Notes and warning: The fic that written is purely fiction and made up inside this weird head of mine, some are loosely inspired by movie and some by songs. i rarely proof-read my fics because i have this tendency of adding up things here and there resulting it to be longer and the plot end up getting more complicated than it supposed to be.
we all have our own battle in life, i do too. i escape from it through writing and reading, it took me places. its like a vacation for my mind and soul. its like my safe haven. i hope you found yours maybe in my writing, i hope you could forget your surroundings for a little while and get lost inside those alternate universe, if not in mine maybe in other fics. i wish you well and i thanked you for spending time reading mine.
unsure if we were supposed to do 2 versions but the left one’s me at home and the right one’s me when i want to be sexc and go out (WITH A MASK OFC!!!! wear ur masks if you don’t already smh)

The sound of fast paced footsteps and heavy breathing echoes throughout the dark narrow alley located in the hidden part of the city where two figure wearing all black from two different sides, looking like nothing more than a shadow in the darkness of the night. It was one of the suspect who escaped from the scene where his team ambushed a lair of alleged human trafficking. Few suspect had been caught while one manage to escape that had him in pursuit for almost fifteen minutes straight and leads to this exact alley. Juyeon pick up his pace and stretched his hands to reach the suspect’s hood but missed it by an inch almost making him stumbled. But he manage to balance his body and keep chasing the suspect.
When the suspect took a turn into a corner, he follows and without him knowing, the guy had been waiting for him by the wall. A punch thrown at the moment he take his turn but his instinct is fast enough to block the punch by shielding the side of his face using his forearm and take his own swing hitting the suspect right on his nose causing the suspect to stumble back head ricocheting against the wall.
“Put your hands on the back of your head where i can see it.” Juyeon said firmly taking his gun from his back and point it to the suspect. But he didn’t budge, he look back and forth to Juyeon and the gun he was holding trying plan his next moves.
“While I’m still being nice.” He added, but the suspect still didn’t comply and stare straight into Juyeon’s eyes in a challenging manner. He know the suspect had figure the nature of the law; only use guns as your last resort.
He suddenly took a step forward and throw a kick aiming to Juyeon’s ribs but Juyeon took a step back just enough to counter the kick sending the suspect stumbling to the side. Without giving him any time to react, he spin his body and a hard kick landed right on the suspect jaw shoving him to the ground unconscious.
“I warned you.” Juyeon quipped as he walk towards the unconscious man trying to think of a way to take him back to his team since he dropped hid radio along the way. But then a sound of a gunshot stop him from walking and he turn around immediately with his gun ready to point to anyone behind him. He saw another man a younger one, too young to even hold a gun. He was in startled state constantly looking at Juyeon and up to the roof on the building from across the streets looking like he just seen a ghost.
“Put the gun down and we will walk out of here alive.” Juyeon said slowly trying to talk the guy out so no one will be harmed.
“No!” The guy yelled still holding his gunpoint to Juyeon and still constantly looking in fear and determination. Distracted.
He was way too distracted and Juyeon took the opportunity to take a step forward swiftly taking the gun from the guy and twist his hand to his back pushing his body down kneeling to the ground using his weight.
“Juyeon.” He look back to see one of his teammate running to him and stops to catch his breath with both hands on each side of his knee.
“Did you do all that?” He asks straighten his body and put his hands on his waist still panting hard looking at both suspect then to Juyeon.
“Not really.” He said looking up to the dark roof where the suspect keep glancing to, trying to make out any form of human then back to the suspect’s gun and lean over to take a closer look. It has dent on the rear grip, like it was shot with another bullet.
“What is it?” Sangyeon asks
“Nothing.” Juyeon said before getting the first suspect up with Sangyeon’s help to walk back to where their team was.
“Good instinct.” You said taking your eyes away from the scope as side smile grow on your face when he take one last glance to where you were and you swear he was looking straight to your eyes before turning on his heels and walk away. You pack your sniper riffle into the case and wait until they’re no where to be seen before you got out from behind the stacks of boxes and walk to the opposite side through the roof where you had been following him since the beginning of his mission.
-
You drive your black hummer deeper into the base after going through the usual security check. You lean forward looking through your windshield looking at two helicopter flying above you ready to land on the designated area. You parked your car on your own spot and hop off the vehicle.
