Lookissm

Daniel had fucked up. The minute he opened his eyes he couldn't help but let out a groan. Memories of the previous night had come rushing back into his mind and he couldn't blame it on anything except for himself.

He hadn't been intoxicated. He hadn't taken any drugs. He in his own rush and haze had prepositioned Jong Gun Park, his employer and they had…they had done what? Was it sex? No. There was no penetration so it couldn't have been sex…right? Yet, they had made out and Gun had given him a blow job.

Rolling around in the bed, Daniel let out a muffled scream.

"How could I have done that? I swore I wouldn't have sex with any of my patients but then I go and have some sexual randevu with my employer? How is that any better?" He grumbles as he runs a hand through his hair. "No, that was just a one-time thing, one moment where I lost all of my sanity, it won't happen again" Daniel huffs to himself before slapping his cheeks and getting out of bed.

"It meant nothing," Daniel nods before going to wash up.

Throughout the day, despite telling himself that the whole situation with Gun was nothing he couldn't stop thinking about the pleasure he felt. Never in Daniel's life had he felt so out of control in his life. The warmth of another person's body… ignited a longingness that the Doctor didn't know he could feel.

"Doctor, are you alright?" James asks from behind his desk as Daniel passes him the report on what happened with Jin Jang the previous night.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine now" Daniel replies but the redhead shakes his head.

"No, I don't mean that, although I'm glad what happened didn't dishearten you, what I mean is are you okay right now? You seem a little out of it" James rephrases his words and Daniel nods.

"Sorry, I just have a lot on my mind" Daniel sighs, rubbing his neck in embarrassment.

"I see," James hums before nodding. "Well thank you for letting me know about this, it's true that we don't tolerate such behaviour at the CC. Action will be taken care of immediately and you won't have to worry about Jin Jang anymore" He informs and Daniel smiles, pleased by the response.

"Alright, I'll get going then" Daniel tells the other who nods for him to leave.

"Oh, and Daniel" James calls, making the younger man pause.

"Yes?" He replies.

"Despite being lost in thought, you do look a lot less tense. You're glowing" James compliments which makes Daniel flush.

"O-Oh, thanks…anyways I'll take my leave" And with that, Daniel rushes out of the office before grabbing his cheeks.

There was no way he was glowing, he had done nothing different to his face. Nothing had changed in his routine except him and Gun…

Letting out another long-suffering sigh, Daniel heads back to his office.

For the rest of the day, Daniel contemplated his life choices. His head was spinning with the information that he would cross the line and act in such a ludicrous way with his 'Boss' not that Gun was stopping him from doing it. The thought of going to training that night with said man made him sick but he knew that if he ran away Gun would get pissed at him. Especially after all that talk about not being a coward.

So as night falls and Daniel gingerly walks towards the gym he can't help the million thoughts running through his head. Were they going to be doing something similar to last night? Would Gun suck him off again or were they going to move on to something else? Would Daniel allow Gun to do it or would he push him away?

Sucking in a deep breath, Daniel shuffles into the gym, taking note that Gun was inside as usual. The man pauses his exercise for a second before resuming which made Daniel both calm but also confused. Did Gun not feel as conflicted? Was he the only one that felt any different? Or was this something the elder was used to?

Silently heading to warm up, the man doesn't acknowledge him which leaves Daniel feeling even more confused. Lost in his own thoughts about what happened he doesn't notice the other figure in the room approach him before suddenly he is kicked in the butt.

"Hey!" Daniel cries out, tumbling to the floor. "What was that for?" He questions, glaring up at the other.

"You should pay more attention to your surroundings or else other people will get the drop on you" Gun muses, frowning slightly. "Whatever's got you lost in your head, forget about it and focus on me. I'm the one you should be paying attention to" he growls and Daniel can't help but roll his eyes.

"Cocky as ever I see" Daniel muses before standing up.

"Just for that comment, I'm going to work you even harder than before" Gun grins, a predatory smirk on his lips as he rolls his shoulders and cracks his knuckles.

Sweating slightly, Daniel couldn't help but think he was screwed.

.

.

.

Daniel groans slightly as he hobbles towards the showers, Gun snickering behind him.

"Come on Doc, surely you're a little more impressive than that. Walk it off!" The elder jeers and Daniel wanted nothing more than to throw something at the other.

For the last couple of hours, Daniel had been hit and thrown around more times than he could process. Apparently Gun thought it was appropriate to start teaching him some martial styles which began with Aikido. Why Aikido of all things? Daniel doesn't know.

Daniel sends him a glare before entering one of the stalls, turning on the water before he's even properly undressed.

"Don't faint in there Doc!"

"It was one time!" Daniel shouts right back, throwing his discarded T-shirt out of the stall and probably aiming in the right direction as a sudden 'oof' is heard. After a minute of silence between the two, there was a knock on his stall door. Letting out an aggravated sigh Daniel unlocks it and comes face to face with an…was the elder amused or annoyed? Daniel couldn't tell.

"I believe this belongs to you?" Gun had Daniel's shirt pinched between his thumb and index finger, slightly disgusted by the article of clothing that was drenched in sweat.

"Oh yes, thank you kind sir for returning it to me" Daniel rolls his eyes, reaching out to grab it when Gun pulls it away.

"Okay princess, you want to tell me what's wrong this time? You've been acting like a drama queen this entire night but it's different from the other times you've been distracted. You're still not thinking about quitting are you?" Gun questions, frown etched onto his face.

"I'm not thinking about quitting, you've already proven to me how it's much more of a hassle to deal with you when I try to quit than when I don't" Daniel grumbles as he reaches for the shirt only to stumble forward as the shirt is pulled even further away from his reach. "Are you done being annoying?" Daniel sneers.

"Are you done being a whiny little bitch?" Gun retorts before walking into the stall.

Eyes widening at this Daniel steps away from the elder which means he was moving into the spray of the warm water.

"Aw come on man, now my pants are getting wet" Daniel hisses in annoyance when Gun drops the shirt onto the floor and barricades the younger man against the wall with his arms.

"Was my blow job not good?" Gun questions, his voice going deep as he attempts to stare into Daniel's eyes to analyse his reaction.

