"Shit, Felix ... Shit!"

The color drains from hyunjin's face as he looks down at felix, sliding his hand behind felix's head and lifting him into his arms.

"What are you doing here?"

"|-"

"What did I tell you?!" Hyunjin cut off felix "You were supposed to stay fucking put-!"

"Hyunjin, please... Let me go!" Hyunjin's face softens as felix cry out.

"Felix-"

"Who is this...?" Do-hyeok and seungmin appear behind hyunjin with thunderous glares, and felix's heart pounds in his chest as they close in on him.

"Found a snooper, have we?!" Seungmin lunges forward to grab felix's arm.

"Hands off!" Hyunjin said to seungmin before turning towards felix. "It's okay, Doc. I've got you"

Hyunjin pulls him close against his chest, wrapping an arm protectively around felix. The scent of hyunjin's woodsy cologne comforts him

"Hyunjin, who is this boy?!" Do-hyeok asked.

"He's the doctor from the hospital"

"What the fuck were you thinking?"

"He saved my life! I couldn't just leave him there, so I... brought him here"

"Know what I think?" Seungmin points his gun at felix with a demonic grin. "I say we blow his brains out"

The blood drains from his face just as Hyunjin drags felix behind him, forming a human shield

"Father... He saved my life. I trust him. Please spare him. Do this for me" He looks genuinely scared...

"Did he now...?"

"Ugh... You've gone soft, brother" Seungmin said. So this is hyunjin's brother! Felix wouldn't have guessed that - they look nothing alike!

"Tell me, if he's so trustworthy, why was he sneaking around?!" Hyunjin glances over his shoulder at felix before tightening his fists. Seungmin continues in a provocative tone.

"You almost died in that brawl earlier, and we just killed one of our own-"

"No, you killed one of our own!" Hyunjin cut off seungmin.

"I had to! Who knows how many of our people are betraying us?" Seungmin protest. "You should trust no one but family"

"Ain't that the truth. Seems to me you've forgotten that, hyunjin" Do-hyeok snaps right back after seungmin.

"This isn't hyunjin's fault!" Felix stood up to hyunjin's father

"Felix, don't-"

Do-hyeok raises his hand to cut his son off and gestures with his head for felix to come closer. "What isn't his fault, Gentleman?"

"I-I followed him. I-In the hospital. He didn't want to involve me, but I knew he was hurt, and I w-wanted to help"

"Hmm..."

"Well, I'd like to know why he was even in a hospital in the first place..." Seungmin spoke up "He knows the rules!"

"Oh yeah? I'd like to see you do nothing when you're bleeding from your fucking gut!" Hyunjin snaps.

"ENOUGH!" Do-hyeok folds his arms, then nods to seungmin, who cocks his gun. "I raised you better than this, son"

"Wait, Felix is family!"

"What?!" Seungmin questioned hyunjin.

"What do you mean?" Do-hyeok confusedly asks.

"He is family because....  Because we're getting married!"
