"Yes Boss?"

My eyes take in the surroundings and I before I know it, a bucket of cold water is splashed on me. Coughing, I rapidly blink my eyes in attempt to remove the water.

"Iris," The voice whispered and I knew who it was. My dear boss.

"You've never failed to disappoint me and I hope this continues. Remember my words? I warned you to not go behind my back and perform missions since you can never clean up on your own. But you did," The man kneels in front of me making me getting a clear view of him.

"What new information do you have?" Upon hearing his question I let a victorious smile take over me.

"His sons know that he's an arms dealer. They are helping him with the busines, forcefully. You see they're threatened. He managed to gain the latest snipers and rifles from our neighboring countries. I'm quite afraid to say that he can now crush any country he likes just by his army of men," I end while wiping my face with a towel.

"What is your next plan Iris? I know for a reason that you will try to get close to him. So, I am ordering you to infiltrate him. Go and only return when you cause his destruction."

"So, what do you plan to continue Byeol?" The man I was sent to destroy- or my principal, spoke up.

Averting my gaze from him, I brought it to the small chip I held.

"I haven't planned anything as of now. It all depends on how well I score," I spoke too fast which made him listen to me intently.

"Can I have your phone? Mine is dead and I need to call mom," I ask and my face internally brightens up as he hands me his phone. I shift to the side and slowly drop the phone.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry give me a minute I'll fix it," I bend down and slowly insert the chip into his phone. This chip helped me transfer all the data he receives and to track his location, until he doesn't remove the chip.

"Here," I say now handing the phone to him to which he lets out a fake smile.

"Dad!" A yell is hear from upstairs which startles me. In less than a blink, loud thundering footsteps announce arrival.

"The Son's have fixed the deal and-" Jungkook pauses himself after seeing me. He purses his lips and sends his father a look. Now, the question is who is Son?

"Byeol you wait here we'll be back in a while. I have to fix an important deal," The eldest Kim informs and before I know it, both of them vanish upstairs leaving me with my trail of thoughts.

I take out my phone and open the app that was connected to the chip. There are voices all over, some muffled while some heard barely above a whisper. I move to my room and lock the door. Wearing my headphones, I carefully listen to the voices.

"Jungkook didn't you see her? What if she heard you?"

"Dad, I know. I'm sorry. But it was very important. Son Daejung, CEO of Son Corps. wants to meet you. He says he has proof on the $20 million that was stolen from your office. He claims that it's your assistant Kang."

"Kang? It can't be. . . he wouldn't dare to steal right under my eye."

"But he did Dad! He isn't just working for you. He's working for. . . "

My brows furrow deep, but there aren't voices of them anymore. I glance at my phone just to see Boss calling.

"Yes Boss?"

"Kang got caught."

"What? Who is Kang?"

"Kang is our most trusted man. He has been working as Kim's right hand for ten years. But he is now one of the suspects. Be careful Iris, they're after you next."

The call cuts and I have to take in a deep breath to process all the information.

"Byeol?" My eyes snap to the door, but to my relief it was locked. Clearing my throat, I place the headphones in the drawer and turn off my phone.

"Yes?" I call out once I opened the door.

"Your mom is downstairs. She is searching for you," Hoseok says and passes a small smile after I thank him. I follow him downstairs just to see Mom and. . . my principal flirting?

"Byeol!" Mom shouts cheerfully and embraces me tightly. I awkwardly pat her on the back.

"Don't make a scene in this house. They're going to be your stepbrothers," She pulls away and smiles widely but my smile has now long faded. I stare at her in disbelief but she avoids my gaze.

"So, now that everyone is present shall we do the grand announcement?" Mom laughs and nods at the principal's words making me internally gag.

"We are going to get married! The date is fixed I hope you all get along well,"

There was silence. Utter silence. I blankly stared at mom who was smiling so wide I bet her cheeks are starting to ache.

"What? When did this happen?" Jin asks making me smile as he asked the same questions I wanted to.

"A year ago. Then we realized we should take things further," My future step-dad says while holding mom's hand.

"Okay, enough chit-chat kids. Me and your mom have to go somewhere be nice to your sister!" He says and they both exit the mansion.

"So what happens now?" Taehyung asks looking at his brothers.

"I guess we have to get along well?" It's me who answers. Everyone's gaze turns to me, amused that I spoke up.

"You're right. We really have to," Namjoon says sending me a smile as if he was on my side.

They weren't that bad. But then again, what did they want from Hayoon?

"What do you all want from Hayoon?"
