░ Chapter Three
"I still can't believe you did that! Our leader has gone insane!" Hoseok said with a laugh as he threw a ball of crumpled paper to Namjoon.
Namjoon rolled his eyes and ducked his head, only to end up banging it to the table beside him. He groaned loudly.
Jimin laughed, his body shaking as he leaned on Taehyung. "Hyung, you're not making us broke, are you?" he asked playfully.
All of them, including Jimin, were surprised when Namjoon decided to reject their latest deal. They were offered quite a large amount of money to steal that something called Body Rose, Boogy Rose, Booty Rose.
Wait, that didn't really sound right.
"Tae, what was the name of that badass pink diamond?"
His best friend lifted his head where it was resting on Jimin's shoulder and blinked. "Umm... Bony Rose?"
They heard Jungkook snort. "It's Beautiful Rose, you stupid chipmunk," he murmured under his breath, making Taehyung glare at him.
"Beauté Rose, guys. It's Beauté Rose. Seriously, does anyone even read the dossiers and files other than me?" Namjoon complained, sounding exasperated.
"Oh, so I'm right!" Jimin exclaimed. "It's Booty Rose!" Although, if you'd think of it, it did sound weird. Why would they call something as beautiful as that artifact in the picture Booty?
Namjoon sighed again. "No, Jimin. It's Beauté Rose. Spelling B E A U T E R O S E. It's French and it means Pink Beauty or something close to that."
"Woooot! And there's our leader-slash-walking encyclopedia. Way to go, Joon!" Hoseok proceeded to cheer without reason at all. This made Namjoon sigh yet again.
"Listen guys," their leader said. "There's a reason why I declined and this is why we are gathered here despite Taehyung insisting he has to do his daily concert in the shower."
Taehyung pouted. "Hyuuuuung! You know how important it is to me!"
"Such a diva," Jungkook commented again in his usual monotonous voice.
"What do you mean by diva, huh?" Taehyung responded with a raised eyebrow. He tilted his head and narrowed his eyes when Jungkook only snorted, rolling his eyes at the other boy. "So disrespectful. Remind me again, hyung, why I have to suffer being around him everyday?"
"Because he's the best driver we can find to be part of the team, Tae. Without him, all of us, including your ass, will be caught and put to jail. You already know that and I don't think I have to elaborate how good the kid is," Namjoon answered his brother. He looked so done already.
Jimin found the situation funny as always, but he did empathize with their leader. He knew it was hard for Namjoon to always deal with Taehyung and Jungkook. The two had never gotten along since the very first day they met, and ever since, it had always been a cat and dog fight whenever they're in the same room. Jimin got used to it, though. He thought it was pretty cute.
"Sometimes I feel like you love him more than me," Taehyung said sulkily.
Again, Jimin found himself trying to stifle a laugh. He patted Taehyung on the back to console him as he watched Namjoon sigh heavily. "I love you more than anything else in the world, Tae. Now, back to business. Who's up to stealing some cool pink artifact?"
This definitely changed the mood of Taehyung, as well as everyone else's.
"Whoa, I thought you declined the offer?" It was Hoseok who asked.
"Yes, I did."
"B-But..." Taehyung said. "Wait, don't tell me you took it seriously when I said I'd like to keep it for myself?"
Namjoon laughed at that. "I actually did, Tae. I've been reading a lot of things about Beauté Rose since I was a kid. I don't think it's worth stealing it and getting paid. It's too precious and it's one of our National Treasures. It would be cooler stealing it for ourselves. And uh, yeah, because Tae wants it."
Taehyung cheered. "What Tae wants!"
"Tae gets!" Jimin finished. They both laughed and did their signature handshake.
"Spoiled brat," Jungkook muttered under his breath, but still loud enough for Taehyung to hear. Jimin felt like he wanted Taehyung to hear it.