"What? No, that's-hell no, that's not it all" Daniel denies. If anything it was the complete opposite.

"Then are you having regrets about what happened?" Gun continues and Daniel lets out a hiss as the other male grabs his chin and lifts it upwards to meet his gaze.

"I'm just confused," Daniel bites out. "I don't know what and how to feel after what we did" he admits, flushing as he watches the water soak through Gun's hair and clothes.

"It was just stress relief, no strings attached and everything. If you hated it then we can just forget about it and move on, if you liked it then I'm willing to do it again or whatever" Gun speaks, his voice coming out nonchalantly. "What do you want to do, Doc?" He asks and Daniel sucks in a breath.

They shouldn't do it again. They were employer and employee in a way. Co-workers at best. He shouldn't give in to a man who was known for being so dangerous. He was a fighter, a killer at worst and people warned him and spoke to the Doctor about how horrible Jong Gun Park was. So why did it all seem so thrilling?

"I don't know," Daniel answers, biting his lips to hold back any sounds he could make as the hand holding his head in place begins to slide towards his ears and neck.

"You don't know or you just don't want to answer because you're embarrassed" Gun's voice was laced with a dark undertone, the sultry vibrato making Daniel shiver despite the warmth of their bodies and the cascading water. "Come on Doc, you can answer me. It'll stay just between the both of us. I promise that if you just want to have sex without the emotional attachment it'll be fine. Just use me for all your sexual urges and pleasures, I'm sure that someone as deprived as you will have many and probably only someone like me could fulfil them all" he breathes into Daniel's ear.

Daniel couldn't prevent the whimper from escaping from his lips. Jong Gun was one of the only people in the world who could make him go crazy from both anger and lust.

"It would be mean if I was the only one who benefitted from this" Daniel states softly, tilting his head to fit into Gun's palm.

"Then we'll make it a mutual exchange, not that you would have been the only one to benefit anyway. Doing this means that you'll concentrate better, gives you an incentive and it also provides me with pleasure, how about it Doc?" He asks.

Every time that Gun called him Doc made Daniel want to rip the elder's body apart. How could one harmless word sound so degrading coming from his mouth?

"Can I help you this time?" Daniel asks instead and Gun raises a brow in confusion.

"Help me?" He replies only to hiss when Daniel's hand creeps forward and presses against his bulging erection.

"You've been hard for a while now Mr Founder" Daniel teases in return.

"How can I not be when you opened up the door all shirtless and drenched in glistening sweat" Gun moans out before tipping his head back as Daniel continues to massage his member from above his sweatpants. "I'm guessing we have a deal?" He questions, with a cocky smile on his lips.

"Shut up" Daniel rolls his eyes.

In a matter of moments, Gun's pants and boxers were pooled between his ankles, his back was pressed against the tile walls and he was panting as Daniel's hand was working around the now nude and very erect member. Daniel wasn't sure anymore about what was water and what was pre-cum, all he knew was that it was all very slick and he loved it.

Gun was a lot bigger than him in terms of length and girth and Daniel couldn't complain about it.

"Harder" Gun growls into Daniel's ear and the doctor obliges. He had never touched another man's penis before, much less jerked them off but here he was with Jong Gun's hot and heavy cock in his palm. He didn't want to squeeze too hard at the fear of hurting the elder but it seems like Gun enjoyed the sensation. "Faster" Gun urges.

Daniel's wrist was growing weary at the constant, repetitive motion but he wanted to satisfy the elder in the same way he had previously been satisfied. Gun lets out a groan as Daniel moves faster, leaning forward to bury his head into the younger man's shoulder before opening his mouth to suckle on the area. Daniel preens under the attention, under the sensations of the mouth and tongue against his sensitive neck before letting out a cry of pleasure as Gun bites down.

Gun's hands which had been previously braced against Daniel's waist to hold him steady sneak down lower to pull the younger boy's shorts down. Daniel's erect cock springs free and the male couldn't help but croon at the sight of the flushed and swollen tip.

"Your movements are too slow, let me" Gun sighs once he notices Daniel slowly losing rhythm. Grabbing both their members into his palms, Daniel yelps at the friction between the two of them. Gun's hands were calloused and rough, he knew what he wanted to do to initiate the most pleasure for the both of them and he did it without shame. Before the Doctor even knew it he was also moving his hips forward along to Guns movements.

"Gun" Daniel breathes out, the feelings of pleasure and lust rushing through his veins. His knees were buckling and if it weren't for Gun's steady and firm body holding him up he'd already be on the floor.

"I'm close" Gun mumbles, his pace quickening.

"T-Too fast" Daniel murmurs back as he shuts his eyes and rests his forehead against the other man.

Soon enough and probably too soon, the both of them came. Daniel first before Gun followed afterwards.

The minute that Guns' hands left the Doctor's body his mind seemed to clear. Yet instead of feeling as conflicted as he had felt the first time around he felt content.

"Do you always shower in scalding hot water? How do you not burn yourself?" Gun questions as he adjusts the water temperature.

"It's not that hot" Daniel replies absentmindedly.

"Your skin is turning pink" Gun retorts as he kicks his pants out of the water and begins washing himself.

"Why don't you go to another stall then if you can't stand the heat in this one, afterall I was the one to come in here first before you invaded it" Lust turned into a familiar annoyance and soon Daniel was crossing his arms and glaring at the other man in the stall.

"Well the waters already warmed up in here and I can't be bothered to leave, I'll track water all over the floors if I do" Gun reasons as he runs his hands through his wet hair. "You can leave if you'd like or you can stay and shower with me" A lop-sided, arrogant smirk appears on Gun's face, challenging Daniel and with that the younger man decides to stay just to be petty.

"Move over, stop hogging the water" He needed to wash the cum off his stomach anyways.

Shoving Gun out of the way slightly, he closes his eyes and soaks in the warmth of the water, not before adjusting the temperature again. He could hear a soft sigh escape Gun's lips but the elder does nothing else. Instead, he steps behind Daniel and presses his chest into the younger man's back.

Snapping his eyes open, Daniel turns his head to glare at Gun, his eyes flickering up and down.

"Seriously? I'm starting to think that the one who needs to get laid is you and not me" Daniel shakes his head and Gun throws his head back and laughs.

