"should we even be here?"
mirae hissed at her project partner. "shut the fuck up he'll hear you." she made a motion with her thumb running across her throat, which ultimately made minho press his lips together. he mentally wondered how he got into this mess from doing their project escalated to stalking someone in an abandoned building.
days ago, they had discussed the details and material for the history work. the project is to study long passages of ancient craps they were assigned to and presentate them in front of the class. it may sound simple but you won't be resting easily once you saw a Microsoft PowerPoint blank page and your phonebook-thick history textbook. since minho's a newcomer and didn't really know much of the school's premises, he let mirae take the lead.
the two agreed to work on it on sunday at a cafe which (apparently) is near mirae's house. they saw each other on the way to the cafe and it couldn't be more awkward when both of them realized mirae was the girl whom minho helped weeks ago. she was 👌 close to calling it quits.
the cafe's quiet atmosphere isn't ruined by their work, until some bright haired guy minho doesn't know hurriedly passed the building. he only saw him because he was bored out of his mind. it also seemed the other had seen him too, as mirae suddenly shoved her laptop and books to her bag and scurried out of the cafe, almost toppling her iced chocolate.
in absolute confusion, minho tried to call her but wasn't responded. so he packed his things quickly, paid their drinks (that fucker is gonna pay.) and followed the direction mirae is going to.
they paced through the neighborhood. the girl hadn't realized minho was following before she stopped shortly catching her breath and hears him yelling.
"where are you going?"
still not responding, she dragged him to an empty, old building, climbed up the roof through a ladder (where the hell she found that?), and conveniently finds a fissure in the attic's floor, where they saw a dim room and the bright haired dude.
"you know him?" minho whispered lowly.
mirae crouched, trying to move and not make a creaking sound. "that's—"
then she remembers, minho hadn't met felix yet, and not knowing the mess that is her brother's disappearance or even knows she had one. also the fact that the guy's relation to their teacher. biting her lip, she mumbled, "he's someone the year below us, he hasn't been attending classes."
the other cocked a brow, "are you the school's president trying to bust him?"
"no—just—ugh," mirae peered over the hole, "wait, someone's coming."
she pulled minho back slightly so he couldn't be seen. downstairs, they saw another male clad in beige clothing wearing a cap approaching felix, they greeted eachother. mirae furrowed her brows, she heard that voice before, turning to her side, minho was covering his mouth.
"jinwoo hyung?"
"who—?" but mirae refrains from asking when they heard felix and this 'jinwoo' conversing.
"hyung, i thought you were someone else, i swear i heard something coming here—" the two eavesdroppers shared a look.
"you didn't wear your contacts, shit's creepy you know." felix's deep voice echoes on the room as he walked towards the other end of the room.
jinwoo laughed. mirae frowns, she swore that sound is so familiar but she couldn't pinpoint whom it belonged to. "so how are they progressing?" "honestly, it's bad. but our intel is okay. we managed to get a hold of the company information and their communications from the operator." felix stops for a moment before continuing, "can't believe they're your lot."
"used to be." jinwoo corrects him, also going to the other end of the room, they heard him rummage with some of the craters. "honestly, i don't think they even care about me anymore. more reason to bring them down, what filths."
"then what about your s—" the area suddenly became quiet. mirae furrows her brows when all she heard was shuffling, and typing sounds of an old keyboard. and muffled whispers, they can't see what felix and jinwoo are doing without getting caught.
