"I get what you want me to do. And I don't think I like it."
The three of them were sitting at Minhyuk's living room. Changkyun was very entertained watching 'Monsters Inc' while Minhyuk and Kihyun were on the other sofa, facing each other.
Kihyun looked very uncomfortable and Minhyuk unconsciously embraced himself to protect him from whatever thing the tiny man would do to him.
"We can't get the cops involved, you know they would put this case last!" Minhyuk was now staring up at Kihyun with pleading eyes, his hands wrapping around the fabric of his jacket. He knew that wasn't the most ethical thing to ask for, but a dad would do anything for his child.
"That's invasion of privacy. I like you a lot, Minhyuk and Changkyun means a lot to me as well, but what if they find out? It's not normal to be followed by a guy with a camera." Minhyuk raised an eyebrow and pressed his lips into a thin line.
Kihyun sighed, "unless it's someone like you who gets a lot of press. But they are not like you."
Minhyuk understood why the younger would feel that way. He was a very lowkey man and he was not used to being a criminal, neither was Minhyuk, but that's what had to be done.
"I know it feels weird. But, don't you think it's a little shady? If you manage to go unnoticed and we get to the bottom of this, you will have a good story to post on the newspaper and I will stay with Changkyun, we both win!"
Kihyun frowned skeptically, "and if I fail?" Minhyuk grabbed his hands and smiled cheekily, "I'll bail you out."
The small man glared daggers into Minhyuk before nodding doubtfully.
The latter tackled Kihyun into a hug and started kissing his cheeks very aggressively to which Kihyun groaned started slapping Minhyuk's arm. "Asshole! Let me go!"
Minhyuk giggled and shook his head, hugging the smaller a little tighter. "Don't swear in front of the baby." Kihyun just rolled his eyes, "do you really think he cares? Look at him!"
They both laughed it off as they saw the baby reciting some of the movie's dialogue. He obviously cared more about learning the words than what the two men were up to. So Minhyuk held Kihyun's chin gently and kissed his lips softly. "Once we're over with this mess, I'll take you on a proper date, I promise."
The smaller male nodded as he blushed, carefully pushing Minhyuk off of him and getting up, dusting his clothes off. "I believe you."
With that said, he gave Changkyun a caramel and a hug. Then he left and took off to his house, just that it wasn't his place he was going to.
If he was going to commit a crime, he might as well drag someone trustworthy and quiet with him. It couldn't be Yoongi, he was way too ethical to even let Kihyun go without calling the police on him for attempted invasion of privacy.
So he walked a little further this time, to the only man he could trust with this.
To the man with a driver license.
Chae Hyungwon.
He stood in front of what he remembered was the address the other had sent him a while back just in case of an emergency. And this was, in fact, an emergency.
The building was huge and he suddenly felt insecure. He hadn't noticed, but the neighborhood was one of the most expensive ones. One of the safest too. Hyungwon must have had been working as a jornalist for a long time if he was able to afford a place there.
Kihyun looked through the huge glass doors of the entrance of the building, until a speaker he hadn't noticed started talking beside him. "Good afternoon, where are you heading?"
The man gulped and hesitantly spoke to the little device. "I am looking for Chae Hyungwon? Tell him it's Kihyun."
He stood there uncomfortably as there was no response from the man inside the building. He waited for about a minute when the big gates opened, showing a hotel-like lobby. And not any hotel, a five star.
The security guard gave him the directions to Hyungwon's flat and he nodded, taking the elevator to the last floor; the penthouse.
...
They were both sitting down at the dining table, drinking some coffee. The table was for ten people and there was a crystal chandelier hanging above it. Not only was Hyungwon loaded, he had great taste.
"You never told me you were filthy rich." The taller laughed and shook his head, "I'm not, my parents are. I am just spoiled." Kihyun tilted his head as he stared into his almost empty cup, "this place is almost as expensive as two lungs and a heart from the healthiest person, they help me pay two thirds of it because they don't know where else to spend their wealth."
The other man nodded, still looking around and admiring all the details in the room. Minhyuk's place was not even near as big and decorated as Hyungwon's even though he knew the older had all the money to build a house from scratch.
"If you missed me that much you could have called, or waited until tomorrow." His tone was playful but Kihyun was so nervous he though the taller was annoyed. "I couldn't have. It's a sensitive topic, I couldn't risk anyone hear."
Hyungwon couldn't help but frown at everything Kihyun was telling him. It was a pretty dense and tragic story, he felt like it was not his story to listen to, it was Minhyuk's grieve and he was well aware he didn't want Hyunwon knowing.
However, when Kihyun started talking about spying someone, the man understood his role: The getaway driver.
"You're involving me in something dangerous." Kihyun nodded, "I know." Hyungwon frowned at the lack of interest in the other's words, "it's illegal." The other smiled faintly, almost mockingly, and nodded again, "it is, indeed."
Hyungwon glared at the other before fixing his position on his seat. "I'm in. If what you're saying is true, and the money they have is not clean, the story will blow. the fuck. UP!" Kihyun tilted his head and raised an eyebrow. The taller flinched and complemented, "and the child is safe."
"When do we start?" The man in charge of it all leaned backwards and looked up at the gorgeous chandelier. "I need to contact Minhyuk first, I don't want to do anything without him knowing, I was planning on going tomorrow."
The younger of the two huffed upon hearing those words, he then snatched the now cold and empty cup away from Kihyun. "Tomorrow?! Are you serious? You can't be. We're wasting time!"
Kihyun flinched and stared at Hyungwon like he had lost his mind, if he ever had one, and started playing with his fingers since his only source of distraction was taken from him, "so?" Hyungwon rolled his eyes aggressively and pushed both of their cups aside. "Text him. we're going right now. If they are up to something nasty we can catch them doing it at night."
"That didn't sound right." The other sighed and held the bridge of his nose and Kihyun swore he heard him count quietly until ten. "Let's just go. Pervert."
As Hyunwon left to his room to change into something adequate to the situation, Kihyun sat on the couch, texting Minhyuk. He did as his friend had told him, however, he turned his phone off, he didn't want an unexpected call to ruin their cover.
Hyungwon then walked down the stairs wearing all black and a leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses. "You know, the turtleneck was just unnecessary." The accused just sighed and motioned the other follow suit.
-
Meanwhile, in his apartment was Minhyuk who had refused to let Changkyun keep watching movies and instead told him to spend the night with him. He had read the text Kihyun had sent him and tried to call him in order to stop him.
But it went straight to voicemail.
He had turned his phone off and Minhyuk didn't like it. He wanted Kihyun to do this for him, but not so quick, not before coming up with something. What the smaller was doing was irrational and the father couldn't help but feel like it would go terribly wrong.
Kihyun could end up in jail, or even worse... if these people were involved with a gang the man would not even come back.
However, Minhyuk's instict was always wrong.
Sometines.
