Finding you (Sequel to secretive)

Chapter 10: Find the Flaw

Somewhere else, a man was currently decoding a note.

This agency had been tricky for sure, but he would figure it out.

And from accross the room, Kim Chaewon was watching him.

And she was worried.

Of course, when you were a spy like her, being kidnapped wasn't totally unusual. 

What she was taught to do is

A) Never give up any important information

B) Find the flaw

Of course, humans aren't perfect. Anyone who's planning a kidnapping could mess something small up, and Chaewon had been trained to jump on the first sign of weakness to escape.

A weakness could be a rope that Chaewon could untie, a lock she could pick, a bargaining chip she could use on her kidnapper, anything.

But, the problem was she hadn't been able to find anything.

The door to her room was locked, and there was no handle on her end, and the gap under the door wasn't big enough for her to do anything. The only window was to the main room, where the person that had presumably kidnapped her sat sometimes. Chaewon had to assume that her troop was split up in rooms in a circular way, because there were doors that were probably similar to hers everywhere in the room. Chaewon had hoped that meant she could see through the window, but investigation proved that it wasn't a window, but a one-way mirror. She could see the reflection of the main room where Yujin's window probably was (she knew it was Yujin because there had been some very loud yelling when she first got there)

The benefit of the one-way mirror was that she could try to gather information. Obviously, there was a security camera in her room, but that was just to make sure she wasn't escaping.

She knew that their kidnappers, this WT, whoever they were, had been leading her agency on a treasure hunt. She had been decoding their messages and trying to find another meaning behind them. But so far, she'd gotten nothing.

Or, she had until today.

Chaewon was anxious to see what the message back would say. Hopefully something that tricked some information out of them, while also hopefully saying something that would convince them to let the girls go.

But then, when she saw the note, it brought back a memory.

"I have two handwritings" Wonyoung said proudly.

"Wonyoung, you literally have the neatest handwriting ever. Why would you need another one?"  Yuri asked.

"Well," Wonyoung explained "My natural handwriting is neat or whatever. But it still looks like it's not being written by an adult. So people don't take it seriously"

"And..." Yena prompted.

"So I looked at the way a bunch of adults write. And this handwriting is my 'adult' handwriting. If people don't know that I'm still in High School, they may actually take me seriously"

She took out a pen and paper and wrote 'Jo Yuri is annoying'

"Hey!" Yuri said. 

Of course, changing handwritings was normal for spies. And Chaewon spent so much time trying to convince herself that she was overthinking things.

But she couldn't deny that that was definitely Wonyoung's adult handwriting.

Which made her wonder...

What if the notes that he was writing weren't going to her agency at all?

What if they were going to her friends?!

The thought of getting Minju mixed up in this again made her feel sick.

But even through her nervousness, Chaewon couldn't help but wonder if this was the flaw to her kidnapping?

No ropes, no pickable locks, no bargaining chip...

But the wrong target?

Minju has been able to save you before. So has Chaeyeon. Chaewon reminded herself.

So what if they could really do this?

But still, Chaewon had to worry

What if they couldn't make it out?
