Love at War - MiChaeng

Spy

"Are you joking right now?" Chaeyoung chuckled, still in disbelief. His chuckle died when Jeongyeon didn't laugh at his reaction. "Why?"

"Jihyo believes that your fit for it. She also trusts you." Jeongyeon held his shoulder. Chaeyoung looked back at Kai and he was gone. He sighed and felt a wave of stress.

"I'm not even qualified for that task though."

"But Jihyo vouched for you." Chaeyoung sighed again and he rubbed his nape. Chaeyoung does love mysteries and solving things. He would always watch spy movies growing up. Hearing that he was going to be one made him nervous.

"Okay." He gave in. "Spy on what? Who?" Jeongyeon removed his hand and smiled.

"It's simple. You're gonna blend in with the public. Try to live a normal life and look for anything suspicious. That means, looking out for North Korean spies." Chaeyoung nodded, crossing his arms and rubbing his chin. "Don't worry, you're not gonna be alone. Two others will join you." So three spies working together. Not bad, it eased Chaeyoung's nerves.

"Alright. If Jihyo believes in me, then I won't let her down." Chaeyoung smiled with determination. Jeongyeon slapped his shoulder.

"That's my boy!" Jeongyeon smiled at him. Chaeyoung felt a slight ache in his heart. Hearing that reminded him of his father. 'He would be proud of me as well.' "I'll let Jihyo know you agreed. Well, it's not like you had a choice." He laughed and gave one last pat on his shoulder and left.

"Guys?" Chaeyoung walked into the dorm. The two weren't on their beds. Chaeyoung furrowed his brows and knocked on the bathroom.

"Occupied!" Dahyun sang and Chaeyoung sighed in relief.

"Where's Tzuyu?" Chaeyoung asked and he heard noises inside the bathroom. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Tzuyu's in here. He just...tripped over nothing." Dahyun sighed and Chaeyoung snorted.

"Well come out, I need to tell you guys something." Chaeyoung sat on the office chair and waited for the two. He waited for almost 5 minutes and the boys came out with clean wet faces.

"Sorry, we had to keep up with our skincare." Tzuyu said and sat on Dahyun's bed, which Dahyun followed.

"So what is it? You got a girlfriend now?" Dahyun wiggled his brows. Chaeyoung rolled his eyes with a smile.

"No. You're eyebrows are gonna stay stuck if you keep doing that." He joked which earned a snort from Tzuyu. "I have a new mission."

"What is it?" They both asked at the same time. Chaeyoung took a deep breath before continuing. He didn't know how his friends would react. Would they be proud? Jealous?

"I'm gonna be a spy for the Japanese." The two looked at him and Dahyun smiled whilst jumping out of the bed.

"Really!? That's so cool!" He came and slapped Chaeyoung's shoulder pretty hard.

"Ow!" He rubbed his shoulder.

"That's really exciting Chaeyoung!" Tzuyu stood up and gave him a smile while ruffling his hair. Chaeyoung smiled at the positive reaction from his friends. "You're gonna have some fun."

"Well, it's sounds very serious but Jihyo trusts me." Chaeyoung smiled at the ground. "I hope you two will be alright. I know you're gonna lack my leadership." He boasted and Tzuyu scoffed.

"I'm the oldest so don't worry tiger! I'll be your shadow." Dahyun rested his arm on his shoulder, posing like a war hero. Chaeyoung could imagine the patriotic music playing in the background.
