Raindrops were smashing against the car window almost as violently as your heart was beating inside your chest.
InSu's voice was ringing in your ears as he was explaining to you everything Jungkook was doing inside the villa for he had to go ahead.
He had called his manager to check on his whereabouts and after he learned that he was now home, Jungkook had decided to give you reassurance by pretending to visit him and keep Mr Duho distracted, until you were to finish with the invasion of that particular room.
A room that InSu could have no visible view of, for despite the fact that Jungkook had put his phone to change once inside and InSu had used his phone to hack further all the security systems of the house, he found no cameras anywhere near the room you had spoken to him about.
Whatever that room was, it certainly had a different security system he could not detect and thus one you couldn't break into by hacking. Good thing you had the right blood sample to enter through it the right way.
However, getting to that window was still a challenge and the sudden storm that broke out sure wasn't helping even more.
You had already changed your clothes to more appropriate ones and made sure you were wearing some good flat shoes. You had even tested the equipment you picked up from Jimin's apartment, just to get the hang of how everything is supposed to work. However, despite it all, you were still full of nervousness.
"It's fine. They won't kill me even if they catch me red-handed....or at least I hope they won't." You murmured under your breath, then took a generous inhale and opened the door of the car and stepped outside into the dark night.
You walked to the track and took out the equipment then walked over the familiar hill that Jimin had saved you from, once.
The heavy raindrops were clashing against your skin quite furiously but you ignored them and reached that big tree that would help you be at an equal level with the window of that room you were targeting.
Hurriedly, you unzipped the heavy back with the equipment and started placing everything as you thought they should be needed, trying to ensure that at least you wouldn't fall and smash yourself on the ground while trying to get there.
"Gosh, how did Jimin do all this while injured? This is tiring already " You murmured under your breath as you used your sleeve to dry a bit your drenched face then continued to put the ropes well around you.
The climbing of the tree proved to be a bit more of a challenge than you had thought, for the heavy equipment you had around and the bow with the metallic grip that was resting on your backpack, was quite heavy. The rain also was making everything so much more slippery than on that night and it was driving you mad.
By the time you made it up to the closest branch, you were panting heavily and you were contemplating if all this exercise was even worth it at this point.
"Let me guess. You don't exercise often." InSu commented on your ear peace as he had been listening all along, and doing his best to not laugh at you.
"Does it look like I have time to go to the gym? I barely have time to sleep. " You snapped back a bit annoyed that he was making fun of you, for even though you weren't physically that fit you were still the ones doing all these things.
"What happens if I don't aim this right on the first try? Can I retrieve it and reshoot?" You questioned him as you took off your backpack and started preparing the shooting tool with the iron claw.
"You can but each time you do, it's gonna leave a mark on the wall. I wouldn't recommend it also because we don't know how sensitive the security system of that room is so, just concentrate on your first try." InSu adviced her as he concentrated on his screen, from where he could see your figure through the security cameras around the villa. Cameras he had understood control and was using them for your benefit.
"Easy to say. The rain is too heavy. It's hard to see." You admitted despite the fact that you still positioned yourself to shoot and cleaned your face once more with your free hand, before leaving that too to join your other hand. Make sure you have a steady grip on the shooting tool.
"Here goes nothing. " You murmured just as you took in a sharp breath and shot, watching the claw fly ahead along with the rope that was tied on it, and landing right above the window.
"Yes!" You exhaled in excitement as a smile reached your face and then you pulled on it a bit to see if it had gotten a good grip, which thankfully it had.
"You still owe me so many things for getting me involved in all this mess. So you better get out of all this unharmed. You hear me, Y/N? " InSu wanted to encourage you a bit even though he didn't do it in a straightforward way, for despite the fact that he had not said anything, he too considered this way too risky.
"Don't worry. I don't plan on going to the hospital. DongMin is there, I wouldn't give him the pleasure of seeing me weak." You replying just as you had secured the triangle tool on the rope and had connected it with the vest you were wearing.
You didn't hesitate to launch ahead after that, leaving some phonemes of fear in the process as you were sliding in the air. Once you collided with the concrete wall, you could swear you couldn't feel your own legs, just because of how trembling they were out of fear.
Your breath was unstable and you found yourself frozen there for a bit, your mind trying to snap out of the realization that you were literally hanging on to barely anything, and were standing so high.
" Reach for the window." InSu's voice urged you to go on despite the fright that had taken a grip on you and you hesitantly did so, leaving your trembling hand to push against the window frame.
"What if some alarm goes off when I break the glass?" You uttered as that thought was hunting you while you reached into your pocket and took out an iron fist.
"I have no way of knowing. Regardless we can't back down now. Go for it." InSu responded and you just inhaled deeply before landing your first punch again the glass.
The contact was quite painful for your hand, but you just bit down on your lips as you punched it again with more force this time.
"Harder!"
"Shut up! I am trying!" You hissed back at InSu who was pressuring you, for despite your two punches the window had barely cracked.
You closed your eyes for a moment to concentrate then you tried to picture a face that you really would like to punch, just so it could motivate you more to use all your strength, then you opened your eyes and literally punched your fist right through the window. Scattered pieces fell on your hand and travelled down to the ground while some other landed again the floor on the inside of the room.
