Amethyst

Midnight Howl

Amethyst is a stone that assists in attaining wisdom.

 

Tao crossed his legs as he sipped at his tea, "Babe, that man is sooo boring. If he was a spice, he would be flour."

Yixing's eyes widened but Jongin let out a cackle, "So true! Boss is one to always stick to the schedule."

Yixing couldn't believe what Tao and Jongin were saying, "B-But he's a mafia lord! He hunts other gangs, how could he possibly be boring?"

Tao waved a dismissive hand, "I'm not talking about what he does, I'm just saying, in general when he's with other people...he tends to bore them. We don't say anything because we respect boss."

Jongin snorted, "More like, scared less."

Tao whacked Jongin on the shoulder, "Whatever, it's too early in the morning to be attacked. I'm off on a jog."

With that, the lean male placed his empty cup of tea in the sink and headed out the front door. Yixing wished he could go too but Kris wasn't so eager to let Yixing out. And, it was time for Jongin to start his lessons.

The black haired male smiled, "You ready?"

Yixing took a deep breath, "As ready as I can be."

Oh dear lord he wasn't ready at all. Yixing was practically wheezing as he threw more punches at the red punching bag. His hands were on fire. Pain shot up his arms every time his gloved hand came in contact with the sand filled bag.

"That's it, right...left... underhook." Jongin was clapping, keeping the speed of which Yixing was throwing punches.

It wasn't that Yixing was out of shape.

Quite the contrary actually. Yixing was very toned, sported a faint six pack (thanks to dance and his recreational swimming) and he had very high stamina. Jongin just knew how to push Yixing to the limits.

Finally, after three gruesome hours, Jongin called quits. Yixing borderline collapsed on the mat, his chest heaving up and down as he tried to catch his breath.

Jongin peered at him, "You alright?"

Yixing coughed, "I think...I think one of my lungs collapsed an hour ago."

Jongin laughed as he held out a hand for Yixing to take. The dimpled male grabbed it gratefully and pulled himself up with Jongin's help.

"Better get used to it," Jongin warned, "It'll only get harder from here."

Yixing let out a groan.

Even though Yixing complained the whole time, he was thankful for Jongin. He was happy the tanned male was helping him in something others wouldn't.

But dear lord his body was sore. Jongin stayed in the gym, claiming that he still needed to work out (which boggles Yixing's mind). The dimpled male slowly made his way to the elevator. His legs ached and his arms felt like jelly. Hell, his hands were shaking uncontrollably as he tried to press the '0' button on the elevator.

But slowly, Yixing made his way to his own bedroom and into his bathroom. Ignoring the knocks on his door, he slid into the bath.

It was only an hour later that Yixing made his way downstairs. It was well past ten at that point but the dimpled male simply couldn't bring himself to care. With his hair still wet and sticking to the back of his neck, Yixing snuck into the kitchen, looking for some breakfast.

"Yixing?"

Yixing screamed as a sudden voice startled him, the tea bag in his hand flying up into the air. The black haired male turned to see Xiumin standing behind him, his face twisted into an amused expression.

"Did I scare you?" The brown haired male asked, bending down to pick the tea bag that the latter dropped. Yixing scoffed, "Nah...I meant to do that."

Xiumin grinned, "Right."

Yixing took the tea bag from Xiumin and popped it into his mug of hot water. The older male leaned against the kitchen counter, eyebrow raised, "Did you have a late start?"

Yixing shook his head, "No, Jongin's been he-" He froze. Maybe it was best to keep the lessons with Jongin a secret.
"I mean...yea."

Xiumin looked skeptical but accepted the answer anyways, "Well, Han is looking for you."

Yixing sipped at his tea, "Where is he?"

Xiumin turned around and peered out the kitchen windows, "I think he's in the garden, out back."

Yixing smiled and gave Xiumin a tight, one armed hug, "Thanks Xiu. Oh! By the way, good morning!!"

The older male laughed and repeated the greeting, even though their conversation was over. Yixing pushed open the glass door to the backyard and stepped onto the wet grass, disregarding the fact that it was wet.

He walked towards the ash blond male who was sitting on a swing hung from a tall branch.

"LuLu!"

The said male turned and smiled widely when he saw his best friend walking towards him. He patted his lap when Yixing got closer. Yixing obeyed and sat on the latter's lap.

"Morning Xing-Xing." Lu chirped happily.

Yixing sipped his tea some more, "Morning...why were you looking for me?"

Luhan shrugged, "I stopped by your room around eight, you weren't there. Which is weird because the Yixing I know will not get out of bed before nine, no matter what."

Yixing stiffened but tried to play it off, "I just woke up early and decided to go for a walk."

"You're not allowed outside the mansion, besides the garden."

Yixing bit his tongue, he was never good at lying, "Well, walking around the mansion and stuff...."

Luhan hummed, "Right."

It was obvious that Luhan didn't believe him but Yixing knew his best friend wouldn't push it. Luhan knew that, if he needed to know something, Yixing wouldn't hesitate to tell him.

So the dimpled male decided to change the topic, "Hey LuLu?"

"Yea babe."

"What do you do? I mean, I know Kris is the boss, but are you a boss too?" Yixing bit his lip, thinking about how he should word his question better, "When Sehun was first showing me around, everyone stayed out of our way and they obeyed him. So...is he a boss too?"

