"There's three guys coming towards you from the left. The one on the middle looks like he has it"

"Any weapons?"

"Nada. Just the watch"

At the instruction, the boy nods, although the person behind the mechanical voice can't see him, and he scans around himself - there's a metal bar above him, reaching across the rooftop just a few feet above. And within seconds he's pulling himself above it, just before the three men are marching through where he'd been just moments before.

"I think they're heading for the ceo's office"

He taps the side of his glasses, crouching as he shifts across the elevated section of the roof, making sure to not be seen by them. "Yeah, I'm not dumb," he whispers back, and he immediately hears a small 'tch' come from the other side. He smirks, latching his gloved-hands onto the edge of the wall and swinging himself down, just before the door shuts behind the three men.

"Are you taking them?"

Hanbin sighs, though the smile never leaves his face. "I guess i don't have a choice, do I?"

"Just don't get yourself hurt. You've got another job after this"

"Aw, hyung," Hanbin says, amusement lining his voice as he clicks the door open, slipping inside and shutting the door behind him all without making any sound, "I didn't know you cared so much about me"

"Shut up and get the damn watch"

But he's already descending the stairs, adrenaline rushing through his body although he can't let it get the best of him - he has one job. Get in, take the watch, get out. The delivery comes later, and by then the hard part is already over.

The building's layout is rather complicated, because beneath the unsuspecting exterior lies one of the many drug-extortion companies residing in South Korea. It's famous within the industry for murdering those who go against them, betray them, or do anything to threaten their status. Hanbin's job is simply to retrieve a watch taken from the ceo of yet another, smaller company under the same operation. Supposedly, he'd been killed by the ceo of this company, and his watch has... something to do with something.

He actually doesn't really know, he just needs to get it... and get paid a lot of money for it.

"Down the hallway to the left," Junho instructs through his earpiece, and Hanbin quickly changes direction, and he can see it in the distance. Without a doubt, it's the entrance to the ceo's office, although there are at least two more doors between that one and the actual office. "How many guards?"
