"Hey, you should get some sleep.", Jisung said.

"I'll go to bed in a bit. It's just this assignment. This is the biggest one yet.", Chan replied.

"We got a new assignment?"

"Yeah. It's us versus the other family."

"Hmm. What do they want us to do?"

"A meeting. See if we can reach a common ground."

"Like that'll happen."

The door to Chan's office opened, and Little Minho walked in.

"Appa, I'm sleepy.", he whispered.

"I'm coming sweetie. Go lay down and wait for me.", Jisung replied.

Minho nodded, closing the door.

"I'll set up the meeting for tomorrow."

"This is dangerous Chris. I won't let you go alone."

"Thank you."

Jisung walked around Chan's desk. He put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Get some sleep please."

Chan nodded, watching Jisung leave the room.

The group of boys had been very close from young ages. They became known as "The Stray Kids", among gangs in the town.

They have all had their fair share of fights, arguments, and full scale territorial debates with other people. But over time, most of those people have learned not to mess with them.

Except for one group.

Chan got up, going out of the room.

He saw Changbin carrying a sleeping Felix.

"Oh, hi Chris."

"Hey."

"You look stressed. New assignment?"

"Yeah I'm organizing it now. Han wants to go with me."

"Be careful please. We don't want any incidents."

"Any incidents that occur would be on their side. But I'll try to avoid it."

"Good."

Changbin took Felix into the littles room.

Chan stood in the hallway, taking a deep breath and looking at the ceiling. He leaned against the wall.

"Let this go well. Please?"

"Chris!"

"Yeah?"

"I lost Hyunjin's pacifier!"

Chan let out a long sigh.

"One night of peace? No? I thought so."

--------------------------------------------------------------

It was time for the meeting with the other gang.

Chan and Jisung walked in the middle of their bodyguards, going inside of the meeting building.

They were greeted by the leader of the opposing gang, a man named Youngseo.

"Welcome. Chris, and Han."

"Thanks for having us.", Jisung replied.

"This way."

They were led to a meeting room with a long table.

Youngseo and his team sat on one side of the table, and Chris and Han sat on the opposite side.

"Now, I asked you here for a reason. We need to settle things."

"What is there to settle?", Chris asked.

"You know. An eye for an eye Chris. That's how the game is played."

"Eye for an eye? You killed several of our bodyguards, and put our families in danger."

"You killed my father, Chris."

"He tried to kill me. You think I was going to let him? Keep your family away from us, and we'll do the same."

"So you expect me to let this slide? Not avenge my father?"

"I expect you to have common sense, bit it seems like that's impossible for you."

Youngseo scoffed.

"Chris, you've been getting too high and mighty. You're human like the rest of us."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you have a weak spot. Just like I do. Like Han does."

Chris looked at Han, then back at Youngseo.

"You want this territory for yourself, and you're willing to take anyone down who dares to oppose you."

"Just like you?"

"Maybe. But you see Chris, I have ways of getting what I want. And what I want is to avenge my father, and the mem we've lost fighting you."

"And how do you plan on doing that, Youngseo?"

Youngseo took out a Manila folder, handing it to a bodyguard who handed it to Chris.

Chris opened it.

His and Han's eyes went wide at what was inside.

Dozens of photos of Minho, Hyunjin, and Felix. Dating back as many as a year.

Chris looked up at Youngseo, who smirked.

"Those boys are your life aren't they? They mean a lot to you?"

"Don't you dare."

"Or what? What will you do Chris? I have eyes on those boys right now. On all of you. How can you stop me?"

Han stood up.

"You lay a hand on those boys, and this will not end well."

"For me it will. But for them..."

Youngseo stood up as well.

"I can't promise I won't send them back the same way you sent my father."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Chan and Han ran into the home.

"Boys!", Han yelled.

"Appa!", Minho yelled.

"Appaaaaaa!", Felix yelled from the hallway.

Hyunjin quietly walked up to them, hugging them.

Felix and Minho jumped on them, getting peppered with kisses and love.

"How are you feeling Hyunjin?", Chan asked.

Hyunjin sneezed, being held by Chan.

"He's still a bit sick.", Jeongin said.

"I see. Aww my poor darling.", Chan said.

"How did the meeting go?", Changbin asked, coming from the kitchen.

All the boys gathered in the living room.

"Youngseo has it out for the littles.", Han said.

"What?!", Seungmin said.

"He wants to get revenge for his dad."

"We can't let him get to them. I refuse to get them involved.", Jeongin stated.

"I feel the same way. From now on, all eyes on the babies. Never leave them alone unless their sleeping.", Chan told them.

"For sure."

Hyunjin cuddled into Chan.

"Daddy~~"

"Yes sweetie?"

Hyunjin coughed a few times.

"It too hot. I have water?"

"I'll get it.", Seungmin said, getting up.

Chan slightly rocked the little, trying to make him feel better.

"We need to get more bodyguards.", Changbin said.

"I'll see where we can find some. I'm worried they may be planning something very soon.", Han said.

Minho sat on Jisung's lap.

"Appa, I got new toy today."

"What did you get angel?"

"I got toy car. And Lixie got dollies. Jinnie got stuffies."

"That's amazing baby."

Felix was walking around the living room.

"Looking for something baby chick?", Jeongin asked.

"I no have my shine shine!", the little said.

"Your star? Looks it's behind that pillow."

Felix collected his star plush, now sitting by Chan.

Seungmin came back with water for Hyunjin. Chan helped the little drink it.

"That's weird.", Changbin said.

"What is?", Chan asked.

Changbin picked up one of the littles toys.

It was a box made with holes that had certain shapes, and blocks to fit into those holes.

"This is a new toy. We didn't buy this for them."

"Oh!", Felix said, getting up and going to the toy, "My friend gave to me!"

"Who is your friend?", Chan asked.

"His name is Seomai! He really nice."

Chan looked at Changbin.

"Who is Seomai?", Han asked.

Changbin put the toy down.

"Youngseo's little brother. He's the same age as Felix and Hyunjin."

"And he knows our littles?"

"Yeah. He's one himself."

"I see where this is going.", Jeongin said, "And I do not like it."
