☾ Deadlands

@Yunho The sudden anger in Yunho's eyes caught Baekho by surprise. What was wrong with what he had said? But before he had the time to get any words out, the man had caught him by the collar, giving him a punch that sent his head back reeling. The man's fist came fast time and time again, hitting Baekho in the gut until he no longer managed to gasp in breaths. He felt his knees give in and slumped down in front of the other man.
The black spots in his vision were back, massive this time, quickly drowning out his vision. He fell forwards in the sand, still breathing but completely blacked out.

@☾ Baekho Yunho was pretty much in shock when he heard the words the other used, it sounded like she was sleeping around with him, and it shocked him too much that he caught the boy now from his collar, punching his face hard again. "You slept together and you said you are just friend? how could you use her like that?!" The anger took all the control over Yunho as he started to beat the younger boy up, punching him again as he couldn't believe this boy, he might looked very innocent but he wasn't like that at all.

@Yunho Baekho didn't know what to answer the man's question with. He shrugged his shoulders, arching a brow. "She's nice company," he admitted, not thinking much about the words he chose. "She always manages to calm me down when she curls up next to me when we sleep."

@☾ Baekho Yunho looked at the other boy quietly, crossing his arms. "I'm Yunho, Jung Yunho." The tall said, he knew Minah made her own choices, but it didn't mean he was going to let anyone hurt her. "Whatever.." The tall said upset, he was hurt by the thought she didn't want him around anymore. "So what do you want from her?" The guard asked, looking into his eyes with cold look.

@Yunho Baekho swallowed heavily. "Look, I get you care about her. I do too. I would never hurt her," he said, feeling fear surge up in him. "Whoever you are... I'm sure Minah appreciates you caring... But she is a woman. She can make her own choices," Baekho explained.

@☾ Baekho Yunho sighed and crossed his arms when he listened to what the other had to say. "Look, I don't know what's your name and who you are..but if you respect her, don't go to her tent in such hour if you don't want others to get the wrong ideas." The tall said annoyed, he didn't like the other boy at all, especially not the idea he said Minah didn't tell anything about him, maybe she was ashamed to be close to him? That thought really made Yunho feel sad.

@Yunho "T-then stop worrying like she's your little sister," Baekho answered, feeling that maybe he was taking a slightly brutal approach. "She's a grown woman. I get that you care for her; I do too... But... You can't go around beating up people because they talked to her." He could feel his jaw aching a little, knowing it would definitely leave a bruise.

@☾ Baekho Yunho kept looking at the other boy, now scanning him, trying to understand what that boy had that he didn't. sure maybe he was handsome, but he himself were very handsome also, he had more muscles, he was taller, so what was Minah seeing in that guy anyway? The tall looked a bit confused from the question. "I do love her, she is like my little sister." Yunho said without even blinking, he always remembered her as younger girl, with her cute smile, of course she will get attention from other guys, but it was so upsetting.

@Yunho Eying the man cautiously, Baekho slowly lowered his fists again. There was still something intimidating by his stature, something in his eyes that said he could beat the life out of Baekho without a second thought of hesitance. And what? All this because he had told Minah he was going to borrow Arrow?
He could taste the blood still seeping from the cut in his lips. It felt bruised, but nothing he couldn't handle.
"So... All this because of Minah....?" Baekho asked, picking his words more cautiously as he spoke. "Do you love her?"

@☾ Baekho who*

@☾ Baekho Yunho looked at the other trying to defend himself, chuckling a bit. "Seriously, relax, how do you think help you wake up? when only the tow of us in here?" The tall rolled his eyes, running his fingers between his hair, he was still very pissed, and hurt, how could it be that Minah never mentioned him? She was a family to him but it felt like Minah's was slipping from his fingers when he saw that new guy, maybe he indeed was important to her, and if it was true, it was good thing that he help him get back to his senses.

@Yunho Baekho's head was booming with pain when he finally opened his eyes again, finding himself on the ground. The tall man from earlier was still hovering over him, making Baekho jolt back in surprise, struggling to his feet to defend himself. Who even was this guy? Why was he picking a fight with him?

