Kookie's Universe || BTS✨

16. Secretive

"Ok. Enough of this." Sugilite sighed, running a hand through his purple locks.

"What are you up to?"

It had been a couple weeks since Jemin and Jungkook's episode, and all the while Namjewel had been cooking up something elaborate.

He hadn't specifically told Sugilite, Seokjem and Hopal what he was planning but he had them playing a big role in it.

It started with asking them to take apart their ship's communication, locating and AI systems in order to rebuild them into the house. Since the ship's tech was so sophisticated, all the inner workings of the vessel pretty much were made to build off of each other. This meant that if they took out any of the systems built into it, the ship itself would be rendered useless.

This troubled the gems that were asked to do it, but they trusted Namjewel knew best and didn't ask any questions. Even if they were basically destroying their only means of getting home if the opportunity ever arose, they knew their leader would have a good reason for asking them to do it that would be worth it in the end.

Putting Home World tech into a run down Earth house had to be one of the hardest things they'd ever had to do. However, they completed it in a day and a half, and it was a nice addition to otherwise lackluster living quarters.

AI was especially an indispensable resource. Technically, she was made to be an extension of the system they'd installed into their underground HQ back on Home World. She was still connected to their databases that were back home even lightyears away from it. Everything they had access to there they could access through AI here.

Fondly, they referred to her as ARMY.

After they'd consulted ARMY about the state of their home planet and the best way to make this fixer-upper into a makeshift HQ, Namjewel started to hatch another part of his plan.

Investigating the Jeon household.

Again, the other gems did what was asked of them, letting no questions leave their lips.

They'd used some scanners and some stolen DJD (Diamond Justice Department) equipment to gather information to send back to ARMY. Namjewel wanted to know if the diamonds had left any evidence of them being there. Anything was better than nothing to work with in the game of cat and mouse The Gems were playing with the diamonds.

After scouring the Jeon residence for hours, Seokjem, Hopal, Sugilite and Namjewel were all gathered in the newly developed computer room in the master bedroom of their HQ 2.0.

Namjewel was on the main computer sorting through everything ARMY was able to identify from the Jeon house.

"If you explain, maybe we'll be able to help better." Sugilite added, growing tired of Namjewel's silent obsession with the unknown plan.

The leader let out a deep sigh and finally peeled his eyes away from the screen for the first time since the others completed their task 48 hours ago.

"If I tell you, you'll think I'm losing it." Namjewel rasped, voice gravely from not using it in 2 days.

"No offense, but we kinda wrote you off your rocker a while back." Hopal said.

"I mean seriously Namjewel, you haven't eaten, drank or slept in 2 days. Can you please tell us what is so important that you don't even have the time to take care of yourself or explain what's going on?" Seokjem chided, eyebrows drawing close together.

Another long sigh left the brown gem's lips. He rubbed a large hand over the tired features of his face, taking a second to pinch at the bridge of his nose.