Luhan nodded slowly, "Kind of? Kris is our overall leader. He takes care of all the finances and missions and tells us what to focus on. But he can't do everything himself, especially since we have over a hundred members."

Luhan paused, "So he appointed ten others to be in charge of specific things. So there's a council of eleven, including Kris."

Yixing's mouth formed an 'o' as he took in the information, "So what are you in charge of?"

Luhan grinned, "Me? I make sure everyone's gadgets are working well. After a mission, they might be beat up, or broken and it's my job to fix them. Sometimes I'm even the eyes and ears of an operation."

Yixing's eyes widened, he had no idea his best friend was such a badass.

"Wow! Amazing! What does Xiumin do?"

Luhan laughed at Yixing's amazement, "Well, Xiumin is the one that takes care of overseas relationships . He's our main dealer."

Yixing was dumbfounded. This mafia group was so much more organized then Yixing thought. And they had more resources and outreach then Yixing expected.

And he wanted to know more, "Tell me about the others!"

Luhan couldn't help but laugh once more at the younger's enthusiasm, "Okay, well, Junmyeon is Kris's second in charge."

Yixing nodded, it was quite obvious. The male was short but had such a big heart. He constantly checked up on Yixing, asking if he wanted something...anything. He also kept Yixing company and talked about what was happening in the outside world. The male even visited Yixing's grandmother, making sure she was alright.

Luhan continued, "Kyungsoo and Chanyeol work in the lab. They are the ones that make our tech." Luhan scrunched his nose in disgust, "If they aren't each other's faces off."

Yixing giggled at the latter's expression. Chanyeol and Kyungsoo were an odd bunch. Kyungsoo was gentle and quiet with Yixing but with the others he was quite violent at times, especially with Chanyeol. Which was weird because Yixing had walked in on them kissing too many times to count.

They were also quite different from everyone else because sometimes Baekhyun would be with Chanyeol or other times Baekhyun would be with Kyungsoo.

Their whole relationship gave Yixing a headache but he didn't judge. Because the three made each other happy and Yixing guesses that's all that matters.

Luhan took Yixing's silence as a sign to continue, "Baekhyun and Jongin manage Midnight Howl."

Yixing frowned, "What's Midnight Howl?"

"The nightclub Kris owns. It's a front to our whole operation. We make a lot of deals there with other mafia bosses and we use the profit to fund our operation here."

Yixing nodded.

"Yea, its great! Jongin and Sehun dance there almost regularly."

Yixing's eyes widened at the word 'dance'.

"Oh Lu Ge please can I go with them?! I want to dance so bad!"

Luhan frowned, "Xing...this is a nightclub. Sehun and Jongin dance decently but still....a lot of bad people hang out there."

Yixing pouted, "I want to go."

Luhan sighed, knowing there was no refusing Yixing, "I'll ask Boss okay? No promises."

Yixing smiled widely and set his mug down on the ground. He then turned and hugged Luhan tightly, "Oh thank you Lu! Thank you thank you!"

Luhan chuckled as he patted Yixing's back, "It's no problem babe, just don't get disappointed when Kris says no."

Yixing nodded obediently.

"Now where was I?"

"Sehun and Jongin. What does Jongdae and Tao do?"

Luhan hissed, "Well um...Jongdae...Jongdae works with weapons. He's our weapons expert, spends a lot of time in the armory or the shooting range."

Yixing looked at Luhan expectedly, "Well? What about Tao?"

Luhan was hesitant to answer, "Tao...He's a hitman."

Yixing froze, "A hit man...?"

"An assassin, hit man, whatever you call it."

Yixing was surprised. He had no idea Tao had such a gruesome job. The lean male was so nice to Yixing and spoiled him endless in compliments and sweet nicknames. But in an odd way, it made sense.

The first time Yixing saw Tao, he had shot three people without blinking an eye. How long had he been killing people to be that unphased?

Luhan quickly continued on, wanting to take Yixing's mind off of the gruesome topic, "Sehun is a con man."

Yixing snorted, "Of course he is."

Luhan chuckled, "I'm serious! Don't believe a word out of that orange haired noodle. That man could probably talk Kyungsoo into baking him all sorts of goodies."

Yixing's eyes widened. Kyungsoo refused to bake for others. ( "I'm not a ing slave, you can take that macaroon and shove it up your ." )

Luhan nodded, "Yup, Sehun could convince anyone of anything."

Yixing smiled.

 Convince anyone of anything. 


 


 

"Sehun?!"

"Yea sugar."

The orange haired male looked up. He was currently cleaning out his gun, the separate pieces of the weapon laid out in front of him. Yixing was leaning against the doorway to the latter's room, "Sehunnie can I dance with you and Jongin?"

Sehun raised an eyebrow at the sudden use of a cute nickname, "Yea...I guess. Give me a minute and then we can head down to the studio."

Yixing shook his head, "No. I wanna dance with you and Jongin, at Midnight Howl."

Sehun nearly dropped his gun, "What?!"

Yixing nodded, "I wanna see it please? I haven't dance in sooo long, I miss it. Please sehunnie please please please?" He was trying his best to look cute for the orange haired male. His eyes glistening, his lips curled into a small pout, Sehun couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright. But Boss has to agree."

Yixing nodded, "Of course! You can ask him!"

"Do you think I have a death wish?"

Yixing pouted some more.

Sehun sighed, "Alright fine. But if Boss kills me, you are not allowed to get my room."
