Moon Star (Moonbyul x Xiumin)

Chapter 7

"New engine which doesn't malfunction as much as they usually do, surface polished with a basic bulletproof layer liquid, new buttons to access the newly added roof and to change the wheels' design, and the best part, black mirrors which only appear when you want it to!"

Then he shot me a hesitating grin in between the last sentence and the next.

"Okay, not actually the best part. I just find it amazing myself, heh. A simple silver chloride layered glass is the trick! Now, precious is all set and ready to go!"

Sandeul gave my precious his satisfied grin, and somehow I felt like I was watching a mad scientist indulging in some guilty pleasure that will release his genius hormones.

I walked towards the shiny surfaced car, opening the door and examining the insides of it.

"So?" Sandeul asked, still grinning.

"Not bad." I turned back at him. "But why didn't you add those features before? I could've at least save my precious from all the freaking bullets last time if you did."

"Well, I just got approval from the boss to use them. Geez. Why can't you at least say thank you?" Sandeul rubbed both his hands on a white towel, only to make it stained with black oil.

I smirked. "Thank you so much, Sandeul. Now, I have to go." I turned to Xiu Min who was standing near us the whole time, only listening to our conversation without a word. "My client is my top priority, as you can see."

Sandeul rolled his eyes. Well, almost everyone does that in response to my sarcasm.

"Okay, okay. If anything happens again, you know how to contact us. Well, at least Hyun Woo. He's always on the line."

I got into the driver's seat, closing the door with a confident pull. I gestured Xiu Min to get in and he didn't waste a minute to get into the backseat.

"Next time, give me the information I don't know, Sandeul-ah. Anyways, I'll make your specially added features to good cause, or probably come back with a ruined car again. I'm betting on the latter option, though."

Sandeul raised his brows along with his eyeballs facing upwards, pretending to be offended.

"Har, har! Oh, I almost forgot. Press the blue button on your steering wheel and a screen will appear in front of you, a hologram screen to help you detect your way when you are in danger."

I chuckled, nodding my head with a proud look towards my precious. "Now that is something I wanted to know. I'll see you when I see you then!"

The sun was at its peak when we started our journey, and I made a decision to go back into the cities of Seoul, where the people who might be searching for us- or probably just me- may not be able to expect we were hiding. I was still in the middle of choosing whether I should stay close in the heart of Seoul or run around different districts.

I adjusted my front mirror and took a quick glance to the sleeping Xiu Min. I don't know why, but he's the simplest client I have ever had so far. I mean, this is the first time I kidnapped a really famous celebrity. Maybe famous people are more relaxed than normal ones. Basically because they're people with fame, so if anything happens to them, of course millions of people will be searching without hesitation. But normal people? Even if they die, the chances of them getting attention for being kidnapped is only from the police, if the police haven't gave up yet, of course.

That's why this time I'm having quite a hard time to keep Xiu Min as my client. Very hard.

I remembered Sandeul telling me about a hologram screen, might as well give it a try. I searched for the blue button he mentioned, and when I did I gave it a firm press. In an instant second, a faint blue screen began to appear before my eyes, distracting me from the road.
