said and I nodded. I let go of him and manoeuvred to the back seat. We kissed and removed each other’s clothes until we finally started to get really intimate.
