Defiance [Monstax Jooheon XReader]

Don't Undermine Me

[Jooheon's POV]

The air was warmer than expected, which made him glad. Not that he showed it. Jooheon had thought about what it'd say if someone hired a Mafia leader, and 'Pretend to be cold and cool' was definitely in the top of mandatory requirements. Maybe he was cold and cool, but in reality, he simply saw it as being resolute and determined.

"COME ON JOOHEON!" Minhyuk yelled from inside the car, impatient.

"Do you -have- to yell?" Kihyun frowned his nose, sitting in the back seat.

"It's okay Kihyun, no need to argue both of you." Shownu smiled, speaking calmly, bringing the tension down a bit. Jooheon snapped out of his trance and entered the car, still being determined about driving it himself. Others had said he should get a driver, but despite the luxury of it, he could never put his life in another's hands like that.

"Right. Questions?" Jooheon said, pulling the car out of the driveway.

"Do we really need to-.." Shownu began but was silenced by Minhyuk who leaned back over the seat and stared, frowning, "I'll stay in the back, but I disapprove."

"Look Shownu, let us deal with the matter and you come in and aid us with your medicine stuff should it be needed." Minhyuk then replaced the frown with a friendly smile.

"The man has been too loud as of recently, trying to push our business aside and start his own by stealing products from us and reselling, hoping his promise to blackmail us will keep him safe," Jooheon explained, catching the attention of the others.

"So what are we going to do? Wipe him off the board?" Kihyun asked curiously.

"We'll teach him a lesson." Jooheon looked disgruntled, but as soon as his grim expression came it vanished to a sly one. "Oh and, don't leave any traces this time around, we know what happened last time."

"Says you!" Minhyuk chuckled, then leaned back in the seat, and they grew silent as they approached the playground. Hopping out, they stood back at the gathering of trees. Jooheon took up a cigarette and lit it, not taking any deep breaths.

"Thought you said you'd stop that." Shownu frowned, plucking the cigarette from Jooheon's grasp. "It'll kill you faster than your enemies."

"Relaxes my nerves." Jooheon glared as Shownu stomped the cigarette into the ground, then picked it up, not looking to leave any traces. Seconds later, a hooded man entered the playground, jittering. Jooheon glanced at Minhyuk and nodded, who vanished away. Perks of having an ex-military agent on the team, he was an expert. Shownu remained at the back, holding a subtle bag in his hands, ready to act upon injury. Jooheon and Kihyun approached the hooded man.

"Evening Seo-jung," Jooheon looked down upon the man who glared back. "Seems you've caused us quite the hiccup here."

"Are you here to tell me you're backing off my territory?" Seo-jung spat at the ground, holding out a knife, "Watch it, I'm armed, if you try anything funny." Jooheon held up both of his hands, motioning Kihyun to do the same.

"Unarmed, just here to talk. Perhaps we can settle a deal?" Jooheon smiled subtly.

"Y-yeah, deal. Out with it." Seo-jung looked over at Shownu who awkwardly waved, not being too used to the whole mafia scene. The second the man looked over at Shownu, a knife was pushed against his throat and a sting in his back instinctively made him whine. Kihyun had snuck up from behind without making so much as a sound and now held the drug-dealer in a firm grasp.

"The deal, Seo-jung, is that you're going to end your business and run this city. If I so ever hear your name again, I will make sure your organs are ready to be donated to someone who'll need them more than you." Jooheon said with a great calm, yet looked menacing enough to send shivers down any enemy.

"You monster! How dare you? What have you done to me?!" Seo-jung looked like he was about to faint at any minute.

"Next time, we will kill you, Seo-jung. Don't come back. This is mercy." Jooheon sighed, taking up a new cigarette and lightening it. Jooheon watched as the man fell down on his knees with a sigh, wishing that things hadn't come to this, it took too much of his time when people didn't obey. Seconds later, Jooheon and Kihyun left Seo-jung and Minhyuk, returning to Shownu who once more plucked the cigarette out of Jooheon's lips, crushing it against his feet.

"Let's return, Minhyuk will come soon." Jooheon explained, leading them back to the car.
