diamond in the rough

Mingi smirks as he watches the explosion from afar, meanwhile, Chiyoko is in utter confusion. Mingi searches his pockets before cursing loudly, it must've fallen out when he was shoved out of the car.

"C'mon, we need to go get it," Mingi ushers her to follow as he walks back to the car that is now in flames.

"Wait! Did you do that? When did you have the time-"

Mingi turns around to stop her ranting, "A lot can happen when you're not paying attention. Now c'mon, we gotta go get it."

"Get what!?"

"Just c'mon!"

"Fuck my life," she mutters under her breath before catching up with Mingi.

As Mingi searches the pile of rubble, Chiyoko stands off to the side daydreaming.

"Aha," Mingi picks up the box, "There it is."

Mingi smirks as he finds the object in the pile of rubble and directs his attention to his daydreaming teammate.

Mingi rolls his eyes and calls out to her, "Alright where's the phone you said you still had it."

Chiyoko giggles and bobs her head yes, "Indeed I do."

"Then where is it?" Mingi asks once more approaching the girl.

Chiyoko shuffles and looks down at her feet, "Under my titty."

Mingi double blinks taken back by her answer and calmly calls her name, "Chiyoko."

"Yes?" She answers looking up at him.

"Is the phone in your bra?"

Chiyoko rolls her eyes, "Duh! I just said that- Mingi!" Chiyoko starts to bounce around.

Mingi stares at her, she is acting weirder than usual, "What's up?"

"My titty is vibrating! Why is my titty vibrating!"

Mingi stares at her in disbelief, "It's probably because the phone is ringing you, dumbass."

She stops bouncing at looks at him, "Oh your right it's probably Seonghwa!"

"Then pick up the phone... You know what give it to me," Mingi orders holding his hand out to receive the phone. Chiyoko rolls her eyes muttering something under her breath.

She turns around to reach into her white, now dusty shirt to pull out the buzzing phone. She turns to hand it to Mingi before shouting, "Sike!"

She quickly answers the phone, "Seonghwa, hi!"

Seonghwa on the other line rolls his eyes, "Hey Chiyoko, did you guys retrieve the item?"

She quickly pulls the phone away from her turning to Mingi, "Hey, did you find whatever you were looking for?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Nothing!"

She puts the phone against her ear once again, "Yeah Mingi found it!"

"Alright good, now put him on the phone."

"Gasp, do you not want to speak to me?"

"No, that's not it-"

"No, no fine!" She marches over to Mingi and shoves the phone in his hands then goes back to her spot without any explanation.

After several minutes pass Mingi calls out to her, "They're coming to get us, be ready. We have to get San and Wooyoung next."

"Alright!"

So as time goes by, Chiyoko has somehow convinced Mingi to play tic tac toe with her using sticks and dirt. And the more they played, the more Mingi wonders why he let her convince him into playing this game knowing he is going to get his ass beat, mercilessly.

The score you say?

it's 13-7.

"Haha, bitch I win!" Chiyoko triumphantly shouts as she does her victory dance. She settles down to put another tally mark down on her scoreboard, as Mingi stares at her with annoyance.

There has to be some way she is cheating, he just isn't convinced. Discretely he pushes some dirt on her scoreboard to make sure she loses count.

"Hey! I know you did that!" Chiyoko pouts, as Mingi evilly smirks. But before anything can escalate further, a beep is heard from behind them.

"Oh my god, Seonghwa!"
