The Agency || SUJU Eunhyuk

Chapter Five

I'm currently sitting in the tech room with Kyuhyun, Heechul and Shindong. We are still trying to find where Yunho and his friends could be hiding. I tap my fingers on the table as I try to think of all the places he use to hang out that could possibly help us find him. Every address that I have suggested to search have been a dead end for us.

It's midnight and I glance around to everyone else. Shindong is currently asleep, Kyuhyun is struggling to stay away and Heechul has completely given up for today because he's now playing a game. I take a deep breath in and stretch. I stand up and say goodbye to Heechul and Kyuhyun.

"Are you going to walk home right now?" Kyuhyun yawns.

"Yeah."

"It's too dangerous to do that," Heechul says. "Just stay here for tonight and go home in the morning."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. The couches are comfortable and it won't be a bother either." Kyuhyun stretches and gets out of his chair. He walks over to me and smiles. "I'll set up the couch for you."

"Thank you."

I follow Kyuhyun out to the living room and watch as he sets up my bed for tonight — I tried to help him but he told me to stop. Kyuhyun looks to me. "Do you want to change into something more comfortable?"

"No, I'll be fine."

On cue, Kiran and Jayeon strolls into the living room and glances at Kyuhyun and I. A smile spreads across their faces as they come over to us. "Are you spending the night?" They wonder.

"Yes."

They begin to jump around like teenage girls. "We should have a sleepover out in the living room then," Kiran suggests.

"That seems like a great idea! What do you think Unnie?" Jayeon stares at me.

"Okay," I agree.

"Do you need some pajamas?" Kiran wonders. "You can borrow a pair of mine."

"Thank you." I bow to her.

The two girls hook their arms with mine and we begin to head down to Kiran's room to fetch a pair of pajamas for me. Jayeon and I stand by the door as Kiran finds a pair of pajamas. We can hear the conversation between her and Leeteuk.

"Is Byunghee spending the night?"

"Yeah, so the three girls are going to have a sleepover in the living room."

"I'm glad you two are being really nice to Byunghee."

"Unnie is rather quiet, but she isn't mean. I like her."

"Unnie?"

"Byunghee is older than me."

"Right." Leeteuk snaps.

The brunette walks out with a pair of pajamas for me and several other things. Next stop is Jayeon's and Sungmin's room, which is also home to Siwon because he's room is currently under some repairs and the married couple drew the shortest straw. Jayeon grabs somethings and then we head back to the living room.

I go to the closest bathroom and get changed into the pajamas Kiran handed to me. I stare at myself in the mirror and decide to take off my mask since I'm about to go to bed. I go back out to the other girls and sit down on the couch that Kyuhyun made into a bed for me.

"Unnie," Kiran calls.

"Yes?" I glance over to her.

"Can I braid your hair?" She wonders.

"Sure. That sounds nice." I move over and sit in front of her.

Kiran begins to brush my long hair as the three of us talk to one another, it's mostly Jayeon and Kiran. As Kiran briads my hair, it reminds me of when Chaerin and I would have sleepovers while we were growing up and how she always wanted to briad my hair. I miss those days at times. I miss my family so much all the time.

Kiran finishes putting two French briads in my hair. I smile up at her. "Thank you," I say.

"No problem, Unnie." She returns the smile.

I go back over to my makeshift bed and sit down. Jayeon sits down in front of Kiran and asks her to briad her hair as well. Kiran agrees and then tell Jayeon that she has to briad her's in return. I watch as the two have this banter back and forth and that makes me miss the sleepovers I use to have with Chaerin even more.

"Unnie," Jayeon calls.

I snap out of my thoughts and look to her.

"Do you want to do a face mask with us?"

"Sure," I agree.

We head to the bathroom and begin to put on the face cleanser. Kiran and Jayeon help each other put it on as I do it by myself. Jayeon turns towards me and asks, "Do you want help to make it even?"

"Sure." Jayeon and Kiran begin to help me make the mask even.

After taking off the mask, the three of us decide to go to bed. I'm rather happy about this because I have to get up to work at seven tomorrow, but I doubt I'll make it on time. I set my phone on the coffee table, make myself comfortable and it doesn't take for me long to go to sleep.

My dark brown eyes flutter open and I'm met with Eunhyuk staring down at me. I pull the covers over my face as I stare at him.

"What?" I ask.

Eunhyuk leans away from me. "I was just seeing who spent the night here last night," he says.

"Oh?"

Eunhyuk nods and walks away from me. I check the time on my phone and it's nine o'clock. "Why didn't my alarm go off?" I wonder. I check the alarm on my phone and see I set it for pm. I quietly groan as I check Chaerin's messages.

Chaerin: Hey, where are you?
Chaerin: Are you sick?
Chaerin: Text me back when you can.

Me: Sorry. I was up late last night. In order to repay you for working by yourself for two hours, I will work late tonight.

Chaerin: Okay and you don't have to.

Me: I will, I feel bad. I'll be online in about an hour.

I get up from my makeshift bed, fold all of the blankets, grab my clothes from the floor and go to the bathroom. I change, walk out and into Donghae. "I'm sorry," I apologize.

"I didn't know you spent the night," he says.

"I did because it was really late when I was going to leave last night and Kyuhyun and Heechul didn't want me to walk home." I put on my face mask. "I'm sorry, I can't really talk right now. I have to get home." I bow to Donghae and rush off to the front door with my things. I put up my hood and exit the building.

I get home and see this invitation on my door. I take it, unlock my door and walk in. I set my keys and mask down on the table by the door and go up to my office. I sit at my desk, open my laptop, turn it on and stare at the envolpe. The only thing on it is my name written in very neat print.

I open the letter as my laptop boots up. I pull out the card and begin to read it.

'So Byunghee, you are invited to the annual auction in Busan at the Mizu dance hall. It will be occurring in two weeks from now on May 22nd. We hope that you can attend.'

The gears in my head begin to turn as I flip the invitation around and see the people who are putting on this auction. "Bear and Mouse Coporation," I say to myself. I bit my lip. "He's going to be there. He's always there."
