"in the middle of a gunfight," hyunsuk started explaining, apparently he was supposed to be a member of this stupid 'treasure' unit of the seoul prison, while he would much rather being hearing the gossip of na jaemin and lee donghyuck's arson charge.
"i was the accomplice, you know how it is. my 'buddy' ran away from the police came." he continued, watching as the eleven other faces in the room stared at him, unimpressed. this was gonna be awhile. a long long sentence.
"i should've done that.." one of the others grumbled. he looked pretty cute, hyunsuk thought. receiving a slap from the smiling boy next to him.
"total dick move, wouldn't reccommend. and the bastard said that he was my accomplice!" the eldest cursed loudly, causing most of them to break out in fits of laughter.
"what about you, losers? why are you stuck in this hell hole?" hyunsuk deflected, glancing around the circle and making eye-contact with dirty blonde hair.
"jihoon. park jihoon." the boy introduced rolling his eyes as he pointed at the boy next to him, "this, idiot, is kanemoto yoshinori. in the center of a restauraunt, they said 'come with your arms raised high', we matched the description for a stolen car, because well...we-we stole it."
yoshinori cursed, punching the elder lightly, "fucking loser, he said 'well theyre never gonna get me' running like a bullet through a flock of doves. tripped up the stairs, we both burst out laughing, got cuffed immediatley."
"well, my cellmates a killer! me- an innocent little guy who might of been running an illegal drug deal to pay for his hyung's cancer treatment- gets put in a cell with a killer! he makes me do push-ups in drag! PUSH-UPS! PUSH-UPS GODDAMNIT!" the smiley kid started ranting, standing up and pacing around over and over again, "do you know how bloody hard it is to do pushups?"
"cool it, david." his friend- hyunsuk presumed- whined rolling his eyes.
"ya! my names junkyu, rude much!" the smiley boy yellled.
"so junkyu, what did you do that you have to do push-ups in drag?" yet another boy, he seemed so innocent so young, it seemed sad to hyunsuk, he'd really have to learn how to take care of these young looking kids.
"nobody cares if you're losing myself... i don't know if i am losing myself? i miss my mom....cuz you know i killed her out of self defense i think." junkyu giggled, eyes shaking as he spoke, "she was such a bitch, you know? she's trying to get me on death row, give me the chair? lethal injection? swing from a rope?"
"well, enough about me! what about you, mama?" he asked, glancing over to his friend.
"nobody knows all thee troubles i've seen.." the male said, "takata mashiho, i'm from japan...my mom and dad tried to kill each other, got traumatized and ran away to seoul. but a gun at 13, wanted to be reliant on only myself, misfired one day, shot an old woman, she didn't die thank god but now i'm stuck in here."
"japan?" three boys spoke up at the same time, all glancing at each other.
"yeah, japan. who's next? what about you, yoon?"
"well, my story is not as impressive as the others, but uh my name is yoon jaehyuk. i-i got arrested for having sex with a guy, i shouldn't be in here for too long....hopefully i'm not really sure how long my sentence...." jaehyuk explained, letting his hair fall into his face. "we were just two men as god had made us....it's stupid, someone else go, what about you, the one with blonde hair?"
"hamada asahi." the boy mumbled, "too much, too late. drugs, you know?" asahi explained, "overdosed, survived, got arrested for possesion, ended up here. that's it, and you, the small one with the dark hair?"
"me?" a smaller boy asked shyly, he was blushing wildly.
"yeah, you." asahi nodded, smirking at the younger.
"uh, my-my name is yedam. bang yedam." the boy smiled, he seemed to be one of the oldest of the younger kids, the first of the innocent and child-like kids. "i-uh-i got arrested for stealing a car with doyoung-ah...we-we just wanted to have a little fun, and it was actually his brothers care but we didnt have the keys so we hot-wired it. his brother was actually really cool about it but his parents- his parents pressed charges. now, we're stuck here." yedam explained, glaring lightly at the small boy next to him.
"i'm kim doyoung, the idiot who stole his brothers car and got him and his best friend arrested. and trust me- trust me- i here enough about it from yedamie, thank you!" doyoung laughed, reciving a light punch from yedam.
"wantabe haruto." a kid with a deeper voice started to speak, "mines not quite as impressive as stealing a car, i just shop-lifted some drugs underage." haruto laughed, a soft smirk on his lips.
"how old are you!?" hyunsuk and jihoon exclaimed loudly, in unison.
"i'm 16, how old are you?" haruto giggled again, he was quite the charmer. it was driving a certain park jeongwoo insane.
"i'm 22!" hyunsuk yelled, while at the same time jihoon had yelled, "i'm 21!"
"ugh, old people." haruto rolled his eyes, glancing at the boy next to him and winking.
"and you, cutie? why are you here?" he asked, glancing at the blushing boy.
"ugh, my name is- my name is- jeongwoo. my name is jeongwoo. park jeongwoo. i'm 16 t-too. i- i- i was-was at this party- you know the type where your punch gets drugged, and some asshole tries to get in your pants and he does but then when you report him for drugging you get arrested- so yeah a party!" jeongwoo explained, stuttering and watching as the 11 boys around him seemed to get angrier. "did i- did i- did i do something wrong?"
"what? no of course not! we're just- just mad because this guy sounds like a total dickhead and he should be the one in jail." haruto explained, talking for the group, hoping he was correct.
"oh-oh okay, uhm what about you? small one?" jeongwoo quickly changing the focus.
"oh, my name is junghwannie- oops! junghwan, just junghwan! i'm 15 which is fun i geuss, i've been in here for about a year now, i-i was helping my dad get his drugs and alcohol, under age possesion and shit. so now i'm in here for a little while!" junghwan started, glancing around, he had never seen this many people seeming like they cared about him.
"you-you've been here for the longest?" jihoon mumbled...he thought they were all new faces.
"no, no, yedam-hyung is, he got on parole for a while but now he's back." junghwan explained, causing multiple faces to snap to yedam.
"oh, yeah." yedam mumbled lightly, "what do you want an explination?" yedam joked.
it was completely silent. eyes are staring into him deeply, practicial burning holes into him.
"well, you know what they do to guys like us in prison."
