BIRDCAGE

TWO

two.

"Hey, Kiera!" Jooyeon called out to me but I ignored him and continued to walk

The brat was so stubborn that he grabbed my arm and made me look at him, "You're bleeding"

The side of my lip was bleeding because of what the boss did. It did hurt but this was nothing, it's like a bite of an insect,"I'm fine"

I was about to turn my back on him but he grabbed my arm again. Seriously, he is getting on my nerves

"Kiera... I want to know you more because I am your partner in crime so..." His eyes sparkled as it stared back into mine, "I want you to remember that I'm always here, you can tell me anything"

There was a long silence. Anyone who would see us right now would've mistook us as a couple who is having a love quarrel

"I'm sorry" my sudden apology made him raise his eyebrows in bewilderment, "I don't go after younger guys"

It seemed like my sentence made him froze in his spot so I made this chance to walk away from him

I know he didn't meant that in a romantic way but it was a way to make him shut up

"W-WHAT!?" He shouted as soon as he had processed what just happened which only made me chuckle. I raised my hands and waved it with my back facing him

"Agent Luna, Great work" everyone smiled at me as they clapped their hands. Yes, Kiera isn't my real name. My real name is Ri Luna and I am working under a secret organization named "Elite"

Elite is an organization that are in every country in this planet which roots out all of the corrupt individuals hiding in the dark and destroy them

Elite isn't working under the government, but for one man only. And that is, "Union will be successfully eliminated." the man in a black suit stood strong in front of everyone

Kim Jong-In or Kai, the founder of Elite. He's the one who found me and basically the one who raised me. Frankly, I owe him a lot. It's not even an exaggeration to say that I owe him my life

I was sent to the Union and worked there for months, It was a long mission since the Union kept on successfully shielding all of our attacks on them, they even knew how to counter my sabotage in their mission so none of it really works

Until the day they gave me their badge, the official badge of the union that represents a worker's never ending loyalty to them. It's like an award for being the most loyal dog. Although it's just a badge that might seem worthless but it is actually made of real gold

That badge will become a gigantic wrecking ball to make Union's empire crumble. The meeting ended with loud applauses for me, "You are all dismissed" everyone started to stretch and exits the meeting room

"Luna" Kai called, now speaking in korean, and I obediently walk closer to him. "Why don't you take a vacation?"

That proposal was out of the blue but it seemed like Kai mistook my everyday face to a tired face. I showed a small smile and shook my head, "I'd have to decl-" I stopped midway of my sentence when Kai showed his unusual smile to me

It was his "Just shut up and accept it" smile, "decl...efinitely! Definitely accept your kind and considerate proposal" I forced a tight smile. I don't usually smile that much but if it's Kai I'm facing, we need to smile in desperate situations.

"Good. Where do you wanna go for your vacation?" He asked as he holds his ipad, probably looking for a vacation spot so that he can book a hotel for me to stay in.
