Wonderland // ATEEZ

If they haven't changed the pass codes, I can get in just fine. The Beta with dark hair called out through his mind link to his mate who was outside, waiting for his cue.

Okay, love. Please be careful. Call for me if there appears to be any suspicion that we are here. The slightly younger Alpha pleaded with concern. He knows his mate is more than capable of taking care of himself, but they can never be too careful, especially when dealing with one of the most prestigious and modernized fertility laboratories in Supreme City. This lab, called Prism, is known throughout the land to have some of the best technology and surveillance.

Though, the couple would know that better than most.

Joong, I'll be fine. You know that. I love you. Seonghwa reassured.

Hongjoong couldn't help but worry when it came to his lover. Let me know when it's time and Jongho and I will infiltrate the building.

This was the hardest part for the Alpha. He felt like a bad Alpha whenever he had to let his Beta take the lead in one of their missions, while he sat in the woods just a short distance away from the lab, on standby until the okay to move forward is given.

But Seonghwa knew what he was doing. He knew these labs better than anyone, especially this one that's on the northeast side of the city. And Hongjoong trusted his mate. He trusted Seonghwa more than anyone and with a mission so valuable, he needed to trust.

Right now the Alpha is really thankful to have Jongho by his side to help keep him calm. He's glad that the other Beta immediately agreed to join their duo, especially right before this mission.

This isn't the first rodeo for Hongjoong and Seonghwa, but the other labs they have taken over weren't like this one. Those expeditions were child's play in comparison to the task at hand today, but this one was the most important to Hongjoong so far. They could use all the help they can get.

This was personal.

"Alright Jongho, let's make sure we're ready" the leader whispered as he set their bag of extra clothes down, covering it under some brush at the bottom of the hill that led up to clearing of the woods. It's just in case, for whatever reason, they have to shift, which would tear their current clothes to shreds.

Jongho adjusted the pack on his back that carried some of their supplies before following the Alpha up the hill. He was nervous, but he couldn't let Hongjoong know. He wanted to succeed just as much as the Alpha.

Seonghwa knew he was smart for keeping his old key card for this building. After the way he left, you'd think that their security team would be smart enough to update their system, but they probably thought the Beta would be too intimidated to really come back.

That's typical, smug Alpha for you. The Beta rolled his eyes as he made it inside the back gate of his old work building by pressing his key card against the lock and waiting for the chime that let him know it was okay to enter.

Knowing exactly where the outside security cameras were placed, Seonghwa darted through the shadows where he knew he wouldn't be picked up on screen. He's betting that the dumb Alphas in charge of surveillance wouldn't be paying attention anyways, but it's better to be on the safe side.

The Beta made it to the back door, which would lead him straight to the control room. That was his target. There was a small keypad on the right-hand side of the metal doorway and Seonghwa internally prayed that the pass code remained the same from when he left over a year ago. It's hard to say with that kind of time frame.

He hesitantly pressed 99374212* into the box and waited for any of their alarms to ring, which could potentially ruin the whole mission, or for the box to turn green, meaning he's succeeded to enter.
