░ Chapter Fifteen
"I can't believe that damn museum heightened their security. What are we going to do now, Master?" Kyuhyun muttered. After all their efforts in trying to get the diamond, and after BTS declined their offer, they still couldn't get the damn gem. And now it's just worse.
"It's a little suspicious, yes. Of all the times, why now when we're trying to steal the pink diamond. Still, we shouldn't be worried. BTS already got the jade."
He nodded, agreeing with anything the Master would say. "You were right about BTS. They were able to steal the jade without any issues and the transaction was fast and smooth."
"I'm always right."
"What's the plan now?"
He watched as his boss opened an ancient book. It reeked with the smell of old paper and dust and he scrunched his nose up. "Let's try to find someone who can get the Pink Diamond for us. But for now, let's focus on the next one."
Kyuhyun nodded vehemently.
"I already talked to Rem and they're on it. Did you hear about the news on the golden pearl?"
Kyuhyun was cursing yet again, now remembering the recent events. For some reason, things were not going with their plan. Heck, everything was not going with their plan. After everything, all they had right now was a single damn gem.
"Who do you think stole it?"
The Master shrugged, his lips pursed. "I don't know. From the looks of it, the robber tried stealing lots of stuff. The authorities were able to get everything back except for the pearl."
"Isn't that suspicious?" Kyuhyun asked with narrowed eyes.
"It is. But it's a golden pearl we're talking about. I could imagine the thief securing it apart from the other jewelry. He must have thought he could make lots of money with it alone so he didn't care to go after the other jewelry when he almost got caught."
Kyuhyun agreed. His Master had a point. It could just be a usual robbery. He should admit, though, the guy was really good. That shop was very hard to access and they were supposed to have BTS do the work, just for them to receive the news that the pearl had already been stolen.
By a common thief, of all things.
"I'm guessing that person will sell it in the blackmarket. We'll just keep an eye."

Yoongi stretched his sore shoulders and yawned. He had gotten no sleep, too busy reading the printed material Jihyun provided them. And now, he still needed to face a 9-hr long shift.
Ah, he already missed his beloved sleep. It's so hard to be away from your loved one.
He did find out a lot of things, especially about the so-called 'Sol' gems. It kept him thinking and distracted the whole ride going to the museum. The only problem was, now there are were questions than answers.
There were still a lot of pages left to read, and he hoped that it would somehow enlighten all the confusion he had. Because really, everything felt like he was in an action movie. All the things written there in the file...Sol Gems, Mayan Civilization, treasures...
Yoongi opened the door to the post where he was currently assigned, sighing as millions of thoughts filled his mind.
"I'm so into boys riding motorbikes. Mind to give me a ride sometime?"
Yoongi snapped his head up so quickly he could almost imagine the bones in his
neck breaking. What met his eyes was a smirking Jimin sitting on his desk, his finger twirling a pen as he looked at Yoongi from head to toe.
Jimin was wearing the same uniform as Yoongi, just like the first time they met. "What the heck are you doing here? How did you even-?"
Jimin placed his head on his hands and pouted. "I miss you."
"Aren't you afraid to get caught?"
"Nah, people here are too lame," Jimin answered with a shrug. "Except for you, of course. And I know you won't harm me. You love me too much."
Yoongi pretended he was not blushing at the words. Tsk, Jimin was too full of himself. Yes, he's cute. And hot. And too attractive for his own good. But it didn't mean Yoongi would fall into his charms that easily.
"Why are you really here?" he asked instead, pretending to look around for something in his desk to hide the flush on his cheeks.
When he looked back up again, Jimin was still pouting. He had the strong urge to pinch the thief's puffy cheeks but he tried to stop himself. "I already told you. I miss you. And by the way, can I have this?" Jimin raised a framed picture that Yoongi kept in his drawer. It was a picture of himself taken about a year ago. He was smirking to the camera as he held up his police badge. At that time, he had never imagined he would leave the police force.
"Yah, what the heck! Why are you going through my stuff?"
