❝you do everything exactly how me and jiseok tell you. understand? now take this.❞ hyeongjun was whispering as the three of them were hiding behind the bushes. he handed jooyeon a gun, which the youngest among them hesitated to take. 

it would be the first ever time for him to do such thing. heck, he had never even held a gun before. he felt his heart beating twice as fast and he was not even going to lie and say that yes, he was so scared. 

he wasn't that worried nor frightened when he agreed to this. but now, on the spot, when they were waiting for their target to go out so they could go in his house and rob it, jooyeon felt too much at the same time. 

it was not a good idea. he regretted agreeing to it so much now. but it was too late to go back. he had to do it. 

❝he's here.❞ jiseok whispered pointing at the young male who walked out of the block of flats, with a rather scared facial expression, looking around carefully as if he was checking something and then with cautious steps walked towards a car, which seemingly was his and drove away. 

the three of them waited for another five minutes or so, to make sure that the man was not coming back. gunil had told them that on this very day he had something important to do in the other city which would take him the whole evening and he added that he heard the man saying that he would probably even be staying in a hotel in that city for the night. 

it meant that they had plenty of time to do everything how they wanted. of course just because the man said he wouldn't be coming back for the night, they didn't have to do everything quickly. 

putting on the surgical gloves and making sure that both jiseok and jooyeon also had them on, ❝let's go, shall we?❞ hyeongjun smirked and walked on the street, crossing the road and going inside the block of flats very casually as if he was living there. after a minute or so, jiseok and jooyeon followed him. 

they met on the fourth floor, where the man was living and jiseok worked very quickly to open the door. then without saying a word, the three of them walked inside, with jooyeon closing the door behind him carefully. 

jooyeon took some time to look around the huge living room that they entered. gunil wasn't lying when he said that this man was really rich. everything seemed so expensive and luxurious. you could tell that he had spent a lot of money on each small thing that was now placed here in the living room. 

❝i will go see the kitchen.❞ jiseok spoke up. ❝jun, you go to the bedroom and joo, you stay here and collect everything that you think we will need.❞ 

and only after hearing those words jooyeon remembered that they didn't come here for a friendly visit. they came here to take everything they might need. they came here to rob this house. 

without saying anything else, the three separated their ways and jiseok walked to the kitchen, opening the backpack he had brought to see if there was anything worthy to take home. would it be some utensils or food. 

he was about to open the fridge when he heard the noise of the door opening and closing. and loud voice of someone speaking on the phone. rather scared.
