Chapter 11: Maid Shop- Hak will always defend Yona. Though Soo-Won knows how to handle a sleaze bag
This one is a prompt from Vane553 who asked for another AU which involved Hak, Yona and Soowoon working in a Maid Shop. The prompt was inspired by a picture released by Kusanagi Mizuho herself.
Customers flooded the place! Being one of the most popular Maid Shops in the city ensured there was always something to do. Tables needed clearing and cleaning, orders needed to be taken and the food bell seemed to never go silent.
Short said, they were busier than ever!
In the middle of this organised chaos Hak focused on one thing at the time, for the moment that was to clear the table in front of him of the pile of dirty dishes the last customers had left behind. Though while focusing on the dishes he still kept an eye on the rest of the shop, calculating the next move: which was more urgent, taking the young couple's order at table five or seating the impatient mob of youngsters hanging by the entrée? He never got to finish that thought though as he laid his eyes three teen-aged guys eyeing Yona attending the table next to them, and in particular, her frilled covered rear end. He noticed how they snickered and mumbled between themselves and quietly but quickly walked up to them and grabbed the nearest by his wrist just as the pimple covered brat raised his hand with the obvious and sleazy intent of giving her a slap on her bum.
"Hey, what the?" was heard from the startled brat.
"I would not do that if I were you," Hak growled lowly and hoisted the kid higher up by his wrist, pulling him closer to Hak's face so he half still sat on his chair, half hung in the air helplessly.
His friends rose from their seats, preparing themselves to do something about the rude butler who had their friend locked in tight and the tensions raised in the shop. Eyes turned towards them and soon the sounds of general dinner conversation and the rattle of metal cutlery against the expensive china quieted down to an absolute minimum. A little dinner entertainment was always a welcome break in the monotone lives of the guests.
"Hak! Put the poor guy down," Yona exclaimed aghast. Having not seen the teenagers mumbling and nodding, she could not understand why Hak suddenly picked a fight with their guests.
Hak ignored her and kept growling at the brat while eyeing his friends and narrowed his eyes further. "I don't like sleazy brats," he snarled.
"There there Hak, how about you put the lovely guest down? I am sure he has learnt his lesson by now," Soo-Won's gentle voice rang out as he joined the group and calmly laid a hand on Hak's wrist, pushing it downwards in a friendly but firm sign to drop the grumpy guest before everything went completely out of hand.
Hak gave eventually, with a few discrete nudges from Soo-Won, in.
Thus allowing Soo-Won to address the real issue; he turned to the highly offended and sullen teenager and smiled a warm smile while ensuring him that Hak was very sorry and that this would never happen again. Unless of course the brat had any intentions of furthering his slimy advances on their youngest staff member. Because if that was the case, he would make sure to throw the disgusting sleaze bag out himself. Was this understood? The sandy-blonde young man kindly asked and smiled warmly while baring his glimmering white teeth and letting just the right amount of steel and threat permeate his silk voice.
Needless to say, that particular scum bag never even thought of dishonouring Yona ever again.
