Badman

Chapter 4

Karyssa’s POV

“Karen, what the hell did you just do?!” I whisper-yelled. Honestly… Gamble with whatever the crap you like. But NOT our chances of staying in this group.

She shrugged, and leaned against the crater she had punched out of the wall just moments ago. “Calm down. All this means is that we need to get this mission right. Jong Ya only accepted because she doesn’t think we’ll be able to do it anyway, and it saves her the trouble of having to deal with us herself. If we pull this off we can impress even her.” Yelin said.

I know, but what if we don’t… I thought. “We need to think of a plan.” I said quietly.

“Agreed.”

Several hours and a truckload of paper later, still, no one had a solid idea. All we’ve come up with is to repeat the first plan with a different person, which is Karen. Costumes are a no, after we decided mobility and speed was more important. If anyone sees us we’re toast anyway.

There are obviously some gaping holes in the plan. The camera Yelin planted in the security room had been removed. We’re pretty sure no one knew who put it there, but it causes some huge problems. How will we know where to get more money? There’s a good chance they keep most of it with them in credit cards anyway. How will Karen have time to find it, when we weren’t sure when btob would be going away and back? How will we blind the suite’s camera without access to the security room?

At around 3 am, we decide to call it quits. I put the hotel floor maps back in Yelin’s desk drawer,Yelin reluctantly shut her laptop, and Karen shut off the lights leaving us in a silent darkness.

<Next Day>

I stood at the entrance to the dark room. Light was shining through the open doorway, and I tried to think of a safer way to do this. Nothin’. So I slowly walked over to the light switch, and flicked up.

“Ay! Get your asses outta bed!”

Yelin jolted upright and hit her head on the ceiling, while Karen proceed to throw a string of profanity my way. I smirked, and ripped the blankets off of both of them.

“UP!”

They groaned, and finally arose like a couple of bedheaded zombies.

“Alright, I already showered, so it’s up to you people to decide who goes next.”

Yelin sleepily raised her hand, however Karen took this opportunity to dash as quickly as she could to the bathroom. The other zombie soon learned what was going on, and followed her on wobbly legs. I laughed quietly, and climbed up the ladder to my bed. I sit there for a while, not being able to do anything but think. My hand finds it’s way in between the wall and my mattress, and my fingers slowly wrap around a small square of fabric. I pull it out, and stare at it.

It was a black, frayed rectangle of fabric with letters and images stitched in red, pink, white, yellow, green, and blue. The letters say: YG, HC, Z, DH, JU, and YJ. I don’t know what they stand for… Initials maybe? They’re drawn down the sides, and in the center is the silhouette of what looks like a rabbit. Inside it says B.A.P. What kind of notorious gang has a bunny as their mascot?! I fell back into the covers and clutched the cloth in my fist until my knuckles turned white.

We first found the cloth in our old apartment. Jong ya said that it was a gang flag. Often, gangs leave one after a raid to show their rank, and power in the community. B.A.P just happens to be the arch enemy of our group. B.A.P. are very powerful, and extremely well known around this area. Mostly because they are responsible for more than 50 raids in the last year. They also only consist of six members, however still have won more than 20 gang fights in the last six months or so. They are high up on the police’s wanted list, and that just makes them even more amazing considering they’re still yet to be caught. That’s one of the reason the three of us stayed in this gang. To get back at them for ruining our last chance at starting out here. And that’s why, no matter what, we need to stay.

<1 Hour Later>

Karen let out a low grumble, and halfheartedly pushed past me, out the door. Yelin went after her, followed by me. The walk there was basically recapping what would happen on the mission. Most of it was the same as last time, however now, Karen would be going in considering that she is a lot faster than I am. Yelin was able to hack their files to find out the schedules, and we all somehow managed to memorize the name and face of each member just in case we come across them.