You stood there frozen for a few minutes, expecting some kind of alarm sound but only the heavy raindrops could be heard and the howling of the winding, making you feel a bit more thankful than you were before, for this horrible weather, for it was covering your doings well.
You ignored the cuts your fist had withstood and rushed to catch the handle and open the window. Once you did, you rushed inside and felt so relieved that your feet were standing on concrete again.
"I would literally kiss the ground right now. But I don't have time for that." You commented as you hurried to unlock your belt and remove yourself from the rope that was connected with the triangle tool.
You stepped further inside the room after, looking around in search of something to open whatever secret passage was hidden in there, but you were faced only with those white walls that looked perfectly alike.
"Tell Jungkook to buy a lot of time. This won't be easy." You admitted as you approached a wall and placed your palms on it, planning to search every spot on all the walls, in search of something uneven.
"Oh? A vehicle is pulling up at the gate." InSu uttered as he zoomed in on his laptop, observing the unexpected vehicle that was making its way towards the front porch of the villa.
"What? Did they call back up? Already!" Your eyes grew wide upon hearing him and you started moving your hands around the wall quicker than before, not giving up on trying to get what you came her to.
"It will take a moment to search the plate number of the car but-... nevermind, it's Mr Park with a woman. They just stepped out of the car." InSu relaxed upon seeing that it was nothing they had to worry about but you didn't feel relieved like he did.
"Jimin? What is he doing here? Call him and connect me with him. I need to talk to him!" You ordered and InSu did just that, observing Jimin through his screen as he pulled out his phone and picked up his call, thinking that it was Y/N, calling him as it was your ID that had shown up on his screen.
"Y/N? Are you okay?" You heard his voice echoing in your ear piece and you felt a sense of relief was over you, thinking that he was still P3, hence he would be able to help you see this through, for he was the one that thought of all this plan to begin with.
"I am fine. I just got into the room through the window. I haven't found the secret passage to the archive yet. Jungkook is inside with his manager, keeping him occupied but I am afraid I will need more time. "You uttered and Jimin fell silent as he was trying to place the pieces together in his head, and understand about what room were you talking about and what archive you were looking for.
"Don't worry. I came to talk with Mr Duho personally. You just make sure you get yourself out of there safely." He replied and as you listened you couldn't help but get confused, over why P3 would do such a thing. It wasn't on his plan for Mr Duho to know that he had taken the file from the archive after all.
"Wait... Jimin?" You questioned him, using his name in search of his identity but also because you could not refer to him as anything else while InSu was still overheating the line.
"Yes, Y/n. It's me." He replied, instantly catching on to what your question was really asking and you couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions over hearing that reply, for despite how inconvenient it was that P3 was not the personality in charge right now, you still had missed Jimin more than you could utter out loud.
"Listen to me. You don't have to do anything. I will finish this and will explain later. Just please, don't get in there. " You tried to pursue him with vague words for you were in a positive that could not say much, and Jimin just stayed silent for a moment, confused about everything you were saying and everything that was happening.
He wanted to put an end to this. He wanted to go right in and face this man that has been trying for so long to ruin his life. He wanted to ask him straight on, why did he want P3 and what business he had with him. Why has he been messing with him so much in an attempt to awaken P3? Jimin had so many questions that were making him fed up.
He had done nothing wrong, and neither had Jin or you or anything else that was involved with him. So why, why did he have to see you all being in danger just because you were involved with him? Why couldn't he just be living his life in peace?! All this confusion, all the things he found out, about Jin's condition, about your risky actions trying to obtain something he didn't even know yet. Everything, everything was feeling like a burden on his shoulders.
Because in Jimin's eyes, everything was his own fault. It was he who couldn't protect the people he considered dear in his life. He couldn't just stay put and observe you all trying so much for him.
"I want this to stop" He breathed out with sadness veiling in his eyes as he turned his back on Boram to make sure she didn't notice his vulnerable moment. But you over the line, understood that he must be emotional just by the way his breath escaped his lips, following after his words.
"Not now Jimin...but soon. I promise this will be cleared out soon. Just leave this one to me. For tonight, trust me..." You tried to persuade him once more for despite knowing how he must be feeling, you had come way too close, to be going back now.
"...Please..." you added as silence fell between you on the line, and then Jimin just hung up, leaving you confused.
"Boram. Mr Duho works for your father, correct? You are acquainted enough to pay him a visit, right?"
"Are you kidding? Of course. I can go in, he wouldn't question why I am here. I have way too many good excuses that I could use. To not mention that he thinks me and Jungkook are dating." Boram replied and Jimin walked up to her and rested his hand on her shoulder.
"Great. Go inside. Help Jungkook out and make sure you win as much time as possible." He ordered her and Boram smiled at him, confidently.
"Leave it to me. You are my idol. I have learned a lot about acting through watching you." She reassured him and turned around to head towards the door.
"Wait, what about you?" Boram suddenly thought and turned to look at him again.
"She said the window was open. Whatever it is that we are searching for, we could find it quicker if we were two in there instead of one." He smiled at her right before he walked round towards the driver's seat, planning to drive around and reach the back side of the villa, where he was planning to join you in whatever was that you had come here for.
Even if he couldn't remember, he could still participate.