"If you think one round is enough to exhaust me then you have another thing coming, Doc. Besides, how can I not get hard when your fat ass is bare and in all its glory?" Two hands reach out to spread Daniel's plump cheeks, causing the younger to hiss in embarrassment.

"Gun."

"Just lend me your ass for a bit, Doc"

"Absolutely not"

"I won't put it in"

"I hate you so much"

.

.

.

"What are you doing back here?" Daniel asks as he turns around to face the individual who had entered.

"James said I was supposed to give my files to you so you could do an examination to see if I'm fit to fight" The high schooler announces, holding up the beige folders towards the doctor who was staring at him sceptically.

Heaving out a sigh Daniel reaches out and accepts the folder before flipping it open to read the notes.

"And who will you be fighting, Zack Lee? Didn't you say that you were too good to be fighting in a place like this? Does Mira know?" Daniel asks, scanning through the information. No allergies, no disease or illnesses, serious past injuries including one time when he broke both his arms. Closed fracture, transverse breaks in both arms. The injury was over two years ago and seeing as there was information about Zack having attended physio for it the boxer should be fine.

"Some asshole named Woojin, guys a scammer and a guy from my department fell for his scam when he was trying to buy some shoes for me a couple of years back. I couldn't find the guy back then but it sort of resurfaced and I tried confronting him about it. We got into a scuffle but then decided we'd settle it in the arena" Zack shrugs. "Seeing as he's a part of some gang from Gian High School and they're already a part of the arena. Also, yes Mira knows and she heavily disapproves of it but it's only going to be a one-time occurrence"

Gian High School. Daniel had read a couple of files where there were a couple of people associated with that school. The gang must have not been as big or as notorious as other crews but still involved with the CC because by definition they were a gang and the CC and its founders micro-managed every gang in the vicinity.

"Woojin" Daniel hums as he stands up from his chair."You know him, Doc?" Zack calls as Daniel enters his backroom, searching for a specific file until eventually he finds the one he was looking for.

"He's your age, nothing really stands out in his medical files" Daniel shrugs before snatching the object away before Zack can reach out to grab it. "This is confidential, I can't just show these things to anyone and everyone" He frowns and the boxer takes his hand back, looking slightly sheepish.

"I see," He hums. "In my files I outlined that I did boxing, in Woojin's files did he identify what he does?" Zack questions and Daniel juggles between telling the other that he couldn't disclose any more information or just telling the other.

"Boxing" He answers simply. There was nothing wrong with mentioning that fact, it wasn't private information and Zack would find out eventually.

"Ah," Zack nods, seemingly satisfied with that answer.

"Alright, take off your blazer and come sit over here so I can assess you" Daniel orders and Zack does so without question. "Alright, I'm going to give you an examination to assess not only your health and body but also to make sure that everything is in order. It'll be similar to any examination you've had with your previous GP, I'll start by taking your temperature…"

The examination goes smoothly. Zack's temperature was fine, his heart rate was a little higher than the average individual but perhaps it was due to nerves. His blood pressure was 119/70mm Hg. Daniel made sure to check the inside of the boxer's mouth, eyes and ears and just for safety precautions checked over both his arms as well.

"My arms have long since healed, I made sure of it" Zack states evenly and Daniel nods.

"Yes, I can tell you've taken care of them and furthermore strengthened your muscles and bones" He replies. "Wouldn't be any good for a boxer to not be able to use their arms" He jokes easily and Zack lets out an amused huff.

"Yeah," He agrees easily.

"How long have you been boxing for? Seems like you're quite passionate about it" Daniel makes small talk and Zack shrugs.

"For as long as I could remember I've been boxing, I did it because I enjoyed it and thought I was good at it, trained my ass off until the end of middle school" Zack recounts.

"You quit?" Daniel asks, curious as to why someone who seemed to really love boxing would ever consider quitting.

"Only for a short while, I started up again around mid-way through my first year of high school after I got over my insecurities" Zack answers easily as he fixes his shirt once Daniel has finished. "Like I said, I used to think I was super gifted and then the person who I thought was my best friend proved me wrong and I got my ass beat and humiliated. I kind of realised that I wasn't the best and that I could never beat those with natural talent, not even with all the hard work I could muster, so I fell into a slump"

Frowning at the words, Daniel couldn't help but protest.

"That's not right, people with natural talent are impressive but those who put 100% into hard work are even more amazing. Furthermore, how are you supposed to become the best if you don't lose and fail a couple of times? It's all about learning from your losses that make you stronger" Daniel reasons and Zack snorts.

"I know that now, Vasco kinda knocked me off my ass and beat that into me one time when he got tired of my attitude and bullshit" Rubbing his neck in embarrassment, Zack admits something. "When I quit boxing I became a bit of a bully, I'm not very proud of that but Mira managed to change me when she also got tired of me. Gave me an ultimatum, either change myself or she wouldn't associate herself with me anymore" His cheeks were slightly flushed and Daniel couldn't help but smile.

"I'm glad she's been a good influence on you, the world knows that we don't need any more bullies" Daniel nods before patting his shoulder. "Alright, your examination is finished, when's your fight going to take place?"

"This Friday" Zack answers easily.

"Well then, I wish you all the best of luck" Daniel nods as he takes off the gloves and throws them in the bin.

"Hey Doc, can I ask you something?" Zack asks as he stands up and shoves his hands into the pocket of his pants, eyeing the floor.

"Yes?" Daniel swivels back in his chair to observe the other.

"Have you ever lost before?" The question was vague and honestly quite confusing.

"Zack, you need to be slightly more specific. I lose all the time, especially nowadays when I'm in the gym with a certain someone but if you mean have I lost to the point of giving up…well there were instances when I thought giving up would be better than continuing" Daniel hums.

"What did you do to overcome that?" Zack asks earnestly and Daniel lets out a huff before smiling.

"I didn't do anything really, I just told myself to get over it and keep going because everything was only going to get better if I made it better myself" It was the sad, honest truth. "Either that or someone beats sense into me too"

.

.

.

