Midnight Howl

Topaz

Blue topaz is associated with overcoming obstacles.

Kris threw his phone aside angrily as he got a text from Jongin. The male had sent a cheeky picture of him sitting next to a passed out Yixing, his tan hand resting on the Chinese male's upper thigh.

Jongin had that stupid smirk on his face. Kris picked up his phone and called the male.

"Hey boss man."

"Hands off, unless you want me to shoot it off"

There was chatter in the background before someone else answered for Jongin, "Hey, it's Baek. Sorry, Kai was just being an idiot as usual."

There was a faint shout of protest in the background but Baekhyun must've ignored him, "Anyway, we should be arriving in other twenty minutes. Is everything ready?"

Kris set a file down that he was holding in his hand, "Yea, Suho is doing the last of the touch ups in his room."

"Alright. I'll keep Kai in check."

Kris bit back a smile, "I knew I could always count on you Baek." With that he hung up.

He slumped in his office chair, rubbing his forehead as he tried to get himself organized.

As Kris was filing away the last of the scattered folders, the door slowly freaked open. One of the wolves who were sitting in the corner raised her head, growling softly before resting her muzzle on her paws.

"God, you've had those two for years and they still scare the shit out of me."

Kris looked up, "All done Junmyeon?"

The brown haired male nodded, flicking a loose curl off his face, "Yea. His room is all set." Junmyeon faltered, "But Boss..."

Kris looked up, unhappy with the hesitating tone of the later.

"I've heard chatter pick up underground....they are suspecting us for capturing the Blood Rose clan and handing them over to the cops."

Kris shrugged, "It's a name on the list Junmyeon."

Junmyeon sighed, "Kris. Some of our allies are pulling out. They don't want to be partnered with someone who rats out their own."

Kris slammed a file on the desk, looking murderously at Junmyeon, "First of all, the Blood Rose clan are not one of us. They've done terrible, terrible things and they ended up on my father's list." He paused, calming down a bit before sitting back in his chair, "Second of all, there is an easy solution. Deny we did anything and bring back that weapons trade with that one gang from Korea, the one that's pretty close with the Blood Rose clan. That should clear us up."

Junmyeon nodded and stood up, "Alright. I'll send Jongdae over."

Kris raised an finger, "You too. Jongdae gets a little trigger happy with all those guns."

Junmyeon bit back a smile, "Yea, we don't want a repeat of the Great 2012 incident."

Kris scowled, "One never talks about the Great 2012 incident."

"Oh you mean how Jongdae literally shot your pants of-"

"Out!"

Junmyeon cackled as he walked out of the office room. Kris shook his head in disbelief as he stood up. The once shy, small boy was now a confident man who wasn't afraid to fight for what he believes in.

Kris still remembers the day he first met Junmyeon. It was almost a decade ago, Kris must've been fifteen, almost sixteen. He was angry at his father. The older Wu had missed his birthday party.
