"Isn't this a bit casual for a job interview..?" Donghyuck asked.

"Nah. You're only applying to be a meeting attendant. You just need to be good looking and wait hand and foot on the CEOs when they talk. Don't worry about looking professional."

"Fine. How are you even sure they'll hire me?" Donghyuck asked with a sigh.

"Mmm..." Jaemin smiled in thought. "Let's just say... ...the managers are perverts!"

"What?!" Donghyuck yelled.

"I'm just kidding!" Jaemin laughed. "But I'm serious. We did some research, and the company is extremely picky with even lobby staff. Everyone there is attractive. I swear, some workers there are trafficked."

"But then how does that make me get in?"

"I'm saying you'll get in 'cause you're attractive, Einstein."

"You're sure no one knows your face?"

Donghyuck was in the back of a neat little car with average looks. In the driver's seat, Wonwoo was interrogating him casually.

"Yeah I'm sure," Donghyuck played with his sleeves. "I didn't go on TV or exposed myself to the public. I didn't like to live like that... You know?"

"Well you're lucky," Wonwoo turned the wheel. "I think the top sent you because you've never been on a job before, Donghyuck. No one knows who you are. Not even the past targets."

"I guess..." Donghyuck suddenly started to sweat, thinking about how things would go when he got there.

His throat got drier and drier as buildings he knew well turned into large twisting roads. He shifted uncomfortably as the southern buildings of Seoul started to pass him by.

Large.
Icy.
Unknown.

He was a ray of sunlight lost in the chilly tundra of underworld traffickers.

"I'm confident you can fend for yourself. You know the rules. No major moves with no consent. Be ready at all times. No identity reveals to your enemy or even a comrade..." Wonwoo went on, navigating swiftly through the traffic.

Donghyuck nodded hollowly, still nervous about the whole ordeal.

"You know it well," Wonwoo finished. "No emotional sympathy to our targets."

"Yes hyung."

After twenty minutes, Wonwoo stopped his car. They were now parked in a modernly beautiful spiral parking lot on the third tier. From the parking lot, Donghyuck looked out and could see the gianormous building across from it.

Intimidating.

"You okay there...?" Wonwoo frowned at the frozen boy, looking overwhelmed while in a dazed state trying to get out of the car.

"...--oh. Yes..." Donghyuck quickly remembered that he had a job to do.

Wonwoo shrugged it off.

"Okay, please check your hearing aids," Wonwoo said.

'Hearing aids'.
A.k.a, Donghyuck's earpiece.

Donghyuck nodded and mentally slapped himself to focus.

He casually started walking with Wonwoo while he tapped the device in his ear.

"Agent 303 here," Donghyuck mumbled quietly.

"Good morning," a familiar voice said. "Entry password?"

"Oops, I forgot,~" Donghyuck sang.

"Entry confirmed. Wassup, Donghyuck!" The voice cheerfully spoke through the ear piece.
