We don't talk anymore

Chapter 10

"Have you made the necessary preparations for our mission?"

"Affirmative! How about your part?"

"You can count on me! Ready for action, agent 707?"

"Always ready, agent Shooting Star★!"

"Let's do this!"

"It's finally the day of the RFA party, huh?" Jumin was fixing his tie and studying his reflection in the mirror. He grimaced upon noticing the dark circles under his eyes. He was used to sleeping for short periods during the night, but lately his sleepless nights have been one too many. He pressed the speed dial on his phone. "Assistant Kang, I will come pick you up in 20 minutes. Make sure to be ready until then." Jumin ended the call, put his suit jacket on, took one last look in the mirror, and headed for the door.

Jaehee had just positioned herself outside the door and was ready to greet all the guests that would arrive when she noticed a familiar, handsome figure approach her.

"Zen, you look spectacular as always!"

"Hello, Jaehee. Thank you! And you look as lovely as ever."

Jaehee of course turned bright red, especially when Zen, as the gentleman he was, took her hand, placed a kiss on it, and winked at her. She could only let out an embarrassed giggle.

"Zen, keep your hormones in check. The guests will be arriving shortly." Jumin approached the both of them.

"Oh, if it isn't the life of the party. Hey there, trust fund kid."

Jumin paid little to no attention to the actor and instead turned to Jaehee.

"Yes, sir, all of our preparations are immaculate, and the guests will be taken care of perfectly. Everyone is in their places; we are only waiting for V and MC to arrive. He called a minute ago to announce their arrival." Jaehee recited everything in a well-trained manner, even before Jumin could ask his question.

Zen smirked and sent a challenging look Jumin's way. "You don't deserve her. You know that, right?"

"Your hair is a mess, Zen."

"What?!?" He, of course, totally fell for Jumin's bluff and started to panic and look for a mirror.

By the time Jaehee had managed to calm Zen down and assured him his hair was perfectly fine, Jumin had already gone to the other side of the spacious hall, and was helping himself to a glass of wine. Right at that moment, he noticed MC and V being greeted by Jaehee. MC had her arm wrapped around V's, and they were both in an obviously good mood. Jumin's insides were literally on fire as he watched the two of them take their own places. They remained in each other's company and proceeded with their small talk and giggles.

"This is going to be a very long night." Jumin rubbed his temples and tried to calm his nerves.

The guests started to arrive one by one, but he didn't pay attention to any of them. His gaze was glued on MC and his best friend.

Present Time

MC was literally dancing all over Jumin's patience as she and V moved around the dance floor.

"Whose stupid idea was it anyway to include dances in this year's party entertainment plan?" At this point, Jumin was already a ball of nerves. He felt like he couldn't take anymore, so he finished yet another glass of wine and walked in a straight line through the guests, stopping right in front of the "couple".

"So that's where you've been hiding, Jumin."

"Hello, V. Excuse me, but I need to have a word with MC. I hope you don't mind." Jumin didn't wait for an answer, as he grabbed MC's arm and dragged her away.
