He’s home alone when he gets the call. Vida’s out running errands as Emmett waits for her, watching TV with Bart and Gilly resting beside him. He doesn’t answer the first call, the screen showing his uncle's name. It’s probably nothing he thinks to himself until the second call. From his father. Something is wrong and they need him.

He answers but doesn’t get the chance to say anything. His father’s words stopped him from doing so. The phone call lasts for only thirty seconds before his father hangs up, leaving Emmett to just sit there with a tight jaw and expressionless eyes. Even with his two cats meowing and trying to get his attention, he doesn’t hear a single thing. All he can hear is his father’s words.

“We need you, Ji-Hun. It’s time for you to leave.”

tw: death (ish), violence, kashia’s bullshit

Emmett and Vida do live peacefully together! Okay, they do have their ups and downs every once in a while but they’re strong and continue dating. He’s happy, they’re both happy.

Unfortunately Polo dies in December of 2021. Emmett is heartbroken and doesn’t get another fish afterwards. No one can replace his favorite fishboy.

Treats Bart and Gilly as his actual children, probably loves them more than he loves Vida ( which is saying a lot ).

Three years into being a spy and Emmett finds himself no longer loving the job as much. It’s nice and all but it doesn’t… feel right. The only person to know of this is his grandfather who visits alongside Emmett’s grandmother. The two go out for lunch to talk about life and Emmett reveals this to the older man. His grandfather asks him the question “ are you sure this is what you want to do? “ Emmett is unable to answer him, his grandfather doesn’t push him. They move on from the topic and it’s never brought up again.

If you don’t think Emmett is considering proposing to Vida then you’re dead wrong! It’s on his mind but he just doesn’t have the courage to ask her. He’s waiting for the perfect moment to ask her, he just doesn’t know when.

So that phone call? Yeah, he gets it on August 24th, 2027. After that his entire vibe is just off. He doesn’t tell Vida about it, he can’t even though he wants to. Everything within him wants to tell her but he can’t do that.

It takes him a month to get everything ready. He puts in his two weeks notice with MI6 and asks them to keep it a secret. He doesn’t pack any clothes, leaves behind all electronics and cards as he disappears when Vida isn’t home. He has to cover all of his tracks so that no one is able to track him, mainly his girlfriend. His family gives him a new phone with a new number, a plane ticket, and a new identity. Emmett Blackthorne is gone.

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE READING!!!! This part of Emmett’s life will be roleplayed ( idk where aigaojgao ) so it might not be exactly like this rip. But either way, here’s a basic summary of what I want to happen. So please enjoy!!

He moves to South Korea and goes by a new name Yoon Woo-Jin. His parents suggested that he goes by his Korean name and mother’s maiden name, Cho Ji-Hun. However, he goes against it only because he knew that Vida would find him like that. He gets a place to himself and immediately starts working.

His mission? To help an old family friend destroy a new gang from the inside out. While new, the group is stronger than others and growing at a rapid rate. Said gang has been starting problems, doing everything in their power to take control of everyone within their vicinity. Emmett is to not only take down this gang by creating a rapport with them but to put the group into their place. Remind them to stay in their lanes and not to disrespect those older than them.

It’s not too bad, the mission. The worst part is the lack of communication. He’s not allowed to reach out to any of his friends, only his parents, his mother’s family, and those within the gang. He knows Vida’s number better than he knows his own. Almost texts and calls her throughout his entire stay. Drunk him can’t be trusted, he legit almost called her to confess everything. Stops himself every single time.

On Vida’s end, she’s going crazy. Ever since his disappearance, she’s been trying to find him. From asking around at work, reaching out to their friends, and even his family. The Blackthornes say nothing despite knowing where he is. No matter what she does or tries to look for, she can’t find him. For six months, she tries to find him, using every single one of her resources until there’s nothing left. It’s when she comes to a stop still that someone does reach out to her, Sunbin Blackthorne. Emmett’s mother.

During those six months, Emmett has risen in his ranks. He makes himself a useful and valuable asset. He poses as a dedicated member who will do anything for the leader, a man without a family, that’s Yoon Woo-Jin. The complete opposite of the family originated and fun loving Emmett Blackthorne. This new persona is quiet, keeps to himself, and does what he’s told. The leader likes that a lot about him, Woo-Jin is the man for him.

