Alex’s point of view

                “This is what you call a date?” I questioned as I stared at Jongup with disbelief. I could almost laugh as I stared at what he prepared for us for our first date. God I couldn’t still believe it. What are we doing? We work together. We’re partners.

                “What? What’s wrong with it?” Jongup asked completely confused while he lifted an eyebrow at me. I simply stared at him baffled his dark eyes seemed to sparkle with amusement at me. “It’s fun and I know you will love it. Anyways I know you would never go for a fancy dinner and movie.”

                I couldn’t help but laugh at him as I looked back forward at the paintball battle arena with excitement. The sounds of the paint guns being fired echoed in my ears as the battle went on with teenagers. They ran and jumped pretending they were in a real battle. They have no idea. Jongup is right I hate fancy restaurant dates. I believe it is to cliché. I looked back to my partner to see him staring at me with a loving gaze.

                “What?” I ask starting to feel self conscious. I felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment, but I attempted to ignore it. “What are you staring at? Wierdo.”

                “Nothing! Are you ready for me to kick your !” He quickly said yelling out loud with excitement. I couldn’t help but laugh at him as I shook my head. How did he of all people manage to steal my heart?

                “You’re such a Prince Charming!” I scoffed rolling my eyes as I walked in front of him towards the booth to get us signed in.

The men in the booth stared at me with shock most likely wondering what a girl is doing here ist bastards. Just when I was about to reach the booth to get us signed in I felt a warm hand grab my arm softly. I smiled knowing who it was as I turned to see Jongup staring at me with his signature crooked smile. The smile that always made me fall for him.

“But I’m the only prince in your life, right babe?” Jongup breathed out. His dark brown eyes shined in amusement while he stared at me.

“You’re so cheesy.” I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at him. I moved my hand so I can intertwine our fingers. I looked at him smiling softly. I felt my heart quicken as static seemed to travel up my arm he is touching.

“Say it!”

“Say what?”

“Say…” He breathed as he used his other hand to grab my waist pulling me closer to him. I felt my body press against his. He let go of my hand as he wrapped both of his arms around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I lean to the side as I stare at him in amusement ignoring how fast my heart is beating or even the fact that my body feels as if electricity is passing through it. His smile got wider as he leaned forward towards me. His mouth coming next to my ear. “Say I’m your only Prince Charming!” I felt my body shiver as he whispered those words in my ears.

“Well Jaejoong is very princely in a way. Very suave and cool. He wouldn’t take his princess to a paintball arena for a first date.” I mumbled out loud while to keep the smile off my face. Jongup quickly pulled back to glare at me as his hands tightened on my waist possessively.

“Alex!” He warned glaring at me. I chuckled lightly while I tightened my hold on him standing on my tip toes. I leaned up so our lips were only an inch apart.

“Yes! You jealous dork! You’re my only Prince Charming and no one will ever replace you. You’re the only for me.” I whispered just before I closed the distance. Jongup accepted my response happily as he responded back to the kiss.

Ring Ringg Rinng!!

“Hello?” I picked up my office phone in confusion. I was coming back to reality as I looked around my office with the phone against my ear. A memory? Of Jongup’s and I’s first date. This mission has to be getting to me. I keep thinking of the past I tried so hard to lock up. Ever since the first date yesterday I keep having memories invade me.

“Hey! We are in the Jyj division you need to see something.” I heard Kris’s voice mutter out. I can hear the faint voices of Jaejoong and Onew arguing. Most likely about something dumb. I let out a sigh as I stood up grabbing my things together.

“I’ll be right there.”   I breathed out just before I hanged up placing the phone back where it goes. I walked out my office making sure to lock it behind me.  I walked out my division with a sigh.

The memory still vivid in my head. That was our first date and the idiot took me paintballing. It was the best date I ever had in my life. We were our own team going against the arrogant teenagers that challenged us. Every single match we won making the teens pissed at us. I remember at the last match they got together and sent the best in one team after us. I laughed lightly to myself as I remembered how Jongup used me as bait to attract the men to me then he attacked. Just before Jongup got to me one of the teens made a comment that I belong in the kitchen. Let’s just say I snapped and Jongup just stood in shock as I kicked all their asses. Then I was so pissed off that he did that to me that I ended up as the ultimate winner because I attacked him.

I entered the elevator silently not paying attention to my surroundings. I pressed the button to the Jyj division floor. Leaning against the elevator wall I watched as the doors closed leaving me alone in the small metal moving box slowly going down. I stared sadly at the door.  Why he leave me alone? If he was here now he would take away my loneliness. We would be married and maybe have kids. We were supposed to have the perfect happy life. But it all got taken away. I couldn’t help, but feel guilty about yesterday. I haven’t gone on a date since he died. I actually had fun on my date with Lee Joon. Why do I feel like I am betraying Jongup?

