Two days before the mission.

It was our last meeting before Taehyung left for his mission. Taehyung had qualified for the secretary's post at the Prime Minister's office and was supposed to join work from the day after tomorrow.We were sitting around Mr. Namjoon's glass toped office desk while he explained the details of our mission.

"As you would be wondering Taehyung", he said, " That who's going to be in charge of Mr. Jung Hoon's affairs while he's away. Well, he got a manager for managing all his shit and most probably he would be the one who will explain to you how to go about your work".

"And I'm supposed to work at Mr. Hoon's private residence and not his official residence? "

"Since he keeps most of his documents at his house, he wants his secretary to work at his residence which makes it this easy for us to get into his papers".

" Also I came to know, from resources I will not disclose, that Mr. Hoon got a Right Hand. Someone who directs him through his notorious works. As you would have noticed too, he's quite a naive person and it's not difficult to guess that there's always been a more matured brain behind his actions. I don't think you'll have the good luck of catching sight of this Right Hand but you must watch out for him. We don't have any such photo of him and we would really like to know who this mastermind is".

Turning towards me he said, "Y/N, I think there's nothing new which you need to learn and since you would be tracking Taehyung from our office, we'll always be there to help you when needed. Taehyung, you will be having secret pull out pager hidden inside your laptop bag through which you will send updates about your daily progress to Y/N via coded language.So Y/N,we'll meet again on Monday and till then goodbye".

" Thank you Sir" I said getting up, expecting Taehyung to do the same. But Mr. Namjoon said, "I need to explain some other matters with you Taehyung, so I'll be holding you back a while".

Taehyung nodded and I headed toward the door. As I pushed it open, I saw  the reflection on the well polished door of Mr Namjoon brushing  his hair back.

I parked my car in front of our apartment. Yes Taehyung and I live in the same apartment but our rooms are on different floors. After the incident with The Black Eagles, I left my previous job, a lot due to Taehyung's pleading and moved to South Korea again. He arranged for a room in this apartment for me to stay until I got a new job. But little did I know that he would make me join the NIS after finding out my 'extraordinary skills', as he would say, at hacking any type of code.

As I got down from my car, I spied hot french fries which were being sold at the cafe across the street. To tell the truth, I was feeling a bit disturbed about the mission and Mr. Namjoon's stressed face made me feel that something wasn't right. Maybe Taehyung's presence would have been of some help but even he's not here.

To pass my time a bit, I went over to the cafe and ordered a packet of french fries. Taking the packet from the man at the counter, I sat on one of the benches while backfacing the road. Once again I got lost in my thoughts when a hand from  behind grabbed a few fries from the packet I was holding. Shocked, I turned my head around only to see Taehyung peacefully munching down my fries.

"How dare you"!, I said pretending to be angry but actually being happy and relieved to see him back.

" What do you think you are doing? Come and help with my packing ", he said grabbing my hand and nearly draggingme into his apartment.

After closing the door he threw himself on the chair while loosening his tie.
"Atleast you should help me", I said noticing the unstrapped suitcase which was kept on his bed with all his clothes rolled in a mess.

" I said that I'll help you, not pack the whole thing for you ok? "I complained as I picked up the bundle to pack them neatly.
In response, I found two strong hands being snaked around my waist, pulling me closer to their owner.
" Taehyung, let me pack", I said trying to free myself from his grip, but only half-heartedly.
Without even caring to listen, he snuggled his head into the nape of my neck and said in his deep, husky voice"I'll miss you Y/N".

"I'll miss you too Tae".

The next thing I knew was that I was thrown back onto his bed with him hovering on top of me and staring right into my soul out of his dark eyes.
He pulled me into a kiss, and as it became rougher every minute, I felt his fingers unhooking my shirt buttons. I helped him unbotton his shirt too, causing a smirk to form on his face.

It wasn't the first time we made love so I was used to his feeling. But today I felt as if he is holding back. As if his mind his filled with an unknown fear, which made him want me more than ever.

The night was filled with our love for each other. He pulled out at last, and hugging me tight he said, "I love you a lot Y/N".
" I love you more", I said which made him smile. Somewhere deep within I felt that it was a painful smile. Before I could think any further, I found myself drifting into a peaceful slumber in his warm embrace.

Sorry for such a late update guys TT
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to y'all in advance! Stay safe and healthy. Ly❤
