Black Card Debt: Daddy's Little Thief (Omegaverse bl)

Seoha’s POV

Someone else, a calm looking woman attends to us this time.

The tall and pretty woman speaks with Taesan with a polite smile, and she doesn’t run off like her friend.

Maybe this dinner date will end without someone being threatened.

My palms are starting to sweat where I have them pressed against my thighs under the table, I’m so nervous.

I sneak a glance at the people in the room and immediately regret it.

They all look so pretty and are shining under the light. They look like this is their natural habitat, but I don’t look as blended in as them.

I look like a kid playing dress up.

"Are you okay?" my mate asks and I nod, moving my head up and down repeatedly while smiling at him.

Taesan places his hands on the table, but instead of his arrogant appearance, he’s playing with his fingers, and the gesture confuses me.

"Are you okay?" I ask him in return and his shoulders fall. His frown looks like he’s trying to figure out something puzzling.

"I don’t know how to date" he says and I laugh before I can stop myself. Taesan sighs and leans forward.

"What do we do now? Do we stare at each other?" he asks with a serious face while trying to fight his own smile and I laugh again.

"I don’t know too" I respond, grinning at him so hard that I can barely see him, he’s makes me so happy.

"Let’s talk about how we met" I say and his smile drops, "that’s not a pleasant conversation" he says.

"That’s true...but it’s our story" I kick my leg under the table and accidentally end up hitting him.

"Oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t know the table was this small" I say as I look under the table.

I pause with my back bent before I lift my head and look at him with a questioning expression on my face.

"What?" he asks as if his legs are not stretched out at an absurd distance.

"Your legs are on my side" I point out and he shrugs. "I hate not being close to you" he states and my cheeks grow warm.

"You...we’re in public" I shake my head, pushing his leg away with my feet.

"The table is small, and I’m big" he says as if it’s the most logical thing in the world. Maybe it is, I don’t want to argue, I like his logic.

I still want to talk about how we met.

"I ran from Daeshin that night, I knew he was using me all along, but that night...I chose to leave" I start and Taesan blinks twice.

"And then you ran into me?"

"No. I went home to the closest house I inherited. The mom used to stay at before her death" I pause for a second.

"But I met a stranger there, she was listening to Cheer Up by Twice while my life wasn’t cheerful..."

"Uh?" he interrupts me.

"I met a stranger..." I try to explain the part I think he didn’t understand.

"What’s a...Twice?"

"A girl group....ah, I keep forgetting you’re older" I mutter and he raises a brow at me, making me change what I was going to say.

I was going to tease him for being older.

"Then, it started to rain, I went to hide in a store, but the owner sent me away. You know, people avoid unmarked and uncollared omegas" I say, smiling at the memory.

That day, I wasn’t smiling, I was mourning my life.

"What’s the name of the store?" Taesan asks with a glint in his eyes. "I don’t know" I whisper, I don’t know and I don’t want to remember.

"Then you met me?" he asks and I smile.

"Not yet, I went to the hotel, I was going to pretend to be someone important...but I was so hungry" I say.

"And then you met me?" Taesan says impatiently and I hum, "yes, you were magnetic" I blush as I say those words.

"That night I saw young man with white dirty hoodie holding my wallet. Your eyes were so innocent. I was agitated that night, and I should have shot you on the spot, but you slipped from me" Taesan says and I smile softly.

I should have been dead the moment he caught me.

His hand was around my wrist while I got lost staring at his face and breathing his scent in...he should have killed me, but he didn’t.

"Why didn’t you kill me?"

"If fate didn’t intervene, I would have" he says bluntly and I flinch; I keep forgetting who he is. "I would have...but then you brought my little girl back to me"

"It was the right thing to do"

"It’s what only Shin Seoha would do. A real thief would do anything to escape, but you stopped for a kid"

"I couldn’t walk away from the baby" I whisper, it wasn’t doing a favor, it was doing the right thing.

"I’m glad you stayed for her, I’m sorry I hurt you, treasure" he bows his head and I shake my head.

"It’s okay, I’ve forgiven you" I grin at him.

The woman returns with two other waiters, and I watch with confusion as they lay out the things they brought.

One by one, they arrange everything and I stare in awe, not sure what is really happening.

Six forks and...is that a tong?

For the first time, I pay attention to our table, the candles, flowers, and the wine glasses on the table, one red and one white.

Aren’t these too much?

They uncover the dishes and I blink at what is on the plate...is that snail? Why are they serving shells as meal?

They give us warm smiles before leaving and I peer at Taesan, but he’s focused on the plates.

"Taesan" I whisper his name and his head snaps up, one brow raising in response to me.

"What is this?" I ask subtly pointing at the dish, I know people might not understand my question, but it still feels embarrassing to ask.

"Escargot" he says and I shrink into myself.

"I don’t know how to..." I say, and he chuckles, "you don’t have to if you don’t want to"

"I want to try it" I mutter, watching the utensils he is holding and copying him.

"Like this?" I ask.

"Like that, eat quickly baby...it’s raining" he says.

"We have to reenact how we met" he adds and my heart skips a beat.

Re...reenact?