“Agent Night.” A voice called my name making me come out of my thoughts. I looked up to see Taemin from the Shinee division holding the elevator door open for me. “Are you getting off?”

“Hmm?” I looked at him in confusion at first then quickly noticed that I am already at the Jyj division. “Yeah, Sorry Taemin. Did Onew send you here? Also how many times do I have to tell you to call me Alex.”  I stepped out of the elevator as he went in. I turned to him and smiled.

“Yes Ma’am.” He is polite as always. His childish face seemed too brightened as he smiled at me happily. His dark eyes sparkled.  “I came to have him sign some documents for me before I go to the conference with Key and Minho in Florida.”

“I have heard about the conference you will be having about the CIA to the potential new recruits. Good luck.” I said smiling at him. Taemin laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head.  “Don’t be nervous. You’ll do great. If Onew and Kris have enough faith in you about this then so do I. You will do great.”

“Thank you Agent Night. I promise I will work hard on this and bring the best of the new recruits.” He said out loud just before he closed the elevator.  

“He’s a good kid.” I muttered out as I turned around heading towards the glass doors leading into the Jyj division. Taemin has really grown so much in the past few years. I still couldn’t believe he had only been here 4 years he is still fairly new. He was the brains of the division and was a great public speaker. I still remember how nervous when he came here and entered the Shinee division.

“How dare you! I am going to kill you Alex!” I heard Jaejoong and Onew hissed in anger once I entered the Jyj division. I smiled softly as I looked up to see Jaejoong and Onew standing in front of the division’s conference room with their arms crossed.  The door behind them opened revealing a very amused Kris and Yoochun.

“Hey Kris! Hey Micky!” I waved happily ignoring all the stares from the people working around. I walked to them passing right by the flaming boys as if nothing.

“Don’t ignore us!” Jaejoong growled as he grabbed my arm forcing me to a stop. I rolled my eyes as I smirked slightly. I turned towards Jaejoong and Onew putting my best innocent face.

“ONEW! JAEJOONG! What’s wrong? Why do you look so mad?” I questioned. I watched as their faces turned red from anger as they pushed me inside the conference along with Micky and Kris. I let out a smile as I sat down on one of the chairs waving to Junsu. “Hi Junsu!”

The brunette man looked up from his laptop towards me with a small smile while he waved softly. He stared at all of us in the room with slight amusement as Jaejoong slammed the conference door shut. Closing us all in the room. I looked at the guys with fake confusion.

“Alex! Do you know how much trouble you put us in yesterday?” Onew finally let out as he and Jaejoong sat across from me. I looked at them from across the table and leaned back on my leather desk chair. I let out a sigh as I looked at my nails.

“I don’t know what you are talking about?” I let out innocently.

“Yes you do! Do you know how long we had to run from the fat policeman yesterday?” Jaejoong growled angrily. He narrowed his dark eyes at me with annoyance. I simply lifted an eyebrow.

“Oh no you were chased by the police? Did they catch you?”

“Don’t play dumb Alex!” Jaejoong hissed. Onew crossed his arms over his chest glaring at me as he nodded his head agreeing to Jaejoong.  “We would have gotten away from him, but the fatty called back up. We were held up at the station for what seemed like hours. How could you! You screamed at the park that we were gonna you then punish you. Do you know what they do to men like me in jail?”

“Yeah! We had to call Yoochun and Junsu to bail us out.” Onew added. Yoochun let out a chuckle as he and Kris took a seat on either side of me. I looked at Yoochun then Junsu with amusement. Junsu looked up from his computer to me smiling letting out his unique laugh.

“They didn’t press charges because the cop didn’t remember how you looked like. Also he didn’t read the Miranda rights to them. Law enforcement these days.” Yoochun spoke shaking his head in disappointment.

“Yoochun and I just had to tell them that we were CIA and so were you. We made up a story that you were undercover and they were helping you get your targets trust. The idiots bought it without a second thought. They actually were excited and wanted to know about the undercover job, but we told them it was confidential.” Junsu explained. I looked back at Jaejoong and Onew with confusion.

“It’s not that bad so why are you so mad?” Kris voiced out before I could even open my mouth. She leaned over the large table staring right at her partner with a stare as if saying ‘tell or else’. I let out a soft chuckle which earned me a glare from Onew. I watched as Onew and Jaejoong shift  uncomfortably in their chairs as they refused to looked at us. Then it clicked.

“Don’t tell me they stripped searched you?” I burst out laughing. I felt tears come down my eyes.  Onew and Jaejoong immediately growled out in anger as they glared at me.

“It’s your entire fault.” They hissed out in hatred.

“Who told you to follow me?” I retorted.

“We were looking out for you! Because of you we got stripped searched. Then a transvestite almost Jaejoong.” Onew yelled.

