Woo walked backwards and forwards in his private lounge in confusion. This lounge is kind of private room for woo in his house. It’s filled with plants and it’s so refreshing. Jong who also there looked at woo who’s been acting so strange.

“Yah! What happened to you?” Jong finally asked, couldn’t held anymore.

“Hm..should I phone, should not, should I phone, should not, arrgh!!!” Woo suddenly screamed and jong jolted in his seat, scared.

“Yah, some ghost entered your body or what? Why are you screaming?”

“Jong! Tell me! Should I phone or not!” Woo replied while shaking jong’s shoulder. Jong shocked at his friend’s action.

“Man, what are you talking about? I don’t understand,” Jong said

“It’s Soojin-sshi...” Woo replied in very small tone. Jong was making an-Oh face for the statement.

“I see, so you’re nervous to phone the girl you bumped several days ago.just phone her, come on!” Jong smirked at his friend, and his friend looked at him with –are you sure- face. Jong nodded.

“Hey woo, you have everything. Face, money, and popularity! It should be easy for you to approach a girl you know.”

“I know that. But she seems not a type that can be approached with money or fame..”

“Just try it, you’ll regret it if you won’t try haha. After all my guess is right. You’re gonna fall for that girl.”

“When did you make that opinion?”

“After you bumped to her. I saw you looked at her with excitement, but when Wonyeon came you didn’t feel comfortable enough so you said you had to go, am I right?” Jong said again, and Woo looked in amusement.

“Hey, sometimes you can be clever too! Ok, I’ll phone her now,” Woo smiled and open his contact memory, and called Soojin

Trililit Trililit..

“Yobosaeyo?”

“Yobosaeyo, Soojin-sshi? It’s Wooyoung,” Wooyoung replied in soft tone. Jong tried to hold his laughter.

“Ah! Wooyoung sunbae! Waeyo?”

“Sorry, did I surprise you? I just want to ask if you have time tomorrow, I want you to accompany me to some shop and buy some dance dvds.”

“Hmm, let’s see… I’m ok with that if it’s after 3 p.m. Is that ok? I know tomorrow’s Saturday but I…” before Soojin finished explaining, Woo replied.

“Yes, it’s really ok! Ok, I’ll pick you up on 3.30 p.m. How’s that?”

“Eh? Gwenchana? I thought we could just met at the shop,” Soojin replied.

“It’s perfectly fine. Because I asked you to accompany me I should treat you well, right? Ok, where’s your home?”

“Actually I live with Wonyeon these days, because my oppa is so busy with his work and our parents are still in overseas. You know Wonyeon’s house?”

“Oh..I know.. her address is still the same right?”

“She moved to apartment alone already. The address is XXX Street, View apartment, level 17, number 1789. You can just ring the bell when you arrived, hehe, gomawo sunbae,” Soojin replied in cute tone and Woo smiled.

“Please, just call me Wooyoung.”

“But you still older than me! Umm..or no, can I call you..Woo Oppa?”

“Sure, you can, Soojin-sshi,” Wooyoung’s smile got wider again. Jong who saw that felt happy for his friend.

“Stop calling me with sshi! Aigoo, just call me Soojin, ok?”

“Ok, bye Soojin, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“Hehe, ok Oppa, byeee,” Soojin answered and by then he hung up the phone call.

Woo smiled at Jong in satisfaction. He smiled so wide and walked to the table and chair on the lounge and then sat. Jong who saw him knew that he was suceed.

“I told you so right? So you gonna go and pick her up in her house?” Jong asked but Woo shook his head.

“No, she’s on Wonyeon’s.”

“Eh?” Jong kinda surprised.

***

Meanwhile when Soojin was having a convo with Woo on phone, Wonyeon was taking a shower. Not long after the phone call ended, Wonyeon came from the bathroom with wet hair. She walked to her bed and approach Soojin who was still sitting there.

“Soojin, your turn to take a bath,” Wonyeon said.

“Ah..okay,” Soojin then stood up and took her clothes out from the closet.

“Who’s on the phone a while ago?” Wonyeon asked.

“Eh, you heard?”

“I hear you talking from the bathroom. Who is it? Ahra?”

“No..it’s….Wooyoung Oppa.”

