Jimin's heart rate sped up. He felt extremely nervous. Although he wasn't sure, it must have something to do with that strange music box.
"What on Earth is going on?!" Jungkook said out loud what everyone were thinking.
"We can't do anything just standing here ogling, lets go and see where we are." RM said, like the forever leader that he was. "And it seems like the store owner is part of the scheme," he added, noticing the old man's disappearance.
With the 7 members, each of the boys felt more secure and brave. Afterall, these were the people who've been together everyday for 6 years.
Together, they ran out of the store.
-------------------------------
7 boys with weird fashion sense suddenly ran out of a tiny, inconspicuous store on Main Street.
A chubby young man squinted at them, surprised that people were actually interested in that run down store. Those are probably just kids trying to fool around, he thought, or maybe, they are some old wheezers doing illegal business. He sighed, you can't even tell people's ages apart anymore.
This man is Bang Sihyuk, a lowly manager at the top entertainment company, JinHit. Although he had earned over 10 bachelor's degrees, this was just too commonplace in today's society. He had been so eager and excited to start his job at one of the most prestigious companies in the world 10 years ago; and 10 years later, he is still picking scraps from the bottom of the food chain.
Bang Sihyuk looked away and was about to walk away, when a fair, slim arm grabbed his bright blue blazer. When the hand touched the fabric, it suddenly shivered and contorted.
The manager sneered at the attempt. Who didn't know that the invisble laser that was electrified on to the outer clothing was common among the higher class? It is even more obvious that he wasn't to be trifled with when one saw the large "JinHit" logo that was woven on. After all, all of the employees at the company had some sort of prestige and privileges, even the lowest workers.
When Bang Sihyuk turned, he was surprised.
One of the 7 boys he saw before stood before him with his delicate face contorted in pain as he held his arm. He had silver hair.
Another boy with a hideous red coat ran over in panic and anger. "What did you do to him?"
Bang Sihyuk chuckled humorlessly, "I think the one who should explain yourself. How dare you grab my coat?! Do you know who I am?"
The boy looked confused. Another one came. So many boys! Bang Sihyuk thought.
The new boy scowled. " Yeah, we don't. You care to explain? It's not our fault we don't come from this place 'kay!?"
Bang Sihyuk once again became astonished. Not from Seoul? Then he quickly understood. No wonder. He scrutinized the boys in front of him closely. They were extremely tall and handsome, even amongst today's generation. They could become human models or trained to be idols. They would be immensely popular for their good looks. Very profitable!
It seems that god hasn't forsaken me, he thought.
All of the sudden, the man's attitude became much more patient and kind. "Well, I guess it is my fault. You can come to my house to learn to situate yourselves better in Seoul. In fact, I will take responsibility for my behavior by helping you gentlemen find very profitable jobs. Oh yes, you," he pointed to the boy who got hurt from touching the protective coat, "I have medicine at home to treat that arm." Bang Sihyuk finished it off with an amiable smile. He felt extremely proud of his act and choice of sophisticated words.
The 7 boys were in shock of the sudden change. They felt shivers down their spine when they saw the man's smile.
Bang Sihyuk walked away elegantly. "You may call me Hitman Bang."
