Chapter 38: The Plan Of All Plans

"You got yourself out of the Jung Company, right? Think you can get the three of us out of here?" Cho asks, a tiny bit of hope in her eyes. I glance over to Jimin who's got a surprised but extremely hopeful look in his eyes as they both await my answer. Biting my lip, I give Cho a small smile.

"Do you forgive me for lying about who I was?" I question quietly, needing to know the answer desperately before I can properly think of getting us all out of here. She sighs softly before a small smile graces her soft lips.

"Yes, Hoseok. I forgive you. I understand why you did it, and clearly you're still on my side." She answers in a gentle tone. Not being able to contain my excitement and happiness, I lean in and peck her lips a couple times, making her giggle cutely before I finally stop.

"If we're gonna get out of here, we're gonna go out in style." I tell them both as I pull away from her completely, glancing between both of them. Their eyes both light up with a certain excited curiosity while Cho moves over to my side, curling up against me. I chuckle softly at her actions, clearly happy and content that she's able to trust me and still be with me.

"Do you have a plan of some sort?" Jimin asks curiously, eyeing the two of us a bit. Smiling at the smaller boy, I simply scoop Cho up in my arms, ignoring the bit of pain from the nearly healed bullet wounds as I move us over a bit. Having created a space for Jimin, I pat the spot beside me before he happy takes it and curls into my side as well.

"Well, here's my thoughts. I certainly would love to get back at my father. And I can't imagine that Choyeon wouldn't like to get back at her father for being such a complete dick all the time. What better way for me to get back at my father, than to show up to the Peace Ball after being missing for three months and with the family rivalry's daughter on my arm, no less? And, I can't imagine Mr. Kim would be a huge fan to find that his daughter's dating their enemy's only son. Now, wouldn't it just be the icing on the cake to top it all off by bringing down both the Empire and the Company in the same day together?" I explain, glancing down at the two. Cho looks up at me with a small excited smile, leaning up and kissing my cheek.

"But how would we pull it all off? And what about what happened with Namjoon?" She asks softly. I merely smirk.

"He'll get to have his own revenge by being one of the officers at the raid for the ball. It'd be a hell of a surprise to have your own son whom you've thought for years to be dead, be the one handcuffing you. I've got more than enough shit that I can easily pull on the Jung Company as long as I've got access to a computer. If you can get me enough shit to warrant tons of arrests, and no less on your father and brother specifically? I just need you to get me the information and I'll handle getting it taken care of and to the right people." I inform her, kissing the top of her head.

"Yeah, I can definitely do that. But how the hell are we gonna get out of there alive?" She questions curiously. I smile, laying my head atop hers lightly.

"We have Jimin order a taxi for us. They won't suspect the call to come from him rather than either of us. We'll take it to the airport and get the hell out of this place. Maybe go to one of the smaller cities or towns here in Korea. The police would all too easily suspect us to get out of the country in order to avoid being arrested. And actually, if we stay in country then we could just take the taxi to a car rental and leave that way. Would be even less suspected. Pay with cash and they can't track us. As for getting out of the ball, I'll have to go through and pull up a schematic of the building. Pinpoint viable exit routes. We'll go in, show our faces to wind up a little trouble, and get the fuck out just before the police arrive." I elaborate cleanly. They both smile up at me.

"You guys really wanna take me along with you?" Jimin asks softly, looking between the two of us in gentle surprise. Taking a peak at Cho, I can see the approving smile on her face. I smile down at Jimin in turn, kissing the top of his head.

"Of course, Jiminie. You're family to us. Family to Cho which makes you family to me." I tell him gently, ruffling his hair lightly. He just grins back at the two of us before leaning his head against my chest.

"You're certain you can pull this off?" Choyeon asks quietly, looking up at me with a hopeful look. I give her a reassuring smile, leaning down and pressing my lips gently against hers in a chaste kiss.

"I did it once, didn't I? Who's to say I can't do it again?"
