Gyun and Juwon were led to a construction site where several voices could be heard loudly yelling and singing along to the music. Gyun had counted the voices he'd heard as they walked up a few flights of stairs, from what he heard there were at least 8 males with 5 or so female voices. Gyun looked at the group that was 9, it came together to about 17 total of expected combatants an easily manageable number if Gyun put his mind to it.
Jisung pushed aside the plastic draped at the end of the flight of stairs, revealing a construction site that had added a few sofas and chairs with foldable tables and several alcoholic drinks with a speaker blasting music as a group partied.
"Hey look who it is!"
"Jisung we were just getting started! Here have a drink"
Jisung waved his hand, "Yo" he said as he grabbed a beer and took a large sip.
One of the girls pointed at Gyun and Juwon, "Who are those two?"
-Oh here it is- Gyun thought as Jisung turned around dropping any pretenses of formality.
"Just some guys who need to learn a lesson, you can watch if you want," Jisung said as unzipped his jacket leaving it open.
He walked casually towards Juwon and slapped him, Juwon took it with his eyes down not retaliating. Jisung clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction,
"Your no fun" he turned to Gyun "but from the beginning you were the one I wanted"
Gyun grinned, "was the slap a bit much last time?"
Jisung's arrogant smile disappeared instantly replaced with a scowl, "the fuck you say!"
He slapped Gyun as hard as he could which sent Gyun to the ground, Jisung laughed in delight "say that again!"
But strangely Gyun was quiet as he slowly stood up chuckling, Jisung was thrown off but didn't let it show as he repeated his question.
"Say that again!"
Gyun stood up again lightly touching his mouth which had a small bit of blood on it.
Gyun looked at it for a moment ignoring Jisung, Gyun spoke in a soft tone "I'm sorry I was just so surprised that I got slapped, I've been punched, beat, stabbed, kicked, and cut but it been a looooonnnnggg time since I've been slapped that I think I bit my tongue by surprise."
Jisung laughed, he looked back at his friends, "The guts o-ugh"
Jisung doubled over and went to his knees, from a sudden punch to the solar plexus from Gyun
Gyun placed his hand on Jisung's shoulder who was desperately sucking in air through gritted teeth, Jisung's friends jumped up,
"Oh my god"
"Jisung are you fine"
"Jisung let us take care of this asshole!"
Jisung screamed out in anger, Gyun looked at him as Jisung slammed his fist into the ground repeatedly until his fist was bloody, "SHUT THE FUCK UP! THIS GUY IS MINE!"
The room was silent as Jisung breathed heavily, Gyun squatted down to look Jisung in the eyes, but Jisung was staring at the ground.
Gyun clicked his tongue as he squeezed Jisung's shoulder, "are you done?"
Juwon looked at the unbelievable scene in front of him, Gyun the sarcastic and prickly guy he'd been hanging out with for the past few days. As if a switch had been flipped his personality had completely changed, he was controlling the situation. Juwon who'd been in love with combat sports since his father had introduced them to him, had seen countless fights both in person and on TV but had failed to see the punch that dropped Jisung to his knees.
--------------------------------------------
Jisung didn't want to admit it, no he didn't just want to admit it, he hated it. The fact that he was terrified to look up. He wanted to ask his friends for help but the presence that seemed to be looking into his soul, the eyes that burned their gaze into the top of his head.
Jisung glanced over at his friends, his girlfriend Suyin locked eyes with him, "fuck him up Jisung what are you doing ?!"
"Fuck this!" One of Jisung's friends, Jisoo, charged forward,
"Beat this asshole!" The rest of Jisung's group followed Jisoo's lead
Jisung felt the hand release its grip on his shoulder,
"I guess violence is unavoidable today"
