Chapter 5



Agent D.O and I stepped out of my unit to go to the location of my first mission. But before we walk towards the elevator, I stopped by Chanyeol's door to let him know that I will be out for uncertain amount of time when Chanyeol suddenly opens the door with his hair looking like a bird's nest.


"Why are you standing out here, Baek? Come inside."

"No it's okay. Did you have your breakfast already?"

"Not yet, I just woke up." He said with a pout, making me smile.

"I actually bought us breakfast but being the clumsy me I tripped and spilled everything." I half lied, obviously. No one would believe me if I say that a borderline psychotic cupid scared the heck out of me and that there's a warlock that hexed me that's why I sort of a cupid now, right?

"It's okay. You have gig today?" He asks, noticing that I'm not in my Sunday tracksuit.

"Uh... yeah."

"Okay, take care of yourself. Call me if you have time."

"I will. Don't forget to eat your meal, okay?" I said as I tiptoed to fix his bed hair, him smiling like a cute little boy to his mom whenever she pats him on his head.

"Noted."

"Alright, I'll go ahead."

I turn my back after we waved goodbye and walk towards agent D.O, who I notice wearing a creepy smile on his face.

"That's you're best friend, Park Chanyeol." He said as a matter of factly.

"Yes. How did you know?"

"I have your profile, right?" He snickers. "Are you sure that you guys are just best friends?"

"Yes." I answered, sounding a little irritated. I swear he's trying to imply something about me and Chanyeol.

"Do you know that you two look like married couple who doesn't want to be separated with each other?"

"Excuse me?!"

"Baek?" It was Chanyeol. He still standing outside his door. "Who you're talking to?"

"Him." I pointed to my side, to agent D.O.

"Him? You mean that cat?"

"A cat?" I'm in total confusion.

"Yeah. You're adopting him? But I thought you're not fond of cats?"

"He doesn't see me." Agent D.O whisper.

"Oh he's chattering! What a cute little cat." Chanyeol said with a smile then do the ekekekek sound. He looks stupid seriously, ugh!

"Uhh... Well... People change?" It's a lame excuse. I know.

"Alright. But shouldn't you put that munchkin in a carrier at least?"

"A munchkin?"

"That's how mundane people sees me. It's an illusion." Agent D.O says.

"Yes, that was it's breed called, Baek. I don't think I've ever saw an all-black munchkin cat though, cool!" He said and he's now walking towards us.

I panicked and lift agent D.O in my arms. Shit he's heavy!

"Aww look at you two! He looks so small in your arms, so cute!" Chanyeol gushes.

I look up to meet agent D.O's eyes while he's looking down at me with his hand grabbing my hair. I'm guessing that in Chanyeol's perspective, is seeing me me holding a small cat in my arms when in reality I'm trying my best not to stumble and fall while holding full grown man.

"Uh, I really need to go now, Yeol. I'll see you later!" I said and run towards the elevator, not wanting for Chanyeol to go near us.

I was gasping for air as the elevator descends while agent D.O is laughing his ass out while slapping his thighs.

He really finds my misfortunes entertaining!

***

I parked my car on the opposite side of the road of a small yet cute flower shop around Goyang. The store is painted with white with a simple, black V logo with a small red line on the right side. It's like the letter V mimics the lapel of a suit jacket and the red line is for its breast pocket. Very minimalist but looks sophisticated.

Both agent D.O and I noticed that there are girls flocking just outside the shop, craning their necks left to right. I look at the picture of the first person we need to meet on my new tablet. The guy is really good looking so it's no wonder why girls would want to see him. And by the looks of it, we, or rather I, will have a hard time to talk or even meet one of the candidates. i could only sigh.

"You two could be mistaken as dopplegangers." Agent D.O breaks our silence, the surrounding of his mouth is slightly covered sugar as he's eating some twisted donuts.

"I just hope that after this day my car seat won't be covered with sugar." I retorted.

I look at the shop again and notice that a black car parked in front of the said flower shop. A guy with wearing a mask and black snapback stepped put of the said black car and just stand in front of the shop's glass door and said, "Okay ladies! I appreciate your adoration to the store owner but you're starting to scare him that's why you can't see him anymore!"

