Get ready for the longest chapter (as of yet).

Your POV:

As soon as it is midnight, I can't be patient anymore. The entire evening, I was excited, anxious, worried, nervous. After all, this is my first infiltration mission, and I'm not even sure what exactly we have to do when we do reach the factory. Moreover, how will we get inside? Is there even gonna be a backdoor? And if there is, it will surely be locked. How will we enter without creating noise and alerting the guard?

But the prospect of doing something so adventurous and dangerous at the same time is thrilling me. The thrill of making sure that when we get there, we don't get caught, is too much.

And that's why I am impatient. The nervousness is making me giddy in the stomach and causing my heartbeat to be louder. I'm waiting for Taehoon to message me, telling me that he's leaving for my house right now.

A few more minutes pass, and my anxiousness increases. Did he bail out? No, no. I sigh and decide to message him myself, and just as my lock screen opens, a message appears along with it.

Message from Prince Longlegs: Omw. (On my way.)

I open the chat and message him: "Didn't forget to wear gloves, did you?"

He replies: "No. You literally told me at around 6. How could I forget so early?"

It's true. In the evening, I had realized that going without gloves would be dangerous, because for some reason, if anyone decided to check fingerprints at the factory, we'd be caught. Therefore, I had messaged him then to wear gloves.

I reply to him: "Alright. I'll be getting ready. Park near the trees when you come, and stand quietly and wait for me."

Saying this, I jump out of bed and head outside my room. I walk towards my parents' room and open the door.

They are sleeping soundly, it seems. Just for good measure, I cough loudly. I know that I can potentially get caught if they wake up, but I have to make sure they are properly asleep.

Seeing that they still are sleeping in the same position, snoring even, I close their door and walk back to my room. I look at the outfit kept on my bed.

A black jacket with a hood and black jeans. I quickly tie my hair into a bun and put on my outfit. I pick my phone and put it in my jeans pocket (yes, my jeans have pockets), then put on the gloves.

Satisfied with my appearance, I get out of my room and lock the door with the key. It has such a mechanism that it can be locked or unlocked from inside by a knob and by a key from the outside. My parents know that I sleep with a locked door, so if they wake up any time and find the door locked, they wouldn't find it suspicious.

I tiptoe my way downstairs. I wear my black sports shoes and quietly leave through the front door. As I walk through the garden towards the gate, I notice Taehoon standing behind a tree. He's wearing the same outfit he had worn yesterday, in the funfair.

I walk up to him.

"Hey", he says.

"Hi. Ready, partner?"

"Sure", he says, and gives me one helmet.

"'Sure'? That's all you have to say?" I ask, looking at the helmet and the bike. "You gotta give a dramatic, movie-like answer."

He rolls his eyes, then sighs exasperatedly and says, "Ready as I'll ever be."

I smirk at him. "Very good", I pat his shoulder.

He looks at me, annoyed, and says, "Shall we get going?"

Putting on my helmet, I say, "We shall."

He also puts on his helmet and hops on the bike. I sit behind him as he starts the ignition.
