Choi Seungcheol.

Code name Esucapsu Mi Gustastu.

He is the best secret agent who was employed to collect military secrets of one country and relay them to another.

With his exceptional people skills and emotional intelligence, he's always been inquisitive, open-minded, and ready to adapt to any situation. His unwavering resilience allows him to stay calm even in the face of immense danger and pressure, making him one of the top agents in the country.

And no one knows that. Of course, he couldn't be a "Secret Agent" and it wasn't a secret.

Anyway, Seungcheol, the great agent, was in a very bad mood today.

Dark clouds seem to be hovering above his head, and he couldn't care less about his surroundings or engaging in conversation. All he wants is to go home and treat himself to some delicious ice cream.

Unfortunately, luck isn't on his side at the moment.

"Ahh!" grimaced a guy who accidentally collided with Seungcheol.

In reality, Seungcheol had already dodged the guy. It wasn't his fault that the guy wasn't paying attention. However, since the guy had a bunch of friends with him, he arrogantly blamed Seungcheol.

"Hey!" the guy, Gregorio, yelled.

As Seungcheol turned around, the wind swept through the narrow alleyway, revealing his handsome face. With his dark eyebrows, round eyes, fair skin, and red lips, anyone would be smitten by his looks. But not Gregorio.

"Why don't you watch where you're going?! Do you not have eyes!" Gregorio shouted, using lines that you'd typically find in a cheesy novel for a third-rate villain.

Seungcheol squinted his eyes at Gregorio and the other three guys accompanying him. Without uttering a word, he turned around and brushed them off.

Gregorio shouted in anger, "You actually ignored me! Hey, get back here!" He angrily grabbed an empty coke zero can and hurled it towards Seungcheol's head.

Tak!

Seungcheol immediately halted his steps.

"Get your sorry self back here! You useless jerk!" Gregorio warned with a menacing tone.

Seungcheol took a deep breath before reluctantly turning around.

"Are you even going to apologize for hitting me?" Gregorio demanded an apology from Seungcheol.

However, Seungcheol remained silent, refusing to respond.

"Hey!" one of Gregorio's henchmen interjected. He pointed at Seungcheol and exclaimed, "Do you have any idea who Gregorio is? He's the most respected boss in this town! If you don't show him respect, he'll teach you a lesson right away."

Gregorio approached Seungcheol, giving him a menacing glare. "You need to learn some respect, kid," he said, before swiftly raising his right hand and slapping Seungcheol across the cheek.

Pak!

Seungcheol's eyes widened in shock. 'This guy...!' he thought angrily.

At first, Seungcheol had no intention of fighting back against these pathetic bullies. But they had crossed a line that Seungcheol could never forgive.

Consumed by rage, Seungcheol locked eyes with Gregorio and charged forward, unleashing his fury upon the four men.

Four against one. Seungcheol emerged victorious, but his triumph was short-lived as the police arrived and apprehended them all.

Inside the police station, Officer (Y/n) was assigned to the case.

(Y/n) surveyed the scene, taking in Seungcheol and the four battered bullies. Seungcheol had managed to escape unscathed, while the four men bore the brunt of his retaliation.

"Hey, check this out! He totally kicked our butts!" Gregorio exclaimed, displaying his injuries to (Y/n). "We were just strolling down the alley when this dude suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started beating us up!"

But that was a complete fabrication.

Seungcheol shot a fierce glare at Gregorio, causing the other four to flinch in fear.

Letting out a sigh, (Y/n) turned to Seungcheol. "Is it true? Did you really attack all four of them for no reason?"

Seungcheol shook his head.

(Y/n) shifted her gaze back to the group of four. "He's saying it's not true."

"N-No, that's not what happened. He really did beat us up for no reason!" Gregorio continued to lie.

(Y/n) glanced back and forth between the two sides. Having worked in this field for a while, she knew how to handle situations like this.

"Alright, let's start by getting your information," (Y/n) said, opening her laptop. She nodded towards Seungcheol and asked, "What's your name?"

Seungcheol, the secret agent, remained silent.

(Y/n) frowned as she looked at him. "You're not going to answer? WHAT'S YOUR NAME!"

He took a deep breath and simply stared at her.

Thinking that he was disrespecting her, (Y/n) snapped, "Hey! I'm asking you! Speak up!"

But once again, Seungcheol stayed quiet.

(Y/n) grew irritated. She was already sleep-deprived and now she had to deal with a stubborn man like him. Frustrated, she stood up, raised her right hand, and SMACKED SEUNGCHEOL'S CHEEK!

Seungcheol's eyes widened in shock. He glared at (Y/n) after being slapped by her!

"I've told you multiple times to speak, but why can't you say a single word?" (Y/n) threatened. "Are you some kind of thug? A criminal in hiding? Speak up or you'll be stuck here forever."

Seungcheol's hands were shaking uncontrollably. He was on the verge of losing his mind.

(Y/n) noticed the expression on his face, but she refused to be intimidated. "Why are you giving me that look?" she asked, leaning in closer and staring directly into his eyes.

As she examined him closely, (Y/N) couldn't help but notice how attractive he was. 'He's my type,' she thought to herself. 'Too bad he's so stubborn and arrogant,' she added silently.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a police officer discreetly called out to (Y/n).

"Miss (Y/n), can you come over here for a moment?"

(Y/n) pointed towards Seungcheol and said, "I'll deal with you later." She rolled her eyes and made her way towards the co-worker who had called her.

Hoshi, the co-worker, grabbed (Y/n) by the shoulder and pulled her to the corner. "Hey, come here!"

"What's up? What's up? What's going on?" (Y/n) asked. "I'm busy, so make it quick."

"This is about your case, dummy," Hoshi explained. He glanced at Seungcheol, who was giving him a stern look, and then back at (Y/n). "You just made a mistake, (Y/n)."

"A mistake? What kind of mistake?" (Y/n) inquired.

"The good-looking guy over there, he asked for help from the NIS and they're contacting the higher-ups right now."

"NIS?" (Y/n) asked, gasping. She looked down and processed the information. "Why would he need help from the NIS?"

"Are you a fool or what?" Hoshi exclaimed. "He's a secret agent from the NIS!"

(Y/n) couldn't believe her ears. Her eyes widened in shock. Finally, she understood why he had to keep his identity a secret!

But she still couldn't wrap her head around why a secret agent would get involved in a street fight. "So, why would someone as important as him get into a fight?" she asked.

"I checked the CCTV footage in that area. Mr. Gregorio slapped him," Hoshi replied.

"That's it?" (Y/n) questioned. "He got into a fight just because of a slap?"

Hoshi leaned in closer and whispered, "Well, actually, this morning he had just come from the dentist. He had a... TOOTH REMOVED."

TOOTH REMOVED.

TOOTH REMOVED.

TOOTH REMOVED.

Those words echoed inside (Y/n)'s ears for a moment.

Didn't she just smack Seuncgheol a moment ago?

Holding her breath, she leaned closer to Hoshi and asked, "Which side did he have the tooth pulled from?"

Hoshi replied, "It was on the LEFT side."

Gradually, (Y/n) glanced at her right hand, the same hand she used to smack Seungcheol. "If I used my right hand to smack him, then I slapped his..."

(Y/n) turned around.

When she looked back at Seungcheol, she saw him glaring at her with blood pooling from his mouth.

Seungcheol then raised his index finger and signaled (Y/n) to come back.

IT LOOKS LIKE SEUNGCHEOL WILL BE DEALING WITH HER LATER.