The rest of the week before the match days went by. Daniel didn't have any more scandalous time with Gun and the Doctor was left to do his work in relative peace. At this point, Daniel wasn't so worried on Fridays anymore and a routine had started up. The volunteers knew what they needed to do and Daniel could delegate roles to people he knew he could trust which was mainly Jay and Mira.

Although today Mira was acting rather strangely.

"She's been praying for a little while now" Daniel muses to Jay who nods as the two watch the brunette who has her hands clasped together and her eyes shut. "I get that she's worried for Zack but he's a big boy, surely she doesn't need to be too concerned about his wellbeing"

"You're never too prepared" Mira calls out, opening her eyes to give the two men a disapproving look. "Do you boys have a problem with this?" She questions and immediately Jay and Daniel shake their heads.

"No ma'am", turning away, they continue with their work.

Daniel had a look at the fight list for the night and although the list was long, none were quite as interesting as the previous week. The only fight that he was particularly looking forward to watching was Zack's match. The night dragged on, the crowd seemed to be having fun with the violence but even they seemed to understand that most of the big and exciting fighters were done for the day.

Nearing the end of the night, the worst that Daniel had to treat was a sprained wrist.

"He's next" Daniel hisses to Mira as he sends the guy with the sprained wrist away with an ice pack and some bandages. The brunette tenses before slowly turning back to the arena, apprehension clear on her face as her eyes lock in onto Zack's frame.

"He'll be fine, Mira," Daniel offers the volunteer. "Let's have some faith in the guy" He adds, feeling slightly bad for the boxer with how much doubt was on the female's face.

"I know" She hums in return, her hands clasped together tightly. "I also have faith that even if he does get injured a reliable doctor like you is around to help him" For a minor second she smiled at Daniel but the minute Goo got up to announce the next fight her worry was back in place.

"And for our next contestants! We have quite an interesting fight. We have Woojin from Gian High, quite a formidable street fighter and boxer and on the opposite side, here for his debut fight is Zack Lee a third-year from Jae Won High who after some intense research, we've found out that he's also a boxer!" Goo calls.

"A boxing match, how interesting" James muses lightly. "Hopefully the both of you remember that this isn't an 'in the ring with its safety rules in place' kind of match" He adds, the words seemingly more directed at Zack than Woojin who was snickering.

The two fighters were exchanging a couple of words and with each sentence, Zack's jaw seemed to clench even further.

As the bell rings for the start of the match, both fighters take their stance. Woojin in a much cockier manner whereas Zack was tense.

Both males circle each other before it is eventually Woojin who lunges forward first. A left hook followed by a right jab, Zack was quick enough to dodge it, not even seemingly phased by the moves. Just as Woojin goes in for another straight, Zack weaves to the side, bending his knees slightly before launching his fist directly into Woojin's abdomen. Lifting him off the floor with a direct hit, the other boxer's breath was knocked out of him.

"WOW A DIRECT BODY SHOT FROM ZACK!" Goo shouts into the mic. The excitement from the crowd at the prospect of a new formidable fighter.

"He's an outboxer?" Daniel asks Mira who shrugs.

"I've never seen him use that move before," Mira mutters.

Woojin stumbles away, gasping for air as he glares at Zack who waits patiently. Had it been anyone else they would have hit Woojin again in that moment before he caught his breath but weirdly enough Zack had enough honour to wait. In a fit of rage, Woojin lunges at Zack again and this time their fight seems to intensify but not in the way Daniel thought it would.

Zack was strong. Stronger and more efficient than Daniel thought he would be. The years of practising boxing were evident in his form and power.

"He's toying with his opponent" Daniel huffs in amusement.

Woojin was struggling to land any of his hits. If Daniel didn't know the fact that the male was a scammer who got himself into this mess in the first place then he would have felt sorry but honestly, he didn't. Time seemed to flow by and people in the crowd didn't seem to be disappointed in the fact that Zack seemed to be wrecking the other guy, although the guys from Gian High School were glaring and roaring in outrage at the state of the fight.

Eventually, Woojin was a limp mess on the floor with Zack standing above him, only slightly out of breath and sweaty but otherwise, unharmed.

The crowd cheers, and the Founders make a couple of final statements before Daniel and his group go out to collect the fighters. Mira checked over Zack, fussing over him in the way she did with Johan whereas Daniel assessed Woojin with Jay.

"He's out cold, bruised ribs, bruises and cuts but otherwise everything is stable" Daniel murmurs to Jay who nods after checking his heart rate. "He needs rest in the infirmary but otherwise he'll be fine" the doctor adds before they wheel him out of the room.

"Jay, take a volunteer and watch him in the room. I'll stay here since we've got two more fights to go before the end of the night. After it's finished I'll come to monitor and check up on him" Daniel orders and the blonde lets out a hum before nodding at another person to follow him. Once gone, Daniel heads towards Zack who was grinning at Mira as she was ranting to him.

Despite her reprimanding him, he seemed relaxed.

"How does it feel to win?" Daniel asks, interrupting the one-sided conversation.

"Honestly, great. I almost forgot how it felt since I don't fight competitively anymore" Zack answers with a bright smile. "No wonder why so many people sign up," He adds.

"Isn't this supposed to be a one-time thing?" Daniel inquires, raising a brow at the boxer who turns sheepish, his gaze flickering back and forth between the Doctor and his not-girlfriend.

Mira crossed her arms but let out a sigh.

"Zack?" she asks and the male in question just chuckles.

"I didn't say that I would compete again, just that it felt nice to…be involved" He answers carefully as Mira rolls her eyes.

"I'm not going to tell you not to fight" She ultimately states, causing both Daniel and Zack to turn to her with wide eyes.

"You won't hate me if I choose to do another match?" Zack asks curiously.

"Will you turn into an asshole again?" She retorts and Zack shakes his head venomously.

"Scouts honour that I won't" Zack places a palm to his heart before smiling.

"Then no, I won't hate you" Mira pats his shoulder before walking away, a small smile on her lips as she leaves.

Zack could only stare in slight disbelief before turning to catch sight of Daniel wiggling his eyebrows at him.

"Are you sure you two aren't dating yet?" Daniel asks teasingly, moving to nudge Zack's shoulder and poke him in the sides.

