HELP! My Wife is a SPY [JENLISA X CHAESOO X MOONSUN X MINYEON]

44

Early the next morning, Jennie headed towards the hutongs again to meet with Moonbyul. But, just as she reached the beginning of one of the alleyways, she smelled some chestnuts being roasted on the side of the street.

The smell felt oddly nostalgic...even though she barely bought roasted chestnuts.

As Jennie closed her eyes to breathe in the warm fragrance, she suddenly felt a a shiver down her spine. It was meant to be Spring, but an icy breeze suddenly brushed past her nose.

She opened her eyes in confusion.

As she looked around, she was shocked to find that the floor was covered...in snow! One moment ago, it was still a warm spring day, where did this snow come from?

She then realized that her t-shirt and jeans was now covered in a thick down jacket, she had a scarf around her neck and a beanie on her head. She rubbed her hands together, desperately trying to warm them up. "I forgot my gloves," she said.

Jennie was surprised by her own voice for a minute. It had been roughly a week since she last heard this voice. It was Sara's. She had almost forgotten that she still had Sara's memories in her mind since nothing had triggered them for a while.

"Wait here, I'll be right back," a man's voice said beside her.

She then watched as a man ran across the road and stood in front of a little stall with a huge wok of chestnuts being roasted on a fire. She couldn't see the man's face, but from the back, he looked oddly familiar.

After a few minutes, the man handed some money to the stall owner and received a bag of roasted chestnuts. As he turned around, she saw a warm smile. The smile released a swarm of butterflies in her stomach and she suddenly felt a little hot.

Jennie recognized the man. It was her handler, Moonbyul. The smile on his face; Jennie had yet to see him smile so happily. He always seemed so serious. Was it because he was still upset from Sara's death?

As the man walked towards her, she felt her heart race. She could tell from the look on Moonbyul's face that he loved Sara...a lot!

Moonbyul placed the bag of hot roasted chestnuts in her hands and said gently, "Here, this will keep you warm." Her heart melted. As she looked down at the roasted chestnuts, she suddenly felt the urge to kiss the man.

Stretching her neck, she began to lean forward. The man realized what was happening, so he quickly wrapped his arms around her waist. Just as their lips were about to touch...

"Beep!"

A beep from a car brought Jennie back to reality.

Jennie fanned herself a little. These memories were getting quite vivid.

At that moment, she heard an old man call out, "Chestnuts! Roasted chestnuts! 1900 Won for 500g."

Jennie smiled and went to buy a bag.

...

Meanwhile, not too far away, inside a luxurious apartment, Lisa was preparing himself for the next day.

The other night, when he first saw Jennie at the club, he had dragged her out without saying goodbye to Niran's henchman. Luckily, the man was so occupied with the fake goldigger he met, that he didn't mind. But, he did slip Lisa a napkin as he walked past.

The word 'วันศุกร์' was written on it. "Friday," Lisa whispered to himself. Tomorrow was Friday...

Was the man finally introducing him to Niran tomorrow?

Niran was like the ultimate client for Lisa. Like a Boss in a video game that he had been working hard to reach.

Ever since he arrived in Seoul, Marcus was Lisa's biggest client. They had first met in Marseille about 5 years ago, when Lisa was just a mere underling for one of Thailand's biggest criminals.

At that time, Lisa simply helped the man manage his inventory of weapons. The first time he met Marcus, Marcus had flown all the way from Seoul to meet with Lisa's boss and Lisa's boss asked him to help interpret. Obviously, Marcus didn't know Thai and Lisa's boss didn't know Korean.

In the end, Marcus developed a fondness of Lisa and they became good friends. Every time Marcus visited Thailand, Lisa would meet with him and show him around when he wasn't busy with business.

So, when Lisa's boss died at the end of last year and he decided to return to Seoul, Marcus immediately offered to help. He even helped him build his reputation when Lisa mentioned that he wanted to work with Niran, a famous criminal from Thailand.

If not for Marcus, Lisa wouldn't have gotten to Niran so quickly.

Yet, this friend died...right in front of his eyes...

That night, he had indeed remained in the club after Marcus left. Afterwards, he sat in a quiet corner and watched as Jennie worked, making sure she was safe.

But, half an hour before she finished work, he suddenly received a phone call, "Lisa, are you still at the club? I'm heading back there now. I've got some important information in my hands, but I think I'm being followed..."
