Chapter 16: Diligence

Yoongi trudged through the long hallway of the headquarters, his breathing shallow and uneven. He had been running around the headquarters like a headless chicken since six in the morning. From the conference room to training new operatives. 

Yoongi was not only the Diligence weapon wielder but also a trainer. He was one of the most diligent operatives in V.I.R.T.U.E and without his hard work and dedication, he wouldn't be here today. Natural, this qualified Yoongi to fill in as a trainer and a virtue wielder. 

Although praised highly by the Director, Yoongi never liked to flaunt his skills and in fact, his skills and his presence all together was as much of the mystery to the world as the 5th Dimension.

It was just job after job, place after place. And it did not help that the Director called an emergency meeting, this caused his entire schedule to crumble. But now his next stop was his apartment. 

Even though the air conditioning was blasting through the corridors it didn't stop a bead of sweat from falling down his forehead. In an attempt to cool himself down, Yoongi pushed his slender fingers through his black bangs. Moving them away, it allowed the cool breeze of the air-conditioned to make its way to his heated forehead. 

Finally reaching the elevator, Yoongi released a huff of hot air before stepping inside and pressing number 53. The elevator was fast to react and within seconds the twin doors closed before shooting up quickly to Yoongi's desired floor. Although brief - Yoongi took this time to bring his heart rate back down. He allowed himself to close his eyes and brought the water bottle sitting in his right hand to his mouth. He took one large gulp of the well-needed liquid before the doors opened. 

Stepping out, Yoongi took a sharp left before arriving in front of his shared home. He knew Taehyung would already be inside waiting for him so he simply knocked on the door. The soles of his black doctor martens clanked loudly against the tiled floors as he impatiently waited for the younger to open the door. 

Once he did, Yoongi pushed through and collapsed onto the couch of the modest apartment. It was small but Yoongi loved it. 

"Yoongi, the director is here to discuss tomorrows black op mission." Eyes widening in slight embarrassment, the elder turned to face the direction he had heard Hoseok's voice in. There his eyes met with both Hoseok and Director Kim's. He had been so exhausted the idea of the Director already being at his apartment had completely skipped his mind. 

"Okay." Yoongi tried to play it off his tired state cooly by swiftly turning over and pushing himself upright on the couch. 

"Don't worry Yoongi, get comfortable this is your's and Taehyung's home after all." The Director's kind words made Yoongi smile gratefully at him, shocking Hoseok and Taehyung in the process. 

Out of all seven of the Virtue Wielders, Yoongi was a lot more reserved and barely displayed his bright gummy smile for anyone to see. When Yoongi smiled it was what Taehyung and Jimin described to be a phenomenon. They all knew the reason as to why Yoongi was so reserved so most of the time the group refrained from making jokes.
