Ties

The sun rose yet again, at the same time, just as it always has. I was beginning to get sick of the sun always waking me up. It felt nice at first, when I first became a spy and moved into my newly developed home, each morning I would wake up with a smile on my face and I’d feel refreshed and ready to take on the day. I guess after three years, it became too routine. I began to think I’d need something new to satisfy my emptiness. “Maybe I should get a pet…” I said out loud. “But then I’d have to clean up after it and provide the exercise it needs. Plus I couldn’t just relax by myself anymore and I’d lose my free time. Pets are needy.” I sat in silence contemplating the possible solutions to my dilemma. After a while of coming to no conclusion, I decided to go ahead and get ready for work, so I began my morning routine…. Again.

                “Huh, I’m finished an hour early….” I examined the hands on my watch and noted that I had finished getting ready early this morning. “Maybe I’ll stop for coffee.” I hurried out the door after grabbing my essentials for today’s mission plan and headed towards the closest café. It was bright outside. And there were some birds chirping obnoxiously loud. “Definitely not getting a pet bird.”  Said raising my eyebrows in annoyance. “I’m a fan of cats.” A familiar female voice from behind said. I turned to see three of the four members of 2ne1. “Hello… Chaerin.” I said, hesitantly. “Daesung! Dara was just telling me about how you generously gave her a ride home the other day.” I looked over at Dara who once again looked disgusted at me. “Yes. We ran into each other and she mentioned you so I assumed she was a friend.” The three girls nodded and the four of us stood awkwardly in silence “I’m actually on my way to get coffee before work. You ladies want to join…. My treat.” I said. “Sure!” Cl yelped grabbing the hands of the other two before taking the lead and walking ahead.

