A DIAMOND NECKLACE was sitting on the screen, the picture not truly capturing how exquisite and essentially priceless some would think it'd be. jungkook nodded and turned to face the others who were all looking up at the jewelry they'd soon be working to steal.

jimin was eating his chocolate since he spent forever going over everything already, he didn't really need to pay attention until it was his turn to speak.

"this," jungkook started, "is the l'incomparable diamond necklace, and in five months." a small smirk begged to show, tugging at the corners of his lips as the sparkle in his eye matched that of the diamonds he was intently staring at, "it's going to be ours."

they stood in silence for a second, everyone gazing at the picture and only imagining how they could pull this off, but everyone knew jungkook could do it. he was the best.

"the usan hotel is holding an event in its art museum this coming december. fifteen countries will be displaying their jewels here, the whole night is suppose to show the world jewels and display them among the art based on continental themes." jungkook said as he clicked to a new slide that showed some of the countries being represented and the piece of diamonds belonging to each.

"oh can i just keep that one." jina pointed to a blue diamond crown from russia, it was called the koroleva and she was falling in love with the ocean colored sparkle.

"our focus is on the l'incomparable." the ravenette reiterated. "jimin."

the mentioned boy walked from around his computer and smiled, switching places with his friend so he could face the others with a proud grin and mind full of knowledge that most wont understand. "so you may be wondering, how are we going to take this fine piece of jewelry without anyone noticing? of course stealth is one of jungkooks kinks so our goal is to slip in and out without a trace."

"like ghosts." hoseok beamed, he was already excited and he barely knew what was going on.

jimin smiled at his friend and nodded, "exactly, like ghosts. "well in order to replace the necklace, we need to reconstruct an exact replica to leave in its place."

the boy paused and watched for reactions, one his favorite little games to see who had the guts to guess how it'd be done when jimin knew very well that only he had the answer. jungkook chuckled quietly, knowing this act all too well and leaning against the table just to observe the room.

"how are we going to replace to diamonds? that seems counterproductive." namjoon said. he knew most of the plan, but the actual jewel theft was left to jimin to make sure it could be pulled off. jungkook and namjoon had the branches while jimin was the one to fill in the leaves, making a healthy plant thrive and grow.

"that!" jimin cheered, pointing at the tall boy that made his cheeks warms sometimes, "is the billion dollar question — or should i say 8 billion, since that's the estimated worth we'd get out of this, but that's a topic for later." he rambled and walked back to his computer to type and pull up some screens to show the options for this job.

yoongi sat back on a stool and watched the boy work, a small smile on his lips as he saw this cute little boy doing the most as a criminal.

"there's two options, i already picked the one we're doing so don't get excited." jimin said, taking the remote and clicking a few buttons to open a tab. a few elements popped up on the screen and formulas that made no sense. "so diamonds naturally start as carbon trapped in huge hunks of xenoliths deep down in earth." he started, and the raventte knew they would be here for a while.

"so the pressure and heat of this carbon eventually turns into diamonds for greedy people to steal from the earth. anyways, ovens can be used to zap natural gas into a plasma of carbon which sticks to each seed, slowly building up a diamond atom by atom." jimin was lost, so into his work and the research he did to figure this out brought a smile to his face and a joy in chest, especially when he saw the look in his friends eyes.

"cubic zirconia," the short boy continued, clicking to a new screen to display a diagram of how a diamond would be created. "it's diamonds made of synthetic zirconium dioxide which lacks carbon diamond bonds and carbon in its crystallized form—"

jungkook admired his friend mind and the network of knowledge the boy possessed, but at some point they'd all be lost in a spiral of diction they couldn't comprehend. "jimin," he cut him off.

"i'm almost done." jimin assured his friend and smiled with a nod. "the other option, the better option, are lab created diamonds that are 100% pure crystallized carbon. they are optically, chemically, and physically identical. we would use a method called chemical vapor deposition, or cvd for short, and then use a high power laser to cut into rough shapes of what we want." he hit a button and the screen went blank, a smile on his face while the others just blinked and tried to process.

"how long will that take." jungkook carried on and walked over to the table with the blueprints and notes. a timeline was laid out in the side of the next five months.

"10-12 weeks." jimin said.

he hummed softly and nodded. "perfect."

"so what's our assignments." jina asked, getting straight to the point and wanting to know who does what and when. it was the best part of every job, like getting a happy meal and wondering which toy you got and if you're friend had a different one.

jungkook stood straighter and met everyone's eyes once, something about the directness made it feel serious and to ensure everyone was in the right head space for this. some days were bad ones, others were better, but this job took its toll occasionally. he saw it in the bags under jimins eyes, the lean in namjoons posture from standing all night, and the even the bruises on hoseok knees from practice.

"namjoon and i are going tonight to observe security, ive seen it on casual nights but there's a cocktail event so it's good to see how much they change it during more pressing events." jungkook said. "yoongi, you're going to help jimin with whatever he needs and when he's not present, you're in charge of security cameras and finding blind spots."

yoongi nodded and pulled up his sleeves of the baggy sweater. "altering blindspots will take a few weeks, if we are to move them a little at a time without being detected."

jimin blinked and glanced slyly over at the quiet boy who hasn't said a word so far. "you can do that?" the smaller boy asked with subtle interest in the other.

yoongi just nodded and a smile followed. "i can show you how." he offered.

"step into my lab." jimin smiled, patting the open stool next to him at his computer and going back to his work, no longer listening to jungkook list off assignments.

namjoon watched the two with a mild annoyance and crossed his arms over his firm chest. he needed a smoke.

"jina, i'm going to have you working with jimin. you guys are in charge of making the replica diamonds. i heard you have a connection at the science lab down on the island." the raventte said, he handed her a sticky note with a few instructions on it, times and dates to have certain things ready.

"and jin," jungkook said, turning towards the tall brunette beside him, "he knows how to get in as the caterer for the event?"

"of course." namjoon said.

"good. get dressed hyung, we're going out." the ravenette grabbed his jacket off the back of the chair and slipped in on. he needed to go buy a new shirt for tonight, he knew someone would be there, and he suddenly felt the need to make sure he looked better than usual.
