"Hey! It's been a while. Aren't you the busy one these days?" Donghyuck smiled as he made it onto the street, following Wonwoo swiftly.

"Ehh~ not much. Just doing normal agent things. Stanning K-pop groups and visiting my cousins garbage and sewer."

"Oh my gosh!" Donghyuck laughed. "You're so eager to call yourself trash!"

"That's just me," the girl on the device replied. "You know me, of course."

"Definitely..." Donghyuck looked up and took in the magnitude of how big his new workplace would be.

"Well, let's get to the shit!" The girl said. "Hello agent 303. As you know, your mission is to infiltrate and investigate the southern business top, Lee Minhyung, under suspicion of assassination plans and illegal activities. No force should be used unless necessary. Objective should be to find evidence, not eliminate target. You will apply for 'meeting assistant', and investigate until further notice. Is that clear, agent?"

"Got it Sol," Donghyuck took a deep breath.

"Oh, one more thing," Sol said calmly. "Your name is Lee Haechan for this mission. We cannot risk anyone recognizing your name since you were in the newspaper when you were born. Clear and confident?"

"Clear," Donghyuck said a bit reluctantly. "Not so confident though..."

"I'm here," she said. "If you need help, I'll do anything in my power to save you."

"Thanks Sol..." Donghyuck exhaled a bit in reassurance.

Cheong Solhee.

Preferably called Sol.
She was a communications specialist at The Mirror, but also did missions as well. She was around Jisung's age, but in terms of maturity and knowledge, beat him by a long shot.

She was a psychopathic genius, according to psychologists. Sol was quick and creative. She had a unique mind and thought about the world in many ways others wouldn't.

Donghyuck met her a few years ago when Dawon introduced her to him. She was short and fit-looking. Though she dressed like a business professional, she was extremely funny and quirky when not on the job.

She was easy to talk to and dependable.

Having her along for the ride relaxed Donghyuck but didn't really change that he was still in this huge mission.

"Okay Haechan, I'll be here when you need me," Sol said sincerely. "I know you're nervous, but trust me. Don't be afraid. When you're out of options, the best defense is to attack."

"Okay..." Donghyuck slipped a small smile as he and Wonwoo arrived at the front doors of the building.  "I'll update you later, Sol."

"Better bitch," Sol giggled. "If you don't, I'm coming for you."

"Agent 303, communication end. Device lockdown," Donghyuck tapped his earpiece and looked back at Wonwoo.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Mmm... No but..." Donghyuck stared at himself in the reflection of the large glass doors. "I'll give it a shot."

Donghyuck had never felt so uncomfortable before.

Here he was, sitting in a room of people chatting endlessly with eachother.

And there he was.

Sitting in the corner.

Trying to go unnoticed.

Men well into their forties conversed with their alumni. Women discussed their lives together. Younger job applicants made cheerful small talk with eachother.
