Not proofread, we die like men.

“What do you want to do? What are your end goals?“ Seungmin narrowed his eyes towards the man before him. 

“Surely you feel the same?” the blonde smiled.

“Whatever it is you’re trying to sweet talk me into, you can not fool me,” Seungmin seethed through clenched teeth.

The man before him was leaning on the desk in the center of the dark room, the only light was the swinging bulb between the two males. His leg was heavily casted and splinted as the blonde balanced his crutches against the table’s edge. Seungmin’s eyes narrowed at the top ranking student.

“It would be beneficial for the two of us to cooperate. You want to leave these walls and destroy them. I have seen what happens behind closed doors behind the squeaky clean facade the government puts up,” the blond gestured Seungmin’s gaze to his side tapping his fingers over the smooth surface of his laptop. “These walls need to come down. Our interests align.”

Seungmin’s eyes traveled to the side staring intently at the ground as he loses himself deep in thought.

“On one condition-” Seungmin started but interrupted himself with an audible gulp.

“Anything,” the blond’s voice was soft as he smiled genuinely in understanding and compassion.

“Why me?” Seungmin questioned whispering in a hushed voice.

“You’re absolutely fully capable,” the blond smiled. “Have you already forgotten who was the one who disabled all the cameras and looped the security footage? I’ve seen what you are capable o-”

“I refuse,” Seungmin snapped, effectively shutting up the blond. His mouth closed in mild shock in the sudden outburst.

“Not without my friend. I’m not leaving them alone in this bitch of a world. Without them, you won’t have me,” Seungmin finalized.

“Seungmin,” Chan called out walking into the room opening the door softly. 

The demolitionist had a leg propped up on a crate as he strapped a knife to the side of his calf. He looked up to the gaze of his leader. Seungmin had stern eyes as he looked him up and down. 

“Here,” Chan smiled softly delicately placing a metal tin on the crate before him. “It’s gas. Maybe you can use it. Gasoline is a rarity these day-”

“What do you want?” Seungmin got straight to the point.

Chan sighed. “I want you to reconsider. Maybe you can bring Fel-”

“No,” Seungmin snapped.

“I just don’t think they’re rea-”

“Don’t you dare finish that sentence, Bang,” Seungmin pointed his finger at the elder as if he was instigating a fight. 

“Just be careful, ok?” Chan sighed softly, turning to leave. Chan glanced back at Seungmin’s glaring face. “Fail the mission if you must, just get back safe.”

The door closed softly behind him.

~

In a typical Seungmin manner, Seungmin made a rather loud entrance by kicking open the warehouse door.

You jumped in surprise from the loud echoing sound. “Minnie, what the fuck?” you say scoldingly. “You scared me.”

You were settled on one of the couches in the center of the warehouse. The empty building acted as a lounge area of sorts for the members. At the center of the room was a large square fluffy rug that is pitch black in color. On that rug were several couches and bean bag chairs as well as a singular glass rectangular table.

In the corner of the large warehouse which was quite a bit away is their basic kitchen setup. On the upper levels of the warehouse are large balconies and walkways that lined the upper perimeter. The main ladder leading up to it was in complete disrepair due to age and frequent use. Seungmin was to fix it, but whenever the topic was brought up Seungmin would shrug and merely reply with a simple “climb.” Despite this, he himself can not access the upper walkways in this manner nor the other members with the exception of a select few. [A/N: Can you guess who? Lol].

“You should've been ready and alert, dummy,” Seungmin smirked.

“Yeah, yeah,” you mumbled. “Didn’t know I had to be alert waiting for you.”

“Yes, dummy. You would never know if I was a traitor and can back stab you at any given moment of time,” Seungmin chuckled, jabbing his index and middle finger firmly into your side. 

You let out a loud “AHH” in response to his sudden action and jumped away.

“You ready, dummy? Before I jab you again?” 

“Yeah, yeah, Shitmin.”

Seungmin jolted forward to jab you again as you shrieked jumping away from his attack.