“Woo? Don’t tell me Soojin, you…” Wonyeon replied in surprise. Did her bestfriend gonna end up with woo?

“Ugh..yes..I’m kinda attracted at him,” Soojin confessed and with a flash ran to the bathroom. Wonyeon stood there, not blinking for a second. She never thought that her bestfriend gonna fall for Wooyoung.

Suddenly her phone rang. Wonyeon knew it’s a notification for her calendar. She picked up her phone and checked it. On the screen, there’s a note:

5 days away to Khun-khun’s birthday!^^ ottokhe?

She starred at the notes. She always marked the calendar 5 days before Khun’s birthday, so she could think of plans and prepared his birthday present. After starring for a while, she decided to erase it. But at the end, she couldn’t do it.

“Nichkhun…” she said to herself. Tears made her eyes blurred, and when they were about to flow, her phone rang again. This time, it’s a message.

From: Jonghyun

Hey! Woo seems liking your friend Soojin much, should we help them? Btw, how are u? really have a nice time with u yesterday.. We should go again next time! ^^v

Jonghyun

She smiled bitterly at his message text. She didn’t know why she felt much better when she read his message. Somehow it gave her support to not be so sad about khun anymore, although it’s just a short text. Then, she typed the reply to him.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Jong waited for the reply of his message. He had thought twice before he decided to text Wonyeon. He knew that Wonyeon isn’t the type that easily fallen for a guy. Going together with her once doesn’t mean anything. He knew that.

Not long after that, his phone rang.

From: Wonyeon

I know ^^ Soojin seems like Woo too, yeah we should help! They’re going out tomorrow, should we lock them up in my apartment? lol. Anyway, thx to you, I feel supported rite now :)

Jong’s eyes glued to the last sentence. What does she mean? What happened to her?

From: Jonghyun

Yah, you’re gwenchana? Don’t make me worried…

From: Wonyeon

I’m ok, just remembered sad memories a while ago :')

From: Jonghyun

better take you out for some refreshing tomorrow. Would you? I’ll pick you at 5.

From: Wonyeon

Ok. Thx anyway. Gtg sleep now, so sleepy, byee

Jonghyun smiled. Tomorrow’s gonna be another best days for him!

“Eh? Leave early?” Ahra asked in surprise after hearing Soojin’s words.

“Um.. I have something to do,” she said, blushed red. Wonyeon who was there grinned.

“She’s gonna have a date with Woo, you know, Ahra, the guy she bumped with before,”Wonyeon grinned and told Ahra. Ahra who was so surprised even miss shot the target.

Yeah, they were in the practical gunshot room at dragkheimhell’s base. This kind of training was their activity almost everyday in the base.

“EH?REALLY??”

“Uh…yes..” Soojin’s face became redder. Ahra and Wonyeon who saw that just laughed. Their friend finnaly fell in love with someone.

“Haha, go for it Soojin! I bet you really glad! But, didn’t we have a mission today?” Ahra smiled and asked the two of them at the same time.

“Eh?” Soojin and Wonyeon surprised.

“Key kinda told me before..”

Suddenly, a loud voice heard from the speaker in the room

“To Ace, Moon, Lucifer from the girls team, Topaz, JK and Knight from the guys team, please get ready and stand by Leader’s office in 15 minutes! We have mission to go and I’ll tell you about that once we ready,” Key’s voice was heard from the speaker.

“Oh no! We must hurry and let this mission finish or I’ll be late!” Soojin was panic.

“Let’s go then!” Ahra replied, and the 3 of them rushed off.

~*~*~*~*~*~

“What is it Oppa? It’s a sudden mission!” Soojin said, pouted at her brother. Key, who can’t resist his sister’s pouting face just sighed.

“Sorry Soojin, but we really must do this mission.”

“Where is it?” Soojin asked again.

“Namwon. Well, maybe 3 hours far from here.”

“Bwoh? Oppa! Use the helicopter! Please, I’m begging you!” Soojin begged him, because she knew that she won’t be there on time if they use cars.

“Why you’re in such a rush, Soojin?”

“I have an important appointment related my major in university! Please, for this time Oppa, pleaseeeee!” Seeing her face, Key sighed again. He really can’t resist his sister.

“Alright. But only this time.”

