Fallen for him

Part 24

Joong's POV
We have arrived at the building and we parked our vehicle far from the place. I was looking for uncle moo and suddenly my phone rings

"Hello, uncle moo we've arrived"

"Listen joong, your father already left for home so you and your friend can go inside but remember that you can't go directly you should dress up"

"But uncle what will we tell them"

"I found out about it, you can tell the gaurds that the AC in the main office is not working so you both are here to repair the AC. The gaurds will be easily fooled they don't have any idea about what is going inside. You can escape their eyes easily"

"It's easy then why to worry then" dunk said placing his hand on joong's shoulder

"It is but there is another bodyguard inside his name is Papang, he is very sharp eyed you just have to be careful from
him, don't ever catch his sight."

"Wear this caps and this masks" Uncle moo said handing the caps and masks to them

"Thankyou so much uncle for helping us till now, we will take care further"

Joong: (leaning against the wall, eyes darting around) You ready for this, Dunk?

Dunk: (fidgeting, glancing at the guard) Yeah, but... I don’t like this. What if we get caught?

Joong: (sighing, trying to maintain a light tone) We won’t. Just stick to the plan. We’re here to fix the AC.

Dunk: (taking a deep breath) Right. It’s just… I don’t like lying.

Joong: (stepping closer, lowering his voice) It’s not lying; it’s survival. We need that file.

They approach the entrance, Dunk hesitating as they spot the guard.

Dunk: (nervously) You’re sure about this?

Joong: (with a teasing smirk) You’re getting cold feet? Thought you were the brave one.

Dunk: (frowning, but there’s a flicker of a smile) I’m brave. Just... cautious.

They step up to the guard.

Joong: Evening! We’re from maintenance. Got a last-minute call about the AC.

Guard: (raising an eyebrow) I didn’t hear anything about repairs.

Dunk: (jumping in, a bit too forcefully) It’s urgent. Just a quick check, and we’ll be out.

Joong: (glancing at Dunk, a mix of pride and annoyance) Easy there, Dunk. Let’s not make him suspicious.

Guard: (sighing, considering them) Fine. Just be quick.

They exchange a glance—tension thick in the air.

Dunk: (whispering as they enter) Nice work, but you could have let me handle it.

Joong: (biting back frustration) I was trying to keep us from blowing our cover!

Inside, they move quickly down the hallway, the silence amplifying their anxiety.

Dunk: (whispering) What if he follows us?

Joong: (snapping a little) We’ll deal with it! You need to trust me!

Dunk: (stopping, eyes narrowing) It’s not about trust. It’s about being smart.

They reach the office door, tension crackling between them.

Dunk: (taking a breath, softer) Look, I know this is important. I just want to be sure we don’t mess up.
