(Flashback in Italic)

 

  "Yuri/Yuri unnie!"

 

"Nako-chan! Hii-chan! Wonyoungie!"

 

"I thought you said you're coming alone?" Yuri looks at Nako teasingly.   "I was going to but these two don't not letting me leave alone," Nako pouts as she glares at Wonyoung.   "Yah! Hitomi is here too. Why are you glaring at me only?" Wonyoung complains.   "Wait... Are you going for a date?" Wonyoung continues as she looks at Nako and Yuri.   "Eh?" Yuri quite perplexed with Wonyoung's question as she turns to Nako, hoping she will answer it.   "Why? Is there anything wrong if we are going for a date?" Nako asks back while raising her brow at Wonyoung. Hitomi can only keep changing her focus as she just keeping shut while watching her friends interaction at the moment.   "Are you for real?" Wonyoung raises her brow too as she locked eyes with Nako.   "Nako-chan, Wonyoungie, I'm hungry. Can we eat first?" Hitomi interrupts the raising tension between the two.   "Yes, yes. Let's eat first," Yuri quickly agrees with Hitomi.   "Sorry," Wonyoung mumbles a 'sorry' as she breaks her eye contact with Nako.   "What do you want to eat, Nako-chan? Wonyoungie?" Yuri immediately asks as they finally ready to get foods.           Yuri, Hitomi, Nako and Wonyoung are having small talks in between their meals when suddenly Yuri accidentally said something unexpected, shocking the others especially Hitomi.   "I thought you're going for your date with Chaewon unnie this coming Sunday."   The clinking sound of spoon hitting the plates were unheard on the table as the two pairs of eyes fixed on Yuri. Yuri also stopped eating as she noticed the eyes were on her while Wonyoung stopped following their action, confusedly.   "Is there something wrong?" Yuri asks confusedly as the three have their eyes on her.   Nako quickly makes a fake cough to gains Yuri's attention and shakes her head in response as Yuri set her eyes on her. Yuri changes her focus to Wonyoung as she waits for the latter's response to her comment.   "No. I cancelled it since I need to do some preparation for my evaluation next Monday," Wonyoung responds as she continues her meal.   "That's . Why do we need to undergo evaluation test again?" Yuri complains and they proceed with other topics while two persons are occupied with something else in their mind.   Nako occasionally stealing glances at Hitomi, noticing how her bestfriend lost focus at some moments while conversing in their random conversations.   They're on their way back to the academy when Yuri's phone rang, a sign that she needs to leave in quick.   "Let me go with you," Nako suggests as Yuri ended the call in sour expression.   "What happens?" Wonyoung asks after seeing the worried Yuri.   "Black," Yuri only says one word and they nodded in understanding.   "See you later," Nako said as she and Yuri go for different direction.   Hitomi and Wonyoung continue their walk to the office in complete silence before Wonyoung speak out.   "Unnie..."   "Hmm?" Hitomi turns to Wonyoung with a curious expression.   "We only get some cake."   Hitomi tilted her head in confusion and asks, "What do you mean?"   "I'm saying that it was a friendly hangout," Wonyoung continues, "and it was not the two of us only. Yujin was with us last time."   "Oh..," That's the only word came out from Hitomi's mouth as she understands what was Wonyoung talking about.   "Why are you telling me that though?" Hitomi asks as she doesn't get why Wonyoung suddenly talked about it.   Wonyoung just smiles as she says, "Nothing... Just wanting to let you know about it."   "Eh? But--" Hitomi didn't managed to finish her words as two senior agents passed by.   "Good afternoon," Wonyoung greets the seniors, stopping Hitomi from finishing her words.   They had a small talked before they proceed with the direction.             The two senior agents, precisely the director and a commissioner had their talk while watching the two ace members disappeared by the hallway.   "Are you sure with the decision, sir?"   "To be exact, I'm not but I want to. I'm sure they will get back on track."   "I hope they will be soon."   "I'm sure they will. It won't be easy but they will eventually come back as before or more than that."   "It's a misfortune that they went through that but we cannot avoid those things from happening. They just need to get on track again."   "Yes, we can't avoid that as an agent......         Plus, they need to know the truth." Seung-gi purposely whispered the last sentence as he takes the file about the IZONE.                       "Are you sure we will be fine?" Yujin asked as she nervously playing with her fingers.   "WE WILL BE FINE," Yena emphasized each and every words as she patted the younger's shoulder.   "Are you scared, Yujin?" Sakura asked as she fixed her eyes on Yujin's.   "A bit..," Yujin answered in a matter of fact. Everyone was nervous as well but they should not show it. They need to keep the professionalism.       Eunbi silently sighed when she heard their conversation and glanced at the person sitting beside her, who's busy with her equipment. She wanted to say something but she know she cannot do that. She held her hands into fists while reminding herself, 'Everything is going to be fine. Hang a bit more, Chaeyeon-ah' and took a glance at the person beside her.   They arrived at the designated mission and immediately ran to their spots after a quick command.       "Okay, Yena and Yujin, go to the control room. Minju, set the gas and back up Yena and Yujin. Chaewon, Hitomi, and Wonyoung, I need you guys to cover us from behind at all times. Hyewon and Yuri, please keep your eyes opens at all side, and tell us everything you can see. Sakura and Nako, we need back up to clear the line for me and Chaeyeon to get into their main office. And Chaeyeon, always keep your eyes forward and trust that they’ll have our asses covered. We don’t need any of our members falling apart,” Eunbi ordered in a hushed voice. The members nodded in understand and ready for their next move.   Their mission was to execute the most powerful underground criminal that had been trying to slip through the international information and security digital system. They’ve been trying to track the group for months. Now all they had to do was get rid of the group before they carried out their plan. This wasn’t an easy mission though. It was high risk mission which rejected by the others force but they volunteered to took the mission