@☾ Baekho Yunho looked at him quietly, he didn't expect the boy to faint just because some small punch like he gave him. well , it wasn't a small one, but still. The tall caught the boy before his body hit the ground, signing a bit, why the hell he needed to take care of a boy that did such a stupid things like visit his precious Minnie's tent in such odd hour, giving others the wrong idea. Yunho just sighed, lifting his legs up so he would wake up when he gave him some water, looking at him he waited for the boy to wake up, after all that fragile boy was in his tribe.

@Yunho Baekho could feel the effects of Yunho's punch setting in. His head felt heavy, the other man's words more muffled than before. "It's good that... someone takes care...." he mumbled, the black spots in his vision growing bigger. "Of her..." Baekho could feel his legs giving out under him, slowly sliding down onto his knees.

@☾ Baekho Yunho listened quietly to the boy, Minah never told him about knowing someone for years, how could it be? The tall felt confused, and sad. ""By visiting her tent in early hour so people will think bad things on her?" The guard asked him with sad but still angry voice, it could be possible that she taken care of that guy, after all he didn't look any strong to him. "I'm not a lap dog, she is precious to me, you little idiot.. and if you "care" so much about her, you should be happy that someone like me takes care of her." Yunho said and rolled his eyes, but it hurt, how could it be also that she never mentioned him? Maybe he wasn't important to her like he thought, and it really broke his heart.

@Yunho Baekho could just about make out the other man's voice, muffled, as if he was shouting over a crowd. "I..." he started before stopping, spitting the blood from his busted lip onto the sand. "I've known her for a couple of years. She's taken care of me and I'm trying to repay her that favor," he slowly tried explaining, thinking that this guy was beyond reasoning. "Didn't think she had some insane lap dog to follow her around. At least she never mentioned it."

@☾ Baekho "Now would you answer me or should I hurt you more?!" The tall said quite annoyed, gripping his collar again he looked into his eyes, annoyed by the fact the other was in Minah's tent. "Why did you do such a stupid thing?..What is your relationship with Minnie? Oh?" The guard said with his cold voice, wondering what Minah even found in that weak fragile looking guy, how could it be that he was in her tent in that hour? Minah was very gentle, what if that guy did something to her?

@Yunho The punch was sudden, but struck true, almost knocking Baekho unconscious. His ears rung as the world around him seemed to blur for a moment, black dots crossing his vision. Okay, maybe trying to get away had been a bad idea. This guy obviously wast faster than he looked, and way more of a danger.

@☾ Baekho Yunho couldn't believe that stupid guy had the nerves to push him down ot the send, of course, he didn't want to hurt him as they were in the same tribe, but at the moment his body hit the warm sand, he wouldn't going to let him get away with it, after all, he was sure he was stronger than that fragile looking guy.

Yunho get up from the warm sand, he caught the boy before he could escape anywhere. "I tried so hard not to beat you up, but you dared pushing me like that...I will teach you a ing lesson, stupid boy." The tall said as he punched the other straight in his face, his punch was very strong cause his anger was big, holding the boy still now he used more of his strength against him.

@Yunho Baekho was starting to feel on edge around this guy. He was way too angry and way too nosey. What did he care what Baekho did with Minah? What was he, huh? Her guard dog that she never even told him about?

He felt his stomach drop when the older man grabbed his collar again, but this time he was prepared, his reflexes kicking in. He grabbed the man's wrist and jumped up, wrapping his legs around his neck. A small shift of his bodyweight rolled them back, slinging the taller man over himself and onto the sand. Baekho himself was back on his feet, bounding for Arrow to get away.

@☾ Baekho Yunho looked at the younger boy quietly with his cold eyes, not understanding that boy at all, what if it was just a lie? Could it be that Minah hid that guy from him? It was so upseting, this guy was in their tribe andh e couldn't just beat the hell out of him like he did with his enemies so he tried hard to keep calm, but it was useless.

"Are you stupid?! Just think, if someone see a guy getting out from a tent of a girl in that hour... Seriously, how could you do that? You know, she is very innocent beautiful girl, I can't believe you did such a stupid thing." The tall said with his cold voice, grabbing the other by his collar. " it, I just want to break your stupid face..maybe it will give you some sense."

@Yunho Baekho widened his eyes in surprise at the sudden burst of anger coming from the man. He stepped one step back, holding his hands up like a man being robbed. "I was just going to tell her I was taking Arrow," Baekho explained, quickly pointing a finger over at the black horse next to him. "Just didn't want Minah to worry. She loves those horses." The young scouts eyes quickly went from the man's eyes and to his hands, balling up into fists. This was looking bad.