"We aren't! Shut up!" He hisses in return but there is no bite in his tone. There was a moment of silence between them and it was at that point that the Doctor thought that maybe it was time for him to take his leave.

"I should go back to watching the remaining matches, make sure nobody gets injured too badly and such" He reasons and the boxer nods in agreement but before he can leave he speaks up again.

"Want to go out for lunch tomorrow?" Zack asks which stumps Daniel.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" Daniel replies, eyebrows shooting upwards as he stares at the boxer in disbelief.

"What? No!" Zack quickly jumps in to deny it. "I meant go out for a victory lunch since I won my first match today, It won't be just us two, you could invite Jay as well or something" His face burned slightly and Daniel couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing the reaction he was receiving, Zack let out an unamused groan before shaking his head.

"You know what, never mind" He turns and storms off in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry! I'll go but you've gotta tell me when and where!" Daniel calls after the male who pauses before storming ba

ck to Daniel, reaching into his coat pocket to pull out his phone, shove it up to his face to unlock the device with face ID before furiously typing on it and tossing it back to the astounded Doctor who witnessed the entire ordeal without saying anything before he was strutting away again.

Staring down at the opened screen, Daniel notices that Zack had taken it upon himself to enter his phone number as well as shoot a message that detailed the time and location.

Shaking his head in disbelief, Daniel turns back to watch the remaining matches.

.

.

.

Daniel knew that inevitably he was going to get close with some of the people he worked with at the CC, whether that was other members of the medical team, the higher-ups or the fighters. He'd already gone out to dinner with Big Deal and the Burnt Knuckle crews but that was more of a 'thank you for helping us out' kind of dinner. But this? This was more like hanging out of work as friends.

Something that Daniel had never done before.

He had of course invited Jay along after Zack had given him permission to do so but he didn't really have a clue who else would be coming along. He had a feeling that Mira would of course be present but he had no idea about anyone else.

Entering the small, family-owned restaurant, he catches sight of the group sitting at the corner table, already looking like they were having a good time with one another. Zack was at the centre of attention with Mira sat on one side of him and then Vasco and Jace on his other. The three guys that Daniel had met during his first time at the CC were also there followed by Zoe who sat by Mira. Jay wasn't present yet but Daniel knew the blonde would show up eventually.

"Doc! Over here!" Zack catches sight of him, throwing a hand up in a wave before Daniel returns it with one of his own, smiling casually as he approaches the large group.

Observing the group casually before grasping Zack's hand in greeting.

"Isn't this a bit of a crowd for a first date between us?" Daniel asks teasingly which makes Zack go red as he clenches down on Daniel's hand.

"Dude! I thought you were over that joke!" Zack shouts as Daniel laughs.

"Hey, hey, hey, ease up on the money makers" Daniel jokes as Zack lets go of his hands. "Wouldn't be good if a doctor broke his hands" He adds before moving to sit down on one of the remaining seats which was beside Zoe who watched him gleefully.

"How have you been Doc, we haven't spoken to you in a while" Jace calls with an easy-going grin.

"Busy with work and whatnot, neither of you has competed in the CC for a while so that must be why we haven't seen each other as often" Daniel adds. "What's going on with Burnt Knuckles? Are you guys in a slump or something?" He questions.

Turning to Daniel, Vasco's face held a serious look on his face before he opened his mouth to answer.

"It's exam season"

The entire table of students seems to cringe at that one sentence.

"Ooooh" Daniel nods yet despite understanding their situation he couldn't stop the chuckle from escaping his lips. "Sorry, It's just that I remember having to take my GED and pass my university courses so I get how much of a struggle it was but it's still funny seeing people suffer through it" He explains when they send him a confused look.

"Not all of us can be a prodigal genius" Mira huffs, crossing her arms. "In fact, some of us are idiots who decide to sign up to fight clubs in the middle of exam seasons when they could have spent that time studying when they're ranked last in all of their classes" She shoots a look straight at Zack who squawks in indignation.

"I'm not ranked last in all of them! I'm pretty high up in P.E." He replies before shooting a finger straight at Vasco. "Besides, Vasco took the time off fighting to focus on studying and yet he's still failing!" He adds.

"Hey! I'm trying my best!" Vasco shouts back in return as he reaches over to start wrestling Zack.

Daniel couldn't help but laugh alongside the others at the antiques of Zack and Vasco. Yet as things start getting a little more heated, It's Jace who steps in to stop the two.

"Alright you two, we're here to celebrate, not fight. So let's stop before we get kicked out" He tells the two off as Mira agrees.

Pulling away from Vasco, Zack lights up.

"Right! My victory!" He cheers.

"You were really amazing, dude!" Doo calls with a grin.

"Super cool!" Kay agrees.

"That Woojin guy didn't stand a chance against you!" Han adds.

"God you guys sound like a bunch of parrots" Zoe remarks. "And stop complimenting him, Zack's head will grow bigger than it already is!" She calls out.

"Are you saying you weren't proud or impressed with my victory?" Zack raises a brow at the female who rolls her eyes.

"I mean sure, Jae Won High represent and all that sort of stuff but if you had lost to such a weak guy It would have been more embarrassing" Zoe retorts.

"After the fight, Woojin and you have settled your sides right?" Daniel perks up to ask as he finishes ordering his own food from the kind lady who approached him whilst the others were talking. "He won't come after you for revenge will he?" He adds.

"CC rules and Seoul street rules dictate that once you face off in the CC you're not allowed to be butt hurt with the results" Jace states.

"But they're not really legit laws and such right? Don't some people go after others after a fight's result anyways?" Daniel asks and Vasco nods.

"Some do but they're the ones without honour. As much as I hate abiding by the rules that those founders created, it really does test if people fight with honour or fight for the sake of their own pride. If you can't beat someone in a ring with barely any rules and regulations then to do it outside through other conditions means you were weak from the start" Vasco answers wisely.

Daniel had a feeling that despite the gang leader not being quite that bright in terms of school, was quite wise in terms of gangs and street fighting. No wonder he was a charismatic leader.

"Furthermore there are consequences, if you fight outside of the ring then you can get blacklisted by the CC and you risk receiving punishment from the founders themselves. They take their rules seriously and you don't want to mess with them outside of the ring. At least in the CC they'll hold back somewhat, outside of it is where shit really hits the fan" Jace adds with a nod.

