I watched with Baekhyun at my side as the girl ran to her father. A tear escaped my eyes as I watched him hug her so tightly. Baekhyun patted my back as I tried to stop myself from breaking down because of my memories of my father.

"Y/N"

Both of us turned around to see our boss and also an intelligence agent like us, Jaebum standing there looking at us.

"We need to talk"

I took one last glance at the girl who smiled and waved at me before I left the room with Jaebum and Baek.

"Y/N, what the hell were you thinking pulling of something so risky like this?". Jaebum snapped at me the moment we were alone in the conference room.

"What do you mean?"

"You jumped out of the window with the kid on your back?"

"There was no other way to escape. That was my only choice. It's not like I could have asked the hotel guys to get a golf car for us and then drive us out of there"

"Shut up. Do you even know how big a mess it would have been if the rope snapped and one of you fell or if someone from the media saw this? They would have butchered us then and there"

"But nothing happened so.."

I could see how pissed he was so I shut myself up. "Y/N, I have had enough of your bullshit. I am calling for your demotion right here. You are dismissed from field duties as an active field agent until further notice. Until then you will work only as a information agent and no missions shall be assigned to you. Not only you, Baekhyun you too are dismissed from field activities. I am transferring you to the data collection department, good lucking collecting and storing evidences and writing reports"

Both me and Baekhyun looked at each other in terror. No this couldn't be. Any field agent would rather sacrifice themselves then become an informant, and no back office agent like Baekhyun would sit in the data department. We truly were fucked.

"JAEBUM THIS IS NOT FAIR, YOU CANNOT DO THIS",we yelled in unison.

"Watch me". He said it with a smirk on his face and I almost lept out of my seat to punch him in the face. It was only when Baek grabbed my wrist and restrained me that I sat back.

"Miss Y/N, is demotion not enough? Do you want a query on you for physically assaulting another officer?"

"Officer? You are not an officer. You are just a speck of dirt who doesn't even know what goes on in the field. After your promotion to squad head, all you do is sit in your air-conditioner cabin and bark orders us at us. Don't throw that term around so carelessly, it actually means something to some of us here"

I saw his eyes grow dark and his jaw clench. I smirked to myself knowing I had gotten that reaction out of it.

"Miss Y/N, your new job description will be given to you soon by Jinyoung. Don't screw this one up. I would hate to have you thrown out of the bureau then"

He looked at us one last time before walking out of that door and my fists clenched in anger. I hated this man.

"Baekhyun, I am sorry. I know you had no fucking clue and it was all my doing... he put you on probation because of me. I am sorry.."

"Y/N don't blame yourself. He was going to find a way to get at me anyway. We haven't been on great terms exactly. He just found this mission as an excuse. And also, I know you did what you had to. I would never question your decision". He smiled at me and I returned it. I could see through him though - he was really upset. For someone as restless and dynamic as Baekhyun, being confined to a small desk, running through something like dna results and organizing them alphabetically wasn't exactly fun. I knew Jaebum recognized what we despised and hence put us on tasks which would slowly suck all the fire from us.

"I am going to appeal to the upper ranking officials. I cannot let Jaebum get away with this. He is literally bullying us"

"Y/N, this job was given to us off records. If we appeal, an official inquiry will be held against us. What if the committee finds us guilty and decides to suspend us or worse, strips us of our rank?. I think we should be thankful to Jaebum that he didn't report us"

I was tongue tied. Baekhyun was right. Demotion and temporary dismissal was much better than being suspended.

"Anyway, I am going to get home now. Chanyeol will be waiting for me. He is super pissed these days because of how late I come home"

I grinned imagining that 6'2 giant getting mad. Chanyeol was my first cousin. I introduced him to Baekhyun when I came to know that the latter was gay and then they hit it off ever since. They were living together for the past 3 years as a couple very much in love and I couldn't be more happier for either.

"Tell him to come visit me sometime. It has been a month since I saw him. Plus if he is going to Busan to meet my aunt, tell him to bring some kimchi for me. I have run out of it"

"I will surely do that"

With that he gave me a big bear hug before walking out of the door. I sighed frustrated but quickly grabbed my bag and coat to head home.

Back in my apartment, I stood in the hallway as I saw what a mess it was. I hadn't been home in 16 days and it was all covered in dirt. Living alone surely was difficult if you were a field agent like me who mostly spent most days out on missions.

I put my laptop up as I secured the connection on my personal portal to the bureau. One by one notifications stared popping in. I munched on some crips as I went through them completely ignoring the piling laundry that had been pushed to the side.

An email from Jinyoung came in and I crossed my fingers.

Please be something good.