“Chan.” You called when you saw the said guy walking closer to you from the helicopter and he gave you his usual sweet smile while waving at you.
“Sniper.” He beamed
“I have a name Chan.” You chuckled while getting your sniper riffle from the back seat and he raise his eyebrow looking at the riffle then to you. You shut the back door and shake your head walking into the building followed by him.
“Did you bring back my captain in one piece?” You ask turning around making him chuckle.
“Yes ma’am and your best friend too.” He said gesturing his hand to the helicopter where two of your team carrying a crate on both side and place it on the ground before getting back in while Chan’s team loading the crate into a truck to be transferred into the building.
“How was it?” You asks him now walking side by side into the building greeting a few mechanic who was on their night shift.
“It turns out that this, the one that we just took down was one of their lair.” He said and you stop walking looking at him in disbelief.
“What? The informer didn’t look it through?”
“I think they overlooked it and i just got an information that the business might be owned by one of the minister.”
“You’ve got to be kidding.” You groaned out loud gaining every attention inside the huge garage. “We don’t take chained cases and the one that is connected to any of the minister Chan. Don’t risk this division. Its not worth it.” You said but the guy was way too flustered to say anything back. It was the first time you ever snap on him since you just start to loosen up to the two team just recently despite being there for almost four years.
“Its too late Y/N.” Sunwoo appeared from the outside with Changmin walking behind him.
“If we mess with the blue house they have more than enough power to take us down.” You said now looking at your own captain then to Changmin who now standing directly in front of you.
“Its already done for Y/N don’t blame us, we don’t know either.” He said through gritted teeth clearly didn’t like how you lash out on the other’s team captain. But you couldn’t take it when your team throw them self into the pit that you had been trying to keep them away from.
“Hey, we do what we always do best okay.” Chan touching your shoulder gently to calm you down as the atmosphere between you and Sunwoo started to tense. You ignored him before stomping into your team’s quarters right between SKZ and ATZ team.
“Whoa, easy.” Haknyeon said when he heard the main door slams shut and saw you walking straight to the weapon room without greeting them like you always did.
“What’s wrong with her?” Haknyeon asks when Sunwoo and Changmin enters the room.
“Its about the case.”
“Y/N we don’t know about it.” Sunwoo said chasing after you into the weapon room and close the door behind him, walking to you who was placing back your sniper riffle onto its place.
“You should’ve infiltrate those place first Sunwoo, like we always did. Why did you skip that crucial process? We always double check every cases before proceeding with the mission. What had gotten into you? You just risk this place by meddling with one of the power from the blue house and if they found out about us, if the whole board agree that we are the threat, even the president couldn’t protect us.” You yelled aggressively, putting him in silence.
“We just want it to end sooner.”
“Now look where it get you. You need to track them one by one for god knows how long and we had to put other case on pending. This need to be done immediately Sunwoo, we need to take them all down before they found us and tear this place apart.”
“I’m sorry Y/N.”
“Just forget it.”
-
“I’ve heard about it.” Was the only thing that came out from Lt. General Lee when you came to his office the next night. Sitting on the chair opposite from him just like last time when he decided to hand his sons life to your hands. The only difference was the atmosphere wasn’t as tight as last time. But you still hadn’t over upsetting about the profound information about the recent case.
“Let your and two other team worry about that, ATZ will back you up as soon as they done with their mission. I heard you lash out on Chan and your captain last night.” You look down picking your nail, you wanted to say you didn’t mean to but it was done, even if you did feel slightly bad about it.
“But it was me Y/N, who is at fault for not looking deeper into the case before authorizing it.” He said as his eyes looking at you with a glint of guilt in his eyes.
“Let me help them fix this.” You suggested but he shake his head making you furrowed your brow.
“I understand how you feel Y/N, I’m worried about the consequences of this mission too, about this divsion’s wellbeing. But you and I are well aware that if this case leads to one of the minister, no one can handle it other than us. You know the official force wont dare to take this mission for their own good.” He explained and you couldn’t be more agree to it.
“But it’ll risk this place.” You sighed. “and us.”
“The president have our back remember.”
“I know but-”
“Just focus on Juyeon for now Y/N. If he safe, this place will be safe.”
“But he don’t have enough power to save us. He just started and he is in the lowest rank.”
