Author's Note: Hi Readers! I rarely see much BOF adventure stories, so I thought I'll take this challenge and try one. :) The story will start out with the F4 members and will gradually became more of a SoEul fanfic. *Update* I originally had this story as a M rating, but the more chapters I wrote, the more I realize it may fit the T rating status, just as long as I don't go into much details with my dirty/crazy mind. :P Still, please keep the thought that there will be some hint of sexual content and violence. New chapters will be posted every 3-4 days (unless otherwise noted). Let me know what you think and happy reading. ;)
Chapter 1: Business as Usual
It was dark and quiet at the dock of Hong Kong. Only the sound of the sea that crashed against shoreline and the rocking boats was heard. The full moon and bright stars help lit the landscape, creating some shadows that the broken light poles couldn't do. During the day, the docks was always busy with stinky fishermen and cranky boat captains, but at night, the lively mosquitoes and hungry rats rule the place.
A family of rats went about their business, climbing and digging in a trash bin to find some leftover food the fishermen may had discarded. But the sudden screeching sound in a distance froze them. Their ears perked up and their red eyes didn't blink once when the sound seem to get louder by the seconds. Before they knew it, some flashing bright lights appeared and the blaring sound of an engine halted in front of them. They scattered and ran as fast as they could because they knew that the creatures who controls the engine were selfish beings who can kill or possible eat them.
When the engine stopped, three men quickly got out of a black sedan car. The man from the back seat wore a purple silk dress shirt with a bowtie and a thick, oversized glasses. He was a skinny, old man who was going bald and about half the size of the other two younger men. He clutched a wooden box on his chest and had trouble chasing the other two men who were now ahead of him.
"Eh! You idiots! Help me!" the small, old man cried in a squeaky voice.
The two men in front of him stopped and ran back to help him. They took the wooden box and allowed the old, small man to run ahead them. When another car appeared and stopped behind theirs, they ran faster onto a dock and tossed the wooden box into a small yacht. Then the two men climbed into the yacht.
"Be careful with the box, eh!" the small, old man cried again. "And help me in!" The two men yanked the small, old man in and he wailed when he landed inside the yacht. "Be even more careful with me!" he squeal.
One of the men took the box and ran inside the cockpit while the other one untied a thick rope so the yacht can be released. The old, small man rubbed his nose and glanced over at their car. He saw two men dressed in black suits running towards them. He glared at the man untying the rope and jumped up and down.
"Eh! Faster! Faster!" he cried. "They're coming!"
When the man was done untying the rope, he ran inside the cockpit. The old, small man rejoiced and held both of his arms up in victory. He giggled and his two golden front teeth glitter. "Start the boat, boys!" he cried.
However, the boat was motionless and the two men in black suit was getting closer. Nervous now, the old, small man banged on the cockpit wall. "Hey, idiots! Eh! Start the damn boat!"
But there was no answer. He quickly ran inside the cockpit when suddenly, he felt an excruciating pain on the side of his face. "Ehhh!" he cried in agony as he fell to the floor.
He landed by the foot of his two men who were frozen stiff on the floor. Blood dripped out of his mouth and even after massaging his face, his cheek seem to swell up fast. He glared up and saw a man in a dark suit in the shadow next to the door. "Eh! Who are you?" he wailed.
The man stepped out of the shadow and smirked.
"Eh?! You! You idiot flower boys!" he cried, pointing at the man.
"Hello Mr. Wu. You thought we'll make it that easy for you Chinese men to get away?" Yi Jung asked. Yi Jung took the Mr. Wu by the collar shirt with one hand and yanked Mr. Wu onto his feet.
Mr. Wu was such a small man that the force by Yi Jung jerked his head around when he was up again. He whimper and raised both of his hands in the air. "Please, don't kill me! Ehh!" he cried.
Yi Jung scoffed. "Why would I kill a stupid, annoying rat like you? You're fun to play with." He pushed Mr. Wu towards a wall so hard that it knocked Mr. Wu unconscious. Mr. Wu fell onto the floor with a small thud.
"Damn it, Yi Jung. You should had saved the little bastard for me," Woo Bin said with a huff when he arrived at the entrance.
Yi Jung smirked. "I didn't know he can get knocked out that easily."
Jun Pyo appeared behind Woo Bin and rested his shoulder by the door. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and shook his head. "These guys never learn," Jun Pyo said.
The three men tied Mr. Wu and his two henchmen's wrists and ankles with ropes. They taped Mr. Wu on the big steering wheel and the henchmen on the floor. Yi Jung pulled out a yellow notepad from his blazer and wrote "F4" on it with a red marker. He grin and taped the note on Mr. Wu's forehead. They started the engine on the yacht, took the wooden box, and quickly climbed out as the yacht drove itself towards the open sea.
"Ji Hoo, good work on locating Mr. Wu's yacht with your surveillance computer," Jun Pyo said to an earpiece in his ear. "If Yi Jung wasn't in there in time, we could had lost those monkeys."
The sound of some computer keyboards was heard through the earpiece and if Jun Pyo knew Ji Hoo well enough, he can imagine Ji Hoo smiling now. "Just another day on the job," Ji Hoo answer back through the earpiece.
