Under Cover - Myungsoo

Later that night, you retreated to your one bedroom apartment. With your favorite drink filling your mug, you shuffled over to your couch and took a seat before leaning forward and catching up on your missed emails from the agency. Setting headphones over your ears, you clicked on the file and opened it on your secured laptop. Watching the message play, with pictures cutting across the screen while your boss’s voice cut over the action and spoke to you all while information flooded you.

The short message was quickly exited and discarded as you sat within the walls of your quiet apartment, letting your mind process what you had just witnessed. Standing up, you wandered around your apartment allowing the information to sink in and try to connect the dots. Passing by one of your windows in the small living room, you peered down as a car sat idle at the curb of the sidewalk. Pushing back the curtain slightly, you saw a shadow move within as the shine of his dark sunglasses caught the light of the street light.

Quickly memorizing the license plate, you watched as the engine was , the running lights were dark but the soft light illuminated from inside the cab as you watched him slowly back out of the street and turn down another block before turning on his lights.

Returning to your couch, you pulled your laptop onto your lap as you logged into the agency and searched for the license plate on their data base. Searching a moment or two, it pulled up with two men, one older and another one slightly younger than the first. Now with a lead, you began to tap your fingers against your keyboard as you gathered information and sent it to your agency to have them find everything they could for you.

Day after day, you continued to work with the idols of Infinite. One day as you were carrying their order of morning coffee, you turned your head to look out the large glass doors. Seeing the same make and model of the car, that resembled the car sitting just right outside your apartment, you slowed your pace as you saw two men stepping out of the matte black car. Stopping at the front desk, you grabbed Infinite’s upcoming schedule for the week as the secretary went to go grab it. Allowing your eyes to wander back over to the car with the two men, you noticed that they were talking to security, the head of security to be exact.

Watching the head of security bringing the two men inside, you patiently waited for your schedule to come back as the men walked down the hall to the large conference room. The secretary handed you the schedule as you folded it over in half and then carried it underneath one of the coffee holders as you followed them down the hall. Seeing them file into the large conference room, you bowed to them seeing a few pairs of eyes land on your figure. Giving them a soft smile, you continued down the hall to the elevator as you stepped inside and watched as they all shook hands before the doors slowly closed to cut off your view.

The doors opened up on your desired floor as you walked down the hall a few doors before opening the door with your elbow and pushing past the door before the guys rushed to your aid.

“Thank you for getting us coffee” Sungjong cooed with a smile as he carefully took one of the containers holding four cups of coffee.

“Here is some money to pay you back with” Sunggyu pulled out wrinkled currency and handed it to you.

“Don’t worry, Gramps, I got this” You smiled with a teasing tone laced with your words, “Oh, here is the schedule that you requested.”

Handing him the paper, you watched as the guys as they tried to sort out the drinks trying to give everyone the right cup that they ordered. Noticing one of the members away from the group, you took over his coffee and sat down next to him, leaning on the wall behind you as you offered him his morning coffee.

“Thank you, Yiah” Myungsoo whispered as he lifted his eyes to meet with yours for a short second before he moved the cup from your hands and into his.

“You’re welcome” You whispered as you saw a light gloss coating his eyes. “Is anything wrong, Myungsoo?”

Moving his fingers across the domed lid of his coffee, he then guided the black straw between his lips before he looked over at you.

“I haven’t told anyone this… but I think someone is following us… I noticed that there was this matte black car outside our dorm a night or two ago. Two guys were inside and they were doing something for a good half an hour, if not longer…” Myungsoo whispered in full confidence to you.

The look behind his eyes said it all as you knew that it was something far more than just paparazzi or fans that camped out.

“Did you happen to see the license plate of the car, by chance?” You felt a tightening in your stomach as you knew that you had to ask.

“I got a picture of it. Want me to show you?” Myungsoo reached into the kangaroo pocket of his hoodie for his phone. Pulling his phone out after you agreed to see the picture, he pulled it up and turned his phone to show you.

“May I?” You questioned, with a nod of his head giving you permission, you shuffled his phone over into your hands as you zoomed in the picture to see the license plate.

Freezing as the picture adjusted to the zoom, your jaw dropped as flashbacks of the car outside of your home and the car in the front of the building matched the description perfectly. Searching the picture on his phone, you saw a little bumper sticker in the lower right hand corner of the windshield.

“Do you mind if I send this picture to myself?” You questioned, looking over at Myungsoo as you noticed that he moved over closer to you.

“Not at all” Myungsoo shook his head not objecting to anything you wanted to do with the picture.

