"Got it?", Yeji asked me as I tried to pick the lock on a door.
"Mhm", I replied. I turned the nail file a little more and the lock was loose.
"There...", I said.
"Remember:", she looked at me before we opened the door, "Stay quiet and be fast."
I nodded and waited for Yeji to open the door.
Jeno had asked Yeji and I to go check out EXO's profiles, just so we had a better idea of who had what position. Knowing about their strengths and weaknesses could give us a better chance of defeating them.
It was going to be a little hard getting to the profiles, though. They were kept in the city records; so it was in a building that had a ton of employees and security cameras.
"Where were these profiles supposed to be, anyway?", I whispered to Yeji as we slowly made our way into the heart of the building.
"Its on this floor", Yeji replied, keeping a sharp eye out for anything that could get us caught, "Its supposed to be in file room 748"
We kept peeking around corners and pressing ourselves against the walls whenever an employee was close. It was terrifying but kind of fun at the same time, if that makes sense.
"Hey, look", Yeji discreetly pointed to one of the rooms.
"Is that it?", I asked.
"It says 748...", she said, "I think the files we want are in there"
I just stared at the door.
"Do you wanna go in or do you wanna guard?", Yeji asked.
"I'll go in", I sighed.
"Alright, then", she said, "Be fast...its all in alphabetical order", she explained, "So just look up the EXO members' names and take a picture of the files with your phone when you find them"
I nodded and ran over to the room.
I turned the knob and took a peek inside the room. No one was there.
I hurried over to all the cabinets and started skimming through hundreds of names, looking for the EXO members' profiles.
It didn't take too long before I started finding what I wanted. I got the files and took pictures of them as fast as I could.
After I put the last profile back, I turned to the door.
But there was one more profile I wanted to see.
It was probably a really dumb idea to stay longer, but I needed to know more about a certain person. Someone who seemed so perfect, but I knew they had something wrong with them if they ended up in a mafia.
Na Jaemin.
I wanted to know why he was in NCT Dream, why Kai hated him so much, and why he never talked about his childhood.
I turned around and walked slowly back to the file cabinets.
N
I went to the labels under N, for Na Jaemin.
I slid the drawer open and my fingers skimmed over all the files, looking for Jaemin's profile.
Found it.
"Jiwoo!", someone whispered my name, which made me jump.
It was just Yeji.
"You almost done?", she asked, "We're running out of time"
I just looked at Jaemin's file. I took a quick picture with my phone, without thinking about how it looked.
"Got 'em", I said, "Lets go"
Okkk I kinda know where I'm going with this book, and I kinda don't 🤣️ The chapters have just been kinda long and slow...sorry about that hehe
Also, I just wanted to thank those of you who have voted/ added my other book to your reading lists. I didn't think I'd get anywhere on Wattpad, so getting notifs from fellow NCTzens out there means a lot 💕️ Happy readin', friends 💕️
