(A/N): you all wanted this. you're finally getting it.

"Evening, princess." Saeran said after he woke up from a nap enough to notice (Y/N), feeling as if he was in a good mood.

Unfortunately, it seemed (Y/N) was feeling the opposite, because she looked upset and lost in thought.

"(Y/N)?" Saeran called, moving over to where she was in the room. "Are you okay?"

(Y/N) looked up at Saeran and smiled a bit to make his worries go away, "I'm fine but. . ." (Y/N) paused, and trailed off of her sentence, realizing that she trusts Saeran enough to open up. "I'm really worried things with Jumin don't go according to plan, and you don't get to see your brother.."

Saeran frowned. He wasn't the best with words and comforting, like shown in previous times, but he knew that the pain he felt himself was because (Y/N) was upset. He hated seeing her like this. She deserved to be happy.

"Thank you for worrying about me," He said, a smile appearing on his face because even through all of this, (Y/N) is strong enough to worry about him first.

Just like the previous day before, (Y/N) and Saeran got caught up in softly smiling and staring at each other.

Noticing how close they were, Saeran caught butterflies in his stomach, letting his emotions take control.

"(Y/N)-" Saeran said quietly,  grabbing ahold of her hands, which were grasped back, he moved in a little closer, getting caught up in the moment.

He was going in to kiss her. Pausing as his lips were close to (Y/N)'s, he waited to see if it really was okay.

When there was no sign of objection, Saeran and (Y/N) finally locked lips, and shared a light, gentle kiss. Saeran  moved one of his hands to brush her hair away from their faces.

Pulling away, he rested his forehead on hers for a moment, whispering "We will find Luciel. Things will be okay."

When he was properly standing back enough, he noticed the bright blush on (Y/N)'s face, and realized he probably looked the same way, judging by how hot his cheeks burned.

I can't believe I kissed her. Saeran thought, Oh no, what if that was a dumb thing to do?

(Y/N) looked down at the ground, to prevent Saeran from further looking at her face, "Y-yeah..Thanks," She stuttered, trying to control her racing heart, "So, uh, it's about time to go see Jumin's conference, huh?"

Saeran nodded, agreeing for the fact that already it seemed like the end of an adventure when theirs just started. "We can get answers in private when the conference is over, and get some information about Luciel if he reveals any."

"I really just hope this all goes to plan." She sighed in response, standing up and grabbing her bag so she was ready to leave.

"Okay, let's go this one more time. After the press conference, we track down Jumin or Jaehee, and request to talk about Luciel, because we know him and heard the news. We don't tell them who we are because they might suspect we're spies or reporters," Saeran spoke, standing outside of where the press conference was suppose to be held, going over the plan once more with (Y/N).

She nodded, and added on, "But we should tell them who we are if they suspect us either way, because we have to have their trust or they'll never let us see Luciel."

"Jeez, all of this makes it sound like we are spies," Saeran joked, chucking at the end. (Y/N)'s heart skipped a beat at the sound of it and wished she could hear it so much more.

"Yeah yeah," She joked back, laughing herself, "But after that, we get to Luciel and help him as much as we can. Then we talk to them about everything that happened, and get justice for you, and every poor soul Rika has touched."

Saeran smiled at her, "Yeah. That sounds perfect." He smiled even more, knowing that finally, after all these years he could fix things and make it right with his brother.

After sharing a high-five, the two of them headed into the building, going to where the press conference had already started.

Infront of a big room, packed with reporters wanting to get a good scoop, Jumin Han stood, answering questions left and right. Unfortunately, it didn't seem the media cared about Jumin's problems, but rather rumors circulating around him. Many even had dared to ask Jumin things about his father.

This also meant, unlike Saeran and (Y/N) were hoping for, nothing was revealed on Luciel's condition, and they were still left mostly in the dark.

After quite some time, Saeran noticed questions were dying down, and it seemed the conference was going to end soon. He tugged on (Y/N)'s hand, and whispered in her ear, "Let's go to the hallway Jumin and Jaehee will leave from, so that way we can talk to them on their way out."

(Y/N) nodded in agreement at Saeran's plan and together, they shuffled out of the packed room.

As they got to the hallway, (Y/N) could see Jumin was at the near exit of the floor building, so she called out and ran over to Jumin with Saeran, "Mr Jumin! Please wait, I need to speak with you!"

Hearing his name called, Jumin paused on leaving to talk to the lady approaching him, "I'm sorry," He apologized, "I don't have time to answer anymore questions. Of you would like to schedule an interview, please go through my assistant-"

"No, no! That's not it! It's about uhm," She paused, suddenly being hit the realization that she was meeting this cat-loving business man who she talked to in a chatroom, but was so nervous meeting him face to face, even when he didn't know who she was. "It's about Luciel Choi, sir. He's. . .A good friend and I'd like to know more about his condition. The man with me also knows him."

Jumin's eyes widened, taken aback by these sudden people claiming to know Luciel. On one side, he wanted to talk to them about him, but on the other side, he knew that people could be vicious,  and Luciel had a very dangerous work place where he could make enemies easily.

Being one that doesn't trust easily, Jaehee spoke up and politely denied their request, "Mr. Choi cannot accept vistors unless they are family or organization members. I apologize."

(Y/N) frowned, sad that things might not go the right way, and sadder over the fact she could see Saeran become visibly distressed at the thought of not Saeran not being able to see Luciel, and she spoke before thinking, "But Jaehee!-"

". . How do you know my name?"
