oh god I can't stop giggling,,
so like, Atollidae (the family of Atolla Jellyfish) is called "ヒラタカムリクラゲ科" in Japanese (translating to "Flat Crown Jellyfish" in English- very literal). This is a little weird, since the jellyfish in the family are known as "Purple Crown Jellyfish"
meanwhile, the family Periphyllidae is known simply as "クロカムリクラゲ科," or just "Black Crown Jellyfish"
which is funny considering that the jellyfish in this family are also known as "Black Crown Jellyfish" (I suspect the family is simply named after the common name of the animal, haha)
I'm not sure why I find it so funny tbh 🤔🤔, the fact that they decide to be literal with the family Atollidae while sticking to the common name with the family Periphyllidae is just a little weird to me ig?
When it comes to the common names, the naming conventions are eerily similar ("Purple Crown Jellyfish" and "Black Crown Jellyfish"), so ig the family names not reflecting this is kind of funny

(future au anon) OKAY BE READY BC IT'S VERY ANGSTY me and my friend loves angst wayy too much lol
So uh first of all tw suicide :')
Yeah hum i guess you can guess where it went with that
Basically Tsumugi unalived himself yeah-
Which traumatized Natsume and their daughter, Marisa (i was the one who made her!) pretty hard and now they're suuuper overprotective of eachother in fear anything happens to the others like calling each other VERY often Marisa would even get late to practice sometimes (bc ofc most kids are idols too and with time we decided ES accepted girls and other genders too) and Marisa often sleep at home too instead of the ES dorms and like if Anything remotely bad happens to his daughter Natsume would go MAD
It also affected Marisa personality a lot since she was pretty young when that happened so now she's SUPER parano and anxious about her loved ones wellbeing and like she would cling to her friends a lot and always ask them if they're okay bc she always worries they ever..you know. Do what Tsumugi did
Also Marisa is a big nerd (is that the term) she's super into books, animes/mangas, games and such and also a looot into the magic stuff her dad does teehee she also likes drawing and i like to imagine she's the one designing her unit clothes
ANYWAY but its time i actually explain why Tsumugi did what he did. So uh very basically me and my friend decided Eichi died of his illness to give the Wataei family angst which well ended with ES in a MESS since Eichi is like. An important figure in it yk. And so Tsumugi as he now became President of NewDi OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT got super stressed and pressured with stuff (also grief of Eichi dying) and also with time the idol industry became much more strict and uh. Overworking? Idk how to explain but uh yeah all that was just too much for poor Mugi
It might be ooc idk,,but i decided to not have any mercy to the Eccentrics in this au (i mean do we have mercy on anyone really) and so uh oopsies Natsume i took ur husband away
Damn i ended up rambling a lot sorry i got excited,,i love this au i lot i would love to tell u more if ur ever interested?? :')
Tumblr media
IM ??????? WELL THAT WAS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING THATS FOR SURE
BUT IT IS A REALLY INTERESTING PREMISE........ im not the angstiest guy myself sorry im a big fan of happiness and joy and love but id say this is a very good foundation for the story ur telling from what im hearing !! and given the circumstances of everything i can see these events taking place....... BUT I CANT STOP THINKING ABT THE EMOTIONAL TURMOIL NATSUME WOULD GO THROUGH. like given everything theyve been through, all their promises together, baby tsumugi vowing "lets become happy together, you and me" to natsume-chan when they were kids, now even forming a family together, thinking theyve gotten their happy ending, only for the man he loves to then take his own life due to stress and anguish. im very fixated on the feeling of "i wasnt enough/i didnt do enough" natsume would be suffering through. the amount of regret he'd face. maybe wishing he'd been nicer to tsumugi. had put in more effort. given him a stronger sense of love and security while he had the chance, but now hes gone and the only memory he has left of him is marisa. This au sure is getting the brain juices pumping THATS FOR SURE

warnings: inane rambling, i literally did not proofread this i would take breaks and start again without checking what i wrote last so it’s defs not coherent
I was just ur every day kind of girl. Nothing special to anyone...not ev en myself. All i knew was wake up, brush my hair (and teeth obvi!!)  and go out and go to university and to my part time job as a waitress ina  diner where not a lot of people would go to. Anway today was one of those boring days, i woke up with my alarm blaring at 6:00 am because i have a class at 8:00 am… it’s my least favorite one too. But yeah so i got up super early and made myself apple cinnamon brown sugar oatmeal and black coffee bc i’m also kinda broke bc i ran away from home bc my parents were those snobby rich people and i didn’t wanty end up like that ya know? i put on a really simple outfit bc i was feeling lazy since i woke up late!
Tumblr media
(we need to bring back sillly bandz! they r so much fun!!) 
So i was walking to my early 8 oclock class all the way on the otherside of campus when suddenly ther e was a frisbee flying right at my face! I tried to dodge it but it still hit me right in the nose and i screamed so loud i didnt hear anything else but me screaming in really loud pain. 
“Are u ok??” i grab my nose in pain but it doesnt rlly feel broken or bleeding so i open my eyes that i didnt evern realized that i had close to see rlly gold eyes staring down at me. I scrunch up my eyebrows bc im confused bc he’s wearing overalls and a straw hat? Did i hit my head or something and am now seeing things?
“I’m ok do i know u?” i ask.. despite him looking weird in his farmer outfit he looked familiar so i had to ask.
“Sometimes i go to the diner u work at after im done at the farm bc there are good mochi waffles (a/n omg wait do they serve mochi waffles at dinners? I’ve only had it from  bakery xD)” he says with a really cool tone. I nod my head bc it makes sense. Before i can say thank you to him for asking how i am doing he grab my hand “please marry meand my cofarmer” 
“W-w-w-what??????” i yell my heart is pounding bc even though he is really super pretty i don’t eevn remember him ever being at the diner and like i remember a lot of my customers faces bc a lot of them come back a lot. 
“Marry us we will make u super happy pls it was love at first sight.” he says confidendtly (sp?) as he holds my hand tighter and tighter.
“I-i-i-i-i-i don’t even know ur name???” i whisper softly under my breath, “HOW can i marry u???”
“Shinsuke…..” a deep voice goes off behind me and i pull my hand out of his hand to look behind me, a big big BIG man stands there also wearing overalls and a straw hat and also a single wheat hanging from his kissable lips.
“Wakatoshi i have found the perfect housewife for us,, i have asked her to marry us.”
