"Again?"
You groan at Jeongguk's voice snapping through the earpiece, the vim evident through the tiny Bluetooth. Half-tempted to just yank it out and throw it into the drain ahead, you sigh and reach down to yank at your foot once more.
"Your heel is stuck in the drain again?!"
"Stop spitting through the intercom and help me, Jeongguk," you grit through your teeth. One particular tug has you grunting with might, causing him to groan into your ear. "Get here now."
"For someone who is in desperate need of my help," his voice feeds through the intercom. "You're giving an awful amount of attitude."
"I am stuck and you're whining about helping me."
"Just leave the shoe behind."
Eyes catching a man who had stepped out to light his cigarette, you release the death grip on your calf and wave timidly. "Hello," you barely mumble as you brush your fringe from your face. Turning so he does not watch you talk, you continue bickering. "You want me to walk around this formal event barefoot and get kicked out? Are you dying to do this solo?"
"God, that would be the dream, (Y/N)," he says. "How did you know?"
"Jeongguk."
"What?"
His voice takes you by surprise and your body twists as much as it can to face him. Jeonggukâs face is anything but amused as he takes in the state of you; sheepish as you stand, stiletto heel wedged between a small slot. For a moment, he stands there, hands pushing back his blazer to rest comfortably atop his hips, silent as he regards you. Maybe at one point in life, his creased brows and set mouth would have intimidated you but Jeongguk's exasperation towards you had now become a daily occurrence.
A day without hearing a sigh seems rare. His opinion towards having you as a partner is no secret. In fact, any effort he had made towards hiding it was disregarded within the first week of working alongside him - tossed aside as soon as you made your first mistake. You would argue that the mistake was small, inevitable, though it got you a two hour briefing that consisted of Jeongguk yelling until his voice was a mere rasp.
"Help me out," you groan. "Why are you just standing there?"
"Because," he seethes as he all but stomps to you. The man drops to his knees quickly, fingers dragging down your calf in search of a buckle to let you out. "Never in my life have I met someone who gets their shoe stuck in a grate twice in a year."
"Well, consider yourself lucky," placing a hand on his shoulder, you glance around the gardens. A particularly harsh tug from his hands sends your knee against his neck and earns you a glare. "Be careful."
"Get your knee off my throat," he mutters before wrapping his fingers around the seven inch heel. Wiggling it gently, he tests how deep youâre stuck before sighing. âCanât I just break it off?â
Your knee pushes deeper into his throat.
âBreak my Loubs, Jeon,â you threaten. âI dare you to break them.â
Well aware that you are testing the short-tempered agent before you, your eyes refuse to meet the heavy glare he sends your way. The back of his hand swats at your leg and causes you to lose footing. Youâre just about to curse as he grips the thin heel and pulls. Thereâs a suspicious scraping noise and youâre out, falling to your knees to inspect that he hasnât damaged your precious purchase of the month with worried eyes. âTheyâre fine,â he says with a roll of his eyes, pushing himself up to stand once again. âItâs just your dignity thatâs been ruined.â
âWouldnât have been ruined if you had got here earlier,â upon realising that your heels were fine, you pick yourself up. Fingers brushing any dirt from your knees, you face him with a raised brow. âThank you, partner.â
âIâm here to do my job,â his retort is fast, snappy. âNot babysit you, (Y/N).â
âWhatever,â you mutter.
Your shoulder brushes against his as you move past him, deciding to resume the task at hand. Pulling open the fire exit door, you saunter back into the venue, sizing up the ground lobby of the opera house. Not much has happened since your small predicament - attendees still flooding the floor. Each one looks more haughty than the next, shoulders stoic and noses high. Your own posture mirrors their movements quickly as your feet carry you up the stairs to head towards the small bar.
You smile at the bartender who wipes down the counter in front of you.
âGood evening,â he greets. âWhat can I get for you?â
Your eyes widen at his words, elbows clumsily dropping onto the marble counter as you gasp in faux wonder. âWell,â your tone is sickly sweet. âCan I tell you a secret?â
âHeâs glancing your way, souris,â Jeongguk passes into your ear. Your eyes nearly turn upward at the use of your codename that he insists on using during missions to conceal identities - surely calling someone that absurd name in public would bring more attention? âOn your right.â
When the waiter tilts his head in curiosity, you continue.
