The Heist (BOOK 1)

Captain's Hideaway

"Welp, this is his front door." Yunho said as the six of them surrounded a manhole cover in the middle of an alleyway.

"You're kidding." Hyunjin cringed.

"He likes to lay low." Jongho shrugged.

"So do you just knock?" San asked.

"I'm going in." Wooyoung kneeled down.

"Have you learned nothing about opening weird doors for a day?" His boyfriend pulled him back.

"How do you even know this is the right one?" Hyunjin wondered.

Jongho pointed to the graffiti on the brick wall behind him. "Captain's emblem."

"So dramatic." Felix rolled his eyes, then opened the lid.

"How come he gets to do it?" Wooyoung pouted.

"Captain!" Yunho shouted.

"Aye, aye!" A voice yelled back, then peeked his head up from underground. "I know you two." He smiled, looking at Hyunjin and Wooyoung. "You work for Park Investments. What are you doing with these guys?"

"That's what we're here to talk about." Felix said to him.

"Well, in that case, come on down." Hongjoong climbed down the ladder for them to follow.

Hyunjin and Wooyoung thought it couldn't get crazier than Mingi and Yeosang's apartment, but they were wildly incorrect. For an actual hole in the ground, the place looked like it was built by a damn superhero.

"I'm feeling a lot of nostalgia right now. We just need Yeosang and Mingi." Yunho smiled.

"That's where we went first." Felix said. "Apparently these guys went to high school with Mingi." He pointed to the best friends who were still looking around at all the weapons and gadgets that covered the walls. "I needed a way to get into Seonghwa's security cameras."

"What were you doing there the one day?" Wooyoung asked Hongjoong.

"Planting a bug." The captain replied. "Mingi and Yeosang aren't the only ones with fancy toys."

"Wait, where is it? I'm in that room almost every day and I haven't seen anything."

"Well, yeah." He smiled. "That's the point."

"What does it do?"

"I can hear everything that happens at any time."

"Heard anything good?"

"Go to this morning." San said, wanting to hear the conversation between Wooyoung and Seonghwa.

Hongjoong sat down at his desk and rewinded the audio recording to a place with the most sound waves.

"So how are you and your boyfriend?"

Wooyoung's eyes widened, realizing it was his conversation with Seonghwa.

"Very good."

"Have you been together long?"

"Just a couple months."

"Gotcha. I wonder if he'd care to share."

Hearing that made San's blood boil. He was only expecting it to get worse since Wooyoung clarified to everyone that he'd be playing a role.

"He's very possessive, I don't think you'd get far."

"No?"

"You wouldn't want someone like me."
