Japan turned out to be a long, grueling 7 months for the Choi girls. Personally recruited by one of Japan's most notorious Yakuza leaders meant they had to be ready for just about anything at any time, as they both were important pieces to the gang's leader Hiroko Adami.
For this mission, he would have the girls constantly by his side posing as his foreign lovers whenever he went to discuss business with the leader of his rival gang. The two groups established that their meetings would be peaceful; no weapons, no backup men or guards in the room with them, and no one involved was to discuss the topics covered in the meetings outside of those four walls.
But Hiroko was no fool.
This deal had a lot riding on it.
Hiroko owned and operated several of the country's most luxurious hotels, clubs, and art galleries. While they all seemed to operate as successful legitimate businesses, in actuality they were fronts for the incredibly lucrative international trade of illegal goods.
This deal in particular would forge an alliance with his long-time rival, to gain protection from the prefecture's newly elected governor, who just so happens to be said rival's brother. If this deal goes through according to plan, Hiroko will be able to operate his businesses without the threat of being busted by the National Police Agency, by paying a simple "anonymous donation" every four years. With the governor in his pocket, not only would the truth of his side businesses be kept under the radar he would also be benefitting from other perks like tax breaks, legal protection, and first choice at new properties for business expansion.
Knowing how these kinds of meetings usually go, and the fact this meeting would be with someone he already had a longstanding feud with, he decided to take some extra precautions. He immediately contacted the academies in Korea, requesting for them to send over some Japanese agents to blend in on the mission, and specifically asked for the Choi girls by name since they are the best the academies have to offer, and as foreigners, they will be perfect for a very important part of his plan. Originally deciding to let the girls choose if they wanted to take the mission, after hearing about the hefty payout, the academy leaders obliged right away without much of an argument.
Having those two by his side meant the man he was meeting with, Daizen Taramoto, would be too blinded by their obvious beauty, and seemingly aloof personalities, to realize that they were just as deadly as any member of Hiroko's own gang, if not worse.
The two groups arranged to meet monthly to discuss the terms of the contract, in a way that would benefit both of them in the long run. However, because of the never-ending cold war, these meetings held such high tension that could pop off at any moment.
With Rina being fluent in Japanese, a highly skilled assassin, and having studied business strategy and management, Mr. Adami was adamant about keeping her by his side at all times. Usually sitting quietly in the back of the room was Choi Yura. Though she doesn't speak the language, Hiroko knew she was the best guard to keep close by. With their American features, no one would ever suspect what they knew or what they could do. The others were always floating around, keeping an eye out in the lobby or stationed outside the doors of the office, ready to join in at a moment's notice.
In between meetings the girls would train and go on smaller missions with Hiroko's men. Because of the nature of the mission, they had to stay on Mr. Adami's property, and on the few occasions they were able to leave, they had to be accompanied either by his men or by him. On top of that, all of the Korean agents were being housed together in one of Mr.Adami's large penthouses within the city. There they each were able to have a bit of their own space, with private bedrooms, though they were rarely home, to begin with.