The only problem with him climbing the ranks so quickly is that people grow suspicious of him. They try to look into him, they watch him closely, and follow him wherever he goes. Emmett is forced to be even more careful and cautious of what he does and where he goes. Besides, at this rate, the gang will be destroyed within a few more months. He just has to hold off until then.

But not everything goes like he wants it to when Vida Torres arrives. He gets back to his apartment after a fight with another group where he sees her. Still as beautiful as ever, even as she glares at him with red eyes. He doesn’t give her a chance to talk before he pulls her in for a hug. He cries, she cries, they go inside his apartment. Unknown to the two are the peering eyes that watch the pair walk into the apartment.

Comes to find out that it was his mother who told Vida everything, the older woman giving in because she felt bad. To be left out of the loop about your partner’s whereabouts and mission, it was unfair and she didn’t deserve that. Apologies and a lot of yelling later, he tells her everything. “Just a month or two and I’ll be done. I’ll go back to you, I promise,” is what he tells her as he holds onto her tight. He only needed one more month and he’ll be fine.

Word about him having a girl got out, the other members teasing him about it. He can take petty and dumb teasing but he does not tolerate disgusting comments about the love of his life. One guy tries it, another member at the same ranking as Emmett. He doesn’t appreciate it, he attacks the guy. The two come out of the fight with bruises, a busted lip, and a black eye on the other guy. To the gang, Woo-Jin is always calm and doesn’t bother listening to any of them. Yet here he is, attacking one of them because of something they said about his girl. It’s called he’s in love you fuckers! This doesn’t go well, the other guy is pissed and he’s holding a grudge. Remember him everyone.

As for Emmett and Vida, well, he doesn’t tell her to leave. Honestly, he loves her company. Nor does he tell her to be careful, she’s a spy. If anyone tries to come for her, she’ll take care of them. He takes Vida to meet his mother’s side of the family. The Cho’s own a small restaurant, it’s really cute and homey. They’re a bunch of civilians who aren’t aware of the Blackthorne's true profession but they do know that the family is rich. It’s nice, the two feel normal being with them.

Unknown to the couple, the man that Emmett attacked is known as Lee Sang-Woo is already planning his revenge. He’s not a fan of this newbie climbing the rankings so quickly. Instead of attacking Emmett directly, he tries to find out who he is. By that, he wants to know where he came from and if he’s actually loyal to the group. Ends up finding a trace to the man that Emmett is really working for. Nam Do-Hun, the leader of a well established mafia with ties in the political world in South Korea and minor influences in the entertainment business. The Nam family are a group that had issues with this gang constantly entering their terrority. Using Emmett to destroy them from the inside is just a lot easier and cleaner to do than having them all killed.

But because of this small trace, it gets bad for Emmett and now Vida who’s staying with him. Instead of attacking the two, Sang-Woo and the gang leader set up a plan. The plan is to give Emmett a reason to contact the Nam family and have them meet him somewhere. Probably has him escort or watch over the gang leader. He falls for the bait because he’s been waiting for this moment.

The Nam family arrives but waiting for them is the gang. Big bad, a fight breaks out. Emmett, who is usually a king when fighting, is getting JUMPED by the gang leadr and Sang-Woo. But guess who comes to his rescue? You guessed it, the love of his life Vida <3. They’re literally kicking ass together because they’re SOULMATES.

During the middle of this big ol’ fight, Emmett sees Vida just kicking ass and he just blurts how much he loves her. And asks her to marry him. While people are fighting around them. While gunshots are being fired. She says yes. They kiss, they then go back to fighting.

The mission successfully ends but with casualties. Many were injured, some to the point where they were to be hospitalized. But either way, Emmett’s mission to destroy said gang comes to an end and he’s able to return home with Vida.

They get married :) It’s really cute, they’re both so happy, everyone is happy for them.

Emmett stops being a spy and goes down the route of assassination. Years later he becomes the new Blackthorne head. He loves it here <3

I KNOW THAT DEANNA AND HECATE WANT SATOMI AND TOMMY TO REOPEN BLACKTHORNE AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW!!!! EMMETT AGREES AND HELPS WITH REBUILDING THE SCHOOL. I can’t say much about it because I don’t know anything <3 Just know that he’s happy

Him and Vida have a lot kids! Most are children that they adopt, idk how many pls ask strud. The torthorne kids get to decide on if they want to become spies, assassins, or just civilians.

