Chapter 5
Soohyun and Baekhyun had to take two trains and two ferries to get to Jeju Island.They wanted to go by airplane but Joonmyun didn't let them as the two of them need to bond with each other if they wanted to work as a team.Both Soohyun and Baekhyun were highly displeased by the idea of bonding over train and ferry rides.But they couldn't do anything.
It took them a whole day to reach Jeju Island due to ferries being delayed.And the whole trip Baekhyun and Soohyun managed to talk or do a little chit chat.Its not because they wanted to,they had no other options.Their phone batteries had died and there was no other way to pass time rather then have a conversation.
Soohyun managed to hold a conversation with him without getting too annoyed by him or revealing anything about her personal life.They talked about things they liked and disliked.Turns out that Baekhyun really likes guns and motorcycles.Bikes are his everything.They also talked about food they liked.They both got weirdly passionate while talking about food. Baekhyun did most of the talking.He also talked about his gang members,funny stories and all.Turns out he's a talkative person if you spend enough time with him.
All in all Joonmyun's plan was successful as they could bond a bit over this journey.
When they reached Jeju,they were really tired.And it also was quite late.So they decided just to go sleep and start their mission the next day.They were staying at Joonmyun's house in Jeju.He has a house everywhere in Korea.As expected $uho.
Being really tired,they fell asleep that night really quickly.
They started their mission the next noon.They were given the task to get Mark Lee,a genius hacker.Even though Mark is really young he is amazing at what he does.Both Baekhyun and Soohyun didn't understand why they needed another hacker when they had Jongdae.But Joonmyun said it is because he has previously worked for different mafia gangs in Busan.He could come for great help.Jongdae was searching for him for so long and has finally found the exact location he is currently staying in.He changes locations often so they have to be quick.
Baekhyun and Soohyun arrived at the area Mark lives in.He lives in a small apartment in a quite area away from the beach.They didn't have much information about Mark So they don't know how to convince him.
"Do we just show up at his doorstep and ask him to join us?"Soohyun asked.
"What else can we do?"Baekhyun asked.
Soohyun didn't reply just stared at the small building in front of them.Apparently Jongdae was really precise in giving them his location.Mark lives at the 3rd floor of this building.
"Let's just go and try our luck,"Baekhyun said.
"I'm not really good at talking,so you do most the work,Okay?"Soohyun said.
Baekhyun looked at her,"You think I'm good at talking?"
"Judging by the last 2 days,you seem to be good at that."
This irritated Baekhyun,"I only talk when I feel comfortable enough...."He stopped mid sentence and looked at Soohyun.Why did he say that?Was he crazy?
Soohyun smirked,"So you feel comfortable with me?"
Baekhyun was embarrassed.He quickly changed the topic to appear less embarrassed,"Should we keep chitchatting while our target gets away?"
Soohyun smirked again,"Ofcourse not,Sir.Let's get going."
After a few minutes of ringing the door someone opened the door slightly and peaked out,"Yes?"The boy that opened the door asked.
"Are you Mark Lee?"Baekhyun asked.
The boy fixed his glasses,"Look if you came hoping that I'll hack someone for you then I'm sorry.Im taking a break currently.Reach out after 3 months."With That Mark was about to close the door.
"What a rude kid,"Baekhyun said and stopped the door with his foot and told Mark,"listen kid,I really am not in the mood of fighting.So why don't you just let us talk to you?We really just wanna talk."
Baekhyun opened the door with his foot and got in Mark's house.Soohyun followed him in.Soohyun was impressed by the strength Baekhyun's foot has.
Mark saw that he had no other option and he was a bit intimidated by Baekhyun so he decided to listen to what he had to say.Soohyun just stood leaning against the wall while they talked.She first tried to listen to their conversation but lost interest after a few minutes.It was just Baekhyun telling some parts of their plan and Mark refusing to join them because he's taking a break and working for such huge mafia groups is scary.
Soohyun looked carefully at Mark.She found out that he has a habit of fixing his glasses often and laughing nervously a lot.Soohyun smiled as she found these habits really cute.
She also looked around Mark's apartment.It was a small studio apartment.Half of the room is filled with video game consoles and PCs.He also has video game posters all around his home.On a corner there is a tiny bed and a sitting area where Baekhyun and Mark were sitting at.
After sometime of talking to Mark,Baekhyun was getting pretty angry.Why won't this kid listen?Baekhyun was on the verge of bursting out of anger.But right then he heard Soohyun say something,"Isn't that Warzone?"
