TRUST || STRAY KIDS

PART V - DOUBTS

Her doubts became clearer once she found her loitering around the game floor while chattering with someone. How can someone who has lost their invitation can get inside the building? Thanks for her bad feeling, she decided not to use Hanna's invitation card and joined Chang Kyun and Jae Hyun on being a waitress upstairs. Chang Bin agreed though, saying that it would be suspicious for them to use all the invitation cards. So, in the end Chang Bin and Min Ho used the invitations.

"What's wrong?" Jae Hyun approached her, not to obvious.

"Look there. The girl in black dress, 10 o'clock," she nodded towards the girl downstairs. "Isn't she familiar?" Jae Hyun only nodded, visible enough for her to see. A few seconds break and his jaw started to drop. Realization hit him like a truck.

"Isn't that.." he stopped mid-way.

"Yup," she sighed. "Hopefully she didn't saw Min Ho or else it could get messy." She walked away from the railings and headed towards the customer who raised their hand hoping the waiter could take the orders.

Move to the game floor, Chang Bin was in a middle of the game with one of Jackson underlings. His clothes really did a good job by covering his true age, making him looked several years older. Not to mention Y/N's mustache final touch. No wonder his underlings couldn't figure out who he is.

On the other side, Min Ho was watching a game with a champagne hold on his hand. Just like how businessman act when they're invited to a big event. Fine suit wrapped his built body perfectly making some of the female sparing glances at him. However, he rejected her offer though when she offered to add some mustache like Chang Bin did. He said it would cover up his handsomeness. Sick of hearing his narcistic remarks, she backed off immediately. Never knew that mustache will help him in dangerous situation.

"Oh? Mister magician?" such as this. This 'Hanna' girl tapped his shoulder lightly for him to notice. He was startled of course, but still look composed. "You're invited? It must be fate!" Her cheerful voice really felt like hell for him. He never knew they will meet again. Not to mention, here of all places.

"I know right? I didn't know you're invited into this game too," he played his act nicely. They giggled as the conversation beginning to melt, talking about the time they started their first poker game. Until she slowly asked the question he afraid of.

"Oh yeah, I can't find my invitation by the way. I seemed to lose it when we met last night. Thank goodness that the security let me in since they recognize who I am," she laughed playfully. She noticed his eyes wavered for a second before his calmness take over again.

"Are you sure? Have you check your purse carefully? It might be slipped somewhere there," he glanced at her white leather purse. As if his words were a sign for him to make his move, Johnny, who designated to be a waiter downstairs swiftly walked pass behind her and put her invitation card right into her purse. His hand was fast enough for anyone to see clearly. Thanks to the crowded situation, no security guard could catch on to that.

"Oh my! You're right! I might be a klutz," she chuckled after picking her invitation card out of her purse. He smiled sweetly at her, trying to calm down his fast heartbeat. This morning, Y/N suddenly talked about her disturbing feeling which ended in not using Hanna's card. Though he wanted to argue, Chang Bin talked first making him lost his chance. After that, she looked at him and Johnny to take her card in case something worst happened. Not expecting that the worst-case scenario fit perfectly with her prediction. Min Ho thanked her a few times in his heart while still maintaining eye contact with her. "I didn't get a chance to know your name. I'm Hanna. Kim Hanna."

"Min Ho," he blabbered. Maybe that's a wrong move on his side. Seung Min told them not to mention their real name in case someone asked for their identity. Well, what do you expect when his adrenaline took over him? He can't even think clearly after she tapped his shoulder. Seung Min didn't join the plan inside the building tonight as he was told to secure the outside perimeter inside their van. People might start to wonder why an underage kid could come inside the event.

"You piece of shit!" the man shouted, making a scene on the game table while Chang Bin just stayed calm. Just like Chang Bin said, his underlings had a short temper and would throw tantrum once they lost. Once one of them lose their temper, it's a signal for them to leave the place immediately. Moving on to the next plan.

Chang Bin put his fake identity card on the poker table by saying in case they want a rematch. He'll be more than glad to have another rematch with bigger stake next time. That made them explode and make a scene. Starting by throwing the chair or even the wine glass everywhere. Perfect for them to make an escape. Chang Bin did perfectly escape from the scene while Min Ho got a little trouble there. Hanna tugged him once he was about to leave the place, saying something such as 'where are you going?', 'when will we meet again?', and so on. Panic took over, he only planted a kiss on her cheek to shut her up and giving a wink before leaving the place.

"I admit you really got some sense there, miss," Johnny commended outside the building.

"What?"

"Apparently, the girl remembered Min Ho," he explained. "If it's not because of you who said not to use her card, we'll be in big trouble." She was about to say something before her focus suddenly averted to Min Ho who just joined the others outside the building.

"What? I'm just a second late," he defended himself.

"Did she do something to you?" Chang Kyun asked. "I heard you met with this Hanna girl."

"Yeah, I did. But, thanks to Y/N I escaped," he shrugged.

"Then, why are you late? More than Chang Bin," she made a point. They already expected Chang Bin will join them later than the other since he's closer to the scene. If it was Min Ho who got late, then there must be something that held him inside. "Don't tell me that girl held you up?"

"Come on, not this again," he rolled his eyes, annoyed at her. "Fine! She asked me 'where are you going?' and so on that's why I'm late. Happy?"

"What did you say?" Chang Bin asked in a serious low tone.

"I kissed her.. on her cheek," he looked away. The others groaned after hearing his reply.

"Are you guys not going home or what?" Seung Min half shouted from the van, annoyed watching them having a chit chat instead of hopping in. Jae Hyun started to explain everything inside the building to Seung Min including the incident where Min Ho get caught by Hanna. Obviously, he let out a huge groaned after hearing the whole thing.

She was not frustrated by him kissing her, but it means she knew him and probably about the others too. Not to mention she can get inside the event without her invitation cards. Although Min Ho said the security guards knew her face which can led her into someone famous around the circle. However, the only famous people right there was Jackson and his gangs. It still possible that Hanna could be one of his underlings too. Once she got Min Ho, she'll get easier access to their plan. And that's what she scared the most.

"Frustrated?" Chang Bin sighed beside her, watching the others entered his residence from behind. She nodded her head, while letting another sighed escape her mouth.

"I have a feeling she might have a connection with Jackson. We need to do something," she suggested while Chang Bin agreed silently. "It's only a matter of time until she persuaded Min Ho. Looking at how his panic took over him, he might not think clear once she persuades him. In case that happened, let's carry out another plan."

"And what would it be?" Chang Bin now looked at her, interested with her suggestion.

"You'll know it sooner or later," she huffed and joined the others entering his residence. Min Ho was still being scolded by Johnny and Seung Min from his recent action. While Chang Kyun and Jae Hyun went to prepare dinner. Noticing how Johnny and Seung Min won't end their nagging any minute, she went to the kitchen joining the two boys.