“But i’m just a normal girl from a normal world, how can i possible be apart of the world the two of you have made in the farm world?” the offer was amazing, the life of a housewife for these two perfect men that i’ve met by chance.
“She doesn’t havea choice the wedding is tonight ur marrying us.” the man who was called wakatoshi says with a very serious voice and facial expression. before i can ask hes suddenly pulling me to my feet and dragging me away.
“i have class!!” i say in protest as he continues to pull me towards a green tractor.
Tumblr media
“you don’t need education…do you know how to sweep and cook eggs? and maybe make butter?” shinsuke asks following behind as wakatoshi pulls me onto the tractor.
“of course i can make eggs! but why butter?”
“we live on a farm darlin’ ya gotta know how to make butter.” shinsuke says and i nod my head. it makes sense.
“i can’t just leave my life behind tho i’ve gotten this far all by myself” i sigh even tho i’m comfortably sitting in wakatoshis lap i can’t let myself fall victim to their charms!!! i’m independent !!!
“give it up already your ours now…..” wakatoshi says seriously. i pout. he can’t just talk to me like that. i’m not a kid! i go to unverisity and have a job!!! 
“it’s too late ur already wearing the engagement ring” i look down at my hand and gasp to see a beautiful ring on my finger.
Tumblr media
“this cant be real?” i shake my head my head.
“we already have your dress and the venue ready.”
“what?” the big grrrn tractor pulls up to a really pretty outdoor wedding venue. my jaw drops to see my entire family, even my parents waiting.
“go in there” wakatoshi points at a tent and i nod. i walk over and am immediately being changed by two guys who look the same?
“don’t worry we r gay.”
“and twins.”
“but not gay for each other bc that’d be illegal or something  and the author would get Cancelled™” it makes sense. i turn and look in the mirror and i gasp. i look beautiful. i may be an average girl but in this moment my velvet chestnut locks are curled to perfect perfection and the makeup isn’t too much or too little. these gay twins sure worked their magic!
i step out of the tent and look down the aisle to see my two farmer husbands looking handsome as ever (here’s what we look like teehee xD i know we look super cute!!) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“y/n, im sorry me and ur moms bitchy richness made u run away but please let me walk u down the aisle on ur wedding day.”
“hello my name is agayshi and i am also gay, and here to officiate your wedding.”
“wait ur gay too?”
“yeah i’m married to that guy over there in the wacky inflatable cars salesman suit but we’re both respectively fucjing one of those gay twins. any way. do you y/n y/m/n y/l/n take shinsuke canonical rice farmer and ushijima farmer au to be your lawfully wedded husbands?”
“i-“ i look between the two men. my dream wedding. my dream men. i look around at all my friends and family. i nod.
“yeah i do.”
“congrats you may kiss the bride” at the same time wakatoshi and shinsuke grab my head and manage to mash all 3 of our mouths together.
i’m just so happy.
….or so i thought.
i woke up, it all turned out to be a dream </3
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
(a/n: hey everyone sorry for the sad ending but like...r there rlly happy endings in real life?? soz i just think we need to get more realistic w our fanfics </3)

How do you think Esme argued with Rosalie, Emmett or Edward? How is she dealing with their shenanigans? Could you imagine first argument between her and Edward?
sorry it’s taken so long for me to get to this ask! thank you for asking, it means a lot that you have asked my opinion! i hope you're having a lovely day/evening/night
so in midnight sun we get a glimpse of how understanding and patient Esme is on the day of the baseball game when Edward notes that Esme had been trying to talk to Rosalie all afternoon about Bella and the Bella/Edward situation and even that they were holding hands when they were talking abt it on the baseball field. Edward also notes earlier that when Rosalie was first turned, Esme had a great deal of patience with Rosalie. Now, let’s be real, no one has an endless amount of patience, not even a vampire and there must have been something that would make her crack. I think that Esme was a willing ear when Rosalie mourned the human life she lost and how much she hates immortality and resents Carlisle for giving it to her. She probably encouraged Rosalie to talk to Carlisle about it to get it all out in the open and move past it as best as she could, but after a few years of still being resentful to Carlisle and calling him all the names under the sun Esme probably snaps. This would probably be because she saw how much Carlisle was hurting from Rosalie’s words and how much that added to his self-loathing. I think she argued with Rosalie and pointed out as sensitively as she could that without Carlisle, Rosalie would be dead and wouldn’t have any kind of life, and isn’t this half-life better than nothing? Would she really prefer death over life with Emmett? And that Carlisle thought he was doing the right thing by saving her! he deserves forgiveness and understanding, just as she deserves patience and compassion. I think Rosalie scoffed and said she never asked to be saved but after Esme put it like that she perhaps did some reflection and came to forgive him somewhat because after all he did give her some kind of life, and he gave her Emmett. 
Clearly Esme and Rosalie are very close but I think Rosalie’s stubbornness is perhaps a point of contention for them. Esme is also kind and compassionate and I think someone like Rosalie would find that annoying sometimes, because sometimes she just wants to rant and rave and be angry without someone trying to fix it, you know? Sometimes she just needs to have a good bitch about something and not have Esme try to fix it or ‘look on the bright side’. 
As Emmett is fairly easy-going and so is Esme, I can’t think of anything specific that they would argue about. Probably just small little tiffs here and there that are to be expected between adults that live in the same household - dirty shoes in the house, being messy/not doing his share of the household chores, getting irritated at her nagging, just common stuff. Given her past, when Edward and Emmett were rough-housing after his transformation I’m not sure she would have the courage to ask them to be more careful right away and maybe Carlisle asked them on her behalf. Later on in their relationship, I’m sure it became more of a reminder than an argument. Maybe she found his cavalier attitude about slip-ups upsetting, as Emmett seems to find slip-ups as an unavoidable part of their nature, whereas I imagine Esme to be deeply affected by each life she takes. Perhaps when he is trying to comfort her after she kills someone he makes an off-hand remark about how these things happen, it’s alright, and she blows up at him because she is so upset and she drills into him how it’s not alright. I’m not sure it would be an argument, though, because Emmett would likely apologise and so would she for misdirecting her anger at him. 
