orphic [HyunSeung]

3. Knowledge

It was almost midnight when Minho climbed through the window and practically skipped down the metal stairs of the base, Chan figured that he found something to his liking.

It was Sunday, so it was a rather calm day for the whole gang. Changbin and Jisung were still on their task to track down Bonhwa but the others had a free day if you wish.
And with having no especially given task for the day, Minho took the time to take a look at that Hyunjin dude. 

He had already found a bunch of info about him online during daylight and looked through his social media but it wasn't that interesting, honestly. So instead he wanted to see if he was running around somewhere close, still. 
So once the sun went down Minho made his way to the bar Seungmin was on lookout the night before.

After looking at his pictures on SNS is wasn't hard to find the boy sitting at the bar, talking with some old dude.
Minho kept himself in the shadows, something he was rather good at being the intel for an undercover gang for several years now, therefore most of the people in the bar didn't even notice him, to begin with. 

When Hyunjin and that dude left the bar hours later, he silently followed them with a good amount of distance, placing every step carefully.
They entered some sort of hotel which seemed too fancy for such a neighbourhood if Minho was honest, but he didn't care to think about it more. Instead, he made himself ready for an unknown length of wait because a good intel is patient and brings the information needed, no matter what happens. And he most definitely won't stop now and go back with near to nothing. 

And he was right, it was worth the wait, because not even half an hour later Hyunjin left the hotel again, alone this time while still trying to arrange his hair and clothes.
The way he was unnoticeable nervously keeping his hand in the pocket of his jacket left Minho to guess that there was money in it.

Still staying in the shadows, he continued to keep track of the boy, following him to what seems to be his home. Or at least some place he had the keys for... the outer appearance of the building didn't fit in the image Hyunjin gave of himself online.

Not knowing whether or not Hyunjin might come out again, Minho decided to look around the place a bit. 
Technically, he knew most parts of the city and it's outer, rather unlively and dark parts, but it was never a bad idea to refresh your knowledge, right?
But when doing so, he knew he had to be extremely careful. He wasn't in his own territory anymore and who knows what sort of gangs and subgroups might run around here.

While walking around, he made sure to come across Hyunjin's street every now and then to see if he was anywhere to be seen again. 

After almost an hour of strolling around, Minho did in fact see Hyunjn leave the house again, causing Minho to put his full concentration on the other male and his possible destination again. 

Sooner than he thought, he saw a familiar face lurking in the alley Hyunjin entered. 

'This just got interesting' 

"What did you find out?", Chan asked him once he was close enough he wouldn't have to yell as most of those who didn't have to do anything already went to bed.
"Well, other than all that uninteresting stuff any of us could find out I found out that one, he seems to sleep with older dudes for money" Minho began, sitting down on the desk of their leader. "And second, he seems to have some kind of connection with Jackson's gang. Or at least a few of them" he then continued to the more interesting part.

Chan raised an eyebrow at that. "Jackson's gang? The one lead by Jaebum? There's no way he's involved with them" he argued.
"It's what I saw. And when have I ever given wrong information? He met up with Jackson and a few others and went somewhere, I didn't follow them too far though, they entered G7's territory fairly fast" Minho shrugged.
"Well, maybe he just knows Jackson by coincidence. There's no way that Seungmin could point a gun at him and threaten him without him returning it if he was a part of them. And even if he wouldn't have had any weapon with him, he would've reported to JB and we would have had one of them on our doorstep by now" Chan frowned.

"That's just what I saw. I wasn't close enough to hear anything though... Oh, I also found out where he seems to live. It's apparently unmarked territory, or at least I didn't find any graffitis that told me otherwise" Minho added to which Chan nodded, his thought seemingly already somewhere else. 

"If there's the possibility that he's somehow part of JB's gang we can't tell anything you found out tonight to Seungmin, okay? He would probably beat himself up even more than he already does for the failed mission" Chan told him, now it was Minho who just nodded. "I'll call Jihyo later and ask if they know anything about him and if they could help us make sure that he isn't a threat to any of us" he then said, even though it was more rather to himself than to Minho. 
"You did good, Minho, get some rest," the older said, standing up from his chair. 

Minho also hopped down from the table again. "Sure, you too," he said before leaving to the back and going to his room.
