"By the way
you've been uninvited.
cuz all you say,
are all the same things i did."
The 19 year old boy woke up wrapped in his soft and fluffy blanket on the cold winter morning. He stretched his arms over his head and yawned. Chenle rubbed his eyes with his fist as he got up from his bed. He smacked his slightly puffed up face to get rid of the sleepiness.
He slipped on his velvet slippers and walked to his bathroom. Chenle went to the sink and splashed water on his face before brushing his teeth. The sunrays peeked through the glass windows enhancing his angelic features.
He finished his business in the bathroom right before a knock was heard "chenle are you in there?" the maid spoke. "Yeah I am I'll be out in a moment" the brunette yelled back. "Breakfast's ready come down to dining hall." she yelled one last time before going back to her work.
Chenle left the bathroom and picked a hoodie and a pair of jeans from his closet as his outfit for the day. He exited his room and walked down two flights of stairs before heading to the dining hall. The chandelier hung above the dining table where his parents sat having their breakfast.
"Oh you're up Chenle. lovely!" his mother exclaimed sipping her morning tea, reaching for a piece toast. "You going somewhere lele?" his father questioned looking up from the book he was reading to observe his son's outfit. "Yeah i need to go out for some work dad." Chenle replied to his father with a smile. "You're not gonna eat?" his mother enquired looking at her son frantically reaching for the door.
"Uh I'm just gonna take this-" Chenle rushed to the table and grabbed an apple before running out the door and flashing a smile at his mother.
As soon as he was away from their mansion's area, the boy pulled up his hood and walked to the nearest police station assuming that was the one the guy on the call was referring to on call last night considering he didn't verbally mention any particular one.
"What does he want.."
The agent woke up at 8 and dressed up to meet the boy. He ruffled his hair and took his sunglasses before running out his house.
He just hoped Chenle assumed he meant the police station near his house since the maid cut the call before he could state which one. he walked to the place and waited for the 19 year old to show up.
To the agent's luck, after 15 mins, the brunette boy finally arrived at the place told to him looking for the person that called him there. The agent walked to him and tapped his shoulder to divert his attention to him.
"Zhong Chenle?" he asked to confirm it was the boy he wanted "The one and only. were you the one that called my household yesterday?" Chenle answered him the slight smug on his look disappearing.
"Yeah it was me. I believe we have some business to discuss..." the agent said before walking past the boy towards a cafe. "Where we going?" "dream cafe. let's discuss things over a cup of coffee shall we?" "okay..?" Chenle answered still unsure as to what 'business' and 'things' he was referring to.
They entered the cafe's glass doors before taking a seat and the corner-most table. "Yeah so who are you again?" The younger of the two asked before ordering a machiatto to the waiter who went to their table. the agent ordered a cappucino.
Once the waiter had left, he answered the boy "Agent 423, secret service agent. In the need of your assistance for a case." he removed his sunglasses and looked at the boy. "And you, Zhong Chenle of house of Zhong, one of the richest in korea. Secretly involved in illegal dealings behind your parents' back. Has had a few deals with the well known veiled fox, burning sun and the lion. am i right?"
Chenle went pale at the details the man in front of him knew. He swallowed the lump in his throat. "W-what do you want from me?" the agent let out a dry chuckle and replied "Don't worry I won't arrest you for now. I need your help in a case. You have any recent deals with the veiled fox for now?" "Yeah actually today. He wants us to meet and discuss some deals."
"Well that's just splendid- thank you!" the agent bowed a thanks to the waiter who just served their orders.
He turned back to the young boy "For this plan to succeed I need you to repeat every word I say, am I clear?" "W-what plan?" The 19 year old stuttered feeling skeptical of the current situation he's stuck in "That doesn't matter at the moment, Mr. Zhong" the agent replied displaying a charming smile "O-okay but how and what's in it for me and why should I comply with you?" Chenle asked bringing the caffeine to his plump lips.
The agent passed him an ear piece and a walkie talkie before answering his other questions "If you do comply with me, I won't arrest you till your next dealing. However if you decline this proposal, I'll arrest you for all your illegal work, expose you to your parents with you behind bars for 10 years. How does that sound?" The man ended his sentence with a charming smile.
Chenle gulped down the caffeine in his throat he didn't know he was holding. "So are you gonna work with me? Zhong Chenle?" the agent asked the boy who was still pale. "Y-yeah"
"Heres my current number." The man slid a piece of paper before getting up and wearing his coat, about to leave. "Wait." the boy asked just as the man was about to walk through the doors. "Yeah?"
"What should i call you? I mean other than agent 423 that is."
The agent smiled before saying his name.
"Jeno, Lee Jeno."
"Copycat

when you can't watch mine"
