side quest.

calling

y/n sat on the floor of the playground floor, eating some candy she bought from the corner store when they made a pit stop. the gang began to open the duffle bags, finding a bunch of fentanyl patches. haru and suhyeon made a bunch of dumb accusations before y/n picked one of the patches up to the light and stared at it.

"that's not it, you dumbos. they have fentanyl in them." she scoffed, facepalming as she crushed the plastic packaging.

"she's right, fentanyl is a drug for pain relief. it can be insanely dangerous when it's misused.." kuja muttered, pushing up his glasses in thought and seriousness. haru and suhyeon looked up at y/n and kuja in shock at his statement.

"he's gotta be getting this from a doctor or something and selling it off to students..." y/n assumed. kuja claimed he didn't know these patches were still available and could be stronger.

y/n had a few old friends, especially from middle school. most she wasn't in touch with, but the ones she was in touch with she didn't choose to be. especially because they contacted her first, just like jaeha han. one of the most cockiest but attractive guys she's ever met in her whole life. he contacted her just a few hours ago to hang out in east gangbuk territory, of course he didn't know she was apart of suhyeons crew since she never told him and he never asked. they met up at a gaming cafe and had a small "friendly" chat until jaeha got a call.

"well well well, look who it is. the great seok kang called me, what's this about?" jaeha had a cocky smirk plastered on his face, focusing on his game with his phone in between his head and shoulder. once y/n heard seok kang mentioned, she took off her headphones and listened to the phone call. "heard what? not sure what you're talking bout', heh," jaeha chuckled a bit, grinning mischievously over the phone. "could it be suhyeon's stolen your precious goods?"

"excuse me? are you giving me an order? are you serious?" jaeha sat up a bit from his reclined gaming chair, his tone changing to be more serious as he frowned and his face became visibly angrier. "do you not realize your situation? you're the one that needs help right now, not me." jaeha snapped, his tone getting harsher with every word. y/n was still listening carefully, but unable to hear what seok was saying.

"in exchange for east gangbuk's help, give us some of south gangbuk's territory." jaeha's grin became bigger, his eyes turning into crescents. "don't act dumb, you heard me. i'm saying we should form a alliance, since it seems west gangbuk's too much for you to handle by yourself after all." jaeha lounged back in his chair again, crossing his legs and closing his eyes as if he completely forgot y/n was next to him.

"if you hand me your territory in the south east, i'll kick his ass for you." jaeha said. "fine? that's it? wow, you must be real pissed," he sat up, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket. "don't you know how i roll seok? i'm starting right now." jaeha grinned evilly, hanging up the phone on seok and getting out his chair.

"what do you think you're doing?" y/n stood in front of him, her arms crossed.

"i'm leaving, obviously." jaeha stared down at the girl with his eyebrow raised. y/n held out her hand with a 'hand it over' motion.

"you're gonna needa pay up first."

after paying for the gaming cafe fees, she rushed to follow jaeha and watch the fight between him and suhyeon. but it turns out, he wasn't going to fight suhyeon, but hajun. she watched jaeha fly in the air kick hajun in the head, as hajun flew and made a dent into the car behind him.

"suhyeon kim isn't here yet?" jaeha asked, his hands stuffed into his pants pockets as he spat on the ground.

"no." hajun blankly stated, facing the ground with his hands on his knees, still backed into the car. jaeha started to ramble on, until hajun looked up into jaehas eyes. "jaeha han,"

"shut your mouth and come light my cigarette." he held up his cigarette back to his mouth, glaring at the blond boy. jaeha grinned and glared back, "pretty cocky for someone who's about to get his ass handed to him." jaeha said, before commanding his underlings to get hajun.

"you see, i created this team with a specific purpose in mind," jaeha sat down onto someone's knocked out body, "to defeat the top
dog of each high school." jaeha said as he watched hajun throw punches to all three of jaehas workers.

"defeat the top dogs?," hajun scoffed while hitting one with a uppercut, "they're nowhere near good enough."

"you might be running your mouth now, but we'll see how you long you last against those three." y/n assumed by now that jaehas plan was to wear out hajun, so he could defeat him right after he was exhausted enough. she couldn't help him now, so she had to wait until hajun was getting lousy and visibly exhausted to jump in. hajun finally beat all three of the lackeys, but he was already starting to comply with jaehas plan. the red eyed boy grinned, attempting to get hajun to join east gangbuk high.

"i still need a light." hajun said, jaeha grinning in irritation.

"you son of a bitch." the action team began to start fighting hajun once more after gaining their energy.

she was about to jump in and help him until he suddenly got a random boost of energy, and started beating down the poor three boys. she was shocked at how fast he was, and how he started using a whole different technique. it was fascinating to her. but also confusing. how could he get energy this fast? was it magic? a miracle maybe? all she knows is he'll probably still have enough energy at the end to beat jaeha.

jaeha decided enough was enough and threw a kick to hajuns temple, throwing his head down. hajun was visibly stunned, holding the side of his head. y/n could tell he was getting dizzy by now, experiencing the same thing once before. getting hit in the temple usually knocks people out, no matter the person. jaeha continued to ramble and throw kicks at hajun, backing him up into a wall and slamming his foot across his face. y/n honestly did think jaeha would win, until before jaeha could land the finishing kick that hajun grabbed the blond's leg and landed a uppercut on him. jaeha and hajun were both on the ground, hajun laying with his head up and jaeha on a knee and wiping his face. "i can see that you're getting desperate, punching me in the chin like that."

"what, too embarassed to admit defeat before getting one good hit in?"

"i lost." hajun said.

"what?" jaeha questioned, rubbing his jaw.

"no excuses, i lost. but i won't lose this time," he said before looking off to the side. y/n followed his line of eyesight and sighed in relief. "i'll leave the rest to you suhyeon."

y/n inched out carefully from the shadows and sat next to hajun. he looked over at her curiously and she looked down at him laying down on the hard floor. "you must be tired huh?" she questioned, throwing her jacket on top of the black haired boy. "

"yeah. but i wanna see how this plays out."
