gpyeongseok:

IT WAS purely ironic that he was throwing down cash that really wasn’t his to buy something that wasn’t really for him.  Even with the life they led now, he and his best friend lived like college students, eating cup noodles and prebaked dinners when they weren’t being treated out to dinner. But he was genuinely in a good mood and he knew, despite being from such a wealthy family, how it felt when you were just a little too short on cash. It didn’t help that most people got paid shitty wages as well and the guy looked young. So he decided to just be nice. If anything, the good deed might prompt his mom into sending him some more money anyway. “It’s no problem.” He said, waving his hand as he pushed the money towards the cashier. “I had a little extra cash and I wanted to do a good deed. It’s no big deal.”

yein still wasn’t sure how he was supposed to feel about this, and a part of him didn’t want to accept it because well.. if he accepted it then he owed him. if he didn’t, fuck, he probably look like an asshole, right? and yein didn’t want to paint himself in that way but what else could he do here? but he sighed, looking at the other male and the cash he put down and deciding he’d just need to run with it then and find the guy later and give him his cash back. yein just didn’t like knowing he owed someone something. “i’ll pay you back.” he muttered after a moment, sighing because it was times like these he just wished he had a job that paid well so he didn’t need to deal with this.

gpxhyuk:

as much as he didn’t like the outlaw bloods, there were two people he could tolerate from that gang—or in the case of yein, he was actually close to. it always caught him off-guard that he was close to someone almost a decade younger than him, and if he were to do a completely clinical analysis of himself, he’d have come up with quite alarming results. nevertheless, he wasn’t an ungrateful bastard who took people for granted. in any case, he was still close to yein and it worried him that he hasn’t see him since his twin had been kidnapped and the feathers incident in one of their gambling halls happened. but he was busy that day with his clinic—what with his rich clientele deciding that they should all book appointments at the same day—and he was ready to clock out after his last patient. when they were finally done, he had accompanied the old woman out to his secretary and talk about their next session (and had to let her down gently when she had, once again, tried to convince him to meet her daughter) when he saw yein by the waiting area. approaching the younger, there was a soft smile on his face before ruffling yein’s hair, just about to ask him to wait for him a bit so they could go get dinner—until he saw his face. “yein, what happened?”

when he saw hyuk come out, there was a small smile on his lips because he kind of forgot for a moment why he was here, and that his face was a little more fucked up than it should’ve been. but he watched silently as the elder came out and spoke to the woman he was with, before his attention turned to him. yein smiled at the hair ruffling a little more as well, letting himself settle with that for a moment before the inevitable happened and hyuk saw his face. he could feel that atmosphere change then too, knowing that this wasn’t exactly the best thing anyway but he needed to tell him. yein trusted hyuk. “your enforcer-- taemin, or whatever his name is.” he muttered after a moment, unease in his chest because he didn’t want this to go the wrong way anyway, but hyuk needed to know and it wasn’t like he would go and find seung and tell him what happened-- a bloody psycho. he couldn’t do that. “he thought i was following him, and he attacked me. i just asked if he was alright.”

gpjungho:

It was a cruel sort of irony that the only legitimate job he’d been able to get since joining the Wildlings was being a bartender. It was all Jungho had actual qualifications for but it didn’t make being in a bar every other night any less unpleasant. The job served as a good distraction at least, just as street racing for the Wildlings did. Everything was just a distraction in the end and tonight was proving to be quite a good one. Fights outside of bars weren’t a rare occurrence in this area but Jungho couldn’t help but find them funny every single time. Mostly because it was always people too young who had no clue what they were doing. “Yah, what a mess.” He muttered with a fond smile as he watched the hormonally driven chaos continue. Body leant tiredly against the back door as he makes the most of the cool evening air before his break ends.

yein was.. getting into a lot more fights recent, he supposed. but given his situation and the amount of people taunting him lately.. it was just fucking a lot of things up for for him and he was more angry than usual. and being someone that was a little good at controlling his temper, it wasn’t so great when it all finally unleashed. even worse when yein really was just trying to get away and back to his apartment, before being stopped by some drunken bastard from the nameless that decided to taunt him about both his sister and his gang. that was what prompted him into throwing the first punch.. not something he tried to do often anyway, but rather quickly it turned into a brawl and yein was just pissed off. soon enough though, the guy back off and yein was wiping blood off his mouth when he heard the comment just a little ways from him that caused him to turn. “he started it.”

