Secret Agent (Jhope X reader)

Chapter 9 - Somethings bothering me

~hola, this is fairly short, apologises, but please enjoy :)~

The bright sun light from the window was a rude awakening as I stretched my legs out and yawned. My internal clock was notifying me it was time to get up but hobi's defenceless sleeping face was too much. His lips were slightly parted and there wasn't a single line on his face. His eyes, although they were shut, were relaxed an peaceful.. but this light also allowed me to see his work. The dark circles under his eyes, the unhealthy paleness of his skin and his less than rosy cheeks. "Oh hosoek.." I whisper stroking his cheek, "please take care of yourself" I plant my lips on his cheek softly before sliding out of his arms. I place a pillow under his head and a warm blanket over his body, careful not to wake him, before sneaking back into the dorm room where everyone was still sleeping. My brother was still comfortably sleeping in jins bed, his arms wrapped around jins broad and exposed back, their legs tangled together with jin still nuzzled deep n namjoons bare chest. I'm 100% being a bridesmaid. I make my bed silently and glance up at the boys every now and then. I surprise a giggle when I notice youngish already grumpy looking face. Its as if he knew he only had another hour of sleep left and was pouting about it. I give the boys another look just to check their all sleeping soundly and dont need anything before grabbing my uniform and sneaking out to the shower. 

My shower was beyond refreshing, I felt so much better, but something was bothering me. I brushed my wet hair while looking the mirror and mentally preparing myself for the next few days. I splash some water on my un-make-up-ed face and tie my hair into a basic pony tail. I head out to the kitchen and start making myself some tea and just relaxing momentarily. Once the clock reaches 8 I hear the boys begin to wake. Jins familiar voice floats through the apartment as he wakes the others and soon discovers hoseok asleep on the living room floor, waking him up too. Its sound followed by joonies much older and harsher wake up call, particularly aimed at the taehyung and yoongi. Jins the first to walk into the kitchen, "good morning~" I smile warmly and sip my tea. "Ah-!" He yelps, "are you okay?! Your face is awful!" He yelps again and moves towards me quickly. "Jin im fine" I slip out his corne. "Y/n-" "im okay" I did forgot how noticble my face would be to them because im so used to this beaten up look.  After a few moments he nods and smiles a gentle smile, recovering from his initial shock and starts preparing some food, "sorry I didnt make breakfast, I wasn't sure, .. I mean I didnt know.. um .." "Its okay, I enjoy it" he smiles and starts cooking happily. namjoon is soon to join us in the kitchen. "Did you sleep with hoseok last night- omo.. are you okay? How are you feeling?" i raise an eyebrow "what on earth are you talking about? You're beyond paranoid" he rolls his eyes and kisses my head gently, "how are you-" "im fine' "y/n .." "I said im fine" I say rather sternly. He nods looking down and moves to help jin, his hand resting on his lower back. Gradually the other boys filter in all surprised to see me and asking how I'm doing. I walk back to the bedroom to put my shoes on when my waist is caught by a stranger. "/n.." hosokes sleepy face was looking at me. "Are you okay?" I smile reassuringly "im great" he sighs, "your face says otherwise" I sigh as well and he moves away. "Please just let me clean it up a bit" I nod and follow him. To be honest.. my face was as cleaned as its ever going to be but the thought of being close to hsooek infiltrated my mind and refused to turn him down. I sit on the lid of the toilet seat as he runs some cold water and grabs some disinfectant stuff. He bends down slightly and tilts my chin up with his index finger. My heart beat dramatically increased as he leant closer and started dabbing the cold cloth on my bruises. I swallowed hard. Just seeing his lips this close made me think of last night. We nearly kissed. My breath became laboured as he got closer and I lost all my self control, heat soon rising to my cheeks and turning them bright red. "Are you sick?" "H-huh. What-..?" His words were like music to my ears but I couldnt register what he was saying, I was too mesmerised by his face ad closeness. "Your cheeks are flushing and you feel hot" he presses his hand to my forehead making my breath hitch and heart stop. A small squeak falls from my mouth. "Y/n you need to take the day off, you need to rest" I try to respond but due to the bambi effect hosoek has unknowingly cast on me I was unable to make any form of sound so instead sat there opening and shutting my mouth like a goldfish at feeding time. "Y/n-" "im okay!" I manage to blurt out with a big breath. I gulp again and try to breath. "Im all good okay? Dont worry" I finally manage to from a coherent sentence that sounds somewhat like myself. "but-" "no butts, im okay" I force a smile and stand up brushing my trousers off, but something was bothering me. "BREAKFAST" jin calls, "come on your breakfast is ready. you need lots of energy for the day"I push his chest gently and he turns a faint pink. "yeah... I guess so" "ill tidy this up, go get some food" he nods and smiles, "thank you" he leaves and jogs to the table, quickly digging in with the boys as I clear the medical bag away and finally make It back to the bedroom to put my shoes on. I grab my work bag and walk into the kitchen, "bye guys see you later" I smile cheekily and steal a bit of their food. "Yah! You can't leave yet! You havent had breakfast!" Jin half yells in my fcae. "Byeeeeeee" I kiss namjoons head and hobis cheek before making a quick escape-.... I KISSED HOBIS CHEEK! FUCK! in front of everyone. shit. I didnt even......... omg. "Y/N!" I hear namjoons shout so I make a break for it and jump down the flight of stairs, half rolling on the floor and running out the building. I jog subtly down the road, keeping my face and uniform hidden from my coat and mask, very aware of fans being nearby.

