Black Diamond Mansion

*places a fruit salad tree down*
For the pretty leader
*adds a note*

Ahhh and for my baby
*leaves a bunch of flowers and grins*

@[B.D.] Kim Ahyoung Boa couldn't even argue with her. She was finally feeling the fatigue from the day and what the woman said was true. She did always say that, but she had to. If she didn't, she'd stop believing it herself and then where would they be? She was tough though. If the girl only knew the kinds of things she'd lived through before they'd met, she might not worry so much. The leader would never tell her though. They were too horrific and she didn't even want to remember them. Smiling at the woman, she patted her hand. "I will be. So don't worry so much about me. I've got somebody watching my back too." She was thinking about Hongki. Wherever he was, she hoped he was safe. And he did watch her back. All she had to do was say the word. Of course if it were the Dragons, she'd tell him send someone else, because if he did anything, it would get back to Suho and then he'd be in danger.

How could Ahyoung be so cute and sweet and yet niave in this life. She'd seen the amount of money they had. The leader just shook her head and chuckled as she drank some more tea. "I can. I brought you into this and I'm trying to keep you safe. Even though there's not much difference in our ages, you're like the daughter I will never have. I want to keep you away from danger. Besides, you can continue doing what you're good at. As for being expensive...well, come here. I want to show you something." If the young woman had ever gone to the headquarters and seen Boa's office, she wouldn't worry about money. All of the priceless artifacts from Korea's history would be enough to tell her how much money they had to blow. Getting up, she waited for the girl and then went up to her room. She opened the door to her vault that took up nearly an entire wall and smiled. It was full of jewels as well as some cash. "See. We have more than enough money to send you to school. And the family needs you too." She took the woman by the shoulders and looked into her eyes. "Ahyoung you don't owe me anything. In fact, I owe you. I mean I brought you into this horrible lifestyle and put you in danger and you always take care of medical problems, so let me send you to school. Hm?" She didn't want to push the girl, but she'd watched her when she was younger. She'd liked playing doctor and she was good at it. Boa knew her mom had been a nurse and that had a lot to do with it. What Ahyoung didn't know was that her mother had saved Boa's life more than once and she owed her everything. She wasn't sure if she should tell her though.

@[B.D. Leader] Boa "You say that always." Ahyoung eyed her with a pout but she knew that Boa was already trying her best to protect each and everyone in their gang. Ahyoung had learnt it the bad, the good and the hard way that there was no definite promise of not letting anything bad happen to anyone over the past seven years of being in the gang, during these years, she had seen countless of injuries and death, so much so she that counting them with both of her hands was barely possible. "I know you're trying your best. I don't want you to put yourself in danger. Ever." Ahyoung said the last part out firmly, despite Boa being the leader, she was sure she had the commanding tone, almost insistent when it came to her leader's safety.

"hm?" She hummed softly, taking another sip out of her teacup, eyes widening slightly at the offer. " You can't. " she sighed and place the cup on the table. " You've done so much for me, unnie. I don't think I can ever repay you. You've brought me up since I was young and useless, I can't fight or bring any income into the family or anything for the matter of fact. I'm only good at patching people up. plus.. College is expensive, Medical school is even more expensive." She said, shaking her head as she fiddle with the rim of the teacup, evident disappointment on her face. Of course who didn't like to go to school and college? It had been a dream for Ahyoung to be a doctor/nurse since young, following her mother's footstep but it was dashed since the incident and she had stop schooling altogether but now that was given a chance, she had to reject it once more, she had owed Boa too much to accept this.

@[B.D.] Kim Ahyoung Sensing the young woman's hesitation to let her go, she smiled. She enjoyed cuddling and taking care of Ahyoung. She had since she'd first brought the girl to live with them. She'd even specially decorated the girl's room in a style that would make her feel more comfortable. Not only that, but she still did things for her when the girl wasn't paying attention. She figured Ahyoung was the closest thing she'd ever have to a daughter or a child at all. Having kids in this life wasn't smart or safe. It was enough to have her godchildren. After all, they were constantly in danger, because of her. Thankfully, most of the gang liked the kids and watched out for them.

