SUPERB | Seo Changbin ✅️

Issue 7: Sidekick

 
Y/n's POV

"I quit."

"WHAT-"

I throw my name tag on the desk in front of my manager without hesitation.

"You can't just-" they get flustered mouth wide from shock. Several of the library's guests stare at the commotion and some even whisper in awe.
"Fuck you. And good luck finding someone who can deal with your privileged ass."

Changbin walks up beside me elbowing me with a smirk.
"Let's go."

I walked out with Changbin cheekily following behind. It felt so surreal to quit a job I've been working for years so suddenly. I know my grandmother would be disappointed. I'd be damned if she found that out, guess Ill just keep it on the low for now.

"Where to boss?"
"My place."
"Is that like your secret hideout?"
"Well the basement is."
"That's not creepy at all.." I say with nervous laughter. Changbin chuckles at this and grabs my wrist into a empty alleyway.

"It gets creepier so you better get used to it." He says pressing me close to his chest and wrapping an arm around my waist tightly. Before I could respond to that, we were off into the air like bullets out of a gun. When I felt him take off, I grabbed onto him as tight as possible and  shut my eyes from the view below. Thankfully after about a couple minutes, he lands softly back on the ground. My whole body shook not wanting to let go of him even if we were on land.

"Y/n." he chuckled touching my face trying get me to look at him. I slowly open my eyes and look at him.

"I didn't know you could fly." I say breathlessly.
"Gravity manipulation is a very broad power." Changbin says with a smirk, " Also, its way faster than any bus or train."
"You didn't even ask if I was afraid of heights.." I say stepping back from him.
"Are you?" Changbin asks as he walks to the back entrance of his house with a key.

"..I most definitely am."

He smirks to himself as he unlocks the door and motions for me to come inside. The feel of a middle class home was seen through the décor when I walked in. It was very inviting and gave off warm  family vibes especially with all the photos hanging around.

"This is really nice." I say walking further into the house observing more of the photos of young Changbin and his mom. 
"Basement is over here.." I looked at him  as he stood opening a door that was placed underneath the stairs.
"Weird place for a basement.." I say walking over to the opened door and looking down the steps.

"Perfect place for a hide out." As he says that, I forced myself to walk down the creepy stairs that led all the way to a bare cemented room with tool boxes, a work table, and a old matted rug. Changbin shuts the door from the top and walks down and continues walking until he reaches the edge of the room in front of a tool box. He grabs another key from the 3rd row of the box and flings the rug off the floor to reveal a circular metal hatch with the words 'Emergency' draped in a patchy red paint. Changbin then uses the key to unlock it and it with a creek opens. The boy looks up at me before using the ladder inside to go down the hole. As he moves in, I look over to see a deep shot of darkness and along with it echoes of dripping water tickled my ears. The hole was so dark that Changbin had disappeared completely when he went down. That is until his shoes slam on the ground from below and he calls me down. I shook my head at this and I slide my self inside shutting the door after me. I climbed my way through the dark all the way until I could feel Changbin's hands touch my waist and my feet reach the bottom.  The boy turns the flash on his phone and grabs my hand leading me through the tunnel.

"This is an old nuke bunker. Placed further down than the basement to ensure no radiation could follow. My mom didn't notice it because she got too sick and never had the chance to use this part of the house." We arrived at a door with a turning hatch and code. Changbin dials in 4 numbers and turns the hatch to the right 3 times until it opens. He nods for me to go in and I do without hesitation. The room was about a football field in length. Its floor was such a slick grey it always looked as if it were wet. All the walls and ceiling were made out of some kid of white metal plating. The whole room was super minimalistic. There was an older PC and three monitors set towards the middle. A small kitchen in one corner to my side with a cheap table along with two folded chairs. The other corner had a huge white couch and an older TV. Everything else was quite bare in comparison. It was not a hideout you'd think a famous super villain would have.

" Im aware its not much, but it has done a lot for me so far.."
"If it works, it works." I said. He leads me over to the table by the kitchen. We both sit down facing each other. When we locked eyes, he becomes serious and began laying down what he wanted me to do.

"First of all, The code is 0801, you will be given a spare key to my house and you already know where the other key is kept in the tool box. I am also giving you a burner phone. Use it ONLY to contact me. No texting. Calling is more efficient and can't be traced. Answer it even if it is in the middle of class. I am your number one priority. If you do not take me seriously, your pay will reduce. Got it?"
" Got it."
"Your job is anything I ask of you, not just tech shit. So do not complain when I ask something out of hand. Not only are you getting paid in money, but I will give you protection for you and your family. I'm also open to request and any ideas you may have, all you have to do is ask. Understand?" he say raising a brow.
"Yes sir."
"Good. I need you to make a list of things that need improvements. I also need a list of supplies needed for those and for untraceable preferably small AI bots for surveillance."
"I heard Beyond got some of the older models from the news reports. Though I don't think it was traced to you."
"I'm not the best in tech, so obviously he caught a couple. I had to go out in the middle of nowhere in order to use them. I wasn't sure if it was easily traceable. Could not risk making more myself. Plus I should have made them smaller or at least more unrecognizable." He says scratching his neck.

"You have the right idea.. Hacking into street cameras is easy, but they are also way too dangerous to check into, especially, with the raise in criminal activity. They are also very limited to the area in which they are in. We can try a bird camera. This area has a lot of ravens so they wont notice a couple more popping up. They only thing about that is making the birds fly realistically. We can also build a smaller circular version of the model you put out if I cant get the birds to look believable." 
Changbin smirks, "Already have ideas for me, huh?"
"You told me to take you seriously. That is what I am doing."

He bites his lip in amusement, "Write down what you need for it, I'll get the supplies by the end of the week. After that you are to stay isolated in here for three days. This means no going out of the house during that time unless you need to feed and put your siblings to bed on a school night."
"Three days is really short.."
"Yeonjun told me you can build and program within 6 hours. This should be more than enough time for you."
"I guess.." I say a bit unsure.
"I was also thinking about introducing you as a sidekick later on to throw off people. Just a thought though." he says with a sigh.
' You understand I don't fight right? I  have no super powers like you Changbin.."
"I figured it would be kind of like a Batman thing." he says with a chuckle.
"Yeah, but Batman is super ripped. And am.. not. Like what if I have to go against Beyond??"
"Ill be near you the whole time.. Besides, it was only an idea..  Now i'm thinking it should be not just idea since you're so ready for it." He smirks as his hand rests on his chin. eyes sparkling like a child.
I scoffed at this, "I did not say that.."

"Anyway, that list is due tonight." He gets up and hands me a piece of paper and a pen. I sighed and begin writing what was needed.

After about an hour, I was finished with the list of supplies. Changbin seemed very impressed with what I had asked for, even if they were very expensive. It didn't take long after to be able to leave that bunker. Which was kind of a fresh breathe of air for me. It was only suffocating because of the reason of being there, not because of the depth in which we were at. I hated that I was working for a villain out of fear..

"I'll let you know when I get the supplies. Be prepared to stay the day after they arrive." He says walking out into the backyard.
"Of course." I nodded following behind him like a lost puppy. He looks back at me and pulls me close to him by clutching my jaw in his hands. He looks at me with a certain fire in his eyes before speaking a low raspy voice.

"Good girl." 

What a dangerous man.
