Chapter 5

Taehyung POV

Today was the seventh day. We were meeting with Yoon Aera today. I had to say, I was really entranced by her, and had been itching to see her in person. After learning all about her through a computer screen, I was more than ready to meet the lady herself.

I readjusted myself impatiently in my seat. We were at the fights waiting for Yoon Aera. Because she was the crowd favorite, the undefeated champion of the ring, the organizers always place her at the back of the lineup in hopes of gathering more people. People weren't admitted halfway through, so we had to sit through the whole thing. Finally, the lights dimmed as the invisible voice announced Aera's name. I leaned forward in my seat to get a closer look at the mysterious girl's fighting. She certainly didn't disappoint.

Her style was distinctly graceful, like an angel reborn. Yoon Aera was... strange though. She clearly had the capabilities to end the match before the opponent even knew what was going on, but why did she wait and take so many hits? Maybe she's trying to keep the crowd's attention span, I think. As Aera throws down the idiot who's stupid enough to go for her crown, the crowd stands up and roars with approval. I clap along.

"Can we go now, hyung?" I ask Jin, impatient to see the girl that had captured my attention. He nods, and we stand up to go. The crowds in the back all swarmed towards the exit, bringing us with it's tide. We stopped outside of Aera's private dressing room. She was inside, lazily sprawled on the couch, a bottle of beer in her hand as she vividly gestured to the small crowd of men around her. She laughed, and I immediately fell in love with the way her eyes sparkled.

"And then an uppercut, and BAM!" Aera was saying. The crowd of other fighters laughed along with her, raising their bottles in salute towards her. Namjoon coughed softly, and all heads turned towards us. A tall, stocky man with big muscles frowned and got up towards us.

"No outsiders allowed in here!" He said with eyes narrowed. His eyes traveled over us, sizing us up. The others also got up and put down their beer bottles. They wanted a fight.

"S'Okay Johnson. I've been expecting them." She smirked at us. "Hi cutie!" She winked at me. The dude known as Johnson laughed.

"So you like the pretty boys, eh?" He laughed again. He waved at the others to follow him, and finally, we were alone with Yoon Aera.

"Who would've thunk I would have Bangtan come personally for a job interview?" Aera chuckled and downed another beer. Judging from the empty bottles on the ground by her feet, it wasn't her first. "Well let's see if you're worth my time. Surprise me, Kim Namjoon."

He nodded at me, and I took out the files and began to read.

"Name: Yoon Aera. Age: 21 years old. Weight: 114 llbs." I continued with the information. Then I took a deep breath, and said, "And that's that. If you were really Yoon Aera." I looked at her, but she only seemed amused, even a little bored. "The real Yoon Aera was killed by you two years ago, and you used the face changing technique and created a human skin mask exactly like hers. You took over her identity because you had similar facial shapes and body types." Now Aera was listening. "In reality, you are the number one spot on The Sins, the right hand man of Jace Smith, the leader of The Order. You went by the name Kim Beomseok, who was a 23 year old male, who's special face changing technique earned him the nickname Thousand Faced Ghost Hand. You are Lee Y/N, 18 years old, naturally a blonde, 112 llbs." I finished and looked at her. She was looking at the ground.

"Lee Y/N. I never thought I would hear it again." She said softly. She looked up at me. "Consider me impressed. I'll work for you." Namjoon smiled. "But on several conditions. You have to give me a credit card with unlimited money in it. Not like you would be very concerned about my spending. Second, I want my own personal gym and training space, alone, and up to me to design. Third, I don't want anyone to question my loyalty. Even though I have only recently joined the team, I am a soldier by nature. I do whatever I want, when I want. Don't question what I do. When there's a mission or job, you can count on me being there, but other than that, don't get too curious about what I do meanwhile. " Namjoon nodded.

"Those are simple requirements. They will be seen to immediately. I promise we will keep out of your business, as long as you stay a loyal soldier we can count on to do any sort of important job." He stuck out his hand to Y/N. She shook it.

The deal was made.
