"So!" S.Coups addressed his team, "Everything ready?"

They were to attack a mall and hold people in there hostages. It was to be done because the person who had hired them was having a feud with the mall owner and he wanted something out of him, they weren't told what.

It was a Sunday so there would be more people and it would be more affective.

"Yes!" everyone said, covering themselves up and grabbing their weapons.

Minghao held the shotgun and suddenly it didn't feel so right anymore.

"Why do you have to ruin so many lives? Just how can you do so? What have they done to you?"

Junhui's words seemed to go on inside his head. It was true though. What had they done? Why should they suffer because of someone else's fights?

"The8!" S.Coups looked at him, "Spot D. You take charge."
"Yes!" he nodded, swallowing a lump in his throat. He didn't want to. But there was nothing he could do. He gripped onto the gun tightly. He felt like a monster. Perhaps he was one.

"Alright, get inside the cars. Mission 432, commence!"

"So?" Soonyoung wrapped his arm around Junhui's, "It feels better right?"
"It does." He smiled, eyeing the shops around him.
"You wanna buy something?" Wonwoo asked.
Jihoon shook his head, "Let's just go to the arcade."

They were about to go when they were startled by a loud bang followed by screaming and shouting. They whipped their heads back and saw a huge mob of people, with their face covered, holding guns entering the area.

"Oh fuck! Run!"

"NO ONE MOVES! IF ANYONE DOES, WE SHOOT!" the statement was followed by an air shot for more emphasis. The people were stilled.

Junhui and his friends inched closer to each other, their hearts beating fast and their minds feeling fuzzy. People around them were screaming and crying and some were begging to the mob.

Junhui was staring at the mob with hatred. He recognized them. They were the same people form that day. That meant... Minghao was there too. He clenched his fists as one of the men came and stood in front of them.

At a distance, someone was speaking something to the crowd, but Jun wasn't listening. The background seemed to fade for him as he focused on the person in front him. He hadn't learnt martial arts for nothing. He could knee his back, pull his hair down and grab the gun away from him. He could do something, this way.

And so Junhui did it. He did it all before even realizing. But it wasn't as he expected. As soon as his knee met the guy's back, he turned around and hit his jaw with the gun and pushed him down, pressing the muzzle to his forehead.

"JUNHUI!" his friends let out a scream.

"You're trying to act oversmart?" he growled, "Look what happens-"
"Gama stop!" a voice cut him off.

Junhui's eyes widened as he recognized it. It was Minghao's!

"But!"
"I said stop!" he hissed making his way to him, all eyes were on him, a tense silence settling. He stared at the masked man firmly, "Evacuate the people." Gasps followed.
"The fuck?" someone else said.
"You heard what I said." He looked at his men, "Evacuate the people!"

Junhui stared at him, surprised. What was he doing?

The men froze for a while before opening a door and letting the people out.

"Get out, Gama. Let me deal with them." He stared at Junhui darkly and then at his friends, "You'll find him at the exit. Get out!"
"We're not leaving him alone!" Soonyoung said, bravely.
"Well then you will. Get out, I said!"
"What will you do with him?"
"Talk."
"You-"

"Just get out!" Junhui said, getting up and holding his jaw, "He won't harm me."
"Save yourself and run." His friends apprehensively and hesitatingly ran out.

"Are you stupid?" Minghao looked at him, "Just what the fuck made you do that?"
"I did it because I'm not like you!" he yelled, his voice shaky, "What are you doing this time anyway?" he took in a shaky breath, "Minghao please stop! These people haven't done anything!"
"Junhui!" he screamed, "What the fuck? Why can't you just stay away from my business?"
"Just fucking stop! You still have time! Please let the people go! Don't hurt the people!"

Minghao just stared, his mind blank. He wouldn't lie, his conscience had started to bug him. He couldn't deal with the thought of people getting hurt anymore. Once a life is gone, it's gone.

"S.Coups!" he spoke through the earpiece, "Evacuate the people..." Junhui gasped, "Yes just do it... you want to play safe... Jangmin has problems with the owner... no! He cares about property! Evacuate the people! Before the police enters... Thank you!"

A while later, Junhui could see a whole crowd of people running out and police sirens from outside. Minghao stiffened, "Run out!" he said before running away. Junhui breathed heavily and took the exit, releasing himself from the suffocating interiors.

"Jun!" his friends hugged him, wailing.
"Guys!" he said, as he looked at the policemen running inside. "I'm fine!"

They went back home, their heart racing rapidly still. But Junhui wasn't scared. He was surprised and confused.

Minghao had listened.
