Rose & Sun, Lee Haechan [DISCONTINUED]

O22

Again that day, Jangmi was told to have a lunch with Donghyuck's friends including Doyoung and Jungwoo. Blaming herself for not texting both Felix and Hyunjin, now she's all alone stuck with nine fine men in the painfully crowded cafeteria. She wasn't having it, being the center of attention did make her sick in stomach.

"Jangmi, your fried rice is going to be cold." Jaehyun softly woke her up from her daydream, resulting her to jolt as a response. Jungwoo suddenly put some slices of Korean meat into her plate-his action was clear enough to tell that he's trying to steal her attention.

"Next time you should learn how to ask your friends about their business," Jungwoo softly warned, trying to search her eyes that weren't focusing on anything. Jangmi nodded, taking the chopsticks and stuffing the rice into her mouth.

Calm, the table was the calmest it has ever been since everyone was immersed in their thoughts, gadgets, food which is unusually normal. "Why are you guys so quiet? It's scary," Donghyuck broke the calmness which getting silenced by the eldest.

"Another chaebol got arrested, this morning and he's a father of a student in our campus." Taeil blurted out. Thus, the three agents widened their eyes, trying to read each other's eyes in the in the midst of the silent chaos. While the other seven male-they coughed-shifted uncomfortably trying to get rid of this type of situations.

"The cops suspected another hacker? What does it mean?" Doyoung naturally acting all innocent, though the agents can search for the causes later but he was just eager to know everything right at that moment, innocently pointing at Taeil's screen.

Taeil tilted his head, a nervous breath puffed out from his lips. He knew no one knows about his youngest friend's identity but seeing his other friends looking uneasy made him want to escape the awkward moment. Three of them-the secret agents-are still fresh and new so revealing Donghyuck's job could appal them to death.

"I guess it must be hacker's job though, look at the listed name. The polices are tired, searching for the culprit is challenging." Jangmi agreed, no intention to trigger Donghyuck or anyone. But she already did-secretly and silently.

"I guess we should stop. What if the chaebol's child heard our conversations? Poor them."

Johnny saved the situation, gaining a I'm-so-glad-you're-here look from the hacker. One thing bothers his mind, he wasn't helping anyone in hacking nor taking a revenge over someone at the moment. Who could it be?

"Yah, Lee Donghyuck! Stop covering your ears with your clouds of thoughts."

The called one looked up, meeting his current favorite person's eyes. "Let's go anywhere after the classes done. Your brothers are going to be busy with clubs and whatever the seniors activities."

"Wait, is Mark going to be busy too?"

"Yea, Hyuck. Sorry," he grinned and that completely ruined Donghyuck's mood. Poor boy just wanted to clear his mind for only today before he continues to ruin people's lives here and there. The youngest rolled his eyes, nodded as he finish the milk in his hand.

"Lunch time's done, let's go back to our class. See y'all later, fools!" Yuta screeched, dragging Doyoung and Taeyong into their own classroom. Johnny laughed, throwing his arm around Jaehyun's shoulder.

"Is Yuta always like that? He seems so scary when I first saw him," The short girl chuckled, adoring Yuta's endearing hidden charms with his pretty smile written all over his flawless face.

"Don't be fooled, he can bite."

"What? Nonsense, Donghyuck." Jangmi jokingly pushed the latter's face with her finger. As a retribution, he tickled her all way into the classroom.

"Hyuck, we are supposed to go to the computer room!"

"Oh yea, I forgot!"

All eyes glued on them, but they couldn't care less. The girl was almost lost in his charms, though her mind is still sticking to the main point of her existence at this place.

"Father,"

"If it's about Donghyuck again, then don't talk to me."

He let out a sigh, feet anxiously tapping the floor repetitively, nails peeling another nails. He was anxious, he was scared, he was terrified.

"The chaebol, he got arrested."

At once, the father hung up the business call. The son's eyes, it looked genuine and sincere. He finally did it? He thought for the past 5 hours since the news came out spreading all over Korea it was Donghyuck's fault.

The thing is, his son did.

"What the fuck, son? Are you being serious?"

"Father, I know it's been awhile. I hope you won't be mad at me-"

"You are doing a masterpiece! Everyone's going to praise you!" The father let out an enormous laugh, trembling in joy as he spread his arms to give the only son a tight hug.

All the time-ever since he was born-why it has to be Lee Donghyuck? When there was him all along seeing each other growing up and going through life together?

Donghyuck, the Korea's pride. Fullsun, the famous secret hacker who had been around the society since years ago. He thinks he should start seeing his falldown. He won't let him be on the top, he would love to see him break down once again-whether it has to deal with life and death-he doesn't care.

"As long as I'm alive, I will surpass him."

"Remember, he's the part of your blood too,"

"We'll just see, father."
