This chapter will explain a lot of things to those who read, and will provide numerous spoilers for those who haven't.

 

It had been three years after their first meeting and the events that followed afterwards. Life proceeded as normal with Woo Hyun becoming the nation’s number one most beloved senator whereas Hyun Mi earned a reputation as a noteworthy motivational speaker wanted by everyone. She managed to publish an autobiography about her now fiance—the very one she told him she would write about just to make an excuse to spend more time with him. What started as something purely work related evolved into a personal business.   Eventually, their relationship had worked out so well to the point Woo Hyun finally braved himself to pop the question. He wanted to do something simple and took her fine dining on a private jet he managed to rent before he got down on one knee. It was very minimalistic, but perfect the way she liked it.   “Where are you going today?” Woo Hyun asked, wrapping his arms around her waist while resting his cheek against the top of her head. She was in the middle of cooking, but secretly loved his skinship too much to complain over it. Luckily Dong Woo had left earlier, or she would not have allowed his public affections.   “Ki Bum asked me to come over to the organization today,” she answered, moving her arms to stir the kimchi fried rice he adored.   “Really?” He detached his head from her and gave her a surprised look that went unnoticed. “They’re not giving you a mission, are they? They can’t do that. I won’t allow it.”   Hyun Mi laughed, turning on her heels to face him. She tiptoed to give a chaste kiss on his lips—these fluttering kisses came more naturally now without having to sneak one every now and then inside the elevator. “They won’t, sweetie.”   Woo Hyun frowned when she removed herself from him to lay out the plates on the table. Something about her reply sounded hesitant. Was she actually returning to that field of work? They had left her alone most of the time, only requiring her expertise if Ki Bum was unable to handle the target on his own.   “Don’t worry, the secret government work is behind me,” she assured him, bringing the pan of fried rice to the center of the dining table. “Maybe Ki Bum just misses me.”   “You know I won’t allow that either,” Woo Hyun said a little defensively as he took a seat opposite of hers.   “As a friend.” Hyun Mi laughed, tousling his hair for his adorable possessive antics. Who would’ve known the charming politician everyone looked up to would get jealous like this?   “Just be careful,” he then told her.   Hyun Mi raised her brows, momentarily still before she proceeded to hand him the utensils to eat with.   “Of course.”     Walking through the corridors of the organization felt so nostalgic. Hyun Mi hated to admit she had missed it a little. But those days were past behind her since she had to keep Woo Hyun safe as well.   Her legs led the way to the main office that now belonged to her former partner in crime, Kim Ki Bum. But when she pushed the door open, he wasn’t alone. She was joined by familiar faces she once worked with, along with a new stranger she immediately recognized as the head of Interpol, Kim Jong Hyun.   “Hyun Mi!” Hee-Jin was the first to yell, excitedly waving to her cousin who was the last person to join the party.   “When did you get back in town?” Hyun Mi asked as she approached them. Feelings of confusion and ecstasy rushing over her.   “Last night. They told me there's a new mission so I had to rush over,” Hee-Jin answered, welcoming her cousin to stand besides her.   “Indeed, you have all been specially selected for a classified mission,” Jong Hyun spoke. His grin was all but welcoming as he stared at them. He then proceeded to take several papers out of the files he was holding in his hand.   “For the past few years, we have been busy designing and crafting this aircraft which we are going to name Boeing Siren Moros 4959. It is created to accommodate all of our needs.”   “What exactly would that be?” Hyun Mi always had the habit of interrupting before the other was done spreaking. Jong Hyun held a hand up for her to wait, and she apologized with a nod.   He laid the blueprint of the airplane on the desk so everyone could see all little details of the design. “First of all, the lavatories are designed to be soundproof. No one will be able to hear a desperate cry from inside even if they bonked their fists on the door using all their might.”   “I don't think that’s the only usage for a soundproof room,” Maerin spoke ambiguously at an inappropriate timing, earning a harsh stare from the others. Jong Hyun was so intimidating she could only apologize silently.   “There is a shabby elevator available which is quite slow for its pace. You can use this to your advantage as well. On the lower floor, there is the typical baggage area and so on. But we have also installed a frozen room to preserve the dead bodies,” he continued leisurely.   “Hold on,” Hyun Mi interrupted again, blinking in disbelief. “What?”   “The dead bodies,” Jong Hyun repeated, but soon realized she wasn’t filled in on their main mission. “Your task is to eliminate the evildoers.”   Before Hyun Mi could respond, Jong Hyun threw another folder in front of her. It was thicker and contained profiles of several individuals. As her hands frantically scanned through the pages, she recognized several familiar names. These were the ones they had dealt with three years ago and managed to discover the crimes of: Happy Pill, Kim Sung Gyu, SWEG Corporation, Han Mira, L’Studio, Jung Ho Seok, Hwang Yerin, Chen Charity, Kim Suho, and Elleaf just to mention a few.   “What are these?” She questioned again, unwilling to grasp the reality she was situated in.   “We need to eliminate these people.” Maerin noted the reluctance in the elder’s face. Figured. Hyun Mi had never been keen of the murdering part ever since she was still an agent at the organization.   “They are bad people with criminals records. Maerin and Hana has already done a lot of research on them. You should take a look for yourself.” Tae Min was also aware of her moral dilemma. He pointed at a section of the profile that stated the crimes each of the people have committed.   Hyun Mi couldn’t believe the things she was reading. Her anger was automatically boiling seeing the great injustice inflicted by these lawbreakers. Her love for justice and moral was what made her join the organization in the first place, and that quality of life never faded even after she had left.   “We have worked over the past several years to collect these data regarding these targets. Me and Ki Bum have been formulating a plan based on our assessment of their behavior and reactions to determine a good course of action,” Jong Hyun continued.   “Wait,” Hyun Mi was still so out of it she had to question every single thing. She had no idea why the others were so calm about it. Maybe her three year of absence had detached her from this field of work. “Please explain to me the main point of this idea.”   Dong Woo decided to take things into his own hands, knowing what his sister needed to hear. “You, me, and Hee-Jin will go on board of the plane. Then we will eliminate the people one by one without anyone else’s knowledge.”   “The three of us?” Hyun Mi questioned at the ridiculous idea. A hacker, a motivational speaker, and a flight attendant—how could they possibly kill people? Besides, she and Hee-Jin possessed no combat skills.   “This is what they have been training me for three years ago,” Hee-Jin said, sounding quite jovial at the idea. Did she not realize the lawyer whom she had a constant fling with, Kim Min Seok, was also part of the hit list?   “Can’t you just crash the airplane?” Hyun Mi asked. She was always meticulous with her missions, trying to find more practical options.   “We can’t guarantee everyone will be dead. What if someone escapes?” Ki Bum answered sternly. “Besides, it costs so much to build this plane. We can’t let it go to waste like that. We might reuse it in the future for other missions depending on how successful this one is.”   Hyun Mi pursed her lips, slightly shaking her head. No matter how she looked at it, the entire idea was flawed. It was never going to work out. She refused to do it.   “I’m retired. You guys will have to do this without me,” she her heel to take her leave.   “But you see, Hyun Mi, this isn’t a friendly invitation you can choose to decline,” Jong Hyun told her with an eerie scoff. She halted and he was pleased. “We allowed you to spare Nam Woo Hyun’s life, and we can easily take it away again.”   Hyun Mi swiftly turned to him, seeing him no better than Mr. Lee at this point. “Are you threatening me?”   “No.” Jong Hyun wiggled his finger. “I’m simply making you a one sided offer.”   The others kept quiet, and Hyun Mi sensed the similarity betwern them. Maybe they were all threatened in some way. None of them seemed to be a willing participant in this twisted and sick mission whereby one had to kill evil in order to do good. What kind of corrupted world did they live in?   A smirk crept on Jong Hyun’s lips when he watched Hyun Mi returning to the desk. Her fist were clenched so tight, and the reluctance was clear in her eyes. But he did not care. He only cared about getting the job done.   “I heard you recently got engaged,” Jong Hyun suddenly remembered, showing feigned interest in her personal life. It was mer
