Chapter 8

      Jisoo sighed and groaned over and over again as he talked to Wonwoo about his day. Although he didn't want to at first, in the end he ended up ranting about all the problems he had faced. And after much one sided talking, Wonwoo finally decided to butt in.

   "Sorry for interrupting you but it's seems like it's around time we get going. The night shift employees are about to arrive"

   Jisoo held his nape bashfully. "Sorry, I got a little too carried away"

   "It's fine" Wonwoo said with a chuckle. "At least you got to let yourself cool down a little"

   "Yeah," He smiled. "Thank you for listening"

   At this, the other patted his back. "Don't worry too much about it hyung. I assure you, everything will get better soon"

   As both boys parted ways and said goodbye to each other, Wonwoo glanced over and over at the older until he could only see his silhouette slowly fade away. And once it was gone, he sighed in annoyance.

   "Seriously, how much trouble can you be?!"

   "Hello to you too, I'm fine thank you for asking" Jeonghan said as he came out of the veil like shadows with a grin. At this, Wonwoo chuckled and started to walk with Jeonghan now by his side.

   "I thought you would be at home. Did you wait for me?"

   "In your dreams"

   "Must've been a nightmare then" Both boys chuckled.

   "In all seriousness though" Wonwoo said as he narrowed his eyes. "You need to leave the poor students at your high school alone"

   "Oh? And how did you know I was not doing such things?"

   "A birdie told me"

   Jeonghan tsked. "You say that like if you aren't trouble yourself"

   "But I, unlike you, don't get into meaningless fights. Besides, did you only came here to annoy me or what?"

   At this, the older stopped in his tracks and looked at the younger with a serious expression. "You know what I want"

   In an instant, Wonwoo stopped walking and arched an eyebrow. "Who got on your nerves? You usually only come to me for information when you have a fight with other gangs"

   Jeonghan smiled. "Look, the guy's called Hong Jisoo. He is, apparently, new around the block. Apart from that, I know nothing about him"

   "And why do you want to even know about someone like him?"

   "He did something that can't probably be seen as much but somehow lit a flame in me. Probably because I'm getting tired of being looked down upon"

   Wonwoo chuckled jokingly. He knew every well what had happened and couldn't help but laugh. As old as the other may be, Wonwoo knows Jeonghan could get annoyed and nag until sunrise about anything.

   "And you think that ruining his life will get you on the spotlight with the other gangs?"

   Jeonghan shrugged. "I just felt something about him, ok? He looked so confident when he talked back to Mingyu and slapped him in the face"

   Although Wonwoo already knew about this he couldn't help but laugh. He really couldn't imagine Mingyu being slapped by someone shorter than him, or even touch him as a matter of fact. The man was known to be a beast when it came to street fights, so he didn't really judge Jeonghan for holding a grudge. The boy was one of his unique chest pieces after all, and he himself knew that.

   "It's not funny you know" Jeonghan hissed.

   "I'll see what I can do to find out about the guy. In the meantime, try to learn something about him yourself. You know that this process usually takes a long time"

   "I know, I know" He grinned. "I too have your payment ready"

   Wonwoo arched an eyebrow and looked at the older. "Don't tell me you did something" He groaned. "Did he even agree? I don't want you to force him into something he doesn't want to do"

   "Luckily he did" Jeonghan said with a chuckle. "He said he'll text you for more details. Oh and don't focus too much on the red mark, if it's still there that is. Although I don't think you'll be able to do that with how nervous you'll be"

   At this, Wonwoo blushed a scarlet red causing Jeonghan to chuckle.

   "It was an honor to make a deal with you once again Wonwoo" He grinned. "A pleasure indeed"

   And with that, Jeonghan disappeared into the night.