Very happy with his wife and children. Simply refuses to die and leave them behind so he works extra hard during each mission ( sometimes he comes back a mess but who cares <3 He’s alive )

Dies of old age <3

I love my son.

“But it’s not our school anymore,” Vida laughed, shaking her head. The sentiment was strange to say aloud, but it was true. Still, being here again, dressed up under the lights of that familiar ballroom, brings back memories of all her years there, including earlier ones where she’d first seen the face of the man in her arms across it’s polished dance-floor. A devilish grin worked its way to her lips, feeling a warm sort of thrill move through her chest to hear him play along with the act. She slipped her hands around his neck, making sure she treaded the inches of his body from his waist to his shoulders with her fingers on the way there. “I could be busy,” Vida started, grateful they’re in a much more secluded section of the ballroom. Deep brown eyes glance up at him through dark eyelashes, expression expertly soft and alluring, one she’s perfected over the years, one he’s definitely seen before. “There’s this guy I came here with tonight. Maybe I ought to stick with him,” Vida sighs, red lips in a small pout. “But there’s a chance… I could be convinced otherwise.”

“It’ll always be our school.” Of course they were joking before but he was serious as he said this. Because no matter what, Gallagher will always be their school, their home. It was the place that gave them the chance to learn more about themselves, meet close friends, and meet each other. Gallagher will always be their school, no matter what. But such a serious tone and expression couldn’t last long, not with wandering hands that made him go crazy. The two of them were supposed to be here to check up on their friends and family who have yet to graduate, to enjoy a night away from their work, and to just socialize. And yet here they were, pulling each other close and trying to drive each other mad with each drag of the finger or lips that were inches apart as if they were going to kiss, only for it to be a trick. And the two fell for it every single time, Emmett more than Vida. “You’re kidding, someone was able to get you as their date? The famous and beautiful Vida Torres? I don’t believe it,” he said, head peeking up for a few seconds to try and find this mystery date. “And he left you all alone like this? What a loser. Why stay with someone like him?” Just leave Emmett Blackthorne for, wait for it, Emmett Blackthorne.

It had been so long since he’d gotten to hang out with his cousin, and Sam was dying to hear about how his last couple months had gone. “Missed you too, man, I’m so glad you’re here now, though!” he beamed, holding him by the shoulders to get a proper look at him. “I’m totally fine, you don’t need to worry about me at all, I swear,” Sam assured, shooting him a grin that said ‘I’ve got this’. “I’ve mostly just been making sure Ingrid’s alright and worrying about my friends— they had it worse than me,” he sighed.

“You say that but I can’t help it.” He was the older cousin, he had to worry. And having Sam and Ingrid was as close as he was getting to siblings, so he had to look over them. Emmett frowned at that. “And she’s alright, correct?” He would hope so. “I’m sorry about your friends, hopefully they’re doing better now.”

She welcomed the kiss with a loving grin, relishing in the way he felt like home. “No, no, that’s not what I’m saying— I think it would almost be trespassing this time around, and we have a hotel,” Vida laughed, the sound bubbling in the space in between them. “I’m saying you look… ridiculously handsome in this suit and maybe where we repeat ourselves doesn’t have to be same, but I am thinking heavily about undoing the rest of those buttons,” she said, voice lower for only him to hear as her hands pulled him in close again, refusing to give up the distance again after the kiss. “You don’t have any plans tonight, do you, Blackthorne?” she whispered, pretending for a moment they weren’t Vida and Emmett, and just two strangers flirting.

“Trespassing, please! This is practically my family’s school.” It was more of Grayson’s school but with the familial connection between the Gallagher and Blackthornes, he would call his as well. But she was right, they did have a place to stay. No need for them to stay within a cramp car like last year, not when there was an actual bed for them to use. His grin grew wider as she kept him close, Emmett stepping closer to her, ridding whatever distance was between them. If there were any. “It depends--" he mused, taking in stride this act. "-- on what you're doing tonight, Torres." There was supposed to be more but my head went 💀💀💀 so take this shit

“How can this place look exactly the same and feel so different?” she sighs, hands slipping up the buttons of his flimsy shirt. Some things aren’t different at all, and that includes how much she loves the man next to her. If anything, they’ve only become more solid, more sure, more like family. “You know, I can’t help but think about this time last year and how we ended the night… elsewhere.”

