We Are One Pt 4
“You guys turned your backs on your brother, pushed him away. Made him feel unneeded. That what you did. You guys turned your back on him and he finally decided to turn his back as well. You broke the bond with your brother and I’m not sure if it’ll ever come back. Congrats guys, you got what you want.” Says Chen, leaving the armory.
“But, that’s not what we want!” shouts Chanyeol
“It’s a little too late for that” Chen says, as he too takes the elevator away from the place that holds so many bad memories.
Is it too late?
~~~~~~
It was hard to believe that after waiting a year for their boss to come back, he leaves all over again. Normally the boys would just take things as a joke and wait for everyone to just tell them the truth. The only difference is, they know that this isn’t a joke. They can feel it in the silence that’s around the building, when they see everyone look and walk away with their heads down. No one wants to ask the big question: Is the boss really leaving again?
“I hope you guys know that silently wishing for something isn’t going to make it come true.” Say Chen, sharpening the knives as he waits for the first training session of the week.
“It’s not that... Its just weird don’t you think? We are coming to our trainings, knowing that he’s leaving at the end of the week. It’s like watching someone you love die, it’s not nice to watch but you still want to be there because you don’t want to miss anything in between that time.” Says Suho, sitting in the corner of the training room, legs folded, staring at the wall.
“You wouldn’t have to watch him leave if you all treated him right.” Mumbles Chen, as the elevator opens us to show their boss.
They all move from their relaxed stances and slowly make their way to the middle of the room. Maybe it was a little of what Suho said, but it also was the fact that they just got their boss back, they don’t want him gone again.
“Hello everyone, todays lesson is going to be about team work. I know it sounds kind of weird considering its all ‘teamwork’ but this lesson is about actually learning the ends and outs of your team. I want all of you to go to the station in which you work the best in.” says Kyungsoo, looking at them all with an emotionless face.
They all, look at each other, lost on what to do. They weren’t sure what their strong points were. They didn’t even know what their weaknesses were.
“Why are you all just standing there? You guys need to go to your stations” He said, softly, thinking that it was another attack against him.
“It’s not that we don’t want to, its just we don’t really know what we are good at.” Says, Chanyeol, fixing his sling.
“What do you mean?” Kyungsoo asks, frowning, confused.
“While you were gone, we never really had to do anything. We never had to fight, defend, ambush, or even aid anyone. We just kind of sat and enjoyed our island that we had. I mean…. We all have qualities I’m sure to do certain things, but we don’t have a definite strong point.” Say Chen, softly.
Kyungsoo looks at them with a blank expression. He was confused on what Chen meant but at the same time, he knew. He knew exactly what they meant because, like Chen said, they had no reason to hone skills that they could show now. They had nothing and as their leader, Kyungsoo is to show them all their strengths and weaknesses. Maybe this would be easier now if they actually listen to him now.
“Alrighty then, I guess Ill go by age then. Sehun, step forward.” Kyungsoo said taking his gun holster off and setting it on the table to the left of him.
Sehun steps forward and is confused on what is about to happen. He tries to think of the skills that he has, anything to make this easier. He never really knew how to use a gun or knife. Thinking back, he never understood why he was even brought into the gang.
“Sehun, Oh Sehun. Its nice to see that in a year you look a lot better than you did when I recruited you. You know, I remember when I first saw you, angry at everyone because you couldn’t find your path in life. Fought everyone who questioned it or even tried to help you.” Kyungsoo said, slowly walking around Sehun, sizing him up.
“You don’t know anything about me boss. That’s not who I was.” Sehun says back, glaring heavily at his boss
“Oh really? So it was you who fought his parents on going to college? Almost killed your father that time actually. How about before that when you were at school and you didn’t like the fact that your teacher said, ‘You’ll never amount to anything Oh, just give up now.’ And you put him in the hospital for four months. Or the time before that when- “
“I get it, you don’t need to remind me of my past.” Sehun cuts in, infuriated at Kyungsoo.
“I thought that wasn’t you though, Oh” Kyungsoo mocks,
“Don’t call me that, my name is Sehun” he fires back.
