Headquarters

8:30pm

 

"No, that doesn't seemed good if we will just randomly go. We should make a story." Yoona suggested after she heard Seohyun's plan.

 

"What story?" Minhyuk and Krystal both said in unison. Seohyun crossed her arms and ushered the doe-eyed to continue her suggestions.

 

Yoona pointed the younger agent and her. "We should go as a couple." though she knows her idea is so cliche. She always can see it on movies though - why not try in real life? This could be her advantage.

 

"What?" Seohyun exclaimed. "Why would we go as a couple?"

 

"So everyone wouldn't suspect that we are some government agents - whatnot." Yoona stated as a fact.

 

Minhyuk and Krystal looked back at their leader who seemed flustered when she heard the suggestion. The latter wasn't looking at them. Instead, she was staring down to the invitation card on top of the coffee table. She is thinking Yoona's suggestion.

 

"Besides, you can't capture him alone. He's so tall and yes... really masculine." Yoona sighed, staring down to Taecyeon's picture on her side. "If we will go together, we could team-up and really catch him."

 

Seohyun made a loud sigh before staring back to her friend, Yoona. She must admit, the suggestion surprised her - but it sounds a good idea. "Okay. We'll go as a couple." So she decided to agree. After all, it's just a mission. Nothing is wrong with it. "But in one condition."

 

"What?" Yoona got excited.

 

"You are going to be a man. You dress as a man and I will dress as a girl, of course." Seohyun stated firmly.

 

Yoona chuckles. "Are you kidding me? Even if you did not mention it, I'm still going to dress like a man. I'm your YoongBabes after all." She winked, earning a grimace look from her best friend.

 

"Agent Im, you really seemed liking Agent Seo." Krystal giggles.

 

"Like? Not just like Krystal, I love her." Yoona also giggled back, glancing over Seohyun and Minhyuk as well. Seohyun didn't even smile and reacted to what she said. Instead, she had a straight face. But why is she blushing? "Anyway, So that's it? What's next?"

 

"Let's go see Agent Lee." Seohyun answered in a monotone. She got up and ushered everyone to come and follow her out.

 

Yoona just smiled back with Krystal as they also got up and follow the leader. She seriously can sense it - Seohyun is affected with her constant show of affection but since other Agents are around, she's holding it. Besides, they're working. She definitely understand.

 

As they entered the lab, Agent Lee Sunny started introducing the devices they're going to use in the mission.

 

"Who's going to wear a spec?" Asked Sunny, showing one spec to them.

 

"Only one Agent Lee?" Seohyun somehow asked back.

 

"You already have your contact lens as your camera." Sunny stated as a matter of fact.

 

"Ah yeah." Seohyun sheepishly stand corrected.

 

"I think I'll use it then." Yoona volunteered right away. She took the spec and examine it first. She then wore it, and showed a thumbs up. "Its like mt magic spec." She was reminded by the donut, as she glances at her agent best friend. 

 

"The glass is already the camera it self. So don't break it. Um, the monitoring is already connected to our Van. So no need to prepare morw on this. Then, let's have this." Sunny then picked up another device from her long white table and showed it to them.

 

"Bubble gum?" Krystal and Minhyuk both exclaimed.

 

"Yes. Bubble gum but... " Sunny pause as she suddenly dropped it to an empty space of the table. Smoke suddenly appeared from it.

 

"Tear gas." Seohyun and Yoona both mutters.

 

"Exactly. If something happened to the mission, you guys can escape the event through this." Explained Sunny, as she handed a small paper bag, containing more bubble gums to Seohyun. "What will you guys do in the fashion show? I mean, any alias in mind?"

 

"I'm going to be the man and Seohyun a girl. Minhyuk and Krystal are our monitor team." Yoona informed, grinning.

 

"You are going to be a photographer while Seohyun is going to be your assistant. I think that would be interesting." Sunny suggested.

 

"I like the idea." Yoona and Seohyun have the same thing in mind.

