BLACK DAISIES ↠ NCT OT23

Cp 1 : First Stage

Slight static sounded from the earpiece as the woman behind a computer pressed a small button to activate it. A few miles away from her, the same low hum could be heard from the ear of a young man as the line came alive. The boy barely moved from the shadows where he was crouching, his head twitching just a little bit at
the alert.

"Haechan, target just entered from the main hall, door A," a voice sounded from the small electronic bud attached to his ear. His eyes lifted to look at the shadowy pillars above his head where a quick glint of light confirmed that another boy hidden there heard the same words.

"Got it, noona. Plan C?"

"Plan C. Where are Jisung and Chenle?"

"Two floors down from us. Jaemin's with them. Renjun's done with the wires."

"Jeno, you good?"

Up above the rafters from Haechan's head, a darker shade of shadows moved. The metallic glint flashed again, followed by a low sigh that could be heard from the earpieces of the two people involved in the conversation.

"So I can't use my gun again?"

"No. I already told you, right? What's family rule number 2?" The female voice answered from the other end of the line, a tinge of laughter lacing her tone. Haechan giggled softly from beneath the rafters, enjoying the banter.

"....we don't shoot people in the head and kill them."

"That's right." From her screen, the woman's eyes followed the movements of their targets as the man boarded the elevator that would take him straight to the penthouse of the high rise building. Her nose wrinkled a bit as she watched him wound his arms around two giggling women who look half his age.

Disgusting.

"...there's something we can do though..."

Haechan tightened the scruff of his gloves as he heard the soft hum of the elevator climbing closer to where he and Jeno are. He smirked slightly to himself as the welcome ding from the penthouse reverberated just one floor below them.

"We put them in their right place."

"Good luck, boys."

A soft buzzing sound indicated the earpiece temporarily being turned off the same time loud explosions sounded from the floor and roof of the penthouse.

"Noona!"

I whipped around on my creaky swivel chair to face the group that just bounded through the door, wide grin plastered on my face. The blonde boy who called my name closed the distance between us with his long, excited strides, cheeks plump from his smile.

"Look what I got you! Pretty nice, eh?" He asked with pride as he took a seat beside me, opening his palm to show a blood red stone nestled there. I moved a little forward to squint at it before gingerly picking it up.

"Red diamond. I think two carats, at least. Wow, that's impressive, Chenle! Thank you."

The boy's grin widened as he turned to the others who just settled on the scattered chairs and bean bags across the plain cement floor.

"See? I told you she'd like it!"

"We almost got busted because he wanted to take it." Another boy with light purplish hair piped up from one of the bean bags on the ground. It's adorable how only half of his body could fit on it, leaving him with no choice but to splay his long legs on the floor.
