It was the morning after their wedding, and Aera woke up late. She heard some noise outside her room, so putting her slippers on, she walked outside.

It was donghyuck. Making breakfast.

"What a rare sight to see a mafia making breakfast." She sighed.

"For his wife." He added.

"You don't have to remind me." She rolled her eyes.

"Did you brush your teeth?" He asked.

"No." She said.

"Go and brush your teeth." He ordered.

"Bruh, stop ordering me around. I'll do whatever I want." She said.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Taeyong's holding a dinner party tonight. Wear something nice."

"I should be the one saying that to you." She said, walking away.

It was about time for the dinner, and they were both getting ready.

Standing in front of the full length mirror, she checked herself for the last time.

Putting on the bright red tint on her lips, she smirked. She looked hot.

Donghyuck walked into the room wearing a white shirt with 2 buttons from the top unbuttoned, and his black blazer hanging on his forearm. He looked hot too.

He seemed to freeze for a second, his eyes going down to the slit in her dress and then to her collarbones which were on full display.

"How do I look?" She asked.

"Okay, I guess." He shrugged.

She rolled her eyes for the nth time that day, and grabbing her purse, she said, "Let's go."

Getting out of the car, she looked at Donghyuck who was waiting for her.

She linked her arm with his, and playing a fake smile on her lips, they entered the mansion.

"Oh, look, they're here." Lucas called out.

Doyoung had come forward and greeted Aera and Donghyuck. Then Taeyong and Aera's dad came and told them that they had even more important guests coming.

"They're here." Jisung came and whispered in Taeyong's ears to which he just nodded.

"Come on, Mr. Hwang and Donghyuck." Taeyong said walking away, and Donghyuck let himself free from Aera's grip.

She sighed. She was going to be alone again.

"Aera, you need to come too." Taeyong said, and she felt Donghyuck grab her waist and lead her to where they were going.

"Hello, Mr. Kim. it's a pleasure to finally meet you." Mr. Hwang shook hands with a man as old as him.

"Same to you." Mr. Kim nodded.

"I must introduce you to Taeyong, the leader of NCT." Mr. Hwang said.

"Pleasure." Mr. Kim shook hands with Taeyong.

"This is my son in law, Donghyuck, and the best assassin in NCT, and my daughter, Hwang Aera. I reckon we'll be needing her help in this mission." Mr. Hwang said.

"What?" Donghyuck asked, unwrapping her arms from her waist.