Finally I make it to work using my amazing sense of direction.. and google maps. I walk inside, scan my ID card and head up to my temporary office, I just mange to unlock it and get inside when theres a knock at the door. "Yes?" I dump my bag on the floor, not even having made it to my chair, baekhyun walks in, "good morning, gosh you did get beaten last night" I throw him a glare, "you're looking peachy keen too honey" "wow sarcasm this early in the morning" "sarcasm any time of the day for y/n, morning (nickname/shortened name)" zoe comes strolling into my office and plonks herself on the sofa. I roll my eyes and sit down in my chair leaning back a little. "Hit me with the info" zoe places a cup of (fav hot drink) in front of me as she sips her hot chocolate. "pretty much nothing" I stare at her blankly. "What" she sighs, "theres no information, xiumin appeared and disappeared like harry potters invisible clock.. there is no information" "fuck sake" Frustratedly I throw the stapler at the wall, making baekhyun flinch. "You'll get used to it" zoe comments sipping her drink, unfazed. I rest my head in my hands, something was really bothering me. "So apart from explaining to the Chinese bossman why everything went tits up we have no idea why, how or even who is ultimately planning this" "no y/n, theres a lot of things to investigate yet, and-" "GET YOUR WHOLE FUCKING TEAM ON IT. I WANT THAT THEATRE CLEARED BY THIS EVENING." I shout so loud that the other staff from other floors freeze. "Y-yes chief" his eyes were wide with shock. "I want every fucking piece of evidence this little shit has left behind, split your team into a further 2 teams and have them alternate shifts. Alert, awake and rested investigators will notice things others won't" "yes chief" I stare at beakhyun. "what the fuck are you still doing here? get out." "Yes chief!" he nods and runs out the room. "Honestly.. " zoe giggles, "you're beyond brutal, did you know that?" I sigh, "its so slow here, I can't help myself" we share a smile. It was good having zoe here, someone who got me, who didnt ask if I was okay because she knows how it works, who didnt question my shouting or swearing because she knew it was acceptable. I was happy to have her. "I fancy chicken for lunch" she comments mindlessly, "really zoe" I laugh a little, "get to work" she laughs quietly and jumps up, "yes chief" I wave her out and lean back in my chair again closing my eyes, soemthing was bothering me 'if I was a rough double agent where would I hid..?"

it was 3 o'clock and I hadnt moved from my office chair. zoe had had her chicken for lunch and baekhyun had got his whole division as well as another division in the investigation and I secured some assistance from some Chinese investigators. Now I was sat watching cctv on reply of xiumins every movement, or every recorded movement. Id watched the same scene 11 times now and still I couldnt see anything. I felt blind. Blind and deaf and something was bothering me. "What aren't I seeing" I whine to myself as I watch the clip for the twelfth time today. After the fifteenth time I decided to take a break from the screen. I start pacing around the office, id had enough of everyone asking questions when I had no answers, and I was already sick of reliving last night, my boys were just too close to that threat that night and I didnt like it. I didnt like it one bit. I start throwing pens at the wall with such force that they stick in the plaster. Without realising it I start creating xiumins face as I throw more and more pens, something was really bothering me. "Ma'am you have visitors-" "fucking arsehole- huh-.. oh" I turn around to see the receptionist looking a bit scared. "Sen them in" 7 men are dressed in conservative clothing, faces covered enter my office, "they refused all security cheeks so i'll-' "thank you Irene." She bows and quickly leaves, shutting the door behind her. "What are you doing hear?" I ask exasperatedly, flopping down in my chair.

"Just popped in to say hi" namjoon takes his hat and mask off and sits down, followed by the others. "Yeah, because thats something you do on a day to day basis with your standardly average every day job" the sarcasm drips off my lips. "Well ouch" I sigh and rub my face, "sorry.. hows practice?" I sip my drink and look over at them. "Tiring" jungkook comments, slumping on the sofa. "But we get the day off tomorrow!" Taehyung was happy as always. "We should all go out! And you y/n! We all need a rest day" "oh thank you but I can't, I have work and-' "zoe told us you have no information and nothing new is happening, one day without you won't hurt anything when theres nothing been found yet, just come" namjoon the voice of all reason was right. "And if you take a break you might be able to see things differently afterwards, it might even help" and hosoek the sunshine was also right. i sigh and think for a second, weighing up my options and running my hands through my tied back hair. "Okay fine, ill come out tomorrow" they all cheer and whoop in victory. "We're gonna have such a goo day!" Immediacy everyone explodes into chatter and an excitable atmosphere fills my office.  I smile a little and listen them, but my thoughts are still focused else where. Something was bothering me..something big..something that could change the entire situation...and threaten everyone around me. Something that scared even the most fearless of people, xiumin wasn't alone, it isn't me hes trying to bring down, its the entire country.