 

"That's cool." Sunny then turned to her table again and picked up a make-up kit. She handed it to Seohyun. "You can use this as an alternative camera. And this." She handed another thing, a pen. "Well I think you already know about this. It's a gun. If that Taecyeon won't agree to go with you guys, you can shot him. Or, you can also make him sleep for 4 hours." She showed a lemon juice. "I've heard he likes lemon drink before and after a fashion show."

 

"That's a sleeping pills?" Krystal curiously asked

 

"More on that. It would make the person sleep right away once the first gulp reach her or his stomach. I can't demonstrate but its helpful." She gave the lemon to Yoona as well.

 

"That's it. Good luck guys. I'm sure this is going to be a success mission though. Agent Seo and Agent Im is leading for the first time." Sunny smiled brightly to them.

 

"Y-Yeah, for the first time." Yoona looked into Seohyun's eyes, the latter smiled at her and just walk away - leading them to another room.

 

Yoona, who immediately catch up on her after giving the devices to the two recruits, asked the latter. "Where are we going this time? Aren't we going to eat yet? It's dinner time, Agent Seo." She said, can honestly feel her stomach groaning already.

 

Seohyun suddenly stop when she also realized the time. She even heard Yoona's stomach, and it also followed her own. She turned to Minhyuk and Krystal behind them, "Um, Krystal, Minhyuk-ssi. You guys can put the devices on the van. Let's meet in the cafeteria." She said with a smile. The two younger aspiring agents bowed and then left to the two older girls.

 

"I'm glad." Yoona says, smiling back to the younger agent as well.

 

"I'm also hungry. We can not continue without food in our stomach, indeed." Seohyun feels like laughing for admitting it to her best friend. Well, it's the truth.

 

"Cool. let's go." Without a doubt, Yoona for Seohyun's hand and drags her gently to the nearest elevator. Their cafeteria is on the 2nd floor only, while their office and main offices is located securely in the first floor. Since their Agency is a secret Intelligence, inside a bank building, no one would ever know about the headquarters.

 

As soon as they are both in the elevator, Yoona let go of the younger girl and just pressed the button. 

 

"Yoong... " Seohyun decided to let loose. Especially that they're now alone. 

 

"Hmm?" Yoona just hummed, but looked at the younger girl with a bright face.

 

"Tiffany - Um... Do you remember anything when you are still courting her?" asked Seohyun in a soft voice and soft gazes. Though inside, she's curious at the same time.

 

"Yes. Um... " That time, I don't know yet that you do not like Luna. In Yoona's mind before she decided to continue. "It's... a bit awkward to remember, but I do remember all our adventures in the library." She sighed afterwards, reminding herself that she had done it with Tiffany in the library. 

 

Seohyun nodded slowly. "I see. How about when you guys are together already?"

 

"I don't remember a thing. I only can remember that I was courting her and other stuffs."

 

"Ahh, yeah... You and her got together when you were in LA branch already. You guys got more closer there and yes, got official." Seohyun just simply answered.

 

"Chincha? I only can remember the England Adventure. Everything about our training - it's all in my head." The doe-eyed grinned.

 

"Piggy Bank?"

 

Yoona showed two thumbs up. "Absolutely."

 

"Ugh. Even that thing." Seohyun can't help herself cupped her slowly reddening cheeks. She can't believe even that little thing, she would remember.

 

"Even the moments in the beach. Do you remember it? We always like to hang out there. Oh, I also remember about the ice cream - everything we always like to order in the cafeteria, it was so clear for me now." Yoona genuinely smiled. Even my feelings, it suddenly restored. Oh, this must be really destiny, Seobabes.

 

"There's nothing about the bomb yet?"

 

Yoona had a pause. She blinks for a couple of times and tried to dip on her latest memory, but she failed to remember even a single detail about it. "I'm afraid not yet. But don't worry, sooner or later, I'll get to remember it. I just needed time. Okay?"

 

"No problem. Take your time time Yoong. But, there are only sixteen days left. I just wanna remind you." Seohyun sighed, audibly. Though she's not the one who is having amnesia, she felt really pressured as well.

 

"Yeah, I know. I'm confident in the next day, there are new memories again." Yoona reassuringly smiled.

 

"I'm patient. I'll be waiting then."

