CHAPTER 69 (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

You raised your bat, your eyes holding a cold glint as you prepared yourself to actually harm Number One-

Only for the lights to turn off.

"Damn it. All of you damned bastards. I thought I told you not to get caught by the police."

Your eyebrows furrowed with confusion as you felt a familiarity with what the mystery person was saying.

'Hasn't this already been said?'

"To think this many people, who all want to kill me, have gathered."

'Gun?' You thought, tilting your head as you tried to decipher who it was.

"How are you-" Johan said, gritting his teeth as he felt his anger rise.

"Is that Johan? Wait a moment. I still have something to say. AHEM-"

Wait a sec.

The light turned on, thanks to Hangyeol and it was revealed that the person was Goo who was impersonating Gun for no particular reason.

Your stare turned flat as you saw Goo turn from shock to pure annoyance, throwing his umbrella behind him and stomping over to Hangyeol.

"Do you know how long it took to practice those lines? I even got a script from Gun! I'm gonna make my entrance again, you hear me?!" Goo yelled as he took a hold of Hangyeol and shook him aggressively.

"I'm sorry but there's no need for you to help me. I can take care of them by myself." Hangyeol told with a calm look.

Goo stepped back, stuffing his hands in his pockets as he raised a brow at the younger boy.

"What are you talking about? I'm not on your side." He revealed and you got an idea of who he really came for.

"I'm here to help, Samuel."

His secret friend and the only one you knew of officially.

"I'm an adult so I should start to be independent. Isn't that right, Hangyeol?" Goo said with a carefree grin.

His eyes opened and his expression dropped, however, as he took in the presence of Number One.

"I thought things would turn out well here but...look at this nuisance. Want me to take it out?" Goo commented as he eyed the burly figure with distaste.

"Please do!" Daniel, who had been standing in the back all this time, despite having the most stamina and ability to fight Number One, was the one pleading Goo to help them.

"You know that asking will cost you money. How about we start from...ten billion won?" Goo asked, preparing to take out a weapon he had hidden all this time.

"Nope."

You grasped his wrist, holding him in place and he gazed down at you with surprise.

"We don't have that money so, I'll take care of it myself." You said, declining his help.

Goo called out to you but you were already approaching Number One with your metal bat.

"Not so fast!"

You yelped as you were grasped by the back of your top and pulled backwards.

"Do you really think I'm going to stand back and let you fight that monster? I'm not heartless." Goo asked before shaking his head.

"Um...actually, I already-"

"Shh!"

Goo placed a finger against your lips and you went cross-eyed for a second as you peered down at it before focusing back on the older boy.
