Guns and Roses || Taeyong (NCT) x Reader || Mafia AU || Gender Neutral

| Fight | Chapter 44 |

By the time that all of you had gotten back to the base, everyone else had given up on speaking to you for the time being, so they left you and Taeyong in his office. Taeil decided that although most of your wounds looked like they had already been dressed, he wanted to make sure that they were done properly, but as all the others had done, he left you alone with Taeyong.

"I know you probably don't want to listen to me right now, but I can explain," Taeyong says. Instead of letting him continue, you smack his cheek and glare at him.

"Y'know, if you hadn't kept me here maybe none of this would have had to happen," you say. Taeyong ignores the stinging in his cheek as he continues to try to speak.

"If you hadn't stayed here, maybe they would have taken you earlier, I'm not trying to convince you that everything is okay because you might slap me again if I do that. But as you now know, I am the leader of the gang NCT, and because everything has gone the way that it has, you're going to need to join the gang."

"And if I don't want to?"

"Nothing, but I can't promise your safety."

"You couldn't even promise it in the first place, you dumbass."

"I'd love to deny that, but I can't really. It's a lot easier to protect you if you're in the gang though, because then we'll actually know where you are at all times instead of having to have some of the members follow you at all times."

You slowly walked up to him, and watched as he backed up till his legs were resting on the side of his desk. "For a leader of a gang, you're quite scared of me." You then place one of your hands to the side of him. "As much as I hate the idea of being in a gang, it seems like it'd be the best option for the both of us, so I'll have to take you up on it."

"Wait, really?"

"If I didn't say yes, I might as well go jump off a bridge."
