Ji-eun was sitting on bench eating after a long day at university with her friend, a short woman, around the same age as Ji-eun with dyed white hair, she was wearing a full black outfit, black jeans, black open leather jacket, black t-shirt, black Bickee sneakers and a black cap with the initials L.S.
"Common Ji-eun, tell me, is the guy hot? You told me when you last saw him he was a nerd." Ji-eun doesn't seem to care about her talking, she continues eating, she only remembers when he kissed her forehead. "Earth to Ji-eun?" Her friend slaps her. She screams in pain and looks at her.
"What Jisu?!" She looked mad her eyes and look directly in Jisu's eyes and prepares to hit her back. "How was your literally blind date?" Ji-eun looks at Jisu. She gives a smile, a smile she never gave before, her eyes are filled with joy and Jisu knows her friend is eating lots of food while she is nervous.
"Tell me something, I wanna know the details, is he hot? What's his job? Do you plan a long term relationship?" You can hear the sound of *gulp* coming from her. "Well the date was nice…" He breathes heavily. "And he asked me to marry him" He said it fast so she would catch much. "HE SAID WHAT?" She heard everything. "And I kissed him after that."
Jisu's eyes are near outer orbit, her jaw dropped and nearly started making a cross. She jumps off the bench and looks at her. "He will come to pick us up, with his car." Jisu already imagined a fat guy with glasses, with a cheap 2009 car in sweatpants coming to get them. They walked towards the front of the university, Ji-eun was happy, glowing really, {she looked like a teenager who met the bad hot bad guy in high school.}
A Mexus, 2015, 4 seater, model ninja{the sport 4 seat model} parks in front of the university. Ji-eun hadn't seen Min-jun's car before so she didn't know if this was him.
He gets out of the car, in a more casual outfit. He now wears a black t-shirt, you could, looking from closer you could see that it's designer, black jeans, in his hand is his left hand is his phone, and on his right he grabbed a pair of glasses to match the fit.
Ji-eun noticed that the man who got out of the car was him and rushed towards him and looked in his eyes. "I said I will be a little late, you know I had to do the thing I promised to you."
{2 hours ago}, Min-jun was in his boss's office. "As I am saying boss…" She tilted her head.
"What did you do?" Min-jun gets somewhat nervous as she gets the knife from under the desk. "I want to quit, this girl made me realize how much I just want to change, I want to be out." She dropped the knife. She calls someone on the phone "Musong, you lost the bet!"
Lady Hong laughed. "So how much did she changed you?" Min-jun looks into her eyes. Footsteps are heard on the stairs and Munseong bursts into the room. He jumped on Min-jun and hugged him. "OH MY GOD!" Said Min-jun, surprised. "You did it didn't you, you're gonna quit because of a woman! It's not how the black tiger she'll die!"
"Munseong, I have some stuff to do so get off me!" He said, struggling to push him off. "Munseong if you don't let get off him I am gonna cut your neck." Lady Hong, pulls the knife on the table. He let go and looked at her, scared. He didn't show it on the outside but on the inside he was nearly dead. "I respect you for fitting in for your father, so I'll let you go."
Lady Hong looks deep into Min-jun's eyes. "If you EVER! join another gang. I am going to kill her and you. You know the drill." He nods and leaves at an instant.
He drives home. He drives slowly as he thinks about what he did, he feels happy. When he arrives home. He opens the glovebox and grabs the mask from it. He walks out of the car casually and gets in the backyard. He throws it there and goes inside.
He takes a box of matches and gets outside. "From today, you don't exist anymore tiger." He said in his mind, smiling at this achievement. The mask burns slowly. He waited for it to burn and when it became nothing but flames and ashes he stepped on the ashes of the mask to put down the flames. He goes back inside to change to take Ji-eun from university.
{Back In the present} she hugs him, looking at his tattoo. "Now that I see it more clearly" She touches it. "It's beautiful!" Jishu looks at them and realizes the guy she imagined wasn't there. The man her friend dates has muscles, a tattoo and a very good car and well maintained. She gets closer to him and realizes everything he wears is designer.
"Are you looking to date two women by any chance?" Said Jishu, joking, even started laughing. He looks at her dead in the eyes. "No thanks, Ji-eun is perfect for me." Min-jun acted serious and professional, he feels tested for infidelity on the first day. Ji-eun got the joke and she giggled.
"She is my friend, Jishu Park. Expect her to joke like this a lot." She looks back and forth between them. "I guess…" He scratched his head. "Get in, please." They get in the car.
"So where do we go?" Ji-eun grabs her phone to set the gps, but Min-jun stops her.
"I asked what street, I know Seoul better than that gps" He looked smug, but Ji-eun slapped him. "Is this becoming a habit?" "I only slap you when you need to be slapped." She sets up the gps. "There we go. Now we can drive!"
She smiled, trying to hide how embarrassing this was to her. She thinks she shouldn't have done it, but he smiles, he has fingers on his face, but that didn't bother him. He looks at the place where they have to go. It's the same neighborhood he lives in, near his house. He smiled and closed the phone. "That's where I live! I'll get you there…"
Jisu knew what type of people live there, the people with money to buy the whole Seoul. Gangsters, politicians, mafia, diverse programers and CEOs. Her boyfriend is a gangster himself. He looks at Min-jun with doubt of being a good guy, looking from behind at his tattoo.