 

Yoona gently held Seohyun's hand and give it a squeeze. The girl squeezed her back, as they smiled silently to one another. Both are aware with the situation they got in. And none of them are planning to quit. They're trained not to give up at any situation after all.

 

-

 

"Um, there's a rice in the corner of your lips." Seohyun reluctantly said to her best friend after she realized it while she's in the middle of enjoying her simple dinner with the latter.

 

Yoona took a tissue paper and gradually wiped it off, shamelessly staring at Seohyun.

 

"You seriously haven't change." Seohyun giggles when she noticed there was another one on the cheek. She took a tissue paper herself and wiped it off for her.

 

"Why? How do I actually eat?" Yoona creased her brows, blushing in the process.

 

"You are messy. Especially when you are so hungry. You are apparently right now, aren't you?" 

 

"We've been discussing about the mission for the past 2 hours. I couldn't help it." Yoona chuckled softly. She casually picked up her glass of juice and have some few gulps in the process.

 

"Yeah, Sorry about that. But we have to be well prepared before an action will take place."

 

"I know. By the way, I don't know my father  is actually investigating the accident?"

 

Seohyun had a pause look to Yoona. "How'd you know about it?"

 

"Well, it's on his office. I still have no desk in the Agency so I stayed there. I've seen this folder on top of his coffee table that has the pictures of me and Tiffany back in LA. You also know this?" Yoona creased her brows in curiosity.

 

"Yes. He told me about it recently. We don't know the cause of the accident so he thought of asking an investigator in LA."

 

"So how was it? You know Hyun, I am actually interested about this too. I feel like asking Tiffany is kind of, getting back to the traumatic accident. It might be a bad idea."

 

"You are just like your father. The best thing to do is to investigate it. Don't worry, we'll get an answer later. It's part of your past anyhow." Seohyun stated with a small smile crept across her face.

 

"Yeah, I thought so too. Oh wait a second." Yoona suddenly got up and rushed to the cafeteria's counter.

 

Puzzled, Seohyun turned her head behind and witness as Yoona received two plates from the staff. "Did she ordered something?"

 

However, when Yoona went back, "Tada! I got your favorite." The plates turns out to be slices of watermelon.

 

"Omo. Where did you get this?" Seohyun knew the Agency's cafeteria haa no watermelon. It's a surprised for hee that Yoona got this for her.

 

"I went outside right? It just happens that I spotted a store selling fruits. And one of them is this." Yoona proudly and happily informed.

 

"Aww... Yoona. You're really back." Seohyun was flattered. She seriously like watermelon that she can eat them without any kind of food. Its her favorite ever since childhood. "Thanks for this buddy." She couldn't help herself and call her by her usual nickname. Yoona's brows knitted, she stuck her tongue out and just return her attention to the slices of watermelon. She giggles as she take her first bite - like a child once again.

 

'Aigoo, the cute smile. I missed that.' Yoona smiled from ear to ear, watching Seohyun all happy just because of the fruit. And now she's planning to inclue it every after their meal. 

 

"Do you want to eat yours?" Seohyun asked, thinking of taking Yoona's share.

 

"No. I'm eating this." Yoona did not want to waste her own plate somehow. She smiled and also began enjoying her share.

 

"Tsk,tsk." Seohyun shake her head, as she then giggles, resuming with her own plate. 

 

Both end up having a competition to who will eat all the slices first. Then, after that, Seohyun ordered an ice cream for the both of them. They spend another 30 minutes in the cafeteria, with Minhyuk and Krystal joining them. 

 

Meanwhile, back in the main office, Onew who just got out from the comfort room proceeds immediately to his office. But just as he was about to enter his own office, he noticed the office is quiet. "Ahh, yeah - dinner time." yet, it hit him immediately. His eyes landed to Seohyun's desk right away - which lead to his notebook, inside his jacket. He never hesitated and rushed to his desk and was glad the backpack was on his leather chair. Quick, he put the notebook inside. He zipped it close successfully, which made him a sigh of relief. Yet, just as he was about to go back, his eyes caught something - a picture frame of him and his sister. They're so happy on the picture that it made his heart ache, considering his secret over the notebook. Sighing, he looked back at the back and to the picture frame. "I hope you won't hate me that much for hiding this, Hyun. I was just trying to protect you. But yeah, I almost forgot you are now big. It was surely a mistake that I forgot my little sister is now big. Not a baby anymore. I'm sorry my Dongseng." He softly utters to himself before going to his office right away - while holding back his tears back.

