~Flashback~

•{Jungwon's POV}

"I am really useless Niki. I couldn't able to protect you guys," I cried again while looking at Niki who was injured.

"Please Jungwon don't think this about yourself. You're the best leader. You're not useless idiot." Jay hyung told me while putting his hand on my shoulders.

"Hyung please don't be hurt. It's all my fault. I promise I will never do this again. I will steal food from now. You will never step out!" Niki tried to console me but they failed.

"But for now what we should do? I am pretty sure this guy already told about us. Now they will hunt us until they handcuffed our hands," Jake hyung gave us the reminder for stealing some bread from bakery.

"But what about Niki? He almost died in his hands. I think we have to steal in disguise. Look at his skin. It's all bruises here!" Sunghoon hyung pointed out Niki's skin which was badly damaged.

"I guess we have to do this all for the rest of our lives," Sunoo sighs after completing his sentence which saddens the whole atmosphere.

Suddenly a whistle attracts them all and they look at the top of the wall where they were talking. A girl with short black hair, left side covered with haunting blue eye and black mask was enough to recognise her as our enemy. Everyone take out their daggers and mini-knife. Her mask got down but she was quick to cover it again. We bowed as soon as we saw her.

"I'm sorry Esther Noona. We thought you are the enemy." Heeseung hyung said while we all were sweating some cold sweats due to fear. She chuckled at us.

"Enhypen you guys are too innocent for this world. NIKI WHAT THE FREAKING SAVANNAH BANANA HAPPENED TO YOU?!?!?!!!" She got herself down to greet us until her face got yellow when she saw Niki.

"I tried to steal some bread from a bakery. The baker caught me and beat me really bad. He almost killed me,"

"Who is that flat ketchup cupcake man huh?! Anyways I bought some food for you." Esther noona gave us some food and we ate it.

"Noona did you eat something?" Niki asks her while she was rolling her eyes everywhere.

"Niki you can eat it all. Now guys listen to me. I got my new home." We all gasped that Jay hyung almost choked himself. She gave him a bottle of water and sighs before saying.

"Does that mean that you will abandon us?" Everybody including me started crying and went towards her to hug her. Everyone were begging her to not leave us.

"Guys calm yourself down. I will never abandon you guys just I wanted to tell you that Let me tell you the truth. Some boys gave me offer of spy training-"

"SPY TRAINING!!?!?!!!" We all gasped at unison that she rubbed her forehead.

"Noona we will come with you!" We all requested her to come with her for training.

"Kids, it's really not possible as you guys are still small for that. But for now go to this orphanage. That Gumin and Seogeum is still searching for me. I talked with the owner and he agreed to have you guys. So no stealing and study good. You guys are going to complete your dreams if you will get money and you will earn money if you get a job. For a good job you need to study. Okay? I'll miss you guys alot." She hugged us really tight. We all were crying cause she was the one who take care of us. She wiped out tears which made us more sad.

"I'll promise that I'll defeat Gumin. Promise that you will be successful and raise my name higher?" We all made a pinky finger promise and we all took a oath to be successful.

~Present~

"Till that we were not able to be successful cause we already got good education which is already enough for us. We also want to have revenge so we joined his empire. We decided to do everything just to bring him down. That's the story noona."

•{Third Person's POV}

Everyone listens the story while their mind were raising some questions about her. Who is she? Where she is from? What's her age? Where did she met them? What secrets she is hiding? Their mind was occupied by the questions which were never raised.

"What's your relation with Gumin?" Seungcheol asked her and for a very first time she was speechless.

"What you have to do with Gumin? He really crossed his limits," She paused for a while. "Seungcheol you seriously don't need to interfere between our rivalry."

"So what should I really do?! Esther I know you have family trauma but you can't keep it suppressing." She rolled her eyes when his tone got some harshness.

"What should I do and what should I not is definitely not your business. You really don't need to know all right now. Wait for a right time. Please," She plead him not to ask about her past.

"Okay so we won't ask you those questions but can you tell us that why we have rivalry with him?"

"A powerful politician who made my life miserable. I was orphan and they treated us bad. Especially Gumin who looked down towards us that's why I want them to taste their own medicine." It takes no time to glance at the mansion where they heard explosion. They knew what happened to the people inside the mansion.

"So is this enough for you?"

"Why did you pressed the blast button-"

"We worked hard for this mission then we got these children and we stopped it all. We left our pending mission so this is like icing on the cake." Everyone were looking at her as she was having her frightening aura. Everyone were terrified of her.

"Enhypen please stay away from this matter. Focus on your studies from now." Her cold gaze were piercing their souls so they felt better if they obey her and departed from the place.

