The Staggering Fall of Youth (sequel to SBA)

8 - I was there first

Minghao knocked on Minseok's door again. "MINSEOK OPEN UP-"

"Can you not yell at him," Junhui scolded him, pushing Minghao's arm away. "Being aggressive on him doesn't work."

About a week has passed since the incident where people infiltrated the stronghold again, and Minseok had yet to attend another meeting. As he had said over and over again, Minseok does not care about anyone there anymore, just the youngerlings and the two humans. Anyone else, he had cut off contact with.

Junhui used to get along with Minseok well, but unfortunately, Luhan had broken it off with Minseok, and since Luhan was Junhui's friend, that meant he couldn't talk to Minseok anymore out of loyalty.

Minghao, though, didn't give a fuck about anything. "MINSEOK!! CAN YOU COME DOWNSTAIRS WITH US-"

"Literally what did I just tell you-"

The door opened, revealing a half-asleep Minseok rubbing his eyes. "What are you guys doing up so early?" he mumbled, yawning.

He still had on pajamas and bedhead. "Did you just wake up?" Junhui asked him. "It's four pm-"

"Yes, I know my sleep schedule is wack, thank you for pointing it out," Minseok said. "What's going on?"

"Meeting," was all Minghao said, grabbing Minseok's wrist. "It's a new strategy-"

Minseok shook off Minghao's arm. "Have fun," he said, hand on the door ready to close it until Junhui stuck out his foot.

"You need to be present," Junhui added. "Jongdae and Kris said so."

"Yeah, I don't really care-"

"Minseok, please do this as a favor," Minghao pleaded with him. "Everything is just getting so hostile, Junhui and I are worried-"

"And you think I can calm them down?" Minseok asked, scoffing. "Have you not been present every time they fucking talk to me?"

"You're the only one capable of beating their ass," Junhui reminded him.

Minseok raised an eye. "Is that supposed to be a compelling argument?"

"Can you just tag along already?!" Minghao screamed, grabbing Minseok's arm and pulling him out of his room. "You're good at popping off at them and they need a lesson."

"Clearly, y'all haven't been taught a SINGLE lesson in your entire lives," Yifan yelled at everyone present. There were only fifteen of them there, since having everyone a chance to decide would ultimately lead to chaos.

Not that it matters anyways because there's already chaos going on.

"Pfft, you're the one who's been schooled for, what, half a century already?" Luhan taunted him. "Shut the fuck up, Kris."

"Can you guys SHUT UP!!!" Yixing interrupted them. "You guys need to stop acting like you're in the right, you're so close minded."

"I think kids these days would call you guys a..." Junhui snapped his fingers, trying to remember. "Oh, yeah, a boomer."

Jihoon sighed. "Can you guys hurry up and tell us what the plan is?"

"I would if someone stopped asking me questions every five seconds about what we are doing!!" Jongdae yelled. "Can I continue now, or are you guys going to continue fighting for dominance or some shit, do that in the bedroom if you want-"

Yoongi yawned and got up from his seat. "Well, I'm going to bed if you guys are going to act like this-"

"No, you sit down, idiot, and Luhan, Kris, stop arguing with each other, we're trying to save our lives here!" Jongdae yelled at them. He turned to look at Minseok who had been sitting quietly during the entire meeting. "Do you want to input some advice?"
