The silver-haired male rolled his eyes, pushing Minho off of the motorcycle out of pure annoyance as the older simply got up and pouted at him. "Well you didn't have to do that!" He whined, earning an unreadable look from Jeongin who could've sworn that the demon would've replied in an awfully different way but shrugged it off as he was probably just weary and cautious of everything now.

The other two got off the motorcycle as well. He watched as Jisung climbed down into the weirdly shaped bunker of a base before he reached a hand out to grab at the ladder which was taped carelessly to the walls of the bunker. But as he was just about to swing his legs over to climb down, he was pushed aside by Minho, who threw himself down the hole just after he got back up from the rather harsh push.

At first, he was obviously confused. But didn't have to time to think as he heard what seemed to be the voice of Chan shouting from down below. He immediately climbed down and ran to make sure that the rest were alright, assuming that Chan was already back and having the expectation of seeing the rest there as well.

Unfortunately for him, upon entering the sealed off basement, he was met with disappointment but relief as well. Seeing as the rest were perfectly fine but also seeing as Hyunjin and Seungmin were nowhere to be seen.

"WHAT WERE YOU EVEN THINKING?! YOU HAVE A FRACTURED LEG AND EVEN STILL, YOU WENT OUT!" The youngest flinched, turning his attention to Jisung, who was the victim of Chan's relentless shouts of concern as well as his rather harsh scoldings. Jisung simply shook his head at that before responding, refusing to let Chan shout at him any more longer than necessary as it should've been just a simple word of concern.

"Listen, I wasn't the one who told one of our members that they should've never joined the gang. And plus, Minho's back now, we just need Seungmin and Hyunjin back." Jisung said, putting an emphasis on Hyunjin as he simply couldn't stand Chan letting such a small thing get to him like that. He knew Minho was childish on a daily but seeing Chan slowly become more childish than Minho just angered him more than that pesky demon ever could.

"I just wanted it make sure you were safe, that's all." Chan replied, much more quieter than his previous ones. "Well you might've succeeding in doing that but not in being a leader." The younger said, shooting down any bit of pride and ego left in the so-called leader as the reddish, black-haired male simply hung his head low at that. He knew Jisung was right and that was the worst part of it all.

Heck, he wasn't even a leader in the first place now that he thought about it. All this really derived from issues back at home. And now he was here. He started to overthink things after Jisung's truest statement.

What were all the roles of the members? Changbin was an assassin, usually in charge of making and carrying out the plans, Hyunjin was the gang's sharp eye/sniper, Jisung was good at handling weapons in general and was good with guns, Seungmin excelled in knife-throwing, and Jeongin was the member who would always be on the look out and typically helped out Changbin to make sure that his plans would succeed.

But what exactly did he do? What was his role in the gang? To simply take charge of every move and action the members were able to make or made? To simply control and boss the members around with his useless and often, helpless commands? To simply sit back and act as if he were helping the team out at all?

"I..." He continued to hang his head low, as Jisung crossed his arms just slightly below shoulder height whilst the rest stood around them, eyeing the two - especially Chan, in concern. "No response? None? None at all?" Minho egged on, taking Jisung's side as Chan felt more guiltier by the moment. He rolled his fingers in and clenched his fist, perhaps it was simply out of loss or just realization.

Either way, Chan would begin to walk away from the spotlight as the rest simply watched as he did so. And as soon as the door to the male's room would close, Changbin shot a glare at not just Jisung, but Minho, too. Before hastily making his way over to Chan's room in an attempt to reassure the older. Jeongin and Park Jisung both looked up at each other, unsure of what they should do. Meanwhile, Yeonjun was simply stunned and didn't move a single inch whatsoever, proceeding to stand still.

Even so, Jisung knew exactly what he was going to do and that was to simply hop back on his motorcycle and go out to take a breather for a moment. And that's exactly what he did. Just right after Changbin made his way over to Chan's room, he rolled his eyes and climbed out of their base, the sound of his motorcycle starting up could be heard from the ground below as he rode away.

Jeongin noticed this and knew that Jisung's sigh wasn't a sigh of relief but a worried one. He would admit too, he would be the worried one in the situation as well. Seeing as there were no signs of Hyunjin and Seungmin any where whatsoever, it just seemed hopeless. And with someone potentially on the look out for them, there was no way anybody could really trust anyone. Even the closest ones to you.

"Innie... can we talk?" Park Jisung whispered, afraid to draw any more attention other than Jeongin's towards his call. Jeongin, of course, nodded and silently walked to Park Jisung as he knew he was just as confused as he was. But as the orange-haired boy was about to speak, he suddenly turned to see that Yeonjun was about to potentially eavesdrop and raised a brow. He moved them both to the side, Yeonjun turning his head away from in the process.

"What's wrong?" Jeongin asked immediately after Park Jisung set them aside from the main area. The younger didn't say anything but simply pointed his eyes in the direction of Yeonjun, earning a nod from Jeongin who somewhat understood what that meant. "Did you not see that?" Park Jisung asked, looking at Yeonjun every now and then as if he were scared that the older would peer over them at any moment.

"What do you mean?" Jeongin whispered back, not quite sure as to why Park Jisung kept looking back and forth from him to Yeonjun and why the atmosphere suddenly seemed to be filled with much more awkward tension than usual. "He was glaring at Changbin the entire time... Even when we went out to bring him back." He said, looking over at Yeonjun suspiciously as Jeongin wasn't exactly sure what the youngest in the room was trying to conclude.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Jeongin asked, earning a pleasantly surprised look from the skeptic who actually wasn't sure what to answer back with. "I don't know... but that Hyunjin friend of yours might not be wrong for not trusting him." Although he may have came to their base alongside the older, he couldn't help but just feel that something was off ever since Jeongin's friend, Hyunjin, ran off. He knew the taller didn't trust Yeonjun one bit and honestly, he really couldn't blame him.

Who knows what it must feel like to know that someone is potentially watching you/purposely sabotaging you. And not to forget/mention, the amount of stress and disbelief that Chan must've placed on Hyunjin for telling him such un-logical and hurtful things.

Jeongin wasn't exactly believing this thought, but being a skeptic himself towards a certain demon had definitely helped him trust Park Jisung a lot more after thinking deeply about it. "I don't know... maybe he just doesn't like-" The younger immediately shot him an unamused look as Jeongin decided that he wouldn't finish his reply as he knew that it was a stupid thought.

"All I'm asking is just to keep an eye out... it's not that I don't trust him but... something tells me that he might know what's going on..." The blue-haired boy nodded, deciding to trust Park Jisung as he knew that when he was typically skeptic of something or someone, it was unlikely that his suspicions would be false.