"Please!" Jimin begged, his eyes going large as he tried looking as cute as possible. "You look really hot here. And I don't have a pic of you to look at when I'm lonely so..."
Ah, Yoongi felt like giving up. He didn't even care anymore how Jimin got here because it's just gonna be a waste of time. With a sigh, he spoke. "Are you at least gonna give something in return?"
Jimin flashed him a cheeky smile. "Oh, you really know how to play, huh?" he giggled as he clutched the picture to his chest. Yoongi didn't even give him permission to keep it yet. "Well, all I can tell you is that we will have another heist."
"I already know that Jimin."
"Call me babe," Jimin suddenly requested out of the blue. Yoongi narrowed his eyes, hoping that Jimin was not doing this to shift the topic because he was actually quite curious as to why Jimin was requesting this. And he was about to let himself fall into the rabbit hole.
"Or else?"
"Or else I'm visiting you every single day till you call me that," Jimin replied with a chuckle.
Nope, Yoongi didn't want that. He had enough on his plate now. "Well, it's not like I have anything to lose. As I have said, babe, I already know that you guys are planning to steal the a black opal owned by a known collector."
The surprise in Jimin's eyes gave so much satisfaction to Yoongi. "H-How did you..."
Yoongi tilted his head and smirked, knowing full well that he had managed to turn the tables. "I'm a detective," he said simply. "We're both looking at the same thing, I believe. You're trying to collect the five so-called Sol Gems, right? The very same gems that your dealer is trying to obtain?"
Jimin looked shocked. It felt almost the same as those moments when Yoongi managed to corner the suspect. Except this time, his suspect was a cute, chubby-cheeked, angel.
"Don't look so shocked," he continued, not bothering to hide his haughty tone. "I'm a detective after all. Don't tell me Rem hasn't mentioned anything about me?"
Jimin seemed to lapse for a while, but cleared his throat when he realized that Yoongi was talking to him. Even in that state, the thief still looked cute. Damn him. "He did, in fact, told me to stay away from you, but I followed my heart."
"Cute," he deadpanned. "I need to go back to work now. I won't even ask how you were able to enter the premises."
The younger man was quick to pout again. "That fast? Don't you want to play a game? Look! I'm wearing a uniform."
Whatever the implication of his words was, Yoongi still was not able to stop himself from gazing at the boy from head to toe, appreciating the fact that the uniform indeed suited Jimin well. The slacks weren't supposed to be that tight and accentuate the thighs perfectly...right? Jimin was a hot mess and Yoongi wished he was not a thief.
He swallowed and looked away reluctantly, cursing inwardly at his inability to stop his thirst. "Next time," was the only thing he said before leaving the post. He needed to clock in for the day.

Jimin sighed as he watched the retreating back of the love of his life. He expected for his visit to be a little more...exciting. Yoongi was too good at self-control it almost infuriated him. But that's okay. Jimin still had plenty of chances to get his way with the man.
He rummaged through the drawer again, boredom following Yoongi's departure. He remembered the words that the ex-detective said. Sol gems. He never heard of that and he was sure Namjoon didn't mention that yet. He did know that they all had suspicions on the gems that they were asked to steal as they all had the same pattern.
They're all embedded on the same oval rock and only a dumb person would not notice the similarities. So their leader was right. There was something more to these gems. He'd make sure to mention later about these so-called Sol Gems.
As Jimin continued to rummage around, he saw another picture. He pulled it excitedly from where it was buried among folders, thinking that he was about to get another prize. His wide smile all but fell the instance his eyes landed on the picture.
Yes, it was Yoongi's picture.
But there was someone else in the picture.
A tall man with broad shoulders and plump lips, smiling widely and doing a V pose as he slung his arms around Yoongi's shoulders. They looked pretty close, judging from Yoongi's smile that seemed to be rarely seen. The tall man also looked really...beautiful. He might just be the most handsome man Jimin had seen in his life.
He scowled.
The thief placed the picture in his pocket before leaving. Their leader was probably looking for him now.
