Gunpoint Brave // Markhyuck

"You think so?" The man from before said, uninterested.

"Isn't this dumb? They're so easily taking our requests," the man Donghyuck had officially named 'Gash Face' said.

"You're being ridiculous. Let's go," the man shook his subordinate off.

"Bullshit. I smell bullshit!" The guy charged towards them, his fists raised.

"Stop!" The other man yelled.

Seungmin quickly got in front of Jeongin and Donghyuck, arm protectfully extended to cover them. However the man didn't get far.

*BANG BANG*

Two bullet holes bloomed at his feet. They barely nicked his toes. The rather bulky man landed in the mud while his gang snickered.

Minho blew the smoke away from the barrel of his gun, proceeding to twirl it around his finger casually as per usual. He didn't look phased or even relived. He just seemed rather unbothered.

"That," he said firmly. "Was a warning. I don't know what the hell your gangs are doing here, and frankly, I don't care. However, this is our turf. You'd better watch your step."

With that, Minho put his gun back into his holster and walked over to them like it was any other walk down the street. Seungmin relaxed a bit and nodded at Jeongin, who, with Donghyuck, carefully put Jaemin on his back.

Seungmin, Donghyuck, and Jeongin began to walk back as Minho walked behind them. He looked like he was dozing off, but Donghyuck knew he was making sure those men didn't follow them as his gun wasn't completely secured in his holster.

"I can't believe they're making us take this many people though," Seungmin said as they trudged back.

"We have to. Compared to them, we're no match in numbers. However, if every guy was a dumb as that one, we may even have more braincells than they do," Minho put both hands on the back of his head, walking in a relaxed position.

"I wonder who he is though...?" Jeongin looked at Jaemin with curious eyes.

"Me too..." Donghyuck said, though he wanted to take Jaemin and run back home.

"By the way, his face was really a story on its own," Minho said, referring to Gash-Face.

"He looks like Chucky pounced on him," Jeongin joked in a bright smiley manner.

"Jeonginnie, you're too young to be watching that stuff," Seungmin playfully flicked his forehead while Donghyuck checked Jaemin's temperature.

"Guys, he's pretty hot," Donghyuck was raw with worry.

"Ouuh, your type Haechan?" Minho winked.

"No, he's actually burning up," the cafe-haired was really tempted to tell them that they needed to hurry because his friend was sick.

"We should hurry," Seungmin said, catching Donghyuck's worry but strangely not questioning it.

They quickly left more footprints in the mud as they made a beeline back to the Stray Kids Crib.

"JISUNG!"

"My god!"

Seungmin nearly dropped Jaemin, making Donghyuck's poor heart stop in shock as Minho and Jeongin screamed in horror as they entered the base. Jaemin was laid on the ground with haste as the three dashed away.

Everyone was shaken and disheveled. Woojin was bandaging a bloody arm that was still bleeding through the cloth around it. Felix sucked in harsh amounts of hair through his teeth as the older tried to be gentle. Donghyuck was shocked to see a bullet wound on the orange-haired boy's arm. Sweat trickled down Felix's cheeks, mingling with the maroon scratches newly carved into his face. Puffy eyes were the evidence that he had cried far more than he had the tears for.
