Ripple: BTS AU Story ✓

Chapter 36

It's another day and it's another chapter. Things are about to get a little crazy, so be prepared. This happens on the same day as the last chapter. Let's see how our boys fair as spies. I don't know about you, but I think they should stick to music. Creeping around and being quiet isn't really their thing, but let's find out. Shall we?

The boys all stand in the parking lot where Selina lives. They are hiding behind a black van that Namjoon had rented. The group got here early, anxious to see if the person following Selina is actually Theodore. All the time they've been here, they haven't spotted anyone out of the ordinary. Selina is inside of her apartment, still not heading to work for another fifteen or so minutes. "Why did we get here so early?" Jungkook grumbles, leaning against the truck.

Hoseok sighs, "We were hoping to catch Theodore as quick as possible."

"Well, he's clearly not here," Jungkook huffs.

Jin sighs, "Be patient, Kookie."

"And keep your voices down," Jimin states, "It's enough that Tae is wearing a bright red sweater. We don't want to get caught."

"Yeah, what's that about anyway," Yoongi says, pointing at Taehyung. The group are all clothed in different types of black clothing. They may not be experts when it comes to stakeouts, but they know that the best way to stay hidden is to wear dark clothes. The only one that didn't seem to get the memo is Kim Taehyung. He has a red sweater on that makes him stand out amongst the group. "I'm sorry that I'm not like the rest of you and have bland colored clothes in my closet," Taehyung exclaims, "This is the darkest color I had!"

"We're screwed," Yoongi states. The others can't help but nod their heads. You could spot Taehyung and his fashionable red sweater a mile away. "We just have to make do with this," Namjoon shakes his head, "Just stand in front of him and cover Taehyung the best you can. Hopefully, he doesn't stick out as much as we know he does."

"Okay...I have another question," Jungkook says, "Are we just gonna jump on top of Theodore?"

"What type of question is that?" Yoongi mutters, a tad bit annoyed with how long they have been just waiting.

"An honest one," Jungkook fires back, "Even if we spot him, how do we catch him? He's not just going to hold his hands up and say I surrender!"

"Will you stop talking so loudly? Do you want to let everyone know where we are and what we're doing?" Yoongi snaps, "Also, you're giving me a freaking migraine."

"I'm sorry, hyung, but I am a tad bit worried about what could happen if we don't plan this out! We didn't really think past spotting Theodore. What if he's carrying a gun or something? How do we plan on dealing with that?" Jungkook exclaims.

"Calm down. How about we just surround him the second we spot him? We'll have him outnumbered and he'll be so surprised, he won't be able to pull any weapon out," Jin suggests.

Jimin nods in agreement, "And if he still pulls out a gun on us, we have Wonho by our side and I have a gun hidden in my coat." Jungkook seems satisfied with that answer and the group falls quiet again. They stare at the entrance of the apartment complex, but there's still nothing happening. "Wait a minute...did you say that Wonho has our back?" Namjoon says suddenly, "Cause, he doesn't."

"What do you mean he doesn't?" Hoseok says, "Does he not know what we're doing? Is he not standing by waiting for your possible call of SOS?" Namjoon shakes his head and the rest of the group look to him with shock. Maybe, it's from their boredom. Or maybe, it's their anxiety and nerves about what's to come with Theodore. Whatever the cause may be, anger boils in the boys as Namjoon moves his head from left to right. They erupt into complete chaos within seconds. "How could you not tell him!?" Jin exclaims.