God with Edward it’s so hard to know because SMeyer is criminal in writing Esme’s devotion to her son. We’re supposed to believe that she was happy to leave Bella in New Moon, because of Edward’s remarks in Midnight Sun that Esme didn’t care about anything except his happiness, but I call bull. SMeyer writes her so 2-dimensionally. Esme is such a kind and loving person and over the summer between Twilight and New Moon we can only assume that Bella spent a huge amount of time with the Cullens and that her relationship with them all developed immensely. In my head, this means especially Alice, Emmett, and Esme. Look how devastated she was when they left, and in New Moon it’s explicitly clear that it’s not just because Edward left, but because they all did! Now would Esme be happy about Edward deciding to leave her instead of turn her? Absolutely not. Would she try to put her foot down and convince him to stay? Yes. When he argued back and refused to be swayed by her, would she ultimately follow his wishes? Unfortunately yes. I imagine there was still an argument between the two of them as Esme could easily put herself in Bella’s shoes and imagine what it would do to her. 
Esme joined Carlisle and Edward during Edward’s early years as a vampire and perhaps there were remarks made when Edward accidentally heard her thoughts and she resented that (even though she knew it was not his fault). She likes Tanya a lot and probably tried to get Edward to reciprocate Tanya’s affections or at least give her a chance and Edward firmly answered why he didn’t want Tanya in that way. Similar to her arguments with Rosalie, I think Esme argued with Edward about their nature as vampires. In my head, Esme is in touch with her faith as a Christian, always working to make sure her faith evolves with the world and always working on her relationship with God, scripture, and those she loves. I think she fundamentally disagrees with Edward about their souls and argues that they are not damned, they are not soulless, and they are not evil. She argues that Edward is not evil despite his countless murders nor is he damned for them, at which point Edward replies that he doesn’t regret his murders and he is not sorry, therefore he cannot ask forgiveness and he cannot be absolved, and he is doomed to the fiery pits below. Esme huffs but can’t fault his logic. So I imagine they have theological debates that can stray into passionate arguments. Carlisle is left on the sidelines and once again is stuck between the beliefs of his son, and the beliefs of his wife, still not knowing which argument he agrees with more. 
In terms of their first argument, I think it was about Charles. I’ve explored it in my long fic This New Life (ch 12 if ur interested teehee) where Edward is so enraged by the memories of him that Esme has that he wants to hunt him down. At this point in time Edward has never killed a person and despite the built up rage he had for Charles, Esme didn’t want him to go after him because she couldn’t bear for Edward to kill a person - even a person like that - in her name. I think she argued passionately for him to let Charles live because she couldn’t have lived with the guilt if Edward had killed him. She feared that it would be a mark on Edward’s soul and she would look at Edward and see the sin and see the man she hated. I think this argument was pretty passionate. Once Carlisle knew the extent of what Charles had done I believe he sided reluctantly with Edward for a while and agreed that Charles did not deserve to live, although deep down Carlisle wanted to exact revenge for the horrors committed against the woman he loved. After Esme pointed out (passionately, emotionally) that they were trying to control her and make decisions for her just like Charles had done, Carlisle backed off and allowed his mind to be changed and he joined Esme in asking Edward not to go against her wishes. 
Once he got back from his travels as feminist vigilante legend, a trip during which Charles was his first ever victim, I think Esme was so overwhelmed to have him home that she didn’t even care about Charles. Edward justified himself pretty quickly by saying that he would have gone on this spree anyway and committed all these murders, so he was just one in many, and that was good enough for Esme tbf, and it allowed her to move on finally. 
Sorry, this got really long and rambly but I hope it made sense! Thank you again for asking!

The Rise of the Fallen One & Reylo (excerpt)
Rey is not alone in the Dark!Rey scene.
This was first pointed out to me through this tweet from brehaorganas. Then @sillyrabbit36 did a lovely job of recoloring the footage to show it in greater detail in this post.
I went ahead and made some GIFs for visual aid.
Tumblr media
In this shot (BOW DOWN TO YOUR QUEEN) it looks like there could be movement, or a figure before the screen pans over to Dark!Rey. That could also very well just be the way that the light and shadows move in the view of the camera.  The real evidence is in the following shot. The money shot.
Tumblr media
(My ability to breathe? I don’t know her.)
I zoomed in for a better look, and I tried my best to brighten it without ruining the quality too much (fuzzy image below= proof I’m not a professional lol).
Tumblr media
I’ve labled what I think it is that we are seeing. To me, in the bottom right it looks like dark/black clothing, maybe a cloak, or cape. Or maybe just dark pants. In the top right it looks like either a hand in dark, long sleeves, or a chin in a high turtleneck.  I’m leaning more towards it being a hand.
Now, let’s look at the movement of this mystery figure. It appears that whomever (or whatever) is there is backing away from Rey. And if we go with the hand theory, it looks like they are backing away with their hands up defensively. Below I’ve created an extremeley detailed and intricate artist rendition of what I believe happens here. I warn you, the artistic talent I posess has brought some to tears.
Tumblr media
(As I was writing the final draft of this bit i came across this post by the amazing, ever talented @gwendy85 . The position of Ben and Rey in her art is so close to what I’m picturing! And a million times better than my stick people lol. Just wanted to give some quick promo to her. If you haven’t already, you guys should really check out her art and meta posts, you won’t be disappointed😊💜.)
So, who is this? Well, there are a few options. Let’s play one of my favorite games: The Process of Elimination.
Option 1: Palpatine Just the simple fact that the figure seems to be backing away from her tells me that it isn’t the Sheev man. If Rey does go dark, and this is real, and not a vision, I’m 99.9% sure that Palps will have something to do with it. So why would he be backing away from her? If anything, he’d be the one encouraging her. 
Option 2: Finn (my sweet boy) This is a more logical option, however, John is reported saying that he wasn’t there when Daisy wore her Dark!Rey fit. He said he was supposed to be there, but that was just for a visit, meaning his character was not invoved in the shooting of those scenes (I looked for the link for like 20 minutes and decided I’d rather get this out and edit the post later when I eventually find it.) Plus, the hand (or chin) doesn’t look like it’s been blessed with that melanin (teehee), so I’m thinking it’s pretty safe to assume not Finn. And without Finn being there, I don’t think any other resistance squad memeber would make sense. So I’m striking out Poe, Rose, or Jannah as options.
Option 3: Rey  Let me explain.This would fall in line with the theory that Dark!Rey is a vision that Rey has. (I go into further details about how this could go, and the pontential parallel between it and Lukes vision quest on Dagobah in the full meta.) This could be the moment where she is forced to literally face her inner demons. If this were the case though, the costume choice that makes the most sense, canonically and visually, would be for normal Rey to be in her normal clothes. Her pure white, flowing robes are a stark contrast to the dark figure we see backing away. 
