Please Don't Go • Bangjae [One Shot AU]

I.

"Who are you working for?"

The man in front of Yongguk just glared at him defiantly despite the advantage the other man had over him.  His hands and feet were bound with rope as he sat in the middle of a dark, dusty abandoned warehouse, far from where the gang operated.  Yongguk was frustrated and just needed answers, which the man, name that the leader couldn't care less about, obviously wasn't going to give up.

"I said, who are you working for?!"  Yongguk yelled again, holding a gun to the man's head to at least scare him a little, but he didn't budge. 

"You won't get anything out of me, Mr. Bang."  The man smiled, blood oozing from his mouth where he had been previously beaten.  Yongguk huffed and figured that this would be a lost cause.  He dropped his gun and turned to Jongup. 

"Do it." 

Jongup nodded and made his way towards the man, gun in hand. Yongguk walked away, a loud bang filling his ears as he exited the warehouse.

"So what are we gonna do about whoever the fuck is messing with us?"

Yongguk looked up at Himchan and stayed silent as he took another drag from his cigarette. They were currently in their headquarters, the sounds of drilling coming faintly from downstairs where it also posed as a repair shop.

"I don't know, but that bastard killed one of our own. And without Jinki, we're more open to attacks. We need another tech guy" 

Himchan pursed his lips, remembering their deceased gang member.  They weren't particularly close to him, but he did give them a leg up on rival gangs.  With him gone, they were vulnerable and needed someone else like him, and fast since there's likely more people coming for Matoki. 

"But where are we gonna find someone as good as him? Jinki was an expert on that computer of his." 

"We'll figure it out. Ask Daehyun, he's got connections.  You can oversee the potential candidates before they see me."  Yongguk said, sounding as if he was conducting job interviews.  Himchan nodded and left the room, shutting the door quietly behind him.  He trusted him to get the task done well, Himchan being his right-hand man and his closest friend. 

Matoki was a fairly notorious gang, though they weren't as violent as other groups and was much smaller.  He made sure that no one in his gang killed anyone without there being a valid reason, like someone murdering one of his own.  Yongguk himself has never killed anyone, not wanting to go down a road that he can't come back from.  Beaten someone to a pulp, yes, but ironically vowed to never take someone's life by his own hand. 

His gang was something special to him, and he cared about everyone in it.  He may not be close with everyone, but regarded them all as family. 

Yongguk took one last thoughtful drag of his cigarette and smashed it into his ash tray.  He had a lot of work to do.