That got Mark's attention.Baekhyun also turned to see what she was talking about.Turned out she was talking about the game he was playing on his PC before they came in.It was now paused.
"You know this game?"Mark asked Soohyun.
"Of course,I know.It isn't that popular yet but it's a good game."
"You are right,it's an amazing game.It deserves so much more attention..."
Then Baekhyun saw Mark and Soohyun go through a huge discussion on gaming and video games.Its weird, She didn't talk this much on the train with him.Now she's talking to a random boy she just met?There's something wrong with this girl.And she didn't even come across as a gamer type.
"...if I could meet the maker of warzone once,I'd have no regrets."Mark said.
"You wanna meet him?"Soohyun asked.
"Of course.I've played all the games he created and loved every single one of them.I want to creat games like him.He's my role model."
"Well,I can help you meet him."Soohyun said.
This got Baekhyun's attention.What is this girl even saying?It will put both of them in trouble if it turns out to be a lie.
"I don't like jokes like that,"Mark said.
Soohyun smirked,"Do you know his face?"
"Of course,I do."Mark said.
Soohyun smirked again,got her phone out and showed a few pictures to Mark.Baekhyun was curious,so he tried to see but couldn't see anything.But looks like it was Soohyun's picture with the creator of the game.
Mark's jaw dropped to the ground,"Oh my God,It really is him.It really is Johnny.Oh my God."He then looked up from the phone to Soohyun,"Do you know him?"
Soohyun smiled while taking her phone back,"I do.He's a long time friend of mine.So do you wanna meet him or no?"
"Of course,"Mark screamed while standing up.He held both of Soohyun's shoulders."Noona,please let me meet him.Please for once."
Noona?Baekhyun scoffed.He's pretty sure this kid called him adjusshi just a few minutes ago.Now he's being all friendly with her?
"I will let you meet him.But in return you will help us.Okay?"Soohyun asked.
"Sure,Noona.I'd do whatever you tell me to.But let me meet him."
"Okay,it's settled then.You're coming to Seoul with us today."
"Noona,I cant today.I have to stay here at least for 2 more days.I have some unfinished work..."
Baekhyun asked,"Didn't you say you aren't working for 3 months."
"Well..it was a lie because I got scared seeing you."Mark replied looking at Baekhyun and taking his hands off of Soohyun's shoulders.
Baekhyun frowned.How's he scary?
"Okay,Mark.We will go to Seoul after 2 days then.You get ready in the meantime.Okay?"
Mark nodded.
"And what if he runs away?"Baekhyun asked.
"I'm not going to!!"Mark shouted,"I'm not letting this opportunity pass."
"Hey,kid this is a lifetime opportunity for you as well.Not everyone gets to work with Spades..you will have no problem with money after this project ends..."Baekhyun said.
"Sure,"Mark said halfheartedly.
Baekhyun wasn't pleased with the reaction,he was about to say something else but Soohyun cut him off,"Let's trust him,Baekhyun.We'll also come and check up on him time to time whenever we get time.He won't run away."
Baekhyun rolled his eyes."Fine."Why's she defending him like that?It's not even like he's her real brother.
"We'll get going then."Soohyun said to Mark and even ruffled his hair.
Mark didn't seem to mind it and nodded.
This was so annoying.So Baekhyun just walked out of the door.Soohyun followed him out.
After coming out of the building.Baekhyun scoffed and asked,"Didn't you say you weren't good at talking?"
"I'm not.This time I got lucky because I knew Johnny."
"I didn't think you'd be a gamer.you look like you would prefer books and silence."
"I do.But some of my teammates were really into gaming and they talked about it all the time.I also met Johnny through them and got to know a lot about games.....hey,why're you sulking?Is it because you failed to get Mark and I did?"
Baekhyun shouted,"i didn't fail.I never fail.Even if you weren't here I'd convince him no matter what."
"Sure,"Soohyun said and changed the topic,"So we have 2 and a half free days.What do we do?"
After some silence Baekhyun said,"You know what?i didn't have a vacation for a long time and Jeju is a beautiful place.So why don't we just go and have a vacation?"
"Fine with me."
Baekhyun smiled,"But you can't tell Joonmyun.He'd get angry because we were having a good time while we were supposed to work.Or Yixing.He's not great with secrets.Or Jongdae,he would whine for days because we didn't take him."
Soohyun chuckled,"Okay,Baekhyun."
Baekhyun also chuckled,"Shall we go to the beach then?"
"Let's go."
