The picture is of Sinu, whenever he's laying across everyone's laps.

I stand beside Sinu, casually braiding my wet hair as he stalls Black Bear. I finish quickly, trying to look a little more dignified as I stand sopping wet. The leader of Black Bear watches, glaring at Sinu's previous words.
"Oh, damn. You hear that? Show him all you've got." He says, raising his hand in approval to attack. "Slit his goddamn throat!"
I tense up people lunge at us, knifes heading for our skin. I quickly swipe my foot under my attackers and Sinu leans away from the knife at his throat
"Whew...." My eyes widen slightly whenever Sinu drops to the ground, bowing at Beom. He groveled at their feet, looking at him with desperation.
"Please forgive them this once! Please, Mr. Beom! Just let me take these kids with me! They're just a bunch of clueless teenagers! Hormones are crazy!" I roll my eyes, crossing my arms as I kick away a knife that was on the floor beside me. It lands into the pool with a splash. Sinu ignores me completely, continuing to beg Woong.
"I'll make sure they behave themselves from now on! Please forgive them! They didn't know what they were getting themselves into!" I try to control myself, getting a really strong urge to kick him. "Have mercy on them! I'm begging you sir!"
"... Will you lick my feet if I forgive them?" Mr. Beom asks, holding Fluffy in his arms. I crinkle my nose at the offer, but Sinu nods quickly.
"Your feet? I'll do you one better, sir! I'll serve you with my tongue for the rest of my life! And Fluffy too! My Agi over there will serve as well!" Sinu says, giving me a crooked smile that he hides from the gangsters. "She is very good with her mouth! The best I know!"
"Sinu.... You bastard!" I kick him, right in the ribs. "I'll tear you apart!"
"My sweet Agi, can't you see that us adults are trying to talk?" Sinu asks, grinning as he holds his side. I glare at him, fuming as I hide my amusement. Stupid Sinu, making me laugh and pissed at the same time.
"I say we just finish this and go back home. I'm hungry and about to pass out because I was in a freezing ass pool all night!" I rant, ignoring the people around us that watched with wide eyes. "Plus! I missed a call from Gun, who is probably going to tear apart my room looking for me! Shit, my room.." I trail off, eyes search for my phone.
"Where is my phone?" I ask Mr. Beom, seeing him watch me blankly. "I need to call someone. He's probably tearing Seoul apart trying to find me." Mr. Beom sighs, shaking his head as he looks at me.
"Your phone is in your pocket, brat." My eyes widen slightly as I reach into Samuel's jacket pocket, fingers landing on my dripping wet phone. My breathing stops as I pull it out, clicking the power button. My eyes stay on the screen as it stays black, looking at my reflection in the black mirror.
"It's broken..." I raise my head slowly, glaring at Mr. Beom with a new form of rage. "You bastard! I got this as a birthday present! I'm going to fucking kill you!"
"Ah, for fuck's sake..." Sinu stands up and holding me back as I try to grab Woong. I fume at him, trashing around in Sinu's arms.
"I knew you didn't mean it, you little bastard." Woong Beom says, looking at us blankly. Sinu nods, looking at him seriously as I go still in his arms.
"Woong.... Are you sure you can handle it?" I blink whenever I realize where he was going with this.
"... Handle what?"
"I am THE Sinu Han from Big Deal! And this is my Agi! Don't you know who she is?! She's got connections with some of the strongest men in Seoul! Hell, she's one of the strongest people too!" Sinu says, looking at Woong evenly. "Are you SURE you can handle the repercussions of killing us?!" I watch as Woong's face settles into a blank stare as he listens to Sinu.
"If we die, that may seem like the end of it! But Woong, head of the Black Bear gang, will be known forever as the cowardly man that killed poor defenseless Sinu Han and Maiya Min Choi, who is just a young girl!" I nod in approval as confliction flickers across Woong's face. Even though Sinu and I could easily beat the Black Bear gang right now, one of the boys could get hurt in the process. It was best if we just kept things clean for right now.
"We know how much Black Bear values their reputation!" I add, standing tall beside Sinu. "Do you really what people to find out that you didn't fight us fair and square? If you loose your reputation, you loose your clients too." I quote something that Daddy would tell me often, Sinu nodding beside me.
"Also whenever Big Deal, Kim Goo, and Jong Gun finds out we're dead, they'll be after you! Maiya's dad with have you murdered in sleep! Are you SURE you can handle that?!" Sinu tosses his phone of the ground, a video pulled up. "It's your call, Woong! YouTube's really popular these days, so I tried it myself!"
We all listen as Sinu explains in the video that he was going to rescue a bunch of teenagers from the infamous Black Bear gang, and, if he doesn't come back, post it. I smile at the genius of it, nodding in approval. He'd threatened with the media, a great call on his part. Perfect, actually.
"If that gets posted online, people will find out about all the missing kids too." I say, Sinu nodding beside me.
"Woong. Let's not do this today." Sinu smiles at him, using his natural charm. "We'll set a date for a proper fight some other time. Big Deal and Black Bear have been rivals for a long time now. It'll be a shame for it to end like this."
"...." Woong lowers his head slightly, voice low. "...Go."
"You heard the man." I say, leaning over the pool to help Jason and Brad out as Jerry climbs out but himself. I grab a knife from the floor and cut off their ropes, skillfully avoiding their skin.
"Let's go, Agi." Sinu holds his hand out to me and I take it, the boys following behind us as we walk past the hoard of Black Bear members. I give them a bright smile, watching them look at me with wide eyes as we walk past them. Stupid adults.
