Diving off the rooftop, Hyunjin grabbed onto the ledge of the building, watching the people underneath him bitch and whine about some event. He didn't exactly listen to them seeing as they weren't important.

He dropped onto the ground once he saw no one around, landing on his feet, ignoring the slight sting in his heels.

He ripped the mask around his lower face off, and hid it in his back pocket, running his hand over the tiny pink pocket knife in his back pocket as well. It was today he would kill the prince in cold blood.

Hyunjin walked a little further until he saw the street, lanterns hanging off of thin strings that were hung up by poles, little shops on each side every step you took, and the chatter of people talking and squealing.

Walking through the crowd, Hyunjin spotted both Jisung and Felix, waiting for Hyunjin to give them the clear to start whatever they were gonna do while he slipped away into the castle.

Hyunjin looked around the small town, learning ways to sneak in and out if something were to go wrong.

He heard Jisung whine innocently about something to someone over the earpiece that fit snuggly in his ear, Jisung forgot to turn it off, Hyunjin rolled his eyes.

After inspecting the routes to escape, Hyunjin walked around, waiting for the prince to arrive, anxiously tapping his foot on the ground when he stopped or innocently talked to a stranger, acting as if nothing would happen.

"Prince should be arriving in twelve minutes" Said a deep voice, Hyunjin was able to hear it clearly, and nodded acting as if Felix could hear him.

"Thanks" replied Hyunjin, quietly, trying not to draw attention to himself with all the people around.

As Felix estimated, the prince appeared, a few guards on horses strolling beside him, a silky white shirt he wore, along with his hair not styled in anyway, only letting it cover his eyes, the tight black pants with the almost knee high boots.

"Clear." Hyunjin mumbled, running away from the crowd, he heard screams surround him, his nostrils catching the smell of fire, fire, of course, he sarcastically thought, the sound of horses galloping away and into the castle caught his attention out of all the screaming.

He ran through a small alleyway he found when looking for routes to escape, he jumped over some bags and boxes, and quickly got to the end of the alleyway.

He heard the galloping pass by, and the voices of men. Perfect. He followed the sound of the yelling and horses hoofs stomping on the ground, taking a small secret passage to get to the castle quicker.

He grabbed onto the rope that he had hung onto a building rooftop, and climbed up the building swiftly, getting to the roof, he started running again, his heartbeat becoming quicker by each minute.

He hopped onto another roof, rolling on his back and using his hands to push him back up and continue to run, ignoring the sting on his palms.

He looked down, seeing how the horses that the guards used were behind him, the prince on the right horse, hiding behind a guard. He sped up.

He jumped off the building, and stood in front of the castle, waiting for the click of the gates to know Jisung had unlocked it. A click came right after he got there.

He ran into the castle, hiding in the shadows, holding his breath, and running off the the prince's room.

This is it, he thought and opened the door, closing it behind him softly and hid underneath the queen sized bed.

He heard a small and a loud "No leaving" and a dip on the bed, he crawled quietly from underneath the bed and stood face to face with the prince. A lazy smirk on Hyunjin's face appeared when he saw the prince's face change into horror.