She smiled and ruffled the girls hair. "Don't worry too much. I will be fine and I won't let anything happen to anyone else in our family. Okay?" She understood how the girl felt though, because she constantly worried about everyone as well. That was another reason she didn't like the girl to be out in the line of fire. She knew Ahyoung wasn't necessarily comfortable using weapons or hurting anyone, let alone killing them. As she sat down, she took a sip of her tea before discussing what she wanted to talk about. "Well, you are clearly good at taking care of people. You're not squeamish. You have a great bedside manner and you're still so young." She took a deep breath and smiled. "What do you think about going to college and then medical school. I would take care of all of your expenses. Plus, you'd be getting paid once you get your degree, just for doing what you've been doing for our family?" She sat quietly, letting the woman think about her proposal. She wouldn't force her to do anything though. She nodded and smiled. "You're welcome." While she listened, she nodded. It was what she had figured. Had her dad not forced her to become the leader of the Diamonds, she could have been a doctor herself. She loved fashion, but in an attempt to appease her dad, she'd said she would become a doctor. He was the leader at that time, but he had always groomed her to take over. Now she had and it was the most difficult thing she'd ever done.

@[B.D. Leader] Boa There was some sort of comfort Ahyoung found in Boa. There were so many things in common between both of them, their families, their background the way they cared for their loved ones, how the family (the gang) was priority and the on going list of things she has yet to list out. Ahyoung could see herself in Boa, maybe not the leader-like way but more of towards the motherly way. "Still.." Ahyoung whined softly, reluctant to let Boa go. "Something could have happened to you. I can't imagine." She continued softly, burying her face against the crook of the other's neck before letting her go after a short pause. "Hmm?" Ahyoung hummed as she followed her leader into the kitchen.

The younger girl took a seat opposite where Boa was supposedly going too sit. As she stared her little figure (obviously tinier than Ahyoung) from behind, she started to wonder the amount of burden(?), workload and worries on her shoulders and how it was possible for someone as small and as young as her to handle it, it probably was easy to begin with and definitely wasn't easy to climb up the ladder to being a leader. If Ahyoung was worried about a handful of people in their gang, she would imagine the amount of worries Boa had to handle which made her sigh, somehow. How good if she wasn't this useless, if only she more cut-out to be gang material but well, at least there was trusty Jongin to help her out. "Thank you." Ahyoung said softly, taking the cup from her leader then sipping on it slowly. " He'll be fine, the wound is a little deep, burst a blood vein so he lost a lot of blood but I've managed to stop it, or most of it and patched him out. No major activities for about a week or two, aside from that he'll do just fine. Don't worry." Ahyoung replied, offering her a comforting smile. "You said you wanted to talk to me?"

@[B.D.] Kim Ahyoung Boa saw the look in the girls eyes and heard the worry in her voice. She hated making her worry and instead of answering right away, she wrapped her in her arms and kissed her hair. "Just the Dragons again." She sighed. Suho was really getting on her last nerve now. She knew he had sent those goons, even if they wouldn't admit it. She wasn't stupid and Minseok would never do that to her. He loved her, just as she loved him. With a sigh, she stepped back. "Come in the kitchen with me. There's something I need to discuss with you." She smiled gently and walked off.

Once in the kitchen, she made a pot of tea to warm herself up and to calm herself. These new gangs were becoming a thorn in herside very quickly. Honestly, if she didn't have a family to take care of and she thought the smaller gangs would take care of the community the way she did, she'd let them take over. Sadly, that wasn't possible. Those idiots were already destroying her city and they'd tried to hurt Mila and Youngie already. It made her sick to even think about it. She wanted to end them all, but without the Dragons and the Eagles working with her, she wouldn't be able to. She'd have to talk to Min and Suho as soon as possible. The three of them had to show these wannabes that they couldn't take down the three largest gangs in Korea's history. She poured two cups of tea and sat at the table, handing one to Ahyoung. "Will he be okay?" She glanced worriedly towards the living room. It scared her to think she could lose anymore of her family. She'd already lost her mom, her dad, and her brothers hated her, because she'd been tasked with staying in Korea and running the gang. It wasn't by choice. If it had been, she'd be working as a fashion designer in Paris. That was one reason why she was so willing to let her "kids" be happy even if it meant leaving or being with someone in another gang. After all, she secretly was herself.