“Thank you” You gave him a bright smile as your eyes peered into his. Knowing that he was the quietest member in Infinite, you took this quiet moment allowing yourself to open up a little to him, revealing yourself slightly through the look in your eyes.

Sending the picture to yourself, you handed the phone back to him as his hand rested over yours during the transfer. Feeling your heart skip a beat at his warm, kind touch. You lowered your eyes down to your touching hands as he bit down on his lip slightly.

“Hey we have a private concert in a few days, what should we work on first?” Hoya quizzed everyone as you looked back up at Myungsoo falling into those mysterious brown eyes of his. “Myungsoo, do you have a song you need help on?”

“H-Huh…?” Myungsoo stammered tearing his eyes away from your breathtaking ones.

“Do you have a dance you want to run through?” Dongwoo rocked from his toes to his heels in anticipation of what Myungsoo would choose.

“O-Oh…. Ah… We could run through Bad Girl again…” Myungsoo slipped his phone back into his pocket as he stood up first.

“Sounds like a good starting point to me!” Hoya rested his hands on his hips before he turned around.

“Why don’t we look at the songs we have to perform and then do those?” Sungyeol pointed to the paper as Sungjong looked at it as well!

Myungsoo watched as the guys congregated around the paper as he turned around and looked down at you, outstretching his hand to you, you saw his hand and followed his arm up to those kind trusting eyes of his. Slipping your hand into his, you moved your legs underneath you as he pulled your arm to create tension and you stood up on your feet. Not knowing his own strength, he kept pulling once you were already upright pulling you towards himself, you stepped forward trying to catch yourself before your body was pressed against another. Your fingers tightly wrapped around the fabric of his hoodie as the soft scent of his cologne swept over you. His hands were on either side of you as you slowly lifted your head to have his eyes meet yours once more.

“You okay?” Myungsoo questioned softly as it took you a moment for his words to take affect on you.

“Thank you for catching me…” You quickly snapped back into reality, your cheeks beamed with a bright red hue  as you untangled your fingers from the fabric of his jacket.

“Anytime” Myungsoo whispered next to your head

“Myungsoo time to start!” Woohyun called loudly across the studio as they got the playlist of songs for their concert ready.

“Okay, be right there” Myungsoo’s eyes gently stared into yours while you couldn’t help but keep your eyes locked with his. Feeling his heart leap with just that look in your eyes, he made sure that you were steady on your feet before his hands slipped from your sides with a slight smirk dressing his lips.

Getting into formation, you pulled down your shirt as you walked over to one of the saucer chairs and made yourself comfy while you watched the seven bodies move in harmony to the songs that you once didn’t know. Watching each member take their solo part with the lyrics, you couldn’t help but continue to keep your eyes locked on Myungsoo.

Pulling up the picture on your phone, you sent it to the agency in hopes that they could investigate to see if this was the same car that made both appearances. Awaiting word on the car, you watched the guys as they finished up practice for the morning. Gathering their things, they slowly filed out of the room, thanking you as they passed before heading out to meet in the basement stage to work on the upcoming performance.

After almost everyone had filed out of the room, you saw Myungsoo lifting his bag up onto his shoulders as you gathered your things, ready to lock the room after they were finished.

“Yiah, do you have a moment?” Myungsoo spoke as you turned your head quickly to look at him.

“Of course, what is up?” You gave him your full attention, feeling a unique sensation overwhelm you, a sensation like butterflies in your stomach.

“What if something happens with that black car?” Myungsoo whispered, “Like at the event?”

“Don’t worry, security is around and they won’t let you get hurt.” You reassured him, knowing that your first job was to protect Infinite at all costs.

Watching Myungsoo lift his bag up onto his shoulder, his worried eyes dropped while his feet shuffled against the recently lacquered hardwood.

“Hey” You cooed softly, your hand resting against his muscular arm to pause him from walking any further. “Everything is going to be okay, I will notify security about your dorm and you can text me if you have any more concerns.”

“B-But I don’t have your number…” Myungsoo’s eyes lifted hearing your comforting words, those brown orbs were kind and soft as they peered into yours, with almost a pleading gaze.

“You sent me that picture didn’t you?” You tilted your head causing him to think, once he connected the dots, you watched his rare smile part his lips revealing those pearly whites that almost always remain hidden.

Feeling something start in your heart, you dropped your eyes before you glanced at the time on your phone. “We best be heading down to the stage, or they will get worried.”

Nodding his head, he walked a little faster in front of you and pulled open the door for you. Thanking him as you walked through the door, the two of you chatted as you lead him to the door of the lower stage. Seeing the other six members on the stage and the manager in the stands along with security, you bowed to him and the boys before heading out to gather some more information.