[gpyein]

it had been a while since yein had seen hyuk, or more so since the outlaw bloods had been apparently raided and his sister had been kidnapped. he hadn’t seen him since then-- or many people for that matter. he wasn’t necessarily avoiding anyone either, just recovering and focusing on his job and nothing else, because he needed a distraction right now. with the hell going on internally with the gang, yein just needed to focus on other things-- at least until he finally figured out who it was that had decided to attack him some week or two ago now (still visibly healing from that anyway, if the marks and cuts were anything to go by). that was what was prompting him to walk into hyuk’s clinic and see him finally again. and he’d missed him too, so there was that he supposed, as well as the need to tell him what had happened given then yein wasn’t particularly fond of seung or going to find him instead. so either way, he sat and waited then, waiting for the elder. @gpxhyuk

gpyeongseok:

THE GYM was probably the third place one would be likely to find him if he wasn’t at his apartment or his hide out. He liked working a Kinsenthetic workout and aside from his morning jogs, he figured there was no better place to do it at than the gym. He grew quite fond of the owners at a small one near the subway station and he figured his jog to and from the Gym was a great warm up and cool down. Keeping in shape was a big thing for him, considering the copious amount of sports he did in high school. He wonders if it would make sense for him to join some recreational soccer team or maybe a lacrosse team.– Did they even have those here? He never realized how truly ignorant  he was over his home country until he finally stepped foot on it’s soil.

He stops into a convenience store, looking for some type of protein and something to drink. Ironically, he chooses three different types of Samgak Kimbap, and a liter of water before taking them up to the counter and waiting behind some stranger in front of him. However, it’s when they don’t have enough to cover the costs, that Yeong throws down the remaining amount with his usual smile before setting his food on the counter.

he was still littered in bruises from his fight with taemin-- at least he knew his name now. some were yellowing now, a gross colour, but the ones on his face a dark but fading blue and purple. and for the most part, he was doing his best to avoid having to deal with people right now when he didn’t need to. but today was just his luck to end up coming up short when he was trying to buy food for him and yeri tonight-- and fuck, he didn’t realise how short they were running now. it was bullshit considering he did his best to try and have enough saved at least on his end to get them enough, but he hadn’t been able to cheat in the halls recently. hadn’t been able to take other people’s cash so that he could afford his own life, and his sisters.

what yein doesn’t expect is for cash to be put down next to his own, when the enforcer was just going to put aside some items instead. and it has him looking up, frown on his face a little. he didn’t like owing people honestly.. and he didn’t have enough to pay him back-- “you don’t need to do that.”

🌹🎲 Minseok 🌹🎲: I really didn't mean to go off like that. Especially on you. But I don't you appreciate you acting like we half-assed this, didn't look at things from every angle- like we only want to pin it all on Seung because he's the easiest choice

🌹🎲 Minseok 🌹🎲: Are u really trying to act like I'm playing favorites rn?? As if you don't when it comes to Yein

🌹🎲 Minseok 🌹🎲: He might've saved you, and that's something I'll always be indebted to him for, but that doesn't mean he's innocent. How do you know he's not the one who ordered someone to kidnap in the first place?? He's a calculating killer.

🌹🎲 Minseok 🌹🎲: And I get it, a lot of us have killed before but at least we don't get our rocks off on it like he does

🌹🎲 Minseok 🌹🎲: Yein was worried sick about you, and I was too. I looked for you, Yeri-ah. And I'm really glad you're back, in one piece. I hate that you had to go through that. I know it was traumatic. Maybe I'm just paranoid for thinking he might be trying to pull some stockholm syndrome type of shit on you, but like I said. He's calculating.

🌹🎲 Minseok 🌹🎲: I was pissed when she cleared us out, I'll admit, and it put us out for a while. We had to work really hard to earn back what we lost, but we did eventually- because we're fucking good at what we do.

🌹🎲 Minseok 🌹🎲: If you want, Yeri, go ahead and bet all your chips on Seung. But don't say we didnt warn you

jiyoung 🔥: the nameless would have to be complete fucking idiots to be that obvious

jiyoung 🔥: but let's all just chill for a second. take a deep breath, count backwards from twenty, whatever the fuck you need to do

jiyoung 🔥: seung could be playing you though, yeri. i'm not saying he for sure is, but i wouldn't be surprised

jiyoung 🔥: the blood was real btw

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: If you looked at it from every angle you would've found me. Wouldn't you?