“Maybe that’s just the shadows, it’s a dark room.”
That’s true. But if we go with the turtleneck or long sleeve idea, those are complete opposites to Rey’s v-neck and short sleeves. This makes me think that the mystery person is not Rey.
Option 4: An innocent It could be an innocent that she kills in her dark rage/possesion. Making this a scene to show how far gone she is. I highly HIGHLY doubt this option though.
Taking all of those out leaves me to believe that it can only be one person. One particular dark froce weilding, sad-boi, love-struck prince.
Option 5: Ben The clothes, if i’m picturing them correctly, match up perfectly with Ben’s attire at all times. Dark cloak/cape, maybe a black turtleneck (like we’ve seen in TFA), long dark sleeves. And, if this is Benny boy, what really intrigues me is that he is gloveless. The implications of that alone...
Sorry, I spaced out. I was fangirling.
ANnNywAy, let’s assume it is him. Now the question is:
Vision or Reality?
(I dive deeper into all of these theories in the full meta. I still can’t choose a side!)
While I still haven’t chosen a side (lol) at this point in time, I think I’ve narrowed my choices down to the Dark!Rey is real train or the Ben Vision Train.
If Dark!Rey is real, I feel that this could definitely be the moment where Ben goes to save her from Palpatine, and from herself. There have been several posts describing how this event could unfold.  If Dark!Rey is real, this could serve as a major catalyst for Bendemption. This tweet points out an amazing comparrison to this moment of Vader having a vision of Dark!Padme.
Tumblr media
The most terrifying thing is seeing someone you love fall down the same dark path that you did, and having to watch them be consumed by it.
I think this feeling and reaction would be representitive of both real and vision Ben. If it’s real though, it could lead to a fight. The fight, however, would be completely onesided. He would refuse to strike her, talking to her the whole time, reasuring her of the people in her life that care for her, and that he cares for her. Telling her that she’s not alone anymore. She doesn’t have to do this, He knows this isn’t her. Pleading with her to come back to the light. To herself. To him.  He’d say he knows that there is still good in her, and that he believes in her. He tells her to use their bond to escape Palpatine’s control, or the firm hold of the Dark.
All of this sounding familiar? 
Tumblr media
(I was so happy to see my fellow TFA Reylos were thinking the exact same thing I was with this.I love y’all. We all deserve a stiff drink and a foot rub 😭😂)
Now, if it’s a vision, I feel that the scene will be much shorter. I also believe that, again, if it is just a vision, It will be a reflection of what is already happening inside of Rey. She could actually go dark for awhile after this, just maybe not to the extent that we see in this scene. I don’t think that it is the same vision he saw in TLJ (although I definitely think that he saw something like this), I think this would be a new vision.
Something that caught my eye about the initial cut to Rey was the motion of the camera. 
Tumblr media
The way that it swoops over to focus on her resembles someone whipping their head around in surprise.
You know what that reminds me of?
Tumblr media
Rey even stumbles back after this. 
Tumblr media
If vision is the way, I have a feeling it will be like the one Rey had in Maz’s castle in TFA when she touched the legacy saber. I actually think that this would be such a cool call back, and would be another amazing example of how these two characters mirror eachother. This vision could be brought on when he touches an object as well, or it could be in the form of a dream. Or it could be a vision brought on by Palpatine to tempt Ben. Or to scare him. Or-
Summary, there are so many ways that this can go. We have truly entered my favorite time over these past 4 years, The Hour of Speculation. And it’s the final hour! Everything wraps up after this...
Tumblr media
 As much as that breaks my heart, I am so excited for the next few months. I can’t wait to ride this out with all of you, and to hear what amazing theories you freakin oracles come up with during the wait. Old and new Reylos, I LOVE YOU!
And may the force be with you always.💙❤️💜
And please share your own thoughts, I’d love to hear what you guys think!
@sushigirlali @jedisassafras @southsidestory @sanctuarytrin It’s not my full thoughts (not even close🤦🏽‍♀️😂), or a ficlet, but I promise all of those are coming soon! Hope you like my quick ramble, much love💙☺️

B.A.P Le Noir AU (Himchan): Ch. 14 Warning
I promised ya two chapters so here is number to everyone! Woooo! That was a doozy, but I’m sooo glad I updated because I know you guys have ben waiting so tadah hahah! I’ll be getting back to fullfilling the request in my ask box so hopefully I can get back to this asap teehee but enough of my rambling. Please enjoy! Comments and feedback are appreciated and any questions will gladly be answered!
Tumblr media
Knock! Knock!
Himchan let out a small groan at the the sound of the incessant knocking that boomed through his hung over mind. He shifted in his bed, lifting himself so that he was sitting upright. The bed rustled a bit as the figure beside him pulled the blanket close to her chest. Himchan ran his fingers through his messy bed head and furrowed his eyebrows as he recollected the memories from last night. His attempts of recollection, however, were quickly interrupted by the continued thump on his door. He sneered a bit as the pain from the hangover began to set in. He let out a sigh as he went to his dresser to grab a clean pair of boxer briefs. He tugged at the black jeans that had littered the floor up as he headed towards the front door of his apartment. He opened the front door, an obvious look of disdain plastered on his face.
“You look like hell.” A small sympathetic smile spread across Yongguk’s face as he saw the exhaustion and after effects of alcohol painted on Himchan’s face.
“Feel like shit.” Himchan scratched the back of his head lightly as he moved aside, allowing Yongguk to enter his apartment. Himchan wobbled into his kitchen, Yongguk following behind him, Himchan making himself a pot of coffee to provide himself a wake up call.
“Acted like a peice of shit too.” Yongguk noted. Himchan scowled, knowing exactly what Yongguk was referring to.
“You’ve talked to Y/N.” Himchan took a sip of coffee, his face scrunching up from the bitter touch of the scorching liquid.
“She called me and told me where you. And also for you to basically go to hell,” Yongguk sighed, shaking his head in dismay at his friend’s actions. “I know what you’re trying to do...It would be better if you just told her instead of this.”
Himchan scoffed, placing his mug on the counter before crossing his arms. “If I told her, you know she would only get more involved.” Himchan sighed. He was resolute in his plan. You were too fiery, too passionate. Too caring to let something like this slide.