"I need some beer," Woo Bin said, massaging his shoulder.
"I need a pretty girl," Yi Jung smirk.
Jun Pyo grin at Yi Jung and Woo Bin. "We should stop by the club before heading back home. If I was Master Chu, I would think we deserve that." He touched his earpiece on his ear. "What do you say, Ji Hoo?"
"You guys go ahead. I'll nap on the plane until you guys come back," Ji Hoo replied.
The three men carried the wooden box and locked it in the trunk of their car. They drove to the best nightclub in Hong Kong and partied the night away. Woo Bin got drunk. Jun Pyo gambled and lost more than he gain. And Yi Jung had a threesome with a set of twin in a private room.
When the sun rose and the three men still haven't shown up at the plane, Ji Hoo went out to fetch them. It was typical for the bachelor men to party everywhere they go and Ji Hoo knew their favorite spot. He found Woo Bin crashed on the floor with beer bottles around him and Jun Pyo resting his head on a poker table and snoring away. The nightclub was empty and only a janitor was sweeping the place from the mess people left behind. Ji Hoo woke Woo Bin and Jun Pyo up and asked them if they've seen Yi Jung. They both shook their heads and massaged the back of their heads.
Ji Hoo smiled at his friends. He was used to being the sober one in the group and wasn't surprise of his friends' actions anymore. He went upstairs to the private rooms because he knew he'll find Yi Jung in one of them. After the third room, he found Yi Jung. Yi Jung was still with his twins and the three of them were cuddling and sleeping in an upright position on a sofa.
At least someone had a good night, Ji Hoo thought. He smiled again and poked Yi Jung's arm. "Yi Jung, time to go," he said.
Yi Jung slowly opened his eyes and when he saw the girls in each of his arms, he smirked at Ji Hoo. "Give me a few minutes to say my goodbyes," he said.
The few minutes lasted an hour. It got Jun Pyo frustrated that he banged on Yi Jung's door, shouting at Yi Jung to hurry it up. But the more he forced Yi Jung to be faster, the more he heard the girls in the room scream and moan Yi Jung's name.
"Aish! That selfish, playboy Yi Jung annoys the shit out of me!" Jun Pyo said. "Does he always need two women to have fun?"
"Man, let him have his fun," Woo Bin chuckled. "You did say we deserve it."
Jun Pyo rolled his eyes and walked out of the nightclub. A few minutes after he was gone, the door finally popped open and the twins giggled as they exit the room. They were dressed in matching tight red dresses and their flawless bodies were like supermodels. Yi Jung followed close behind them and spanked one of the girls' bottom. She yelped and turned around to give him one last kiss. Yi Jung smirked when she whispered something in Mandarin in his ear. He wasn't sure what the girl told him, but from the alluring tone of her voice, he knew he did a good job on satisfying her needs. The twins giggled again and walked off, clutching each other's arms and holding their high heels.
Woo Bin whistled and couldn't keep his eyes off the twins' bottoms. When they were gone, he went up to Yi Jung and notice Yi Jung's neck had some colorful shades of red and purple marks. He slapped Yi Jung's back with a grin. "Yo bro, looked like you got yourself some number ten out of ten girls."
Yi Jung wore his blazer and fixed his tie. "I would say they're eight and half."
Woo Bin chuckled at his shallow friend. "Two girls and you still rate both of them at eight and half? Aish. I wonder who this number ten girl will be."
Yi Jung gave a crooked smile. "Come on, let's take Master Chu's precious gift to him."
The men had their breakfast in Master Chu's private jet plane. They also took a shower and tried catching up on their naps. The jet plane was like a second home to them because they often travel to do business trips for Master Chu. It had the latest technology and gadgets, a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. But the best thing about the plane was how fast it could go. Master Chu had custom built the plane to be one of the fastest planes in the world, and he specifically made it for his F4 men.
It was a short flight and they landed in South Korea by noon. They took their individual luxury sport cars that was waiting for them in a big garage at the airport and drove to Master Chu's place in Seoul. Master Chu lived in a gated estate with his own security guards. No one rarely were allowed to enter the place freely except invited guests or the F4 men.
The men cruised their cars through the open gate and parked in front of a big house. One of Master Chu's servants quickly came out and greeted the men with a sharp bow. Then he took the wooden box and followed the men inside. They were about to head to Master Chu's office, but found Master Chu sitting in the dining room and having lunch with his family. The family of three sat at the corner of a long table which was filled with a variety of dishes that can feed everyone in the estate.
When Master Chu saw the F4 men enter the dining room, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and took a quick drink of wine from a wine glass. "Ahh. My boys are finally back," he said. He had a rough, loud voice that even his whispers can be heard at the other end of a room. "Join us for lunch," he holler.
"No, we're fine," Jun Pyo answer.
Master Chu grin when he notice the wooden box his servant was carrying. "Well then, let me finish up this plate first, then we can go on our way for business." Master Chu said. He glanced over at a tall, buffy body guard who was standing a few feet away from him. "Ryuu, please take the box to my office."
