Then And Now | Kris & Key

[s-agent-kris]

Kris glared silently at the other for a spilt second before pulling him towards an empty table in the corner. “Yes I know I deserve it, I left everyone and everything without even a goodbye. But I’m here now so be grateful for that. Christ that kick hurt Kibum!” He lifted his leg slightly and massaged his bruised shin. Kris looked up, taking in all the details that had or hadn’t changed about Kibum’s face. The only major difference was that his face looked older, more mature, it was a face that had seen things. “I say that I have changed, I’m here and I wasn’t before. But you might not understand, seeing as you’re still into manicures as much as you were before. The dive never stops being one”. He knew he shouldn’t have said that, knew it might piss Key off but he couldn’t help it. Key was one of the people he envied, wanted to have what they had sometimes. It seemed like Key hardly did anything and yet he was top of the rank, the best of the best. 

Kris lifted up his hand to indicate for a waiter, once it came he asked for a coffee and french toast. Once completed with his order he looked over at Key. “Going to have the usual Key? Still eat and drink the same substances?”. 

[seoulagent-key-blog]

"Well, it did mean to hurt you." Key said when they were settled in one of the empty tables in the restaurant, sitting face to face. And of course he was grateful, although he wouldn't admit it out loud. Seeing Kris again brought back old memories, the time when he hadn't even meet his teammates.

Clicking his tongue, he rolled his eyes at the older man. "Yeah, whatever you say then. And why do you say it like manicure's a bad thing?" he glared slightly at Kris. He knew it too, people never stay the same; like Key wasn't Kibum anymore, but Kris didn't have to know about that. There were things to be left untold, maybe it would anyway, but later perhaps. But about the change Kris told him he had, his physical maybe didn't take a lot of parts in that. All in all, he still the handsome guy he met years ago; well yes, the maturity had taken the most place. Except for the freakishly tall figure he had now, he was definitely taller than Minho and Key didn't even want to think about that further.

"Pancake and coffee. Black, please." Key said to the waiter ignoring the male across the table, just because. He shrugged, "why would I change that." He did never trying another breakfast, maybe a little change now and then but he enjoyed his morning with pancake and coffee the most. "Anyway," Key started, sending Kris a glance. "Where were you all this time?"

There You Are | Minho & Key

[agent-minho-deactivated20140223]

Minho gave a chuckle and hugged the blond haired, shorter male, patting his back when the other came over and hugged the male again. The brunette really missed the male, he had no one to make fun of and he always had fun teasing the blond around (even though he gets hit most of the time he does so). Minho gave a small smile when the other welcomed him back.

Key stepped back and Minho watched his eyes look down at the bags at the floor near his feet, “Well duh, Kibum…” he commented, a teasing tone in his voice, “I don’t carry loads and loads of bags for fun you know?” he said with a small teasing smirk to match his voice.

Minho was about to say that it was alright; however, Kibum beat him to it carrying some of the bags. He gave a sigh and leaned down to get the remaining bags (which were only like two of them), “Are you sure Kibum?” he asked, seeing that the shorter male carrying most of the bags, “Uhh… yea…” he commented.

The male was slightly glad that he and Kibum shared a dorm (though the third person… Myungsoo was never there. And so it always seemed at he and the blond lived there alone, which he didn’t mind).

[seoulagent-key-blog]

"Shut up." Key hissed, piercing his eyes to Minho once he recognized the teasing tone he was using. Thankfully his hands were busy grabbing the shopping bags, the hit would be waiting for now. Shrugging slightly, he lifted the bags at ease. "Who knows you have different kind of exercise to build your biceps now." 

In all honesty, Key would surely manage more bag than he had already handled; years of training you could say. But he let Minho took some, for some reasons. "I'm sure. This is nothing you know." Key said, flashing a smirk to the taller male. Probably he should sometimes take Minho out to shopping so he wouldn't question this ability of his anymore. 