“True,” Yongguk let a small gummy smile appear, thinking about your gungho nature. “But it’s better than hurting her and hurting-”
“Himmiechann! Why did you get out of bed? I missed you.” Himchan’s face scrunched up at the high-pitched sound of last night’s escapade. A playful little grin was plastered on her lips, only the bed sheets hiding her frame.
“Yourself?” Yongguk raised a brow at the sight of the girl.
“Who's you’re friend, Himmichan?” She flashed Yongguk a flirty grin, who returned her attempts with a cold expression. “I’m not usually into threesomes, but I’ll make an exception.”
“Did you come here just to scold me, Bang? And those punks call me a mom.” Himchan rolled his eyes as he completely ignored the woman.
“No, though you do deserve a good kick in the ass,” Yongguk sighed and shook his head. “Youngjae got found the location of the Dragon Prince.”
“Great,” Himchan’s tired eyes turned into those of a hunter. The haze was gone and was now replaced with a fire and devilish nature. “Let’s head out.”
“Himmiiiiieeeeeeccchhhhhhaaaaannnn~” The girl whined. Himchan made a note to himself to never pick up a girl from a bar ever again. Especially one of those young party girls. They tended to get attached. “What about me? I thought, you know, maybe we could do-”
“Sorry, this was a one time thing,” Himchan walked past her, grabbed a clean shirt and began to head out the door, putting one arm in one of the sleeves. “It was fun.” He gave a casual wave as he left the apartment, Yongguk exiting quickly after.
“Are you sure it’s safe to leave her in there alone?” Yongguk smirked, knowing that hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn.
“There’s nothing of value there so it’s fine. It’s not like it’s my private apartment,” Himchan snorted. “And don’t act like you don’t have one of these apartments either.”
“I do have them, but I don’t bring guest over.” Yongguk rolled his eyes as the two walked down the stairs of Himchan’s apartment complex.
“So that’s where that bastard has been hiding….” Himchan glared at the floorplans that was laid out before him.
“We should of guessed that he would hole away in one of their storage warehouses….” Daehyun growled as he leaned back into the couch, crossing his arms.
“How did you find this, hyung? This warehouse isn’t even on their list of storage units?”  Zelo raised an eyebrow as a cocky smirk glued itself to Youngjae’s lips.
“From the information about the INF. There was a list of of warehouse and storage units. From there I just had Jongup here do what he does best.” Youngjae grinned as he ravished in the glory of finding the Dragon Prince.
“People tend to talk after a few broken ribs and perpendicular tibia.” Jongup smirked, cracking his fingers as he did so. Himchan scowled a bit, not fond of Jongup’s bloodthirsty method, but at the moment, he didn’t care. If it would give him answers. A way. A method to keep you safe. He’d didn’t care of the means.
“So now that we have the where, how about the when?” Yongguk raised a brow as he looked down at the floor plans, analyzing them to see which way would be the best means of escape or the best means of entry.
“Soon,” Himchan adjusted his jaw. “The rest of the Emperor Dragons are probably there with him. We need to know exactly what their game plan is before jump in guns blazing.”
“Too much thinking will get you nowhere Himmiechan.” Jongup gave Himchan a bored smirk at his over planning.
“Better to think then end up dead.” Himchan growled, not wanting to deal with Jongup’s shit.
“Really? And where has all this thinking got you? Playing the fool for little ol’ marion?” Jongup scoffed. Himchan nearly jumped at Jongup, but Himchan was held down by Yongguk’s strong grip.
“Himchan’s right. We just don’t want them dead. We want answers.” Daehyun noted, trying to soothe the tension that had erupted between the group.
“I guess,” Jongup shrugged. “So I guess we’ll be paying a visit to Lu Feng again?”
“How much do we need this time?” Youngjae let out a small groan at the price tag this information was going to entail.
“Don’t act like we don’t have the cash to cover it,” Himchan rolled his eyes. “Our diamond heist last year gave of us more than enough funds, you miser.”
“So then let’s roll while the sun is still up.” Yongguk nonchalantly chimed in, getting up from his seat and heading towards the back garage where their vehicles were stored.
Zelo’s face scrunched a bit as he got a waft of something as he walked past Himchan. “Yah, hyung…” He sniffed the air a few more times. “Why do you smell like cheap perfume?”
Himchan froze at the words that left the maknaes mouth. Yongguk quickly covered his mouth, muffling the chuckles that were escaping his lips. Daehyun, Youngjae, and Jongup looked at each other confused then back at Himchan. “Just get in the car, Zelo!” Himchan shouted as he stormed towards the garage.
“Bearcat! BEARCAT!” You jumped at the sound of Ralphie’s voice booming in your ear. “I think you’ve shaken my martini enough.” He chuckled as you realized that you had probably over shaken his cheek.
“I’m sorry...I’ve just got a lot of things going on…” You tried to flash him a believable smile, but you knew that you weren’t fooling anyone.
Your thoughts kept going back to Himchan. His hurtful words. His cold demeanor. You didn’t know if you wanted to punch him in the face or interrogate him. Either way, you were confused and angry. You knew deep in your heart that the Himchan from that night was not the Himchan you grew to knew. Grew to be fond of. But you didn’t know what caused him to act this way, to purposely hurt you this way. You wanted to know, at least to try to comprehend his actions before you kicked his ass.
“You’ve been distracted lately,” Ralphie shot you a sympathetic smile. “Has it got anything to do that special agent that keeps popping up around here?”
“No. He is just a friend...gossip really does get around doesn’t it? And men think women are the rumor mill.” You chuckled, resting your chin in your hand.
“Then it’s those BAP boys? They haven’t popped up lately.” Ralphie raised a brow, a smirk on his face when he saw your eyebrows furrowed a bit. Bingo.
“Curiosity is dangerous, you know.” You smirked, leaning in so that your face was inches from Ralphie.
“Y/N,” You looked up at sound of your name to see Lu Feng enter the club, eyeing the surroundings back and forth. You raised a curious eyebrow. Lu Feng wasn’t the type to come to the bar. More of a tea over booze type of guy. Plus the cloud of smoke made him cough up a storm. You knew something was up for him to come down to Le Noir. “We need to talk. Now.”
You gave a polite smile at Ralphie as you followed Lu Feng to the back of the club. “Feng. Feng! What’s going on?” You pulled onto his arm, hoping to calm him down.
Lu Feng scrunched his face for a moment, covering his mouth with a cloth as he entered the private room of the club. “How can you stand stewing in that cloud of lung cancer?”
“I have lungs of steel,” You rolled your eyes. “Now what’s going on.”