“Yay!” Soojin cheered. Wonyeon, Ahra, Taec, Junho and JK aka Junsu just smiled at each other looking at that. They all knew that Soojin isn’t Key’s real sister. Yeah, they knew that, even since she’s enrolled to dragkheimhell because Key accidently said that. But all these times they just kept it as a secret, because they also knew, a cheerful girl like Soojin will be so upset knowing this fact.

After getting all the information of the target, they’re off.

~*~*~*~*~*~

“Welcome, dragkheimhell,” the target, Mr. Cheon Dung said with his snigger smile on his face, sitting on his chair and backing them. The dragkheimhell crew was stunned. He knew them

“You know us, how?” asked Key, kept his cool face.

“Oh, you guys are pretty popular you know and I just know. So, you come here to kill me?” he asked again, stayed relaxed.

“It’s not killing, but giving you a punishment. If you stay still, it won’t hurt, sir,” Ahra said, clicking on her gun.

“Well well, what did I do now?” He turned around and faced the team. The team surprised knowing the fact that he’s still young, maybe younger than Junho. He looked at Ahra. Ahra stunned. This guy…..

“You know you’re a part of Blackjacks gang, and you use that status to manipulate people and corrupt their money. It’s just too much, you know.” Junho replied.

“Haha, I see. But, can you kill me?” He said again, sniggered at Ahra. Ahra’s eyes got widen and her body shaken.

“What do you me…” before Taec continued his words, a huge amount of gas filled the room. It was a poison gas. Everyone was panicked, and jump to the ceiling.

“Quick! Use all of your masker before the gas really filled the room! Moon, Topaz, go catch the target!” Key command and they did it within seconds. After put the masker on themselves, both Wonyeon and Taec jump back to the room and ran together, carrying their guns.

“Now, Lucifer, Knight, JK, help me purify the gas! Ace,…. ACE! WHERE IS SHE?” Key was so surprised noticing that Ahra wasn’t there. This is bad. It could be that Ahra was kidnapped by that man. Soojin also surprised. She’s so worried about her friend.

“Shit!” Key cursed.

~*~*~*~*~*~

“Why did you do this!” Ahra yelled, out of breath. Cheon Dung just smiled at her and knelt down in front of her.

“I just do as the master says, our princess,” Cheon Dung said. Ahra became angrier

“I’VE TOLD YOU GUYS I WON’T INHERIT THE POSITION! I HATE THEM ALL! STOP CALLING ME PRINCESS BECAUSE I’M NOT GOING TO BE ONE OF YOU!” Ahra yelled in anger. Cheon Dung looked at her, still kneeling down.

“Sorry for being so unmannered, your highness. But you must know. You’re his only daughter, the most powered person after master, and you know you’ll be one of us at the end, “ Cheon Dung said.

“Never!” Ahra said, still in anger. Then, he looked at Cheon Dung again. Within seconds, she slapped his face.

“What did that man do to you until you’ve become like this, Cheon Dung? You’re not you again..where did that Cheon Dung who always be with me gone?” Ahra replied, stuttered. Cheon Dung looked at Ahra, and he found tears from her eyes. He stood up and tried to wipe the tears, but Ahra slapped his hand.

“Where’s my old Cheon Dung?! Where’s my best friend?” Ahra said again.cried. Cheon Dung walked nearer Ahra.

“You’re my master’s daughter, and I’m your bodyguard. Please, don’t treat me as a friend because you know I don’t deserve that, Princess Ahra.”

“You liar! You were my only friend, my only best friend, the one who always protect me!”

“No, you’re wrong. The one who always protect you was only Heechul hyung, and only him,” Cheon Dung said. Ahra looked at him and she found the saddest expression on Cheon Dung’s face.

“STAY AWAY FROM ACE!” Wonyeon and Taec came, ready to position their target on Cheon Dung. Cheon Dung just smirked and raised both of his hands.

“Well, I won’t do anything that harm her. Now, before you killed me, can I have my last words?” he asked. Wonyeon and Taec turned down their guns.

“Shoot that. Quick!” Taec said, and Ahra stunned in her position. She didn’t have any energy to even look at her friends nor talk with Cheon Dung anymore.

“Ok ok, relax. I only want to be killed by your friend here, can I?” he replied while pointing at Ahra.

