The Stranger

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

slowly getting up, Seohyun didn’t leave her gazes to that someone who bumps her. Mindless to say but she feels something bothering her. the girl, for some reason gives her an aura of something familiar.

She recalled as the girl had bumps into her like in slow motion...

The girl had her full body hitting on her right side as she slowly fell on the floor, grunting her a little in pain. If it wasn’t for the voice, she wouldn’t have looked up and find the culprit already leaving her.

Although it was quite fast, she made contact with the girl’s perfume—it’s a straw berry scent that gives her a little dazed as soon as her nostrils came in contact to hers.

Blink.

Snapping back to her own world, she bring closely the black thick wallet to hers and was amazed by how it’s actually had the same scent.

What a girl.

Deciding to opens the thing, she observes every corner of it first…

S M F

SMF? What could this be?

She fined three letters being printed in that thing.

“Hmmm… interesting.” Suddenly, a husky low voice makes her jumps in her feet and instantly she clutch to her chest as soon as she has seen her sunbae.

“Aish! Seriously, I hate you for being like that Sunbae.” She hissed, staring in disbelief to Yuri.

Yuri just chuckle with her new partner, as she motioned the latter to go with her.

Following suit, Seohyun put the wallet inside her shoulder bag shrugging the thoughts in her mind.

While walking, Yuri was speaking to give the younger girl some notes for their mission.

“Mr. Allen, an Aussie is now heading here. He’ll guide us to our mission but before that, of course we need our plan to build. You read the mission report right?” she asked, earning the younger girl’s nods as she recalled the meeting she had with Director Im.

Flashback…

“As you can see in that report… last month, Police Austrians had reported about this lost of millions from different accounts. They suspected that a group called Fireflies was behind all of these. The group was seen always roaming around every bank in Melbourne but they couldn’t trace their hideouts. As if this group had it’s wise mind to certainly place their hideout in much secure and isolate place. So… since the Melbourne Police wants us to do this mission. I’ve tasked you to  do this. Agent Kwon had investigate it and… your father seems to be involved in this.” Mr. Im had his hand under his chin as he talk to his new agent seriously.

“I’ve been always waiting for this Director Im.” A smirked was seen from the younger girl as she rose from her seat.

“But not only that Agent Seo… we need you to do another mission, regarding this illegal company.” Director Im had rose from his seat too.

“Illegal?”

“Making bombs.”

She raised a brow. How can she forget? She’s specialized with bombs.

“We heard about reports of an illegal factory—cmakings bombs. Don’t worry, this won’t cut your real intention on coming to Australia”.

With a determined look, Seohyun stood and grabs the folder that director Im had handed to her. “I’m an agent now Director Im. I have no doubts on accepting more missions.”

“That’s good. By the way, Miss Lee is waiting for you in her lab right now. For some quick information regarding your mission.”

Bowing as a respect, Seohyun smiled a little before she excuse herself, not forgetting to say… ‘Thank You’.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stepping inside the laboratory, Seohyun had her smile sincerely to the person in her white attire with another agent.

“Oh you’re here.” it was a guy agent who came approach her with a hand. She furrowed her eyebrows and somehow not use to guys’ presence. The guy is not familiar for her. Maybe, a new agent?

The guy awkwardly retracted by his hand when she didn’t took the hand. “Uh, I’m sorry… where's my manners… uhmm… I’m Yesung, a new agent field here.”

A chuckle was heard from Miss Lee as soon as she heard the latter’s antics. Seohyun just look away. She’s not really into guy’s presence, let alone a stranger.

“Yesung, I beg my pardon for our agent here. She’s new too but she’s not new for us. Anyway, Maknae? Shall we start?”

With a cue, the laboratory instantly changes into much spacious room. The long table in front slowly went down and the floor shines, revealing a wide screen before them.

Series of numbers and people instantly appeared in the screen with Miss Lee discussing the flow of the mission until she stops in Seohyun’s mission earlier.

“We have gathered his eye, lips, nose and even finger marks earlier. This will be use if ever we can find the hideout... and I have to compliment you, that was so easy for you.” Miss Lee complimented, as she show the full view of Mr. Seo’s face.

Seohyun clenches when she saw her father’s face. She’s no longer considering her father a father for her.

“And by the way, I have to remind you… do the mission cleanly.” Miss Lee said seriously.

“Don’t worry, I have a briefing earlier too. I can do this.. Miss Lee.” She assured with a smile. She was about to bow when this Yesung interrupted them.

“Uh, May I?”

Once again, Seohyun stood stare nonchalantly to the older guy. She sighed in defeat to see how desperate the guy could be, so she accepted the hand in defeat.

And a cold sensation runs into her right hand, made her unbalanced a little as she let go from the hold. She gritted her teeth upon experiencing the sensation.