“That is your job Y/N. If he’s doing great in every mission, it wont take long for him to climb up the ranks. But the thing is, he isn’t greedy for ranks. You need to push him without him knowing. But this might cost him getting an enemy within his team and by that time you need to keep an eye on his own team rather than the real enemy he is facing.” He paused for a moment as a small proud smile creep on his face as he leans back to his chair both elbow prepped on the arm rest, hands clasp together.
“I heard Juyeon was praised for his first mission. Was it you?”
“No, its him. I just followed him around.” You said and a relieved sighed escaped the old man’s lips. It was the first time you’ve seen his fatherly side, and it suddenly made you wonder, if your father is still around would he look like him? It was also the first time you ever took in every detail of his features and his eyes strikes you the most. if the wrinkle and the eye bag wasn’t there, you could see Juyeon’s when you look at it.
“He’s doing great sir. You can leave him to me,” you exhales, before leaning forward, elbows on your tight. “I promise I’ll take care of him.”
“Here,” he said while pulling the drawer from under his desk and pushed two black box across the desk closer to you
“One for you and one for my son.” You scoot over to take one of the box placing it on your lap before giving him a suspicious look that he just chuckle to. You slowly open the box revealing an expensive looking black watch and you place it on the desk before opening another box that has larger version of the first one. You look back to the man asking for explanation.
“I asked your favorite dongsaeng to plant a tracker on it just like the one he made for your team. But the one could track him is the one who had the pair, no one could ever track him aside from you. Not even me.”
“Why?” You asked not getting why he trust you too much
“In case they found out about this division, we all have records, an army records. But you’re not an army Y/N, you don’t even exist anywhere inside the database. You’re just a normal citizen. So if this pla-”
“Don’t say it please.” You cut him off
“But instead of protecting him why don’t i just protect you and keep you here?”
“I’m old Y/N and when you get older, you starts to malfunction.” He said leaning back on his chair eyes still looking at you. “I keep forgetting things these day Y/N.” He confessed while looking to his own picture on the wall, wearing his full uniform and medals. You feel sorry for him, and you too looking to his picture probably taken years ago when he still look healthy and young. When you look back to him, he already looking at you with a hopeful eyes.
“I trust you Y/N. Don’t let me down.”
-
“You really don’t have to.” You silently watch as Juyeon bit his lips to contain the growing smile on his face.
“They only had this kind of design for couple set and besides i get lesser price for the set.” You lied showing him your own that matched the one you gave him and you could see how his eyes sparkle that tug some string from the pit of your stomach.
“Thank you Y/N.” He said taking off his own watch and replace it with the one you bought then shows it to you with the brightest smile.
“Take it as a friendship token. Don’t you ever take it off.” You playfully threaten him making him chuckle.
“By the way how was it?” You asks flipping the meat on the round griller in the middle of the table taking in the nice scent that make your stomach to grumble so hard that Juyeon gave you a comical look and you grinned sheepishly.
“What, my mission?”
“Mhm.” You nod tasting the end of your chopstick deciding to take the meat that almost cooked before he beat you to it, placing the meat on your bowl.
“Its okay.”
“Okay.” You said knowing that he probably couldn’t give you the full detail and dig in your own food in silence.
“Which museum do you work in by the way?” He asks almost making you choke on your own food,
“I don’t work in a museum Juyeon, I work with the research team, i work in the field with the expedition team.”
“Yeah, where’s the base?” He asks again almost making you broke a cold sweat. You didn’t thought about it to that extend.
“Y/N?” You whip your head instantly to the voice and you never been so glad to see the guy who was approaching you while waving with the sweetest smile he always wear.
“Oh hey.” You wave back trying to hide that you were glad that he decided to show up at the right time and Juyeon look back to see the said man.
“Are you alone?” You ask, looking around to look for his fiancée then back to him when you couldn’t find any familiar faces.
“No actually my friend wanted to try this new barbeque restaurant.” He answered before turning his head to look at Juyeon then back to you with his both eyebrow raised.
“Oh this is Juyeon, Juyeon this is my cousin. Chanhee.”
“Your boyfriend? Gosh, you even have a couple watch.” You almost choked at the word boyfriend but before you could correct him, he cut you off.