After we got to the café, we all took our seats and ordered our drinks. CL tried to engage in small talk. “So, Daesung-oppa… you said you were going to work after this… where do you work?” I looked at the gang leader. I couldn’t tell her I was a spy for YG, which would be suicide. “I’m a Vice President for a company… well, I guess I’m treated more as a secretary… I’m just an errand runner.” It wasn’t too far from the truth. YG tells me who to kill and I do it. He tells me to bust a gang…. I do it. “Oh… Nice! I bet that has good pay, huh?” I nodded. Suddenly Dara leaned over and whispered something in CL’s ear. CL’s face turned into one twisted with anger. I followed her line of gaze and it led to behind me. I turned to see 3 familiar faces. T.O.P, Taeyang, and G-Dragon all stood on the opposite end of the room staring straight at me. “Why are they staring at Daesung?” Minzy questioned and tilted her head looking at him. ‘Mayday!’ I thought. I knew I was going to be revealed today. I just felt it. “I don’t even know those guys…. Why does that one have blue hair?” I said, trying to play it cool. CL smiled at my comment while Minzy and Dara continued to stare me down, burning holes into my scalp with their heat ray vision. The other three males glanced at each other before T.O.P nodded his head to the side implying they should leave. G-Dragon nodded in agreement before all three of them took their leave. I felt relief. Suddenly it wasn’t as stuffy. “Maybe they were looking for something.” Dara said slightly sounding slightly snarky. “Maybe,” I said in agreement trying to play everything that just happened off. “Or… Someone.” Minzy added looking straight at me. “Girls, stop. Daesung… those men are spies and…” “CL….” Dara said sounding alarmed. “What?” CL replied. “I want to let him know the dangers of hanging out with us. It’s not like he’s going to kill us.” I stiffened at the irony. Was she about to come clean? Was I going to have to tell her I AM out to kill her? “Daesung…” CL looked at me, “Those men are spies.” “Spies?” I asked, pretending I didn’t know the answer. “I’m…. a gang leader. 2nel… that’s us. That’s me, Minzy, Bom, and Dara.” She said pointing to the person the names matched as she said it. I pretended to be surprised… unfortunately, Dara seen right through me. “But of course... you already knew that. “ She accused leaning forward over the table a little. I froze, but smiled. “Dara… don’t accuse hi-““She’s right…” I interrupted CL standing up for me. I looked up to find all three of them looking at me. CL looked shocked. Dara and Minzy looked triumphant. I stood up and placed some money on the table to pay for our coffees. “I am a spy. Actually, I know all three of those men who just walked in. I knew about 2ne1. I know about everything you ladies have ever done. I knew about you before you knew about me. And the next time you see me, Chaerin, I’ll be on the opposite end of the pistol from you. Let that be a warning.” I finished speaking and immediately darted from the café. I found an old ladder I used to climb up to the roof. I peered down at the three girls congregate in front of the café and look around frantically for me. It took two seconds for Dara to spot me and smirk evilly. “There he is.” The two other girls turned around and looked up at me. “Oh….” I said as I started running. The women instinctively split up and began pursuing me. Dara climbed up the ladder in the alley, CL went left, and Minzy took right. I began to run opposite of the ladder Dara was ascending. This was fun. It had been a while since my last chase. Dara was right on my tail and I couldn’t see any sign of Minzy or CL… Dara was good, too good. I would take a sharp turn and almost as if she could read my mind, she would too. I came to the edge of the building and stared at the large alley. I wasn’t sure if I could make the jump. This alley was wide enough for a two or three cars to park side-by-side in. “Gotcha!” Dara screeched as she came at me with a fisted hand heading straight for my face. I caught her hand easily. “Really now? Sandara Park…. I’m not one to hit women. But I’ll give you three strikes.” Dara growled and lunged at me which I dodged with a breeze. “Strike one…” I mused. CL and Minzy appeared behind Dara, but this time they had Bom with them. “Such a shame…” CL spoke up. “I actually could kind of stand you.” CL made the next move. She threw me a right hook which I blocked. She let out a small grunt as she continued trying to pummel me. Jab, Round house kick, Jab – Right Straight – Left Hook – Right Low Kick, continuously she tried but failed to land something on me. The other three gawked astounded as I dodged everything. CL stumbled backwards from me blocking her low kick and tried to catch her breath. “Minzy… you’re up.” Minzy leapt forward like she was out of a Japanese action anime and aimed a kicked right for my head. I ducked and moved out of the way. She immediately went into a Front Foot Roundhouse Kick to the midsection followed by a Same Foot Roundhouse Kick to the upper section. I stumbled back barely missing the kicks and almost tripped backwards over the ledge of the building. “I see you took Taekwondo.” I played, breathing slightly heavier than usually. “Don’t play games with me.” Minzy said sounding a little pissed off. “Bom, you didn’t bring any weapons?” CL asked? Bom shook her head and shrugged her shoulders. “I was with Sistar… I didn’t need them.” CL let out the most aggravated scoff I’ve ever heard. My watched beeped. “Oh... lookie there… Gotta take this.” I said excusing myself to the side. I pressed a button on my watch and placed my wireless mic headset in my ear. “Hello, agent D-lite here.” The girls stared at me as the guy on the other end. “I’ll get right on it… I’m in the middle of a conflict with 2ne1…. No… I don’t hit women…. I’ve nev-“. I was cut off by a fist hitting the side of my face. “Ow… what the hell?! I called for a break.” I looked up to see CL with tears welling in her eyes. “This is why we hate men. You can’t even respect us enough to fight properly. I’ll see you again Kang Daesung. And we’ll be on opposite ends of a pistol.” She pivoted on her heel and walked off. Dara and Minzy glared at me one last time before following the leader who was being comforted by Bom.  “Hello!!! Agent D-lite! YA! Pabo-ya!” The voice in my mic was screaming, trying to catch my attention. “Sorry. I just got punched in the face and screamed at.” I apologized. “What? You got hit?” The voice asked. “Nae…” The voice laughed hysterically. “You never get hit!” I realized he was right. I’ve not been struck since I left training. I was always fairly good a defense… but… Cl, she hit me. I was off guard… and she hit me. Square in the face. I stood flabbergasted listening to the voice on the other end of the mic drown in laughter. “Hey!” Someone called out. The voice in my mic was still laughing so it wasn’t him. I turned to see 4 familiar guys. “...” I let out an exasperated sigh. “Can’t you knots just leave me alone?” Seungri rolled his eyes and G-Dragon got belligerent but was held back by Taeyang. ‘Hell no! Taeyang! Let me go!” the dragon demanded his goon. “Jiyong, you won’t be able to do anything. Didn’t you see him dodging all of 2ne1’s attacks? Plus, He’ll fight back. You’re a boy.” GD stopped for a moment but not because he had a moment of realization. “I am NOT a boy! I’m a man. I might be slightly feminine and have better fashion since than most females… but I am 100% man.” He scoffed. Taeyang rolled his eyes. “D-LITE!” The high pitched scream coming from my mic knocked me out of my gaze. “Uh… yes? Something just popped up. I’ll contact you later.” Before he could reply, I hung up and turned my attention to the men standing in a line. “What’s you guys’ problem?” I asked. T.O.P stepped forward and stared me down.  Felt my body turn to flames beneath that man’s glare. ‘Damn it, Daesung! Stop it.’ I mentally chastised myself. “You keep interrupting with our missions… that’s our problem…” He began. “Yeah…” G-Dragon added. “And so we’ve come to the conclusion that in order for us to succeed. You have to decease.” I stepped back but realized that ledge was there still. “What are you guys going to do?” I inquired sarcastically, knowing they wouldn’t be able to lay a finger on me.
