YOSEF
I broke the speed limit and beat all the red lights to get at JD’s house fast. Renzo-hyung will kill me if any of the boys get hurt! Two of them are cousins of Iyah and Ayla-noona. I worriedly thought. I sped up faster and finally reached JD’s neighborhood. I parked on the corner of the street and cautiously approached the house. Then I heard gunshots inside. Sh*t! I need to act quick! I noticed that the electric fence was disabled and the house is covered in darkness. The front door is ajar so I go around the house and enter on the back door. I saw a man going to shoot someone inside. I quickly knocked him out with my gun.
“Are you okay, Black Dragon?” I asked, using his alias to keep his real identity.
“I’m okay.” He answered without mentioning my name. I guess I was right that the other man is inside. JD w
JUNI am teasing David when the fire exit door opens and slams hard on the wall. Then a booming loud voice shouts.“WHAT ARE YOU BOYS DOING HERE?!”We are all startled and simultaneously look back to know who it is. The serious faces of JD-hyung and Yosef-hyung welcome us.“Uh-oh…” David muttered.“I TOLD YOU TO ESCAPE AND CALL SEAN OR YOSEF, RIGHT?! SO WHAT POSSESSED YOU TO GO HERE AND CATCH THE SNIPER?! HUH?! ANSWER ME!” JD-hyung shouted again with both hands on his waist. Yosef-hyung is standing beside him with crossed arms and an expressionless face.“Ah… JD-hyung… We just want to help you out.” Danny-hyung started reasoning out.“Help me?! What if you guys get into trouble?! What will I say to your moms?” J
3RD PERSON“Okay. Listen to me carefully.” JD sat on the sofa inside the room and got himself comfortable.This will be a long conversation. Yosef thought and excused himself to call Renzo and report what happened to him. He went into the room’s balcony and dial Renzo’s number.Danny, Jun, Jaden and David all sat on the bed in front of JD, ready to listen on what this is all about.“Renzo-hyung, Yosef, Sean, Aikon, Miko, the twins, me and some other Polaris and Stargazer staff are agents of Dark Knight. Dark Knight is a private organization established by Mr. Bobby Young, a retired private detective, which specializes in dealing with gangs, mafias and any illegal acts that threaten and endanger people’s lives. Indecent and illegal acts on the military, police and the government is also handled by Dark Knight.
DAVIDAfter JD-hyung and Yosef-hyung left, Danny-hyung turned to us.“So, what are we going to do?” He asked.“I told you I already decided, hyung.” I quickly answered him. “I want to join Dark Knight.” I firmly said. They all look at me.“Are you sure, David? Once we start, we can’t back out anymore.” Danny-hyung said looking concerned. “This is not a game. This is real life.” He continued.“I know that, hyung. But my decision is final.” I said. I don’t know why they are having second thoughts now. I thought they want to join too. I sighed.“I haven’t decided yet. You can’t join without me.” Jun told me. I sighed again.“I can, Jun. If you don’t want to join, that

The customers love the boys! After their short break, the café became fully packed. And after hearing one song, a
YOSEFI know I’m being immature by getting jealous of a kid. Tsk! But Calli is staring at David with dreamy eyes and I really don’t like it! I sigh. Polaris Café is closing and the last customers already left. But Ayla-noona, Iyah and Calli are still on their table and laughing together. I wonder what they are laughing about… I look at the Étoile Band who are putting away their band instruments while talking and laughing at each other. I admit their band is really good. And I admit (reluctantly) that David’s voice is beautiful. But it still irritates me that Calli likes him. I frown.“If looks could kill, David is already dead since this morning.” JD suddenly says. I didn’t notice him beside me. I glance at him.“Chill, bro.” he says and pats me on the shoulder before approaching the boys
RENZOAfter Yosef and the twins left, I go to Ayla, Iyah and Calli. Ayla and Iyah are talking while Calli is staring on the direction where Yosef left a while ago. I feel guilty on making him leave without saying goodbye to her. But a mission is a mission. Dark Knight’s agents know that. It’s one of our SOP.“Hello, Jagiya.” I greet Ayla and kiss her on the cheek. She turns to me.“Hello, Jagiya.” She answers back with a sweet smile. She subtly glances at Calli and looks at me.“Where are Yosef and the twins going?” she asks.“I ask them to do an errand for me. Nothing serious, Jagiya.” I answer louder for Calli to hear.“Okay.” She says and smiles.I then turn to Iyah and Calli.“How are you d
3RD PERSONThe Dark Knight’s private plane is ready to take off anytime now. The Olympus Gang members are safely handcuffed to their seats with agents posted to guard them. Yosef chose a seat at the back to see everyone’s movements on the plane while the twins are at the front. Yosef immediately message Calli before the plane takes off.Calli, Renzo-hyung asked me to do something. I will be back tomorrow.Then Calli replies back to him.Take care, Yosef. See you.Then the flight attendant requests to turn off phones because the plane is taking off. It is a 13-hour flight to L.A. so Yosef busies himself on contacting the FBI agent who will meet them at the airport.
JDAfter Renzo-hyung talked to us, the boys continue putting away their band instruments. Then they tell me, Sean and Iyah that they are going to hang out and watch movies on Mama’s place. I allowed Danny and Jaden, Iyah allowed Jun and David and Sean allowed Sam. I reminded Danny, Jun, Jaden and David to be on the bar at exactly eight in the evening. They promise that they will and we separate ways. I went home to my real house here in Korea. I bought it a year before with the help of Renzo-hyung. I want my sisters and I to settle down here. I hope they like it. I’m lying on my bed now, trying to sleep for a bit. But I remember the short conversation I had with Iyah a while ago.**Flashback**I was disappointed when Aikon called me back because my conversation with Ayla-noona, Iyah and Calli was
