Into You

baby, come light me up

May 21, 2020 — Guangzhou, China

Weeks after the trip and Wong Zhoumi still sees Soyeon as a trustworthy person, trained well enough to keep her head fixed on her one task: the protection of Song Yuqi.

If only he knew...

The important thing is that he started to ignore Jongin's implications with the girl and started to give her more autonomy regarding the exits of his fiancee, who is slightly more satisfied to be able to leave the mansion and walk around the city every two days, even though the man still insists on showing his luck of having the loving partner he has and disrespecting her publicly, kissing her to inflate the ego of his possessiveness and making her embarrassed more times than he has realized.

Soyeon has already lost count of how many times the scene was repeated right in front of her and she had to press her fingers against her palms to keep them from punching him in anger. He's disgusting. Her only moments of peace are when her state meetings take place and she and Yuqi manage to spend all that time alone inside the mansion doing something fun with no supervision.

As governor, Zhoumi has many of these meetings every month, but the elections are only getting closer and that means that his political agenda is filling up really fast, sometimes making him have enough commitments to spend the entire day away.

This year, he wants to get a higher position, forcing his team to work twice as hard.

So Jeon Soyeon is heading to her room after watching with her own eyes Zhoumi's small commission to leave the house, a forecast of returning so far that she finally feels confident to take some action on her task. Her real task.

She locks the door to the room and drops her blazer on the bed, checking the hours to confirm what Yuqi is doing — it's two in the afternoon, which translates to her private session with the Wong family beauty team. With a clear conscience, she makes an improvised ladder with suitcases and tables to reach the top of the closet without taking the screwdriver out of her hand, and is about to unscrew the air outlet from the ceiling when she gets interrupted.

"Miss Jeon?" The mature voice is followed by knocks against the wood.

Holy shit .

There is no worse time for Song Yuqi to knock on her door. The surprise makes Soyeon hit her head on the ceiling and drop the screwdriver on the floor.

"Luffy? Are you there?"

She quickly descends from where she was and hurries to put the objects back where they belong.

"Uh, I'm on my way, Yuqi-ah!" She screams, but the redhead knocks on the door to hurry her.

Without time, having done as much as she could, Soyeon pushes the tool on the floor under her bed and takes a deep breath to ward off her adrenaline before opening the door and encountering Yuqi's lovely impatient face.

"You took too long," she complains. "Am I disturbing you? What were you doing?"

"Nothing important. Come in," the agent still sounds out of breath and knows that Yuqi is noticing it while looking at her judging eyes, but she stays quiet because the girl says nothing about it, entering the room and closing the door before Soyeon does it herself. "Shouldn't you be doing your hair, or your nails, or something else?"

"I canceled my appointment," she replies, messing with her hair in an automatic action. "I like my hair as it is, and I see no need to dye my nails. I've been keeping them very small."

The brunette holds her laughter at the speech and smiles. "Got it."

"You are all sweaty," she says strangely; eyes traveling to her muscular torso and not leaving it.
