    Jong-suk walked alone, he had just said goodbye to Mei, and was thinking about the plan.
    He smiled to himself.
    It seemed Taehyung was already getting jealous, he could tell. He was letting out all his emotions on stage and passed it as acting.
    Though it was much too soon for him to be jealous.
    He chuckled.
    Was he so slick as to make any man jealous? Jong-suk patted his shoulder in congratulations.
You sly dog, he thought to himself.
    Being serious however, he'd have to back off a little, it was much too soon for there to be a conflict. He must wait until the time is right.
    He'd have to distance himself. If he distances himself, Mei will wonder why and try to get closer with him.
    He smiled. That would trigger Taehyung a lot worse than what he was doing now. Of course, it would take time for him to admit it. A man's pride is almost too valuable.
    What to do?
    He made his way to his dorm, humming to himself. When he turned around, though, he was met with one of his partners in the mission.
    "Chaesoon! What a lovely sight." Jong-suk chimed.
    "Not really." Said Chaesoon boredly. He placed a hand on his hip and scratched his neck, as if not ready to give news.

    "Relax, hyung," chuckled Jong-suk, "What is it you want to tell me? That it's happening too soon? I've already figured that part out, if it is

"Relax, hyung," chuckled Jong-suk, "What is it you want to tell me? That it's happening too soon? I've already figured that part out, if it is."
"Not exactly." Chaesoon said plainly. "Our scientists finally found out the answer to Mei's DNA."
Jong-suk's eyes widened.
"What were the results?" He asked, a bit nervous for some reason.
"It's positive," he said seriously, "The two subjects are related."
Jong-suk was shocked. Purely shocked. He looked down, trying to find something to say. He hadn't really believed it could be true. He even thought the research was useless. But now . . .
"How will she find out?" Jong-suk asked, now fully business. He had his stature completely straight, hands behind his back, and face completely straight.
"Mr. Kim says to let her find out in her own. Though you are not banned from giving her hints."
Jong-suk nodded. Then concern filled his eyes.
"Why is this part of the plan?" He asked. "Don't you think that this is all a bit too much for her to handle?"
"What do you mean by that?" Chaesoon asked, raising a brow.
"I mean she's going to end up in a love triangle soon," he told him, "she's dealing with a lot of pressure because of her original status in this government, yet she doesn't even know it. We're all doing this for Jin. If he wants her to find out, why right now? While she's already trying to figure out the rest of her life? And what of her father? She needs to find out about him, too."
"Mr. Lee, are you concerned for the girl? This is business. Do you honestly think that Seokjin would be bothered with her feelings right now?"
    "Honestly yes!" Exclaimed Jong-suk, "Jin has been friends with her for three months! He should care for her feelings! After all, this plan was meant for—"
    "Enough Mr. Lee." Chaesoon sharply directed. "These orders are not for you to question, but to follow. Mr. Kim is doing this for a reason. I suggest you follow it."
    Jong-suk went silent. He nodded once.
    Chaesoon then, without saying anything, left.
    What should he do now?
    Why was he feeling something icky in his chest?
    He didn't like it. He placed a hand on his chest to see if massaging it would make it go away. When it didn't, he panicked.