“That’s what I’ve been thinking this whole time.” He only spent one year at Gallagher but even then it felt like home. Familiar and welcoming. And while nothing about it has changed, it didn’t feel the same, no longer like his home. But that was alright because he had a new home with the woman before him. Vida Torres, his love and entire world. Who needed Gallagher when you have her? Emmett chuckled at her words, head diving to steal a kiss. “Is this you telling me that we should end this night there as well? You know, to keep up traditions.” What traditions Ji-hun, what fucking traditions. Oop sorry fam, the prose left because he’s so fucking dumb and weird. I hate him personally.

“Emmett!” he beamed, running up to hug the guy, strong arms around insanely broad shoulders. “Dude, you look great! How’s London? Where’s Vida? Ohmygod, we have so much to catch up on, you have to tell me everything about your job,” Sam rambled, eyes bright, more than happy to just get a hug in with his cousin. “Well, the stuff that’s not classified, I guess.”

“Sam!!!” His own arms wrapped around his cousin, pulling the other tight and close. “I’ve missed you so much.” And he was worried. About his friends, about his cousins and if either of the interacted with the double agents or if they went on any missions. “Thanks, you look great as well! London has been amazing and Vida--” He pulled away from the other, eyes scanning the room to find his girlfriend. “There. Talking to someone with... big ears.” Emmett didn’t know them. “And yeah, I’ll tell you everything but you have to tell me about this school year. Are you okay?” 

[emmettblack]

“you decide to grace us with your presence and you show up looking like that?” she asked, gesturing toward emmett with a grin on her face. “honestly, you never disappoint me.” she moved in, wrapping her arms around emmett and bringing him in with a tight embrace. “i missed you,” she said, and her voice was muffled by the fabric of his top. “welcome back.” she pulled back, the smile she’d greeted him with still on her face. // @emmettblack·

“What can I say? I always have to show up and outdress everyone.” Though, despite his joking words, his arms wrapped around her as well as he pulled her close. “I’ve missed you too,” Emmett said softly, lips dipping into a slight frown during the seconds she couldn’t look up at him. But when they pulled away, the smile was back, as if nothing was wrong. “Thank you, glad to be back.” A beat. “Are you okay? I heard that this year was a mess!”

[emmettblack]

dimitriorlov·:

“there he is,” dimitri said, laughing softly as he moved to place a hand on emmett’s shoulder as a way of greeting. he clapped him there once before pulling his hand back, switching the drink in his opposite hand to the one in question. “how have you been?” he asked, gesturing to him. his eyes moved around the room. “is vida here?” // @emmettblack·

“Dimitri!” He said cheerfully. “I almost said that I’m surprised to see you here but your girlfriend still goes to school here.” Well, not anymore because Lou was graduating the next day. “I’ve been great. Work has been tiresome but that’s to be expected. How are you?” Emmett asked before pointing off into the crowd. “Yeah she is, she’s over there talking to her cousin.” 

[emmettblack]

alecxhill·:

Alec wasn’t really a hugger, expect when it came to his sister, but he could not help but return the embrace when Emmett pulled him into one. “It’s good to see you too man,” he said with a light chuckle. “How’s London?”

@emmettblack·

“I’ve missed seeing your face!” And his ass but they been knew that. Pulling back, he smiled at the other. “London’s great. Very different from here, obviously. How’s D.C.?”

“Who could say no to taking a picture with the Emmett Blackthrone?” Miray is practically beaming as she walks over to him. 

“That’s what I’m saying.” To be fair, I made this open starter for Mel because of the starter that she made last year. “Come on now, get over here for this picture. You look beautiful by the way.”

“Fascinating.” His eyes followed their hands, taking notice of each careful pour and shake. Emmett could tell that their skills went beyond what was taught at school and ventured more to a professional level. He was impressed! “Thank you,” he said, taking the glass into his hand and slowly sipping from it. He sat there for a few seconds before smiling deeply. “This is truly amazing. Though, I’m not surprised. From the start I knew that it was going to be good.”

“It’s not a true Gallagher party if you don’t a picture with me,” he corrects for his friend, grinning. “How’s it feel being back?”

“Wrong.” He was quick to deny the other’s correction, though, he does laugh. “It feels both nice and strange. As if I don’t belong anymore even though it’s only been a year since I left.”
