❝so we all are going?❞ 

the discussion was going for a good hour or so now. their target was living in a huge mansion and it would be better if they all went together. however, jungsu and hyeongjun didn't like the idea of seungmin going with them too. 

sure, the boy had fully recovered and his wound had healed. he could move his hand however he wanted and it didn't hurt anymore. it's been a week or so now since that day when gunil showed jungsu the mansion and seungmin himself insisted to go with them. 

❝but you still have that bandage on.❞ hyeongjun stated, trying to make seungmin agree with him and stay home. ❝you won't be staying alone of course.❞ 

the elder couldn't help but roll his eyes at hyeongjun's statement. ❝i've recovered hyeongjun.❞ he told him resting his palm on his chin. ❝and i'm going with you all. i don't care.❞ he then leaned back in an armchair crossing his hands in front of his chest. 

jungsu and hyeongjun shared a look, glancing at gunil after as if the two were asking for him to speak up and make seungmin stay. but the eldest among them just shrugged, showing them that he was not powerful enough to do that. seungmin was stubborn and he didn't even listen to gunil sometimes. 

❝then,❞ jiseok clasped his hands together with a small smile displaying on his lips. ❝we are leaving tonight.❞ and with those words he got up from the floor and walked to his and seungmin's shared room to get some rest because he knew for sure they would be out for the whole night. 

lying down on his back and placing his hands under his head, jiseok let out a small sigh, relaxing in bed as he closed his eyes. it had been quite awhile now since they went somewhere all together and he honestly was excited for this one. 

from what he had heard from gunil, the mansion was huge. meaning, there would be a lot of things to take and collect. just the thought of it made his lips curve up in a smile. 

jiseok would love to go with his friends for a robbery again. he wanted to remember how it felt to be all five ⸺ now six ⸺ together, arranging where to go, sneaking in, helping each other, dividing into groups, meeting at a certain place and going back home.  

❝this smile tells me you really want to go.❞ jiseok's head snapped towards the direction where from he had heard the voice coming and he was met with hyeongjun, who was leaning against the doorframe, with a small smile displaying on his lips and even bunny teeth peeking. 

jiseok somehow managed to nod, still lying down and showed hyeongjun with his one hand to go inside the room properly, which the younger gladly did. 

he lay down beside jiseok, making himself comfortable in exact same position as the elder was in and also staring up at the ceiling, let out a small sigh.