Daniel had seen Gun fight before but nothing that was ever extraordinary or godlike to make him think that the other man was a deadly weapon. He was quick and super strong, that much he could tell but otherwise Daniel could only conclude that he had never seen the man at full strength before.

"Well alright, let's move on from this topic so we can continue with the celebrations" Daniel calls before pulling out his card. "Todays on me" He grins at them all as they gape at him.

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Doo cheers as the others join in.

They began to order more food and drinks for themselves, talking good-naturedly with one another and the atmosphere was light. The only issue that Daniel seemed to notice as the celebrations continued was the fact that Zack was continuously peering at his phone screen every so often.

Jay made it to the party around 10 minutes later, apologising for his tardiness and saying that there was a lot of traffic on the way. The others didn't mind, most recognised him as both their former classmate and as the new male nurse that worked alongside Daniel at the CC. Daniel was happy to see the others, including the silent blonde in their talks, catching up with him and occasionally asking for his input to which he would respond as best as he could.

Everything was going great. Well, as great as it could have been until of course something ruined it all. It started with the sound of bike engines, growing from faint to loud as they parked outside the restaurant. Even over the sound of talking and laughter, Daniel could pick up on the sound and he wasn't the only one.

Jay noticed it too and so did Jace. Soon enough the door to the restaurant opened and several dozen guys in matching uniforms entered. The staff members and owner looked worried and it seemed to increase when the guys caught sight of Zack and approached him. At this point, even Zack couldn't ignore what was going on and was tense.

"Mira, take Zoe and stay behind us" Zack hisses as the brunette nods and takes Zoe's hand. Vasco and Zack were in front of the two, glaring down at the guys that came to stand in front of them.

"Zack Lee?" The main guy asks. He looked like a thug, from his leering expression to the stance of his body.

"That would be me," Zack answers calmly. "Let me guess, you guys are friends of Woojin? Gian High members?" He asks, gesturing at the entire group who were glaring at the boxer with heated gazes.

"Yeah, we are," The acting ringleader replies. "We heard that you were having lunch here to celebrate your win over Woojin. Aren't you all cute? Acting like this after one single win" He sneers into Zack's face, spits landing on him much to the boxer's distaste.

"Look man, we're not doing anything to hurt anyone. We're just having lunch with friends" Zack attempts to appease.

"You're insulting Woojin with this, if you insult one of us it means you're insulting all of us. That means there's a problem between us" He shoves a finger into Zack's chest.

"Let's not start this here, you don't want to do this" Vasco steps in, shoving the hand away from Zack as he glares at the guy.

"This has nothing to do with the Burn Knuckles so stay out of it, the only one that has to pay is him" The guy retorts, snarling at Vasco who bares his own teeth at the aggression.

"CC rules, you're not allowed to go after someone just because of the results of the fights. Everyone knows this so back off" Jace scoffs, being a voice of reason and drawing attention to the facts. "If the founders find out you initiated a fight on their turf without their permission they'll skin your asses and boycott you from everything in the future and I'm not just talking about the CC, I'm talking about future careers here" He adds.

At those words, the Gian guys turned their expressions from anger to apprehension. The thought of the founders going after them was far scarier than the anger for Zack.

"Those fuckers don't control us, we don't fear them" The ringleader bites back despite there being fear coiled in his eyes. His fists were clenching and unclenching as he spoke. "As long as we beat you all to the point where you can't speak, they won't ever know"

"They'll know" Daniel stands up from his spot on the side. Heads turned to him before eyes were widening at the sight of the Doctor. "I've got each of the founders on speed dial, they'll know about it before the first fist is even thrown" He explains as he shows Gun's contact details on his phone screen.

"Doc stay out of it, we appreciate how you helped Woojin after the fight but we sure as hell won't appreciate you being a snitch. After all, snitches get stitches" The ringleader responds with the cliche saying and Daniel couldn't help but snort.

"It's a good thing I know how to stitch people up" He replies easily before crossing his arms. "But really, don't do this. There's more to lose than gain from this" Daniel reasons.

The fight was draining out of the Gian student's faces and due to this the frustration on the leader's face was clearer than ever.

"If you had honour as a fighter you wouldn't insult us like this" He sneers in Zack's direction but the boxer merely raises his hands.

"Let's not forget who started this, if Woojin hadn't scammed me in the first place I would have never gotten involved" Zack replies evenly, eyes narrowed as he watches the man in front of him.

Grinding his teeth the leader spins back around much to his group's utter surprise.

"Hyung!? Are we just going to leave without getting revenge for Woojin?" Someone cries out and the leader grunts.

Others who had been hesitant were quick to follow but the ones who had been furious, the ones who were protesting, remained firm.

"Follow your leader, he's got the right idea to step away from this" Zack states to the ones who were the most reluctant to leave.

One by one they stalk away. Well, that was until one of the more angry ones gave a war cry.

"Oh screw this bullshit!" He shouts as he lunges at Zack, fist pulled back before swinging it right at Zack's face. The hit nails Zack right in the nose, blood pours out and Mira lets out a shrill cry at the sight.

"Damn it" Jace hisses.

Daniel rushes to steady Zack, Vasco is on his other side and immediately grabs the lackey by the collar and throws him across the store. The Gian guys who had walked away all turned around, eyes wide before letting out unamused grunts.

"Well shit, now we've got to finish this" The leader huffs before he comes marching right back.

Immediately Daniel was alerted to what was going to happen. Vasco, Jace, Zack, Jay and he were going to have to fight. Even Zack's three friends looked ready to pounce.

"Zoe, Mira, call the police!" Daniel calls as he weaves away from the fists that are flying at his face.

They were severely outnumbered by the guys but that fact didn't dissuade Vasco and Zack from fighting. Daniel had seen it when Vasco fought during the first round of the tournament but the guy was seriously skilled at taking down opponents that came in groups. Each punch and kick seemed to take down two to three guys rather than just one singular person. Jace had his back, keeping in check his leader's blindspots whilst Vasco was occupied. Zack, who was disregarding his bleeding nose, was raging and facing the leader himself, everyone else seemed to give them a wide berth to not catch any stray hits. Daniel himself had Jay by his side, the blonde also looked like he was helping Daniel when he was too distracted by certain fighters.