All the other members are shocked to have the boss just out Sehun’s past like that. No one knew of his past, they didn’t know about anyone’s past and for the boss just to easily say it, in front of everyone was shocking. Was he going to do that to everyone? That was the question in everyone’s head.
“You don’t give me orders Oh” says Kyungsoo stopping in front of Sehun, eyes boring into sehuns furious ones.
“Oh my go-“
Before Sehun could get the sentence out his mouth, Kyungsoo grabbed his right arm and Flipped him over his shoulder, making Sehun’s body slam against the concrete.
“Fuck” Sehun screams out, rolling away from his boss.
“Boss what the fuck are you doing?!” yells out Kai
“Shut the fuck up and speak when spoken to.” Kyungsoo says, voice dropping to a deadly octave that has them all stepping back, including Kai.
Kyungsoo turns back around and sees Sehun has recovered from his impact and is now standing in a defensive stance, prepared for his next attack.
“I see you learned how to defend yourself now, nice to know. That way this training won’t be as easy.”
Kyungsoo then steps up and calculate Sehun’s body, realizing that he wanted to take the first swing. Then Sehun swings, right arm flying at Kyungsoo with speed and power. Kyungsoo dodges it but didn’t dodge the kick to his ribcage. The impact was hard but welcomed
“Nice to see you’re finally fighting Sehun”
“You asked for it”
“That I did”
Then, the fight really begun. Sehun took offense again and begun to rain kicks and punches down upon Kyungsoo that had them both panting from the efforts they were putting into the fight. Sehun, body moving in just the right way, like he was made for fighting. He was finding his balance with Kyungsoo making it easier to fight him. At one point over powering him, Sehun had Kyungsoo on his knees clutching his shoulder that was dislocated. Sehun, thinking the fight was over stepped back and soon regretted it. Kyungsoo spun on his right foot and knocked him off his feet. While he was falling, Kyungsoo rammed his foot into his chest, making him fly further away. Once he landed on his back, Kyungsoo was straddled on his hips and shoved his hand forward, going for the kill but stopping right at the tip of Sehun’s nose.
“Never think the opponent is done fighting because of an injury or you die.” He said, then stood up an let Sehun rise from the floor.
“Chen, come and help me with my arm”
Chen walks over and reaches for his arm, holding his upper arm and his wrist. Then, he pulled and there was a loud pop as his joints found their way back together.
“Thanks “Kyungsoo said, rotating his arm, trying to get back into use both arms.
“Okay, now that you showed us that…. what exactly are we supposed to do?” Asked Chanyeol
“Well you actually have to sit out for this training lesson because of your arm. However, everyone else is going to spar. You all need to know how to defend yourself in every aspect, you won’t always have weapons. Find partners.” Kyungsoo said, making his was to the side.
All the boys look worried about the set up but still paired up. Baekhyun went with Suho, Yixing went with Kai, Sehun partnered up Xiumin, leaving Chen with Kyungsoo.
“Alright boys, now that you have your partner, I want you to spar, no broken bones and no killing each other. After you spar, I then want you to both critique one another, tell them their weakness and what they did great. Then, once you do that, in your pairs, you will go against another pair. The best pair will win, however, whoever wins will then be in charge of conducting hand to hand training every week once I leave. “Kyungsoo says, looking at his brothers, slowly seeing them realize that he was slowly preparing them to move on with out him.
“Wait, hold up, I think this is a bit quick Boss” says Minseok, frowning
“It’s the exact speed you all need. I’m not going to be here soon and you all need to realize that you need to take care of yourself and others.”
“This is stupid, you know you don’t have to leave! Why are you making things so difficult?!” Kai spits out, creating tension in the air.
“I’m not making things difficult, I have to leave. I’m sure you will all get it one day.” He said, turning to Chen, getting in a stance to start sparring.
“What type of leader are you? I guess ‘We are One ‘means nothing to you. When you leave, I hope you realize what you gave up on.” Kai says, turning his back, preparing to spar. Everyone thinks the tension is dying down when Kyungsoo says,
“’We are One’ means everything to me, don’t forget I’m the one who gave you the saying that you live by. Once I leave, I hope you realize what you gave up on.” Kyungsoo states, finally launching himself at Chen, starting their partner sparring.
Because you gave up on everything we had
