The club was packed tonight! Huffing, Blu chugged down her shot glass. Annoyance was caused by how everything in her life was, until recently, someone else's to control.

Blu's parents always wanted her to be perfect. Perfect posture, perfect hair, the perfect dress, perfect shoes, and yada yada! So to say that she had the most normal life wouldn't hurt! More like Blu was forced to live that way.

She was a student with pretty good grades and exactly 2 friends, whom her elite-class lawyer parents didn't consider hooligans, who she'd met halfway through High School.
And no boys!

"Are these boys blind or something? I mean, why don't they use their eyes for frick's sake?!" Blu's best friend Kya hissed, chugging down her shot. She had just finished yelling at a random guy. When all he did was ask to dance with her.

"I am not into dicks, for heck's sake! Don't they see this Goddess on my arm?" She turned to her girlfriend of two years, Zara.

Blu, Kya, and Zara were maybe why the proverbs,' Don't judge a book by its cover' or 'The morning doesn't always show the day' existed. Because the 3 of them were called Nerd, Basic and, Rich Bitch when they were in school.

If these 3 came across the old classmates from High School, they'd have nothing to do but gawk!
They were like 3 peas in a pod. Call it destiny or whatever, but these guys had pretty similar situations.

Kya was always disciplined by her elegant and posh mother, who Blu personally thought had horrible taste in perfumes. Not her fault she smelt like sweat and pee mixed! Zara was forced into the stereotypical nerdy image with large glasses and worn-out sweaters wherever she went. All thanks to her sister, who absolutely had no life. And then there was Blu.

The three of them seemed to know what it was like to be the passenger in the car of your own life. How it felt to let someone else steer you, control you.
And everything had an expiry date. And it was the same with that period in life.

Making it alive out of high school, three of them applied for the same college. And they got in!
Now, here they were, quite a thousand miles away from the ones who made them feel like shit.
Where these girls could steer your life as they pleased. And where Blu's best friends could love each other with no one judging them. Where Blu could finally find someone to test her heart.

Growing up, Blu had had zero experience with boys. Given the fact, that her parents were teen parents.

Her mum had Blu when she was 18 and when her dad was 19. And they truly regretted having a kid soo early. Which is the reason she was never allowed near boys. Blu's parents believed if left to themselves, young adults like her would end up ruining their lives as they did. Parents like hers believed in 'cutting off the affected part of the body to get rid of the pain' solutions. This was why Blu spent almost 18 years of her life dressing and behaving like a nun.

But gone were the days when she let her parents control her.

"Baby, it's okay! In all honesty, I can't blame them when you look like a 7-course meal I'd love to savour." Zara said, kissing Kya. Blu shook her head at her best friends' cheesiness but, the thing is, she loved how they loved each other with no fear for the world.

"Hold up! Before the both of you start sucking each other's faces off in front of me, take your horny asses to the dance floor. I'm not in the mood for PDA." She said, chugging yet another shot down. Zara threw a shot glass at Blu which, she dodged.

"You're such a Love Killa, Blu!" Zara tutted, grabbing Kya's arm. "Let's go, babe! I really like this song." And they were on the dance floor, already turning into a grinding and groping mess.

Their silver and bronze bodies glittered in the club lights as they swayed against each other, occasionally kissing and laughing! Kya even managed to blow Blu a kiss that Zara soon followed.

Blu laughed, sipping your tequila shot, already getting the fact that she was going to have to drag the two of them back home at the end of the night. A new song came in. It was like it was literally begging her to get on the dance floor. So, Blu did!

Swaying, she shone in the darkness. Blu's white bodycon one-shouldered number was an exception against the numerous glittery and sparkly dresses all over the club. And maybe that's why she caught his eye.

He was sitting on the floor overlooking the dance floor, aka the VIP lounge. "You've been staring at her for long enough, Boss." He didn't bother looking away from her dancing figure. He knew the voice of his gang's treasurer all too well.

