MARKED BY A DRAGON

Chapter 1 Rui Kwon was with his friends, the Black, who seemed to be enjoying the nightclub’s music while all the party-goers were dancing wild on the floor. "Rui-ah, Come on! Work that body!" Nale shouted amidst loud music. RJ sat on the couch with a girl on his lap. He smirked and continued his drinking spree. He called out for the Black to accompany him after he fought with Kwon Head, his father. The latter wanted him to take charge of the Kwon Group of companies which he hated the most. 'That damn company!' Rui hissed inside his mind. He drank another bottle of wine. "Hey!" Tre appeared beside him trying to snatch the bottle. "You're drunk, man." RJ looked up at Hyung. "Nah. Just tipsy," he nonchalantly waved his hand to him. "You have to go home, man." Tre insisted. But to his horror, the dragon glared at him. "Tell me Tre, are you my dad's ally now?" Rui dangerously asked. "N-No. O-Of course not!" Tre exclaimed, trying to hide his fright from this man. RuiJi just nodded. "Good Tre. You must be loyal to your master. Arrasso?" " Ah yes..." Tre replied in defeat and threw his attention to Nale and Dex. Both were unaware of the doom he had almost encountered a minute ago. He heaved a deep sigh. Looks like he'll be alone in taking charge of a bunch of brats. Or not at all? *** A couple of hours passed, and the Black couldn’t even move a muscle. Too bad alcohol defeated them. Even the composed Tre rested his ass on the couch. Nale and Dex found their places on the floor. In that VIP room, there was a picture of an epic failure to watch after the dragon. Ruiji on the other hand, managed to stand up in a wiggling frame, but he only snickered. He smirked with amazement as his eyes darted to his ever-faithful guards, the Black. For once, he wanted to get away from these people and be alone. He continued walking to the door and opened it. Rui's Pov I was awakened by the music outside the VIP room, though it was a faint sound, but hey, I got a very sensitive hearing. I found my men, the Black, knocked out by drunkenness. Even Tre was defeated by alcohol. I smirked at the recollection of what happened a moment ago. (Flashback) "Hey Tre, drink this," I ordered Tre while handing him 2 bottles of Vodka. "Oh no. No! No way, man!" He tried to escape but Nale and Dex got him and pinned him down on the couch. I then thrust a glass full of alcohol at him. But Tre tried to close his mouth firmly. Feeling displeased, I clasped the glass tightly so that it almost broke my bare hands while glaring at him. The mortified Tre abruptly snatched the glass from my hands and drank it straight up. One glass, followed by another. Two bottles followed by another, then a couple more bottles... then... Game over! Tre had been defeated! (End of Flashback) I stood up feeling dizzy, but I still managed to walk through the door. I turned around " I'mm… Goinm mmenn, addddiosss!" I heard myself saying those words. 'Crap. I sounded like a total drunkard, but I walked through the door and left the VIP room. Loud music kept bugging my ears, which seemed like those annoying bees as I got out of the room. I could still see a lot of party-goers enjoying the night. But the sound... the loud music! Argh! So annoying! I called one of the men in a corner, obviously watching me as part of their duty. I ordered him, and then the music stopped. Lights were still busily wandering around the club. I snapped my fingers and it all went steady. Everybody went silent and stared at me. Nobody made a sound as I slowly sauntered my way out of the club. Were they afraid? Maybe. I don’t give a damn. As I was outside the club, I smirked when there was still no music that was heard. A man approached me, bowing his head as if he was unworthy of my presence. " Here is your key, Master." I took it and lazily shooed him away after. As I was about to open my car, one of my men stopped me. I frowned at him, which sent him back. "I could drive you home, Master." The man managed to speak amidst his obvious fear of me. "Why? Do you think I’m dumb?! Huh?!" I approached him and grabbed his collar. “I know my way home!” "N-No, master... I-I was just thinking of your safety." He bowed his head. Instead, I leveled my gaze at him, patted him on the head, and got in the car. "Listen, hmm?” “Yes, master.” he bowed even more before me. “I can manage to drive my fcking ass from here. Don’t drag your butt too much on my face, will you?" I then stepped on the accelerator after getting inside the car. I could see from my side mirrors that all of those hired men ran in their respective cars. "Try to catch me losers," I muttered. *** More like a movie. The streets almost vanished with several cars’ sudden appearances. The tires gave loud squeaks as Ruiji Kwon maneuvered his car at the most unimaginable speed. The bodyguards were sure enough that they passed over a 100km/hour rate. Were they after a drunk man? The young dragon was undeniably driving his car fast as if they were chasing him like a fugitive. They couldn’t even outrun him. The guards saw ahead that Rui’s car turned right. Then it turned to the left. Then back to the highway again. ‘Seriously, when will he stop? He’s disturbing the whole streets of Seoul!’ The bodyguards exclaimed inside their heads. ‘More likely to say, we are now disturbing the wholeness of Seoul!’ Their eyes widened when Rui’s car made a loud tire screech followed by its collision with the huge dump truck. The bodyguards were horrified as they witnessed how the dump truck was dragging the dragon’s car nonstop. Both the master's car and the dump truck overturned on the highway, followed by the deafening noise of metals. All the cars of the bodyguards halted. No one reacted for a moment. How they wished that it was just a dream—a nightmare. Maybe all those chasing things and the accident were just a figment of their imaginations. But hell no! This wasn’t a dream! The six bodyguards were running like hell toward Rui’s wrecked car, quite hysteric if the master could survive that. But one thing they badly prayed to whoever was listening, the young heir shouldn’t be dead or they would be. As they pulled the door of the wrecked car forcefully, they all gasped at the view. Rui Kwon’s face was full of blood and his body streamed red fluids from the wounds in his arms. The bodyguards shivered as they quickly grabbed the unconscious dragon and dashed him to the hospital without even waiting to call 911.
