Strike at 10:45: Agents in Action

*When all preparation was done*

"Alright, everyone, let's go over the plan one more time," Hyunsuk said, addressing the group with a serious tone. "Tomorrow at 10:30 pm, Jihoon, Jeongwoo, and Yongseo will be outside Yang Seomyeon's house in Hongdae with 10 agents. You'll attack Yang at 10:45. Remember, Yoshi, the CCTVs and network need to be offline by 10:25 sharp." Yoshi gave a firm nod.

Hyunsuk continued, "Meanwhile, to create a distraction for YLA agents, Junghwan and Asahi will hit the docks from the north with 15 agents. Junkyu, you'll be positioned 5 km north with a sniper rifle. Yedam and Mashiho will attack the docks from the west at 10:35 with another 15 agents. Haruto, Jaehyuk, and I will be at YLA headquarters with 25 agents. At 10:45, Yoshi, you'll turn off the automatic fire extinguishers. Jaehyuk will start the fire in the ICT lab on floor 13. After securing the file, call Yoshi to turn the extinguishers back on. Doyoung will provide everyone with a shortcut map to YG's base."

"Don't forget, we need to bring Yang Seomyeon to the YG base," Hyunsuk added. "We're going to make him spill the beans on everything."

Everyone nodded in agreement. "Make sure you all get plenty of rest tonight," Jihoon advised with a grin. "Tomorrow's going to be a wild ride—part nightmare, part dream."

*The next day*

*Over to Asahi, Junghwan, Junkyu*

With his gun loaded and ready, Asahi paced the docks, suspiciously eyeing the security cameras. At least ten cameras in every direction made him feel like a contestant on a really intense game show. It was 10:25, and Junghwan was lurking nearby, his sharp knives and even sharper gaze scanning the area. The YLA staff/agents were busy transferring pieces of furniture onto the ships—furniture stuffed with government-unapproved substances, aka drugs.

Asahi glanced to his left, expecting Yedam and Mashiho. They showed up just in time. Asahi grinned. "Hey, sneak attack!" he whispered. Yedam appeared with a smirk. "Didn't know you were into jump scares now."

Asahi chuckled, "Since when did you start participating in battles and fights?"

"I've been practicing," Yedam winked. Junghwan watched from a distance, looking like a proud brother. Yedam waved, and Junghwan gave a subtle wave back.

"Is Junkyu hyung on his way?" Yedam asked.

Asahi nodded. "Yep, he's 5 kilometers out, ready to aim. How's Mashiho handling things alone?"

"You know Mashiho hyung," Yedam said with a smirk. "He could lead a team while juggling flaming swords."

Asahi laughed, "True, he's basically a one-man army. Alright, time to get this show on the road!" Yedam nodded and slipped away silently, proving once again why he was the top spy in YG.

Finally, it was 10:35. Doyoung gave the green light to attack through the earpiece. Asahi charged onto the deck, firing bullets with the precision of a video game pro. "I should have brought my high-score trophy!" he joked over the comms. Junghwan was right beside him, dismantling furniture with the gusto of someone redecorating a room for an extreme makeover.

From the west, Mashiho and his crew stormed in like they were auditioning for an action movie. With guns, knives, and an impressive amount of swagger, they added chaos to the mix. An alarm blared, making it clear that things were getting serious.

Meanwhile, Junkyu was stationed 5 kilometers away, acting like the sniper in a high-stakes hide-and-seek game. "I see you," he murmured, taking out anyone who got too close to his team. "Remember, folks, these bullets are just for fainting—no permanent damage, just a really good nap!" His shots were as accurate as ever, ensuring that everyone was knocked out but no one was actually hurt.

The whole scene looked like a well-choreographed action sequence, only with fewer explosions and more fainting agents.

*Over to Yongseo, Jihoon, Jeongwoo*

Yongseo took a deep breath as she surveyed her ex-boss's mansion. It was like something out of a luxury magazine: a sprawling modern design with a giant backyard and a pool that screamed, "I have way too much money." Right now, everyone was huddled like covert agents in the backyard. Yoshi had informed them that Mr. Yang was supposedly lounging in his bedroom.

As the clock struck 10:45, Jihoon gave Yongseo a thumbs up that said, "It's showtime!" Jeongwoo dashed towards the backdoor like a sprinter at a track meet, and the remaining 10 agents took cover in the backyard like they were practicing for the hide-and-seek Olympics.

Yongseo, Jihoon, and Jeongwoo slipped into the kitchen, which was as quiet as a library during finals week. They crept toward the bedroom door, swung it open, and found...an empty room. "Did he go to the bathroom?" Jeongwoo whispered, peeking into the closet like it was a surprise party.

"He was supposed to be in the bedroom. The tracker says he's still here," Yoshi's voice crackled through the earpiece, sounding mildly annoyed as if he were explaining to his dog why the trash can is off-limits.

Just then, a voice from behind them broke the silence. "I know you've been up to something, Agent K078," it said, dripping with dramatic flair. It was Yang Seomyeon, making a surprise entrance like he was auditioning for a reality TV show.

"Well, well, well," Yongseo said, trying to sound nonchalant while glaring at Yang. "Looks like we've been caught in the act. Hope you've got popcorn because this is about to get interesting!"

Author's Note:

Ah, the thrill of a good heist! Or, in this case, a wonderfully chaotic mission with way too many moving parts and far too many personalities. I can't help but love writing these scenes where everything is planned down to the last second, but then something completely unexpected happens. Let's face it, what's a well-executed plan without a few wrenches thrown into the mix?

Speaking of wrenches, Yang Seomyeon's dramatic entrance? Let me tell you, that was not in the original plan. I mean, this man basically walked in like he owns the place (okay, he technically does, but still). And that little interaction with Yongseo—did you feel the tension? Because, and here's a tiny spoiler... there might be more to their connection than meets the eye. Who knows? (Well, I do, but I'm not spilling the full beans just yet. Let's just say their backstory might shock you... and maybe make you laugh a little too.)

As for the rest of this wild ride, buckle up, because if you think this was chaotic, wait until you see what happens next. Will they succeed in their mission? Will Yang Seomyeon spill the truth? Or... will there be an even bigger twist? Maybe some family drama is brewing—stay tuned! 😏

Until next time, keep an eye on your "relatives"—you never know what kind of secrets they might be hiding!
