I changed into an elegant two piece outfit to meet Sehun at a local bar where he had invited me for the discussion of the mission.

"Anneyong Ms. Lili, I didn't expect that you'll dress so simply, given that you're one of the most experienced spies out there. I'm quite impressed", Sehun said after a second of checking me out. "Experienced but not old. I'm guessing you perhaps thought I'll appear dressed as a catwoman in front of you?" I replied, trying to make the atmosphere light. "Your sense of humor is very good miss. Do you know why you're approached for this mission?" "Well no, but I can affirm humor is definitely one of the talents I have."

Being a Seductress also calls up for a number of skills, apart from seduction, ofcourse. Take me for example. I can speak around 12 languages with  around 8 different accents, I'm a karate and boxing champion, trained to use a fighter jet aircraft, and also I've served the military for 3 years. So yes, there's a reason why I have a 'reputation' in the world of espionage.

"Well definitely that counts as a point, but we especially need you because given account of all missions you've caught up with before, we think you're the only sparrow who can do it." "Thanks for believing in me, Sehun ssi? Now shall we proceed with what I have to do?" I was about to walk into one of the bar tables when his words stopped me. "Not now miss, your partner is yet to arrive. We're waiting for him so that we can discuss it somewhere private."

"Partner? You mean a raven? Sehun ssi, I generally prefer working alone. You must be aware of the fact too, which is why you didn't disclose the information earlier because you know I would've refused because of this." "Miss Lili, there's a very rational reason why a raven will be working with you. You can't do this mission alone, and you'll need him at some point. So I would request your cooperation."

I couldn't believe this nonsense. This was the exact reason I hated to work with private agencies. They always pair you up with a silly backup for no reason. And after the last mission, I wasn't sure if I will ever be comfortable of working with another raven--

"Ah, there he is!" Sehun's voice brought an end to my thoughts. I boringly turned to where Sehun was looking, and my eyes met a pair of brown orbs, despite the place clogged with a bunch of people drinking, smoking and gambling. It was a guy, around 6 feet tall, having brown locks, the same colour as his eyes. He was unconventionally dressed. Unlike other ravens who often wore formals, his muscular build was visible even through ripped jeans and jacket that he wore.

I was so busy gawking at him that I didn't realize he was already in front of me. He flashed a crooked smile, giving a bunny resemblance. There was something very different about him. We didn't even start a conversation and I found myself already fascinated by him. He looked...wow! Oh my god, why am I fangirling over him like this? Get your shit together, Lalisa. But....oh dear, this is gonna be difficult.

"Miss Lalisa, this is Jungkook, or agent Guk. He's your assigned partner for the mission." Sehun introduced me to him. "Anneyong Lisa ssi. I've heard of your successful career. It's an honour to work with you." His voice was heavenly. "Anneyong. Nice to meet you too. I hope we will get better once we start working." I timidly answered. I usually don't mess up with introductions, but I was feeling extremely nervous today.

At a private cabin in the bar:

We start on the couch and Sehun sitting opposite to us, with some papers and documents scattered on the center table. Sehun slid a photo card from one of the papers.

"Your target for this mission is Kim Taehyung." Sehun said pointing at the photo.

"Sehun ssi, isn't he the same dude who's making regular appearances over the media for the revolutionary project he's working on?" Jungkook asked trying to reminisce the face. "You're right,he's the CEO of Vantae Corp." Sehun started. "His company is working on a tonic or vaccine which will reduce the chances of developing cancer. He has been very secretive about this project, so we're afraid he might be developing a biological weapon in secret."

"Biological weapon? You mean a poisonous drug or virus?" I tried using my logic. "Exactly, he's a businessman and ofcourse he's after the fame, power and prestige. Such intentions might possibly lead to a global pandemic. My sources have informed me that he is preparing this 'serum' in his highly secured, impenetrable labs in Japan. Your mission is to closely associate with him, and get back the serum from his hands before serious consequences."

"Okay, but how are we going to approach him? I also suppose he's married?" I remember he was/is romantically involved with a famous singer-actress. "An engaged man to be specific. That's where raven will have a role. Taehyung is now engaged to Ms Sana, who is a popular celebrity. He'll allure Sana-ssi to create some friction in their relationship. You two will work together and separate the pair. Also, raven will assist you with technical support and work in the background while you step in and associate with Taehyung." Sehun explained.

"Taehyung had made an announcement that this 'revolutionary idea' could be aided if people come together in his support by donating some funds for the mass production. Lili, you will pose as a potential sponsor and credit funds that will be signed from our agency. Then you'll insist on working close with him and get romantically involved with him and seduce him into believing you. You need to keep him wrapped around your fingers and gain his trust, enough for getting you in the labs."

"Uhm Sehun ssi, I don't sleep with my targets." I was obviously uncomfortable. I agree my job is to seduce people, but I consider to do my job with dignity- the reason why I don't fuck with my targets. "This mission is very important Lisa ssi. We're not forcing you, but you may 'eventually' have to do it, if that makes a way to his heart and trust." I was pissed by this answer, but I decided I'll not loose my calm at the moment.

"I understood the points you've made Sehun. However, there's one thing I don't get, how do you know that he might be developing a weapon? None of his previous medicinal products have been questioned before, why now?" Jungkook abruptly broke in after sitting quiet for long, and his doubt made relevance. "Yes Sehun ssi, usually a client discloses the sources in the first meeting but you haven't presented any of them. How are we supposed to trust you and follow your guidance?" I pitched in.

"All I can say for now is that my sources are very reliable, however the information we have is classified. We're not sure if it's a world changing serum or a key to a deadly disease. You two just need to infiltrate the Vantae Conglomerate and gain access to their labs and get us the serum so that we cam perform tests on it. I'm assuring you, if the serum turns out to he completely normal, then you can yourself return it back to him safe and sound. So what do you think? Are you in for this?" Sehun looked straight into our eyes.

Now comes the most important part: to agree or not. The target could either be a pioneer with an innovation to change the world, or a man with malicious intentions of establishing dictatorship. The world was in the state of jeopardy and the responsibility to save it was in our hands. One wrong move and we lose millions of innocent lives. I glanced into Guk's eyes who patiently waited for my reply while biting his lips. Once I agreed, there was no backing out.

"I accept the mission."
