☆Tokyo Debunker☆ [imagine]

A case for "2" (MC x Romeo)

(this is a request as a sequel for the first part by @Raraayecihuy once again, seriously love the requests. Sorry this took soooo longgg to write, i had a lack of ideas for the longest time. Is that called a writer's block?)

[Warnings: strong languages used. Also, i took inspo from a Kdrama/webtoon called Connect]

Romeo raised a brow at the new documents you had given him, then he looked at you.

"The Chancellor has another mission for us?"

And you nodded earnestly.

"That requires us to be an undercover couple, again?"

He couldn't believe it, the Chancellor was just playing games with the two of you right now.

Romeo scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief,
"That's two missions in a row this month. Furthermore, with you?"
He gave you a look.

"Apparently,"
You replied,
"Okay, if you don't want to, I'll go ask Rits-"

"I never said i wouldn't do it,"
He cleared his throat, making the line of henchmen in his room whisper to each other.

Romeo glared at them,
"Why are all of you still here?"

Taking the hint, his lackeys made their way out of the room in obedience.

The pretty ghoul sighed,
"As long as i don't have to wear anymore sloppy outfits,"

"I don't think you have to,"
You responded,
"Actually, this time, it's quite the opposite,"

You pointed at the bottom left of the page,
"It's a formal event, an exhibition i think,"

Romeo stared at the name,
"Cuerpos...Never heard of it,"

"Neither have i, but this is only their second event ever so it makes sense."
You stated,
"The reports say some people disappeared after the first event, and their traces were completely erased."

"Oh don't tell me it's another one of those gambling anomalies..."
Romeo rolled his eyes.

"Hopefully not..."

With that, Romeo frowned.
It was going to be a headache.

"On the bright side, the dress code is dressy casual,"
You smiled, knowing that it might be something that could sooth the creases on the ghoul's forehead.

------------------------☆---------------------------

The crease now appeared on your forehead as you looked through the clothes you had in your closet.

There was nothing but uniforms and that one prom dress gifted to you by Jin for the ball.

It didn't look quite fitting for the occasion but it was better than nothing.

But when you showed Romeo the picture during lunch at his office, he broke into a laugh,
"Absolutely not. You look like you're about to celebrate your sixth birthday."

"I don't have a choice,"
You huffed in annoyance.

"Who said you didn't?"
Romeo snapped his fingers and two men pushed out a closet of the most extravagant outfits you had ever laid your eyes upon.

"I knew you wouldn't have anything for the occasion,"
Romeo said,
"Choose whichever. I already narrowed down the finest options and i have an outfit to match whichever you pick."

Your jaws dropped at the range of gorgeous dresses and suits.
"Why'd you go this far for a mission?"

The question caught him off guard
Why did he go so far for the mission?
