Chapter 8

When Seungcheol walked through the front door to their apartment after the job that night he felt so relieved. Though it did feel good since he saw Wonwoo pull up an article in the elevator on the way up about how the CEO was being carted off to prison for possibly endangering the public. There was a video attached to the article showing the man screaming and shouting and having a meltdown like a child when they don't get what they want.It made Seungcheol smile, he couldn't wait to show this to Jeonghan. The job was done, with some unexpected help from another gang and everyone was home with the appropriate group. Now, all that he wanted to do was go to bed with his two lovers.

"Why is it so quiet in here?" Jun asked after everyone walked through the door. When they pulled up out front of the building they had expected everyone who stayed home to be up waiting for them. It's what they normally do after all. "I don't know," Mingyu said. "Do you think that there's something wrong Hyung?" He asked Seungcheol. Looking around the apartment Seungcheol didn't see anything out of the ordinary that would give cause for something like that. Though with the luck he's been having recently that doesn't mean anything. "I don't think so, but it wouldn't hurt any of us to go and scope out the place." He said. "Be careful, go in pairs and whatever you do don't go anywhere alone." Everyone nodded and walked off in different directions. Before they could get very far, they ended up crashing into Seokmin and Jihoon.

"Hoonie!" Soonyoung shouted as he ran up and hugged his best friend. "What." Jihoon retorted. "We were so worried, it was dead silent when we got home." "Oh, sorry Hyung, but we're ok, I was in the office with Jihoon-Hyung and Shua-Hyung and Jeonghan-Hyung are in your guy's room, I think they're asleep." Seokmin said. Seungcheol nodded before breaking away from the group and going to check on his two lovers. He made sure to try and keep his footsteps quiet so he doesn't end up disturbing them if they are in fact asleep. Cracking open the door, he poked his head in to check out the room. He saw two bodies laying on the bed, both with their backs to him. He could tell by the outline of their bodies that the one closest to the door was Joshua, and the other one was Jeonghan. He went in and quietly shut the door behind. Walking around the bed he was getting ready to crawl in with his lovers when he noticed that Joshua was still awake.

"Seungcheol?" Joshua asked. And Seungcheol could tell that he was about half asleep. "I didn't hear you guys come in." "We just got back, Seokmin told me that you guys were back here and I wanted to check on you." Seungcheol said as he gently set down on the bed, and started playing with Jeonghan's hair. "How was it?" Joshua asked. "It was ok, we got the guy and the only mishap that we had was when Gyu'd friend was hurt." Seungcheol told him. Joshua hummed in response. "Jihoon was telling me about that, how is he?" Joshua asked. "Kwanie checked him out before we met up with his Hyungs, he just bruised his ankle from what he could see, other than that he was fine." Seungcheol said. "How long has Hannie been asleep?" "Oh, he's not asleep, he was freaking out so bad when he found out what happened that Jihoon had no choice but to sedate him." Joshua told him. "Well damn." "Yeah, he said that it got bad, and no matter how much he texted you guys it just seemed to make everything worse."

Seungcheol groaned at that. He was kicking himself, he should have known that Jeonghan would be freaking out over this. He had a feeling when they were texting that there was something going on. But he just pushed it aside so he could get home faster. "I should have known that something was wrong when we were texting." Seungcheol said. "Don't beat yourself up over this Cheol, you couldn't have known." Joshua told him. And he was right, Seungcheol knew that he was right, but that didn't make him feel any better. "I know that, but it still doesn't make me feel any better." Joshua reached his arm over Jeonghan to Seungcheol on the other side to caress his cheek. "Babe, you couldn't have known, one of the only people that is able to play you like that is Jeonghan, and you know that." Joshua told him. " I know Shua, I know, but I still can't help but to feel bad you know?" Seungcheol said. "I mean I'm supposed to protect the two of you along with everyone else and I can't even keep Hannie from freaking out, what kind of leader, what kind of lover am I then?" "Don't talk like that Seungcheol, you're a good leader and an even better lover." Shua told him. "I love you, Hannie loves you and so do though 10 kids out there, you have nothing to worry about."