"You know, ever since your fight with Nomen I've always wanted a go at you, Doc" Someone laughs and Daniel frowns.

"Show us how tough you are!" Another cries out.

Daniel feels someone grab him by the collar of his jacket, glaring at the hand he kicks the person straight in the chest which sends them to the floor but he doesn't have time to rest before he sends a right hook at another guy who is running up to him.

As time went on, it was clear to see who was winning. Despite the number difference, the Gian Guys were a lot weaker but then again Daniel should have known that they were after witnessing Woojin fight in the ring. A while into their fight there was a sound of a siren off in the distance and it didn't take much for everyone to understand who it was.

"POLICE! SCATTER!" Someone shouts before bolting out the door. It might have been Doo followed by Kay and Han.

Most of the lackeys turn their tails to run but the ones that were knocked out or locked in combat had a harder time getting away.

Vasco currently had two guys in headlocks under both his arms, Jace was standing on some poor soul who was crying in pain, Jay was holding some guy by their hair as they knelt on the floor and Zack was currently on top of the leader and holding him down. As for Daniel he skirted out of the way and headed back to the bystanders that were standing at the back of the store. Some were watching the group fearfully although one ajumma looked tired as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"We're really sorry for this mess," Daniel tells the woman who must have been the owner. "Please take this number and call it, we'll pay for any damage that was caused. Also, I'll pay for the bill now before we're all arrested. It was really delicious by the way, anything that is still left over I'll have to take away if that's alright" He pulls out his card.

The woman nods before grabbing the EFTPOS machine and a couple of plastic containers.

"As much trouble as you boys are, you should eat" She lectures. This must have been a daily occurrence for her if she didn't seem all that angry or overwhelmed by what was happening.

Once done, Daniel steps over the bodies on the floor and heads towards Mira who was facepalming over the situation and Zoe who was comforting her.

"You ladies alright?" Daniel asks, checking over them critically.

"Just peachy" Mira responds before pulling out her phone. "Let's just hope that this whole thing doesn't take too long, we still have work tonight" She mumbles in annoyance.

"Figures something like this was going to happen, nothing is ever quiet with those guys" Zoe hisses.

"To be fair, I don't think it's Zack's fault this time," Daniel hums as the door slams open.

"Police! Put your hands up!" The police storm in.

.

.

.

The talk down at the police station sucked. Especially since everyone was talking over one another and arguing without a care in the world. The officers looked especially over the entire situation but through the talking, they were able to decipher what was going on.

"Alright, that's enough out of the lot of you!" An authoritative voice takes control of the situation and soon everyone is silent as an intimidating figure cuts through the room.

"Officer Kwak!" People pipe up in surprise.

Silver eyes drag across the room, eyeing the officers and then moving towards the group of delinquents and Daniel. The frown on the man's face seems to deepen with each individual before eventually, he points to Daniel.

"You, come with me. The rest of you sit tight or else I'll throw the entire lot of you into the holding cells where you can stay until the weekend's over" He directs and everyone shuts up. Standing from his seat, Daniel gingerly follows the older man before eventually they reach an interrogation room.

The room looked just like any interrogation room that Daniel had seen on TV, one side was a mirror whilst the rest were plain walls, an empty table in the middle of the room as well as two seats. Officer Kwak gestures for Daniel to sit down before doing so himself.

"Alright, let's keep this short and simple, shall we? There seems to be a lot of people to question and I'd rather there not be too much trouble" The Officer states and Daniel nods.

"Understandable" Daniel hums as he stares at the man in front of him.

The Officer was a good-looking man, probably in his mid-twenties with dark hair that was swept to the side, sharp and high cheekbones as well as a firm build. The broad shoulders that stretched out the police uniform and were held tightly upright made Daniel want to reach over and massage them until they were relaxed but of course there was no way in hell he could do that.

The one feature that had Daniel truly squirming in his seat was the intense midwinter eyes that were as cold as ice, the way they tracked Daniel's every movement and reaction made the Doctor nervous even though he shouldn't be. They had a completely different feel to Gun's usual dark stormy gaze that was always on the tip of bursting into anger.

"Let's start with your name and age" Officer Kwak asks and Daniel responds easily enough.

"Daniel Park, 18 years old"

"Education and family?"

"Graduated from Seoul National University College of Medicine" That answer gets Kwak's stoic face to morph into one of surprise. "I skipped a couple of grades" He states before continuing. "As for family, I live with my mum and my uncle"

The officer nods as he takes these notes down.

"For a kid that's skipped more than a couple grades and is smart enough to graduate from one of the top medical schools in Korea, the fact that you were involved with a street fight makes it seem like you're not as mature as you think you may be. What led you to make the stupid choice of getting involved in a gang fight?" The officer asks and Daniel sighs.

"Long story short, my 'friend' Zack Lee got into a disagreement with one of the guys from Gian High School after he scammed him of money. The two actually already settled their fight at Crew Corporation yesterday but of course, not everyone agreed with the results. Those Gian guys came and picked a fight with us whilst we were having lunch" Daniel recounts before shaking his head and crossing his arms. "Zack and Vasco tried hard to stop them from doing it, and told them about how much trouble they would be in with the founders but one guy decided to toss that out the window and fight anyway. It's the truth officer, you can ask the nice ajumma from the store or anyone who witnessed the fight, they'll tell you the same thing I just did about the whole ordeal" He states evenly, staring straight into the older man's eyes.

After a couple of seconds of staring, the elder nods before sighing.

"You know, I have a lot of appreciation for the CC and the people who run the business. As much as I dislike their concept, the fact that the rate of violent crimes in our city has dropped significantly ever since the operation started at least means they're doing some good. What I can't stand is how much people seem to fear the founders more than the police, how they're willing to follow their rules rather than the actual laws that keep our community safe" The man lets out an unamused huff. "It's a little insulting" He adds and Daniel nods in understanding.

"I guess it's a bit of a necessary sacrifice," Daniel shrugs.