If everything went perfectly, Sungjae, Ilhoon, and Minhyuk were supposed to get back to the room at around noon. That leaves us about 2 hours to finish all of this. My eyes were locked on the floor, and cloudy. I kept thinking everything over, we really have to get this right. Karen eventually tapped me on the shoulder, and motioned to the back entrance of the building. Me and Yelin were to wait in the sub-lobby while Karen went to the back of the building in order to crawl quickly through the vents, so she can install a new camera in the room. After that, she would quickly go back to the lobby, and we would use Yelin's x-ray software to see if they hid the money anywhere in the room. Then she would go back. The whole time, Yelin will be monitoring all the security footage, and the cameras attached to Karen's and my clothes from the lobby. If all goes well, we will be able to get the 5 billion won (Roughly 5 million USD) that we've been hoping to get the entire time. We suspect the safe to be somewhere in the kitchen judging by our failed attempt last time, and the floor maps Yelin has.

As Yelin and I were seated in the lobby, my eyes scan the screen as she set up the cameras. We had fun, taking random pictures, but Karen soon ran into the lobby, nearly tripping on her untied shoe laces. We both stood up,

Yelin was the first to speak. “Did something happen?” She whispered.

Karens gaze went back to the entrance, our eyes followed. We were all terrified to see 7 arrogant boys strutting into the room. They stopped right in front of us. Shit.Shit.Shit. We backed slightly away, but stopped when one stepped up. He was wearing a beanie, and he had a smile that completely closed his eyes. Dammit what was his name…

“Hyung, be careful.” One of them mumbled

Hyunsik. Now I remember his name! He stands there and stares at us.

“So.. Sightseeing? No offence, but you don’t really look Korean.”

“That cause’ we’re not, you fucki--- Karen snapped. Yelin grabbed her arm.

“What she meant was…..” I stepped in front of her. “We really shouldn’t be bothering you, you’re probably busy.”

“You guys know us?” one with pink hair questioned. Trying to keep up my act, I nod. However Yelin shakes her head, and Karen seems to be dozing off by some plant. They laugh. And I’m just about ready to kick them all in the balls. As I look at them all in a row, something catches my attention. You’ve got to be kidding me. The red haired one, early 20s maybe, is staring straight at Karen, and a younger looking blonde one has his eyes locked on Yelin. He’s most likely a few years younger than the first... There’s one more though. A tall, lanky boy wearing a red baseball cap. He's possibly the youngest, and he’s staring straight at me.

Karen's POV

“You know us?” A guy with pink hair asks. I’m pretty fucking tired. And to be honest, celebrities aren’t the most amusing things to look at. My eyes drift to a pretty fascinating potted plant next to them, and I try my best not to make eye contact with the one inches away from the incredibly grown peony. Wow, would you look at those perfectly shaped petals. surely pollinators must be attracted by the scent and color of this plant. Nonetheless, rafflesia plants are no doubt, the best. Ugh, god, I gotta stop this. Think guns Karen, AK 47s and alsair. Hmm. Red hair, and high cheekbones. Looks pretty easy to knock out.... What in the mother of hell?! This stupid playboy is lockin’ eye contact with me! Damn guy doesn’t know what’s good for him…

I look to Yelin and Karyssa, and I don’t get that much better of a result. There seems to be an awkward lookin’ one starin’ at Karyssa, and a blondie starring Yelin down. They wanna fight? Leggo!

A/N: OKAY GUYS. JUST TO SMOOTH THINGS OUT, YES, WE DECIDED TO MAKE EACH POV IT'S OWN CHAPTER. OUR REASONS FOR DOING THIS IS THAT SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO UPDATE MUCH SOONER, AND SO WE DON'T HAVE TO THROW A MONSTER CHAPTER AT YOU LIKE EVERY 3 MONTHS.... IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING, KAREN DOES HAVE A MINI POV IN THIS CHAPTER, HOWEVER SHE WILL STILL HAVE HER OWN PART FOLLOWING YELIN'S. ALSO, WE ARE PLANNING A SURPRISE CHAPTER, SO PREPARE FOR THAT :)
