End Of Nightmares (Book 3)

Chapter 39: A Meeting To Be Remembered

They all went to a part of the building that resembling a pantry or rest area. Some of the employees were there, taking their breaks. All of the girls sat at the long table, waiting for the food to arrive. While waiting, they started small talks between themselves.

Despite being an idols, Dreamcatcher seems friendly and approachable albeit their status. And upon looking closely, it is scary to see such huge resemblance between the sisters and the idols. As minutes goes by, the sisters, Wheein, and Hwasa forgot their uniform and just chatting with Dreamcatcher like a bunch of schoolgirls.

"Really?! Hwasa and Wheein are 18? And Hwasa is the head of Lancers?!" SuA gasped at the fact.

Hwasa gave a nod, smiling wide at her reaction. She gave an occasional glance at Alice, checking on her body language. And it seemed that the sisters are having their guards up, still. But it is understandable, since underneath that mask, there are the exact copy of Dreamcatcher sitting across them; names, looks, even group name.

"And you Shadow Corps are only 16? Wow... You must have no fear at all..." Yoohyeon commended them.

"Why Shadow Corps, though?" Dami asked them. The sisters looked at Lily for her to answer the question.

"So, you are their leader." Lily was surprised to see Dami caught on that. So, like Emma, Dami is sharp as well.

"Well, that's our root. So, Shadow Corps it is." She answered short. Dami hummed and nodded her head.

"But why did Hwasa and Wheein not wearing any mask while you guys do? Is there any difference?" Gahyeon tilted her head, asking Lucy about the mask. Thankfully Wheein came for the rescue.

"Well, we're the one in the office while Drea- No, Shadow Corps is doing the fieldwork. So it is crucial for them to maintain their identities hidden." Wheein cut in. The idols nodded their understanding.

"So, what's it like in Lancers? I heard you go undercover or some sort. Care to share some stories? We would love to hear about that!" JiU asked them. It seemed she successfully fished her group's interest as all of them brighten up with anticipation.

"Well... Nothing much. We're still new recruits, so this is kinda our first official mission." Monica shrugged.

"Well, that's a downer. I thought since Lancers are quite renowned in this country, not to mention we're having the best and most accomplished Lancers' with us right now." Handong sighed, dejected by the turn of event. But her statement made the sisters stood up straight.

"Really? I thought only Yoojin has Lancer Department. So each of South Korea's provinces has their own Lancer?" Rachel looked at Hwasa. Hwasa just replied with a nod, affirming the fact.

"And Yoojin's Lancer is the best among them. I took the entrance test when I graduated from highschool but I failed the field test." Siyeon stated.

"There is a test?!" Both Hwasa and Wheein nodded at Lucy's question.

"Wait, if you didn't go through the entrance test, how did you guys get recruited?" Siyeon frowned at them.

"Well... We're... Err..." Della stuttered, trying to build the lies.

"Recommendation. These girls might be 16, but they all have an unbelievably strong military background." Hwasa's answer made the sisters froze in shock. For her to blatantly told the idols about their backgrounds when it is not her secret to give.

Slowly Lily's eyes changed colour, little by little anger seeped into her vein at her friend's thoughtless words. Hwasa realized the changes in Lily, she looked straight to the glowing eyes hidden beneath the mask.
