Seokjin

"Okay why did you want to meet again? It's been years"
Seokjin asked, sitting on the chair next to his long lost friend minjae.

"Yah! My best friend!"
Minjae yelled. He waved over to the bartender.
"Do you want a drink Seokjin? Get my friend a drink!"
Minjae yelled without even asking Seokjin.

"Umm okay."
Seokjin mumbled, watching as the bartender made his way over to there chairs.

"Umm What is that green thing over there?"
Seokjin pointed to some liquids.

"That is mint for the mojito"

"I guess I'll take that.."
Seokjin said, scratching the back of his neck.

While the bartender shook up Seokjins drink, Seokjin turned his body around to minjae.
"Okay Jae. What is this about? The last time we saw each other was the end of 8th grade.. and were adults now.."
Seokjin tried to get to the point.

"I know! It's been so long! But you see Seokjin, remember all that fun and trouble we had?"
Minjae, said, smiling widely.

"How could I forget? We almost got arrested 6 times"
Seokjin rolled his eyes.

"I know! But he cops never cought us!"
Minjae laughed, swirling his drink around.

The bartender slid over the drink to Seokjin. Seokjin cought the drink, taking a sip of his minty refreshment.

"What are you trying to say?"
Seokjin asked, a bit annoyed he was here.

"We should be in a gang again! Get in trouble! Have fun! And mostly, get the dough"
Minjae put his fingers together, wanting to sign about money.

"Look. I'm not going to get in trouble and gangs like that. We were young and dumb. I'm not going to do that again"
Seokjin took a sip of his drink, rolling his eyes again.

"Oh come on jin! Live a little!"
Minjae yelled, adding more achohal to his cocktail.

"Are you trying to get me drunk?"

Minjae shook his head.
"Oh come on jin! You know me better than that. We are best friends! And anyway, I heard you were struggling with money hmm?"

Seokjin was a bit confused on how minjae would've known that, because it is a private thing, but Seokjin just nodded.

"Look, just go on one gang fight okay? If you like it you could join. If you don't, you don't have to"
Minjae swallowed the last of his cocktail, pouring more into his own.
"So what do you say?"

Seokjin thought for a moment. Did he really want to get into that trouble and gang stuff he used to be in? It had been so long, but did he really want to do that again? Even after he swore he wouldn't get into that kind of trouble anymore?

"Look Jin. I know it's a big decision. But just listen, the guy you could if you want to, fight, had raped 4 high school girls, and bailed himself out of jail 3 times. Don't you want to give those girls justice? Just like you want to give-"

"Alright! I'll do it!"

Minjae smiled, knowing he'd get his gang buddy back.
"Good. Remember when you were the gang leader back in middle school? Lets just hope it didn't go down the drain"
Minjae joked, sipping his drink, as he eyed Seokjin.