âI donât know what to order since Iâm a bit of a virgin when it comes to drinking,â turning your head, you meet the eyes of a man who stares at you amused. Your gasp is near comical, mouth agape and eyebrows raised. âOh my gosh, pardon me!â
âNo,â he waves you off with a chuckle. âI can help, if youâd like.â
You smile sheepishly and pat the stool next to you for him to move onto.
âPlease,â you say as he inches closer. âItâs a bit embarrassing but I thought itâs time for me to try.â
âOf course,â he says before turning to the bartender. âWeâll start with something easy for the sweetheart. Two negronis.â
âThank you,â you say as the drinks are made.
The man leans against the back of his chair as he sizes you over, eyes raking indecently.
âThat is no problem, sweetheart,â he smirks. âWhat is a girl like you doing all alone?â
âLike me?â
âForgive me but a beautiful girl like you cannot be alone on a friday evening like this,â he runs a hand through his hair.
âFucking dick.â
You nearly jump at Jeonggukâs voice hissing into your ear piece. A quick glance over the balcony allows you to spot him lounged on the sofa, the bottom half of his face concealed by a glass of whiskey. Even if you couldnât see him in his entirety, his hard-set eyes show his disgust perfectly. You donât blame him for his reaction but he shouldnât be surprised. You were sent on this task to gain the attention of the man before you with full knowledge that he was seedy.
âIâm learning to broaden my tastes,â you shrug. âSpending too much time at home or with my nose in my books.â
âIs that so? A homebody, are we?â
Two crystal glasses are placed onto the counter, itâs reddish brown contents shining under the barâs spotlights. Your fingers curl over the rim of the glass as a safety measure as he picks his own up to sip at. âHuge one,â you pout. âSometimes I feel like Iâve only caused myself to become so inexperienced.â
âYeah?â The sip he takes is long and slow. âWell, Iâm here if you want help⊠broadening your tastesâŠâ
âI appreciate that,â you smile as you push your hair over your shoulder.
The man hums, âSo do I get a name, sweetheart?
âI donât know, I quite like what youâre calling me already,â you pluck the wedge of orange that is used as garnish off the rim of the tumbler. Bringing it to your mouth, you make sure to hold his gaze as you suck on it slowly, pulling it from between your lips with a gentle pop. âSweetheart.â
He chuckles once more, âItâs only fitting for someone who looks so sweet.â
âI taste better,â you wink. âWhat about you? I canât simply know you as the man who introduced me to negronis.â
âSung Hoon,â he nods his head. âBang Sung Hoon.â
This isnât new information to you.
There may not be a single thing this Sung Hoon could relay to you about himself that you do not know. For the last week, youâve stayed up until the early hours of dawn tracking down each detail about the man before you. Every single detail of his life - from the brand of coffee that he must drink after his morning run to his extensive list of exes - all ingrained in your head. Youâve followed his every move through your trusty laptop, scouring over databases and emails until you knew everything to know about the man.
Sung Hoon has been on your agencyâs radar for a while. The son of Bang Won-Shik, the boss of an extensive drug syndicate that ran rampant. His father was practically untouchable; hidden from the eyes of society. Sung Hoon, however, was the complete opposite. His mornings start as flashy as his nights end, studded with wealth and luxury.
âWow,â you purr, lifting your own glass to finally sip from. âThat matches you perfectly.â
âDo you think so?â
âA strong name for an even stronger looking man,â you coo, fingers gently brushing against his bicep.
âStart drawing this conversation to a close,â comes Jeonggukâs voice. âCurtains are rising soon. We need to leave.â
You choose to ignore the surly looking man below you, giggling some more at whatever Sung Hoon says.
âWhy donât we continue this?â he offers. âIâm sure my seats beat yours.â
Your finger taps at your chin as Jeongguk speaks into the intercom again, âDonât you dare, souris.â
âI do have a very good seat,â you tease.
âDo they beat private boxes?â
âSouris.â
âOh,â you smile. âDefinitely not.â
Sung Hoon stands, elbow crooked for you to take. You take it without a secondâs thought, wrapping your hand around his bicep. You donât manage to get that far away from the bar before you gasp, tapping his arm once for him to loosen his grip on you. âSo sorry,â you pout. âI forgot my clutch! One moment.â
âThat better be you finding an exit,â Jeongguk spits.
Snatching your purse off the counter, you turn to where heâs stood, shooting daggers with just his eyes.
âYour babysitting is done for the night,â you say under your breath. When Sung Hoon isnât looking, you lift a finger to flip him off. âYou can go home now, partner.â
I just love starting things that I am yet to finish!
