Mask of devil in disguise

"Have you found any clues?"
"Not yet"
"Sir, it's been 5 minutes, but still we are not able to understand what happened to our network"
"Seriously, who hacked our system!!"
"It seems like they want access to our system and get their hands on something useful to later blackmail us"
"Damn it!!"

The headquarters of NIS seems to be under huge pressure. It's been 6 minutes since a mysterious thing hacked their network, and all the screens are blank.

All the employees are doomed. Finding ways to get back their network, they are scattered all around like tiny pieces of sugar sprinkled over a pancake.

"When did this happen?"

The ace agent asked his senior, but he was left with no answer. His senior sighed, running fingers over his hair.

"Good grief! What's happening in Seoul?"

His senior said while showing his annoyance. Agent Min, just simply stared at him and looked back at the panicked scenario.

Today's surely a bad day. He didn't believe in superstition, but just after his work colleague looked at his Chinese calendar and sulked in annoyance after finding the letter
坏运 (huài yùn)*.

His day also started going downhill. The culprit, whom he had captured during his small previous mission, had committed suicide. After briefly discarding that body, he nearly got into an accident with a drunken driver.

He is okay, except for the pain in his ankle. And now, this. This chaos. He rolled his eyes. This isn't even his job, but still, he is held back by his senior.

In the midst of all this, suddenly the large screen turned on with a buzz sound. The screen glitched for a few seconds, after which a mask was shown.

Everyone stood frozen.
It was not an ordinary mask.
It was that mask.
The mask of the devil in disguise.
Mask of the genuine, who was, till now, never found.

The graphics mask smirk.

["Hello, it's JK here"]

Oh. Now, to think about it, he should definitely buy a Chinese calendar.

"What are you here?"

Her eyes shifted from one person to another. The people outside shared a glance.

"W-we-"
"Sorry, but things are over between us"

She said and pulled the door back, but was stopped by them.

"W-wait y/n. We want to tell you something-"
"I'm not in the mood to hear your something"
"Please, please listen to us"
"Jungkook is about to do something which he shouldn't"
Taehyung: Yeah. We can't tell you the details, but please stop him.

She stood frozen for a second, but then she chuckled, and that's what turned into a laugh. It was not a cheerful one; it was mocking, but something was hidden in her mocking laugh, fury? Annoyance? Agony?

Y/n: Seriously? What am I? His play toy and your pursuer?
Jimin: No, y/n he didn't... (Words got stuck midway through his throat. Basically, he couldn't defend his friend. He didn't mean to hurt you, he-
Y/n: THEN WHY IS HE DOING THIS?!? STOP DEFENDING THAT JERK! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT HE DID?! YOU THINK HE CHANGED, BUT HE NEVER! HE IS STILL THAT FUCKING-

Taehyung: stop it y/n!!! Do you even know why he did that?! The Jungkook I knew had changed a lot. He became selfless. He got soft. He changed. You changed him. He is chasing this change. And he will do anything for the change you have given him. And that's also terrifying.

She stood flabbergasted. What?. Before she could say anything, the news on TV stole the spotlight. It was a discussion between two news reporters.

"It's an open suicide"
"He shouldn't do this"
"He walked into a lion's den"
"Do you think Agent Min would be able to fight against the devil in disguise?"

Agent Min?
Her brother, Min?

He is an agent
He ought to take a risk.
But

The memories of that night flash in front of my eyes. Her father, patting. And her brother was lying on the floor. Blood rushed down his head. That's.

What if it happens again? She doesn't care what great achievement he had as an agent, but the thought of losing him again after that loss.

It's terrifying.

"We are now near the area of the red zone, and unfortunately, we are not able to get any information regarding what is happening inside, but seeing the rush of police officers, it seems like we are in trouble"

Her breath hitched.
Her heartbeat stopped for a second.
No
No
Not again.

She shoved two men aside and ran out of the house.

This time, she won't stay quiet.
She found him after ages.
She can't lose him now.
After losing him.