"A sacrifice, one where our own President sacrificed the authority of his own police officers and passed it onto three random delinquents who play god when they prance around their arena, hah don't you think it's ridiculous?" The man asks and Daniel again just shrugs.

"Sir, I'm just a Doctor. I don't really understand the political debates of it all but if it means keeping our streets safer isn't it ideal? Besides, if the founders wanted to abuse the power they have don't you think they would have already done so?" Daniel inquires in return and the man nods.

"You aren't wrong about that or perhaps they already have but the public doesn't know it yet" With that the man leans back in his chair. "You should be careful Mr Miracle Doctor, you don't want to be caught in the crossfire when shit goes down. Stick to being a good Doctor rather than one that gets involved with fights, alright?" The man reasons and Daniel gapes slightly.

"You knew who I was," Daniel breathes.

"Of course I did, the police are always monitoring the fights done at the CC through the streams. By the way, I was quite impressed with how well you can take down people in a fight but also save them with just as much vigour" The man states as he pulls out a packet of cigarettes, lighting up one stick, taking a deep drag and blowing the smoke right into Daniel's face.

Frowning in annoyance at the second-hand smoke Daniel couldn't help but think of something to do in return.

"You seem to know a lot about me Mr Inspector, do I at least get your full name in return?" Daniel asks, standing from his seat and sitting on the table before leaning forward and into the man's space. The inspector takes a moment to think about the question before answering.

"Jichang Kwak, senior inspector Jichang Kwak" He smiles and Daniel can't help the fluttering feeling that occurs in his stomach.

"You're awfully young looking to be a senior inspector" Reaching across the table he takes the cigarette. "But that aside, I think I can decide for myself how I want to live so don't worry your handsome head about me. I can take care of myself" He states with a purr, giving the man a smile of his own before wrapping his lips around the cigarette only to choke at the smoke and taste.

Through his coughing, Jichang gives a soft chuckle before taking the cigarette back.

"How can anyone smoke? Not only is it bad for your health but it also feels horrible" Daniel remarks with a frown as Jichang smiles before taking another drag.

"I know but it's become a habit for me. Doctor Park I wouldn't recommend for you to pick up such a habit, it'll ruin a sweet thing like you" He muses before standing up from his seat.

"Are we done here? Are you going to interview someone else? Do I at least get one of those phone calls before you lock me up or something?" Daniel questions but Jichang merely shakes his head.

"No need, the phone call has already been made and the situation has been settled. In fact, I'd say your saviour is arriving right about now" He gestures for Daniel to follow him and once they return back to the main area there is a redhead figure standing silently above the group.

Everyone, including the officers, looked pale and were avoiding eye contact with the disgruntled figure.

"James?" Daniel hums out softly and the founder turns around to catch sight of the Doctor. His eyes widen in shock before the elder marches over to him, hands grasping his shoulder and face as he glances over the male's body.

"Doctor Park? Are you alright? When Inspector Kwak called me regarding a street fight involving the CC fighters I didn't think you would be involved. Did you get hurt at all?" He asks with concerned eyes and Daniel nods.

"I'm fine, what are you doing here?" Daniel replies in return.

"He's here to sort out his mess," Jichang snorted as he stood behind Daniel. "I'm sure my officers have already shown you the CCTV footage from the restaurant as well as given you the testimonies from the eyewitnesses of the fight" He informs and James nods, eyes lingering on the inspector before turning back to scowl at the group.

Daniel thought he might have heard someone whimper in fear at the look.

"Will you be taking any legal action, Inspector?" James asks as the silver-eyed man shakes his head.

"Despite scaring people and being a public disturbance no one has decided to press charges although we got a tip from the store owner that all damage will be paid by the CC" James nods at that fact. "We won't be charging anyone with this offence seeing as it is just a bunch of brats being a bunch of brats, you'll all be let off with a warning from the police" Jichang finishes and there were some sighs of relief.

"Thank you for your courtesy Inspector Kwak," James states before crossing his arms. "Although unfortunately, they won't be receiving the same from me" With that the redhead was turning to address the group.

"When you signed on to be involved with the CC you signed legally binding agreements not to be involved in fights outside of the arena as well as cause any misdemeanours that would warrant the police's involvement. Because you have violated this I am hereby ruling that Gian High School and all its fighters will no longer be able to associate or fight in the CC. You will be stripped of your rank and titles and furthermore, you are banned from entering CC grounds" James tells them in a tone of finality.

"What?! You can't be serious!" The leader of the group shouts and James' scowl grows even harsher.

"I am as serious as a heart attack, you knew the rules and still ended up disobeying them and therefore you will receive harsh punishments. Let us be glad that it is me who is overseeing this and not Gun or Goo" His voice dripped with venom as he spoke and the people shivered at the mention of the other two founders.

"How come we're the only ones getting punished and not them?" Someone else points out and James sighs.

"Because from what I was told and what I saw it was Gian High that instigated the fights, Jae Won High made numerous attempts to prevent it and yet you all still fought them. They acted in self-defence" James answers easily before noting that there was no look of protest. "Go home, go think about your actions. Unfortunately, there is no second chance after this so don't bother coming by the CC and begging for one, now if you'll excuse me I am a very busy person and have a lot to do before tonight's fights" With that, James struts out of the room, leaving behind a confused and depressed group of people.

"Well he's as pretentious as ever" Inspector Kwak snorts before clapping his hands. "You heard the man, all of you get out of my station" He ushered and that was when people started moving.

As Daniel made the move to follow after his group a thought entered his mind. Snapping his head around, the Doctor frowns at Jichang who is still watching him.

"Wait, if you already had the CCTV footage, and eyewitnesses and had already called for James, why did you need to interrogate me?" Daniel asks, confused by the absurd situation that the officer had put him in.

"Perhaps I just wanted the opportunity to speak with you" Jichang answers, shrugging with his words before waving goodbye. "I'll see you around Doctor Park" With one last mysterious smile the man turns away, Daniel is pulled away by Zack who was urging him to leave but the Doctor had only one thing on his mind.

Inspector Kwak pulled him aside because he wanted to talk to Daniel. Nothing more and nothing less. Actually no, that smile made it seem like a whole lot more.