“Its good to know you’ve been seeing someone.” He said taking the seat right next to you. “I’m always worried that she’ll die alone you know.” You hit his shoulder at the word making both men to chuckle.
“How could you be so sure? I’m probably seeing someone without you knowing.”
“With that shitty work hours of your? I highly doubt that” He brush you off looking to Juyeon like he was going to spill your most sacred secrets. “She always came back in the morning looking like a mess and didn’t even take a shower. Oh and you know, we normal people drink coffee in the morning, can you guess what he drinks in the morning?.” He lean forward to Juyeon and you pull the back of his neck to make him sit back on his chair.
“What?” Juyeon ask eyes glimmering with pure interest.
“A scotch.” Chanhee cover the side of his face with his palm hiding it away from you and smile smugly right after making you heaved a super long sigh.
“Stop it.” You grip the back of his neck and rock his body left to right while gritting your teeth while he just laughing at you.
“Oh so you two live together?” Juyeon asks.
“Yeah. I feel bad for her.” He said releasing your tight grip from the back of his neck.
“You don’t have to tell him that.” You cut Chanhee off from telling the same thing he always did when you both hanging out with other people.
“What, your boyfriend need to know that.”
“Know what?” Juyeon ask stopping you both from bickering.
“When her parents died, my family couldn’t take her in and she end up growing up in the orphanage.”
“But we still went to the same school and same class.” You said smiling looking at your cousin.
“I think the orphanage was cool you know, they even teach them self defence. You really should see how she flip that guy back in high school who keep picking a fight with me and gosh i feel so safe hanging out with her.” He said rubbing his chest dramatically while juyeon look at you with one eyebrow raised.
“well my skill is gone now since i haven’t been practicing it for years.” You lied again and he just nod.
“But right after high school, we were separated and lost contact just until few years back.” Your cousin said while looking at you like he always did. Look of relieved.
“He still feel bad and force me to live with him.” You look away from him to cut the emotional silence that engulfs.
“But she always away anyway working, working, working. I remember that one time she didn’t show up for two weeks and i couldn’t even reach her.” He start again with his eye roll and scoffs.
“Yeah, my work consist of being in the jungle, with no reception digging the soil and stuff for the artifact. Sometimes the expedition took almost a month.” You reasoned out and Juyeon nod. It was a lie Eric came up with for you to tell Chanhee at first since you’re always away for your mission, and sometime you just like spending your time at the base.
“Whatever. By the way Jiwon already picked a dress for you since you didn’t show up when we did fitting two days ago.” Chanhee said as he took the meat from your bowl and shove it inside his mouth.
“Sorry. I got caught up with work.”
“Figured.” Chanhee said rolling his eyes for the ninth time that night. “You can pick it up this weekend and take Juyeon with you. They really have a nice suit collection there you know.” He said with full enthusiasm
“Sure, we can go check it out. Right Y/N?” Juyeon said making you stop glaring at Chanhee from eating too much of your meat.
“But you already have a suit, the one that you wear on our dinner last time.”
“Ooh you both went on a dinner? Suit? Probably at some expensive restaurant.” Chanhee looking at you teasingly.
“Mind your own business Choi Chanhee.”
“Just go. You’ll be getting a discount you cheap ass. What, does your work doesn’t pay you enough?”
“Fyi, I’m not interesting in investing my money for something that i will wear only once in a lifetime. Such a waste.”
“Whatever. Cheap ass. That’s why you’re single you don’t even dress to impress.”
“Excuse you, what’s wrong with what am i wearing?” you said turning your body facing him and he look at you up and down judgingly.
“No one wears a ugly hoodie on a date Y/N.”
“Shut it. And stop eating my food you dumbass.” You said trying to snatch the chopstick away from his hand while Juyeon just chuckle at the way you and your cousin keep bickering.
“Fine!” He said placing the chopstick right in front of you after eating almost half of your portion and you scoffed at hi annoyingly. “I’ll get going first. Its good to see you Juyeon, I’ll see you at the wedding.”
“Yeah, I’ll see you then.”
“Sorry about him. He’s quite talkative.”
“Its fine.”
“And uh, about the boyfriend thing, can you please play along for a little while. I’m tired hearing his never ending nags about me being single.”
“Sure. But if I may ask,” He paused and you nod waiting for him to finish his words.
