Playing With Fire || Maeda Riku

002

"Wait... what?"

Riku was taken aback by what Taeyeon had just said to them.

Riku was going to be partners with the daughter of THE Lee Taeyong? He wasn't so sure if Taeyong would agree to that now.

"If you don't believe me"

Taeyeon opened a drawer in her desk and pulled out a small tape recorder. Setting it in front of the two she pressed the play button.

Earlier that day

Taeyong entered Taeyeon's office and sat down, waiting for her to speak first.

"Do you know why I asked for your company here today Taeyong?"

Taeyeon finally started and Taeyong shook his head.

"No, but I'd like to assume it's important"

Taeyeon nodded and she smiled warmly towards Taeyong.

"It's about YunHa... don't you think it's about time she has a partner? Like you and Jaehyun or you and Leeyah?"

Taeyong sighed and sat back in his seat. Weighing his options he finally nodded.

"You want her to become acquainted with one of the new NCT members?"

Taeyeon nodded and slid a file in Taeyong's direction

"What's this?"

Taeyong asked as he picked the file up and looked at Taeyeon.

"Open it up"

Taeyong opened the file and saw a picture of a boy.

"Riku?"

Taeyong asked as he scanned over his information.

"He's a cool kid... tends to get things done ever since he came to Korea... Ten kinds of just picked him and a few others up off the streets of Japan last time we were there"

Taeyeon nodded and she motioned for Taeyong to set the file down which he did.

"YunHa and Riku are but just a little less than two weeks apart in age"

Taeyong nodded unsurely and he finally gave in, agreeing it would be good for YunHa to have some male interaction, even though it was the same way he and Z became lovers.

Present time

"I already have something for you two to do"

YunHa and Riku stopped spacing out at last and focused their attention on what Taeyeon was about to tell them.

"It's time to show everyone what we can do... it took a lot of planning and I think you two are best fit for this"

Taeyeon cleared her throat and she leaned forward toward the two.

"For a long time... we have been deceived by what we thought to be family and I no longer will tolerate it... stealing from our vaults, selling the Æ, replicating the NCT Technology, and making it into a Super M project"

The two nodded as they continued to listen.

"Well... There's something other there... something powerful that is very similar to the NCT Technology... that is... well... that is GG Version 1.0"

"What is GG Version 1.0?"

Riku asked and Taeyeon gave her head a little nod.

"It's a built-up from-the-ground system meant to find us criminals"

"How will we find it?"

YunHa asked as she finally looked up at Taeyeon.

"It won't be so simple, I have yet to uncover that part... for now... I need you guys to infiltrate a street race, someone broke into AleXa's shop while she wasn't present and stole the pink diamond my SM agents worked so hard to get. Get in there, identify the buyer, and return the diamond unharmed to AleXa, remember, failure is not an option agents"

The two nodded and got up and left Taeyeon's office or well at least tried.

"And one more thing"

YunHa turned her head back to Taeyeon.

"If the diamond is lost, do everything you can... don't give up"

YunHa nodded and exited Taeyeon's office with Riku next to her.

"So..."

Riku chuckled nervously.

"You do this often?"

YunHa shook her head as she pushed the button for the elevator.

"I usually don't do missions at all... I'm usually the errand girl or paperwork girl"

She said as she stepped inside the elevator. Riku stepped in after and pushed the button for the ground floor.

"That sucks, maybe we'll have fun with this mission"

"Maybe"

YunHa responded with and sat in the elevator with Riku in silence for a few minutes before she spoke up again.

"I'll see what car Ten will let me take"

Riku nodded and looked out to the view coming down.

"I have a plan"

YunHa looked over at Riku, waiting for him to speak.

"So... we get there, we split up to see who and what we can find but of course I'd assume we would have to go see AleXa first"

YunHa nodded and she sighed.

"From what I understand... that diamond was very difficult to get in the first place... so we'd need guidance on where to start... that's where Somi comes in"

Soon the elevator dinged and opened and the two walked out and headed back to NCT HQ.
