A Collison of the Stalker and her Target

"Must we really wear this?"

"It's to blend in with the crowd."

"I quite like it though. This suit makes me feel rich."

"This top hat makes me look like the guy from Monopoly."

All three agents looked to their Chief and let out a string of laughter.

They were currently in preparation to attend Prince Vincenzo's 23rd Birthday Party bash. Dressing up in the wardrobe that the Queen had personally picked out for tonight, they were ordered to blend in with the crowd and keep an eye out for any impending dangers. They were told as well to keep a distance from their assigned Royals and keep watch of them from afar.

"So, Chayoung." Agent S, also known as Hanseo, approached his best friend who was still struggling to get used to her outfit. "Are you excited to meet the man you've been stalking in secret for the past few days?"

"I wasn't stalking him." Chayoung said through gritted teeth as she readjusted the tight fitting cloth that had gathered around her waist. "I was tasked to follow him."

"It's the same thing."

"It's not when you get paid a lump sum of money for it." She walked towards the body length mirror to check herself out. The Queen had chosen for her such a chic A-line cut black dress. It had a slit up her left thigh and a sweetheart neckline. She had her hair straightened and tucked neatly behind her ears, making her overall appearance look extra elegant and classy. "How am I suppose to run in this?"

"You're planning to run tonight?"

"With my assigned Royal being the notorious Prince Vincenzo, I'm pretty sure that he'll make me run tonight."

"Oh yes," Hanseo chuckled. "He does like to run away from Royal events."

Chayoung sighed in relieve after she managed to readjust the dress to her comfort.

Looking again at the mirror, she actually found herself to look rather flattering in the dress. It outlined her body shape well and complimented her deep dark brown shaded hair. It's been awhile since she dressed up for an event. Usually, she would be in her secret agent suit which consisted of cargo pants and long sleeved turtle neck tops. If she was lucky, someday the outfit came with cute leather jacket.

Now that she's in a beautiful dress, she realized how much she has missed playing dress up.

"Alright agents, please gather.

It's game time."

"This is so boring." Vincenzo whispered to his older brother who was standing infront of him.

On his 23rd Birthday Bash, Vincenzo had to greet Prime Ministers, Government Officials, Dukes and Duchesses and many more authoritative figures of the Country of Geumga. From the moment he stepped into the room, all he did was to exchange handshakes with people he had no recollection of. He had to act as if he appreciated their presence at his party and occasionally threw in a few sets of fake laughs here and there to make things more vibrant and lively.

Naturally, he got worn out from the energy draining 'birthday activities' and sourced for a place to rest. So he did what he does best at these events and that is to hide behind his older brother who was excellent at entertaining people.

As the couple Valentino was talking to left, he turned to his little brother who was hiding behind him. "Mom and Dad are bound to be looking for you in a few minutes' time."

"That's why I'm thinking of a way to get out of here."

"Vin, this is your birthday party!" Valentino hissed at his little brother. "If Mom and Dad finds out that you're gone, they're going to cancel not only your card but your lifetime too."

"Do you expect me to stay in this soul sucking event?" Vincenzo retorted back. "I'm dying here Val."

"Could you at least run off after the cake cutting so it's not too obvious? If you stay until the cake cutting, I promise I'll cover for you."

Vincenzo looked at his big brother with a sulky frown on his face. Valentino knew Vincenzo couldn't say no to that tempting offer. Their parents would only excuse Vincenzo's nonsensical escapes, only if Valentino had a say in it. "God, alright. Only until the cake cutting though and then I'm out."

"Thank you."

Chayoung wandered around the party mindlessly, admiring the Palace and the Party that was currently in full blast. Everyone looked stunning. They were dressed in riches and complimented the grand interior of the Palace's ballroom really well.

She scanned her eyes through the hall, trying to pick out the Royal Family. Easily, she managed to identify the King and Queen. They were talking to a bunch of people, happily and humbly greeting all of the guest with a smile on their face.

They looked like the perfect couple.

It took her some time to spot the pair of brothers though. Only because she wasn't too familiar with the elder one and the younger one was crouched behind him, hiding from the crowd. They seemed to be bickering before the younger one stood up from behind and stood next to his older brother with a grumpy frown on his face.

Oh just how many nights Chayoung has spent living her life as Agent T to keep this younger one out of trouble.

His face sometimes haunts Chayoung in her sleep, making her sleep talk orders and commands to no one in her room. He really has been a great contributor to the migraines and nightmares Chayoung has been suffering from lately.

"Rooster to chicks." Chayoung heard Chief Q's voice in her earbud. "Updates please starting from eldest chick to mid chick to baby chick. Come in."

"Eldest chick to Rooster, coast is clear. Over."

"Mid Chick to Rooster, coast is clear here too. Over."

"Baby Chick to Rooster, coast is clear here too. Over and out."

Chayoung placed her empty glass of champagne on the tray of the waiter who was passing by, nodding in appreciation to him. She looked back to where the two brothers stood and noticed that the younger one has disappeared.

"Shit."

Chayoung was about to go off on her stiletto heels to search for him when she found herself colliding into a 5'8 tall man. Due to the sudden need to pause and jerk on her footsteps, she unfortunately had to hold on to him to avoid herself from falling over. Looking up, she cursed at the fact that it had to be him out of all people who caught her by surprise.

"Ah, now it's starting to feel like my birthday party."
