I think I died for a second.

Until we all followed the sound of the shot, watching it slam straight into the middle of Mr. Kim's forehead, letting him freeze for one second before his eyes rolled back and he flopped onto the floor.

Dark blood flowed out from the back of his head, pooling everything around his body. I looked over at the man holding the gun with a shaky hand before he cursed out, "Fuck! I meant to shoot you!" Then he pointed at Seungwoo.

My eyes widened and I quickly yelled, "Seungwoo run!" And after that, I grabbed Kookheon's hand and dashed out of the hideout. I could see the other boys following behind me, pointing their weapons at the men who followed us as well.

We all bolted down the stairway of the building, using every bit of strength we had to escape from those men. Once we reached the basement level, or the parking lot, we used this second to catch our breaths.

I turned over to see Seungwoo worriedly staring at me. He then blurted out, "Are you okay?"

I sighed in relief and nodded, "I'm fine. Thankfully." Then I turned over to spot Kookheon tiredly sitting on the ground, eye bags already visible. My eyes softened before I knelt down to sit next to him, "You okay?"

Kookheon breathed in and out and raked his sweaty hair back, "I'm just a little shocked, that's all."

I caressed his back up and down. Nobody said anything. I spotted Kookheon's fresh cuts on his face and worriedly looked at him, "Should we treat those?"

He turned to look at me and smiled lightly, "I'm all good. We should head out before they catch up to us and you know, kill us."

Everyone let out a slight chuckle before me and him stood up and we all walked out together. "So," Seungwoo started, "Where are we going?"

Jinhyuk smirked, "Barbecue?"

Everyone cheered. Yohan grinned, "It's 3am you hoe."

Jinhyuk shrugged, "Barbecue it is then."

The barbecue sizzled on the grill deliciously and we all stared at it with our mouths drooling. Junho was controlling the grilling and Seungyoun ordered a few drinks. "It's on me guys, in honor of our hideout being destroyed!" Seungyoun yelled out.

The boys all sadly looked at him. Seungyoun noticed this and scoffed, "Guys come on, we can build a new and better one. For now, at least we all have each other in one piece, okay? Now eat and drink up!"

The boys' faces lightened up and they all cheered to Seungyoun's glass. "See?" He said, "That's more like it."

I laughed and saw Seungwoo staring at me. "What?" I said to him.

"Nothing." He said while resting his chin on his hand, "Nothing at all."

I nodded and he suddenly threw his arms around me and nuzzled his head in my shoulder, "I'm so glad you're okay. That bitch is a psychopath."

I smiled and caressed his soft hair, "I'm glad you're okay too. I've never seen that side of you before."

He lifted his head up with a confused look, "What side?"

I gave him a knowing look, "You know what you did back there, that fighting angry side."

Seungwoo then let out a laugh and ruffled my hair, "Oh please, you've definitely seen that side of me."

Jinhyuk raised an eyebrow at the both of us. I widened my eyes and shook my head, "Oh no no it's not what you think!"

Yohan giggled, "Sure."
