Kyuyhun tries to gather more information about Heechul's plan. Ryeowook makes his decision on Kyuhyun's offer.

MAMACITA

A Decision:

SoonYee couldn't help how giddy she felt that afternoon. In secret, she met with Donghae that morning over by the train station where he's been sleeping. She managed to get him comfortable enough to where she could convince him to go into town with her. She showed him around and even took him back to her house to make sure he had breakfast. He ate like he never saw breakfast in his life, which embarrassed him enough to where he said he should leave. He was surprised she didn't care and they ended up laughing about it together for minutes on end.

"So, you saw him again?" Leenah asked SoonYee, pulling her from her thoughts.

"Yeah. We met again this morning." SoonYee answered. "Everyone thinks he's this rude anti-social nutcase, but he's actually so sweet when you get to know him. He might even be more shy than me if you can believe it."

"You, shy?" Leenah laughed, "And what about last night? Anything special?"

SoonYee slapped Leenah's hand playfully, knowing exactly what she was getting at. She ended up going on and on about how they spent the previous night talking at his little camp by the train station. They did nothing more than lie down and look up at the beautiful stars as they talked, mostly about her and her life. He didn't really talk about himself unless it was something recent. He refused to go into anything about his childhood, where he grew up, any family, or anything else like that. She decided not to pry.

"What are you girls talking about?" Heechul approached, patting Leenah's shoulder.

"SoonYee is starting to grow close with the bounty hunter," Leenah smirked, which made SoonYee blush.

"Oh, boy talk? Not Interested." Heechul scoffed and kissed Leenah's cheek.

"You're only interested if it's about you." Leenah gave him a kiss back.

Heechul smirked, "That is so true."

While the three of them laughed and teased each other, Sungah entered the saloon. She all but burst the swinging doors off the hinges. It was enough for SoonYee to jump in her bar seat.

"SoonYee!" Sungah called as she approached her. "You still have chores to finish at home, why are you here?"

"I'm waiting for someone." SoonYee replied. "I don't know why you're wasting your time searching for me. I thought you'd be more concerned with Missy right now."

Sungah grew confused. She raised her brow at her sister.

"Why would I be concerned with Missy?"

"You didn't hear?" SoonYee replied, "Missy has been talking about Ryeowook all morning with Veronica and Jennifer. She said she's been finding him very attractive lately, and that she was going to pay him a visit. I would rather not repeat the comments they made about him in graphic detail, thank you."

Sungah clenched her jaw at the news. "She's going to do what?"

"She might be at his shop already. You should go check."

"Don't worry. I'll take care of her." Sungah immediately charged for the door.

__

Ryeowook sat at his desk inside his shop, trying to estimate how much money he had made that week. This was usually his quiet hour where no one came to bother him. It was peaceful so he could think clearly. The door opening made him break his concentration and jump in surprise.

"Missy?" Ryeowook stood from his seat. "What a surprise to see you here."

"What are you working on there?" Missy asked as she shut the door behind her.

He couldn't help but feel suddenly nervous. "Oh, nothing you would be interested in. What brings you here?"

"Silly Ryeowookie. I'm here to see you." Missy giggled, biting her lip a little.

"What?" Ryeowook gulped. "Why would you want to see me?"

"Why wouldn't I want to see you?" She came closer, making him realize what she wanted him for.

"Well, we've never spoken before-" Ryeowook left his desk to make his way for the door, but Missy blocked it with her hand. "What are you doing?"

"I told you that I came to see you." Missy got uncomfortably close, looking him up and down. "Now let me see you."

"I don't want to know what you mean by that." Ryeowook backed up. She kept coming closer.

"Oh, honey. You're so innocent." She touched his cheek then his shoulder gently with her hand. "You've never even been with a girl, have you? You're always obsessing over Kim Sungah, a girl who doesn't even know you exist."

The way Missy said Sungah's name was awful. It was full of jealousy and hate. He didn't understand why she was here. What about Kyuhyun? Weren't they involved with each other? And Eunhyuk? She was all over him the other day and Eunhyuk didn't seem to mind at all. Why did she want him all of a sudden? It didn't make sense. From the way she said Sungah's name, the only thing that came to mind was that she was jealous now that Sungah was openly speaking to him and showing a possible interest. Was that it?

"I am very uncomfortable, please stop." He muttered while she touched his chest. She even went as far as pinning him against the wall. "Please, you're coming on too strong."