"Hey! What did you-"
"Okay, that's enough." Namjoon laid out a large blueprint on their table. "I pretty much have everything we need for this heist. We just need a solid plan. To make this perfect, we'll have to use each of our strengths, which means it's gonna be the usual setup. I'll stay inside the van with Jungkook. Hoseok and Tae will enter the building and steal the diamond. Jimin will distract the guards and will be the lookout."
"Aye aye!" Jimin and Taehyung shouted in unison and bumped fists right after, their faces lighting up with wide grins. Jungkook rolled eyes.
"And when will this ultimate heist take place?" Hoseok ask.
"Next week."
Hoseok whistled. "That's fast. It's like we're in a hurry."
"Because we really are," Namjoon replied, placing more stuff on the table—pictures of the building, some weirdass documents, and a laptop. "We know that there are people after it. And from the looks of it, they're pretty big. They could be a high-end gang or mafia. Or just some sick rich black market dealer. Who knows. The thing is, we must get it before they do."
It was then that Jimin thought of something. "Are we going to replace it with a replica?"
Namjoon nodded at this. "You're right. And the replica will have a real pink diamond as well."
Everyone was clearly surprised to hear this. Even Jungkook, who had a stoic expression most of the time unless he's arguing with Taehyung, lifted his eyebrows. Of course, they all could afford to buy themselves diamond-made accessories. They owned very expensive cars, for shit's sake. But they never spent so much just for a dummy that would be used to replace what they'd be stealing. It's just...not a thieving thing.
"Now, I know you're all shocked, but let me explain. I got the diamond from Heechul for a low price. It's also low carat, so yeah."
"Where does that guy even get all his stuff?" Hoseok voiced out all their thoughts about Heechul, a blackmarket dealer and Namjoon's friend.
"Anyway, we need to replace it with a real diamond so that no one will notice. I know it's a little costly and we've never really did something as ridiculous as this before, but it's not about the money this time. It's about stealing the Beauté Rose. It would probably be the best thing we'll ever steal. And well..."
"Taehyung wants it," Hoseok finished for him with a laugh.
They all flocked around the table where the blueprint was placed and listened carefully to their leader's instructions. Everyone was eager and excited since they've never done this before. They have stolen expensive cars for themselves and other stuff, but never a national treasure. The best thing was, they would keep it.
Jimin also thought that it was so beautiful. Kinda like him, but not really. He was still better since he was beautiful and hot. That Booty Rose wasn't hot. Nonetheless, it's very interesting and having it in their possession made him giddy. He bet the government would shit their pants when they found out that the precious display they have in their museum was not the real thing anymore.
"You, Jimin, will be in-charge of letting them in and of the night-shift guards. There are a lot, I'm telling you. We need your expertise and we can't afford being reported to the police since the goal is to avoid letting them know we actually stole it," Namjoon said, looking at Jimin with sharp eyes.
Jimin scrunched up his nose and scratched his collarbone where he knew his tattoo was located. "Ah, night-shift guards. Boring. You just can't find good ones in that lot."
And it's really true. It's very seldom for Jimin to find a hot-looking guy when he's up against security guards working night-shift in establishments that were too naive to trust their security to these sleeping and lazy hags. Usually, it's only stout and bald men who were put in night-shift, much to Jimin's disappointment. His job would've been a lot more fun if he got to play a little.
"Jiminie~" he heard Taehyung's sweet voice. "You lapsed. Are you thinking about boys again?"
Jimin chuckled at this. His best friend really knew him well. "Hmm, maybe?"
His answer made Taehyung pout. "You shouldn't. I should be the only boy in your mind, Chim."
Jimin chuckled again and leaned closer to Taehyung. He flashed him his sweetest smile. "Oh, believe me, Tae. You don't want to be part of whatever I was imagining."
This earned a shout of disgust from his best friend and a severe redness of his forearm where Taehyung smacked him.

Hmmm... Something is about to happen, eh? XD
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Kim Seokjin, our dad-joke extraordinaire. Hope you have more and more birthdays to come. I don't really have anything more to say since I've said it in Twt and ARA already. Love you always and take care! (as if he could read this *sighs*)
Love lots everyone!
