chapter one

*sorry I'm writing this in a rush, hopefully I'll rewrite it later someday :) hope you like the base!*

y/n POV:

"We really need to stop doing this Joong" - I said, panting, trying to recover my breath from the ambush we just fled.

"Calm down y/n, I won't let anything happen to you" - Said Hongjoong, my older brother. "You need to keep up with your training"

Me and Hongjoong had never had, what some would call, a real home. When I was about 10, both of our parents died in a terrible car crash, very cliché but still painful. I can barely remember anything about that day, besides Joongs heartaching cries at night. He's the person I trust the most, my only family. If he says I won't get hurt, then I won't. I'll be safe.

Our parents worked for M.M, leader of the HALA mafia. The Masked Master is the most fearsome mafia leader in Korea, powerful enough to sabotage internal gobernment affairs and whose influence is crucial for carrying out high-ranking organized crimes. He's into really dark stuff. Istg the man is hella intimidating. Not even Joong is able to look at him in the eye.

M.M. was the one person that took care of us. We know perhaps mafia life is not the right path for everyone, but this was all we had to choose from. The Masked Master saved us. He gave us a fancy home, a good education, and all kinds of luxuries. As he never had a partner or a child, I assume he must have felt lonely right? Of course, if he actually is able to feel lol.

The point is, we owe him more than our lives.

"I know, but I'm afraid I'll get nervous by the debut on the Big Day" I replied.

Me and Joong were partially raised by him since then, but in secret. We were his secret weapon, his magic card under the sleeve. No other mafia knew about our existence.

"It will be fine. It's true SKZ mafia has gained power since HALA last faced them, but we have as well. Right minion?" Hongjoong said, and laughed.

"You got a point there. We're going to ace it" I said, suddenly realizing what he just did.

"And could you please stop minioning me, as your only alive relative , truly, it's sad you call me that way"

"Go, ask Seonghwa or Yunho" "Or pretty much anyone in the team, you're the shortest anyway" I attacked. Yup, woke up and chose violence.

"What a bully, you're a meanie Kim y/n" Hongjoong pouted as he walked away, in the direction of M. Master's office. He do be spitting facts tho.

Back to the debut, we call it "The Big Day" as we've never been seen before. Me and Hongjoong spent the past 10 years of our lives training, every single day. Blood, sweat and tears were worth it though. Results are starting to show. Since the last six months, we've been taking action in some missions, like stealing some fire weapon shipments, blackmailing some state gobernors and sorting out a couple conflicts with drug dealers, who will no longer get in the way. The usual. Today we attacked the base of the ONEUS mafia, which is now under the M.M 's power.

Just when I was about to shower, I hear Hongjoong looking for me in the hallway. The mission was supposed to be covered already. I run and meet him. As I see his terrified face, expresiosns full of worry and shaking hands, I sense something must not be right.

"Y/n the-there's been a change of plans" he stuttered. "We're debuting to-today"

"Sh*t" I mumbled. "I thought the plan was still being checked? The one of the Big Day, I-"

"SKZ mafia seem to have taken advantage on the low all this time. They're already in the warehouse, about to steal our merchandise"

"Wait, you mean-" i was cut off by him.

"Yes y/n, it's the 2 000 Billion dollar mission. The merchandise we were going to steal next Tuesday" he sighed. "They seem to have brought some allies, there's too many of them. If we don't get that we'll be screwed, I-"

"It's okay Joong. Look at me, we're doing it okay? Today" "We'll be fine, we'll be safe, remember?" I reassured him as we hugged.

Or at least, that's what I thought.