"So, what do you want me to do, Suho?" He asked, sipping on his whiskey. "At least approach her today, Boss!" joined their Underboss. "I don't have time for this, Lay! Not at least today! When Tao and Luhan are gonna be here." With that, he practically tore his eyes off Blu and left.

"When do you think he's gonna go ahead then just staring at her from a distance?" Sehun took a sip from his drink, joining the Treasurer and the Underboss. "When he stops being a fucking pussy!" Lay said, frustrated with the Leader's way of handling things.

He knew Blu a little more than they all did.

After all, he was the one who was sent to her university to watch over her. He watched her closely! How she lived, how she thought. And that surprised Lay.

How Blu was soo savage and cold but protective and caring to those who had her trust. Lay knew it better than anyone before he'd experienced both of those sides. And he knew. That if anyone could bring Xiumin out of the hole he lived in, it was Blu. And he wanted his best friend out of that sickly lifestyle he lived.

"I know you're worried. But he is the boss himself. He listens to no one." Suho said, thumping the Underboss's shoulder. "Ah fuck it!" Lay took off downstairs.

Meanwhile, Blu was grooving to the beat while her hair flew around. And like that, Xiumin was staring at her.

"You guys match today." It was someone who Xiumin had least expected. "Huh?!" Xiumin said, looking back at her. True, they were wearing the same colour.

"So what about it?" Xiumin asked, looking at the Brains of his team. "I know it is too cheesy for you and that you don't want to think about it. But, remember, you're not the only one staring." D.O jerked his chin in the direction of the floor Xiumin just left. There was Lay.

Who was staring at Blu intently?

"She's mine," Xiumin growled as he felt his anger rising. "I know you like having it your way. If someone else ends up stealing her heart, you won't be able to rule over her. You might end up succeeding in forcing her to stay with you but trust me! That's not how you want her, Minseok Hyung." Having made his point, Kyungsoo walked away.

Xiumin sighed, drinking the amber liquid inside his crystal glass. It had been a while since anyone had called him Minseok and, that name did something to him.

Xiumin kept on watching as she grooved, danced, and let the music take over her. And amongst all of this, he noticed something that made his blood boil!

"Hello, beautiful!" Whispered a voice over the music. Blu tilted her head to find a man dancing really close to her. Usually, she'd push him away but combined with the alcohol in her system and the rebellious nature coursing through her veins, Blu just let him be. They both moved with the music as she turned and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Hello to you too, handsome!" She smiled. His face was innocent but, his eyes and his aura told otherwise. He smirked, jutting his jaw out. Blu felt like it was sharp enough to cut through her skin. "You here for some reason?" He leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "Nah, just chilling! What about you?"

He wrapped an arm around Blu's waist, so she could see what she had obviously missed in the flashing lights of the club. The piercing on his lip. That made him look hotter than he already is.
He noticed her were looking at it and smirked. Your stomach felt funny all of a sudden.

"For some business! My name's Tao," He asked, grabbing Blu's hips. His hair was messy, of course! But dear God! If messy hair always looked this sexy, she'd throw away all her hairbrushes. A few silky strands fell on his face while the rest was somehow still standing atop his head, in a perfect quiff. "Blu." She whispered in his ear as she felt him hold her tighter.

She did not know why it felt wrong all of a sudden! But it did. And Blu tried her best to shrug the feeling off.

"Well, I need to go now, Blu, but will you be staying till late?" He asked, smiling. She managed a smile and nodded, checking on Zara and Kya from the corner of her eye. Yup! Definitely staying. "I'll be sure to see you then!" He left one chastising kiss on her jaw before walking away into the crowd. Blu brought herself out, breathing heavily! What the heck was her problem?

She did not have someone to maintain loyalty to! Then why was she suddenly feeling like she was cheating when she was close to Tao? What was happening to her? Blu held her head between her hands, trying to calm her shit down. A sudden flash of memory passed her vision.

