"I can't do shit about him either. Cards in the open, I work for the Min Clan. Obviously. Min Yoongi wants to find out what Minjun and you are like, because he doesn't like Cheon any more than we do." Hobi sighed, leaning against his desk. "But I'll be honest. I don't know what Min Yoongi will do. No one can ever know that, apart from Min Yoongi himself. What I can tell you is that a lot of people are unhappy with how much power and influence Cheon seems to have these days. They don't want him running things."
"Kangwoo doesn't notice sometimes. He's so busy trying to assimilate, he doesn't realise what's happening around him. He's finer details focused, not the bigger picture." He wanted so badly to be what he had come to term as 'normal' that he was trying to basically not be himself at all. "Kangwoo isn't half bad when he's not with Cheon. Basically just a nerd."
He liked Star Wars, he was a fitness geek and he talked pretty casually with Minjun sometimes. As long as Cheon didn't stir issues. "Every time he makes a move of his own that Cheon doesn't like, Cheon tells him he's the Min Clan bitch and provokes him until he goes back on it."
"Yeah. I guess that sounds... more or less as expected." Apart from the 'just a nerd' thing. "Cheon isn't the smartest, but he is just smart enough to be as cruel as he possibly can be." And that was the man who had Jimin. Hobi had to push the thought aside, because breaking down wouldn't help him get Jimin back.
"If it was up to me, I'd take Cheon out. You've seen what he's done to the man I love. I never even told him that I love him. He doesn't even know how much I want to save him." He couldn't even be sure he was alive. "But Cheon... Before your cousin was here, he was the second in command, right under Kangwoo. And often the one actually running things. Going against him, it would mean war. Min Clan would probably win, but... It's the same as your boyfriend wanting to take control. The children would be in danger."
"Minjun knows, that's why we don't want to take control. We want Kangwoo-hyung to stay who he should be and not be who Cheon wants him to be. And it's working." Lately, ever since he lost it at Tae, he was easing up some and Minjun was talking to him like, well, like a therapist. They would google therapy for autism and then sort of casually use it on Kangwoo. And it worked. Slowly, they were changing his mind but it was slow. Maybe too slow.
"I can't do anything about your boyfriend but I can ... I can find out if he's alive?" Maybe. If he was careful. He just couldn't use a name. "I'm going to tell Minjun this and we can discuss it. I-- I tell him everything, we have no secrets. We're equals."
"Good. Good to know." Hobi smiled a litte, a more true smile than some of his others, allowing the stress beneath the surface to show. He took a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair. "I know you and Minjun are just teenagers. Hell, none of us are all that old!"
It was so strange to think about that. "What I want you to realise is that you are not alone against the world. As far as I know, Min Yoongi wants to take out Cheon. Not Kangwoo. We have the same goal."
"To get rid of the pig." Ten nodded his head and then looked at his wrist again. "I can't agree to anything or promise much more. I'm just going to go home and talk to Minjun. And then -- then I'll see if I can find your boy." Ten bowed to Hobi and then smiled a little, awkward and unsure but trying.
"I'll come back. Same time next week." And that was all he was going to promise. "Don't screw me over."
"I wouldn't." Hobi bowed in turn, smiling and hiding his own awkwardness. This was where being a little older did come in handy. "I'm just glad I didn't scare you off. If everything goes well, maybe in a few, you can just come here with your boyfriend for a good time. No politics."
"Nah, he's too shy." Ten joked playfully with a small smile. "He doesn't seem it but trust me, he's not like me." He grinned a little, looking as youthful and young as he really was, backing off so he could head out into the club again. The idea of Minjun getting kinky here? Hilarious. He wanted to offer it to him.
