Sunoo had always been their gentle, nurturing sunshine. His bright smiles, soft touches, and tender care made it impossible for his lovers to imagine him as anything other than the sweet soul they all adored. But one night, their perfect image of him shattered-and left them in awe of his unthinkable duality.
It all began when Jake and Heeseung stumbled across Sunoo in the middle of what looked like a gang confrontation. They had gone out to pick up snacks, only to find Sunoo standing calmly amidst a group of armed men.
"He can't be serious," Heeseung muttered, frozen in shock as they hid behind a wall.
Jake was equally stunned. "He's alone! We need to-"
Before they could intervene, Sunoo raised his hand, silencing the group with an air of authority neither of them had seen before.
"You've got three seconds to put those guns down," Sunoo said, his voice steady and cold.
The men didn't listen, rushing at him instead. What happened next was a blur of precise movements. Sunoo disarmed one man with a swift twist of his wrist, used the gun to take out another's weapon, and incapacitated the rest with calculated efficiency. It was brutal, elegant, and terrifying. The last man whimpered on the ground, pleading for mercy.
"Tell your boss," Sunoo said, crouching low to meet the man's eyes, "that Sunoo Kim doesn't tolerate betrayal."
By the time Heeseung and Jake dragged their stunned selves back home, the others were already waiting.
"What's with those faces?" Jungwon asked, raising an eyebrow.
Jake opened his mouth to answer, but Heeseung cut him off. "Sunoo. Is. A. Mafia boss."
The room fell silent before breaking into disbelieving chaos.
"What?! No way!" Niki yelled.
"You're joking," Sunghoon said, though his furrowed brows betrayed his unease.
"He was... terrifying," Jake said, still wide-eyed. "Like a completely different person."
"That's ridiculous," Sunghoon scoffed. "Sunoo can't even kill a spider without flinching."
"Do I even want to know what's happening here?" Sunoo's voice cut through the tension as he entered the room, looking as serene as ever.
All heads snapped toward him.
"Sunoo!" Jungwon said, jumping to his feet. "Are you a mafia boss?"
Sunoo blinked at the question, his expression unchanging. "Yes."
The bluntness of his answer sent everyone into chaos.
Despite Sunoo's reluctance, his lovers insisted on seeing his base. After days of pleading, they finally wore him down. He agreed to give them a brief tour, but only because he wanted to reassure them that they had nothing to worry about.
The base was a masterpiece of organization and power. Guards lined the halls, high-tech equipment buzzed quietly, and every corner exuded an air of controlled danger.
"I still can't believe this is real," Jungwon muttered as they passed by a training area.
"You've been hiding this from us the whole time?" Jay asked, shaking his head in disbelief.
"I didn't think it was necessary for you to know," Sunoo replied nonchalantly, his tone making it clear he still didn't.
Niki's eyes lit up when they entered the weapons room. "Hyung, you have to let me join! Look at these guns!" He picked up one of the smaller firearms, grinning like a kid in a candy store.
