RIIZE Lee Sohee Imagines

south side

7pm

you just finished unpacking boxes into your new home with your mother.

after your so called drunkie of a father left the two of you for a prostitute he picked up from the street, you and your mom had no choice but to move to the south side.

you hated things here, it was dirty, dangerous and it looked dull..

" i'll go get us some food ma, you hungry? " you look at her.

she smiled and nodded from the couch.

" okay 10 minutes. " you put on a jacket and left.

you walked to the chinese restaurant you saw and ordered from the chef.

" 20 bucks kid hurry up. " the chef says.

you placed the money on the table, leaving with the food.

you walked back home, making it into an alley.

" no stop.. it's my coke! "

you watched as a man grope a woman, searching her pockets and stealing a white packet which seemed like drugs.

you stopped walking and backed away.

you saw the man, he was bald with a distinct mustache.

" AGH! " the man yelled as the woman tried to get it back.

he pushed her hard and she hits her head on the wall and passed out.

you covered your mouth to muffled your gasp, you crouched behind the dumpster and hid.. afraid of what would happen if he saw you.

the man snorts the white powder and threw the packet on the floor, disappearing through the alleys.

you hurried to the woman and checked for a pulse, her head was bleeding heavily.

you gasped as the blood dripped onto your arm.

you grabbed your phone and was about to call an ambulance.

an arm grabbed yours making you shake, looking up to see a masked man.

" shh " he gestured.

the man checks her pulse and placed a cloth on the woman's head, applying pressure to the head.

you were scared but assured in a way..

you looked down the alley to see the man getting beaten up by two other men.

" woman beater! " the man swung his bat, shattering the assailant's skull.

" rot in hell. " the other punched hard, bruising his face more.

" you new round here? " the man asks, taking off his mask.

he was a young guy, looked about your age maybe older.. he made you feel safe so you nodded along as he spoke.

" i'm sohee. " he smiles.

you were stunned, not knowing what to say.

" i guess you don't speak korean. " he says and carries the woman into his arms.

" i'm- y/n.. " you stutter.

" see you around then y/n. " he smiles and bowed as he left the alley with the other two men.

~~
a week later,
5pm

you were working in a chinese restaurant, wrapping dumplings with your co worker.

suddenly a loud bang emitted from the front..

you looked at your coworker and quickly went outside to check..
