Monsta X - The Hunting Party

The Hunting Party

WARNING: I don't need to tell you that weapons are dangerous, you don't hunt your friends and you absolutely DO NOT try any of this at home. 

Minhyuk was bored.

"I'm bored!" he announced with a melodramatic sigh and dropped his forehead down onto the kitchen table, headbutting it repeatedly.

Changkyun was immediately irritated, it didn't take much. "How can you be bored already? It's 7:30 am."

"Well I don't know!" Minhyuk moaned. "I just am. Lets play a game."

Hyungwon was tired. The last thing he felt like doing was playing games. He glanced around at everyone wondering what their take on it was.

Jooheon, ever the more sporting of the group, decided to humour him and dared to ask, "What do you have in mind?"

Minhyuk's face exploded into a beautific smile, the opportunity he'd been waiting for had presented itself sooner than he expected. "Hang on a minute." He ran out of the room, returning moments later with a huge, oddly shaped sack.

Everyone looked at each other, questioning looks on their faces. Something wasn't sitting right here.

"What's in the sack?" Kihyun wasn't really sure he wanted an answer but he found himself asking anyway. The sooner someone asked the most obvious question, the sooner they could all stop looking at each other in concern.

"Thank you Kihyun, I'm glad you asked. We are going to play..." Minhyuk waved his hands with an enthusiastic flourish, "The Hunting Party!"

He emptied the contents of his sack on to the table. Everyone leaned forward, their eyes wide. Each of them reached out with tentative fingers to take one of the items.

"A harpoon?" Kihyun, manhandled his chosen item seductively, making everyone turn away in red faced embarrassment.

"A crossbow?" Hyungwon had suddenly woken up, tracing his fingers along the bow. The craftsmanship was stunning.

"A hunting rifle?" Jooheon was excited, he'd always wanted to fire one, perhaps today was the day.

"A set of throwing knives!" Changkyun realised he shouldn't have sounded quite so enthusiastic but on counting, he noticed he had enough to stab everyone in the back if he needed to. He really did have anger issues. Maybe he should get that sorted out later.

Shownu picked up a slingshot and a collection of rocks, a worried look on his face. "This all seems a bit dangerous. Why are there only five weapons?"

"Because Minhyuk is a weapon all by himself!" Changkyun retorted, with an unpleasant sounding snort.

Minhyuk shot him a murderous look. "No!" he shouted, rather loudly. "It's not because of that. There are five weapons for five hunters."

"But there are six of us?" Shownu was developing a very bad feeling about all of this and where it was leading.

Minhyuk sank dramatically into a chair, why was everyone so stupid? "We cant have six weapons..." Minhyuk enunciated every word slowly as if they were all pre-schoolers. "If we have six weapons, who are we going to hunt?"

"Who?" Khiyun looked around at everyone nervously. "Who?"

Minhyuk was becoming aggravated quickly. "What's this? The annual convention of the mathematicians and an owl? You all fill me with deep regret over my life. I don't know why I bother with you." He folded his arms petulantly.

"How long have you been planning this exactly?" Shownu seemed to be the only one realising the life threatening implications of this ill thought out and haphazard idea.