A smile. A voice. A face. Blu jolted! Why was she thinking of him? He was not looking for a relationship! She was nothing but a one-night stand for him. Then why was she thinking of him?

Flashback

It was like any other Friday night! Where Blu and her friends danced and drank the night away in the club.

But that day, she was alone. Because apparently, her two best friends wanted the flat to themselves. You know for what!

So she just hung around the bar, trying to kill time. When an arm snaked around her waist, making her shiver.

"You seem alone!" He pointed, sipping down on what seemed like whiskey."Yeah. But what's it to you?" She asked, sipping her drink. He leaned closer before biting the shell of Blu's ear. "Because I want you!" His voice sent shivers down her core and, Blu turned to look at him.
She was almost as tall as him in her high heels and, his face was soo adorable that she almost cooed. How could someone with such an adorable face be soo forward and shameless with his desires?

"Why should I? I don't know your name, and nor do you know mine. I don't even know what you are or what you do! Sorry, but Mommy told me to stay away from strangers." Blu was only teasing but, the way he grabbed her arm and pulled her onto him made her gasp! "The name's Xiumin, love. And about my work, let's just say I'm not a very good guy. Now, what's yours?" His breath fanned all over her face and, Blu could smell whiskey and mint.

"Blu." She replied, holding onto his shoulder. She somehow felt safe in his arms. "So, miss Blu, tell me! Are you into good boys or bad boys?" He had an arm wrapped around her waist and, he was essentially pressing her against him. Something shifted inside Blu. Something made her relax. Blu wound her arms around his neck and whispered into his ear, "Bad boys please, Sir!"

Xiumin growled as he slammed his lips to hers, glueing her body to his. Blu's arms around his neck tightened as he pulled both of them out of the bar. It wasn't the first time Blu had hooked up with a stranger. But Xiumin was the first man who'd made her feel loved. Safe. And cared for.

And he was the first man, whom she'd fallen asleep after. But Blu's heart broke into pieces the next morning when she woke up to an empty bed.

It was like all she had experienced last night was a dream but, the bruises all around her neck and hips told otherwise. From that day, Blu bore a grudge. A fit of slow-burning anger towards the mystery guy she met.

End of Flashback

Tears sprung out of her eyes as she thought how lonely and used she felt that morning. Blu genuinely liked Xiumin and, he made her feel like a slut!

Yanking a napkin out of the counter, she carefully dabbed her eyes in an attempt to not spoil her make-up because whether she liked it or not, Blu was gonna get a man tonight.

"Something seems to be wrong with her." Suho hissed, looking at the tall man beside him. "Of course there is Suho! Ugh, Xiumin!" Said the only female voice in the lounge.

"You sure about your assumption, Mei?" Chanyeol said, looking at his girlfriend. "I've talked to her quite a lot! And she seems to have trouble moving on from the fact that Xiumin left without a word the next morning." She looked at Suho.

"This Hyung always keeps on messing up, doesn't he?" Chanyeol said, looking at the girl who was either crying or crying. "You guys!" Baekhyun rushed with his gun in his hand. "What's wrong?" Suho said cocking an eyebrow up. "Chen Hyung just told me that we might expect an attack tonight. We have to be alert."

Xiumin and Tao sat on either side of the couch, glaring at each other. Lu Han was on the edge of their nerves, cautious. He was ready to stop Tao from making Xiumin angrier than he already is. They'd worked with Xiumin and, they knew his anger issues all too well. And they feared it!

No matter what the reason was why they left the team that brought the position. Luhan and Tao never lost respect towards Xiumin. Or towards the team, they grew with.

"I really didn't know you liked her, Hyung! I'll back off!" Tao said, his face apologetic.
Xiumin's tensed body relaxed as he fell back on the couch. "I shouldn't have lost my cool. I'm sorry, Tao!" Xiumin said, massaging his temples. Something was not right! And everyone could feel it.