~

“You do know what to do, right?” Seungmin’s voice buzzed through your in-ear comms.

“Yeah, yeah. Locate and eliminate the target, destroy any evidence of Stray Kid’s involvement” you confirmed responding to the small device fashioned and implemented by Bang Chan.

Your mission locale was a small rural town in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing but dry desert like lands and steep cliff sides in your immediate surroundings. The large cliff sides hid many dangers of their own. Who knows which one of the surrounding shrubbery was an enemy in a ghillie suit? 

Stealth was of the essence and you can not afford to fuck it up. Not only did you have to stay hidden from those you can see, but those you can not as well.

Within your hand, you wielded a standard 9mm handgun equipped with a hand made suppressor. Seungmin absolutely DESPISED how it looked with its old worn out yellowing rag held together with mere zipties and tape, but not even he can deny the effectiveness of it compared to a standard suppressor. You wouldn’t have it any other way when Seungmin offered to make you a just as efficient one with a much better visual, but you admired the fruits of your own labor despite how fucking ugly it looked. (Not that you would admit it out loud.)

“The man you’re looking for is hidden somewhere in this locale according to I.N during his recon mission. Be careful because the man has a protective detail, so don’t get spotted,” Seungmin informed.

You lay prone in one of the dry shrubbery as you tightened your suppressor on the threaded end of your barrel. Along the pathway you’re scouting one man currently patrolling up and down. You briefly checked your mags to ensure you had tranquilizers equipped. You were still uneasy about taking another life, but no one in Stray Kids were pressuring you in anyway and you were thankful for that. You lined up the headshot as you aimed down your sights and pulled the trigger. The man ragdolled as he went out like a light. You quickly ran to the man and lifted in unconscious body onto your shoulders. 

Using the night as your veil, you entered the small locale. The buildings were rather archaic. They were various shades of the dull colors of tan and gray with the building made majorly of hardened and tempered clay as well as a few concrete blocks. You settled behind a dumpster as your earpiece buzzed back to life.

“That dumpster. You can use that to dump your body or hide in it yourself,” Seungmin paused as the earpiece buzzed softly with static. “Just don’t come anywhere near me afterwards.”

You quickly disposed of the body by tossing it into the metal component and letting the lid drop down. You gave little to no regard to the amount of noise you’re making.

“What was that?” a voice in the background perked up.

“Wow [by 3RACHA], you get a D for effort, because you gave none,” Seungmin added.

You scoffed as you dolphin dive sliding under a table as a man came up to investigate.

“Careful,” Seungmin reminded. “We still don’t know the whereabouts of our guy, don’t cause more trouble, or attract unwanted attention” 

“Are you telling me how to be stealthy, Shitmin?” you chuckled into your mic.

“Hey, if I had the ability to be Han fucking Jisung, then I wouldn’t be the one setting up all the explosives, hmm?” Seungmin chided sarcastically before buzzing off.

The man that came to investigate leaned over the dumpster with his weapon up and ready. He lifted the lid to see the contents as you rushed over kneeing him straight center on his back. Your forward momentum sent him head first into the lid, colliding with the wall, immediately knocking the man unconscious as he fell forward atop of the man you hid earlier as the lid fell shut.

“Geez, can you make any more noise?” Seungmin buzzed in.

You scoffed. “And what are you doing? Where are you?”

“Portable toilet. 6 o’clock.”

You turned 180 degrees and lo and behold, a singular porta-potty. You shook your head lightly as you rested a hand on your hip. 

“Pay attention! Don’t gawk at me,” Seungmin scolded. “Look for our guy. Find a building with a more loaded defense. I’ll set up the explosives once you’re in.”

~

It didn’t take that long to find the point of interest. It was one of the signal towers scattered throughout the locale. There were men at every entrance, ledge and balcony all over the old worn out buildings as well as patrols around and on the rooftops.

“Think you can handle them, Minnie?” 

“Of course not,” Seungmin scoffed. “Loosen their ranks for me, yeah?”

