Reservoir Princes

Plan A- Negotiations

Minseok Kim, Age 22

"Why you late again?"

As soon as I opened the door, I could see Chen's smile in the darkness. I gave him a cold stare and walked to the chair across from him. "I apologize, I was having allegations with the Chief."

Baekhyun sat up and sighed, "It's a shame... Many people don't realize they are being manipulated by the foreigners as well as who is in charge of this reservoir."

"I forget that you know everything before I open my mouth." I teased.

Baekhyun showed an evil and dangerous radiance as he spoke, "I have my ways of getting information. There's almost no way to get around me with lies."

Chen seemed to have noticed too, "Woah chill.... Why can't you relax and be funny for once? You're always getting so serious."

"I apologize, I lost the meaning of trust two years ago."

"So... you don't trust us? Honestly, just say the truth dude."

"That would be a complex explanation, but I'll let you decide."

"Again with the riddles and confusion." Chen smiled and went quiet.

I was silent the whole time, there was nothing for me to say or talk about. Whether or not Baekhyun trusts us or not, we trust him. We have been through so much for 3 years. This was why we had divided the powers together. We were very close and had made promises to stick together like brothers. As the oldest here, I was used to being the one who makes the final decisions.

I finally decided to speak up, "So... Let's discuss about the importation. Any plans?"

Chen, the person who always was the first to speak up in the discussions raised his hand. "Let's just find a way to sneak into the boat and burn it."

Baekhyun sighed, "If everything was this easy, the Japanese wouldn't have taken over the country. Besides, we cannot ruin our image, this matter is to be done in the most peaceful way."

"I agree with Baekhyun. Let's try to not get violence involved." I said while nodding.

"Alright, alright. Let's do negotiations with those people. What should be the excuse to get them to let us get near the boat?" Chen asked.

"The Japanese will not recognize that we are in control of the reservoir. If we want them to... We need someone to dress up as an official."

"Hyung, you got this."

"I prefer minister."

"Does it matter?"

"Not really but-"

"Exactly, you should be the official."

"What is hyung going to be?"

Chen scratched his chin, "Ok... I see your point now."

I looked at them, "Ok but how can we pull this off if we don't have clothes of officials?"

Baekhyun and Chen looked at each other and smirked. "That, is where Chen comes in." Baekhyun explained.

"All I gotta do is to sneak into a house and go through here and there, and bam! We get clothes for us." Chen said while smiling. He was happy to be able to help out.

"Dirty and smelly ones though..." I grumbled.

"Come on hyung, we gotta do this. Remember when we all met in the past? It was far worst than wearing Japanese clothes." Chen replied.

I sighed, he was right. The past six years had been horrible for us...
