It's rather terrifying how countless months, potentially years of hard work can all come down to a single moment in Kim Namjoon's line of work.

Being an undercover informant for the Korean National Police Agency isn't always as rewarding as the movies depict it. It's living day to day constantly looking over his shoulder and sleeping with one eye open, paranoid that his cover has somehow been blown and that someone is coming to silence his life. It's getting involved with some of Korea's most dangerous men in criminal organizations, from the king of white-collar crime, Kim Seokjin, all the way to Korea's most notorious mafia family head, Jung Hoseok. It's turning a blind eye to some of the cruelest of crimes and some of the most unethical deals in the black market, repeating to himself that the ends justify the means and that if he is to step in now and interfere, it will be all for naught. It's gaining the trust and friendship of the hundreds, even thousands of people he encounters day to day, knowing full well that in the end he will betray them all, because he is not who they think. It's a job that can eat away at the soul, and a path that most are neither strong enough nor brave enough to walk down should their morals be swayed in any way.

It's a good thing Namjoon just so happens to possess the kind of fortitude to do so.

Criminal justice isn't exactly where he originally expected to end up, it just sort of happened. His previous corporate routine proved far too mundane for his high IQ and gifted mind, prompting him to seek out another creative outlet in the form of underground rapping, where he ended up encountering Min Yoongi for the first time. Needless to say, he hadn't exactly been expecting to meet the chief of the Seoul Police Department at an underground rap battle of all places.

It was all a blur after that, and here Namjoon is now, casting a convincing yet artificial and polite smile at the scantily dressed waitress that takes their order and walks away with the click of her heels. He's at a black market conference, one where many lower ranked criminal organizations gather for a temporary ceasefire to negotiate deals, discuss business, and collude in trade and other sorts of illegal activities. He's accompanying the head of the Yellow Flower mafia group and his latest target, Ahn Jungwoo, for today's event. Yoongi has already dispatched Jungkook and Jimin who are already both in place outside to lead a police raid at this illusionary gala event at the end of the night, and Namjoon is all nice and mic'd up in preparation to obtain enough auditory evidence to send at least half of the scumbags walking around this place to jail for good. His only concern for tonight is-

A gentle tug to the sleeve of his suit draws him temporarily out of his thinking. "Oppa, look at how huge those ice sculptures over there are!"

The smile that spreads across Namjoon's face this time is genuine, one filled with warmth and a wave of emotions that are solely reserved for the woman looking up at him at the moment. "They're pretty, aren't they?"

"Mmhm!" The woman before him smiles happily, eyes crinkling in a way that has Namjoon's heart beating faster by the second.

That's right. The greatest source of his worry for the evening is none other than Ahn Hyejin, daughter of Ahn Jungwoo. It's a fucking cliche is what it is, falling for your target's very own flesh and blood. Not once on his previous missions has Namjoon ever so much as glanced at all the other women that would throw themselves at him, much less ones with a direct link to the head of the fucking mafia group.

Hyejin is different, though. The moment Namjoon had first met eyes with her from across the seedy bar that housed Yellow Flower's primary trades, he had known that she wouldn't be someone he could simply ignore. Despite being Ahn Jungwoo's daughter, Hyejin isn't aware of the true nature of her father's "business", probably convinced that her father is the CEO of some elusive company that does god knows what sort of work. Part of this is due to the fact that she lived in Jeonju with her mother up until recently, only moving in to live with Jungwoo in Seoul following her mother's death. In spite of the fact that they haven't met in years, Hyejin's relationship with her father is relatively normal and the two seem quite close at the moment, which is probably why Jungwoo has coddled her and chosen to hide her from the truth thus far. Hyejin is a carefree girl who doesn't ask too many questions about her father's work anyways, oftentimes much happier to simply tell Namjoon stories about her old friend Wheein from Jeonju or ask about his aspirations and passions.
