[Gangdong, Hostel A's Base]
"Guys from J-High have invaded again! They're all over Gangdong!"
The room fell silent.
Both Uncles froze, the words sinking in.
The last time those J-High brats came, the so-called "uncles of Hostel A" barely left with their pride intact.
Then, a voice broke the tension.
"Is he here?"
All eyes turned toward the couch.
Olly Wang, eyes half-open.
The subordinate swallowed hard "No news on him, Daddy But Eli Jang is on his way with Warren Chae."
The moment the name left his lips, Olly's eyes opened and alive, like a beast waking up.
"Oh?" His grin widened further "So my idea worked."
He stood, stretching his arms lazily "Let them come, I've been waiting for this, my whole life."
----
[Three Hours Later]
The streets of Gangdong burned with Battles.
Above it all, on a low-rise rooftop that overlooked the madness, stood Minsoo and Hana.
Hana's long hair fluttered against the wind "Shouldn't you stop them?" she asked.
Minsoo's hands were in his coat pockets His expression calm.
"Why should I interfere with weaklings?" he replied "Besides, this is an important moment for them."
"Important? They're tearing each other apart."
Minsoo exhaled "Growth doesn't happen in peace, Hana, People only rise when they've been broken once."
He turned slightly, eyes glinting "And I'm not here to save anyone."
'Maybe.'
"Then why are we here?"
Minsoo looked down at her, a smirk at his lips "Maybe for fun, who knows?"
"Fun?" Hana's voice raised, disbelief.
"Relax," he said casually "You know if I interfere too early, it creates a butterfly effect Everything changes, people who were supposed to grow, won't, So we're here just in case things cross the line."
He paused "And you know, Johan sent executives to check on this mess, If they tries to step in, I'll stop them."
"Then why bring me along?" she asked, turning her eyes back to him.
Minsoo's gaze on her.
"Because you need to see it," he said "You need to understand what this world really is There will come a time when you will be needed, when the people you see fighting now will become either allies or enemies, Some will try to kidnap you, Hana, just to keep me occupied."
Hana blinked "What?"
"That's why I'm training you," Minsoo said "What you're seeing now, this chaos, it's only the tip of the iceberg."
His voice dropped "You'll see soon enough."
The sound of engines broke their conversation.
Down the street, two figures appeared, wearing a black jacket with the God Dogs emblem on their back, Yugyeom Na and Daniel.
"They're here." Hana said, narrowing her eyes.
"Yeah, Guess I'll have to stretch a bit."
....
Minsoo appeared front of them.
"You two look like you're heading somewhere you shouldn't."
Daniel frowned "We're going to stop the fight, There's no reason for this to continue."
He added "You may have your reasons, but this is our problem, Stay out of it."
Minsoo tilted his head
"Interesting," he murmured "So, you want to 'stop the fight.' But tell me,"
He took a step forward, his voice dropping cold.
"what makes you think you can?"
Daniel's brows furrowed "Get out of the way, or we will have to bring you back to senses."
Minsoo smiled.

Before either of them could react.
Minsoo blurred, His movements were impossible to track with their eyes.
BAM! BAM!
fists slamming into flesh.
In the blink of an eye, Daniel and Yugyeom were both sent skidding backward, Their chests burned the pain from Minsoo's fists, the force behind it was heavy.
Kyokushin.
Daniel staggered back, gasping, his eyes wide "What the hell."
Yugyeom clenched his jaw, shaking off the shock, but Minsoo was already there again standing relaxed, one hand in his pocket, the other resting casually at his side.
"I told you," he said "If you underestimate me, you'll regret it."
Yugyeom lunged this time, throwing a heavy kick, aimed straight at Minsoo's ribs.
Minsoo didn't move.
At the last second, he shifted his body just The kick brushed past his coat harmlessly
Then
WHACK!
A lightning-fast counterpunch crashed into Yugyeom's jaw, followed by a smooth Kyokushin strike into his abdomen, The impact cracked the air.
Yugyeom dropped to one knee, coughing blood.