Suddenly, a scream pierced the whole club! All of the members sprung into position as a bang of a bullet going off sounded. Chen and Kai sprung into action, dragging the team members to safety.

"Who in their right minds would be this idiotic to anger us!" Kai yelled as they walked down the stairs. Almost crawled, that is. "Who else!?! Ugh! I really can't with them!" Sehun said, jerking in the direction of the intruders. It was their all-time rival!

And they were here in hopes of taking over one of the many clubs that EXO owned.

"I've given enough chances to those fuckers but, this is ridiculous! Evacuate the club! Make sure that none of these shits goes out alive!" Xiumin hissed, really mad. "Yes, boss!" Baekhyun, Sehun, and Mei nodded.

The 3 of them ran down and, Mei punched the emergency alarm on her way. That worked like magic! People began running for their lives out of the club. But there was a huddle! Of 3 people in one corner. And Sehun noticed that.

"Oh my God, Kya!" Blu sobbed, pushing down on her best friend's wound using a sleeve of her dress. "Blu, we need to get out of here. Kya needs medical attention." Zara said, her voice shaking.

Apparently, a wayward bullet from the intruders hit Kya and, the bleeding didn't seem to stop.
Zara might've acted strong, but one could tell by the way her voice shook. She was scared! Blu looked around and knew what they had to do.

"Get out! Get the heck out of this place! Nothing can be done! Get Kya and go!" Zara didn't even bother to answer. She lifted Kya in her arms and just began creeping towards the emergency exit. Kya and Zara were successfully out and, Blu was on her way when she felt a rough hand clamp around her ankle. "Go!" She yelled and slammed the door in Zara's face. Before she caught on, Blu was dragged back inside the deserted club!

"Oh shit! This is not good!" Baekhyun hissed as he saw Blu struggling with a guy from their rival side."Oh, look what I found?" The man hissed, struggling with Blu as she fought with all she had. "You'd be perfect as a maid, pretty! Boss is gonna be pleased!" Blu had her anger go through the roof.

She averted her eyes to his waist, where a gun carelessly hung from his hip pocket and, she knew what she had to do. And in came Mei, Baekhyun, and Sehun charging at the man! "The fuck do you think you're doing?" Mei yelled, punching the man off Blu! 

"Bold of you to assume I'd let you be after you interrupted me not once but thrice!" Xiumin said through gritted-out teeth and shot the leader. All of them were in the different parts of the club and busy taking the enemy down. The only ones who weren't back were Mei, Sehun, and Baekhyun.

"Where are these three?" Suho said, looking around. "I sent them to the far end of the club! There were rarely people in there. What's taking them so long?" Lay said, reloading his gun. In case the younger were in danger!

"You little son of a bitch!" Came an unfamiliar scream. The remaining members exchanged baffled looks before rushing down to where the scream came from!

There they saw Sehun and Baekhyun punching off two boys while two others held down Mei and Blu. Chanyeol and Xiumin's eyes seemed downright murderous as they charged forward with their guns open! But they had to stop!

Mei was held in a headlock by a man twice her size and, the girl was almost choking!
She contemplated for one second before bending her knees and using all the strength she had to slam the man to the floor, shoulder first. The boys winced as the shoulder fell to the floor with an audible crack! "Freaking bastard!" She hissed, wiping the blood off her nose, while Chanyeol gawked at his girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Blu was pinned down on the floor by the shoulders of a guy taller than Chanyeol. "I'll ask this once! Get the fuck off me, you son of a bitch!" The boys recognized her voice from earlier! "How about no, Barbie!" The man hissed, cackling! Blu let out a breath as though giving up and said, "Oh, you asked for it, fucktard!"

In a flash, her legs were tangled around the guy's neck and, she pushed herself up, the positions changing in the blink of an eye. Now Blu was the one strangling the guy with her hips while also pulling at his hair. And she did not let go until the guy passed out of lack of air.

