dancing with our hands tied

counter-intelligence

She was still mad at him.

Even if he wasn't an agent, she was clearly proving it with her expression and body movements.

Agent Do was barely looking at him and her mouth was firmly set in a straight line.

Her posture was tight and professional, the way she was when she first met him.

He knew he shouldn't have blown up on her.

He knew she was trying to protect the people she cared about most.

He needed to control his emotions if he wanted to stay on this mission.

When Wigen called him back with Agent Do to tell them they had to follow through with Mr. Han's request, he couldn't help but feel a stab at his heart.

Was he betraying his parents by helping them? Even if it was to stop them and make them pay at the end?

He felt bad for yelling at the Yung officials but before he could apologize Wigen waved him off with a small smile.

Wigen was used to his temperamental behavior. She was the one who helped him focus and avoid his emotions blowing up.

With a smile back, he walked out with Agent Do.

They took a taxi to the warehouse that Mr. Han told them held all the drugs ready for transportation.

According to Mr. Han, they were supposed to meet with Mr. Han's team and make sure the delivery process went smoothly.

Agent Do quickly held his hand and plastered a smile on her face as they walked into the warehouse.

The warehouse was large with thousands of boxes being packaged and shipped on delivery trucks. There seemed to be hundreds of workers, but there was a group of men in suits standing in the corner.

They headed in the direction of the men without a second thought.

"Hello, I'm Ms. Kim and this is my husband, Mr. Cho. We were told to come here by Mr. Han. I believe you have a task for us?" Agent Do asked confidently.

The man at the front turned with a skeptical gaze at them both.

"Do you have any identification?" The man asked.

Agent Do and Agent So both pulled out their IDs and showed them to the man.

With a nod in confirmation, he led them to the tiny office found in the corner of the warehouse.

"We had a mole recently who gave the police a lead. They are planning on arriving here tonight to oversee the package delivery and finally catch us out. We moved the delivery early but just in case we need you to stay as the watch." The man said with a smirk.

Agent So couldn't help but feel his anger rush up again, but he pushed it back down.

"Of course. Would you mind if I talk to my husband for a minute?" Agent Do asked kindly as she squeezed his hand.

The man fell victim to Agent Do's unfortunately charming smile and agreed immediately.

He knew he was in trouble with the way she stared at him.

"So it seems Mr. Han set us up." Agent Do said annoyed.

"Were you surprised, love? He seems like the type." Agent So replied with a nonchalant tone.

"Would you try to take this seriously?" She said with her arms crossed in anger.

"I'm so serious." Agent So said with a cheeky grin.

Agent Do just glared in response.

"Ok, what's the plan then?" He questioned with an eyebrow raised.

"We'll just have to be bodyguards then. We might need disguises though." She said.
