"Yeosang, catch." Wooyoung threw popcorn, aiming at the older's mouth without any further warning which obviously ended up in another piece of popcorn being scattered around the floor.

He laughed at the failure almost knocking Minho's teeth out in the process. Minho leaned his head further away from the male who was curled up in his arms, loving the comfort of it.

"He's really cute." Felix muttered with a fond smile from next to Minho while he brushed though his hair.

The older brother lifted his head so he could look at him and smiled in adoration. "You both are."

"Oh hush," Felix rolled his eyes and slapped (more like tapped) his forehead playfully. Their little banter was cut off by Yunho and Taemin who called the Australian over, the younger immediately complying once he spotted shot glasses in their hands.

"You won't drink?" Felix raised his brows in question at Yunho who shook his head while poring the two a drink. "Mingi doesn't like me drinking on the painkillers and I honestly think the same."

"Oh.. sorry I forgot. What happened to you anyways?" He asked curiously while Taemin downed the shot, stretching his arm towards Yunho for more, who absentmindedly poured him.

"Some trouble at the job, it's just a scratch but it hurts like a bitch." He shrugged it off and thankfully they moved on with the conversation as well as drinking.

Yunho silently thanked himself for his amazing lying skills. There were troubles at the job, but the scratch was a bullet to his side, thankfully it didn't hit any organs and seemed to be healing up without complications.

Aside from the obvious struggles, it brought a good thing or two into his life as well. Mingi was with him at the job that day and Yunho swore he would never get it out his mind.

a/n flashback coming!

"Alright, I come first, I do the talking. You stay behind me and check if something suspicious is going on." Mingi secures the bulletproof jacked around his torso, throwing a jacket over it to not be so obvious, plus it was quite freezing in the warehouse they were meeting at.

Yunho chuckled at this and subtly shook his head, running his right hand through his hair. "It's just a simple business, lemon head, I do this on every two-days-a-week bases."

"I don't care. Just do as I say and.. be careful." His voice dropped at the last part of the sentence causing Yunho's lips to stretch into a big smile. "Aww, you care about me!"

"I couldn't care less about you, it's just that Seonghwa hyung wouldn't forgive me if anything happened to you." He rolled his eyes at the older's teasing and looked down to try and play it cool while his cheeks caught a slight shade of pink.

Yunho snickered. "Sure, keep telling yourself that."

"We should go." Mingi muttered and grabbed his things from the passengers seat in their car by which they were getting ready.

Thankfully, the older didn't utter another pushy remark during their way to the warehouse or the first minutes of the deal.

Everything seemed to be going just fine. Mingi did the talking just as they previously established while Yunho stood close behind him, eyeing the other party for any suspicious actions.

Which he to his dismay found right when Mingi's hand met the handle of the money filled suitcase to check it for scam and a sound of a shot being fired resonated through the warehouse, awakening havoc and many more following.
