dancing with our hands tied (by purplemango445 )

realization

She was slurping her noodles while trying to pay attention to what Agent Ga was saying.

But her fist was bruised and throbbing.

She probably shouldn't have punched Agent Huk as hard as she did.

She's sure that the Yung officials would have a stern conversation with her about punching a fellow agent outside of training purposes soon.

But at the same time, she couldn't find it in herself to regret her decision.

Agent Huk was being a complete asshole. Bringing up Agent So's parents was a low blow, and she wouldn't allow it.

She had accidentally called him her husband when really their marriage was just for the mission.

But it scared the shit out of Agent Huk, so she didn't correct herself.

Agent So noticed the redness of her knuckles and looked at her in concern.

She shook her head in warning and focused back on Agent Ga.

"So, we've looked through all the audio clips and were able to gather a few important confessions that will put them in jail for a few years, but we need more substantial information." Agent Ga explained.

"What do we need to do?" Agent So asked.

"Just try to get some more information out of them, or locations of where they are transporting more drugs. We can try to see if the police could check them out. Don't try sneaking any recording devices though, it's too risky." Agent Ga explained.

Both Agent Do and Agent So nodded at that.

"Has he started to put his trust in you both?" Agent Chu questioned.

"Mr. Han still seems a bit reluctant, but I think he does trust us." Agent Do replied while finishing off her noodles.

"Well, we'll start sending this information to the analysis team and see what they think. Come back and let us know how the meeting goes. Be careful." Agent Ga stated as he started heading toward Yung's office.

Agent Na followed closely behind before giving Agent So and Agent Do a thumbs-up for good luck.

Agent Chu was still sitting there and glanced at Agent Do with exasperation.

"Give me your hand, Hana. What the hell did you do to get these bruises?" She exclaimed while carefully looking at the marks.

Agent So let out a snort of laughter at that.

Agent Chu shifted her glare to him, effectively shutting him up.

"You know, just regular stuff." Agent Do said nonchalantly.

If Agent Chu knew what had actually happened, she was sure that she would get a lecture and perhaps be maimed.

Agent Chu let go of the hand she was examining and walked over to where Agent So was standing.

Despite being shorter than him, she stared him down and he relented.

"Fine, she punched an agent in the library. To be fair, he was an asshole and deserved it." Agent So replied immediately.

Agent Do audibly let out a groan of annoyance at that.

"You really can't withstand Agent Chu? I'm guessing you'd immediately confess secrets if you were tortured." She said with an eye roll.

"You doubt me, Agent Do. I can withstand very well under torture, but Agent Chu is not a woman I want to mess with." He replied with a grin.

"You'll have to deal with me now." She whispered, but he caught her statement.