Key hit the button and waited until the door opened. He led the way and stopped in front of Minho's room. It was his room too, if the higher-ups decided not to change his dorm, and most likely wouldn't anyway; they simply didn't have much time worrying over a dorm assignment. "Are you keeping the room clean?" he asked -half joking, half worrying- before stepping aside to let Minho open the door.

Encounter with Darkness || Taemin and Key

Taemin stared at his reflection in the bathroom and smirked. “What has this kid been doing? I look so … innocent.” He shrugged and left the bathroom and decided to go out and eat, he didn’t know about the other Taemin but he was really hungry. Just as he made it down to the cafeteria place, two ladies didn’t see him and ran straight into him, causing them to spill their drinks on his jacket. They gasped and apologized but got really scared when Taemin gave them a very dark look. “Yah … don’t you two have eyes?” Taemin said and rolled his eyes, “Apologizing isn’t going to do anything. My jacket is ruined now, what are you two planing to do about that huh?!” He took off his and threw it on the ground in front of the two. The old Taemin wouldn’t care but he wasn’t the old Taemin, he was the new and improved, he wasn’t about to get walked over on like he always did.

Just as he was about to walk away someone approached him. ‘Ah, Kim Kibum … what fun this will be …’ Taemin said in his head and smirked.

[seoulagent-key-blog]

Key strolled down the path to the cafeteria as fast as he could manage while his eyes were focused on the papers in his hands. Scanning the detail of every page of the papers and seeing the surroundings in the corner of his eyes so he wouldn't bump into people or wall. It was a stupid thing to do, he knew, but he couldn't help it when his stomach was rumbling like there was no tomorrow while his work was piling up. Thus, he decided that working while eating would be the best option. He just needed to finish looking through these papers anyway. If he was lucky and fast enough, he might have finished it before he get to the cafeteria without bumping on something.

All the while, he sent a quick glance to his surroundings only to stopped in his track. The papers went forgotten for a while. Key stared. It was definitely Taemin. He didn't quite sure at first seeing that the person who looked like Taemin just threw a jacket after yelling at girls, but perhaps it was just the product of his mind combined with his hungry stomach after all. He approached the younger, hoping to get a company for the meal.

"Hey Tae. How are you?" Key asked, immediately wrapping his arms around the other's slim figure as a reflex.

Recall | Onew & Key

[agent-jinki-blog]

Onew woke up to an annoying ringing that was beside him. It was his alarm clock telling him to wake up and work. He silenced it before getting up and taking a quick shower. After that, he made his way to his office. Since he lost his memories and all, it was hard for him to figure out what to do but his boss told him that there should be people to tell him what to do. As soon as he reached his office there was indeed someone telling him what to do. He was even more confused when the was told to send some documents down to the weaponry lab. Onew was told to give it to the person called Key or something along that line. The name sounded familiar but he could seem to remember, what else is new.

He managed to find his way to the lab or office and looked around. There were no one there, by the looks of it. “Did I make a wrong turn?” Onew asked himself. That was when he finally noticed someone standing a few feet away. ‘That guy called my name … is he another person I forgot?’

[seoulagent-key-blog]

Key stared, his eyes never leaving the figure while he made his way towards him, avoided the desk and chair by memories. Now that he stood right in front of the man, he couldn't be more flabbergasted. He knew his mouth was hanging open and his eyes kept blinking like he was waiting the figure to evaporate and eventually gone. 

His hand flew to touch the other's arm and hell, it felt real. Of course it's real, what was I thinking?! he mentally facepalm. But it didn't convince him yet, thus he raised his hand and gently slap the other's shoulder, then poked the other's cheek. "Onew hyung, this is really you!" he half shrieked before literally throwing his body towards the guy, instantly wrapping his arms around him. "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell us?" He pulled back slightly to examine Onew's face. It didn't change much, except for the expression he was wearing. It was somehow strange and peculiar to Key's memories about his hyung. "Anything's wrong, hyung?" he asked once he stopped hugging the older man.

