Delinquents : The Thirteen Contenders

Chapter Sixteen : Sudden test of skills

"Kid, trust me, cutting is useless"

"Yeah it's useless once you have someone that is currently the reason of your living"

Chan Rolled his eyes sarcastically as he saw Jihoon trying to prevent losing his temper.

"Seriously, you're the second to test my patience after that stupid hamster"

Jihoon whispered to himself as he heard Chan chuckle. Jihoon took a deep breath as he looks at Chan straight unto his eyes.

"Trust me kid, don't"

"Don't know, let's just see"

Chan shrug his shoulders as Jihoon just nodded his head. He may let him go this time but Jihoon swears that he'll help if ever.

He doesn't want anyone to experience the same state he had been through. Life is tough but he was sure that Chan will overcome that.

He may not know Chan's side but he'll know soon the reason on why Chan is like this.

A depressed numb kid who is careless with his life. A kid who wanted to experience happiness but never got because of the trauma their family gave them.

Never judge a person who hates their family, who never knew the abuse and trauma those person gave to their Child that made them suffer through their Childhood.

Not everyone had a lovely Childhood, it doesn't mean you are related by blood means you are suppose to help them.

It's funny for them to see how Satan turns into an angel real quick.

"Chan"

Chan hums at Jihoon's call as he saw Jihoon smiling at him. It was a sincere smile that he first saw from him. They're first meeting was Jihoon getting angry at him.

"Thank you"

Jihoon broke down in tears but still held a smile on in front of Chan. Chan stares at Jihoon as he didn't know how to comfort him.

"You're Welcome?"

Chan spoke as he was unsure of what to say. Jihoon laugh as he held unto Chan's hand while smiling.

"Let's go? The other's might be curious"

As they were about to head out of the room, Jihoon grabbed Chan as he raises his eyebrows towards him.

"Our conversation is only between the two of us"

"Of course"

The two smiled at each other as they slowly went out of the orphanage. Chan gave one last Glance at the orphanage as it send some chill unto his spine.

He then heard the car honk as he quickly ran inside to meet Jihoon. Jihoon then began to drive as he slowly started to change his emotion.

"I ain't going back to that place"

He heard Jihoon whispered as he chuckles at his statement. He understood his side so he knew the trauma Jihoon had experience.

He was honestly surprised by the amount of trust these men gives him but he was sure that he won't waste it.

Trust is harder to gain than forgiveness.

In the middle of their ride, a sudden call was what Jihoon receive. As he answered the call, Anger was the first emotion he noticed.

"Understood coups, I'll see you at the venue"

Jihoon dropped the call as he quickly changes the direction of the Car. He then saw Chan's face as he quickly sighs.

"We're Going to Changwon"

Jihoon answered.

"Changwon?"

"Wonwoo's hometown."

Chan was curious upon what's happening but decided to be patient upon this.

He never really had a proper interaction with the tall man but he'll be honest when he said that he was intimidating.

The way that man could survive through the silence sometimes would surprise him.

As for now, all he have to do is wait.

"Finally, you both are here"

Seungcheol Greeted as he opened the door for us to enter. Soonyoung then ran to hug Jihoon to only receive a hard punch at his shoulders.

"Ji! That hurts"

Soonyoung whines as Jihoon rolled his eyes before proceeding to the empty seat.

The two finally arrived after the three hour ride. Jihoon was a fast driver so Chan was honestly quite dizzy through out it.

"You survived"

Jeonghan spoke to receive a glare from Jihoon. The group knew how fast Jihoon would drive, they would sometimes be involve in an accident because of him so it was no surprise for the group.

"Anyways, We're going to have a meeting tomorrow with other dealers"

Seungcheol spoke as he made eye contact with everyone in the room. His eyes then stopped at Wonwoo's figure who is avoiding the leader's gaze.

"And Wonwoo's parent's will be attending"

Seungcheol said as silence began to surround the room. The group was furious upon hearing Wonwoo's parents that will attend.

Chan was the only was who has a confuse look. He was curious since he knew nothing about the tall man's past.

"You'll know that soon Chan, patience is a Virtue they say"

Seungcheol smirked as Chan just nodded in response.

"Get ready tomorrow, it'll be a long day"

Seungcheol look at the group as he lays his eyes at Chan who is look at the paper in front of him that contains their plans.

"Especially you Chan, it'll be a test of skills for you"

As Seungcheol said that, he then began to explain every part of their plan that will be done tomorrow.

Chan was surprised by the man's leadership along side his choice of words.

"Since you're new Chan, we don't expect too much since we didn't get to train you but just don't die alright?"

Seungcheol pats Chan's Shoulder's as the other's began to chuckle at The leader's words.

"Everything clear?"

Seungcheol raised his voice to receive a bunch of 'yes' and nods. When he heard their answers, Seungcheol walked out of the room as the other's began to leave one by one.

"Chan, your room is at the room beside Vernon's. Rest alright? It'll be a long day tomorrow"

Jeonghan said as he leads Chan to his room. They were staying at this rest house that Seungcheol seems to own.

He was honestly surprised by the man's expensive taste but he didn't really mind since he was the man who helped him live as for now.

As he entered the room, he went to the cabinets to see his clothes filled inside of it.

He guesses that they knew he didn't have time to go home so they bought it for him.

He was slowly having a soft spot for them as he held his hands. He knew that he shouldn't have but he couldn't help it.

By now, Chan realizes that he is willing to sacrifice anything for these twelve men.

Even his own living.