"Okay. We'll spare you some time as I think you need it the most." Seungcheol immediately knew that she won't be able to tell her past so he let it aside.

Everyone departed except Wonwoo watching her walking towards the Han River. He was tensed somehow. He can sense that she had been holding grudges against Gumin. It's impossible for her to express her genuine feelings so he sat near her.

"Why you're here with me?" She asked him as she felt his presence.

"I just thought that it's better to have one person beside you. I am so sorry to hear that. It was really hard for you to live alone." His sympathy was refreshing the cracks that were made in her heart.

"I wasn't alone. I had Enhypen." She corrected him.

"I know that but you were their supporting pillar. You had no one to rely. It was really hard for you to suppress your feelings in front of them to be the example of being strong. It was really tough for you." He described her feelings really well. She had to pretend strong for them even if she's breaking down inside.

"It was definitely hard but I was used of it so it was not difficult anymore," She paused for a while. "We all have been surviving alone since we all got separated from our family. We all had family issues except me. I was an orphan. Maybe it's only you who had no problem with their family?"

This question made him think for a while. Then he replied, "I also had family issues. I may came from a rich family but they were so manipulative that I shifted to Seoul."

"I can feel that," She sighs. "Let's head back to the HQ. They must be waiting for us."

While driving towards the dorm, there was a thick silence in the air. He was feeling kinda suffocated while breathing thick air. She can see him being uncomfortable so she decided to start a conversation to make him feel better.

"You look like a doll." She said while driving her car. "Sometimes you give baby girl vibes."

"Really? But I'm older than you!" He scoffed a little as it made his ego hurt. "What makes you think me as a baby girl?" He questions her expecting to ignore it.

"Maybe you may older than you. But you make me feel like I should protect you. You're too fragile and delicate for this spy world." Hearing her statement made him blush in mess. He was unable to think straight because he also knew she was smooth with her words.

"Your cheeks and ears are red." She chuckled softly seeing him being a mess. He covered his face in shyness because he never expected a girl to make domination on his feelings.

"We reached the HQs." He realised that he came back. He was so into her and her words that made him go into another world. He saw Esther signalling him to come out of the car as soon as she parked.

"Esther Wonwoo where you both were?!" While entering in the entrance they saw Joshua running towards them and come closer to Esther showing his concern. Mingyu also walked along wth him trying to match his pace with Joshua. "Don't you guys know that I was so worried?!"

Seeing that Esther was too calm as it was habit of Joshua. Mingyu was panting hard cas he lost his composure while following Joshua. Mingyu had a annoyed and tired look in his face which made Wonwoo worried.

"Mingyu are you worried for some reasons?" He asked him while watching Mingyu regaining his energy.

"Jeonghan hyung and Dokyeom went to a mission today. I am wondering whom should I be with? Seungcheol hyung ordered me to have someone in my dorm."

"But why would Seungcheol hyung will order you to have someone with you? Did someone saw your face and sent their men to get you?" Esther roses up the question and atmosphere became think suddenly.

"Yes you're right. I don't know who but someone saw my face so that's why I think Gumin already sent his men to get me. If I would be alone in my dorm, it will be right opportunity for them so that's why hyung ordered this." While he was done with his sentence everyone were so into their thoughts.

"I'll stay with you for a day." Wonwoo's declaration made everyone's shocked faces got popped up and gets more worried except Esther who had a usual calm face. "I know Esther it's-"

"Don't worry I can protect myself. Shua you also stay with them. I need some peace right now." Their worried faces turned into understanding one except Joshua who became really worried after her statement.

"But Esther-ssi, who will you have if Wonwoo stays with Mingyu for a day? That's wrong I'm staying with you-"

"But you don't need to Shua. You are the most important person for them and they need you the most. I can protect myself."

"No buts I'm staying with you and that's final." She felt defeated by his stubbornness so she let him be himself and gave him a nod.

~At night~

Wonwoo was sitting near the bank of river, at the strange place. There was a green tree where he lies on the grass. The moon was shining bright. He felt someone's presence. He wakes up and saw a young girl there. She was swaying along with the wind. Her white hair was swaying gracefully.

He gained some confidence and patted her shoulder gently. She looked behind where he was staring at her eyes. Her red and blue eyes were so calming. He got lost into his beauty as if world has stopped in a while. Suddenly discomfort started to creep onto his nerves. Her eyes were still calm but she opens her mouth just to say, "Help me."

That's when he woke up, all sweat on his skin, panting hard. He realised that it was a dream. Or he should consider it as a nightmare, this question was running through his head. He really don't know that intention of this dream, as if that girl wants to give a message to him. Finally he gained his courage and whispers,

"Princess Jangmi"
