there's a saying going around town saying that if you touch the boyfriends of seventeen, undoubtedly there will be a bullet to your head. no one in the non-mafia part of the city believed it until someone decided to fuck around.

"hey there pretty boy, you got something i like.. wanna.." the man approached from behind, gripping minghao's ass. it was clear he didn't see the shining phone in minghao's hands.
the phone displayed chinese characters in beaming white with the speaker button on— the other side being oddly quiet but minghao knew what it was.

minghao let the weird douchebag to enjoy his last moments— let him pin the chinese to the wall and place weird hickeys on his neck (which minghao hated) before the poor man's body was pushed off him.
minghao watched with trembling eyes as junhui landed quick punches before pulling out something shiny out of his pockets.
the gun glimmered in the moonlight before it was stained with blood after junhui had pulled the trigger.

bang.
and it was just the two once again.
minghao shaking underneath his skin as his heart beat boomed in his ears.

"why did you let him touch you minghao?" that wasn't the usual nickname of haohao or baobei he usually gets but minghao didn't mind it. he allowed the older to get at him even when he was shaking underneath it all.
"minghao, answer me." his back met the wall as junhui's fiery eyes met minghao's shaking eyes.

"i knew," minghao started, finally spilling out the secret he knew since day one. the droplet of water from the leaking water pipe nearby made a ripple and drop sound in the puddle it created.

"i knew you'd call me to track me— to make sure i was safe and that you'd kill anyone who touched me. i knew junhui— i know you're apart of seventeen— i know everything." minghao ended, his eyes forcefully shut as he didn't want to watch junhui's tall walls crumble.
the cause? his most kept secret exposed by his own boyfriend.

junhui wasn't one to fry but he wanted to once he saw the fat tears that rolled off his boyfriend's cheeks.
"hao.." the older moved closer, bringing his hands up to cup the younger's now tear stained face.

"i wanted to tell you.. i swear.. but i was so terrified if you would break up with me afterwards." junhui spoke, pressing their foreheads together. junhui's gun discarded on the rocky floor of the allay-way and minghao's arms hesitantly hugged the older back.

"i didn't want to lose you like how i lost my family when i came out.. seventeen are now my only family i have but i really want my future to be with you— to have a family of my own— and i promised to protect you hao.. i can't break it at all." junhui cried, letting his tears fall to minghao's cheeks as he hugged him close.

they both cried into each other arms before junhui's mafia leader decided to be a cockblocker; their lips leaning in but stopped after hearing the similar phone alarm.

the older chinese cursed in his native language— picking up the phone and answering with a very monotone voice, "junhui. here., what's. up. choi.?"
"heard what happened, bring your ass and minghao's here right now because jisoo is panicking like a chicken and jeonghan is nearly gonna cry himself if his poor little boy was raped."

"right, we'll be there." the call ended.

"oh my beautiful non-mafia child! i thought you were raped or even worse; killed!" jeonghan exclaimed, cupping minghao's face as he examined his face.
"i'm fine jeonghan, now stop touching my face because your boyfriend is glaring at me." minghao responded as junhui upon hearing that; glanced up to face the glaring seungcheol.

"stop glaring, your boyfriend isn't going anywhere cheol," junhui walked over and whispered, the aura surrounding the mafia leader slowly softening as jeonghan walked back after triple-checking on minghao and the constant whines from jisoo who complained that jeonghan was messing up his perfectly bandaged ribbons on minghao's waist (he got it from clumsy mingyu who accidentally made a scar on his arm, junhui hasn't forgave the younger for that).

junhui was the whipped member of a gang and minghao just happened to be the lover of junhui.
the things people do for love is crazy.