“I’m sorry… but… just want us to try if it still works.” Miss Lee said. She approach Yesung and took a thing in the guy’s left pocket in her jacket.

“This is… frozen tablet.” Miss Lee said, handing it to the younger girl. The thing is a small soft round crystalline with a blue dot inside.

“This… how am I going to use this?” she asked in curioisity.

Miss Lee rubs the thing and place it in the younger girl’s pocket. She quickly hold the younger girl’s hand and it made a slight cold sensation in Seohyun’s body right after Miss Lee did it but unlike earlier, she didn’t feel light headed and just stay in her place without any pain or something.

“Actually, we use this thing in Yoona’s body back then.” She revealed, taken Seohyun by surprised as she recalled that day.

Flashback…

Seohyun’s POV

BANG!

“Ha… Ha… Ha… “ I heard a loud sound coming from somewhere that makes me opened my eyes and I find myself breathless. Wandering around, I could smell a medicine. The room, it’s all white. I know I'm in a hospital.

“Where… where am I?” I asked breathless in no one in particular.

“In our headquarters Miss Seo. You’ve been sleeping for a week already.”

Suddenly, I heard another person on my left as I turned to see… a man in a white gown. He must be a doctor.

“Headquarters? What do you mean? A week? Uh, where’s my girlfriend? Is she alright? And… and… can you send me to her? I badly need to see her? she was badly.—“

It was quick. The old man had injected me something that made my muscles calmed. My heart and my brain suddenly calmed too as my thoughts suddenly submerged. My worries over my girlfriend just make me shed tears. As I slowly shut my mouth too.

The old man sat beside me and check on my blood pressure. “You know… you asked our agents regarding about that. I only took care some living patients.”

Living patients?

Does he mean? My… girlfriend had already died. No… way…

I bit my lips as I started to sob silently. “No. you’re not saying my girlfriend is dead right?” I manage to ask and he just looks at me with a sorry face?

I didn’t say anything anymore as I let my tears stream down my cheeks. I knew it. IM YOONA. How can you leave me like this? I thought we made a promise? How can you do this? why? why? we still need to build our own family. We still need to build my own film sites and we still need to be married. I suddenly felt light headed with all the thoughts in my head. It’s unbearable. All of our dreams were now only a dream and was replace by pain and empty.

“I’m sorry… you can just ask another person about that.” he said as he check on my legs.

I just realized, my right leg was being casted.

IM YOONA.

IM YOONA

I screamed in my mind as I look at my cast. Now I feel how pain it can be everytime she’s shot. It hurts so much.

“There. You can have your ther—“

“NO BRING ME TO MY GIRLFRIEND FIRST!!! I BEG YOU!!!”

“Omo.”

I felt my heart shattered over and over again when this old man had injected me a formula again. how can they be so selfish? I just want to see for the last time. MY YOONA.

“I’m sorry… director Im had tasked me to relax you first. There’s nothing to worry with your child in your womb too. He’ll not be affected with our medicines for you.”

I literally turned my head towards him again, still, my tears won’t stop when I heard about ‘He’. That means, I and Yoona had a baby boy.

My pain had mixed with a little of happiness. Yoona like a boy so much. Why is God to be so cruel sometimes?

I just let my body calmed first as I silently sobs, hiding from the blanket in me.

A week passed…

Finally, they let me see my girlfriend’s body. She was lying in a glass table with another glass covering her. I was in my wheelchair and Yuri is on the side.

Slowly, I raised from my chair and look at my girlfriend’s body. Doctors had informed me that my girlfriend’s body was preserved first before they could buried her. The glass was in freeze and I can feel how cold it is.

Yoona’s face. it was so calm and yes… still so pretty. I promised not to cry anymore but it didn’t happened when I saw her entire face. she’s still the angel I know.

Yoona, please wake up. Please… Taemin is big in my tummy now. Like what you said, we need to hid him right? so your father bought me a new condo. I really love your family. They’re protecting me together with our child.

“Yoong please… wake up my little angel. I want to feel your embrace again.” I sobs and sobs as I put my two hands on the glass. “YOONA WAKE UP!!! PLEASE!!! I’M BEGGING YOU!!! I COULDN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!!!” I screamed and scream.

“Yoona… “

“Seohyun, stop.” Yuri suddenly pulled me for a hug, comforting me as I keep on sobbing with all my might. The pain, it still so deep. I can’t get out on this seriously. Why on earth in my birthday Yoona? why?

“Tell me Sunbae… this is just a joke, right? Yoona will wake up later.”

“Shshsh… calm down. Seohyun you need to be strong. For your friends and family. For Taemin as well.”

“No, I won’t calm down not until she wakes up.” I abruptly pushed Yuri before I turned to face