"I am never ever coming back to this God-forsaken club ever again!" Blu hissed, panting heavily. "Blu, you okay?" Mei approached her. "Mei?! What are you-" She looked around and saw Lay and Xiumin.

"So, you're with him, huh?" Her face twisted in anger. "Blu, listen first!" Mei grabbed her arm. "Mei, I really don't wanna stay anymore. My best friend is shot and, God knows where! I really don't have the time to listen to what explanation you cook up for this mess! I'll go!"

Blu had her reasons. Being left alone, blind-sided, and put in danger just so, Xiumin could take all the time he wanted to before taking things further with her. She was tired, angry, and hurt.

"You can't go now," Xiumin said, not looking at Blu. She whipped around and glared at him.
"And who are you to stop me?" She asked through gritted teeth.

It was like all the anger, hurt, and emotions she felt that morning after just rose up again!
Who did he think he was?

"You can't go there, to them! Because they saw you with us. They'll come after you. Thinking you're associated with us. They're not safe with you around them." Blu's mouth fell open as she looked away! "So now what do I do? Huh! Xiumin, what the fuck do I do? Stay with you?! Be the sex doll you fancy!? I'd rather die than live that life!"

The rest of them watched as angry tears streamed down Blu's face. Xiumin pulled his hands out of his pockets and walked towards Blu, his face unreadable. He softly touched her hands and made her look at him.

"You are not a sex doll! I know you're mad but, trust me! I never intended to make you feel like that. I like you, Blu. But, I had to deal with something. And I felt really terrible leaving! And since that time, I have been looking for you. This is why I asked Lay and Mei to watch over you. I have been meaning to talk to you all these weeks! But I figured you wouldn't want to see me after I basically made you feel like a slut!" Blu looked at Xiumin, her eyes teary.

But this time, they showed a different emotion. "Stay with us, Blu, please!" Xiumin begged, genuinely scared about her safety. The members swore they'd never seen Xiumin smile soo wide when Blu had nodded her yes.

"So, is the boss joining today?" Luhan asked, holding his wife's waist with one hand and a champagne glass in the other. "Of course he is. They might be here soon!" Chanyeol said, sipping on his drink. "He better be, Yeol! It's his niece before anyone else." Mei said, patting her 5-month-old baby bump.

"Finally someone acknowledges!" They turned at the voice. Xiumin walked in, a smile gracing his face with his arm around Blu clad in a red dress.

"HYUNG!" Baekhyun yelled, making Blu laugh. They walked in, and Blu carefully but excitedly hugged Mei. Xiumin congratulated Chanyeol and joined everyone in chattering.

"You guys are going strong, huh Hyung?" Tao said, clinking glasses with Blu. "Of course! Do you think anything would change in the past 5 years?"

Xiumin and Blu smiled at each other, their chemistry evident even for the on-lookers. Lay sighed, his eyes fixated on the couple, sipping down on his whiskey.

"You did the right thing, you know that right?" Kai joined him. "I might be the only person in life to regret doing the right thing." Lay sipped on his drink.

"Nope! You aren't. But hey! On the bright side, we'll be having another chance, won't we? To find someone or not? It's freedom for us, Hyung!" Lay cracked a smile as he raised his glass at Kai, "Cheers to that, I guess?" They clicked glasses, laughing. It was good, at the end of the day.

Blu wrapped her arm around Xiumin's neck, smiling. They were the King and Queen of the World they lived in. The 21st Century Bonnie and Clyde.

You make this world a little wild 
And we shout through crowded streets 
Turn up the noise and make it loud
And let the world fall at our feet

It was quite long. But I enjoyed writing it.

Xiumin is an adorable guy and there are times when I wonder if he really is the oldest, because boiii is a marshmallow bebe

Anyway, thank you TheSassyCupid for the suggestion.

Next, maybe someone from Exo's maknae line or maybe a BTS member?

Anyway, the Bonnie and her Clyde

See you all soon~

Good bye~

Love 

Fay