“Hey you swore that what happened would never leave there.” Jaejoong yelled at Onew. I laughed even harder with Kris. Jaejoong glared at Onew with annoyance.

“You never told us that!” Yoochun and Junsu said out in shock as they burst out laughing along with Kris and I. Onew and Jaejoong glared at us with hatred. You can see the red tint on their cheeks due to the embarrassment.

“Enough! It’s not funny! For some reason they thought we had date pills and weapons on us. Then genius here had his pistol on him so they went crazy and made us strip.” Onew hissed.

“Hey we are agents we are supposed to carry our guns. Anyways why didn't you have your badge? If they saw the badge they would understand why we had guns.” Jaejoong hissed at Onew. Onew snapped his head to him glaring angrily.

“Why didn't you? You are supposed to carry your badge to, ? Why didn’t you have it? You always have it when you try to pick up women.”

“Your just jealous cause I get women unlike you?”

We watched still laughing our asses off Jaejoong and Onew argued back and forth getting completely off topic.

“Oh my god. My stomach.” Kris and I breathed out.

I put my hand over my stomach trying to catch my breath again. I looked at my close friends with a smile. Junsu and Yoochun on the floor trying to catch their breath from laughing so hard then Kris trying to keep herself from bursting out into another fit of laughter as she attempted to stop the arguing two idiots in front us. I stared at Onew and Jaejoong still arguing about something stupid. Leave it to them to always make me laugh this hard. I felt the sadness that I experienced with the flashback temporarily leave me as I smiled. Temporarily locking the feelings away as I focused back to them. 

“Enough you guys. I don’t think I can handle anymore.” Yoochun breathed out while he and Junsu got back up to their chairs still breathing hard and holding their stomachs.

“He’s right. Onew. Jaejoong. I’m sorry, but next time don’t annoy me and follow me.” I warned. “ Remember what I told you before. Whatever pranks you do I will make sure to do 100x worse for you.”

“Yeah. Yeah. But remember we also went for a reason. To tell you important information.” Onew spoke seriously. I immediately quiet down as I turned to them seriously.

“Did you find anything else? What is that you wanted me to see?”  Onew and Jaejoong simply nodded at me.

Almost immediately the atmosphere changed from fun to quiet and serious. I let out a sigh as I looked around the conference room. The blinds on the windows are closed so no one out in the division offices can see us as they go on with their work. We sat on the large round table facing each other as the projector screen stood white and still waiting for picture to go on it. Junsu looked at his laptop with a serious expression as he nodded at us then pressed a button revealing what is on his laptop on screen on the projector for us all to see. Kris immediately lifted a remote pressing a button diming the lights in the room so we can see the screen better.  They assured me the room is secure before Kris spoke.

“The Korean agency broke into our network a few days after the accident in Russia. They only stole one document and one document only. From the looks of the encryption that Junsu and I tried to decipher they did it on the same day as Jongup’s existence was being erased. Same day as the mission was erased. “ Kris spoke seriously as she looked at me. The Korean agency broke into our network and took something before it was deleted?

“Did you find out what document it was?” I asked almost scared to. Could Jr be right about the south Koreans? Could they?

“Don’t even think about it.” Jaejoong hissed looking at me seriously. I looked up at him shocked. He and Yoochun looked at me as they shook their head. They sadness in their eyes evident as they glared. Junsu let out a soft sigh looking down in sadness. “Jr is not right about this. There is something else going on.”

“I didn’t say anything?”

“But you were thinking it. Look Alex we know how it’s like there from firsthand experience remember we used to be part of that agency.” Junsu breathed out in sadness. His dark eyes seemed to stare at me with such seriousness. Almost begging for me to listen. “They may be many things, but they would never compromise another Bureau’s mission. They would never join the North Korean’s despite what everyone believes.”

“I believe you.” I said softly. Then I focused my attention to Kris. She studied me with her light color eyes almost as if scared for my emotions about this. As if I was gonna break down. I breathed out softly holding in my emotions. I am stronger than this. It happened years ago. I need to focus on the mission at hand. I need to clear the South Koreans name and find Jongup’s killer. But something is fishy about what is going on here. And I will get to the bottom of it. Not only for South Korea but for Jongup. He deserves justice for what happened to him and I am ready for this. I can’t dwell and cry about the past anymore. I felt a fire burn in me as I stared at Kris with determination. She looked almost shocked then quickly hid it to show a genuine smile at me. I will not tell her about the flashbacks I have been having. No one will know. I will treasure these memories and embrace them and use them to help me. “What document did they manage to take?”

“This.” Kris finally spoke as she nodded towards Junsu.