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: Yein was too stressed and you guys let him roam the streets and not eat for days? He collapsed as soon as he got there apparently.

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: Just admit that you guys were half assing it and you continue to do so now.

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: I'm only here for my twin, which I can fucking play favorites for considering everything I do is for him.

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: But fuck this gang. bc you don't understand how fucking tramaustic this is for me? don't act liek your pussy ass fucking gets it or that a sorry will fix what you fucking said.

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: i get that and i'm being careful but i'm saying we shouldn't just pin it on the obvious

✌ Yein: alright guys, calm the fuck down. and leave my sister alone.

✌ Yein: i get that seung is a fucking psychopath, and yes he could've been using her by saving her, but yeri's allowed her own opinion here too.

✌ Yein: i don't trust the nameless as much as the next guy, but at the point i don't fucking trust anyone. have you seen how much shit has happened since the incident at hyuk's??? i don't think this is a pact issue anymore.

✌ Yein: something is going on, and if you can't tell that then you're fucking dumb. we get attacked at the same time as the wildlings. someone plants EVIDENCE that it's these two gangs, and now there's fucked up shit with the snakes and the lost boys. nobody is fucking dumb enough to leave the evidence that it was their own fucking gang.

✌ Yein: so can we all just calm the fuck down, and leave my sister alone because she's already gone through enough shit. we both have, and don't fucking stress her out anymore or i swear to fucking god i won't hesitate in what i do next.

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: guys I know the nameless looks like they did it but...

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: I don't think Seung- sunbae would've saved me if he really did...

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: i think we should look at other groups? Like the snakes??

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: Maybe that's why the Lost Boys attacked them because they framed the nameless and they're like.. allies, right??

✨🌸 Yeri ✨🌸: i get being angry.. IM angry.. but I don't think we should bet all of our money on one card..

✌ Yein: still doesn't mean we should trust then though

✌ Yein: and i still don't trust seung. what if he only saved you because he knew where you were and it was a way to try and clear their tracks???

✌ Yein: it doesn't make sense

Taemin’s thoughts were a mess and all he knew was destroy.  Taemin continued to land punches wherever he could. He watched the other man guard his face and he slammed into him, causing them both to fall onto the ground. He sat on his chest and continued to rain punches down on him, aiming right for his face.

He was getting tired but he knew that if he let the other man know, it would be dangerous. He grabbed him by his collar and lifted him up. “Why can’t you just leave me the fuck alone?! I’ve never been the bad guy.” He hit him one more time and climbed off of him. He pulled at his hair and hit himself in the head. “Fuck, fuck, this is bad. I…this is bad.” He’d noticed the other man’s tattoo. If anyone found out that Taemin was the one who’d fought with him, even though it was self defense…in Taemin’s head. This guy was an Outlaw. There was so much bad blood going on between them, right now. Taemin had to get away. He had to run. He turned towards the guy and shook his head. “Tell anyone about this and I will kill you.”

the breath was knocked out of him when his back it the concrete and the other male ended up on his chest. it caused a sharp pain up his back from the impact really, which he was sure would bruise later and come back to haunt him when he tried to lay down-- but for now yein just focused on keeping his arms up guarding his face as best he could, taking the hits and trying to shove him off all the same. he knew that his nose was bleeding now though, lip split in a couple places and the skin broken where bruises were starting to form. it had been a while since someone had got him this well too, a long time. but he’d put it down to being taken off guard now and being weaker than his normal days.

he coughed a little when he was lifted up, but grit his teeth when the metallic taste of blood was on his tongue. “i haven’t-- done anything to you.” he grit out, “i don’t fucking know you-- you attacked me.” all of this just because yein decided he wanted to be the nice guy and try see what the hell was wrong with the dude. big mistake. but then the other male was off of him, and yein pushed himself up on more shaky limps to sit up at least, feeling a wave of lightness run over him from that. “what the fuck-- you attack me then freak out-- the fuck are you.. jesus christ.” he raised a hand to his head then, dizziness coming back a little as he focused more on himself instead. well. if he ever saw this asshole again he was definitely going to point him out. he wasn’t letting some jackass get away with this. not today.

gp-bangtaemin:

Taemin felt the pain but only for a second. He couldn’t focus on how his stomach almost forced him to empty out the tiny amount of food that he’d managed to keep down. He lunged at the other man sending a jab to his ribs and headbutting him in his nose. He started to throw random punches wherever he could land them. Taemin wasn’t on his A game. He knew that and he also knew that this other man was skilled. He could tell from the first hit that he wasn’t dealing with an amateur. The enforcer was blacking out. He was seeing red. That was the part of him that even he was afraid of. That was the part of him that thought of his father and every punch and kick that he sent his way. That was the side of him that made him perfect for his position.