Daniel rushed his stance perfect, his Taekwondo footwork He spun for a roundhouse kick, yes he learned Taekwondo because, not everytime Aikido can help.
But Minsoo caught his leg mid-air.
Then, with calm precision, he twisted his hips and swept flipping him onto the ground.
Daniel groaned, stunned.
"Don't get me wrong," he said "You're both are strong together But, Coming at me 1v1 is a bad idea."
[5 Minutes Later]
The cracked ground showed the aftermath of the fight.
Daniel and Yugyeom Na lay sprawled across the broken pavement, bodies stiff, unable to even lift an arm, Their clothes were torn, their lips and face bloodied.
They weren't just defeated, they were crushed like paper.
Across from them, was Minsoo Ji-Seop.
His coat lay tossed aside on the ground, Wearing a black turtleneck, faint scratches on the fabric, a cut on his lip dripped a thin line of blood.
He turned his head and spat a splash of red onto the ground.
Minsoo looked like he had just warmed up.
Calm for someone who fought two elite executives of God Dog members at once.
Minsoo rotated his shoulder, feeling the dull ache, Then he clicked his tongue.
"A shame." he said finally.
Daniel blinked "W..what?"
Minsoo looked down at both of them, impressed.
"I'm actually impressed by your duo combo," he said, wiping the corner of his mouth with his thumb "Your timing, coordination… it's best I've seen in the second generation so far."
Yugyeom's jaw tightened.
Minsoo stepped closer His shadow fell over them both.
He crouched down, resting one arm casually on his knee.
"But it's a shame your opponent is me." Minsoo gave a short chuckle.
"If it was another opponent, the job here would've already been done."
He extended both hands.
Daniel and Yugyeom froze, shocked.
Minsoo sighed "Come on, Get up."
He grabbed Daniel by the arm and pulled him upright effortlessly, Daniel coughed, barely able to stand even with Minsoo's support.
Then he did the same with Yugyeom, who humbled at the same time.
Then Daniel forced himself to meet Minsoo's eyes.
"Why help us?" Daniel asked.
"Because," he said "You're Sun-ho's people."
Daniel and Yugyeom stiffened.
Minsoo took a slow breath "I'm his big brother."
Silence.
Daniel's mind blanked, Yugyeom's lips parted in shock.
"No way," Daniel whispered "Both brothers monsters."
Daniel said "Did you taught him?"
"No," Minsoo said "He learned everything on his own, I only taught him how to survive."
He adjusted his turtleneck, grabbed his coat, and slung it over his shoulder.
Daniel spoke hesitantly. "What do we do now?"
"Just get out," Minsoo replied simply "I'm solving Gangdong."
He began to walk away.
Before he completely turned his back, he said "And Daniel,"
Daniel lifted his head.
"Tell Johan, that Sun-ho's brother is Taking care of Hostel B."
Daniel nodded.

[Rooftop]
Olly Wang stood in the center, the wind pushing his hair back, His clothes were torn, knuckles bleeding, but his grin remained wide and animalistic.
Facing him was, Eli Jang, Warren Chae, Hostel B's uncles.
All bruised, bleeding,Olly had beaten them.
Eli wiped blood from his mouth, Warren's eye was little swollen, and even the uncles stumbled just trying to stay up.
But Olly, Something else was stirring in him.
"Why," Olly murmured, touching his chest with two fingers "Why don't I feel fear?"
He looked at Warren Chae, protective, desperate to keep Sally Park safe.
Sally stood behind him, trembling, behind Warren's back, Her worry was obvious.
This feeling in his chest… It wasn't terror.
"Funny," Olly whispered, voice rough "I always thought it was fear, but it was nothing but guilt,"
"Guilt of heather."
He tilted his head toward the sky above, Clouds drifted overhead.
He just looked up at the sky.
Eli exhaled deeply, wiping sweat from his brow.
The wind blew harder across the rooftop And Olly Wang whispered "So this is what I've been Figuring out."
Then the door of the rooftop opened, a guy, 185 cm tall, with black hair and black eyes, wearing a coat, beside him a girl who looked otherworldly beautiful.
"Perfect time." the guy said.