Odd Hours || Key and Luna

[agent-luna-deactivated20130613]

“Oh, I see,” Luna said, following the male to his desk where a single phone sat waiting to be picked up by its owner. It honestly didn’t surprise the girl to see Key. They’ve been running in to each other more and more frequently that the idea that it was all planned didn’t seem too far a stretch from reality. She really wasn’t sure why Key would plan their meetings, but she also didn’t mind.

Luna couldn’t help but let out a yawn and watched as the male picked up his phone. She was tired but she didn’t want to leave her oppa just yet and she didn’t really have much to do tomorrow. Since her mother’s passing, she’s been wanting someone to talk to but all she did was work. It was her first instinct for anything. Feeling happy? Work. Sad? Work. Frustrated? Work. Work, work, work. She was an unintentional workaholic really but has been all her life. She didn’t like the feeling of leaving something incomplete so she always worked to make sure everything was finished and neat.

Looking up at the other, she smiled, “Well, since you’re up. Wanna grab coffee? I don’t have a reason to wake up early tomorrow… Unless you do, Oppa. Then we can always go another time.” It was probably her sleep deprived self talking, but she didn’t really care. It was an excuse to talk to Key so she used it. Luna wasn’t really sure how well she thought it through though, because it seemed unlikely that a coffee shop would still be open at this hour.

[seoulagent-key-blog]

Picking up his phone on the desk, he turned to find the girl tailing behind him. Key didn't sure himself how many times exactly that he had been doing this pathetic attempt just to see the girl, and talk to her, and perhaps have a coffee with her. And why exactly he couldn't do the same in a broad daylight at a reasonable hour, he sometimes still questioned himself. The fact that the whole coincidence meeting thing was something really obvious and there was no way in hell Luna wouldn't at least caught on to it just made him felt more and more pathetic. But he turned a blind eye on it anyway, keeping this routine went on and on. 

He looked down on the girl's face, finding the trace of tiredness and.. was it loneliness? Key couldn't be sure of it, so he shrugged it off. It was the tiredness he was concerned in. However, the smile Luna gave him brought a smile to his own face. He nodded -a little too eagerly- when the offer of coffee came up, that was exactly what he had in mind after all. "Of course. Yeah, same for me. Don't have much to do anyway. Let's go then, look like you need the coffee more than I do." he said before bringing his hand on Luna's back and gently pushed her toward so she could walk first. 

"So, do you have any particular place in mind?" Key asked once the elevator box went down with them in it. Just in case the blonde girl had somewhere she wanted to be, he always had that question asked. But if it was negative, Key always had a plan.

[seoulagent-key-blog]

Um...

So, Seungri is really gonna go. Well, of course. It's an honor.

Decode || Key & Jessica

Only the clucking of her heels against the ground could be heard accompanying her heavy breathing as Jessica strolled down the empty corridor of the basement, feeling much more alert than she had in the day despite the late hour, her arms hugging the bag of green bottles closer to her chest with every step that would take her to the shooting range where she and Key had arranged to meet at for a practice session. It was intended as more of a friendly hangout that they had managed to fish out of their busy schedules - at least up till this morning, it still was. The both of them weren’t exactly fans of soju, but she figured that at some point tonight, he could use some alcohol. It wasn’t as if Key had the most glamourous drunken antics to speak of, on the contrary, the boy could get pretty loud when he was drunk, but she figured that temporary anesthesia had to be better than none at all. The file that she had smuggled out of the human resources office now concealed in her leather satchel weighed tons, not because of its actual physical weight, but the implicit information that it withholds.

Swallowing the lump forming in her throat as she caught sight of him inspecting his weapon, she set her bags down on the bench beside his belongings and walked up to him, managing a small smile as he looked up and made eye contact with her. “Kibum ah,” she called affectionately, throwing her arms over his shoulders to pull him into a hug, “It feels like years since I last saw you even though technically we work together. Did you not miss your noona?” She was giving herself away on purpose by calling her dongsaeng by his real name, and not the names that they had as agents - she only called him Kibum when she had serious matters to talk about and she was hoping that he would catch it; she couldn’t bring herself to break the ice, and neither had she any idea where to start. 