He channeled his anger towards his father and he pretended that the man in front of him was Bang Kibum. He was suddenly looking at his father and all the pent up rage coursed through his body and he wanted to hurt the man in front of him. He thought of every time he had to watch or listen to his mother being beaten. He’d make him pay for all the times he had to hide in his closet just to avoid another attack. He’d make him pay for making him feel like he was worthless. This was his chance to finally get revenge on the man that had put him through hell and back.

the next attack? well yein was taking note that apparently this guy had a thing for noses given first the fist, and now a headbutt? still, he recovered quick enough to those before he was doing his best to block the now randomly thrown punches. if he didn’t know any better, he’d have said this was just a crazy guy looking for a fight with the way he was acting, but yein could tell differently. everyone around here had some kind of story anyway. but still, he did his best to try and dodge and block the punches, feeling them hit him still, just not all of them. he was an enforcer after all, he knew how to fight and he knew how to look after himself when he needed to. he knew how to make sure he wasn’t going to get too hurt-- but still, his attacks in that moment were more to help himself. hardly attacking, and rather trying to make sure he didn't get hurt too badly.

it was like a switch though, and after starting to throw his own punches, a couple kicks to try and throw the other male of his balance, yein could notice something changing. he didn’t know what it was, but even if he couldn’t see it specifically, he could feel it, and that was a worry. so his fist went up to block again, trying to gauge just what the other was going to be doing next..

gp-bangtaemin:

Taemin was not hearing logic. In fact, he wasn’t hearing anything that the man was saying but he saw his stance. His stance told him everything that he needed to know. The other wasn’t scrawny. He had muscle and Taemin took a bit to size him up. He could hear a voice but it was like white noise, to his ears. He couldn’t understand any of it. He didn’t want to give the other man the time to study him and find a weakness. He had to strike first. If he threw the first punch, he could get an advantage, if he hit him with enough force. Taemin knew what he had to do.

He pulled his arm back and swung at the other man, fist connecting with his nose. That was always a good place to start. The nose was very sensitive and the pain usually caused most to focus on just that and not think about the next blow. In this case, the second hit was to the other mans jaw. Taemin jumped back, ready for the other to make an attack. He had his fists up, blocking his face as he got into a fighting stance. He had never fought this man and he had no idea who he was up against. He just knew that whoever sent him would regret it. Taemin wasn’t in his right mind and right now, his mind screamed out for him to coat his hands with the other man’s blood.

there was a reason that yein tended to avoid paranoid people, and this was one of them-- they were unpredictable. given that the male apparently thought he was someone that was here to come after him, send by an unknown source to yein anyway, it was an obvious case of paranoia, unless he was under some kind of influence-- yein wouldn’t be surprised at that either, considering how he was acting. but as much as he was anticipating the first punch, it didn’t mean that it didn’t still sting, shocking him a moment.

he could feel the blood as soon as the fist was withdrawn as well, at least not feeling a crack (hopefully), but his nose was bleeding and he good feel it. he’d be bruised soon enough, but the second hit had him just a little more irritated than anything-- he didn’t want to fight, but this wasn’t the first, nor would it be the last, time he’d taken hits from someone. as much as yein’s mind then told him to just turn and leave instead of fighting back, his instincts and reflexes had him moving forward instead-- most would figure you’d go straight for the face again, but there was no point when it was blocked and yein had different ways of fighting sometimes. instead, his own fist swung into the others stomach, his knee coming up swiftly a moment later to do the same to wind the other, enough force put into it anyway. his attacks were more defensive though, aiming less to harm, but more to defend himself because he didn’t know the other, and if anything, he could’ve just been too drugged or hell, even drunk, to know what he was doing right now. and yein wasn’t in the best condition to do this either, but he was a kind person.. sometimes giving too much generosity-- and this was probably a time he shouldn’t really. he should just attack and not stop. but even yein could make his own mistakes.

gp-bangtaemin:

Taemin didn’t believe him. He had to be lying to him. He was trying to get him to let his guard down. “Don’t lie to me!” He used the heels of his hands to hit himself in the head a few times, as if to wake himself up. He looked at the man in front of him and he knew that he’d seen him around. He just couldn’t remember where and it was pissing him off. He stepped closer to the man and looked him in the eyes. “I could kill you with my bare hands. Did they tell you that? Did they tell you that I don’t lose fights?” He hissed.

