─ chasing.
@ywlysander ( playlist ) in summer ‘19
minjun adjusted his face mask and hands free earbud, then made sure his clothes were in the right place. his phone was placed carefully in his chest pocket, and the belts on his shoes were as tight as they could be. he could not afford an accident, he needed his flexibility for this. he breathed out and started to run, sliding under a parked car just a few meters away.
j, you hear me?
“loud and clear, princess. tell me, where do i start?”
well, your position is not ideal.
“you don’t say. just tell me where to go.”
I saw the widow near the school building. let me check on dj. get out of there. over.
minjun pressed the button and the call ended. he looked around, he was in a tight place. not ideal, for sure. he sighed and slid away from the car in time, because its owner just returned. minjun laid low, breathing as slowly as he could. he recognised his arts teacher. shit. luckily, he did not see minjun, and drove away as if nothing happened. minjun ran away, and climbed on a stone fence to get visibility. he spotted the post office, and some people coming out.
“hey kid! what’re you doin’ there?” minjun jumped down and ran away as far as he could. he hid behind the first car he saw parked outside of the office.
j, what the fuck?
“I had a clear view. I need to get closer to the school. where is dj?”
be careful, that was the janitor. dj’s position is near the diner, he saw ash. we have to get the widow and end the game.
“I know, wait,” minjun backed away from the car as he saw a woman approach it. luckily, there was a building close-by. he managed to run and get inside the building – one of the few empty spaces in yangwon, ready to be rent and therefore always open. it was a pretty tall building, so that gave minjun an idea. he found the staircase and got up to the last floor, opened a window and climbed out, and on the roof.
nice spiderman. now mind you, the town plaza is full of people. stay low.
“sure, boss,” he mumbled and moved very slowly, laying low just like he was asked to. he took out his binnacles and looked towards the school. the view was perfect. he spotted a girl in pink moving around, waving at the arts teacher as he got inside. it was her. “got you, widow.”
now make sure you hit the target.
“I will have to get closer than this. she looks like she is heading home.”
then you follow. get wheels.
“wheels, you say? no problem.”
I got ash, hurry j. I think he told the widow.
“thanks, dj. I will.”
minjun hung up and made his way back inside the building, then ran out of it before anyone could see him. as he got closer to the school, he saw some kids playing outside, some with bikes and – bingo. he took his mask off and approached them with a smile, asking if he could borrow their skateboard – with promises to return it. one of the kids recognised him, and gave his skateboard away in awe, then waved. minjun got on the skateboard and rolled away, with speed. he knew where the widow was heading.
“got wheels. what is your position, k. o.?”
just outside the library. i have ammo, will give you some.
be there in five.”
minjun rolled all the way to the library, and met his friend k. o., got his bag and continued his ride. he was on jangmi street, exactly where he wanted to be. unfortunately, he had to be sneaky about it. he moved slowly, trying to remain unseen. he spotted his teacher’s house – he has visited before. he knew his teacher was not at home, so he took it upon himself to use one of the pillars as a spying spot. luckily, the widow’s home was nearby, so he had a perfect shot at her backyard. he took his binnacles out and observed.
j, you see her?
“not yet, princess. but i have a perfect shot.”
good, pink. make sure you use pink.
“got you.”
minjun took his backpack off and took out a gun – a toy gun mind you. some gun that shot colourful paint instead of actual bullets. he slid a pink capsule inside, and looked for his target. the widow was outside, at the edge of her pool.
“target in place.”
remember, her strong suit is distraction. just shoot her as soon as you have visibility.
“got to love summer.”
yeah, he kind of did. especially when pretty girls took their shirts of to go inside the pool. this was one of the reasons the widow was so hard to catch – she got everyone, even princess, swooning over her. minjun concentrated, raised the gun and fixed his target. if anyone could make that shot, it was him. and he pulled the trigger. the paint ball flew right in her leg, staining it pink. the widow turned around gasping. she did not expect anyone to get her, she was the best after all. she spotted minjun, and he waved at her.
“game over, widow,” he yelled so that she can hear, then jumped down the pillar – only to turn into his arts teacher. mr geun looked very confused, and minjun could feel his heart beating fast - oh no.
“I believe you have a perfectly good explanation as to why you are shooting paint from my fence, right minjun?” mr geun smiled at him, and minjun felt so embarrassed.
“I --- sir, I am sorry—“
“perhaps a cup of tea would help you open up?” mr geun said and unlocked the door, opening it for minjun. minjun was so embarrassed he could not refuse, instead he walked inside the yard.
congratulations! we win! you can come back now, j.
“too late for that, talk to you tonight guys,” minjun answered quickly and hung up, walking towards the house. he could see the widow chuckling at his misfortune while waving at mr geun.