She’d caught onto the idea that he was pretty much estranged from his family, but she had attributed it to personality clashes. People don’t get along with family all the time. Somehow when he told her that they ‘weren’t around anymore’, Jessica had taken the liberty to eradicate the possibility that they were dead; all of them.

[seoulagent-key-blog]

The gun was a failure. Key knew it the moment he landed eyes on it. Examining it this close just proving his argument right. But like the good senior he was, he abided by a decision to help the new-recruit with their work. So here he was, at the shooting range, late at night, planning on testing every single weapon that he had brought as well as fulfilling his practice session with Jessica. But seeing the deserted room, Key knew he must be early or the girl was late. Whichever it was, he didn’t really care. 

It wasn’t for long though, when the sound of her heels caught in his ears. He didn’t look up just yet, simply too absorb on whatever he found interesting on the weapon in his hand. It was yet another failure in his eyes, but who knew, maybe it could be a deadly weapon potential, either because Key had the false judgment or it was simply too failed as it was dangerous. 

“Kibum ah,” he heard the girl called out to him right when their eyes met and his brows furrowed instantly. It had been quite a long time since he didn’t hear that particular name being called on him. Well, he had changed his name for a purpose of course. And now that he heard it again, something must have been on, especially when it came from Jessica. Setting the weapon on the bench beside him, he let himself be pulled into a hug. “You’re being weird. The last time we met up was less than a month ago… perhaps?” he didn’t sure either, so he decided to return the hug. “Whatever. I miss you.”

The green bottles in the bag didn’t go overlooked by Key. So he raised an eyebrow to Jessica, pointing the bag. “Are you planning on something, Jess noona?” he asked sarcastically, because in fact he did know something had happened. It showed as clear as Jessica’s pathetic attempt to lure him in the situation. Out of all people he knew, Jessica was the person who had put up with him the longest. Even when he was still Kim Kibum, she had already there. So, there was no need for an explanation, he could read through her quiet easily. There must be something. She wouldn’t call him Kibum for teasing, she wouldn’t bring the soju for nothing. Thus Key decided to save her the starter. “Just tell me already, noona.”

Then And Now | Kris & Key

[s-agent-kris]

Kris shouted a curse at the door that had closed in his face. Sheesh women these day! He finished buttoning up his shirt and pulled his belt through the loops of his jeans. He hissed at the closed door, okay so maybe he might have insulted her love making but it wasn’t all that great and Kris only wanted to give her tips and at least tell hes about the problems she was making. He was only trying to help! Like really! Rolling his eyes he started walking down the street and would have kept going if his stomach hadn’t at that moment to rumble like a thunderstorm. He looked up and spotted a restaurant. Perfect that should fill him up. 

Once there he was being led to a table when a man shorter than him bumped into him making him stumble and almost land in the pot plant right next to him. Rightening himself he quickly turned around at the man who was now apologizing. “No it’s okay it could happen to an…” he had to blink a couple of times to make sure he wasn’t dreaming. “Key…is..is that really you? Wow it’s been a long time that’s for sure. We sho…” before he could continue he was being attacked! “YAH! WHY ARE YOU HITTING ME!! OKAY IM SORRY I LEFT BUT SPOT IT! I’VE ALREADY BEEN HARASSED BY EVERYONE!” Poking to the other in the forehead he couldn’t help but smile a little. “You haven’t changed at all!”. 

[seoulagent-key-blog]

He locked eyes with the other guy. And the familiarity came crashing down on him when those eyes he was looking in blinked a couple of times. He didn't even blink in order to convince himself that his mind wasn't playing a trick on his eyes. The process completed faster than he had expected, all thanks to the taller male who actually said his name, proving that he indeed the one who he thought he was. And before he confused himself more, he had to do something. And attacking the guy he did. 

