"first, how do we get out?" i asked.

"there must be a way out. boss underestimated us. we're secret agents," changkyun sneered.

"there's no window to break out, so what's your bright idea?"

"we're agents. we learned martial arts," changkyun said. "we just gotta fight through them. what do ya say?"

the three of us smirked at each other.

"blair, behind you!"

i kicked the guard in front of me and did a backflip. i swung an uppercut and the other guard fell backward.

"hurry!" jooheon grabbed my hand and we ran out of the agency.

"you still have minhyuk's location, right?" i asked jooheon.

"yeah, let's go!" we ran to the van and and it screeched as we sped off.

"do you think he'd be home?" changkyun asked.

"i'm honestly not sure," i said. "but we have to look for clues."

cars beeped and honked as we raced by.

we soon pulled up in front of minhyuk's house and the door was broken down.

"they've already made it," i muttered.

"it's not too late!" the boys ran in and i followed behind.

we saw some maids unconscious on the floor and some teary-eyed.

"don't worry, we're here to save you guys," i said and ran upstairs. "his room is this way!"

the boys ran after me and we stormed into minhyuk's room.

it was as if time stopped. the three of us stood at the doorway, while minhyuk was being held by his neck and a weapon was appointed at him.

"minhyuk..." i whispered, my throat stinging from holding back tears.

we looked at each other, he looked so frightened.

i'll free you, don't worry.

"drop the weapon!" jooheon yelled.

"and release any backup weapons!" changkyun added.

the agents that boss sent looked at us, wide eyed.

"this is what boss asked of us," one of the agents said.

"and this is what i'm asking of you."

"you guys have no say in this. you're cut off the mission," the agent said.

i cracked my knuckles. "then i guess we're gonna have to battle our way."

i quickly pulled out my laser gun and shot the agent who was holding minhyuk's arm.

minhyuk fell and i yelled, "go find a safe place!"

the boys behind me took out their weapons too.

"it's ten against three," an agent snickered.

"don't forget we're the best out of the agency," i retorted and the battle began.

i ran towards an agent to take their weapon, but instead they shot at me. i quickly dodged it by sliding on the floor and stop up again. i was face to face with the agent.

without wasting a second, i kicked the gun out of his hand and caught it. i aimed and quickly shot the agent.

"watch out!" i heard changkyun yell.

i spun around and a punch was thrown to my face.

"you wanna fight dirty? i'll show you dirty," i tucked the guns into my belt and licked the blood off my lips.

i threw reckless punches at the agent who attacked me. i kicked his stomach, sending him to fly into another agent, and they were both knocked off their feet.

we had half of them down at this point.

"blair!" the boys yelled. i stepped onto their backs. i jumped off them and kicked and agent square in the face.

i saw changkyun about to toss an agent.

"i got you!" i yelled and quickly kicked an agent's back. while he was weak and gis guard was off, i lifted him and threw him into changkyun's target.

they clashed into each other midair.

the three of us panted, finally the agents were taken down.

i saw minhyuk shaking in the corner and i ran towards him.

"a-are you okay? did they hurt you?" i asked frantically.

"m-my mind is all over the place—"

"blair, we have to leave. boss would've sent people to find us by now. let's find somewhere else to go!" jooheon said.

"come," i grabbed minhyuk's hand and the four of us ran to the van.

before leaving, i told all the maids to run out of that place and hide, take whatever they needed.

i shoved minhyuk inside the van and we drove off.

"w-who are you?" minhyuk asked.

"the name's blair," i spit out some blood. "we're secret agents."

"wh—"

"i was ordered to take you down but," i looked away, tears welled up in my eyes. "i grew feelings for you and i couldn't. boss locked us away for not completing this quest. we escaped as soon as possible and came to save you."

"y-you're an agent?"

"jenyer is too."

his eyes widened. "this is unbelievable."

"look, all of our lives are at risk right now. we need to find a way to get our boss to stop trying to kill you," i said. "he didn't listen to me when i explained the truth."

"we'll find a way," jooheon said. "for now, we're heading to suwon and staying there for the night. we'll figure everything out tomorrow," he explained and left to the front where changkyun is.

minhyuk stayed silent, and despite our life or death situation, awkwardness was in the atmosphere.

"w-why did you leave—"

"i'm sorry. i just—it's just that...i thought you were a regular girl. and i didn't want to put your life in danger if you were to be with me," minhyuk said. "i just needed time to take it in. i came back when it was late, and i was planning to sleep on the sofa. but my maids were being attacked by these guys, and the moment i walked in, i was the new target."

"oh..."

"is it true? you were ordered to assassinate me..?"

"yes," i bit my lip. "but i realized how different you were from the stories...and i started to feel like you didn't deserve death. soon enough, feelings started to grow after..."

"after?"

"w-we kissed."

"y-you have feelings for me?" he asked.

"u-uhh..."

he began to chuckle. "cute, i like you too," he pinched my cheek.

i slapped his hand. "yah, don't tease me like that~"

he smirked. "what if i teased you like this instead?"

i was pulled into a kiss.

he's too unpredictable.

"hey, changkyun said he—OH MY POTATOES MY EYES OMG CHANGKYUN THEYRE DOING THE SMOOCHY SMOOCH!"

jooheon screamed like a little girl and dashed out to the front of the van.

minhyuk and i pulled away from our kiss and laughed.

"such a child," i scoffed.
