|Chapter 12

Deoksim watched her superior, commander Xiao Zhan talking to someone through the phone. His well suited body was back facing her. She had absolutely no idea about this mission she is about to go.

Do not question me. Just keep quiet and follow my orders. That's all you gotta do.

His voice rang in her head. She wasn't an idiot to go rebel against his orders. He was way experienced in this field than her and she determined to learn every possible thing from this man.

She never imagined that this would be a mission outside the country but then again,commander zhan was a black agent. His jobs were not limited to the country but beyond lands and oceans. She looked around the airport catching few girls checking him out.

"Let's go"

She jumped in surprise when he suddenly appeared next to her. He grabbed her wrist hustling through the crowd. He covered his bleary eyes with black shades and Deoksim's eyes followed this little action.

He is handsome,she thought.

On the way,he gave her a ring to wear. She noticed a matching ring on his ring finger. She wasn't needed to say why. As a red agent,she had already guessed what he implied by the rings. A married couple. To deceive the eyes which will be turned to them,they had to put a little show.

Without a word,she wore it. She felt his hand wrapping around her waist. For a moment, she frozen but immediately recovered from the little heart attack.

"Are we being watched?",she mumbled leaning closer to his ear.

"Might be",he replied and sped up going to the check up before entering the plane.

They sat on the business class seats. Deoksim received a seat near the window and zhan was next to her.

"Budapest? Why there?",she questioned cautiously looking around.

"What were my orders before bringing you?",He asked with an indifferent look. He is really cold and stiff. He totally wasn't Deoksim's style but she had to put up with him.

Of course his order was to keep quiet and not to question. She sent a small glare before looking away. "Then you better protect me when something unexpected happen",she mumbled feeling quite irritated.

"I will"

She didn't expect him to answer but his answer somehow softened her irritated mind. His tone wasn't rigid when he answered and she liked the tone he used. But it wasn't soft either.

She was silently gazing the outside. It was quite unusual for her to keep quiet and it made Zhan gaze at her from time to time. Her talkative chatter box mouth was fully sealed. He nodded to himself approving her silently. She wasn't a maniac when it comes to serious job.

"We are gonna go ransacking. You need to back me up. Can you?",He whispered right next to her ear.

His breath fanned against her neck sending chills on her skin. Nevertheless, she kept a calm face. Phew,atleast he said something.

She did an okay sign with a big grin like she was the best expert in this kind of works.

He looked away with a ghost smile plastered on his face.

Deoksim felt herself dozing away but she tried her best to keep her eyes wide open. She tried her best. At the end,she didn't even know when her eyes closed the view. In her sleep,she shifted a little to find a comfortable position but her neck was aching badly. Twitching her face,she moved her head here and there with a light whine.

Buy soon,she felt her head being placed on a comfortable pillow or something. She could hear a small melody of a heart. She smiled hearing to the lullaby of beats and drifted into a comfortable dream. The warmth was enough to keep her warm. Dad,her mind automatically thought.

Seokjin fell onto the nearest couch with a stiff expression. He slowly looked up to see his brother Taehyung. The ghastly news he brought was tragic

"This can't be true",he whimpered.

Taehyung sat next to him with hands on his forehead like the world is coming to the end. "I can't believe this either"

"Is there anything we can do?",Seokjin looked terrible like he is in the verge of crying.

Taehyung shook his head. "Nothing. Sol-ah left to investigate it on her own. But I don't think that's why she left"

Jin nodded agreeing to him. "I think so too. She ran away. She ran away to keep us safe"

"That's what I think too"

Jin felt numbness taking over his body thinking about his sister."Is she the only one who investigates it?"

"No. An agent is appointed to investigate it as Bogum said. Sol-ah had sent an sos to the head quarters. It seems like she is in a big trouble"

Jin felt all his blood rushing to his head. "What if she failed? She has no time! What if she — Taehyung, it's dangerous!"

Taehyung,"I know hyung. If it goes wrong,we might lose her again. Forever"

Jin leaned against the couch closing his eyes. He still couldn't believe what was happening. He wondered if he should speak with the rest but it would stir up more troubles.

Sol-ah wasn't really born for freedom. She was born to be a villain. Jin thought that they changed her fate but nothing could stop the fate if it decided to be stubborn. It really liked to toy with Sol-ah's life. It had determined to wake up the sleeping monster in her. Maybe it had already woken up the monster.

"Let's keep it as a secret for the time being",Jin said giving a glance to Taehyung who looked back with a solemn face. "Specifically Jungkook. He shouldn't know about this as it might affect him the most. She is his twin after all"

Taehyung nodded. Jungkook was the most overprotective one when it comes to Sol-ah. After the childhood incidents, he wouldn't dare to let anything happen to her again. He would rather put his life on the line than getting her hurt.

"But hyung,Bogum said something else too"

Jin felt his heart drumming near his ear. Taehyung's voice was void of emotions but it only gave a gruesome feeling to him.

Taehyung raised his head and looked at him with a hooded look.

"She had given the orders to kill her if she passed her limits"

Deoksim was clinging onto Zhan's body as he had ordered. As they entered the hotel in Budapest, they were welcomed by the receptionist.

Deoksim's sleepy droopy eyes caught the receptionist trying to flirt with her commander. She frowned. Didn't she see me clinging onto this man? Aww,poor girl. Deoksim wrapped her both arms around Zhan's waist hugging him as tight as possible. She quite had the rebellious mind since her childhood. She liked to create drama to erupt funny reaction from people.

She was bored as fuck so she wanted to have a little fun.

Zhan was a bit startled by Deoksim's actions but nevertheless he let her do whatever she wanted. Deoksim deliberately put Zhan's arms around her and winked at the receptionist tucking a hair strand behind her ear showing her left ring finger.

The receptionist was flustered with Deoksim's too much acting.

Zhan awkwardly smiled before taking their key cards.

Their bags had already been taken care by a bellhop.

As they were on their way to the elevator,zhan wrapped his hand around her waist keeping her close to him and whispered, "What was that?"

"What?",she asked like she did nothing just now.

"Just now,what were you doing infront of the receptionist?"

They entered inside the elevator. Deoksim tried to get separated from the glue like grip but to her astonishment, he pulled her again. She gasped feeling his face near her face.

"You didn't answer",he whispered to her ear.

She gulped hard feeling so hot. She wondered if the hotel stuff switched off all the ACs. But then suddenly she blinked few times wondering what the fuck is she doing. Soon enough, she went back to her usual crack head mode pushing his face away like  she witnessed a poisonous snake. "Dude! Personal space. And I was just trying to show off my wedding ring to her. She is too annoying. Seriously, she saw me but she ignored me like a used bubble gum! Huh!"

Zhan massaged his jaw sending invisible glares to Deoksim while listening to her nonsense. He was sure that her nails might have scratched his face with her push.

"Okay okay woman. Calm down. I'm all yours till this trip end"

Just then a ting sound came indicating that they had reached their floor.

He walked out without waiting for her reply but he could hear her shouting.

"Hey! That's not what I meant! Hey husband! Listen! Wait for me!"
