ANOTHER MISSION ㅡ chapter 08

"YOU'RE READY FOR THE MISSION TOMORROW HWIYOUNG?" dawon asked the latest recruit, sipping on his milkshake.

the rangers has just been finished with today's shift and are in min's café for a little preparation talk.

a lot has happened under the past three weeks. the head commissioner has not yet recovered, hwiyoung is fully ready and trained and they'll engage in the next mission tomorrow.
it will be in a penthouse in jeju island. the penthouse is owned by miss chiu, an owner of a famous airline.
according to the main division, they've spotted suspicious people entering the penthouse complex. one of the people were identified as a styna.
an assassination is planned for miss chiu's arrival.

all four of them have gotten close to each other and has always been together at work - especially on training of course.
they teached hwiyoung their techniques and tactics that would make things easier for the four of them.

"ugh, when is my coffee coming?" inseong whined, looking around the almost empty café. it's almost five o'clock, yoonji isn't here because she's at her main branch in daegu.

"here, i'm very sorry-" a waitress said, hurriedly walking towards their table with a tray of his coffee and the pastries.

"no it's fine, really - uh slow down a bit miss." inseong politely said, helping the waitress in distributing the plates of cakes they ordered.

"and here's your coffee sir." the waitress chanted, shakingly taking the heavy cup and slowly placing it down the table.

suddenly, a push from a running kid who just entered the café made the waitress stumble a bit forward and spilling the coffee's contents onto inseong's blue dress shirt, making him stand up due to the high temperature of the liquid.

the waitress gasped and immediately made a ninety-degree bow, mortified in what she had just done.

"sir, i'm very very sorry. it's my first day of work i-"

"no no it's fine, really." inseong politely said, genuinely not minding it at all.

"no please, let me help you." she said, grabbing a tissue and wiping the cream off the blue shirt. "... i'm very very sorry sir.." her voice was trembling.

"if there's anything i could do i-" inseong looked up to meet her eyes. they were golden with the sunset's rays hitting them. she looks oddly familiar - at the same time not.

her face is a soft square with apple cheeks and a few zits here and there. her nose is flat and her eyebrows were unruly.

his eyes then fell down to her nametag.

cheon jinsoo - noted.

".. sir, we have a washing machine in the locker room. please let me wash it really quick!" she asked, guilt radiating off her aura. "i would really not settle down as long as it's not clean as new."

"no it's really fine-"

"sir please.."

he saw the determination in her eyes. he looked back the guys who only shrug.

"yeah inseong, your girlfriend might break up with you if you show up like that on your date later on." hwiyoung joked causing inseong to glare at him while dawon and rowoon laugh.

"shut up guys." inseong said.

"take him away miss." dawon reassured both inseong and the waitress.

"i promise it won't take long." she told them, bowing and started leading inseong. "this way please."

inseong followed behind the waitress as she opened the door to the locker room, still focused on wiping off the cream from his shirt.

"miss, it's really okay. i can just wash it at home." inseong told the lady who was reaching out for something from one of the lockers beside him.

"miss?" he called for her attention when she didn't respond.

a swift movement and a swish of air coming to his face made him immediately step back, narrowly avoiding the ridiculously fast punch.

he caught one of her wrist and held it tightly, facing the lady right away with a confused face.

no guilt was seen in her expression but a smirk, identical to baron's, was plastered on her face.

then that's when it clicked.

"i knew it. i knew it was you the moment i saw your eyes." inseong said through gritted teeth.

"oh you flatter me." her voice went from shy light pitched to low and menacing.

just like victoria's.

inseong had no time for observing the change and that he was proven when she used her free hand to throw another accelerated punch. the ranger was successful to avoid it again and grab her other wrist too.

in one quick motion, inseong pulled them to her back and holding them tight whilst roughly pulling them back.

"came to rescue your mate? well you got the wrong address." he taunted cause he felt like he just had to.

this only made the waitress - no - victoria - to chuckle.

"that isn't in my agenda right now." this made inseong confused - which was a very bad choice.

in no time, she had used the wall as a booster to lift herself up and flip back at the right momentum, landing right behind the ranger.

a pinching pain struck inseong's neck - a dangerously familiar sensation. sudden fatigue took over his body, making him numb as his eyelids went heavy.

he heard a sound of his body collapsing on the floor with a thud as his vision slurred and blurred.

"goodnight~"

EDITED.
