DEUXIÉME CHOIX

"Haneul," the tall man dressed in all black suit called.

The girl turned her head, looking at her superior with her usual blank look. She fixed her long trench coat, standing up to walk towards him. 

"You will be assigned to do this next mission. Find out what this means first, then report back to me once you're done." He said, handing her an old cassette.

Haneul pursed her lips, nodding her head once. She then proceeds to turn her body around, exiting the room. The sound of her heels echoed in the small and dark hall. She's just wearing her usual attire; her long, black coat reached past her knees along with white dress shirt. 

Today is just another day of misery. The same old place, same people, same feeling lingering inside her. She works in the Noir Mafia, also known as 'the Grim'. She has been working there ever since she was fifteen years old. She never really has a proper home. She grew up in the orphanage before her superior, Wonwoo recruited her. Now, she's one of the highest ranking members in the mafia.

She took out the old cassette Wonwoo gave her, putting it inside the cassette player. Although she's very skeptic about it because the cassette must at least be 20 years old judging by the printed logo on it.

She pressed play, waiting for it to play. She sighed, tapping her nails on the table impatiently. Just when she was about to get annoyed, a loud noise from the cassette can be heard; a conversation between two men.

"Assassinate her. She's going to be a pest once she's grown up. She's just like her mother, such a nuisance."

"But sir, wouldn't it be too obvious if we assassinate her?"

"I don't care! We must kill that baby right here, right now."

"Sir, if the mafia finds out—"

"They won't, just kill her. After all, she's the daughter of—"

The cassette cut off just before the man could finish his sentence. Haneul took the cassette out again, flipping it with her fingers.

She exited the room not long after that, returning back to Wonwoo's office. She knocked on the door before entering his office. 

"Oh, you're back already?"

"Yes boss. I already know what's this all about." She simply stated.

Wonwoo's monotone face turned into a wicked smile. "Enlighten me."

"I know you set this all up to test me, boss. Unless the recording wouldn't stop right before the most crucial information. But what I do get from this recording is that first, it was recorded at least 20 years ago, judging from the brand of the cassette and the serial number," she explained.

Wonwoo leaned back on his chair, she never fails to delight him with her wittiness and sharp-minded mind.

"Second, the two men in this video is most-likely the people from the government. They were told to hold a baby in captive but the other man initiated to kill the baby instead, probably because he knew the parents of this baby."

"Why'd you think so?"

"That's the third one, boss. Third, I know who's the baby they're talking about,"

Wonwoo cocked an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue her statement.

Haneul smiled, looking at him with her usual sharp eyes. "It's me."

The most incredible and sharp-witted member of the Noir Mafia, Jung Haneul.
