CHAPTER 3!
Chiru was pacing the front of the library when Chisai came out. "What took you so long?" Chiru asked trying to control the panic at the back of her mind.
"Sorry. I was getting a date for tonight. What's up with you?" Chisai took Chiru's hand and began walking away.
"It's just... You remember Zico-sunbae?"
"The one that wants to collaborate with JungShin? Yeah. He's weird."
"Well he's the one I'm writing the new song with for hyung. I just found out that Jaehyo, you remember him right? Well they're friends and live in the same apartment. He didn't know me when we ran into each other the other day but he knew you."
"And he was cute right?"
"Right... WAIT! Unni!" Chiru made a pouty face which made Chisai squeal with fan girl excitement like the weird older sister she was. "He is but... He'd never go after someone like me..."
Chisai made an annoyed noise before rolling her eyes. "Stop doing that to yourself, dongsaeng. I think you're pretty amazing and any guy would be lucky to have you even look at them. Maybe you should ask him out?"
Chiru seemed to think about it for a second before slowly nodding. "I'll ask him next time. But what if he has a girlfriend?"
"Then you're screwed. Ask Zico about him but be casual about it~!"
Chiru stopped and looked at Chisai. "How do you ask about that kind of thing casually?"
"Like this, 'Hey sunbae? Is it just you and P.O. that live here?' If he says yes then ask, 'Is it a two person band?' Then he'll say no, because they're not..."
"They aren't?"
"No. JungShin says there's like seven of them. Two of them are in like Japan or something promoting or filming or something unimportant like that... Anyways do you want to know more or are you good?" Chisai began walking again.
Chiru had to run a few feet to catch up before she said, "No what else?"
"Okay so he'll tell you about the others and just casually ask, 'What are they like?' or 'Do you go out and party much with your dongsaengs?' But do it all cute like because he likes that kind of thing..."
"How do you know so much about Zico-sunbae?" Chiru looked at her unni suspiciously.
"Him and sunbae went to school together. I asked JungShin about him before I said it was okay for you to go and make music with him. I wouldn't let you off with a complete stranger... You crazy?"
Chiru laughed a little before grabbing her unni's hand to stop her. "This is it. Ready?"
"Yeah let's go..."
Chisai took off her jacket before helping her sister with hers. She threw them under a nearby car, a red, beat up buggy, that was always there. Chisai wore a spaghetti strap, black shirt with a skull on it and a leather jacket with spikes on the shoulders. Her pants were dark blue jeans and had rips in them with light black tights underneath. She had tight, black, fingerless gloves on and her hair was in a tight ponytail. She had black boots on that she'd borrowed from her sister. Chiru was wearing a thin white tank under a thin layered shirt that had rips on the shoulders and connected with a choker around her neck. She had black skinny jeans on with three rips that looked like a tiger clawed them with a thin, tight-like cloth underneath. Her hair was also in a ponytail with her hair still reaching all the way down her back. Chisai had on her black and white kitty ears while Chiru put on her panda ears. They looked at each other once before smiling and going down the stairs.
In the basement of the abandoned factory it was mostly concrete. There was a fence that made a little prison area that was built in years after the factory closed. A boy sat by the fence with a blue and black guitar. There were three extra rooms besides the main hang out. The smallest room was the poker and gambling room where you lost more than you won. The second biggest room was twice the size of the poker room and was the leader's meeting room. No one besides very few were ever allowed in the room. Chisai has never even seen what was in it but heard it had nothing but a thick mahogany desk and about four wooden chairs with deep red silk cushions and two old couches that looked almost brand new since no ones really sat on them before. The third room was the game room and was almost as big as the meeting room where Chisai and Chiru were at now. It had a basketball court, pinball machines, Foosball machines, a few tables and chairs, with some snack machines. It was one of the better gangs that the girls had to hang out with.
Half of the boys were playing basketball while the other half played cards uncaring. None of them noticed either girl when they reached the bottom of the stairs. Chiru went automatically to the poker tables. Chisai rolled her eyes and went to where a boy with puffy, shoulder length hair sat playing the guitar on the floor. Chisai didn't go to close, not wanting him to stop as she watched him curiously. He seemed to concentrate on nothing but his playing. Chisai realized how much he was like her. An outcast of the world with a lot to give yet no one to listen.
