CALAMITY // jookyun

"Jooheon, we got a problem."

Jooheon looked up to find Minhyuk, one of his trusted gang members, holding out an envelope toward him.

Jooheon frowned and took the envelope in his hand. He could feel his blood boiling when he saw the content.

Minhyuk took a cautious step back upon seeing Jooheon in his angry state. It was never a great sight when the gang leader was ready to explode and the fact that Minhyuk was the closest to him at the moment really scared him to death.

"Is this the same person who was responsible for the other cases?" Jooheon asked in low growl, eyes still glued to the envelope.

"Y-yes sir," Minhyuk answered nervously.

Jooheon gripped the envelope firmly until it crumpled. "That little fucker dare to mess with me."

Jooheon threw the envelope on the table harshly, causing all its content to scatter.

Jooheon looked up at Minhyuk, a dirty smirk formed on his lips.

"Chase him down. I'll make sure to give him a nice present as a surprise."

Minhyuk gulped and nodded before running back to where he came from.

...................................................

It was no secret to the whole universe that Jooheon was the most scariest and powerful man ever existed. Some people looked up to him while others detested him with every veins in their bodies.

Jooheon had been involved in the underground work since he was a child, raised by powerful family with big influence. He had never questioned his upbringing or destiny. Even when his father, who was the leader of the gang at that moment, died by a deadly shot in his head, Jooheon only paid his last respect by his father's grave, emotionless.

Jooheon picked up where his father had left off and appointed himself to be the leader of the 20 000 gang members. All by the age of eighteen.

The name 'Lee Jooheon' had been feared since then and there were even people who worshipped him, too frightened to be on his bad side and ended up as lifeless bodies.

And now, four years later, Jooheon had successfully ran his underground business all over the world. Drugs, mostly, had brought a huge sum of wealth to his group. He was living life to the fullest.

That is, until the existence of a mysterious guy stirred the peaceful environment in Jooheon's territory.

...................................................

"So, is there any new information about that brat?"

Jooheon asked as he walked into the room and took his seat.

Four pairs of eyes followed his movement. The room is quiet and heavy with tension.

When Jooheon didn't receive any response, he slammed the table and stood up. The sound was loud and his actions sent chills to the four men standing in front of him. They quickly bowed their head and clenched their fist tightly behind them.

"We couldn't find out about his real identity or his whereabouts at the moment," one of the guys answered.

Jooheon walked straight to the guy and stood directly in front of him. He grabbed the guy's chin and gripped it tightly. The others could only keep their gaze down. Jooheon was too terrifying.

"Oh? so you are telling me that after two weeks of searching, you guys come out with nothing? Are you fucking kidding me?!" His voice echoed in their closed room. Jooheon tightened his grip until the poor guy's face turned red.

Suddenly, the door bursts open and Minhyuk came in rushly towards Jooheon.

"Jooheon! Wait, look, I found something." Minhyuk said in between uneven breaths. Jooheon's grip loosen and slowly fell from the guy's chin. He now paid full attention to Minhyuk, waiting for him to explain.

Minhyuk pushed Jooheon softly by his shoulders to make him sit and calm himself down. He didn't miss to sneak a glance to the other four guys to usher them to leave or they might be the victims of Jooheon's wrath. They stared at Minhyuk in wide eyes and bowed down gratefully before running out of the room without making a sound.

"Can you fucking elaborate now because I've got no time to waste here," Jooheon casted a glare in Minhyuk's direction.

Minhyuk only smiled cheekily and apologized before handing him some papers.

What a fucking sunshine, Jooheon thought.

Minhyuk had been by Jooheon's side for so long, and although Minhyuk was not directly involved with all the dirty work, killing for example, he still had been a great help to Jooheon as his information seeker. Other gang members didn't dare to question about the special treatment on Minhyuk. In fact, they all found comfort by Minhyuk's existence in the gang because he was not like the rest of them, cold and cruel. It made them feel more human.

Although Jooheon wouldn't admit it, Minhyuk was the closest of a friend, no, a family that Jooheon ever had.

Minhyuk constantly teased Jooheon about it, smiling cheekily at the supposedly cold leader of his but Jooheon would only kept an unamused face or simply ignored him completely.

"Don't flatter yourself. I only keep you here because of that smart brain of yours," Jooheon had voiced out one day.

That only caused Minhyuk to tease him further because to him, Jooheon was a small bunny in a bear costume. He still called him cute from time to time.

"Earth to Jooheon," Jooheon blinked away his thoughts and focused back on the ray of sunshine in front of him.

"Sorry, I got distracted. What were you saying again?" Minhyuk gave him a curious look but brushed it off in the end.

"As I was saying, that mysterious guy is so hard to track down. All information about him is protected and he somehow managed to shut people up from leaking anything related to him. But-" Minhyuk handed out the papers in his hand to Jooheon.

"He shouldn't look down on the most greatest and smartest guy in the world aka Lee Minhyuk," He said proudly.

Jooheon gave him a are-you-for-real look but he didn't say otherwise.

He looked through the printed papers and read every line, getting more eager as he read through everything. 

But one thing troubled Jooheon as he finished reading and put down the papers. "You claimed yourself to be the most greatest and smartest guy in the world but you can't find out his real name?" Jooheon said in mocked voice.

Minhyuk smiled nervously and scratch his neck, trying to act innocent. "That's confidential information."

"Not even a picture of his face?"

Minhyuk only shook his head.

Jooheon leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. A deep sigh left his mouth. "Fine, you can leave now. I'm tired. Tell everyone to not disturb me at all today."

Minhyuk let his eyes lingered on Jooheon for a while. "Okay, rest well." He said slowly before turning around and walked towards the door.

Jooheon didn't open his eyes until he heard the sound of the door being closed.

He crossed his arms on the table and rested his head in them.

I'm tired, so fucking tired.