“Have you ever dated before?” he asked carefully and you snorts glaring at him.
“I did.” You shrugged. “I’ve dated before, its just that maybe we’re not compatible, and i don’t have much time to spend with him and i think he don’t like that.” You said remembering the guy that Chanhee had hook you up. You really did try your best to make it work, but he just couldn’t understand your work hour and you can’t just come clean about what your actual work is.
“I see.”
“I’m fine though, i think I’ll meet someone when the time is right.”
“True, you really don’t need to rush anything about it.”
“What about you?” You asks
“I was long time ago.” He said smiling down spinning his glass of soju, you lean closer anticipating his next words and when he saw you, he just smile as an exhales escaped his nose and he lean back.
“We met back when I’m still in military school. We went to the same church, i had a massive crush on her and when i found out she had a crush on me too i was delighted.” You could see the glint of happiness in his eyes when he mentioned her, it shine so bright that you had to look away for a brief moment when you felt uneasiness inside your chest before looking back at him.
“When i got deployed, she stayed even if its hard for her to reach me.” Then his smile slowly fades as his eyes wander elsewhere. “She always been there for me even when I couldn’t been there for her. Her graduation day, her birthday and every special occasion.” He stops and stare into the spaces for a little while. But when the silence became unbearable, you force yourself to take a guess, even deep down you know how it ends just by the look on his face.
“she broke up with you?”
“No, I did.” He said as he pressed his lips forming a thin line that forces a smile. But before you could ask why, he shift his gaze to met yours.
“I can’t keep her waiting. Two year is long enough and I don’t want to stop doing what I was doing that time.”
“Did you try to call her when you got back?”
“I did. But I think she changed her number.”
“I’m sorry.” Is all you could say to him because you don’t know how to comfort people when you are so used to be alone. You felt bad for him, but he smiled instead, shaking his head apologetically.
“No, I’m sorry for telling you that. I just don’t know. Its good to finally let it out though.”
“Its fine Juyeon. You can tell me anything you know. We’re friend right?” you said in order to make him smile again. And he did. The smile that you swear you wont get tired by looking at it every second.
“Here.” He said placing a meat into your bowl and the watch that he was wearing caught your attention, you don’t know why but it look really good on his wrist, then you notice how tiny and short the chopstick that he was holding.
“Stop staring at my hand.” He said teasingly and you snorts taking your own chopstick starting to dig on your food.
“By the way, my mom been asking about you.” you soften just at the remembrance of the sweet woman.
“She did?” You asks softly as a smile slowly growing on your face.
“Yeah.”
“How is she?”
“She’s doing great. She been wanting to come over and invite you for dinner again but I was kind of busy since its just two week since I’ve been transferred.”
“I’d like to have a dinner with her soon.” You said with a big smile and Juyeon pouts to your words causing your heart to soars.
“What about me?” He said still pouting and a laugh erupted from you seeing that adorable side of him for the first time.
“We are having dinner now you dummy. We had plenty of it already and I think I gained so much weight because of you.” You said with laughter making him smile and scratch the back of his head.
“You’re beautiful even if you gained some.” He said making your laughter to die down as your stomach flutters by his sudden compliment. He too seems to be taken aback by his own words and bit his lips, the habit that you find so endearing. He cleared his throat and you immediately tear your eyes away from him shoving your food into your mouth. He look away hiding the growing smile seeing how flustered you were.
“How about we take a walk down at Hongdae right after, I haven’t had time to look around since I started right away after moving in.” He suggested after a long awkward silence and you nod, still avoiding his eyes.
“Sure.”
-
“You still mad at me?” Sunwoo asks breaking the silence since the ride from the base until you both started hiking the trail on the hill.
“No.” You huffed eyes trained to the mark on the trees that you had left few days ago while infiltrating the area and doesn’t even bother to look back at him. You’ve been planning to go on this mission by your own since they found dozens of active factory, from small yard factory to a massive one that you are now heading to. All three team had joined hand dividing into a few smaller team to retreat any document that can be used as a evident or maybe an insurance for your divison’s safety until Lt. General figure out how to deal with it if its true that everything is connected to one of the minister.
You slow down when you finally hear the sound of river flowing and as the sound get clearer, you found your last mark on a huge tree, stopping right in front of it. Sunwoo walk past you a few steps but you block his way by stretching your arm without looking away from the tree.
