I have to say, I agree with Jun that he's hot. Other than that, I'm not impressed.
Jun and the new Chinese guy scared the crap out of our sleepless and tired asses. We just survived the car chase and now we have to face a guy who doesn't seem to be bothered by guns.
After the little introduction, Jun went straight to the back room and brought out his precious revolver. He told us before that he barely uses it, only during emergencies.
So, this is an emergency for him.
"Who the hell suggested to meet up here in Jun's restaurant?!" I shouted to our friends hiding under the next table.
"It was Hoshi's idea!" Chan snitched.
"Wait! How can I have an idea that this is going to happen?!"
If Hoshi didn't speak, I wouldn't notice that he's right behind me.
"Hoshi, what's that smell?"
"Oh, my new perfume. Is it bad?"
"No, just, new. It's good."
"Yeah yeah. It's sports something scent."
Oh. Why are we talking about it now? We should be thinking of a way to get out of this mess.
"You, two mafia dudes!"
"What now?!" Seungkwan turned to me.
"You better help us. That dude isn't part of the mafia, right?"
"He's The8, an independent fixer. He's hired by the bosses when it's about something unrelated to mafia business. We will help you, don't worry. We also don't want to die. That guy's a danger." Vernon explained.
We all peeked behind our tables and saw how skillful these people are. Jun's 6 shots are all precise, but The8 shields himself and deflects each bullets. Jun also reloads his revolver in a blink of an eye.
I looked around at all the broken glasses and display. I can imagine and hear the rants of the server later while cleaning the debris and shards. Saying how much will all this cost.
We can hear it hopefully when we get out of here alive. We need to leave here alive, I still have business with Joshua.
Wait.
Where the hell is Joshua?!
"Joshua!!!" I looked at the tables on my left and right but he isn't there.
"Shut it, Jeonghan! I am trying to hide him then there you are shouting his name!!" Jun replied.
"Oh. Sorry! Wait, I thought The8 wants to kill you? So-"
"No!!"
I'm startled at the last shout and saw Chan taken as hostage by The8.
"Shitake!" I get out of the table and pointed my gun at him. Everyone's doing the same, except for the hidden Joshua.
"Ah. Lovely." The8 touched Chan's throat using his little blade.
"Bring him down. He isn't worth a dime." Jun said.
"I'm not what?!" Chan hustled in The8's arms upon hearing it.
"Yeah, he isn't."
"Ahh come on. I'm priceless!"
"He isn't worth it, but his step brother surely is. Come out now, little prince~"
Is he calling Joshua? I thought this man ain't a mafia?
"Who are you working for now, The8?" Vernon calmly asked while clicking his gun.
"Jackpot! Thanks for bringing me here, Jun."
"AAHHHH!" Jun lowered his gun to throw a tantrum. "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS HERE IN MY RESTAURANT?"
"We have no place to go.." Hoshi said.
"Argh! Then why did you bring a mafia capo?!"
"Eh, you know about us?" Seungkwan raised his brows.
"Okay okay kids." The8 showed again his blade on Chan's throat. "So, give me the jasmine and that prince. For my incentive, I'll take this capo's head."
"No." Seungkwan went in front of Vernon.
If The8's looking for the jasmine, is he working for
"Yo, hot Chinese man!" I called and he turned "Are you working for Nico?"
"Yeah."
Truth. Well, that was easy.
"Don't you recognize that capo?" The8 turned again to Jun.
"I do."
"Are you not going to do something? That's the guy who destroyed our Rose."
"Yes. I know. This capo right here is the one who helped the Quartz in their battle with the Rose." Jun glared at Vernon.
But weirdly, The8's and Jun's emotions are not hatred towards Vernon. I can sense, gratitude.
"Well, that's mafia for you. We won't apologize for destroying your weak Rose!" Seungkwan fired without second thoughts.
Wow, this guy is nuts.
He easily dodged the bullets from Seungkwan using the sole of his shoes while swinging Chan left and right, who's screaming "waaaah". Are his shoe heels made of steel or what?
I also took this opportunity to sneak behind him. While he ran away, I hid behind the layering tables and arrived at his back. I aimed for the arm that he uses to hold Chan but he noticed me and kicked my hand.
The gun flew but I managed to catch it, at the cost of my balance. I stumbled and my face almost hit the ground.
Jun abandoned his revolver and charged at The8. They threw punches and kicks mid air, while Chan screaming at The8's arm.
Seokmin silently aimed for The8's arm but he jumped backwards, which almost hit Jun.
Again, this guy's a bad news.
The8 stopped when he was hit with a chair on the back of his head. He turned and it was Vernon who threw it.
"I'll deal with you later, boss Hansol."
At those words, Vernon threw another chair in The8's face, in that case, in Chan's face as well. When The8 punched the chair away, Vernon's already in front of him with a gun on his face. He fired it but The8, together with screaming Chan, slid under Vernon's feet and kicked his back.
At The8's landing place is where I was located. I took it to fire at him again but he noticed me first and kicked my gun again. This time, he caught it and aimed to my face.
"Bye, hunter."
"No!!!" Chan struggled.
The8 fired the gun.
Though I'm still alive.