The three of them were really surprised, especially Ahra. She was going to go back to Key, Soojin and the others place, but hearing what Cheon Dung said…

“BWOH?” Ahra shrieked. Her 2 friends were kinda surprised too.

“What’s wrong Ahra? It should be easy for you, right?” Taec asked. Ahra’s body shaken even more. Slowly, she looked at Cheon Dung. That guy was just smiling at her.

“Oh, one more. I don’t want her to use guns. Can she just stabbed me at my heart?” Cheon Dung said again. Ahra looked at him in surprised. Did he really plan to die in her hands?

Cheon Dung just smiled again and nodded at Ahra, giving her a signal to just stab him.

“Ok, but if you do something to Ace while she was going to stab you, we both will shot you instantly. Raise your hands, up!” Wonyeon said while clicking on her gun, so did Taec.

“Ok, ok. Come on, just stab me now, I’m tired of waiting here,” Cheon Dung said again. Ahra still stunned in her position.

“What do you waiting for, Ace, go!” Taec commanded. Ahra looked at Cheon Dung’s face once more, but that guy still just smiling at her.

With her shaken body, she took out a knife from her pocket, she pointing it at Cheon Dung. Again, he just smiled. Ahra really gonna burst out with tears if her friends weren’t there. This was just too much. She must kill her first best friend.

Ahra slowly, approached Cheon Dung. Holding back her tears, she stabbed it to Cheon Dung’s heart. Cheon Dung kept smiling at her and suddenly he opened his mouth.

“Che..ck the..re..d..book..i..n..my…off..ice, sa…rang..hae…,Ah…r..a,” Cheon Dung whispered it to Ahra and then, he collapsed to the floor. He died.

“Good job, Ahra, let’s go back,” Taec said. He and Wonyeon were ready to go back.

“Please go first, I must clean my knife. It’s disgusting…because of this man’s blood,” Ahra said, looking fine. But Wonyeon noticed something wrong. Her body’s shaken.

“Are you sure, you’re alright?” asked Wonyeon, and Ahra just nodded. Wonyeon sighed. Even if she insisted her now, she won’t tell her anything, she knew that.

“Ok, just catch up with us later, ok Ahra?”

“Ok.”

After Taec and Wonyeon gone, Ahra burst into tears. Her knees were so limp that she fell and sat on the floor. Her crying won’t stop, tears keep flowing out from her eyes.

“Yah…Cheon..Dung ah…You’re still alive, right? Yah… hear me…” Ahra said. But of course, Cheon Dung won’t wake up again.

“Yah!! How could you do this to me! You didn’t even give me your explanation about what you said earlier! Yah ! Yah!” Ahra shook his body, but he didn’t open his eyes again.

With swollen red eyes and tears who still bursting out, Ahra covered his body with a cloth near there. She looked at his face one more time. He was smiling. After that, she stood up and went to his office. Of course, the dragkheimhell crew was already went to where the helicopter parked.

She searched for the red book that’s been told by Cheon Dung before. She found it easily, and then she put in inside her jacket.

“Ace, Come quickly, the helicopter gonna take off soon!” Wonyeon said through the walky talky.

“I’m coming Moon,” Ahra replied. And then she rushed off to the helicopter while wiping tears from her eyes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ACE?” Key asked in angry tone while Ahra going inside the helicopter.

“Sorry,” Ahra said. Key who noticed there’s something wrong with Ahra’s voice, looked at her.

“Gwenchana? He didn’t do anything, right?” Key asked, the others were looking at Ahra with questioning looks too, and Ahra just nodded, looking at the ground.

The insensitive boys just thought that Ahra’s alright. But Soojin and Wonyeon knew, there’s really something wrong with Ahra. But suddenly, Soojin remembered something

“Ah! Oppa, what time is it now?”

“Hm? It’s 3.10 p.m,” Key answered.

“BWOH??? Ahjusshi, please speeding up! I have to be in Seoul in 20 minutes!!” Soojin shrieked panicky, and the pilot Ahjusshi instantly speeding up. The others hadn’t put their seat belt, so they were shaken to the left and right.

“SOOJIN!!!” They yelled.

“Sorry?” Soojin just looking at them, grinned nervously.