@[B.D. Leader] Boa Ahyoung didn't come from a very well to do family but neither were they struggling. Fortunately for her family, her mother had worked as a nurse in one of the local hospital and Ahyoung being the youngest in the family, her mother would bring her along, that's where she picked up some of her nursing skills from, her dad had picked up odd jobs here and there but they were able to make ends meet. Ahyoung remembers the entire incident on the day her parents got innocently beaten up and shot dead in front of her own eyes during a gang clash, she also remembers her mother taking the bullet in her place and when she had eventually left with the leader of her currently gang who then brought her up even though she tried clinging onto her mother's dead form. Initially, she had been very very shy and that she kept everything to herself, hardly talked but Boa being very patient with her finally became first friend, unnie, leader, mother, everything actually. The leader wouldn't force her to do anything she didn't want to, took care of her every needs and treated her like a piece of fragile item, like if someone dropped her, she would break even until today. If there was anyone Ahyoung was thankful for, Boa was definitely the one.

A sigh of relieve left Ahyoung's pink lips once she finished the finally stitch. She carefully snipped off the end before placing everything down into the metal tray then covering up her fellow member with the blanket before moving off to the toilet to wash up the mess. "What happened." She asked with a hint of worry when she heard Boa's footsteps moving closer towards her from behind. A little frown was on her face as she turned around to face her leader, it wasn't that Ahyoung was upset or anything of that sort but more like she had been worried about their safety, what if anything happened. Boa was someone especially dear to her and she definitely didn't want anything to happen to her.

@[B.D.] Kim Ahyoung Boa smiled as the girl came downstairs and began to take charge. It wasn't the first time she'd seen Ahyoung like this. Every time someone was hurt, she was the one that patched them up, especially if Boa wasn't around. She remembered when Ahyoung had come to join their family. She'd been very careful with her. It's not that she didn't trust the woman, but she feared for her safety. The girl was still so young and full of potential and Boa didn't like the thought of it being wasted. Looking the girl over, she felt more like a mom or big sister than a leader. Like she'd told Daehyun, she didn't like the idea of recruiting kids to the gang. Instead, she liked to look after them. In Ahyoung's case, the girl wasn't squeamish, she was good at keeping others calm, patching them up and her bedside manner was one that could rival professionals. She thought it was something their gang could always use.

She decided that the girl had things well in hand and went up to her bedroom to change. The battle had been a brutal one, but she'd been unhurt. As she changed, she thought about what she could do to help this girl and the family as well as to keep her out of trouble and harm. Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea, but she'd need Ahyoung to agree of course. She didn't know what the woman had planned to do with her life, but she really seemed to enjoy helping and taking care of their family. Maybe she'd be willing to go to school and perfect her skills. Boa had no qualms about shelling out the cash for her schooling. After all, it would benefit them all and she had enough money to do that and maybe the woman could even earn some money this way. It would be good for her. She was always in the house and going to university would give her a chance to meet new people as well as to get out of the house more often. She just had to talk to the girl about it first. Going into her closet, she grabbed some capris and then a black wife beater and put them on. Throwing the bloody clothes in the hamper, she went back downstairs.

@[B.D. Leader] Boa It had been an fairly unproductive day for Ahyoung, most of her members had been out for their rounds leaving her alone in the mansion. It was more than alright though, Ahyoung usually enjoyed quiet days like that, rather than following her members out for their rounds -- being a hassle more then a help, she preferred staying at home, doing daily chores, helping someone out or perhaps just lazing around. Despite being in the gang since the age of thirteen, What Ahyoung didn't fancy much was the frequent occurrence of one ( or more than one) of her 'family members' returning home 'broken' or sometimes even dealing with death. Being one of the weakest in the group, Ahyoung was hardly place on site job duties, however she was one of the best so-called medic of the group, especially after having patched up more than too many people.

Hearing some sort of panic ruffling downstairs, Ahyoung's ear perked up as she got up from the couch then making her way down, not forgetting to take the baseball bat from the corner of the bookshelf.. just incase. "Who is there?" She shouted as she turned the corner, only spotting her leader and one of her fellow member both soaked in a bloody mess, she couldn't really tell who was the one seriously injured at first glance but seeing that Boa was still on her two feet trying to save the other member, she supposed it was just her fellow member's blood. Dropping the bat on the floor, she rushed to her leader's side, helping her out with the patching of the wound. "It's okay. It's okay." She said softly as she picked out the necessary stuff from the first aid kit. "Unnie, you should go up. Wash up, I'll patch her up, there doesn't seem to be a fatal injury here, she's also probably out of danger thanks to you but I'll take it from here." Ahyoung continued though she was more focus of the pale body infront of her.
