Chapter Text
The men gathered around the table every now and then glancing at the map in the centre. It was the layout of Jin Young’s casino. Sophia and Yeonjun did a great job at helping them get to know the in and out of the building. While taking in the structure of each feature Namjoon got a little worried, the place had high security despite it not being one of Jin Young’s major casinos. How was he going to break into the vault?
Say, if he somehow manages to get past the security and bypass the laser-system, how would he get out of the place without anyone noticing the money had disappeared? He sighed heavily, worried.
“There’s got to be an easier way to do this,” Jin scratched his head, frustrated.
“Wouldn’t it be more efficient if we burnt down the place?” Hoseok suggested.
“I don’t want to put other people’s lives in danger, Jin Young is the enemy,” Namjoon said.
“We can’t just break into this shit and get out alive,” Yoongi grumbled and sat down away from the group. “Give me some time, I'll figure it out.”
“Damn he’s really focused,” Jimin teased playfully.
.
“Wanna go out again? I’ll drive this time”
Manon read the text from Lara, still confused on what to do. She’d already seen the message so she replied quickly without thinking much. “Yeah sure”
“Can’t wait, I’ll pick you up”
Damn what the hell is she doing, going on dates when their boss would probably give them work to do soon. It was all worth it when it’s Lara, she thinks she’s obsessed.
She puts on her favourite song which oddly reminds her of Lara, on her phone and places it down on the stand before going to get ready. She wears a dark shirt with a jacket on top and heads out. She stood and waited on the street before the black-car pulled next to her.
She opened the door to find Lara at the driver’s seat looking at her eagerly to get in, with hooded eyes. Her hands rested on the wheel, while her fur jacket loosely hung on her shoulders.
“Missed me?” Manon asked while adjusting her seatbelt. Lara doesn’t take her eyes off the girl and replies with her voice low, “Don’t even joke.”
She starts the car and drives to the restaurant, the streets are dimly lit by the traffic lights and everything is gloomy, exactly how Manon would like the city to be. On the highway after a while, two cars zoomed past them with extreme speed leaving behind smoke and dust. Startled, Manon turned her towards them and for some reason it looked familiar. She had seen that exact car somewhere and the driver too looked like someone she knew.
.
Yoongi and Jungkook left Namjoon’s apartment at the same time and feeling playful, they decided to race each other. They zoomed through the city in speed and style. It was a playful duel but the adrenaline was high, but like all challenges Jungkook won.
He demanded a barbeque from Yoongi and they parked the cars and went to their local restaurant. The red lights and lanterns of China town and the constant yelling of people was something they were familiar with. The cold air brushed past them and Yoongi took a deep breath getting a whiff of the street food.
They ate and drank well, maybe a bit too much, so they sat in the back of Jungkook’s car which was closer, for a while until the alcohol wore off. This is fine right? He’s just a little distracted but he’s happy, as long as he’s with Jungkook.
“Do you believe in aliens?” Jungkook rambled as Yoongi sighed, “How much did you drink? You idiot.”
“What about other universes? Do you think we’re still friends in another universe…?”
Yoongi groans dramatically.
“Do you remember the plan?” Jungkook nods in response.
“Remember it's you and Tae that have to do most of the work. Me and Hobi will make the first call, after that when the alarm goes off you and Tae can go into the vault and get the money out. Then you both can transfer the bags to the girls. Got it?”
Jungkook hums in agreement, leaning his head on Yoongi.
“Don’t forget whatever I said ok?”
.
In the backseat of another car, Manon sat next to Lara and took out a box of cigarettes and a lighter. Manon looks over at Lara who’s on her phone, scrolling through a playlist of songs. Lara has a great music taste, all the songs she plays on the car are soothing Manon. The blur of city lights against the dark sky with the cool breeze brushing through her hair feels surreal.
“You want one?” She asked, gesturing to the box in her hand. Lara takes one in her hand and Manon follows. The older girl closes the box and flicks the lighter, bringing her closer to the flame.
Before she pulls back Lara moves in close to her, bringing the stump in her mouth near the flame, and rests her hand on Manon’s neck making sure she doesn’t move, their foreheads nearly touching.The action sends a shiver down her spine and when they pull back Lara stares at her with hooded eyes, teasingly.
The song changes into something more familiar, giving Manon goosebumps when Lara spoke up, “What do you think of this song?” Manon thought for a moment slightly distracted by the way Lara was looking at her.
“It’s one of my favourite songs, It reminds me of you,”
Before Manon could say another word, she was silenced by Lara’s soft lips crashing onto hers. Her mind went blank and she leaned into it. Manon cups her face gently while Lara wraps her arms around her neck, pulling her closer. There was a faint taste of smoke and lipgloss against her mouth. Lara finds her way onto Manon’s lap, legs on either side of her waist, her hands tracing lines all over the older girl’s body driving her insane. Only for them to get interrupted by a phone call from Lara’s sister.
“I have to go home now, we’ll continue this another time alright?"