She paid no mind to what he said and began kissing him all over. She was so used to every man drooling at their feet for her. The only thing he could agree on was that she was beautiful. Her fair skin, her platinum blonde hair tied up in her usual low bun, her blue eyes that looked like the sky above was all enough to make any man jump at the opportunity to be with her. Only he never looked at her that way. He didn't even know she realized he existed. It's not like she was ever nice to anyone either, not like Sungah who was kind to everyone. Sungah, he thought. No, he did not want anyone else but her. 

"Please, I do not want this." He begged. He tried to keep his face away from her as she kissed his neck, making him stiff., "Sungah wouldn't be happy if she was here seeing this."

His comment mentioning Sungah made her huff and puff in frustration.

"I wish you would just forget about her. About how much you love her." Missy whined. She put her face mere inches from his to where he could feel her hot breath on his skin, "She obviously doesn't want you like I do. Where has she been this whole time, huh? Letting you and Kyu fawn after her like she's some princess. What makes her so special?"

"You wouldn't understand-"

"It doesn't matter, Ryeowookie," She said, " Besides, it's not like she's here to care anyway."

"No, I'm here to care." Ryeowook saw Sungah standing in the doorway of his shop. She stepped all the way inside and slammed the door. He could feel Missy flinch against him from the sound. "Back off of him."

Missy turned to give Sungah a sassy glare, "Oh now that I'm here you're going to pretend he belongs to you? You had your chance, princess. Get lost."

Missy's comment had Sungah feel like she was two seconds away from pulling a gun on her. 

"Excuse me?" Sungah said, stepping closer. 

"What? You think because your husband's dead you can just take any man you want? Like you're some tough now? I remember what you were like before," Missy said, "Just some prissy, sad little girl who had to have a man swoop in to save her."

 Ryeowook put his hands on her shoulders to push her away from him since she let go of his wrists the moment Sungah came in. She was clearly shaking and trying not to let Sungah know. He saw Sungah's eyes darken from Missy's comment. Her jaw clenched as she thought of her next move. Not only did he not want Missy touching him, he also didn't want her near him in case one of them started a real fight. He didn't want to be in the crossfire of that.

"Back off of him or I swear I won't hesitate to shoot you in the face." Sungah said, her fingers itching to grab the gun on her belt, "I'll give you to the count of three. One. Two-"

"Fine, whatever." Missy let go of Ryeowook and pouted at Sungah, trying to act like she wasn't scared of her. "Keep him! He's too much of an innocent child for me anyways. You deserve each other."

Ryeowook felt like he could finally breathe when Missy left. Despite Sungah being so upset, he still felt peaceful with her, especially when they were alone like right now. He knew none of it was his fault, but he couldn't shake the feeling like he should be ashamed for what happened. If only he were braver, he could've handled Missy himself. Why couldn't things like fear and bravery be consistent? Why couldn't he choose which one he felt when the time was right? 

"Are you mad at me?" He looked at her, worried.

"Of course not." She answered, making him laugh in relief.

"You looked really angry. How jealous were you?" He playfully tapped her shoulder, making her laugh a little in return.

"I wasn't jealous." She surprisingly blushed. He knew that was a lie. The way she got so bashful just then, it made something inside him feel like shouting at the top of his lungs with joy. 

"Would you have really shot her?" He asked.

"She was trying to seduce you, what do you think?"

"I'll take that as a yes then."

"I have a question. Off topic," She came closer to him. "Do you really need to wear glasses all the time?"

"No. Just for when I cut hair, " He answered, "I'm a little nearsighted and I forget to take them off sometimes."

Sungah came even closer and slowly removed his glasses. She gently put them on the desk and smiled, coming close enough to touch noses.

"Can you see me okay?" She smiled sweetly, making him blush.

"I see you just fine." He looked into her eyes. He felt his heart racing a mile a minute, like there was a horse galloping on his chest. It made him feel queasy. She was so close he swore she could feel his heart ready to burst. He didn't know how he managed to find the guts to say what he was about to say next, "You're so beautiful. The most beautiful girl I've ever seen."

Sungah bit her lip shyly, "More beautiful than Missy?"

"I knew you were jealous." He whispered, his eyes falling shut at the sensation of how close they were. He rested his forehead against hers, "No one can compare to you."

