the riders (meanie) - HIATUS

Chapter 6

The week passed by without much happening for Wonwoo. He noticed that Minghao and Mingyu had gotten quite close in the short amount of time that they had been together. This somewhat rattled Wonwoo as Minghao was a tough cookie to crack, especially with people he hadn't known for long. Also, Minghao was supposed to be his best friend, not Mingyu's. 

It wasn't all bad though. Mingyu had also made a connection when they weren't with the rest of the gang, they would often geek out together over the latest hot anime. Wonwoo however was still extremely stressed. 

While it had been a week with Mingyu's presence, it was still a week with Jihoon gone. He was getting impatient. However, the leader was advised by both Seokmin and Jeonghan to not do anything rash until they had the right resources. 

"You," Wonwoo said. The chocolate haired boy looked up. "We're going for a ride, get ready in five minutes." He turned to the door, not looking at Mingyu's confused face as he proceeded to the garage. The touch ID gave a little bloop as Wonwoo got to his personal garage. He got out one of his larger bikes, taking a helmet off a metal rack as he wheeled it out. Upon hearing a door open, the black-haired man turned his head. 

'Damn' Wonwoo thought. 

It had seemed that Mingyu had gone out of his way to change before going out wherever they were going. He was wearing a loose blackshirt, which still somehow managed to show his toned torso, ripped blue jeans, with a black leather jacket hanging what seemed to be effortlessly off his shoulder. As the younger looked up at Wonwoo, smiling slightly, the latter found himself melting slightly on the inside. 

"So...." Mingyu started, causing the elder to snap out of his light trance. 

"Where are we headed?" 

"We're going to take a trip to see the Diamond Snakes." 

Mingyu tilted his head to the side, giving Wonwoo a questioning look, confusion in his dark brown orbs. 

"Joshua and Jun's gang." 

"Oh." 

"We need to pick up some supplies from them." 

Wonwoo turned back around to put his helmet on, Mingyu walking to the silver rack to pick up one of the elder's spares. 

"What exactly is it that they do then?" asked the younger. 

"Behind the scenes work mostly," Wonwoo replied, turning back around to face the other man. 

"They sell supplies mostly, weapons, drugs other things, but they're also quite strong." 

"Do they take sides in gang wars?"

 Wonwoo shook his head. 

"Only if they're paid really well. They're also known to be the smartest of all the gangs in Seoul. Excellent hackers, the whole lot of them." 

Mingyu nodded, seeming satisfied with Wonwoo's lengthy response. Wonwoo got on his bike, turning his head to gesture that the younger should also hop on. And so he did, swinging his legs over the leather seat, tying his arms around Wonwoo's waist. The bike roared to life as the black haired male turned on the ignition, making Mingyu jump slightly at the sudden action, causing him to squeeze Wonwoo a little bit tighter. 

Smiling at Mingyu's little jump, Wonwoo backed out of the driveway, entrusting that Seokmin would close the garage for him from upstairs. They sped through the busy streets, reaching the district in the inner city. Mingyu, Wonwoo noticed, had relaxed his grip slightly on the elder. They continued to ride, pigeons flying up in alarm as the boys sped past, a little trail of thick fume wafting up behind in their wake. 

Continuing like this for a while longer, they reached the very centre of Gangnam. Glass adorned buildings were the most prominent part of the bustling streets. Wonwoo pulled up in front of a semi-tall building, with around ten floors, with glass that seemed to be almost black. After park several minutes of Wonwoo struggling to fit into a snug space between two large cars, much to Mingyu's genuine amusement, the frustrated driver himself took off his helmet to look at the chuckling boy, fluffy black hair falling slightly over his eyes. 

"Your hair," Mingyu motioned towards Wonwoo's extremely poofy hair that seemed to be all over the place. 

Wonwoo just smiled softly at the boy beside him. He was just too cute. Once Mingyu had stopped laughing at Wonwoo's disastrous hair, the pair of them dusted their selves off and entered the black panelled building. They were greeted with a large hallway, with different coloured and shaped neon lights and signs. Wonwoo stopped smiling as they went through the door, still wanting to maintain his "cool tough guy" persona. Mingyu on the other hand was just looking around the vast hall in a sort of amazement. 

The black-haired man nodded confidently to a lone guard at the end of the corridor, his nametag reading 'Jay', who nodded and moved aside to reveal a bright pink door. They entered the room. It was filled with multiple computer and TV screens on the walls, brightening up the darkened room. Fuzzy furniture was scattered around the room, along with people sitting at desks, straining their eyes in the semi-darkness. 

Joshua was sitting at one of them, turning to greet the two visitors with a vague nod and a small smile. A skinny boy with brown hair, a similar colour to Mingyu's walked over to them from a hanging chair. 

"Well if it isn't Jeon Wonwoo, and, well who may you be?" the boy asked, giving the other brown-haired boy a deep, questioning look. 

"Kim Mingyu," replied the youngest of the three. 

"I see, I'm Wen Junhui." 

"Oh, Minghao's boyfriend right?" 

Wonwoo internally facepalmed at Mingyu's incredible subtlety, but smirked when he saw a bead of sweat, and a light blush on the Chinese male's cheeks. 

"Uh no, just friends," Jun said, narrowing his eyes at the puppy like boy. 

"I am aware that you are in need of our services and supplies, correct?" Jun asked, regaining the strength in his voice. 

Wonwoo nodded. 

"It's going to cost you. A lot." 

Wonwoo sighed but nodded again. 

Eyes lighting up with a sudden spark of mischief, Junhui clapped his hands together. The sudden noise and gesture made Wonwoo jump slightly, feeling the hairs on the back of his arms raise slightly. 

"Follow me you two," and with that, Junhui's slim figure exited the room.