“Watch your step, its a thousand feet drop.” You said nonchalantly before checking on your gear while him being his curious self peeking behind the bush where he saw a cliff that is adjacent right to the top of a tall concrete wall. It will be an easy jump if it wasn't separated by a deep wide gorge with a steep sides.
“How far is that?” Sunwoo asks as he retreats back to where you were.
“three hundred feet.” You said without sparing any look to him that he could only sighed to the cold shoulder you’ve been giving him, he couldn’t even scold you for infiltrating this place without telling him as soon as Eric found it the other day and he almost missed your departure few hour prior if it wasn’t for Changmin who keep nagging at you for going alone. He watch as you climb up to one of the huge tree until you reach the highest spot without moving a single branch and now you’re on higher level than the tall wall which you could see everything inside the wall.
You look through your binocular and saw a few people in full protection suit going in and out the facilities. There were guards too, a few of them rounding the building and then you saw a truck just parked outside the entrance and few men appeared from the back carrying a crate transferring it into the building.
“They’re in the middle of transferring a crate into the building.” You said a soon as you reach the ground startling sunwoo in the process. You were in the middle of putting on your vest when you felt a soft tug from behind you. he adjust the back strap to make it fit perfectly like he always did before spins your body around to face him and adjusts the front strap, stopping only when he realize something is missing.
“You didn’t put on your armor plate.” He said taking it from the his backpack which you knew he always brings an extra for everything. You don’t even know when did he have the time to pack everything up since you only give him ten minutes to take his stuff when he insisted to come with you and let Chan go to the other location with Felix.
“I don’t need that.” You muttered but he ignores you proceeding to take the armor plate and inserts the steel beneath your vest before readjusting the front straps making you grunt.
“Its just the two of us tonight, so we need to be extra careful.” He said now pushing your tied up hair over your shoulder while you still ignores him by checking your own riffles and slings two of it on your both shoulder. You took your hook launcher from your backpack, assembling it in silence as he did too, and when you’re done you stand up walking to the cliff aiming your hook from behind the bush.
“Hey,” Sunwoo pulls your elbow stopping you and your turn your head facing him. “We’re on our own tonight. There wont be any back up since the other is on the same mission in other places.” He said while pulling the cloth on your chin over your nose and he somehow looked anxious, which is rare since he is the one who always been the confident and cocky one. Then it hit you, its true that the division had been a home for you when you're left stranded, but it had been one for each one of them longer than you had been. You feel bad for over reacting the whole week and act like it doesn’t mean anything to them when deep down you know it held the same meaning for them as it did for you.
“We sneak in and out in one piece okay?” he said softly, almost pleading and your gaze soften as a small smile grew on your face.
“Copy that captain.” Then a smile grew on his own face as he pat your head. You took a step forward kneeling one knee taking your aim before launching your hook and it penetrates just inch away from the edge of the wall. You then retreat back to the tree attaching your line to the hidden beam that you had plant making sure the line is tight enough.
“Wait you didn’t tell me the plan yet.”
“I don’t make plans Sunwoo. But if you want one, we do just like you said earlier, we sneak in and out one piece.” You smiled under the cloth looking at him who was giving you a quizzical look. “We take whatever document you found and by the way, Eric told me after the hook penetrates the surfaces, the EMP on its tip will be activated and it’ll disable every electronics and power within the perimeters.” And at the moment you finish your words every light that shine from the factory vanished and the only source of light was from the moon.
“Well, we missed that thirty second mark.” You sighed.
“You’ve been planning to raid this entire place all by yourself?” He said when realization finally hit him. He should’ve figure it out when you force Eric and Haknyeon to keep it from him when you sneak the paper away from the strategy room and infiltrate things by your own. You even bring too much weapon to retreat a document.
“They need a warning and we need documents. They’ll figured about us anyway, lets just scare them a little.” You shrugged angling the device that was attached to your line and you glide across the deep gorge leaving him dumbfounded still processing the whole ordeal before he followed suit.
“Remind me not to put you in charge of anything ever again.”
“Too late cap.”
