The Heist | LOONA AU

Chapter 18

Silence rings through the warehouse as the girls waited for the former detective to speak. The bright moon can be slightly seen from cracks of the ceiling making the light hit them.

Over on the couch, Gowon laid on her back since she was feeling a small pain in her abdomen and rib area. She knows there's a few purple bruises on her stomach from getting punched there.

The girls sat at the table wondering what Haseul was going to say, in terms of what just happened tonight. They were a bit scared of being yelled at but the former detective isn't going to do that, right?

Right??

A tired sigh is heard from Haseul as she had her back turned to the crew. Her arm and shoulder were in slight pain but she ignored it for now. There are too many thoughts swarming her mind that her ears don't pick up someone calling her name.

"...Haseul unnie!" Her head whips over to the left and makes eye contact with her cousin.

Yeojin had her eyebrows furrowed in worry as the girls were doing the same. She can see how the older is completely blaming herself for everything that has happened the past week.

"I uh..." Haseul starts off and silently gulps "I apologize for everything, its my fault this happened and-"

"None of this is your fault Haseul!" Yves cut her off and stood up from her chair causing for the girls to look at her.

Haseul was a bit shocked its her who's talking but decided to hear what she's going to say.

Yves continues "Why do you keep blaming yourself? You had no idea that the mafia was going to hurt Gowon. You didn't know that they would come to our house and try to kill us. It is not your fault that any of this happened or that that we got hurt. Look, you just saved Gowon's life, you've saved mine and you almost gave up yours to help us escape back at the docks. Don't feel guilty because you had no cause of any of this whatsoever" Her face showed that she was serious and finished in a confident tone.

It gets quiet for a few seconds as Haseul let's the words sink into her mind. She's trusted them since the moment her eyes landed on their records and will continue to even after the heist is completed.

The girls were also processing the words Yves said and couldn't agree more with her. They knew Haseul was going to blame herself once seeing what happened to Gowon. It didn't make sense on why she would blame herself but they have a feeling why.

Vivi looked at the former detective with worried eyes and hates that she's blaming herself for this. They've already talked about it back at the older's apartment but the younger couldn't help it once she saw how hurt Gowon was.

Clenching her jaw, Haseul exhales sharply "I know I had no idea none of this was going to happen but its still my fault-" She gets cut off again.

"How?!" Yves asks feeling herself get stressed again "How is it your fault when you knew nothing of this? Did you know that the mafia came by our house to kill us tonight?!" She asks and gestures to herself, Jinsoul and Yeojin while looking at the former detective with raised eyebrows.

Everyone but Jungeun and Hyunjin furrowed their eyebrows "What?!" They exclaimed in shock and looked at them in disbelief.

"Exactly!" Yves yells as she proves her point and crosses her arms across her chest.

The girls who were pretty much involved with the whole 'escaping the mafia mission' just wore a sheepish smile on their face. Jiwoo sighs and shakes her head as Vivi closed her eyes and rubs her temple in hopes to get rid of the headache she was feeling.

Hyejoo and Gowon stared at them in amusement as Haseul takes a big deep breath. This shit was getting out of control and they needed to do something now or its never gonna end.