After making quiet and brief rounds around the building traveling from shadow to shadow, you pinpointed a weak spot with lesser guards and within a blind spot from all the patrols. It was a simple back wall hidden inconspicuously behind a short brick fence. The three men more or less gave away the location of the door. Without them, you might’ve, emphasis on might, missed the door.

“Are these mafias or amateurs?” you chuckled to yourself.

“Don’t lower your guard just because you think these guys are idiots,” Seungmin scolded.

You headshotted the man in the middle, the man immediately fell slumped. The men on either side quickly reacted out of shock and reflex towards their fallen ally. In their moment of shock, you and Seungmin rushed forward, one for each of you. You both slung an arm around the men’s neck using it as leverage to swing around their bodies and tactically suffocated them into unconsciousness (Seungmin straight up killed the man by snapping his neck) as you gently hid him behind the protruding wall to hide the bodies from patrols.

Seungmin immediately went to work rigging his C4 to the base of the building as you quietly entered from the back door. Soon after you headed inside you spotted a man by the window smoking a cigarette. You smirked at the man who’s obviously slacking on the job. You quickly disposed of him as you donned his clothes over your own. Your current attire acted as a filler for the man’s larger outfit as you hid the body into one of the cupboards in the corner of the room.

Seungmin quickly ducked into the room deploying another explosive as you headed up the stairs quickly taking care of every unsuspecting guard. Seungmin followed moments after quickly hiding every body you left behind.

“Keep going, dummy. I’m right behind you,” Seungmin whispered. “Just remember what Felix and Woojin hyung taught you.”

As you head closer and closer to the top, you can hear the frustrated bellows of your target more and more clearly. 

“Cursed Bang Christopher Chan. He thinks he’s so good creating his own mafia,” the man stated. The floor above you shook slightly as dirt and dust displaced from the bricks due to the man’s frustrated pacing stomps. “Stray Kids aren’t even that good. They’re just kids who got lucky.”

You stopped before a ladder leading up to a wooden trap door above you. You assumed you reached the top due to the clarity of the man’s voice.

“The C4s are set,” Seungmin informed through the in-ear piece. “I’ve already headed out, I’ll see you at the rendezvous.”

You climbed up the wooden ladder. The old wood creaked and moaned under your weight.

“Bang Chan is playing a dangerous game. It’s time to show those kids that this business isn’t a game they want to be playing.”

You reached the top as you ever so slightly pushed open the trap door just enough to have a peek through. You see two sets of feet, one of your target and one of his goons.

“What do you intend to do, boss?”

“Going to send Bang Chan and Stray Kids a message,” the man gazed at you at the trapdoor unbeknownst to you due to your limited line of sight.

Your earpiece buzzed back to life. “GET OUT OF THERE!” Seungmin’s voice boomed with urgency. Over his exclamation you can make out his rapid footsteps and labored breathing as well as the loud crunching of dirt and gravel beneath his feet.

“We’re going to show Bang Chan what it means to play with fire. You play with fire, you’re going to get burned.”

The man grabbed his goon and tossed him over the trap door. The weight of his body slammed into the wood door against your head causing you to slip off the ladder falling to the floor below with a loud thud and groan.

“GET OUT!” Seungmin panicked. “I’VE LOST ALL CONTROL OVER THE C4. SOMEONE’S OVERRID-”

“Say goodbye to your precious member, Christopher,” the man seethed as he jumped off the tower landing on one of the rooftops below. He pulled the trigger on the ignition device he had in his hand.

One by one you heard explosions go off as you feel the building shake and crumble around you as each and every one of Seungmin’s C4 went off.

You felt no pain as the dark building lit up as you became engulfed in flames.

Somewhere in the distance, the demolitionist’s knees buckled at the sight of the building collapsing and burst into flames leaving nothing behind other than rubble, ashes and smoke.

Seungmin collapsed to his knees as he screamed in horror.

~

Seungmin barges into Hyunjin’s room, the door slamming against the wall loudly. The impact can be heard echoing down the hallway as the walls shook lightly. Hyunjin jumped in response. His mechanical wings expanded as he went into a fight or flight stance with a stern look on his face. His face didn’t lighten up at the sight of Seungmin, his posture, however, did straighten up.

