1 - The Mission

y/n pov

     'Agent y/l/n, could you come with me?' I looked up when I heard Mr Moon's voice calling for me.

I stood up straight 'yes sir'. All the other agents stared at me as I was leaving the training area. We were training in different martial arts. It was one of my favourite subjects and since I wasn't actively on a mission, I joined all the classes.

It was rare that Mr Moon himself came to ask for an agent to have a conversation with him. I followed him quietly as we made our way to his office. Mr Moon was the head of our spy organization and in a way, the most respected agent around.

We entered his office and he nudged the chair opposite of his desk 'please sit down' and without question I did.

He was fumbling with his hands, which was striking to me because he..... well he was Mr Moon and I got in a way nervous by his anxious gestures.

After a few moments, he exhaled deeply and looked straight in my eyes.

     'As you might have read in all the newspapers, the prince of Busan will join university this year.'

He waited for a few moments, to make sure if I had read that. I nodded, remembering reading something about it. As a spy it was kind of part of your job to stay informed about what was happening in the world. And therefore it was part of my daily routine to read the newspaper.

    'Yes I am aware, he will be majoring in Broadcasting and Entertainment, if I remember correctly?'

     'Yes exactly.' it seemed like he was hesitating to speak, 'the king has hired us to send someone as.. let's say protection. So that someone will start studying along with him and will be his neighbor as well. It is to make sure that the prince is safe at all times.'

He paused for a moment, and looked at me if I had something to say. When I said nothing, he continued,

     'We have selected you for that mission.'

I was astonished. I thought he would ask me for maybe an opinion on an agent that could be selected for this. But this? What the hell is this situation? I was definitely overqualified for such a passive and easy mission.

     'Sir, with all due respect, I am a top performing agent here. I should be going on bigger missions like tailing thieves and sources but here you are, asking me to babysit a prince? a twenty two year old prince?'

I said it in the way that I was feeling; full of frustration.

     'That's exactly what I am asking.'

     'But why? Did I do something wrong?' I then asked. I was so angry that he visibly flinched at the tone of my voice.

Calm down y/n, before you lose your permanent job over babysitting a prince.

He sighed 'No you didn't y/n. The thing is they specifically requested for a girl. The king seems fairly certain that the prince won't suspect any girls around him to work as some sort of bodyguard for his father.'

I stared at him, dumbfounded. He awkwardly smiled and added with a nervous chuckle,

     'And you already know how few girls get into this line of career and you are indeed the best. and the royal house is paying us greatly for the best.'

     'Why particularly a girl? that's sexist?' I asked, crossing my arms in annoyance. Mr Moon smiled a bit.

    'True, but the king apparently made a deal with his son to let him have these three years to get his degree without any interference from them; which means no bodyguards as well. The prince wants to live like a normal person and not a royalty.. '