He didn't know how he found the courage to do it, but he did it. He closed the small gap between them and gave her a short kiss on her cheek. He pulled away so they could look into each others eyes. If his heart wasn't ready to pound out of his chest before, it certainly was now. He studied and studied the look on her face and still couldn't figure out what she was thinking. At most, she looked surprised. Did she want him to do that? Was he wrong to make such a move? He wished she would say something. It took him a moment to realize they were back to not using words to convey what they were thinking. He knew what she was asking of him now with that look in her eye. She wanted him to kiss her again, only the right way this time. He leaned down again to give her a soft kiss on her lips. For a moment, it was all he could muster. He held her tightly in his arms, not wanting to ever let her go. Could she feel him shaking in fear? As best as he could, he tried to conjure whatever was left of that whole courage thing. He kissed her again, this time being more than only a brief peck. Their kiss was soft and innocent since it was something he had been waiting to do for the longest time. He noticed he didn't feel afraid anymore. He felt something more, an aching desire for here, the same one he's suppressed all these years. It surfaced so quickly, making their kiss more heated. His tongue moved against hers calmly at first then quickly changed to desperately devouring it. She wasn't fighting it all. She accepted it gladly, pulling him closer by tugging her hands at the collar of his white jacket. 

He laid her down on his desk, not breaking his lips away from hers. He never realized how badly he wanted her until right now. His fingers ed her white shirt while his other hand traveled to her thigh through her black trousers. He made sure it was locked around his hip while his tongue ravished hers. Her fingers tangled in his silky black hair. Their breathing turned into panting, but they didn't want to stop to gasp for air. He was ready for her. Right here and now. Why did they waste so much time over the years? If he knew they would actually make it to this point, he would've found the courage to do so a long time ago. Unfortunately, their session was interrupted by a knock at the window. They both looked to see Eunhyuk and Sungmin on the other side, failing to act like they weren't eagerly watching the hot scene in front of them.

"Hey guys." Eunhyuk waved. Sungah's hands were still in Ryeowook's hair as was his hand on her thigh, his eyes widened from how mortified he was. Sungah's shirt was still open too, making both Eunhyuk and Sungmin smirk.

"Hey, Sungah. You're still coming with us, right?" Sungmin asked through the window.

"We have to do something import

Chapter 2: Chapter 1: Almost sobbing this first chapter is so sad! I feel so bad for MinJi she had to watch her father die, but still stayed silent per his request. And to top it off she doesn’t have her mother’s ring anymore?

Chapter 23: As the last chapter, I want to go over all of the characters.
First of, Minji. Minji had her father stolen from her and she was destined to find the man who killed him. She went to the town to find the bounty hunter, who had a big story of his own. Her perception of each character changed as the story went on. The way I see it, is that Minji has a very malleable opinion. Where she will change her mind given a circumstance. That being said, she could be easily tricked, as she was fooled by Heechul's calm demeanor at the beginning and weary of Kyuhyun's suspicious behavior.
Kyuhyun is where he is today because he's a natural protector. He wanted to protect his mother and Henry and even Zhoumi. He stood up against the tyrants who wanted to steal money from Zhoumi, accidentally killing one of them. The Chinese mafia decided to take revenge by taking out the people he cared for to "teach" Kyuhyun a lesson. This made Kyuhyun stone cold and sometimes he relives his past. Whenever he gets put in a familiar situation, it's like something in him snaps and he forgets that this is reality. It could be seen again with Sungah and Jack; Ryeowook and Sungah; and Sungah with Eunhyuk's bull fighting. He's a protector and won't stop at anything to kill someone to protect.
Donghae is an interesting one. He's been through literal hell by the people who were supposed to take care of him. The Church is a place you should be getting guidance and discipline, not torture. I hate it when people call orphans rejects. Donghae and Yesung thrived off each other's energy. And while Yesung's adulthood was short, he explored everything he ever wanted to: alcohol, , and being a hunter. Donghae still has emotional and physical scars, but he's able to contain himself relatively well.
Ryeowook had the most character development, in my opinion (not just because he's my bias). He went from being a scared giraffe to a courageous stallion. I know he wasn't able to keep Sungah safe in the end, but he genuinely cared about her. He had his eyes on her since the day they met, he bit his tongue, and got walked all over just so he could make Sungah happy. I'm glad that they could share "I love you" and die in each other's arms.
Leeteuk and Shindong were a mess! XD They're funny but stupid. I could never tell if Leeteuk was drunk or sober, because he acted the same in either state! It's giving old Western movies with the henchmen who can't do anything right. I'm here for it <3 Heechul thought he was slick, but involving those two in his plot was the biggest mistake.
Sungmin and the mafia were interesting. Like the mafia "cared" about family, yet Sungjin was literally disowned and killed. What logic? I'm glad Sungmin got out of there. I hope that the people at the capital don't search for him though. Seeing one of his men killed on that train is a clear sign something in San Mar is going down.
Giving a big shout out to the ladies and Kangin for making it out alive (aside from Sungah). Hopefully Kangin and Missy can be right for each other. ^^

Over all, it was a wonderful story! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to read it. <3 Good luck with the sequel (and I voted Wookie in your poll, if that was even a surprise).

