12 : Code Adam and Protocol Omega

——

"However Hongjoong made a special Protocol for us. Protocol Omega. So the best way to explain it would be only Hongjoong is allowed to shoot his father dead if he shows up at KQ. Hongjoong is the only one allowed to leave KQ unless absolutely necessary."

"Is that why Oneus is coming over?"

"Yes. That is also why."

"We have to help him."

"Literally 24hrs ago you two were at each other's throats. Now you wanna help?"

"Kim SiHyuk is the most wanted criminal in our nation. Hongjoong is out there somewhere on his own fighting the bastard. So yes I wanna help."

——

"Shit! I can't go out like this." He passed the Toyota as SiHyuk's men ran after him. He jumped and ducked as much as he could. When he was far enough and SiHyuk's men swarmed the off-roader he detonated the few IEDs (improvised explosive device) he made. Car parts flew into the air, gasoline shot in all directions. Many of SiHyuk's men were very injured or dead. However it wasn't enough.

Hongjoong gripped his most powerful and most filled guns in his hands. He looked over the fallen tree and spotted many more men coming his way. The two parties fired at each other. It was a tiring fight. In the end at least 200 of SiHyuk's men were dead and Hongjoong had at least a pint of blood*** out.

While reloading SiHyuk sent more men. However due to the environment and the amount of people heading to Hongjoong, he could not defend them all and was taken.

*beep beep beep* This message is not recorded and has been made up on the spot. In the Seo District** of Busan a powerful explosion had gone off at 3: 52 am. The military have sent men to the site to investigate. Facilities have been asked to send as many of their people to the borders of towns and districts to fend off the men Kim SiHyuk sends.

——

"An explosion?"

"Hongjoong's probably gone after SiHyuk."

"Yeah and he could've been in the explosion."

"I hope Hyung is okay."

"Don't you remember he didn't want us getting in his way!"

"You know what. You may hate him for what he said. But he's still my hyung. You're still my hyungs. He grew up in a fucking gang. The most wanted gang to exist in South Korea. I don't care if what he said is true. I don't believe it and I will make sure I get to see him one last time to let him know I trust him."

"I'm with Jongho, in this. Hongjoong might believe what he said and live by that. But I don't think that. I think he said it to get less people to care about him if he died. If none of you other than Jongho don't care about Hongjoong then you can stay here. I'm going to bring him back."

"I may not like Hongjoong for what he said but I can't let our oldest and youngest go alone."

"I'm coming with. I love chicken but I can't imagine my life with all of you. I know I sound nice and this is a once in a lifetime event so shut up."

"I think we all agree then we can't let Hyung do this himself and we can't leave anyone behind."

"San?"

"I still don't like Hongjoong but yeah. I won't be left out. I want us to stick together even if this is the last thing we do."

"We'll bring Hongjoong back home Hyung. Don't worry."

"That's not what I'm worried about. But thank you."

"Hongjoong Hyung may not be here and we might all have conflicting opinions but even so. 8 makes one team!"

"We can let you do this-"

"You aren't getting us to change our minds Ravn Hyung."

"You didn't let us finish. We can't let you do this alone. We're coming with. We've know Hongjoong for a long time and we think it's best to have us come with. We know you'd wanna get him so we already decided we'd come with even if you said no."

"Thank you Ravn."

"Of course. After all. As the SiHyuk's gang, Noir, says 'we rise together or fall together, no one gets left behind' yeah I know their motto. I was a part of it. 4 of us [oneus] were. That's why we have this on us. We had to get them when we turned 10." Ravn, Hwanwoong and Leedo proceed to show them their burn scars.

"We also have a symbol tattooed here. On our wrist. Everyone has a different one. Hongjoong's is a 5 ring bullseye symbol for leadership. Ravn has a 5 ring bullseye too. Seoho has a Caduceus for his knowledge in the medical field. We got them at the age of12."

"So, you were forced to get burned at a fatal point of the body, get a tattoo, and you still got into GSPEC?!"

"Yes and no. We, Hongjoong, Hwanwoong and I, made a deal to get in. And while Hongjoong is the youngest of the three of us he was expected to become the next leader so he was really pushed."

"We've gotten off topic. We need to help Hongjoong."

"Yes. Right. We can talk more in the car. Everyone suit up. We have a rescue mission to start."

** There are 2 districts in S. Korea that have been named Seo. One in Busan and another in Daegu.
