Min squints his eyes, looks at the body in front of them and then at the female beside him, “you say that like I didn’t just shoot him and he’s lying there bleeding to his death” he says, throwing his cigarette on the ground and putting his gun back in his pocket.

And so yeah maybe he shouldn’t have been swinging around his new gun and showing it off to Python, but how was he supposed to know one of their mutual friends would suddenly show up and surprise him? That was dumb of mutual friend, he was lying there dying because of himself, not because Min had gotten scared surprised and accidentally shot the gun at the dude. “So, what we gonna do? Leave him here to die or take him to the hospital? If we’re actually taking him to the hospital then I vote you come up with an excuse for why he got shot” Min begins as he begins buttoning up his shirt. “That was a dick move of him, going around scaring me, look at him now, shot” Min continues as he glances at the lying male for a second. “By the way can I borrow your jacket? I don’t wanna go home in this bloody shirt” Min says, nodding towards his half buttoned up shirt as he continues buttoning it up.

jihoon is manager of the crow's nest, so of course, his primary job is making everything run smoothly. he makes sure the employees are doing their jobs, picks up any work that no one can tend to, and makes sure his customers are happy. jihoon is hardworking, and in his heart, takes running things very seriously.

on the outside, he's a little more light-hearted though, or at least he tries to be. it's a little more difficult these days, given recent events (departures and absences, and all kinds of emotions he'd rather not face.) he's a little more somber lately, but he tries to push his typical bright persona, and to sell it like he always used to. he uses it to gain trust, appearing friendly and chipper to put others in a better mood, amiable and engaging.

sometimes, part of keeping customers happy involves gossiping when he can justify taking a break. okay, maybe it just makes jihoon happy.

regardless, as a neutral hub favored by gangs, all people of all sorts walk in and out of the crow's nest's doors, and jihoon is nosy by trade. that, combined with his cunning and manipulative nature, assures that his ears are always peeled for information that may be of use to him. besides that, he's simply nosy. he likes going on, like it gives him a little extra leverage and control, and if there's anything jihoon loves, it's control.

sometimes jihoon's penchant to only spill frivolous information isn't welcome to those expecting to get more from him, and he meets with plenty of those types. jisoo, however, isn't one, and he finds the tidbits she gathers by working at the casino fascinating; ultimately unimportant, but fascinating.

his eyes flicker to a man at the table a safe distance from theirs. "you see him? actually, don't look." jihoon's smile is a little wicked. "he's going through a divorce. his wife was cheating on him with two different men. oh, the humanity!"

it was early evening by the time jihun dragged himself up the stairs of their home towards the bathroom to clean himself up. blood stained the front of his shirt, tissues shoved up his noes to try and stop the bleeding, but everything was aching. once again he had not lived up to his parents standards, and as per usual, his father took it out on him with his fists. jihun was rather used to the treatment at this point, but that didn’t make it hurt any less.

he took in a sharp inhale of breath as he shouldered open the door of the bathroom, using a foot to more or less close it behind him as he moved towards the sink. and, for just a moment, he stood there, staring at his reflection in the mirror stuck to the wall just above it. god he looked a mess, bottom lip busted open, a bruise starting to form on his cheek, dried blood on his chin and blood stained tissues shoved up his nose. he was fifteen, he really didn’t deserve this sort of crap.
