LEE KWON HA 'S POV:

I walked through those familiar noisy hallways of the HQ ( KSA HQ ) with my head down to avoid all those sympathetic looks from everyone , I mean what else could I expect from everyone. For the last 3 months , i was suspended and perhaps took a vacay because that's what my boss and also my legal guardian, agent . Kim thought was best for me. He's like family anyway . Six months ago my entire career went through a rollercoaster . It all started with that one case that I messed up , actually there was no way I could have seen that virtual storm coming . And again I'm lost in my mind and I blindly walked into agent . Kim 's office after knocking and shut the door . He looked at me in a serious expression which surely meant that I messed up really bad .

Agent. Kim : I dont think so ... Last few days ago I've been chatting all about you on the board trying to save you from getting fired .

Lee KWON ha: so am i fired or?

Agent. Kim : dont worry I handled it , kid . But surely things wont remain the same for you.

Lee KWON ha : what does that mean ?

Agent. Kim: I know you're gonna be really pissed hearing this . But they decided to put you off the field duty

Lee KWON ha: and?

Agent. Kim : and you'll be working here in the HQ

Lee KWON ha: are you saying that I'm appointed to sit in front of a monitor for the rest of my life in KSA

Agent. Kim : sadly yes, kid. But it could change cant say . And if you're not gonna do it then you'll be fired

Lee KWON ha : that's intense . I dont know what to do . I think I'll do the monitoring thing. I can't believe I messed up my career so badly

Agent . Kim : kid, I know the last few months have been hard but you'll get used to it . Just wait until you get a hang of it

Lee KWON ha: I know . Ummm do I still get to work under you?

Agent. Kim : of course you're stuck with me for a very long time , kid

Lee KWON ha: glad to hear that

agent . Kim : now let's walk you to work .like old times

Lee KWON ha : yeh just like old times

So the most curious question is what did I do 6 months ago that made KSA to take away my field duty? Answer is very simple . Well I screwed up a mission and ended up killing a civilian thinking that it was my target . And after that I got suspended for 6 months, the first 3 months were spent on the meetings on how exactly that happened and the next 3 months , I spent them on vacay as agent. Kim insisted. And now I'm back after 6 months to work . I cant leave KSA becoz KSA is all that I've got. Anyway what can an 23 years old girl with KSA training and no parents do ? That's just my life . Suddenly agent . Kim interrupts my dooming thoughts.

Agent. Kim : kid , you still in this world ?

Lee KWON ha: when did I say I'm not

Agent. Kim.: you got this

Lee kwon ha : I think I know that

Soon an agent I dont know who comes toward us .

Agent. Kim : kid this is agent. Choi . She's monitoring queen.

I certainly dont like her .

Agent. Choi : so you must be , Lee KWON ha, the recent scew up, anyways welcome to the world of monitoring

Lee KWON ha: thank you

Agent. Kim : it's better if you dont be so hard on the kid

Agent. CHOI: got it . The third monitor in the sixth row .

Lee KWON ha: got it
well that's way too confusing . Okay there it is . Cute little computer that I hate .

Agent. CHOI: so I'll brief you about the work soon now go and take your seat . And the password of the computer is LIPTONE . All letters capital no space

Lee KWON ha: got it

Now what kind of a password is LIPTONE . Definently an awkward one

2 MONTHS LATER

LEE KWON HA POV

This is so boring, it's been 2months and I'm still here keeping tabs on drug lords instead of being on field. Damn it another notification popped up on my phone and I thought of checking it up. I grabbed my phone, it was a god damn google alert. But what i didnt expect was agent. Choi to see me. The devil of my life.

Agt. Choi: no using phones during work, agt. Lee.

Lee KWON HA: got it mam

Thank god she walked away and yes my coffee was empty and what i needed was a refill. I looked to my right towards my computer buddy , agt. Park. He was probably in his 30s and anyways i am the youngest KSA agent to date.

Lee Kwon Ha : hey agt. Park. can you please look at my computer for some time. I actually need a coffee refill

Agt. Park: sure but be quick

Lee Kwon Ha: yeh of course I'll be quick.

I got off my seat , kept my glasses near the computer and then walked away towards the agency kitchen. On my way through the corridors i heard someone call for me. I was familiar with the voice it was agent. Kim. I stopped and he soon caught up with me.

Agt. Kim: so where have you been for the past 2 months kid?

Lee Kwon Ha: oh me? Definitely rotting my eyes infront of a computer screen

Agt. Kim: I'm sorry, kiddo. But i dont think there's anything that can't be fixed with a dinner at Hanso

Oh just for clarification Hanso is my favorite restaurant since childhood. After my parent's death, agt.kim who also happened to be my god father used to take me there. I still remember going there with my parents when i was a kid.

Lee Kwon Ha: sure if that agt. Choi let's me leave on time then sure.

Agt. Kim: kid, everything will soon get back to normal. Choi has always been tough on everyone. Just hang on and you'll get used to it.

Lee Kwon Ha: yup you're right. Btw is that bangtan whatever fan signing thing really an expensive event.

Agt. Kim: yeh that's what they say. If you're free then you should check it out. So where are you going?

Lee Kwon Ha : coffee refill

Agt. Kim: i don't wanna keep you from your work

Lee Kwon Ha: you're right, boss. I'll go now and anyways see you at Hanso 's

Agt.Kim: yeh be there at 10pm

Lee Kwon Ha: okay

Yes Agt. Kim walked in the oppsite direction and i walked towards the cafe then refilled my coffee and then went back to my little computer and started doing my work. Yes I'm booked for dinner.
