Chapter Three - Interview and Partner?

Chapter Three

August 16th 8:30 AM

The streets were rough, it was lightly sprinkling on this day. Y/N's atmosphere was stiff. Tension was high, and the rain slowly got heavier and heavier. "On my pillow, can't get me tired. Sharing my fragile truth. That I still hope the door is open, cause the window opened one time with you and me. Now my forever's falling down, wondering if you'd want me now." After ten more minutes, it was time. Y/N's time for the interview.

Walking into the building took nearly forever. The amount of security checks it took just to get inside was ridiculous. There was a line to apply at the front desk, you looked at the lady from the top to bottom and filled out the form she handed you. Basic questions like address, email, phone number, etc were asked. The feeling of the building felt like a doctor's office. Quiet, tense, and stressful. After about five minutes, a man calls out a name. "Y/N L/N?" You stood up and followed him to the back.

"Ok Ms. L/N. I would like you to complete this fitness test for us. The passing score is 80% and up. Here is a chart for you to take a look at." He handed you a chart with different sections and columns. "Ok, so one lap around the track in a time span of one through three minutes. Forty crunches, and thirty push ups."(A/N: This is obviously not the test, so don't try anything funny okay? Good.)

Thirty minutes pass. Your heart is pounding like crazy. Drops of sweat hit the floor with your hair and shirt soaked. Finally going for a bottle of ice cold water, you down it fast. The feeling of the water hitting your mouth and going down into your stomach was the most refreshing and euphoric feeling you ever experienced. Throwing yourself on a chair against the wall, you kept gasping for a breath. You looked up to see the man smiling at you. "Ms. L/N? You passed! Congratulations!"

One Week Later

August 23rd 7:00 PM

It's the night before the first day on the job. "Maybe I should treat myself to some cheap ramen tonight?" Nodding in agreement, Y/N got dressed in casual clothing and walked out of the apartment with earbuds in while listening to some music. "Suddenly I wonder if you're looking at me right now. Won't you find out all of my pain? I'll be around you, I'll be there for you, I'll be your light. All for you." Safely crossing the busy street in Seoul, Y/N walked into the closest convenience store possible. Slowly walking around the aisles of cheap food, stationery, and baked goods Y/N's eyes darted to see the special brand of ramen she wanted. 신 라면 (Shin Ramen). Finally, getting in line and purchasing the ramen, you hastily went back home and had dinner. Time to get a good night's sleep. Good night Y/N. Goodbye today, hello tomorrow.

Y/N POV

"MAYBE I CAN NEVER FLY! MAYBE I CAN NEVER TOUCH THE SKY!" I groaned loudly and turned over to see my phone blaring one of my favorite ballads. "Ugh. As much as I love you BTS, just a few more minutes wouldn't hurt right?" I flopped back down on my back with my phone and checked the time. 7:00 AM Monday August 24th. I have to get up now! I can't be late on my first day of work! I rushed around my apartment getting everything done and walked out with work clothes and a cup of yogurt and a banana. The drive to work wasn't long, but tiring indeed. I passed through security and walked to the front desk. I checked in with my name and the lady started to speak.

"Hello my name is Kang Kwon Joo. You can call me Kwon Joo."

"Oh hello my name is Y/N L/N. You can call me Y/N though."

"I see that you're new here Y/N. Let me guide you to the department you will be working in." Kwon Joo led me through all of these different hallways and corridors. Finally, we have reached a big sign above a door that said, "Crimes department".

"You will be working in the crimes department Y/N. Come on in." Kwon Joo opened the door with her keycard and walked in. I followed her and saw a bunch of people working on computers and various files. The space looked so mesmerizing and so clean. I was again interrupted by Kwon Joo. She stopped in front of an empty desk and started to speak.

"Here is your desk Y/N. I recommend that you get along with the people around you for certain missions you will be taking on later in the near future." I looked around at the people surrounding me and I smiled and introduced myself.

"Hello, my name is Y/N L/N and I'm excited to be working with you from now on." Everyone in the room smiled back and started to introduce themselves.

"Hi, my name is Yoon Se Ri and I work on all of the computer databases." Se Ri was a few inches taller than me, she had long dark brown hair and looked like she just came out of some sort of TV drama. Most likely super rich and her father owns a huge company and will soon give it to one of his kids so she's probably competing for it against a brother or sister while working this job. What a career woman. Next up was a girl a few years older than me. She had dark brown medium length hair and had dark brown almond shaped eyes.

"Hello, my name is Han Na Kyung and I work in the field with Jun Oh." I am completely convinced that she is the brains of every. Single. Operation. My eyes laid on the man she was pointing at, he was maybe a head taller than her, wore glasses, and had on a casual shirt and jeans. He stood up from his computer desk with a juice pouch in his hand and started to speak.

"Hi, my name is Kim Jun Oh and I work with Agent Na Kyung." He waved and had a cute smile. He sat back down and the moment he did I already knew what kind of person he would be. The absolute baby of the operation. Doesn't give a damn about the missions but gets it done anyways. He probably owns an entire fridge filled with those juice pouches. I waved back and smiled at him again. Finally, one last person was in the room. He stood up and introduced himself shortly.

"Hi, my name is Kim Seokjin and I'm your partner in crime fighting."