Chapter 22: So much happened in this chapter, oh my goodness. Where do I begin? Heechul, you know damn well nothing has ever changed. The moment you killed Yesung was the moment you didn't value life anymore. It wasn't just stealing anymore, it was murder. You didn't care how many people you had to kill to get what you wanted. I'm sure he would even kill Leenah if it meant he could fulfill his desires. Leenah loves the toxic relationship - she only agrees to Heechul's crimes because she loves him. Nope.. She's mentally ill at that point. Especially if at the end, she didn't see anything wrong. Now let's talk about the end of this chapter....

YOU KNOW I LOVE WOOKIE!! How could yoU!! My poor baby Wookie and Sungah! How- why- Sadness.. I can understand why Wook would shoot himself, the one thing that brought him happiness; the person he had to wait so long to have.. Kyuhyun had to watch Wook and Sungah die, just like he saw Henry and his mother die. Tears of pain.. Donghae, I don't blame you for wanting to kill Heechul, but yes, I think it's best if you go take a stroll to calm your nerves. After everything that happened, he doesn't want to invite Soonyee with him just for the possibility of her getting killed too. Yesung lived his best life out of the orphanage, I don't think he had any regrets lol Maybe not getting one more shot of liquor in. XD I love how Shindong and Leeteuk just wake up AFTER all of the drama. They're like, Huhhhhh? XD Like yeah, you guys missed it lol

Chapter 21: Aigoo~ The teamwork in this chapter! I like how Eunhyuk and Minji actually got along and didn't cause any trouble. I mean, I was a little scared when Eunhyuk was going to be on their team, but he proved himself to be useful! I actually liked Leeteuk's method. He kinda did help.. Just a bit. It made everyone confused, it created an opening to start fighting hahah But it's such a Leeteuk thing to just say, "peace~" And jump out of the train lol Sungmin redeemed himself though. He shot one of his men, the dude who tortured Kyuhyun in the beginning. I think that was perfect. Kyuhyun has been through a lot, but after being protected by the person he thought betrayed him, I think it's safe to say he won't hold a grudge on the moment anymore. The last thing to do is get Leeteuk, Heechul, and Shindong arrested: then everyone can have their closure.
I can't wait to see what Kangin, Sungah, and Ryeowook have been up to while the others almost died~ ^^

Chapter 20: Immediately, I was so relieved. Like yes, Sungmin was sent to actually kill Kyuhyun. But he decided he didn't want the heir and he didn't want to kill Kyuhyun. He wanted to live on as if nothing ever happened. The unfortunate part is that he did kinda betray Kyuhyun. While he didn't kill Kyuhyun's family, it was Sungmin who informed the family about Kyuhyun. I'm glad that Kyuhyun had both the support of Sungah and Minji. But the revelation! It was Leeteuk and Heechul who killed Minji's father! I honestly didn't see that coming. Now hearing how Leeteuk was a masked man on the train and killed Yesung, I was starting to get suspicious. But this- nope, didn't see it. Does Heechul remember Minji? Or was it something he forgot as he turned into a "changed man?" I know he didn't see Minji, but I wonder if he made the connection. I'm super happy for Eunhyuk and Victoria's relationship! It's getting better, but it's still a bit bumpy.
Now the end, where Missy is being all flirty. Like girl, come now, you know he's taken. But I won't blame Kyuhyun if he did something to her to get the information. I mean, hormones are real. And Missy probably hasn't gotten any for a day or two lol Bring it on!!
I just wanna say, Heechul and Leeteuk are giving sibling energy. One always has to be the "responsible" one while the other one does whatever they want. Perhaps if Leeteuk didn't follow Heechul, they wouldn't be in trouble. But I still feel like Heechul would have tried getting the crown. He lost it when Siwon got shot. Lucky for me, I watched the MV *snaps fingers a few times* he didn't die~~ Heheh

