Facade - Banginho/MinChan

Chapter Eighteen

Guess he was going to move.

"Hey, Chris."

Chris walked into the alleyway, seeing Tekit and Slick already there. Chris sighed and waved back. "Hey. Thanks for coming to meet once again."

Slick gave Chris his usual half-smile. "N-no problem. W-what'd y-you want to m-meet u-up about?"

Chris stuffed his hands in his pockets. "So, uh... I finally broke up with my boyfriend because of the whole thinking that he's Strike thing, and I want to uh... I don't know... I guess reveal Strike's identity and see if he really was my boy- er, ex."

Tekit raised an eyebrow. "You want to reveal his identity? In front of everyone?"

Chris shrugged. "Yeah, sure I guess. Honestly, if he is Strike, I wouldn't mind if everyone knew his identity. He ruined my life, and I've kind of been numb to the emotions that I thought I felt for him as a friend and as something more than that."

And that was quite true. As Chris kept thinking about it, he began to let go of the image of his best friend. The person he knew was all something that was far different from the truth.

Everything good that Minho has done got burned by the idea of Minho being the one that killed his family.

Tekit made an o shape with his mouth. "Okay. So how did you want to do this?"

Chris tapped his foot. "Uh, I was thinking that we could confront him and maybe Mega somewhere public when they least expect it..."

"Least expect it? You mean like at a time or place where they don't think they'll show up?"

Chris clicked his tongue. "Yeah..."

Slick perked up. "W-we can do it l-like l-literally right a-after they s-stop a crime. Th-they think th-that they a-are done, b-but in reality th-they won't be. They'll n-never e-expect it."

Chris raised his eyebrows. "That's actually a... really good idea."

Slick smiled. "Th-thanks."

Tekit looked between the other two. "But, how could we know when a crime happens and how would we all know when to go? It'd be kind of hard to coordinate, especially considering that crime is irregular and that we'll all be separated."

Chris brushed some of his hair out of his face. "Well, to fix the separation problem, we could literally just be together indefinitely. I could really care less about school to be completely honest."

"But then how would we know when Strike and Mega are out stopping crime?"

Slick shrugged. "R-radios?"

Tekit facepalmed. "Oh right, those exist. I'm such an idiot."

Chris chuckled. "For such a tech genius, I would've expected you to think of that."

Tekit shrugged. "I'm honestly just stupid. You should expect this. Anyways, back to the point, uh, we could all just stay at where I live. I'm sure none of us want to stay at Slickie's dumb sewer."

Slick playfully slapped Tekit. "R-rude."

Chris shook his head, chuckling. "Wow. Okay, I'm down, but... where do you live?"

"Oh. I live in the garage unit in one of the apartment buildings near here. It sounds strange, I know, but literally nobody uses it because there are two for some reason and the other one has so much more space. Plus, I do have an agreement with the owner-"

Slick playfully scoffed. "A-agreement? W-we both know that isn't t-true. Y-you threatened th-the p-poor d-dude-"

Tekit's volume raised. "Okay, yeah, but that's a story for another day."

Chris raised an eyebrow. "I'll just not ask."

Tekit chuckled nervously. "Anyways, we could just vibe until we get a report on crime. It probably wouldn't take that long as the crime rates have been higher nowadays."

Chris nodded. "Yeah. That sounds good. Then we could commit a big crime or something to reveal Strike's identity."

"Yes."

"Sounds good. When shall we do this?"

Slick shrugged, shivering. "T-tomorrow?"

Chris blinked. "That early? I mean sure, I really want to get this over with and done, but I would've thought it'd be later since we usually plan for like a week in advance. But sure, I'm down for tomorrow."

Tekit nodded. "I am too. Let's meet here tomorrow again and I'll lead you back to where I live. Bring some things in case you get bored."

"Okay, sounds good."

Finally, this was the moment he was waiting for.

A/N this book is actually going to shit and I'm not saying that to get pity or bE rELatAbLe, but like literally. I messed up some of the plot and stuff near the beginning which affected the rest of the book and writing so overall it's going quite bad. I'll explain more in detail what exactly my screw up was at the end in my outro chapter, but like, I might have to rewrite this whole book (anti is completely fine, the screw up started at the beginning of facade)
