"Ooh", Chenle rubbed his hands together as he looked around the store, "Explosives..."
Since we got official invitations to EXO's party, we needed the right gear. We were running low on ammo, flares and pepper spray. Jeno told me it'd been a while since NCT Dream went on a serious mission like this, so they never really worried about the gear part.
"Don't touch anything, Chenle", Jaemin chuckled, "Remember what happened the last time you did that?"
"What happened?", I asked out of curiosity.
"Uh", Jaemin ran his hand through his hair, "Lets just say we're not allowed at quite a few supply stores"
"Ah...", I nodded, acting like it wasn't a big deal.
"What were we here for, again?", Jeno asked as he walked followed us with his eyes fixed on his phone.
"Essentials"
"Yeah, no duh", he shot Jaemin a look, "Look, its literally 11:30 PM, and I wanna get home"
"Why did we come so late, anyway?", I asked Jeno.
"Its what all the mafias do", Jeno replied, "A lot of us are being hunted out for, so we come to these joints when there aren't many people to report us"
"What's the point if the employees just turn you in?"
"They know who we are", he said, "But mafias come all the time...we're regular customers. If they got rid if us, they'd probably go bankrupt"
Yeji walked into our isle with a hand basket full of supplies, "ITZY have everything we need", she said, "You guys almost done?"
"Almost...", Jaemin mumbled as he picked up another box of ammo. He just read the box and returned it to the shelf.
For being a "mafia", our lives were pretty boring. Here we were in some supply store; its almost midnight, and we're casually walking around in shorts and flip flops while buying explosives. The normal.
All of us eventually made our way to the register.
"NCT Dream!", someone in the store said our name as we stood by the check out counter, "And ITZY!"
We froze and slowly turned around.
Suho.
"Did you guys RSVP for the party, yet?", he asked.
I hid behind Jaemin. Since I was technically a member of EXO, I really didn't want another EXO member to see me.
I threw me off at first, but Jaemin actually slipped his hand in mine. It surprised me a little, but I ended up finding myself squeezing his hand even more.
"We did.", Jaemin answered Suho, "All of us plan on going"
Suho nodded with a grin on his face.
"We'll see you at the party, then!", Yeji said pleasantly. She made herself seem nice, but all of us knew she was dying to get out of the building.
We made our way out of the store.
"What are the chances?", Yeji said, "We literally always run into EXO"
All of us just shrugged and started walking towards our house.
We didn't talk all that much; it was such a dark and pretty spring night, so we just kind of enjoyed it in peace.
I just let the cold air run through my hair as I swung the plastic bags I was holding back and forth. It was nice.
It wasn't long before we got close to home, though.
"Wait.", Lia paused, staring ahead of her.
We all stopped walking and looked at her.
"What", we all asked in sync.
"We didn't leave the lights on inside did we?", she asked when she looked at our house from a distance.
"No?", Jaemin said as we walked closer.
We kept staring at our house as we walked onto the front porch.
"The door's unlocked", Jaemin whispered.
We all quietly put our bags down and opened the door with our guns in our hands.
"The lights are all on in the kitchen", Yeji said.
"I'll open the door on the count of three", Jeno looked at us, "One...Two...Three"
We kicked the door open.
"Donghyuck?", Jaemin lowered his gun.
Don't worry, I didn't forget Mark or Hyuck ;) ;)