-
Juyeon zooned out while staring at the small television that was airing a recorded football match while his other team scrambled across the bar, some are flirting with random girls while the other just having fun with their own way. He took a chug of his beer before pushing the empty bottle to the side leaning the middle of his back on the bar as his eyes wanders, deep down hoping that he’ll see your face among the crowd. He turn back facing the bar clasping his hands together scoffing at how he is so used to you being by his side. then the watch he was wearing caught his attention and your clear image appeared inside his mind that cause a smile to creep on his face.
He fished his phone from his pocket and dialled your number then a long sigh escaped his lips when it went straight to mailbox. He place back his phone into his back pocket before leaning forward to the bar calling for the bartender for another bottle of beer. Its the first night aside from the night he went on his mission you weren’t there and he feels somehow. Incomplete.
“You’re not having fun.” Sangyeon leans next to him before sitting on the stool
“Yeah. Haven’t been to any bar for quite some times.” He said chugging his beer eyes still glued to the game.
“Hey that watch. My girlfriend was going to pick that one the other day. Its a limited edition set.” Sangyeon said eyes flickered looking at the watch.
“A fr- Someone gave it to me as a gift.”
“Really? Your girlfriend?” Sangyeon asks and he smiles bashfully. Something that he wish was true instead of just admit it as an excuse or pretending. He somehow wish it was real, you as his girlfriend.
“Juyeon?” He look back when he heard a voice that he just heard recently and saw your cousin approaching him with a smile.
“Chanhee.”
“Its good to see you again.” The man sit on the stool next to him before greeting Sangyeon.
“Where’s Y/N?” Juyeon asks looking around still hoping that he will catch a glimpse of you.
“Oh she’s not with you?” Chanhee asks back with a surprise look before his face turn into annoying one. “Must be soiling up in the jungle. Aish that little shit, she doesn’t even tell her boyfriend.”
“Its fine. She probably forgot.” Juyeon tell him
“she always did that. Next thing you know she’s already home watching tv and drink like a pirate, i don’t even know when does she sleeps.”
“You never call the cops when she’s gone for too long?”
“I did once when she disappeared for two weeks, got a long scolding session later on. So she ended up giving me her office number just in case.”
“Really?” Juyeon smiled with a furrowed brow trying to imagine how would you look when you’re agitated since he only saw the sunny side of you, and it really makes him wonder.
“I know right, she’s weird, that’s why its hard for her to date anyone. You need to have a lot of patience when you’re with her. She really barely been at home. Even now. I really thought dating could change her at least.” Chanhee shakes his head at the thoughts of you while Juyeon just smile at him.
Patience. I’d do it if that what it takes to have you by my side
He silently thoughts. Then he saw Sangyeon spin his stool around as a wide smile appeared on his face. Juyeon then turn around to see the reason of his sudden big smile and when he see it, his smile fades and his heart stops.
“Sihyeon?”
-
“Y/N, Chanhee hyung called while you’re away last night. He said your boyfriend-” Haknyeon stop talking immediately while his eyes grew wider than it usual are at the sight of you reeked in blood and sweats.
“Here you go.” You place your backpack filled with documents on the table and your equipment down.
“We got few of cpu inside my trunk. You should get it by yourself. I’m tired.” You said while running your finger annoyingly through your sticky hair and some sort of soft slimy substance stuck on your finger, probably a piece of organs which you flap your hands virgously to shake it off your finger causing it to fall on the floor. Eric saw what you did and as he saw the piece of organ on the floor, his face turned into pure disgust and he spit out his coffee back into the cup he was holding.
“You blew someone’s body again didn’t you?” He asks walking carefully towards you to take a closer look at the pieces of red lump on your hair and almost all over your body.
“Kind of.” You said nonchalantly still trying to get those thing off your hair.
“You should see her trunk.” Sunwoo added placing his own equipment on the floor looking a little decent than you are.
“Please don’t tell me the detail, i might skip my meal today.” Eric whined.
“Ew what happened to you?” Changmin ask, looking at you with the same face that Eric just made as soon after he came into the room and you turn to him who was still looking clean as a baby before flapping your hands towards him giggling while he retreat back to the weapon room. But before you could come close, he flicks your forehead hard making you scowl.
“Go clean yourself. You’re stink.” You shot him a deadly look rubbing your sore forehead.
“How can you be so clean. You jerk.”
“I’m sticking with the plan, we sneak in and out not doing whatever you are doing.” He shot you a disgusting look up and down before taking one big step away from you.
