10.

it was very late at night and the abandoned building was embraced by darkness. it was really cloudy. the moon and the stars were nowhere to be seen on the sky. the temperature surprisingly went down and the night was pretty chill. 

the lights were also turned off on each floor. seemingly all six of them were asleep or at least weren't doing something that would need any source of light. 

and in fact yes, all of them were indeed asleep except jungsu and jiseok. while all others were in their rooms, sleeping so peacefully and being so unbothered by anything happening around them, the two boys sat in the dark living room, with no light shining there and talked quietly. 

they got a good amount of sleep during the day, they managed to go through the hot day by sleeping and now they both were wide awake. seungmin was having that sleep with them. in fact, he was the last one to wake up in the evening. but after staying with jungsu and jiseok for some amount of time, he made the final decision to go to his and jooyeon's shared room and sleep more. 

even though, it was very cloudy and dark, the two silhouettes could still be seen from the window, sitting on the old couch and it looked like a scene straight from a horror movie, if you asked someone passing by. thankfully, there was no one out at this ungodly hour and the two could peacefully do whatever they were doing without being bothered by very loud screams of people walking by and noticing them, claiming that they had just seen two ghosts. 

the two sat beside each other on the old couch they had in the living room, face to face, talking quietly and discussing something that seemed very important for them. 

as it was a complete silence outside with not even cars passing by, the two were whispering and it was enough for them to hear each other and also good for everyone else who was sleeping. 

❝gunil has been tracking him for a few days now. he is about our age, so his clothes would hopefully fit us. gunil also found out that he is not so poor, if you know what i mean.❞ smirking, jiseok brushed the hair that was covering his forehead away. ❝and tomorrow, i think we can get him. i hope everything is going to go well.❞ 

nodding, ❝you and hyeongjun can go, i think.❞ jungsu thought for a few short seconds, before offering that. 

they were planning yet another small robbery. since now there were six of them, they needed more food and other things for themselves. just stealing from the streets here and there seemed to not be enough anymore. 

❝but try not to kill him.❞ breaking a small silence between the two of them, jungsu asked. there were suspicions about them already. not technically about them, but jungsu saw some posters in the streets, that told people to be careful and cautious all the time because there might have been thieves in the city who also didn't hesitate to kill people. 

they should have been cautious back then and this wouldn't have happened. jungsu knew, it was their fault partly. but on the other hand, they murdered those people because they were left with no other choice but to do so.