“Ask your BAP buddies,” Lu Feng flopped down on the couch, rubbing his temples. “If it weren’t for you Y/N, I wouldn’t give a rat’s ass about those guys.”
“Wait, what? You’re not making any sense Feng!” For Feng to come down here and to be stressed about something. What he knew. What he was going to tell you. It was a matter of life or death.
Lu Feng chewed on his bottom lip, contemplating on whether he would dare utter the words that threaten to leave his lips. “I shouldn’t be here or even telling you this. That Himchan guy told me to keep you at arm's length.”
“Lu Feng. Answer me now. What is going on.” You glared at your friends.
“Your buddies are walking into a freaking trap!” Lu Feng let out an exasperated sigh. “When I told them about the Dragon Prince….I didn’t know that….” He shook his head in dismay. “They’re getting themselves into something bigger than they think. The Dragon Prince knows they’re coming tonight. I don’t know how or what intelligence he is getting it from, but he knows. His buddies will be there waiting for them guns blazing. And to make matters worse those damn special agent buddies are hot on the Dragon Prince’s trail…”
You froze, letting all that information sink in….solidify in your mind. The pieces were starting to fall into place. Why Himchan acted like an asshole. Why he kept pushing you away. You knew why and that made your heart swell more, yet at the same time the fury from his secrecy burned. “Lu Feng, where is the Dragon Prince now….”
“I don’t know….If I did I would tell you….” Lu Feng sighed, vigorously scratching his head. “All I know is that he’s in one of the warehouses down at the docks….” You quickly turned around heading towards the exit. “Yah! Where do you think you’re going!?”
“To go warn them.” You growled, grabbing your phone to ask one of Sam watch over the bar for you.
“Warn them? You don’t even know where they’ll be?” Lu Feng looked at you dumbfounded, following you out the door and through the club.
“I just can’t sit here, Feng!” You ran your fingers through your hair trying to figure how you were suppose to accomplish this impossible mission.
“More than likely the Dragon Prince and his crew will be somewhere around here…” Himchan circles the center of the warehouse.
“It has the best coverage and there is no way to surprise them without navigating through all that cargo.” Yongguk noted.
“And navigating through that maze is going to be hell.” Daehyun sighed, imaging the towers of cargo and them getting lost in a sea of boxes.
“Then we’ll use this maze to our advantage,” Himchan smirked, marking 4 different positions. “We’ll play a game of cat and mouse. Zelo, try to get a good vantage point and play a game of target practice with the guys at the front entrance. While those guys are distracted, Jongup, Daehyun, Youngjae, you three go in and try to eliminate as many of the small fries as you can. Yongguk, try to make as many contained distractions as you can inside. I’ll take care of the Dragon Prince.”
“Got it.” Daehyun and Zelo nodded in affirmation.
“Finally, some fun.” Jongup smirked, cocking his semi-automatic.
“Let’s get this over with.” Himchan sighed as they got out of the SUV, removing the ammunition and artillery needed from the back of the car.
You closed your the door of your black corvette, scanning the surrounding area for any sign of the boys. All you could hear was the small screeching of seagulls and the slow waves of the polluting water crashing against the concrete dock. The smell of salt water and panic filling the air. You didn’t know where to go or where to start searching, but all you knew was that you had to find them fast.
You just ran. Hoping and begging that you weren’t too late. A million thoughts were running through your heard. Scenes of what may come. Bodies. Blood. The boys who somehow brought a spark of excitement in your life now laying limp in a pool of their own blood. Himchan’s cocky, devilish spark now faded into nothingness. The smirk on his face now decorated with a trail of blood. You shook your head vigorously attempting to erase that image from your head. You weren’t going to let those you cared about slip through your fingers. Not like Scotty. Not like mom. You were going to save them.
You let out short breaths, scanning the area once more for any sign of the boys. Sweat trickling down your forehead, your white tank top, leather jacket, and dark blue jeans clinging to your body due to the excessive moisture. You scrunched your eyes at a familiar dot in the distance. It was an SUV similar to the one the boys had taken you back to their HQ in. You sprinted towards the car, hoping that they would still be in there. They weren’t.
“Damn it!” You slammed your fist against the hood of the car. You chewed your lip with so much strength you could taste of bit of iron enter your mouth. You looked around. Anywhere. Anyone. Help. You hated to admit it but you needed someone. Anyone. A hint. It wasn’t until a tuft of blonde on a nearby warehouse rooftop caught your eye that you found your clue. You squinted more to see who or what was up there, only to recognize the tall figure of Zelo in a sniper position. A Barrett M98B resting in his arms aiming at who knows what. You followed the aim of the sniper to find another warehouse not too far from where you were.
You quickly, but cautiously ran towards the warehouse, making sure your footsteps were not heard. You crouched down, hiding behind the walls of a near warehouse that boxed in the Dragon Prince’s hideout. Three heavily armed men dress in all black stood at the entrance. You grabbed the semi-automatic rifle in your holster and held it close to you. You had to be smart about this. Most likely the boys wouldn’t go through the front entrance. With the way Zelo was positioned his main goal was to get rid of the guys in the front so the rest of the boys must be coming from the back. You let out a small huff of breath preparing yourself to make a dash to the back.
“What are you doing here!” You jumped at the sound of a voice, quickly turning around and aiming your gun at the figure behind you. Himchan stood before you, dumbfounded and fuming. “You have got to stop aiming your gun at me.”
“Who told you to scare the shit out of me!?” You growled, your heart slowly falling to a steady beat.
“Who told you to be here.” He growled. He was mad. Furious. This entire charade and avoidance game he was playing was to prevent you from getting involved. But look at you now. Fully and 100% involved.
“Who told you to play Mr. Knight in Shining armor and hide this from me!?” You growled back. All the anger, frustration, yet care was spilling into your words. You were grateful that he cared for you. Flattered. You were furious that he thought you were so fragile that you couldn’t handle ‘big boy news.’
“I was trying to protect you.” He looked away from you, clenching his fist tightly.
“I don’t need protection.” You glared at him.