 Junsu immediately moved the computer mouse to click on a file on the side of the screen. We all stared at the projector as the autopsy report of Jongup’s death went up on the screen along with my accident report. The fake one saying I was in a car accident with my boyfriend. It says he died due to a large fragment of glass stabbing him in the heart due to the impact of the crash, but we all know it was a lie. Even by looking at the report you can tell it was a fake for it didn’t go more in depth about the accident. Autopsy reports such as this are supposed to show a picture of the body and the crash site.

“The Autopsy report? But it’s pointless. Why pull this out? It’s fake. You can even tell.” I thought out loud.

“We also thought that.” Yoochun spoke up as he grabbed the computer from Junsu. I watched as he moved the mouse around the screen then typing some codes through the database pulling out files.  “ Why would they keep something so useless? Unless they are suspecting the American CIA was going corrupt?” I stared at Yoochun in shock. “Don’t act like it’s a surprise we have all felt something going on around here. Something bad.  Jr is not the same anymore since he took the lead position. He is secretive and careful. Too careful.”

“Lately we have had more break ins in our networks. They go through out firewalls with ease as they take out information. It’s not only the South Koreans.” Kris breathed out. She stood up as she walked next to Yoochun bending over him looking into the laptop. I watched as she took the mouse from him clicking on a folder. She typed in a whole bunch of hacking codes that I don’t understand. “ The Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans, and even Iraq have broken in only looking for a certain thing.”

“What?” I breathed out as I stared at the screen. I felt my heart beat in fear as I saw Kris type in the last code then everything they have been searching for popped up on the screen.

“You.” She breathed out in worry looking at me with slight fear. I watched in shock as all the files about me popped on the screen. All the missions I have taken. Reports I have filled. And most of all the Russian mission. Documents with access denied popped up on the screen. The Russian Autopsy report of Jongup up kept popping up over and over again. My eyes widen in fear as I could only stare.

“Why me?” I breathed out.

“Alex?” Onew breathed out calling my attention. “They are after the mission you took in Russia. The fact that the Autopsy report is the only thing that pops up the fact that they are searching for you could only mean that. Jr has erased everything about the mission even going as far as erasing Jongup’s existence. Either he knew someone was going to find something out or he is hiding something. Something from everyone even his own agents. Alex. What exactly are on the nuclear plans?”

“I- I don’t know? I never looked. It was a mission. We didn’t ask questions. Why?” I breathed out. I tried to remember what was on them, but I couldn’t all I remember was the events that lead to Jongups death. I felt my body shake as I looked at my friends in disbelief and confusion.

“Alex. They are after the nuclear plans. Jr has done something with the nuclear plans.” I shook my head upon Onew’s words. Then I remembered.  “Whatever was on those plans these countries want and the only way they can even get close to them is through you.”

“So you’re saying they are after me? The South Koreans? Russia? China? Iran? Iraq? North Korea?” I voiced out. My voice shook slightly. I attempted to clear my throat to become serious again. I am top agent of the Bureau.

“Don’t worry we won’t let them touch you! We won’t let them!” Kris growled as she started at me protectively along with Jaejoong and Onew. I shook my head at them. I don’t want them to die for me. I don’t want their protection. I can’t lose more people I care about. I can take them…Right? I then felt a pang of fear hit me. I can’t believe it.

“They are all not exactly after her. Only the South Koreans.” Junsu finally spoke up. I felt all eyes go on him. Junsu started typing away on the computer furiously biting his bottom lip in concentration. “Yesterday I decided to look more into the other Bureau’s that broke in. They all but one have one thing in common.”

“What’s that?” I finally asked knowing it was what everyone was thinking. Junsu looked at me with sadness then back on the computer breaking the firewall on Jr’s personnel folder. The one that he won’t let anyone in. Even the best hackers couldn’t break in with all the protection he has in it. All of a sudden a long list of bank accounts with money transfers in the billions showed up on the screen.

“All but the South Korean Agency have been sending money to Jr. I have found Mafia leaders and terrorist leaders on here...” Junsu said sounding tired. “This was the only file I managed to break in undetected on Jr’s server. The other’s are complicated I don’t know if I can get to them. Even this one took a lot of time and hard work to get in.”

“Jr…..Could it be that the South Koreans caught up to this and are investigating what is going on?” Yoochun spoke up. I felt my blood boil in anger as I glared at the screen with all the different numbers. I wanted to burn a hole through it. I want to kill.

“Also the mission in Russia was…” Kris spoke up stopping herself not wanting to say more. Everyone’s brains seemed to be clicking together. Everything makes sense now. The mission. The erased data. The fact that Jr wants me to find everything I can about Lee Joon is here then kill him. The fact that Jr has been sending people after me to watch me and follow me. The Zmeya leader disappearance. The fact they can’t Jongup’s body.

“Was a set up!” I growled out dangerously as I glared at the screen. The mission in Russia was supposed to kill both of us not just Jongup.