 

 

 

 

Im Residence

10:15pm

 

"I'm... " Tiffany paused when she caught the sight of Mr. Im, on the living room, having a cup of tea. "Home." Yet, she continued the moment the old man turned to looked at her.

 

"How was your work?" Asked Mr. Im softly, as he put the cup of tea on the coffee table.

 

"It's great. I'm having fun." Tiffany answered with a simple smile. She felt a little nervous with the way the old man is staring. "Um, Is Yoona already upstairs?"

 

"I went home first. She's with Seohyun apparently." Mr Im couldn't help it and squinted his eyes towards Tiffany. He noticed she got quiet and seemed bothered with something when he mentioned Seohyun's name. "Wae? Is there something."

 

"Nothing. I'm just tired and... I feel like I've missed a lot about Yoona already." Tiffany sighed, couldn't able to hide her real feelings. True, she was just a spy, but ever since then, she had grown to love her. And it hurts her that Yoona is always with Seohyun, now that the real mission is in the works.

 

"Well, you can't stop Yoona - she will be bored if she stays at home always. And Seohyun is just helping her to bring back her memories." Mr Im stated. "Do you mind joining me here while we are waiting for her to go home?"

 

"N-No, I'm okay upstairs Mr. Im. Um, kindly tell Yoona to visit me in my room instead?" Tiffany declines. Somehow, she would feel awkward if she stays.

 

"Alright. That's not a problem."

 

"Have a goodnight."

 

"You too honey." Mr Im flashed a warm smile.

 

Tiffany smiled back and bowed, before she went upstairs casually. Mr Im on the other hand resumes on his cup of tea. He also took the chance and opens his smartphone - in which, he received a message from the bomb squad, in regards to Yoona's explosive device. He put his phone back to the pocket of his jeans and picked up his cup, finishing it first before he walks into the kitchen. He proceeds to the basement right after he put the cup on the sink.

 

Meanwhile, Tiffany who walks out her room on her pink pajama minutes later Mr Im left, wonders where could the old man go. She thought he would wait for his daughter? It looks like she will do it instead.

 

But before she could take her place to the living room, she headed straight to the kitchen and got herself a fresh milk instead of tea. She went back to the living room and settle herself in the sofa.

 

While waiting, she decided to open the television. She frowns when a news program welcomes her. And expected, it's about the bomb that exploded two days ago. She can't believe it went really worldwide. But good thing and SMART doesn't really show themselves to the media. Only the police. Otherwise, she could see Seohyun. She wouldn't like that.

 

Changing the channel, she would rather watch a football game instead while waiting for Yoona. However, she sort of regretting it when she was reminded by Yoona playing that kind of sport.

 

Flashback...

 

"We shouldn't be here."

 

Tiffany had stop momentarily the moment she heard Yoona, stopping her from dragging her inside a football stadium. She looked her with a confuse look. "Why not? I thought you like watching this game?" She wondered why all of a sudden.

 

"I just don't like going somehow. I don't need to explain this." Yoona said and drags her out instead. 

 

Tifany struggled to go back but Yoona's hold is really firm and strong, she ends up being drag completely outside. But much to her surprised, Yoona suddenly hide them to a nearest bush when she saw someone? She was too unaware until she heard a familiar voice near them.

 

"Yeah, Oppa. I'm already outside. Ugh, you're still on the road? Fine, like I can go inside without you. You have my ticket after all."

 

Yoona and Tiffany pushed themselves up, peeking a little to none other than - Seohyun. Tiffany's eyes especially widened as she looked back at Yoona. No wonder she doesn't like to go inside. Seohyun also likes football - isn't she? She crouch down again and has no more mood.

 

"I'm sorry,I just have to avoid her." Yoona reasoned, crouching back, next to her girlfriend.