“You don’t understand!” He shouted, gritting his teeth, causing you to jump a bit.  “I just can’t….I can’t let you get hurt again. I can’t lose those I care about again.  Last time, if that was a real bomb….and when you got kidnapped...I just can’t let you get involved dammit. All of this! All of it is because of me! Because of us! If we didn’t come into your life you wouldn’t have almost got raped! You wouldn’t have to fear for your life or the life of your girls! You wouldn’t be here!” He scratched his head vigorously. He knew he needed to stop. Shut up. But he couldn’t. He felt that the damn that he built was crumbling in front of him. “I told myself that if I would push my feelings away. Let you be happy. Be with someone like your husband, like Special Agent Im, not-”
You grabbed Himchan’s collar, turning him around and crashing your lips against him. The kiss was rough, passionate, needy. You wanted him to feel what you felt. Tell him that you didn’t needed to be sheltered. Tell him that he didn’t need to push himself away. Himchan simply froze, unable to sink in the situation that had just occurred. Once you parted your lips from his, you gave him a firm, quick punch across the face, causing Himchan to fall back a bit.
“First of all, I decided to let you boys into my life. Not the other way around,” You let out a sigh. “And second of all, I decide who I want to be with. And if you ever try this stupid stunt of keeping me out of the loop again, you can bet as hell that it won’t be you.”
A small smirk appeared on Himchan’s lips as he rubbed the sore spot where you sucker punched him. Was this a dream? Could gangsters like him even have dreams like this? If it was then he would kill anyone who decided to break this dream. He let out a small chuckle, a feeling of glee and joy bubbling in his stomach, but he knew he had to suppress it. He was still on the job. Celebrations and joy could be taken care of later.
“Fiesty as ever. But I guess that’s what I like about you,” He snorted before stepping closer to you. “But I’m serious, Adenium. You shouldn’t be here. You don’t know what-”
“I know exactly what I’m getting into. But apparently you don’t,” Himchan cocked an eyebrow at you. Confused at your words. “Lu Feng stopped at my bar earlier, he told me that the Dragon Prince knows you guys are coming,” Himchan’s expression distorted into one of cold, calculated, ruthless leader. Who had told him? Ratted out there plan. “Not only that but the special agents know where the Dragon Prince is here and they’ll probably come here anytime soon.”
Himchan let out a sigh, before turning on his earpiece. “Change of plans.”
“Exactly, so let's get the hell out of here. Tell the boys to get back and Zelo off the roof and let’s go.” You stared at Himchan confused when he shot you a cocky smirk at your suggestion.
“Guys, it looks like someone tipped of the Prince that we’ll be coming.”
“What?” Himchan could hear Daehyun’s and the rest of the boys’ confusion on the other line. “Who the hell told them?”
“Don’t know, but at the moment, don’t care. We’re gonna have to go about this another way. Yongguk start a distraction at the back. Smoke them out and once they all start pouring out of there Zelo you take care as much of them as you can. Daehyun, Jongup, Youngjae and I will be at the side of the front entrances taking care of the rest of them. If any one of us finds the Prince make sure to just incapacitate him. Don’t kill him.”
“But what about all the cargo, hyung?” Zelo chimed in, not to fond of the idea of letting all that possible profit go up in flames.
“Right now, that information that the Dragon Prince has is worth more than whatever is in those boxes.” Himchan noted then turned off the line.
“What are you doing!?” You threatened to punch Himchan again, but he quickly caught your fist and pulled you into a hug instead.
“I like seeing you all feisty and angry for my sake. It’s kinda cute.” He chuckled.
You scoffed, rolling your eyes and pushing him back. “Didn’t you hear what I said? The special agents are on they way. Do you plan to get caught? I’m sorry, but I don’t do well with prison romances.”
“We can’t let him slip away and if the special agents get a hold of him we will never get answers,” He gently petted your hair. “Just trust me, okay? We’ll come back in one piece.”
“And if you don’t?” You cocked an eyebrow.
“Then you can kill us.” He smirked.
“Why I like you I don’t even…” You sighed then rubbed your temples. “But I’m not staying here you understand me. I’m going in there with you. I am not some damsel in distress waiting on the side lines.”
“Even If I told you to stay here you would still come after me wouldn’t you?” He shook his head in dismay, knowing the answer already.
“Well aren’t you a smart cookie.” You gently patted his cheek as you started walking towards the warehouse.
“You seriously one hell of a woman.” He chuckled as he followed behind you. 
The smell of smoke filled the air as the plan was enacted. Himchan and you laid in wait at the left side of the entrance while Youngjae, Daehyun, and Jongup waited at the right side. Yongguk nonchalantly threw the second bomb through the window of the warehouse. The man at the front of the warehouse began to panic as shouts and smoke escaped from the warehouse, warranting them to check out what was going on inside. Before they could even reach the door, however, men began to pour out of the warehouse, pushing and shoving. Cursing and covering their mouth. That was the sign for Zelo to have a little fun. One shot. Two shot. Three. Men began to fall to the floor causing the panic to even stir even more. The men began to fire at random, not knowing where the enemy was, but not willing to go down without a fight.
“It’s those damn BAP punks! Damn it! Find them and kill them!” A young man with a black dragon tattoo wrapped around his neck shouted, a few coughs escaping his mouth. Dragon Prince found.
At the sight of the Dragon Prince, the boys got into gear, firing shots from the sidelines, using the warehouse walls as coverage. Himchan smirked at the sight of how easy this was, men falling down one by one like dominos. Everything seemed to be going as planned or even better. But something didn’t sit well with you. Lu Feng mentioned that they had heavy artillery, but you hadn’t seen it yet. If these guys were carrying heavy then where were-
“I’m done with this shit!” The Dragon Prince roared as two men came out with Ares Shrike 5.56 machine guns aiming at the boys. Bullets flying around in every direction.
“Get down!” Himchan shouted, instinctively pushing your head down to prevent you from getting injured.
“Scared now you punks?! You didn’t think I would let you guys get rid of us without a fight right?!” The Dragon Prince let out a maniacal laughter.
“Damn…” Himchan growled. “We need to get round back. Zelo has a vantage point so he can get rid of the guys with the heavy artillery-”
“Ah! Not so fast,” The both of you froze when one of the Dragon Prince’s men stood behind the two of you. Gun aimed right at Himchan’s head. “Not as easy as you thought eh?” He snickered, taking your guns and gesturing with his gun for the two of you to walk.
The two of you moved slowly towards the front, seeing Youngjae, Jongup, Daehyun and Zelo also waiting for the two of you at the front. The boys eyes going wide at the sight of you, but now wasn’t the moment to be astonished by your presence.  Himchan’s eyebrows furrowed. Finding the rest of the boys. That was understandable. But how the hell did they find Zelo?
