Dark and his group had a sudden mission so they left the sanctuary earlier. The mission was about a serial killer known as the "Blonde Hunter". The "Blonde Hunter", as the name implies, only hunts blonde people, both women and men, boys or girls, to play with. The police force found the bodies through reports occasionally from the residents in some areas around A and B cities of his prey, which shocked and angered them as every body that they found was really battered and was hard to recognize. Upon numerous tests, the bodies had small and large burns, lacerations, bruises, and their lower body parts were greatly abused.
So inhumane!!!
As the police force had a hard time gathering clues and founding information about the serial killer, one of the family's victims hired them and gave them a big reward. The said family is one of the well-known families in City A, and even though the victim is a member of a branch, the incident had a big impact on them. They wanted the killer to be known and killed to save some face and for people to not accuse them of not caring about their family branch members. Thus, after gathering enough information and finalizing their plan, They came back only to face the delicious aroma that was coming from the kitchen. Instantly, their mouths watered.
When they reached the kitchen, the food that was on top of the table caught their attention. The food entices them big time. Beside the table, they saw Rami, who was chewing non-stop. His cheeks is bulging and his blushing slightly because of excitement and joy.
'How adorable!!'
Upon seeing them suddenly when Rami turned around, with his reaction, their hearts melted. Even Amethyst, who has prejudice against him.
'Just how cute is he?' They all thought silently.
Not seeing any changes on Rami's reaction like he was stoned there, Ryu cleared his throat, then walked towards Rami to distract him and for him to response. Noticing the small grease within the side of Rami's mouth, he pulled a tissue and then wiped it gently.
"Just look at you. Your eating like a baby." Ryu playfully said to Rami who only smiled shyly at him. The two didn't notice the changes their actions brought to Dark who is within the side watching them.
Watching them!! Dark feels irritated. His instincts urge him to pull Ryu away from Rami but his rational side stopped him from doing so. These past few days, even though he was always not around and acted as if he didn't care, he always knew what was going on within his territory. So he knew what Rami was doing since he lived with them. Upon observing him, he always seemed to get his attention. His every action, reaction, and appearance so his always on edge these days. He didn't know what to do as this was the very first time that someone caught his attention.
Seeming to feel that someone was staring at him, Rami looked at Dark's side and caught him. Then Dark saw Rami blushed more making his already cute face redden even more making his heart beat a little faster. Not minding the abnormal reactions in his body. He walks through the table and sit down.
"What do we have here?" Dark asked.
"I cooked some snacks. If you'd like to try some, please feel free." Rami stuttered. Frowning at the way Rami answered him, he suddenly felt unfair.
"Hmmm." Dark hummed plainly then he darkly pick one of the shawarmas with one hand and take a bite. Chewing slowly. Not saying anything.
'This is good.' Dark thought.
"Sit down and eat." Dark commanded to the others who is just standing there with his usual cold face who flinched unconsciously.
The others immediately followed.
'What the hell happened? Who angered the boss?' They all silently exclaimed.
Rami, who is standing silently there waiting for even a small praised that came from Dark, slightly clinched his hand. The sauce of the shawarma that he was still holding leaked into his hands, and he slightly bowed his head to avoid showing his reaction. The action of Dark pierced his heart again. As he liked cooking, he wanted everyone who ate his food to love and like what he made. Avery, who noticed his reaction, approached him.
"Hey, what did you cook? They looked yummy." Avery said to him while he patted his back, surprising him as he didn't notice her approaching him.
