1 - At Sapphire Blue

A loud thud was heard, a group of suited men looking over a sat male. His bleach blond hair was pulled up by someone from behind, showing his bruised face, his eyes glaring at the man in front of him. "Yah... Hankyung-ah, I'm hurt. I trusted you like a brother... how could you jab a knife at my gut?" The man asked, a smug expression present as Hankyung was pushed to hold his head on his own.

The charming male simply stared at the male, squinting as he leaned as much as he could despite being tied up. "Yah, Yuan... want me to tell a secret?" He gave a grin, ignoring all the blood he tasted.

Yuan frowned as he went close. "You aren't handsome enough to be my brother..." he soon spat some of his blood at his face, smiling as he heard the minions of the guy stifle their laughter. Yuan cussed beneath his breath, grabbing his pistol and shooting the henchmen that was holding Hankyung, the latter simply moving aside, glancing at the dead body. "Aiyo... you need to call the insurance company. I think this guy has another mouth to feed."

Yuan gritted his teeth and soon pointed the pistol onto Hankyung's head, the latter looking nonchalant as it infuriated the former with how his confidence shone through. "Enough! Now, we gotta go... bye, bye, Hankyung-ah." Yuan put a finger on the trigger about to pull it when--shatter. Glass around the facility was broken.

Before Yuan could comprehend what was happening, Hankyung ushered himself to the front, whipping his head to shove Yuan back who now currently has a bloody nose. The other guards whipped their guns out to him when he simply stood there, staggering with a maniacal smirk. "Yah... if you shoot me, i don't think even your blood would be found by forensics." As he said, a gunshot was heard, numerous suited men entering.

"Drop your guns. You guys are outnumbered anyway." A suave voice started as they turned to see the two men, Hankyung smiling sweetly at them. "Kids~ why did you come? Are you here save me?!" He was excited as the two sighed, gesturing for their men to capture the other guards.

As the latter of the two came to Hankyung, he turned around, immediately being free as the male cut the rope. "I can't believe you were caught for a stupid thing." The charming male pouted as he faced him. "Yah, Hyuk-ah, It wasn't stupid, right Zhoumi?" "You were caught while having sex with Yuan's wife. I'd call it stupid." Zhoumi went close, sighing as Hankyung rolled his eyes, earning a nudge from Eunhyuk. "We need to report this to Shindong-hyung. I have some stuff to drop off." Eunhyuk moved off as the two followed.

As Eunhyuk entered a crowded mall, he went towards a familiar store, the two following him. Just as they enter the clothing store, the clerks look towards them with a smile. "May I help you, sir?" A female asked as he went through his breast pocket, fetching an ID as she smiled, soon gesturing to the changing rooms.

The three look amongst each other then around before going into the large changing room, shutting the door. "Had I not known you, I would've assumed you were having a threesome inside this Sapphire Blue store." A deep voice came as they turned to see a man, sitting crossed leg at the couch provided by the store.

Eunhyuk heaved a breath, Zhoumi fake gagging at the idea as Hankyung chuckled. "Kangin-hyung, don't make me imagine that." Zhoumi shivered as Hankyung smacked his head, moving towards the figure, sitting across. "Where, Donghee-hyung?" Eunhyuk looked around as he gestured to the mirror at the side, soon moving to open a secret passage as a larger man came out.

He looked around, frowning with disbelief. "Yah, I sent you out four hours ago. You know how late you are." He whined as the rest chuckled or grimaced. "Shindong-hyung, Hankyung went and did something remarkable again, of course it took so long for damage control." They sat lightly bantered as Shindong took the seat by Eunhyuk. "I kinda expected that hyung. You have a way with women." Hankyung smirked, earning an glare from Kangin who knew him well. "But, now to why are we even here." He looked at Eunhyuk who smiled.

Eunhyuk took a breather, standing up as he went up front to them like a student presentation. "Well. I went to find a new dealer--which definitely took forever---and I still found someone who knows his way around the market." He went and showed the screen of his phone, a cute male present. "Can I date him?" Zhoumi pointed as he was smacked on the head by Hankyung, Eunhyuk following in suit as they were dispersed by Kangin's intervention.

"So, this dude got a name?" Kangin asked as he gestured his head to the picture. "Essentially, he is Kim Kanghoon. Apparently he is loaded and decided to be a singer whilst operating this little science project." Eunhyuk soon put his phone away as the others thought about it.

"How's his business? Our deals go across our country's borders, can he do that?" "He does few deals outside, but he is a frequent seller to two of our other bidders." He added to Shindong's question, making him nod. "I like him. Let's make a deal." Eunhyuk gave an okay gesture before sitting down. "We need to fix this problem sooner or later. The next batch of orders will come by the end of this week--if we fail to supply it--it'll be a pain." Kangin crossed his arms as they knew how gruesome their job could be.

"Don't worry, hyung. Not like this was the first time one of our dealers had to run away. But now that reminds me, our old friend was spotted by one of us, so we should probably visit him." Shindong stood up, bidding them good luck on their way out, using the mirror's route, he entered a secluded area of the mall with numerous package dealers and couriers busy with orders.

He turned the first corner, men and women bowing to him as the closest to the door opened for him--showing a white painted hallway directly connected to the mall's emergency exit.

Entering the car nearby, he checked the driver first before speaking. "Shin Hotel." The driver nodded as they soon drove off, his eyes watching the figures and buildings flashing on and off their lights to draw attention, observing people's interactions--a line present on his lips as he reached an intersection--a little kid crossing the street with his parents, smiling gleefully as he hyperactivity moved around.

The silent ride came to an end when he was dropped off by a large hotel. "Wait by the parking lot." He ordered as the driver nodded, moving off as he went inside the building, people in different clothing's came about their day, filling the lounge. This is going to be a long day...