Ryuu, who was half Korean and half Japanese, bowed at Master Chu and quickly did what he was told. He took the box from the servant and left the dining room. The F4 men stood and watch as Master Chu munched on his remaining food. There was a few stray of white hair growing on the top of Master Chu's hair and every time he took a bite of his food, the wrinkles around his eyes appeared. He was only in his late forties, yet his stressful youth aged him to look ten years older than he should be.
His chubby daughter sat to his right and ate as fast as him. She had pigtails and sat on a booster chair so she can reach her food. She ate with a short chop stick in one hand while her other hand held onto a thick, cooked pork belly. Her mother sat across from her and didn't eat as fast as her family. She was more picky on her food. She was eighteen years younger than her husband and unlike him and their daughter, she was petite and thin that her round pregnant stomach stood out.
Master Chu had clean out his plate spotless and stood up with the help of a cane. He was a giant next to his wife and his huge belly looked as if he should be giving birth to a set of triplets any day now. It hung over his wide pants with suspenders and the buttons on his gray dress shirt were so tight, it looked like it was about to pop off. He pulled off his bib and wiped his mouth and double chin. "Okay boys, let's get to work," he holler.
Master Chu walked with a small limp and had his cane in his right hand. He huff at every other step and led the men into his spacious office. He went to sit by his presidential desk as the men sat across from him. Ryuu had placed the wooden box on the floor next to the desk and when Master Chu glanced at him, he began taking the nails off the box with a hammer.
"The first night at the museum, and it's already been taken away," Master Chu said after folding his arm over his belly. "Was it easy to get?"
"It would had been if the stupid monkey Mr. Wu didn't interrupted us," Jun Pyo said, rolling his eyes.
"Oh! Mr. Wu?" Master Chu chuckled. "That prick will always think he can get things first. We go a long way back, him and I. When I was still young and buff like you boys, I did most of these smuggling and hard work. If it wasn't for the many injuries I sustain, I would still be doing it. How is Mr. Wu, anyways?"
"He's with his henchmen, lost in the middle of the China Sea," Yi Jung replied.
Master Chu grin and nodded. "I knew hiring you smart and clever boys right out of Shinhwa high school was a brilliant idea. My guards will never be able to do half of the work you boys are doing now. With three years of experiences under your belt working for me, things should only get easier."
"Master Chu, as long as we get our share the money, we're happy," Woo Bin said.
Master Chu smirk. "As long as you boys keep doing your job, our promise will never be broken."
The office door open and an elderly man with white hair and a black apron came in. The F4 men greeted him with a bow and the elderly man bow in return. He went over to Master Chu and when he notice the wooden box, he smiled and took out his glasses to wear.
"Mr. Kim, you're right in time," Master Chu said.
The final nail popped out and Ryuu opened the wooden box. Master Chu got up with his cane and limped towards the box. The box was filled with tons of hay and he ordered Ryuu to bring him and Mr. Kim some latex gloves. After they wore their gloves, Master Chu digged inside the hay and gently pulled out an antique porcelain vase. He smiled and held it up for everyone to see. The seventy-seven centimeter white vase was covered in some colorful artwork. He handed it to Mr. Kim and Mr. Kim examined it.
"This vase is over two thousands years old and worth more than sixteen million wons," Mr. Kim said.
The F4 men glared at each other, a bit surprised they were carrying such an expensive gem.
Mr. Kim continued examining the vase, slowly turning it to the side and viewing the bottom. "I don't think there's another replica of this vase in this world. This beautiful vase is the real deal," he added. He carefully placed the vase back in the box.
"We're selling this piece to a man from India for twice the price," Master Chu said. "He's coming here tonight to pick up the vase, then I should be able to give each of you a fat check."
Master Chu and the F4 men always split the profit. The men smiled at each other, knowing they just had another good pay day. Woo Bin got up from his seat, followed by Jun Pyo and Yi Jung.
"We'll pick up the check tomorrow morning," Jun Pyo said. "We should get going now."
Spending time at Master Chu's place was limited, as the men were only there for business and nothing more. Partying, being lazy, or working out at the gym is what they always preferred to do when they're not working.
"Boys, hold on," Master Chu said with his hand up. "I have a new job for you guys."
"You can tell us tomorrow," Woo Bin replied. "I haven't been to the gym for the last few days."
"And I need to go catch up on some of my drama shows," Jun Pyo said.
Yi Jung smirk. "I have girls waiting for me at the club."
Ji Hoo only smiled and folded his arms.
"Trust me, boys. This new job is like none other that you guys have ever had before. It may be the most challenging, riskiest, and biggest profit we have yet," Master Chu said.
Challenge? Risky? More money? The men smiled and sat down in their seats again. Master Chu grin and also sat in his chair. He pulled out a paper size photo from his draw and held it up for the men to see. Ji Hoo touched his chin. Woo Bin sat up straight. Jun Pyo wince his eyes. And Yi Jung smirked. It was a photo of a pink diamond ring.
"Boys, this special ring is called, The Pink Sparkle," Master Chu said.
