26 | Not Okay

"You were with her the entire night you can't remember a thing?"

Yoong shake his head as he really couldn't remember what happened that night except driving her there with him. But he surely remembers what happened the moment he woke up.

Flashback...

"Ugh." Pain behind his back greeted him the moment gained consciousness. He tried to pull himself up but it's unbearable that he decided to stay in bed.

Seohyun entered the room with a glass of water, a pill and an ice pack on a tray. "Hey, You up?" And she took her seat at the edge of the bed beside him. "I'm sorry baby, I don't think we'll go home together. I receive a call from the headquarters that ask us to assemble early. But here, I got you pain reliever and an ice pack to your backpain. I'm really so sorry baby. Please call me when you got home, okay?" She leaned down and kiss him on his lips. "I'll see you after the mission." She whispers and didn't wait for his reaction anymore and hastily left the house.

Tilting his head to the right side where the tray was on top of the night stand, he sighs and tried to get up. This time he endured the pain until he was able to take a sit. "What happened last night?" He couldn't remember a thing especially why he is having backpain. But he took the pill and drank it. Looking around the bedroom, there was nothing that can trigger his memory. "Ugh. Why am I having this?" Picking up the ice pack, place it to the sore part of his back but it was hard to remain doing it and he just put it down. Getting up, he held his back while he walked out and again, there's no trace that might return his memory. He proceeds to the kitchen and a breakfast was set on the dining table.

Eat Well. - Seohyun

His lips curved into a smile however when he reads the small note next to the plate. He took his seat and was about to dig on his meal when he felt a sting on his back. "Aish." His face is in pain that he dropped the fork to take time himself to relax. Once the pain subsides, he returns to his breakfast but he still couldn't continue as once again it curious him what happened last night. He slowly looked around the place but it's hard to remember a thing. "She should have told me before leaving." Quiet upset with Seohyun leaving him behind, he just sighs and finally started his breakfast.

End Of Flashback...

"Was it Yoon?" Secretary Kim guesses. The President return home with a surprising back pain and she is curious as well what happened. "You couldn't remember a thing that means he appeared again. But did he tried to hurt Seohyun? You wouldn't get that if he did nothing wrong."

Yoong is speechless but he somehow agreed to it. "He did. And Seohyun has to tell me what happened."

"She left too early for the mission. I hope she returns safe and sound."

"Yeah."

Suddenly, the door opens and his Chief of Staff this time opened the television. His and Secretary Kim's attention shifted to it.

"The Prosecution will send a team here to question you Mister President."

Yoong was expecting it that he only nod. He is ready to answer them truthfully.

"And this." His Chief of Staff changed the channel. "Your parents are going to release a statement soon."

Stunned, Yoong got up in rage. "What the heck are they doing?!" That he mindlessly shouted.

"Mister President. They were here yesterday and told me they will do this. I'm sorry I wasn't able to tell you." Secretary Kim apologetically said.

"Aish! We should've done the statement before them." It was too late to change the time of their Press Release. Yoong is feeling nervous and worry what will her parents do. They are even in front of their hospital.

Secretary Kim took his bottle of water and handed it. "Please take your seat, Mister President."

He doesn't have a choice but to comply but he couldn't leave his eyes off of the screen even though it's not yet starting. He just couldn't miss about their press statement which is in regards to the issue about him.

"Wish us a good luck." Tiffany said to the headquarters main guards before she closes the door and joined her fellow agents inside the van. "Alpha team is on the road." She announced over her earpiece. Across her, Agent Seo smiled briefly.

"After this let's go sauna." Amber is confident they'll succeed on their mission and that, they will have the relaxation time they deserve.

"Songyumpsal." Seohyun suggested as she glanced to Amber next to her.

"Noreabang too." Sooyoung added with a grin on her face.

"Why not go for camping as well?" Tiffany gets excited with all of their suggestions, causing her to feel relax. She had been anxious since last night for their big day.

Seohyun smiled brightly. "Agree to that. Let's all do that after this mission." She couldn't wait to end the mission whether it's a success or not. They deserve something in return for their sacrifices.

"We apologize for everything. Our son, Im Yoong doesn't deserve all the criticisms. He had been doing a good job as the President of this country. All that he wants is to serve and protect this country with all his best. If there's someone you guys have to question, it's us not him. We're here, open for any investigation any time today or any day of the week."

Yoong had never felt anything for his parents but when the statement was released earlier, he had mixed of emotions. First, it's the first time he heard them defending him and it quietly moved him especially when his father bowed in apologies in front of the press and the public. He did it on the ground instead of standing. He on the other hand find it unnecessary because people have already criticized him so much and even ask him to step down. He also felt rage because they never did it from the moment he was born. Only when he is now the President where people know them and the hospital will be popular.

"What's their plan?" He couldn't help and question their sincerity. Or are they even sincere? "Aish, why do they have to add to my problems?" He ruffles his hair and got up from his seat to walk to the glass wall and watch the blue sky. "I'm not yet done, right?" He sighed, feeling heavy inside.

A knock on the door was heard followed by Miss Kim's voice, the door opens without his signal. "I brought you some tea, Mister President." She set the tea down to the coffee table when the President calls her.

"Miss Kim."

"Hmm?" She just stood behind him.

"Do you consider working with another boss if someday I won't able to continue my last terms?" Yoong turned to face his secretary seriously. "Because I feel like it will be the scenario. I could recommend you to someone that I can trust-"

"Let's not talk about the thing that hasn't happened yet, Mister President."

"Just in case. We can't tell the present anyway. Would you like to consider it?"

Secretary Kim shake her head. "I think I will just quit my job and help my mom in our restaurant. That's where actually my paycheck going. And to be honest, I couldn't see myself working with anyone except you." She smiled, warmly.

Flatter to hear it, Yoong smiled back as he passes at her and took his seat on
