Wooyoung and San were driven back to the motel by Seonghwa who was kind enough to spend his free day with the new recruitments.

Out of all the members, Seonghwa was the easiest to get along with. Who could blame him he was a total magnet full of good looks, intelligence, and even friendliness which San and Wooyoung rarely saw from people.

"I'll wait outside the door for you guys." Seonghwa informed the guys as the opened the door to their room. It wasn't the prettiest thing in all of South Korea but it did serve them as a roof over their heads for many days.

"Thank you, Seonghwa. This shouldn't take long." San nodded as he took a garbage bag and started stuffing it clothes on the floor.

With a polite grin and nod, Seonghwa closed the door to give the others privacy. This was the first time San and Wooyoung had been left alone since agreeing to join the Disciples of Seoul.

"San, do you really plan on staying with those guys?"

San looked dumbfounded. He really hadn't thought about the pair's future in the gang. Or as criminals for that matter.

"I really don't know. I guess I just kept on pushing those thoughts away. I know it's not an ideal situation to be in but did you really think we could have kept on doing what we did without getting caught?"

San knew it was a crappy answer but it was the best he could give his partner. He knew that Wooyoung wasn't happy in their current, heck, Wooyoung might never be happy. It wasn't like they could go back in time.

"I'll make you a deal." San proposed as he set down his garbage bag.

"Go on, I'm listening."

"Let's give this a month. If we don't like it here then we can run away." San knew this proposal was the dumbest idea ever but maybe it would settle his partner down for the time being.

"Deal." Wooyoung grinned and picked up his own bag.

Overall, it didn't take long for the boys to finish up. Being criminals, they accepted a life of minimal luxuries to be able to have a clean getaway if ever caught in a tight position.

Seonghwa helped carry some of San and Wooyoung's belongings back to his car.

"Thanks for driving us back to the motel. I know you didn't have to do that." San said after a couple minutes of unbearable silence in the car.

"No problem," Seonghwa shrugged, "there wasn't much to do today. Plus I figured those other guys wouldn't want to do it."

San laughed, "I understand. You have been a group for a long time now you have to deal with two strangers."

"It's fine to be honest, we were all impressed at you two." Seonghwa confessed, he looked in the rear view mirror at Wooyoung who had been keeping quiet ever since leaving the hotel.

"How so?" Wooyoung raised an eyebrow, "Are we not to be taken seriously?"

"Not at all, A lot of people do things for their own interest. You might be criminals, like us, but you do it for some kind of good."

"We still kill. That isn't exactly to best was to show our humanitarian skills." Wooyoung rolled his eyes.

"I know you kill. I used to be a bartender before joining a gang. One day, I got out late and as I was walking out I witnessed a crime. A man was stabbing another man to death. I asked him if he was going to kill me too. He said no because he was killing this man because he caused harm. He told me he believed two harms could make a right. The harm done and the one he would commit to make up for it. I thought it was stupid but then I ended up joining his gang."

"Was it Hongjoong?" Wooyoung asked, as they made a stop at a red light.

"Yes," Seonghwa chuckled at the memory. "A lot of people think that we only cause harm and are a disruption to society but our mission is to do something our government isn't doing."

I'm finally on Christmas break, so I finally got around to writing. Lol.

This story has kind of had a slow beginning but it'll get better soon. I want it to be pretty long but I don't like how stretched out it is.
