aye-aye864 mentioned this, so voila

Taeyong came down the basement stairs with a confused look on his face, just to see everyone was already gathered as if they were waiting for something. Chances were it wasn't him by the way they sighed when they saw it was him.

"Johnny, why'd your mom show up at my Dad's house and tell me to get over here?"

"No idea. We think she went to go kidnap Mark even though it's not our day."

"Did someone do something bad enough for her to call a meeting?" Taeil asked, followed immediately by him groaning. "Is this about that demon you guys think is in the clock? Because rechargeable batteries don't last as long and that's why they keep dying."

"There is for sure a demon in that clock. I swear it smiled when I burned the pancake I was trying to make and Sungchan had to save me." Shotaro commented, completely serious. He didn't know how that clock smiled, but he swore it did.

"Great, now Taro believes it's haunted too."

"Not haunted, possessed. There's a difference." Xiaojun butted in, Renjun giving him an appreciative nod.

"Oh like how there's a difference between murder and sacrifice?" Taeil asked, both Xiaojun and Renjun innocently nodding.

"How many times are we going to bring up the night Renjun almost sacrificed Xiaojun?" Ten groaned.

"I don't know man, that was a wacked up night." Jaehyun added.

Chenle bobbed his head up and down, "Wacked."

"Oh! Is this because Renjun and YangYang got into a fight?" Jaemin piped up, the entire 00 line now glaring at him for mentioning it.

"You did what?" Kun asked slowly, Yuta putting his hand on his shoulder.

"I bet they had a good reason. Plus we never noticed so that means they kicked butt."

Yuta gave the two of them a thumbs up behind Kun's back, nodding in approval.

"Okay, first of all, I didn't get into a fight. That was all Renjun," YangYang started. "Second, no one got hurt. Sadly. Third, he insulted Hendery."

"I don't even go to that school!"

Jungwoo wrapped Hendery in his arms as if he was protecting him from whoever insulted him. Even though Renjun had taken care of that.

"Let's be honest, almost everyone knows who you are." Renjun casually mentioned, making a quick motion towards his eye.

"It's totally fine, though. We appreciate you." WinWin reassured him.

Mrs. Suh entering the basement with Mark caught their attention. She looked like she was ready to go boxing, but minus the gloves. It was mainly the vibe she was giving off if anything.

"Mark~"

"Jungwoo~"

Jungwoo beckoned Mark over, tucking him under his arm while still protecting Hendery with his hug.

Mrs. Suh clapped her hands, bringing the attention back to her. "Cute. Alright my lovely kiddos and Johnny, it has been pointed out that Renjun can't even break someone's nose, so we're learning how to fight today. Don't tell my husband."

"I don't think you should be encouraging fighting..." Doyoung mumbled.

"I'm not, I'm making sure you guys at least know the basics in case you need them. Plus, that kid insulted Hendery so if any of us see him, it's on sight."

"We see him everyday in class, though." YangYang muttered under his breath, Renjun just nodding.

Lucas jumped up from the bed he was sitting on, raising his fist in the air. "Let's do this!"

"Love the enthusiasm, Cas."

"Is any of this legal in a soccer game?" Sungchan asked, his hand raised slightly as if he was in school.

"Absolutely."

"Heck no."

Yuta glared at Haechan for trying to get Sungchan carded, but Jeno shrugged.

"Only if the ref doesn't see it."

"We're off topic. Is this why nothing gets done down here?" Mrs. Suh asked, looking at Jisung.

"We have to have a topic to be off topic."

Mrs. Suh managed to get them back on track after a couple of times, making everyone stand up and spread out. She put Hendery away from any hard surface, just in case he accidently punched a bed post thinking it was further than it really was.

They went over how to properly make a fist (without tucking the thumb because then it could break) and how to throw one, going over the different types of punches. It was also mentioned that the elbow was the hardest part of the body, and therefore the best to send into someone if the situation called for it.

All of this was of course accompanied by random screaming and no-contact sparing at any moment featuring Mark laughing until he fell to the floor.