"I swear, I only told her I was taking Arrow and made sure she got back to sleep."
Baekho steeled himself, knowing the first punch would probably fly any moment. He squared his feet, wanting to have the possibility to dodge out of the way without tripping.

@☾ Baekho The other guy seemed so small next to him when they were standing next to each other, it was hard to Yunho to control his anger, especially when some guy he didn't know were in the tent to his precious Minah and he wasn't sure what to think about it, was that guy her boyfriend? No way, she didn't even tell him anything about having one.

"You, you seems to be the problem, what the hell did you do in Minah's tent?" Yunho looked at him with his cold eyes, the anger only grew up by the minute. "She is beautiful and decant young girl and you expect me to remain calm about you in her tent?" The guard said angrily, wanting to punch the life out of the other, but what if.. Minah really was his girlfriend? Yunho felt very angry, and some other feeling inside him.

@Yunho [ It doesn't, don't worry. ]

Baekho quickly halted Arrow as he felt a hand at his collar. Making sure the horse would remain still, he slowly turned back, spotting a man he couldn't remember ever having seen before. He was sitting on another horse, probably lent from the same place he had.
"Wow... Wow there," Baekho called out calmly, raising his hands with his palm front, wanting to show he didn't mean trouble. "I'm just going to jump of this horse... You do the same and we can talk, okay?" he asked, arching his brow gently. Who was this guy? And what was this about him having been in Minah's tent that morning? Had he been seen?

Quickly, he swung out of his saddle, giving Arrow a reassuring pat on the side of the neck before walking around front to face the other man. He was about half a head taller than Baekho was, a very imposing expression on his face.
"Okay, now... What seems to be the problem?"

@☾ Baekho Yunho woke early like usual, the tent was all dark since the early hour, to guard his camp was a very important task so he was happy to do it even if it meant to wake up so early in the morning before anyone else. The tall get ready for his day, wearing some clean clothes before he went out from his tent, looking at the beautiful sky, starting to change colors when the sun didn't even rise yet.

It was very quiet when he walked on the same path he was walking each and each morning, but today something was different. The tall saw a guy, a guy he wasn't sure he met before but probably was from their tribe, he went out from the tent of Minah, his precious little Minah, why a guy was in her tent in such hour?

Yunho looked at the other with a death glance, grabbing him by his shirt collar. "What were you doing in Minah's tent right now?" The tall said with annoyed angry voice, he didn't like it, not at all, who was that guy and how dared he to be in a that tent? Yunho could just break his face right there.

[sorry if it ~ T~T]

@Yunho The sun had not yet risen when Baekho woke from his light sleep. He rolled over in his makeshift bed, groaning as his muscles ached and his head screamed at him to go back to bed. He let out a low grumble and pushed himself up from the bed on unsteady legs, shuffling a little as he felt his body getting used to the upright pose again. Like his namesake, Baekho stretched his body out as he yawned, feeling his muscles tense up for just the minor part of a second.
"Uugh... Duty calls," he mumbled sleepily to no one in particular, letting the words hang in the dusty air.

After a quick change of clothing and a small meal, Baekho headed out of his tent and into the darkness outside. The pale moonlight guided his way as he trekked through the silent camp. It had become routine to keep quiet as he silently trudged through the sand towards the makeshift stable tent. He could see a light lit inside as he walked, but doubted that Minah was awake.

But even if she was asleep, he stopped at her tent, sneaking a quick glance inside. A soft smile played over his lips as he saw her; face lit by the weak flame of a dying oil lamp and framed by her dark raven hair. He gave a small glance towards the rest of the camp before sneaking inside, making sure not to make a sound as he moved onto his knees in front of her. With a delicate touch, he brushed a curl of hair away from her face, tucking it neatly behind her ear and placing a light kiss on her forehead.
"I'm taking Arrow," he whispered, making sure not to wake her before making his exit again.

The sun had just started peaking over the horizon when Baekho reached the deadlands ahead of the nomads. The following day would be a hard trek, moving the clan through the desolate landscape spreading out in front of his eyes. He could just spy the dunes of sand appearing in the distance, gleaming brightly in the light of the sun.