“Looks like that tip was right,” The Dragon Prince snickered. “I was skeptical about the idea of a sniper, but I guess I should have learned not to doubt their information,” He grinned eyeing all of you as if he just caught his prey, but his expression darkened when he noticed one was missing. “Where is the last one?” The men around him shrugged, noting that they had not found him. “Well then go find him you bumbling idiots!” The Dragon Prince sighed. “It’s so hard to find good help these days.”
“Who told you that we were coming.” Himchan growled, only to be replied by a sock in the gut. Himchan let out a huff of air before glaring at the arrogant man before him.
“Heh, wouldn’t you like to know,” The Dragon Prince cracked his knuckles before turning his attention to you. “You even brought a woman with you?” He snickered. “Well she’s got a pretty face….and a rocking body to boot. I can see why you didn’t want this piece of ass out of your sights,” He gently caressed your cheek. You spat at his face as retaliation to his actions. “Heh…” He nonchalantly wiped the spit from his face. “Feisty too. Wonder if she’ll be like that after she’s tied to my bed.” You nearly gagged at the thought of this man even breathing near you let alone touch you. The boys glared at the man in disgust, wanting nothing more than to blow his brains out.
“I would rather have my brains blown out then let you touch me.” You snarled, only to have boredly wave your words aside.
“That could be arranged,” He snickered, but tilted his head a bit once he got a better look at you. “You look familiar though...how do I know you...I would have definitely remembered you if I slept with you….” He tapped his chin in contemplation before the light bulb hit him. “The detective’s girl! What was his name again? Sammy? Sully?”
“How do you know my husband!?” You growled. Not many people knew you were married, let alone to a detective. The only people who did were those close to you or him. Them and those involved in his murder.
“Ahhh, enough with the chit-chat. It’s about time I get rid of you all.” He yawned, instructing his men to move you aside and line the boys up so that they could do execution by firing squad.
Himchan’s mind was calculating, planning, at a mile a minute trying to figure out how to get out of this mess, but fortunately eyed Yongguk in the corner out of the men’s line of sight. A small smirk threatened to form on Himchan’s face as Yongguk flashed him a gummy smirk before he tilted his neck to gesture them to step back. Himchan eyed the other boys relaying the message. The moment they all took a slight step back, Yongguk threw the last of the fire bombs right in between the two men with machine guns holding the machine guns. Chaos ensued as the two men ran frantically trying to douse the fire that was engulfing them. You understood what was happening and quickly headbutted your captor with the back of your head, causing him to release you. You grabbed the gun from his hand, shooting his leg to incapacitate him. Himchan the the rest of the boys did the same, making sure that every single man was either injured or dead.
“No….this can’t….” The Dragon Prince fell into a panic. This wasn’t the plan. This wasn’t suppose to happen. He was suppose to get his revenge. Rule the this town. Not…He attempted to turn around and escape amidst the chaos.
“Where do you think you’re going,” The Dragon Prince froze as he felt the cold metal of the end of a gun pointed at his head. “I have some questions for you,” The Dragon Prince slowly turned around so that he was facing Himchan. His expression was still arrogant, cocky. Even if he lost, he wasn’t going to show it. “Let’s start out simple. What is INF and what do they have to do with your gang’s activities.”
The Dragon Prince couldn’t help but let out a maniacal laughter at that. You all eyed each other. Confused and astonished by this peculiar reaction. “You guys have no idea who you’re messing with. The INF, they are something beyond your level,” He snickered, staring right at you. “You probably know it best, missy. Well actually your husband does.” Your eyes went wide as you came up to him, grabbing him by the collar.
“The INF is them isn’t it! That syndicate that killed Scotty!” You growled, tightening your grip. The Dragon Prince shrugged nonchalantly,
“Why don’t you ask you husband in the afterlife?” He chuckled, causing your frustration to grow. You had your first clue. It was so close you could taste. So close to Scotty’s killers. To bringing him justice. “I told you people. If they wanted, you all would be dead.”
“Who the hell are ‘they’!?” Himchan growled, not enjoying playing his games at the moment.
“Some say they’re the devil. Manipulating all of us. Nobody knows exactly who they are how far their reach is,” He chuckled. “They could be the chief of police, they could be the stripper down at Lovelies, hell they  could even be one of you. Either way I’m not telling you anything else.”
“Well we can be very persuasive.” Jongup cracked his knuckles, gesturing you to move aside when-
BANG!
You all froze. Blood spattered across you face and clothes as you saw the Dragon Prince’s body fall limp before you. You looked at Himchan and the boys, your mind still not assessing the situation. The boys had their guns up, looking around frantically for who the shooter was. Himchan ran up to you, shaking you lightly. Trying to pull you back into reality, checking if you were okay.
“The blood isn’t mine…” You mumbled out, looking down at the dead body before you. Your lead. Your clue. Dead within seconds.
“Damn it!” Youngjae growled as he kicked at nothing. “Who the hell-” He scratched his head vigorously.
“It was a sniper…” Zelo picked up the blood covered bullet not far off from where the Dragon Prince’s body lied.
“God damn it!” Himchan growled, nearly throwing his gun to the ground. “This INF….they’re treating us as fools…” He ran his fingers through his hair. “This was just a warning….” He side glanced at the Dragon Prince’s lifeless body. “If they wanted, they could have shot all of us. But they didn’t…”
“They wanted to show us that our life is in their hands…” Jongup growled. He did not getting played, or being manipulated. Silence filled the air as the boys realized exactly who they were up against. It wasn’t any two-bit gang. It wasn’t even someone of Padrino’s level. It was worse. Much worse. Someone or something that was manipulative enough, ruthless enough, and cunning enough to remain in the shadows yet to hold so much power.
“You guys, we need to go…” Your voice broke the boys from their thoughts. “The cops are coming and I’m 100% sure that this is going to pinned on us if we stay here.” You gestured to the blue and red lights in the distance.
“Let’s move out,” Himchan tilted his head towards the direction of the car. “Hey…” He came up to you as the boys started packing things up and starting the engine. “You okay?” He gently caressed your cheek, wiping away the blood that soiled your skin.
“I’m just so pissed. He was the one lead. The one key to finding out who the hell this syndicate is.” You clenched your fist at how helpless you were feeling. How defeated you felt.
“It’s not over yet,” Himchan flashed you a small smile as he cuppd your face and lifted it up so that he could look into your eyes. “They’ve gave us a warning so now we’ll give them theirs. If they won’t come out on their own, we’ll make them come out. The kings fall to no one.”