"Yah! Where had you been all this time?!" a punch to his chest. "Don't you know I was worried?!" another punch to his arm. "WHY ARE YOU SO TALL?!" a kick to his shin. Wherever it landed, Key didn't really care, all that matter was he punched him. And kicked him.

Key didn't react anymore when his forehead was being poked. He simply stood there, piercing his glare to the tall guy, and breathed heavily. "You deserve it." he said, crossing his arms on his chest. He was aware that he just made a commotion in the restaurant, and he was sure people had been staring. But he was Key, and Key has never given any of his thoughts for things like that.  "And who says you've changed, Kris?"

Let's head out for a cup of coffee.

[agent-jonghyun-deactivated20151]

Wow, I didn’t think you were that easy but sure, let’s go shopping after this. I need to buy Yoona her clothes anyways.

I'm not really in the mood of sulking right now so.. yeah. I decided to take this chance to use your money instead, hyung.

Recall | Onew & Key

Having an office at the basement level could be confusing at times, because obviously you couldn't see whether it was morning or night, sunset or sunrise, by simply looking out of the windows. It was easy for you to lose in time, especially where you had been working on something you were really excited about. And yeah, Key would agree with that since he was currently in the position.

That was why when he lifted his head and looked at the clock on the wall, he even surprised himself. He wasn't a workaholic by any means and he working through break time wasn't really his style either. Did Jonghyun talked to him earlier? He didn't even remember. But he couldn't help but being more surprised when his eyes traveled down the clock and to someone who had been standing right below it. All thoughts about his work immediately went out of the window before even he started blinking his eyes in disbelief in case it betrayed him."Onew hyung?"

[agent-jonghyun-deactivated20151]

Let's head out for a cup of coffee.

[agent-jonghyun-deactivated20151]

What? Am I not entitled to judge people? It’s just a little mistake, please forgive your hyung.

[seoulagent-key-blog]

Oh well, if my hyung can buy me some new expensive clothes, maybe he will be forgiven?

[agent-jonghyun-deactivated20151]

Let's head out for a cup of coffee.

[agent-jonghyun-deactivated20151]

Aw come on, you’re spoiling the mood. Fine, you take a bite, after all I bought it to share with you. Nothing much, I guess I can’t judge books by it’s cover….

[seoulagent-key-blog]

  Alright then. I don't know what you had been thinking about me, but I agree on that. Out of all people, I'm quite disappointed that you would misjudge me like that, hyung.

Then And Now | Kris & Key

Stepping out of the building, Key looked up to the sky only to block the blinding rays of sunlight with his hand just a moment later. He let out an audible sigh, attracting some passers by who threw their eyes on him curiously. He didn't care though.

He made his way down the street, trying not to be irritated by the nice weather upon him. He kept on walking until he realized the sole purpose he had stepped out of the building that day. Stopping on his track, he took a moment to comprehend his surroundings until his eyes landed on a restaurant. 

There was no need for a useless thing like second thought at the time. His mood was simply too down to even read the name of the restaurant before coming in and immediately asking for a table to the waiter. And while he was following the waiter to get to the table, it happened in a blink of eyes: the waitress was walking rather fast, somebody's order on her hand, Key was in her way, thus he quickly jumped out of her way only to bump into someone.

Whether the person fell down or not, Key turned on his heels and apologize. "I'm sorry, it's my bad." 

[agent-jonghyun-deactivated20151]

Let's head out for a cup of coffee.

[agent-jonghyun-deactivated20151]

How do you not stop talking about bagels? How disappointing of you, Key. I thought out of everyone in the team, you would have kissed a guy by now. Guess our little maknae placed first in that then.

[seoulagent-key-blog]

Easy, you put that thing in your mouth and chew it, rather than talking about it. Excuse me, how am I disappointing without kissing a guy? If I want, I could have done it a long time ago.
