Ep 88: Some Familiar Faces at the Auction

Y/N's POV

I was playing with my fingers as I got inside Kai's car again. I can't get over the fact that his car had been chased by police cars just today... I hope with all my heart that something like that doesn't happen again. "Put this on," said Kai, handing me a necklace. It seemed like a pearl necklace to me. I simply accepted it and put it around my neck. "Press the middle pearl down if you get into some kind of trouble," he said. "Whoa... This thing is not just a necklace?" I asked. "It's a communicating device," said Kai, starting the car's engine. I stared at the middle pearl. It didn't seem to be any different from the others...

Kai's phone began ringing at once when we had gotten out of the drive. "It's Xiaojun," I said, frowning. Kai picked up the call at once. "What?" he said, after a minute, "Is he..." Kai looked at the rear mirror and then shook his head. "Just let him be," he said, "Keep an eye on him." He hung up the phone as I looked at him. "What is it?" I asked. "Nothing," said Kai. I looked out of the window into the dark night. There was nothing to be seen... "You know what to do right?" said Kai. "We have gone over this for fifteen times already," I complained. "Put on the mask when we reach the place," said Kai. "Yeah! And then pester you to buy me the diamond!" I said, sarcastically, "I don't see why I have to do that?!"

"People go to auctions to buy some stuff, Y/N! We would be too suspicious if we go and hang out there without any reason! You have to keep on talking about the diamond and I would say that I would buy it for you," said Kai. "So basically I act like a gold digger and you-" I began, annoyedly. "Just play along for once!" Kai snapped. "Why don't we do it the other way then? You can be the one that begs me to get you a... a painting or something?" I demanded. He gave me a dark look and I pursed up my lips, looking out of the window. I complain a lot when I am nervous...

Jeongyeon's POV

"How do we follow that car?!" I exclaimed, when Mina was pulled inside a car when she had walked down the said alley in the message. "I can," said Irene, "Take this. Track me with it." She handed me a watch. I pressed the button on the side and a radar appeared on it, showing a small green 'I'. "But how-" I began but Irene was already gone from my side. "Heol," said Chaeyoung, "Just look at her!" I watched as the green 'I' moved at a very large speed on the small radar. "I am pretty sure she's right beside the car," said Chaeyoung. "Let's follow her," I said. Chaeng nodded and we started to make our way with the help of the radar.

Y/N's POV

"Wow..." I gasped when we entered a huge underground hall. It was full of people... People partying more specifically. And I don't mean the club parties. I mean those kinds where rich people gather and have champagne and stuff. "Behave naturally," Jongin muttered. I straightened up and then said, "Jagiya~ You have to buy me that ring, ne~? You promised me!" For a second, Jongin seemed stunned by my sudden performance. He recovered even before I had even blinked. "Yes, darling of course," he said, putting his arm around my waist, "Let's just wait for the auction to start." "The auction will be starting in a few minutes, sir," said a guy, who was holding a plate of sushi in his hand. Kai nodded and we moved over to the auction area. "You are good at acting," Kai said under his breath. "Of course," I said.

I was looking around when I spotted a huge guy sitting on a chair. He seemed VERY familiar indeed. "Jongin, who is that?" I asked at once, frowning. Kai looked over at the man. "It would be better if you do not look at him," said Kai. "But Nini! That looks like CEO Choi- dad's opponent in business!" I hissed. I was very sure it was him even if his eyes were covered with a mask. "Keep your voice down," said Kai through gritted teeth, "He's the boss of Wiheom gang." "Daebak! If I could get a video of him or something as an evidence, dad can-" I began. "Are you crazy?!" snapped Jongin, "Just go with the plan and he will be dead by tomorrow morning!" "Fine," I sighed, keeping my eyes on him.

Kai pulled at my face and whispered, "Stop looking at him." I pouted and then started looking around. There seemed to be a lot of business people around here. "I can't believe they all go to auctions conducted by gangs!" I said, under my breath. "You can get rare items which you won't find at any other places," said Kai, "How they love to keep stuff like that on display at their houses!" "Wait! Those two look familiar too!" I exclaimed. Kai glared at me slightly before looking at the other two I had seen. "That's Xiaojun, you idiot!" muttered Kai. "And who is the other one?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. The second guy was wearing a gray crew neck tank top, black pants and had a jacket tied at his waist. He seemed to be pretty out of the place since the other men were mostly in suits... "It's starting," Kai said, and I tore my eyes away from the man.

My mind remained with him however. I was snapped out of my thoughts when the a guy in a pinstriped suit walked up on the podium and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen! Let's get on with the auction then!" I gulped as the chatter died down and the man continued, "The first item is a painting." I glanced back at where Xiaojun and the guy had been standing as the man talked about how old the painting was and stuff like that. I frowned when I realized the men were not there anymore.

Mina's POV

I was on the back seat while the men drove the car. They were pretty stupid since they didn't even bother to tie me up or anything. They thought they had succeeded in knocking me out with their chloroform hanky trick! I had gone with their idiocy and pretended to faint. I opened my eye slightly to look out from the window and saw someone running on top of the buildings. Is she a ninja or something? I shut my eye quickly when the men started talking. "So we bring her to that house?" the driver was saying. "Yes," said the other, "Boss would see what he wants to do with her after the auction." "So we can have some fun with her until he arrives?" said the driver and I cringed. "The boss wouldn't like that," said the other nervously. "Do we care? Why should we listen to that wimp anyway?" the driver grunted. Great... So these men actually don't care about Ryu at all!