“I guess captain couldn’t even stop your little party didn’t he?” He look back to Sunwoo who was looking tired and just shrug you both off taking out the document from his own bag.
“Noona, do you really have a boyfriend?” Haknyeon asks making all eyes in the room darted to you, waiting for you to answer the younger one.
“What do you mean?” You asks nervously, trying to fake a laugh.
“Chanhee Hyung said your boyfriend is looking for you and he also ask why you didn’t tell him you whereabouts.”
“I uh.” You stuttered, trying to find any excuse, any brilliant lies. But since you’re too tired to think after approximately seven hour taking down the whole factory. You just sighs
“Its not a big deal.” You shrugged and walks away to the locker room trying to avoid them from questioning you further.
-
You were in your full black usual attire that covers your whole form, not even a strand of hair was shown while following Juyeon the next night after ignoring his texts and calls the whole day. You called Chanhee though and he said;
We bumped in the bar last night and I swear he was just sitting at the bar with his guy friend.
It made you just smiled to his words and it somehow made your heart flutter that you didn’t sleep a blink since your mission last night and even now you were looking at his back smiling under your black full mask wishing that he’ll turn around so you could get a glimpse of his face. But then you shake your head to dismiss the thoughts and focus on following him.
His team separated into a few smaller group checking on a few old abandoned shops to look for where they kept the kidnapped teen girls and sells their ovum without their forcefully for a large sum of money to married couple that couldn’t conceive.
You keep your distance and always alert with your surrounding so that none of his team could see you. Then you heard a gunshot that caused your heart to jump hard and rushed to one of the old restaurant where they were with heart beating as fast as your feet.
“Please, not you.” You pleaded before stopping right on the opening of the back door where you could heard a grunt and a sound of ruckus from inside. You peek into the room and saw someone lying on the floor right in the middle of the kitchen while another was nowhere to be found. You squint your eyes to make out his face with the help of the dimmed light from the moon. A relieved sighs escape when it wasn’t Juyeon who was shot.
You heard another gunshot not far from where you were and run inside after confirming the guy was unconscious running to the door that leads to the dining space with your heart beating so loud and your stomach churns. You peek inside and saw nothing, then you run up to the stairs that leads to the second dining room and you stops right on the door and peeked through the small crack on the vandalized door. As expected, you saw two men standing facing each other in high alert. One holding a gunpoint to the one you recognize it as Juyeon. His life was only one pull away from the trigger and you starting to panic. Your eyes franticly trying to look for anything and trying to came up with a plan. You can’t risk exposing yourself to him but you’re running out of time.
“Fuck this.” You muttered before pulling your mask tighter and barge into the room running towards the man who now has his gun pointed to you. A few shots are fired towards you but you duck a little before crashing his body with your shoulder on his stomach and push him out through the window falling from the second floor his back crashing on top of a sedan while you on top of him.
You felt pain all over your front and stayed on that position until he tries to push you off him. You rolled to his side looking up to the window where you’re from and saw Juyeon looking down to you before running to the back. You need to leave before he got down so you push yourself up and slide down the windshield but when your feet reach the ground with you still clutching your abdomen, a woman appeared in front of you pointing a gun towards you, but she wasn’t wearing the same uniform as Juyeon, she was just in her formal attire. A white button up paired with a slacks and a loose coat. Your eyes then falls to her id that hanged on her neck that falls just right on her middle.
Kim Sihyeon
Detective
You push her hands upwards and she was caught off guard with your sudden movements. You shove her body back while your hand swiftly taking away the gun on her hand emptying the gun before dropping it on the ground. You then took a step forward to attack but someone pulled your full mask away making your long hair to fall freely revealing your face to the woman. She was looking straight into your eyes and the only thing that’s on your mind was;
Kill
You grab her neck with one hand choking her hard and she was struggling with your strength trying to peel your hands away from her neck. You took a step forward pushing her backward while she’s still chokes before you heard a gun cocks and you feel a cold hard metal touching the back of your head. She looked behind you with a pleading look.
“Juyeon.” She called making your heart to drop and your heart beat harder.
“Take your hands off her.” You quirk your head to his tone. It somehow sounds personal that you could feel something dark and twisted emerged from the pit of your stomach as your grip on her neck tightens.
