It was only yesterday that I last saw V but I already miss him. I miss the way he shuffles away from me when he's shy, his low voice. Are we close enough for me to think like this? I feel my cheeks flush and I stop thinking about him. I have a job to do.

I decide to fill out a report for Mr.Ryu. I can't tell him much, but it would be good to let him know that I'm alive and well.

March 7th, 2016

Classified as "V".

Age and background unconfirmed.

Received letter two days ago, meaning unknown.

That's all I want to write. I submit through an email and that's that.

••••••••••

"Thanks."

I sit at the small dining table with a warm cup of tea that V prepared for me. I had come along this morning, after debating last night whether or not to visit. I ended up at his door at 9am.

The silence was intense. I didn't realize that not seeing each other for 3 days would make the situation so awkward. I decided to break the ice by asking the question that has been bugging me for countless hours.

"Is it ok if I ask what you had to do last time? That letter, I mean." I ask, nervously.

V pauses while pouring himself a cup of tea.

"Work. My boss doesn't like technology. Says hackers are capable of anything." He replies, then resumes making his hot beverage.

Doesn't like technology, huh? I make a mental note to save for later.

"What do you do for a living? Just out of curiosity." I take a sip of the tea. Its an orange raspberry tea. There's so many surprises from V that I never expected.

"Its hard to explain. I prefer not to talk about it. Its not very flashy. You?"

"Just a normal office job. Really boring. There's this guy that keeps hitting on me, but honestly, I'm not interested. I'd rather stay single than date him, regardless of the fact that he's a nice guy." I blush. Who am I to ramble on about Seokjin?

"Sorry, that's a bit too much of me." I say, then drink the tea again.

"Its ok. We're both full of secrets. I mean, if I'm not wrong." V brings the cup to his nose, just so he can smell a bit of the tea before drinking it.

"Why do you smell coffee or tea before drinking it?" I ask.

"Its calming. I like it." V says.

"Then maybe I should try it. I'm rather stressed out these days." I sigh, thinking about my assignment. I recall Mr.Ryu, saying that I'm his best detective. Don't blow your cover, Seoyeon.

"If....if you're stressed or upset you can always come visit me. I don't mind." V says quietly, leaning against the kitchen counter.