Chapter 19: Okay, but seriously, Eunhyuk is giving spicy Latina vibes. I work with a lot of Hispanic ladies, and it brings me back to their Spanglish. XD I also see that Wookie and Sungah are having their little bit of romantic time over there. They can't keep their hands off each other too~ 😏You know Heechul is out of options when he starts blackmailing. He knew he would get under Kyuhyun's skin by exposing Sungmin like that. When he said Sungmin was the mafia leader's son, I literally stood up and walked away from my laptop for almost a whole minute - staring out of the window as everything I knew had been a lie. I know how Kyuhyun felt after Heechul exposed Sungmin. Remembering about his mom and Henry's death, I can understand why he turned to rage. Even if Sungmin changed, he shouldn't have kept that from Kyuhyun. Unfortunately, I don't think there would have been any good way for Sungmin to tell Kyuhyun though. There would be no trust between them, because Kyuhyun is always there to avenge his family. I see his and Sungah's relationship more as a mother-son relationship. Because from the moment he saw Sungah in trouble with Jack, he saw it as an opportunity to correct himself - to protect the lady in danger. He couldn't protect his mother, but he could protect Sungah. It's going to take a minute or two for Kyuhyun to recover from today, but I hope he'll come to terms soon. For the sake of the town.

Chapter 18: Shindong and Leeteuk are the hilariously doomed duo. You have one who can't shoot and then you have another one who has no control. But they're both kinda dumb. What do you expect though? (Especially with Leeteuk) I wasn't impressed with Heechul's manipulation. Leenah, you can find a better person to be your kiddo's father figure. Heechul's gonna go to jail, and you know it. *smh* Leeteuk had one job and he failed horribly. Heechul, you promised Leenah a good life, and now you're letting her friends get hurt without a care in the world. And that's what greed does to you. He wants Sungmin's crown so he can sell it and get money. If he kept working hard with honesty, he can provide a happy life for Leenah and his kid. But he wants more. And that has been Heechul's mistake.

Chapter 16: From the beginning of the chapter and evil till the end of the chapter, I kept saying: "Yesung is too loose, he's too much of a party boy. He's gonna die because he's reckless." Uhhhh Yeah. Yesung, I love yah honey, but.. Dude. You were supposed to listen to Donghae and go about things better. But Yesung took the Donghae approach, which is to just start hitting. While that's slightly worked for Donghae, you should have kinda stepped back, Yesung. It is sad that Yesung's dad is the mafia leader. I know Donghae's next mission is to kill him. As for the masked men... LEETEUK!! How dare you be a part of Donghae's past. I don't know how Donghae hasn't just shot Leeteuk yet (current time). Cuz like.. I would have.
And on a less serious note.. Donghae and Yesung had been sleeping around a lot on their journeys (well especially Yesung, since he's a player). I wonder if they have any children they don't know about. XD

Chapter 15: Poor baby Donghae.. It's heartbreaking to know that Donghae had to see both of his parents die, and his sister. Seeing his father shoot himself was even more devastating. I wish that his father gave him to a friend or brought him to another town. He didn't deserve the mistreatment. Thankfully, I've never had to go to a Catholic school, but I have a friend that did. She didn't get beat up, but she was definitely mistreated. I can just imagine, Yesung in the dark corner, shaking every time the door to the cellars opens. Always living in the shadow because he knows that he's just a mistake. While sister Kim loves him, she can't show it in front of Park. I know that the boys got out safely, but I have a suspicion that either Kim was put in the cellar the next morning, or beaten to death by Park. She's not going to be set free unless it's through death, which might be better than being trapped in the orphanage.
I feel like there's more to Donghae's past though, that can't be it. I have a feeling that Yesung is going to be murdered, and I dunno if I'm ready for it. We'll have to see~

Chapter 14: YAS Wook's side of the story!! I feel so bad for Wookie, he always had love for Sungah. During the western era, classrooms weren't too big yet. In early America days, before Americans declared independence from the Crown, many children were homeschooled. Teachers with a what we now know as a high school diploma came to each house of lords to teach the children. Classrooms were introduced in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Arranged marriages are still a thing, especially in Asian culture, so with Sungah being married off to wealth is very realistic. The unfortunate part is that most wealthy men in this time period were snobs and didn't care much for their women. I'm glad that Wook wanted to kill Jack himself, and got to shoot the fatal bullet. That was definitely the closure he needed.
Let's agree with Hannah: take the fake mustache off, Siwon. You're having a mid-life crisis lol Kyuhyun is already killing people and it was his first day out of Siwon's house! Dude! Chill! I like how one of the only rules was to NOT have a weapon and the first thing he did was swipe Siwon's gun XD Kudos for Kyuhyun killing that guy though. He was literally scum.
So Sungmin started it!! He wanted a little mafia of his own hahah Maybe he did something illegal in the capital, hm?