Taemin pushed him with as much force as he could muster up. “Get the fuck up! You thought you could just show up and this would be an easy win, for you, huh?” The older man let out a laugh that could have chilled some to the bone. “I’ll even let you get back up. I’m feeling generous, today.” He stared down at the younger man, waiting for him to make a move. He knew that this could end one of two ways. Either he’d win and he’d leave the boy laying there, in pain, or he’d win and leave him dead. It all depended on his self control. He wasn’t planning on losing, tonight.

the outburst had his guard going up further then, frown deepening because what had he just stumbled into? a simple question being taken this way was nowhere near what he was used to anyway. “i’m not lying to you. why would i be sent after you, i’m just going to get food--” he was more alert now, standing up straighter and guarding himself more. he didn’t trust this to end well, and he didn’t really want to have to deal with this right now either. “nobody sent me after you. and you’re not the only one in this place that can do that, because a lot of people can. but i didn’t approach you to start anything here. i’m literally just here to get food, and i was only asking if you were alright--”

the push he didn’t expect though, probably why he tripped back, catching himself at least because after all, this wasn’t exactly the first fight he’d been in. maybe he was weaker right now because of everything he’d just put himself through to find his sister, but yein was still a fighter. he’d grown up fighting, went to jail for pushing someone off a roof even-- he was underestimated, always. but even if he was weaker and didn’t want to get into any conflicts right now, yein wasn’t going to just let the other try and beat him without defending himself. he hadn’t started this after all. “look, i don’t know who’s pissed you off but i’m not here to fight you.” he muttered, pushing himself up, but he was in a clearly defensive stance now, ready for anything that the other would throw his way because if there was something that yein was good at, it was defending himself-- and after years of getting into fights, getting beaten up and learning from it, he’d developed a pretty high pain tolerance anyway. “calm down.”

@gpyein

Taemin hadn’t slept in days, it seemed. Three days ago, he’d woken up in his shower, cold water raining down on him. That was the last time he remembered getting any sleep. He was so drugged up, lately, he was lucky if he remembered what day of the week it was. His apartment was a mess and he didn’t even bother buying food. Not like he’d keep any of it down, with the amount of alcohol he’d been consuming. He was slowly killing himself and he didn’t really mind all that much. He had just taking an ecstasy pill and he was a bit jumpy. He walked down the streets and every sound was heightened. Every person was too close and he knew that he should probably sit down.

He turned the corner and took a seat on the curb. He pulled his knees to his chest and placed his face onto them. He brought his hands up and pulled at his hair. “Fuck, fuck, fuck.” He mumbled, trying to force the city to quiet down. He lifted his head and looked around. “What did you say?” He asked the man not too far from him. The face was familiar but he couldn’t tell you who he was. “I asked you a questioned!” He yelled. He stood up and walked towards the man. “Did someone send you here?” He questioned, eyes scanning the area. He probably looked like a crazed person, right now. He shook his head. “They must not have told you that I’m not easy to knock down.”

yein’d been in and out the hospital since they’d found yeri really. both for himself, spending a few days getting back to a good condition anyway, and the rest to make sure his sister was alright, hardly spending any time away from her really. but this time, he’d left the hospital to go and pick up some food for them both, not wanting her to be stuck still eating hospital food after all. but apparently today wasn’t the day where yein trying to be helpful ended in his favour-- not in the sense of his sister, but another situation suddenly arising. 

when he saw the man after all pulling his hair and hearing the swearing despite it being mumbled, yein being himself kind of wanted to know if the other was alright. he didn’t think he knew him anyway, but asking a simple question of ‘are you alright?’, he didn’t expect to be met with.. well this reaction. “i just-- huh?” yein’s head tilted, confusion on the teenagers face. “i only came over to ask if you were okay.” the male frowned then. maybe now was when he should just walk away instead. “send me-- what? what are you talking about?” he wasn’t sure now if he was more concerned for the other, or guarded against him, because this situation didn’t really feel that great right now. “i don’t even think i know you, why would someone send me here?”