I look at the ipad in my hand and back to that the guy who's trying to shoo the fangirls away.

"That guy is the shop owner's match and they're best friends, too." Agent D.O said as if trying to insinuate something.

"Best friends? Wouldn't it be awkward if they got to separate? I mean--"

"Why we're you so pessimistic with love? Besides they haven't even decided what their relationship would be and you're here seeing them breaking up already? I'll be honest with you, you're in deep shit to have that kind of mindset."

"You don't know anything about me so shut up!" I said annoyingly.

"You also don't know about their future so shut up." Agent D.O said and bites his twisted donut.

I can't clap back at him because as much as I hate to admit it he's right about me doesn't have any clue about their future.......... but why still forcing them to be together if the possiblity of breaking up and their friendship is on the line if that happens?

"To answer your intrusive thoughts, it's not for you to decide whether they'll split up or not. We're not here to intervene but rather to help them to get courage to be with the person they love. I'm fully aware of the reason why you think that love is just a waste of time and effort. Not every love story is beautiful, that is true, but just because ones love story didn't end up well doesn't mean that yours will also lead the same path.

My eyebrows are knotted together. I don't appreciate that he knows something about me when I don't know a single thing about him. This is unfair!

"Besides, being in a relationship is not just all about happiness but rather, riding the ebbs and flows of every part of your relationship. It's not about fulfilling your satisfaction to be with the person that you like, but rather wanting to be with the person in every part of their life - being it good or bad - because you love the person. If you and your partner neither argue nor got jealous, that is not normal and that's too good to be true if you ask me. Relationship is not about boasting to people how you maintained the 'happiness' with your significant others, it's how you both work out your differences and to look back at your adventures in life together, still hand-in-hand no matter what happened, and to fulfill your vows to each other, until your hair turns grey and your skin becomes wrinkly." Agent D.O said while looks straight to my eyes, not even blinking.

I just kept quiet. I don't have anything to say to his rants. I don't understand why he's so worked up-- wait a minute!

"Do you read people's mind?"

"Only high ranking cupids can do that, and I have long way to go be like them. You on the other hand is like an open book and you don't bother to hide it anyway. It was written all over your face."

Sigh. I seriously don't know anymore.

Agent D.O and I waited a few more minutes, probably about twenty minutes or so, before all the fangirls leave the shop. It is only now that we realized that the flower shop that the door sign OPEN was up, but the door is actually locked. I guess the owner, Kim Taehyung, is really scared of his fangirls.

Agent D.O pulled my shirt behind and gesture his head to follow him. He leads me to the back part of the shop and saw that the people we're looking for are chatting while eating some fries and burger.

"I told you to just hire an assistant and florists, and just move in with me. I got a bigger apartment so that you can live with me and be far from those crazy fangirls, but you're so stubborn, seriously!" The guy, Jungkook, said.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I don't want to be a burden to you?" Taehyung answered nonchalantly.

"How many time do I have to tell you that you're not and will never be a burden to me?"

"You're already tired from your practice games and your tour game is in few weeks--"

"And I don't see how you'll be a bother to me. My mind will be at peace knowing that you're far from those fangirls who kept on stalking you while I'm away."

"See? I haven't move in yet but you're already bothered by me."

"Why do you keep on insisting that you're a bother? Don't you think that it will help me a lot to ease my mind if you're with me?"

Taehyung stopped chewing and look intently at the guy in front of him who has the same intense look as him. I don't know why but Jungkook kinda remind me of someone. Like, the scene before me is somewhat familiar yet the feeling is a little foreign at the same time.

"Excuse me!" I look at the guy who breaks the tensed air - it was none other than agent D.O. "Sorry if we disturb you, but my friend and I wanted to buy some flowers for our project."

My eyes is about to pop out of the socket as I look at the guy incredulously...... 'They can see him now?!' And the guy has the audacity to wink at me!

What is ever is going on right now, I have zero idea!
