Gunpoint Brave // Markhyuck

《 ● ● ● 》

His brother looked at him with worry.

"You were jumping out in good form, but then you froze and fell head-first. For a second I thought I should leap to catch you."

Donghyuck exhaled in relief, but also in confusion.

I swear.
I thought I was falling for more than a few seconds.

Donghyuck shook the thought away.

"Hyung, something happened," Donghyuck quickly said.

"What--"

*CRASH*

Shards of glass fell from the window above as shouts of the men in black grew louder.

"Save it! Let's go!"

Dawon took his hand and ran with him all the way to his car, jamming his key into the ignition, and blasting away to the sounds of gunshots.

The two brothers stayed silent until they reached the highly populated highway, lights sparkling bright.

Donghyuck broke the silence.

"Hyung... what's happening...?"

"While I was gone, the top handed me a new case," Dawon pointed at the passenger compartment.

Donghyuck opened it to find a yellow enverlope. He took out the sheets of paper inside, eyes widening at the information.

"The south is really crazy. Thing is, no one is sure who it is. We need to find out," Dawon continued driving.

The papers gave a detailed report on suspicion of the south side business leaders making deals with a mafia of some sort. No one knew who was behind it though. The south side of Seoul was known to do some illegal sales and trading.

But this was just... huge.

"But what are they planning to do with the mafia..?" Donghyuck asked.

"That's what we're trying to find out. For all we know, they want people dead and money on the tables."

Donghyuck put two and two together.

"You mean--"

"Yes. There's someone ordering the killing of our dad, and it's not some random dude. The fact that the two runners you saved worked in a southern building proves that it's really the leaders there."

"But who..."

"Lee Minhyung."

Donghyuck's eyes widened at the name.

Lee Minhyung.

Seoul's #1 most wanted rich bachelor. Just turned 19. Son of the southern president and currently running the companies and businesses under his father's guidance.

Donghyuck gulped.

"He's the number-one suspect on this mission. Unfortunately, we're not sure who to send to investigate," Dawon pulled up to the back entrance to The Mirror. "Hurry now, we gotta meet the top."

The glass doors of the building slid open and they were greeted by Wonwoo, the personnel assigned to the back desk.

"Its about time. There's an emergency meeting going on. Floor 26, room 9," Wonwoo pointed at the elevator. "I'll meet you there in five."

Dawon quickly gave a nod and dragged Donghyuck with him into the elevator.

"Hyung... who were those people..?" Donghyuck asked.

Donghyuck was pretty confident in taking down one or two people... but he never felt ready. So large groups were his fear. He was too scared.....

What? He uses music to ignore large crowds for a reason.

"Probably people from the southern mafia..." Dawon said. "The two men you took down must've been part of it. Either the two boys leaked this information on purpose, or the two men sucked at their job and left it for the higher-ups to take care of."

Donghyuck couldn't deny that Jeno and Renjun could've set him up, but still... Renjun crying while cradling the sick Jeno outside of his house rattled him so much.

Renjun reminded him of himself.

I miss mom....

"Oh yeah, you said earlier that something happened?" Dawon questioned as they stepped out onto floor 26.

Donghyuck paused.

"Hyung, I heard mom again."

Dawon stopped walking and quickly held Donghyuck by the shoulders, brows furrowed.

"You're not kidding..?" Dawon said.

"No... when I jumped... she... she sang Dawon. The same old lullaby."

Dawon knew exactly what it meant.

Their mom had a strange habit of singing to Donghyuck whenever something bad was going to happen.
Even in her slumber in the earth, she protected them at all costs.

Thing is, what was it...?