JungShin had delivered Chisai and Chiru out of their misery of the world but for a small cost. They didn't mind the price. They were his assistants and had to do all his "dirty work." They looked around for new talent and worked under cover in three different gangs for the "big boss" though they hardly knew what the f**k anyone was talking about.
The boy finally stopped but seemed to be out of it, like he had a lot on his mind. He let his head fall back and closed his eyes. Chisai thought he looked very peaceful, and a little cute. She heard some laughter from behind her she turned around to see a few of the rival gang coming down the stairs. Chisai was in the room by her sister's side in a few seconds. The boys all came out of the rooms standing behind their leader. Jonghyun.
Chisai stood in front of Chiru to protect her identity from the gang members since this was the gang Chiru worked with. Taeil was in front of the group of boys next to their leader. He glanced at Chisai who glared at him. He turned away with a smirk. Chisai felt her hands clench. Then she felt Chiru's hand on hers telling her to relax. There was only five of the other gang members which meant they didn't want to fight. But still... What the hell are they doing here?
Chisai looked down at her watch impatiently as the two leaders talked in private with their "second in commands." No one was allowed to leave and it had already been two hours since they arrived. Chisai was late for her date and she wasn't to happy about it. It would be easy to sneak out, but she couldn't leave Chiru behind either. Chisai felt stuck and wanted to kill someone.
After another few minutes the leaders finally came out. Chisai sighed with relief before sucking her breath back in sharply. They all looked pissed. The other gang leader called his boys away angrily before climbing the stairs and disappearing. Chiru and Chisai exchanged worried looks. Everyone turned to Jonghyun who looked like he wanted to hit something. Chisai decided that she had other things to worry about. She quickly said bye to her sister before running up the stairs, grabbing her jacket and running down the streets. No one noticed her leave since they were all worried about Jonghyun. She really hoped Minhyuk would still be waiting for her!
Chiru was left behind with the gang. She knew that Jonghyun was being watched by "the big boss" and he might want to know what they were talking about in secret. She knew it would be easier if Chisai asked about it since it was obvious he liked her. Chiru caught him looking at her often but never said anything. Oh well. Not my problem right now. Chiru cautiously approached the group of boys surrounding Jonghyun. She took a deep breath and swallowed back her fear. She never did anything in this gang without Chisai. The other gang was easier since they connected with her personally. She didn't know a single thing about Chisai's gang but she never asked about it either. She shook away the distracting thoughts.
Jonghyun broke away from the group and came straight towards Chiru. She tensed before trying to look relaxed. "Where's your sister?"
"Chi- Chisai? She had something important to deal with. She should stop back by later tonight." Chiru forced her body to relax as she talked to him. Something about Jonghyun made her uncomfortable. He was too much like her and her sister.
He sighed before glancing back at the other boys really quick. "I see. Well tell her to be careful. I'll have a couple of the boys escort you home..."
Chiru felt a rush of anger before she asked, "Why do I need protecting? I'm a big girl! Don't think I can handle myself?"
Jonghyun turned to her with a surprised look. "It's not that Chiru... It's just that I don't know what the others might do to you... And I can't risk you or your sister being hurt."
Chiru gave him a cautious look before she carefully asked, "What did they say to you?"
He came closer before whispering, "They wanted something I couldn't give them. At first it was all casual... Then they asked for something very important to me saying it didn't belong to me... Then after I told them no they told me to be careful because whether I liked it or not they would take it from me..."
Chiru watched him walk away before wondering, what is so precious he wouldn't want to give it up? Then it hit her and she was running up the stairs. Someone called after her but she kept running. It might not be too late. Chisai jumped into the ally were Chisai had parked the car before jumping in and changing her clothes quickly. She got out and jumped on her bike which was parked right beside the car. It wouldn't take her long to get to the library but she just hoped she wasn't to late...
