The White Lily // The Black Iris and the Withered Rose (Bang Chan // Lee Know)

Chapter 7 - SKZ, you're next

~1 year and 2 months before Present Day~

~Emilia's POV~

"Shade, right, right! Go right! Right, okay?"

"Heard you the first time, Dark."

"What a strange duo you two are." Laughed Seungmin through the earpiece.

"Yea, Dark and Shade, both equally idiots it seems." Spat Minho.

"Shut up, kitty." I spat back.

"Who the fuck do you think you're calling kitty?!"

"Anyways, you're almost there." our bickering was interrupted by Seungmin.

I've already been with Stray Kids for four months now, when Chan considered that we should strengthen our teamwork to integrate me more in the team. So, his master plan was to send me, Changbin, Minho and Seungmin on the most boring mission ever. Infiltrate in a house and steal a few unimportant documents, just for the sake of doing so.

"We don't want anything dangerous to happen to any of you" he said and picked this random house in the middle of nowhere that belongs (or used to belong?) to some enemy gang I haven't heard of before.

Of course, me and Chan also had our... private teammate sessions, but they involved more mating and less teamwork. We were sleeping together almost every night – some nights involving sex, others just enjoying each other's company and learning things about who we truly were when no one was watching.

I started trusting Chan with all my being. Four months might not seem like much to some, but he knew more about me than anyone else.

"This place looks like shit" Changbin spat.

"Didn't take you much for a complainer." I joked around, painfully aware that Changbin is (and probably has always been) a complainer.

"Yea Binnie, just do the mission and shut the fuck up." We both heard Minho whine in the earpiece.

"Kitty, are you always so involved when you're on the other side of the mic?"

"I swear to God if you call me kitty one more time I-"

"Oops, you're breaking up."

"Shade I will fucking rip you hair off."

"And I'll get you some kitty treats if you act nice."

"Fucking-"

"Okay, okay, we got it." Sky interrupted us. "So, how's the house looking?"

"Horrible. And it smells" Changbin put an emphasis on the last word.

He was right, though. There weren't even any guards and the house seemed abandoned. The walls inside were full of dust, there were dirty pots on the floor's kitchen and trash everywhere else, and the smell. God, the smell was rancid. It was simply filthy, and it didn't seem like anyone has been here in the past decade or so. Maybe Google "crackhouse" and you'd get a hint.

If Chan wouldn't have insisted to treat it as an actual mission and go in sneakingly, we could've literally walked through the front door without anything or anyone to stop us.

So that's where we're currently at.

"Ok guys-"

"And girls, asshole" I spat.

"... I will pretend I didn't hear that, Shade."

"Ignorance is bliss, Sky." I rolled my eyes, even though I knew he wouldn't be able to see me. However, Changbin did and let a chuckle escape.
