A knock at the door grabs Eun's attention. He opens it, enveloping his brother in a hug before ushering him inside.

"How have you been? It's been a few days since we last met." He asked when they'd taken residence at the dining table.

"Oh, I've been good." Jae answered. "I'll be better when we finally get rid of this bitch!" They both start laughing loudly, waking up the sleeping boy down the hall.

Jisung gets out of bed, rubbing his eyes and yawning as he gets dressed and heads to the source of the obnoxious laughter. He sits down at the table and leans back in his chair with his arms crossed.

"What are we planning?" He asks tiredly.

"We got intel of an underground base that the villain guy lives in. We are going to surprise attack and kill him." Eun explains. Jisung nods with his words.

"How?"

The eldest pulls out a map, pointing to a red line.

"There is a sewage line here that supposedly leads to his base. Tonight, we'll sneak over and follow the pipe to where he is. Then we trap him." The youngest sits up, looking at the map.

"Trap him?" He wanders.

"Yeah, we'll lure him into a room or something and then Eun and I will kill him there." Jae says, pointing to the blank area where is base is supposed to be.

"How do we lure him?" The boy asks again.

"That's where you come in. We will set you up as bait and hope he comes to kill you, then, BOOM, we trap him. You'll basically be a distraction." Eun answers. Jisung nods again.

"What if he has traps?" He questions, looking between the brothers. They glance at each other before answering.

"We'll just have to be careful. Don't worry about it." The boy sighs, looking away.

"Are you sure it will work? He won't actually have the chance to kill me?" He asks quietly as he looks up to their nodding heads. "Okay. I'm going to have a shower, let me know when we're leaving." He gets up and heads back to his room, leaving the brothers.

The two laughed again, fist bumping each other. 

"So, what's the real plan?" Jae asked.

"What are you talking about?" Eun tries to keep a straight face but breaks it when his head his slapped by his brother.

"Ok, ok. When we get to his base in the sewer, we will disappear and pretend we were taken. Then, we watch as he kills Jisung and pounce on him. We should let Ji get caught in a few traps on the way in too, he needs to be injured somehow so he can't fight." Jae shakes his head while laughing.

"You really are evil. Good acting by the way." He comments. Eun thanks him and drags him up to watch TV while they let the day fall to night.

What was he going to do?!

Jisung can't reveal his relationship, but he expects Minho to come and try to kill him? And what if he does? He is a villain after all. 

What if he distracts him and lets him get killed! He can't let that happen. The boy grips at his hair in frustration, angrily turning the water on in the shower.

Should he tell Minho? Warn him of the plan? Would he even have enough time to? What would his reaction be?

All these thoughts and questions flooded his mind, making it hard for him to formulate a proper plan. He slips under the water and leans his head on the tile.

"Think, think, think..." Jisung whispers to himself. He could go against the plan, or attack Minho first but not actually hurt him. Maybe just go with the plan and hope for the best? He would be fine if he did that since his boyfriend would protect him, but what about Minho. 

He groans, stepping back out and drying off to collapse on his bed again. With his eyes closed he keeps thinking, feeling as though his brain could explode from all the thoughts racing through his head.

The boy's eyes snapped open at the feeling of wind on his foot. He sits up and notices the window open, curtains blowing in the breeze. On the windowsill and piece of paper caught his attention. Jisung jumps off the bed and goes to it.

Just follow the plan sweetheart.

His heart started beating faster at reading the note and he looked around out the window, hoping for a glimpse of the man he knew wrote it. When the boy couldn't see him, he closed the window and put the note with the others.

Jisung laid back on the bed, eyes fixated on the window just in case.

Just in case he came back.

A knock on the door brought him to get up and open it.

"We leave in half an hour. Be ready." Eun tells him. The boy groans but pulls on a pair of jeans and hoodie, sliding his dagger between the waistband and his skin. He shivered slightly at the coolness of the blade.

Jisung left the room. He didn't want to do this at all. What if Minho got hurt? Or killed? He couldn't let that happen, but he couldn't jeopardize their relationship, whatever it was. He was soon in the car, staring out at the streetlights and stars.

The playground flew by, and he swears he saw a man on one of the swings with a cigarette. 

Maybe Minho wouldn't be there. Maybe he will be safe.

Eun pulled into a secluded street, getting out and beckoning the other two to follow him. They eventually came across a manhole. Jae bent down, pulling off the top and chucking it to the side.

He gestures for Jisung to go down, but the boy hesitates, scrunching his nose at the slight smell he knew would only get worse. After a couple minutes, the other brother just sits down and slides in, shining his torch up and beckoning for the youngest to follow.

He does and lands beside him, immediately backing to the wall. Jae gives him a torch and he shines it around the dirty and graffiti covered area. Eun grabs the cover and places it half covering the hole so when he jumps down, he can pull it all the way to cover the sewer.

"This way." The eldest starts walking down the passageway, his own light shining down the tunnel, the other's following his echoing footsteps.
