Daegun gained some confidence after seeing the first kick drop the leader I guess that's what a lifetime of soccer gets you. But now he was just getting his ass kicked, he tried to turtle up and throw another kick but they kept throwing punches and finding gaps in his guard.
Jungo and Jinsun weren't having much better luck as they were turtling up on the ground taking a beating, Daegun desperately looked to the other customers but they stood by and watched, intimidated by the thugs.
"You're taking your eyes off in a fight, rookie"
One of the thugs threw an uppercut that smashed into Daeguns chin sending him to the floor as his vision blurred. -Why is the floor so warm?- Daegun tried to get back up but they started stomping on him.
The long haired man recovered enough, "stop, let me" the other thugs backed off. "hey you fuck, that was a good kick" he grabbed Daeguns hair. "But I'm done playing around" he punched him the face a few times but paused just as Daeguns consciousness was fading.

30 seconds ago
Gyun put on his mask, as he walked in the direction where all the yelling was coming from unfortunately their was a crowd so Gyun had to shove his way through. He finally got through, and saw what he expected, Daegun was gettin his ass handed to him, he was turtled up on the ground like the rest of his friends as they were stomped on.
-Well it hurts to see Daegun get beat up, but it's all for his best I was planning on training the rest of the family, but I guess he's my most urgent case, especially with the virgin white knight tendencies he's showing. But he'll never agree to train martial arts when he's already committed to soccer, but with a small beating like this, it won't take much convincing.-
At least that's what Gyun was planning until he saw the additional punches, from some punk. Gyun walked calmly forward through the crowd,
"hey back the fuck u-ugh!"
Gyun kicked both of them with his hands in his pockets, he barely managed to hold back. Even with the mask, others could tell how angry he was, the thugs panicked.
Gyun spoke, "you, long hair"
"Huh?" he looked up in just enough time as he was sent flying with a kick, he flew a few feet back.
Gyun aimed for a shoulder for the purpose that he wanted the man awake for what was supposed to happen. "Get up, you son of a bitch, I'm not done yet".
"urgh, ah that v-voice i-is that you crew head?" The long haired man looked up, it was then that Gyun recognized him, "Seojun is that you?"
"Yes sir it is, I'm just here to collect, Seojun's stood up and looked at Gyun searching his eyes, Gyun raised his leg bringing it down on Seojun's head smashing his face into the ground. "avert your eyes", Gyun left his foot on Seojun's head.
"S-sir what did I do wrong?!" Seojun didn't dare resist, the other thugs hurriedly got on their knees and bowed heads to the ground, they'd all heard of what the new head had done during his takeover, sending dozens to the hospital.
Gyun looked over at Daegun, he looked to be fading in an out of consciousness he turned his attention back to the Seojun. "I let you off last time for challenging my authority because I found it humorous, but Seojun" he pressed down on his head, causing him to scream.
"Do you have a death wish? Beating up my brother to this extent? You're lucky we're in public, or I'm sure you know what would happen."
Seojun couldn't breathe, -his brother?!We beat up his brother?! Then were those other two his friends?! Am I going to die-
"I-I apologize! Zero sir! please punish this lowly subordinate!" -yeah it's best to get it over quick- Seojun accepted his fate.
But the foot lifted off him, "you were just doing your job right?"
Seojun smiled but still kept his head bowed, "Y-Yes sir! I was just collecting on a debt like Chungsan ordered!"
Gyun turned picking up his brother, "I'll let this go for now since there's too many eyes here but just know when you show up at the meeting tonight, your going to have to prove your worth".
"Leave, before I reconsider" Seojun bowed before hurriedly running for the door, the rest started to follow him.
But a cold voice stopped them, "no, you guys stay"
———————————————-
Daegun woke up on one of the tables, he looked around as he opened his eyes. His brother stood in front of the kneeling thugs, who had their arms up in the air as they chanted an apology to the employees who stood behind his brother.
He recognized his brother from the jacket he was wearing despite him wearing a mask. -So he beat them all did he, is that the power of martial arts,damn maybe I need to learn how to fight- he thought as he laid his head back down.
———————————————-
Gyun was very lucky, since the whole situation shook down so fast and that there was somewhat of a justification. Nobody had yet to call the police.
-Shit they just had to be my boys, fuck! I was planning on just beating the shit out of them and letting the law take over afterward.-
He couldn't use intimidation and since the rest of the crowd had heard Seojun calling him crew head, he had very little breathing room. Luckily they also heard that they'd beat Gyun's brother, who'd previously stepped in.
So Gyun was left with no choice, he took off his mask and pulled back his hood, bowing to the employee's and the rest of the customers who gathered to form a crowd at 90 degrees.
"My apologies, I was unaware of my friends actions! I didn't expect for this to happen, they even beat up my own brother so please let them off!" He took out the remaining amount of money in his wallet and put it out. "If this doesn't cover all the damages I can pay you the rest, just don't report them to the police!"
-Fuck! I'm practically begging! I should have just let them beat the shit out of you Daegun!-
A woman who had the name plaque on her chest identifying her as the manager stepped forward. "Well like you said it wasn't your fault this happened and it does seem our owner was partly to blame. But we can't just let this go at the same time, tell you what since your brother got beat up to how about you work here part time on the weekends after school. You are a high school student right?"
Gyun grit his teeth, "yes ma'am I'm a second year in high school."
"Well then what do you say, you can work here for a month or so and then we can call it even".
"I agree ma'am"
"Very good, Jia go get one of our job application forms. I'm glad we could come to an agreement."
Gyun spoke through gritted teeth, "of course ma'am, thank you so much".
"But I'll still take the money to cover damages, you don't mind do you?" She spoke with a condescending tone.
Gyun replied with a calm answer "no ma'am"
One of the employees passed Gyun a job application form. "thank you, we'll get going now."
