all gathered Zack, Vasco, Jay, Vin, Jace, Mary, Mira, Zoe, and Hana.
Zack stood in the center, His voice broke the silence "There's been some kind of post going around on social media," he said To Jace, his tone heavy "Pictures of Mira, Mary, and Zoe."
the girls were angry about it.
Jace Park leaned back in his chair, one leg crossed over the other, He let out a slow hum, thinking "Hmm… I've seen this kind of thing before."
"It's the Hostel," Jace said "One of the major crews in Seoul."
"The Hostel." Vasco said, His face darkened.
Jace nodded slightly looking the confused faces "Hostel is a major crew based in Seoul, in Gangdong."
Zoe's hands clenched into fists "So you're saying they're the ones spreading those photos?"
"maybe or maybe not." Jace replied.
Jace's expression darkened "If I had to guess… it's the Runway Fam,They do 'content leaks,' fake sales, and street-level scams, It fits their pattern."
Vasco slammed his fist into his palm, veins bulging in his forearm "Those bastards."

Before he could say more, Jace turned his gaze toward Minsoo "Speaking of which," he began "There's something else I think everyone here should know."
Jace exhaled slowly "It's about your little brother, Sun-ho."
The moment he said it, everyone in the room perked up, Zack, Mira, Zoe, and Vasco looked at Jace expectantly.
Jace's eyes flicked between them before continuing "I didn't think I'd have to say this, but… Sun-ho," He leaned forward, his tone quiet "He's the vice leader of the God Dogs one of the major crews in Seoul."
"Wait, what?!" Zack blurted.
Zoe's eyes widened in shock.
Even Vasco froze, his eyes wide.
Minsoo's expression was unreadable he said "He's been keeping it quiet for a while, Didn't want to drag me Into it."
Jay tilted his head slightly.
Jace nodded "It also means he's got connections, If Hostel's involved, Sun-ho's crew might already be aware, The God Dogs have been moving in Gangbuk recently it's possible their operations have clashed with Hostel before."
The room went silent again, everyone processing the information.
Then Jace leaned back, continuing his explanation "But still, this feels more like Runway Fam's style, They've been doing scams like this for a while, targeting girls, manipulating images, selling fake accounts, and leaking edited photos for clout, They prey on anyone with a following, That's who we're dealing with."
Daniel, who'd been silent until now "Runway Fam, I'll do it" he said.
Daniel looked up "I'll join them, I was homeless Recently, I can blend in, find out who's behind the scam, and stop it from spreading."
Everyone went quiet.
Then Zack stood up beside him his Face clearly Anger, "I'm going too."

"Count me in, If they're hurting people, I'm not letting it slide." Vasco stood.

Minsoo stood "Count me in," his gaze toward Mary "Can't let anyone to do that, to my best friend Mary."
Mary Kim, almost looked stunned, then she smiled.
Jace eyes widened slightly at their determination Then, after a moment, he smiled faintly "You guys haven't changed at all."
He stood up, sliding his hands into his pockets "Alright then, Runway Fam operates Everywhere in Gangdong, under Hostel's Influence If you're going in, you're going deep into Major Crews Things, So be ready and Careful."
Daniel looked around, Zack, Vasco, Vin, and the rest, all of them sharing that same expression and anger.
Daniel said, his tone serious "We're going after Runway Fam."

Zack With angry Expression "Yeah, Let's clean up this mess."
As the group prepared to move.
And somewhere far from them in Gangbuk, Sun-ho muttered "Runway Fam, So it's starting."
----
The sound of chatter Inside the God Dogs base, members moved around, cleaning up the aftermath of the fight Yesterday, the tables filled with food and bandages.
Near the center table, Hajun, Sechan, Jaeha, Haru, Choyun, and the God Dogs Daniel sat together with Suhyeon's gang members, eating instant ramen and talking, Their jackets were half-open, bandages visible underneath.
Jaeha rubbing the back of his neck "That first-generation crew wasn't a joke."

Choyun, sipping tea.
Sechan laughed "Hajun, you were the first one to run when those guys with bats showed up against you."
"Hey," Hajun snapped, his chopsticks down "That was a strategic retreat..."
Everyone burst into laughter, Choyun hiding a smile behind his cup.
Not far from them, in another corner of the base, Johan Seong leaned against the Chair Beside him Suhyeon Kim arms crossed and Sun-ho, looking out into the distance with his usual expression.
Johan began "We've crushed the first generation That's Nice, but Jin Jang Said, He feels like something bigger coming."
Suhyeon nodded "It always does, When one falls, another rises, That's how this world works."
Sun-ho stayed silent for a moment before finally speaking "We'll rest for now, Let the crew rest and recover, Everyone's exhausted."
Sun-ho turned to Johan "You're thinking about Hostel, aren't you?"
Suhyeon looked at both of them "Hostel's been stirring up trouble in Seoul."
Sun-ho exhaled "Yeah, we heard about that Some kind of fake picture scam."
Johan Looked at Both "Then we should go now and end it before it gets worse."
But Sun-ho placed a hand on Johan's shoulder "Not yet," he said "Don't interfere at Hostel's side for now."
Johan looked at him, confused "Why not?"
"Because," Suhyeon interrupted calmly the looked at Sun-ho "Someone else is already moving toward them, Right Sun-ho."
Sun-ho's eyes toward him.
Sun-ho nodded "Yeah."
Suhyeon leaned "We'll be watching closely, If things get out of control, we'll step in."
Sun-ho nodded.
Sun-ho nodded once again "We've fought too many pointless Fights already This time, we move smart, and Johan you just recently Got Eye Surgery, so you rest more then anyone else."
Johan sighed, looking down at his bruised knuckles "Guess you're right."