“Get out, Hwang,” Seungmin snapped. Hyunjin didn’t respond. His mechanical wings flared a bit in response due to his nerves acting up towards Seungmin’s harsh tone.

But Hyunjin had a responsibility as the group’s medic. You had just been extracted from the hospital in the middle of nowhere and you were still fully bandaged and injured. Seungmin stomped forward towards Hyunjin as the medic quickly went into a defensive stance.

“Move”, Seungmin’s voice is dripping with venom.

Hyunjin let out a small tsk as he flashed two fingers indicating that Seungmin only had two minutes. Hyunjin side stepped Seungmin performing a series of hops to gain traction for his short glide towards the door closing the door silently behind him. Once the door closed, Seungmin felt his strong walls shattering and come tumbling down. Seungmin’s stern expression fell into one of weep and despair. Seungmin gasped out whimpering softly as tears well up in his eyes. As he trudged over to your unconscious body, he felt his knees buckling. Within a few feet of your cot, Seungmin collapsed to his knees, his hand grasping yours gently as he sobbed into your bandaged arm.

“I’m so sorry. I’m so so sorry,” Seungmin sobbed. “It’s all my fault.”

Seungmin sat upright a bit as he delicately rested his hand on your head taking extra precaution as if you were made of delicate glass.

“I should’ve listened to Chan hyung. I shouldn’t have brought you. It’s all my fault,” Seungmin sniffled.

“Dummy?” Seungmin whispered. “Dummy, can you hear me?”

The sound of the door knob wiggling and the slight creaking from the door opening slowly prompted Seungmin to shoot up to a standing position and to very quickly wiping away his tears with his sleeve as he faced the figure in the doorway.

“Time’s up, Seungmin,” Hyunjin stated.

“Whatever,” Seungmin’s voice cracked slightly as he put up a strong front. He walked passed Hyunjin purposefully bumping shoulders with the medic. Hyunjin looked onto Seungmin’s back profile with an unreadable expression as Seungmin closes the door behind him.

~

It had been the same, just like that day back then.

The destruction.

The flames.

The looming black smoke.

The smell of death, so much death.

Only this time, Seungmin was a bit more stubborn.

Seungmin had successfully extracted both you and Minho from the rubble that used to be “Paradise.” He had unceremoniously dumped Minho’s unconscious body in the hallway before Hyunjin’s door. 

Seungmin was no medic, but he knew his way around bullet extraction and gauzing up deep injuries. He kept you locked up in his room with your unconscious body wrapped securely in his arms under the sheets of his bed. Seungmin’s sniffles can be heard throughout the empty room. 

“I’m so sorry,” Seungmin sobbed. “I shouldn’t have gotten you involved. We could’ve found another way.”

“It’s all my fault,” Seungmin choked out.

“It’s all my fault,” Seungmin’s voice could not have sounded more broken.

New Voting Opportunities

At this point on, you can now send SKZ members to side ops missions. A brief preview of this works can be seen with the underline quote “according to I.N during his recon mission.” It will be more fully understood later on when the time arises.

Note: The same mission constraints apply to these as well. The point of this is to have the reader to put more thought into who they send on a main mission. The main idea of this is to limit the pool of members so it’s not ALWAYS the best fit being sent on the mission (or this story will be a bajillion chapters long.) HOWEVER, the bearings will NOT be updated with those who are sent on these missions, and the amount of time they will have before they will be available for the next main mission or side op will be randomized between the numbers 1-5.

2nd Note: These side ops missions will have a 100% SUCCESS RATE despite whether or not the member you send is fit for the job.

3rd Note: ONLY the side ops missions will have the “None” option, meaning the missions won’t be taken and the member will remain on standby. The main idea for this is to create “opportunities” during the main story missions and when you choose “none,” you lose these opportunities.

So when opportunity knocks, do you open?

2) Side Ops 1: Gather resources to restock on supply.
