8 sips of Poison | Stray Kids Mafia AU (part 2 of 8 sips of Wine)

You're hurting me...

District 6, 18 years ago...

-They are not coming back! Grow up, kid! They are dead and you are just waiting for some corpses to come get you. You are stuck with us, a kid yelled at Youngjo.

But he didn't flinch. He remained with his little hands on the fence, waiting for his parents to come and save him from that place.

He held his tears for years, refusing to believe his parents died while working.

He knew being treasure hunters was a dangerous lifestyle, but he was so proud of them.

They didn't mean to hurt him. They thought the district would take care of him for the time they would be gone.

Who knew they were gonna be gone forever?

Present, New York

Jeongin woke up again, this time tied up to a chair in an unknown building.

His head was still throbbing and his wrists were burning because of the rope.

-You're awake.

He looked in front of him and saw an older guy sitting on the floor.

-Hello, Jisung! Good to have you here!

"Did he just call me Jisung?" Jeongin thought to himself.

-Where am I?

-New York. Such a beautiful city. Magical. All your dreams can come true. But you are here to help me fulfil my dream. So be a doll and don't fight back.

-Why would I listen to you?

-Last time I checked you were the one tied up.

-Let me scare him a little, a green hair guy said from the corner of the room.

-No need for that. We can be diplomatic. My name is Ravn. I am the leader of the treasure hunters. And the green gorilla there is Leedo. He is a sweetheart if you get to know him. Now, Jisung...

-Let me stop you right there, Jeongin said laughing. I am not Jisung. You got the wrong person. Stupid people.

-You're not?

-I am Jeongin. So you can return me and I won't send a bullet right between your eyes.

Ravn was amused by the boy.

-Ok, kid. You are Bang Chan's boyfriend, right? As expected. Listen... We can use you too. And you are not in the position to negotiate. If I were you, I would keep my mouth shut.

-Something you obviously can't do, Jeongin added. You talk too much.

Without knowing, Jeongin was pushing Ravn's buttons.

The latter raised on his feet and smiled in a devilish way.

He felt provoked and he was pissed by that.

-I promise you, kid... You will die by my hand if you keep that attitude.

-As if.

Ravn took a step back, then hit with his leg the chair, making Jeongin fall on the floor.

-Look how pretty you look on the floor. Stay there if you know what's good for you, he said before leaving the room.

-Don't do this, buddy... We can fix it.

-We can't, hyung... I'm sorry! Hyunjin said dragging Minho closer for the blade to cut right through his stomach.

Minho gasped in pain, his head resting on Hyunjin's shoulder.

-I'm sorry! he cried, holding Minho closer.

-You're hurting me...

-This was the only way, Hyunjin said before taking out the knife.

Minho fell on the ground, a puddle of blood forming around him.

-What did you do?

Hyunjin turned around and saw Jisung.

-Min...Minho! he tried to run to him, but Hyunjin held him.

Jisung tried to jerk off his grip, eyes filling with tears as he was watching his loved one dying in front of him.

-Let me go, you killer! You killed him! You killed him! You...you killed him, he bawled overcame by the pain.

His chest was tightening, making it harder to breathe. He was clenching his jaw, his eyes shut, while his tears were washing off his face.

-My Minho... You killed my Minho...

At this point, he was mourning.

Hyunjin tried to hold Jisung away from the body, but his hands were trembling.

-What did I ever do to you?

-He was the traitor... I had to...

-He died for nothing. It wasn't him! How do you know it was him? Huh? Jisung yelled at Hyunjin. Maybe it's you. Maybe it's me. That doesn't give you the right to take his life.

Then Hyunjin woke up.

He was confused, scared and trembling.

He looked around and saw the fear in everyone's eyes. The plane was shaking.

He looked to the right and saw Jisung next to Minho. He sighed in relief knowing it was all a dream.

-What was that? Seungmin asked Yunho after hearing a bang on top of the plane.

-Someone just landed on it.

-What the-

-One of you needs to go there and get him out. Any volunteers?

They all looked at each other, gulping in fear.

-I go! Felix finally said.

-What? No! Hyunjin grabbed his hand.

-I can do this! I am the stunt.

-If you fall, it's over.

-Yeah, that's the rule I went by all my life.

Felix took a cable and buckled up a harness to make sure he won't fall.

Then he opened the door and looked up to see a figure.

He climbed there and met with three guys and a helicopter surrounding their plane.

-This should be fun, another voice said from behind Felix.

-Hyunjin? Why?

-I'm your backup. Let's beat some asses, baby!
