"Hm? Excuse me, where are you going?"

Before Saemi could even reach for the doorknob exiting the group's dorm, Jongin blocked the way, cocking a brow at her.

"Step away. I need to go somewhere."

"You owe us an explanation, chippy."

Her jaw dropped at the name he called her. Could it be that Sehun has infected this fine man in front of her as well? Saemi shook off her thoughts and pushed through him with Jaehyun standing rather coolly behind her.

"Aren't you gonna shove him off?" Saemi's eyebrows met.

"It's my day off today, Saemi. Give me a break."

"We just had an agreement awhile ago, Jung Jaehyun!" Raising her voice, the young man was greeted by Saemi's fuming gaze.

"Kidding," he added before turning to face Jongin who only raised a brow at them.

"Please move away, sir."

"Jongin-a, let them be." Baekhyun was oddly calm and collected, ordering the younger to release them.

"Byun, you're coming with us."

Dumbfounded, he followed Saemi and Jaehyun who were now freed by Kim Jongin himself.

Byun...

He had to make sure he heard it right. It's not even that of a big deal but the way that name slipped out of Saemi's lips made him somehow hope that they would soon be in better terms.

"Aren't we going too fast? We need to plan this through, Saemi."

The three of them quickly went to Saemi's old mansion where Eun Hae Kyeong currently lives. They were waiting inside the car that's parked a few blocks away from the gate where Saemi and Jaehyun estimated Hae Kyeong's car would arrive any minute now.

"Byun, give me a break." Saemi eyed Jaehyun who's silently listening to them, not giving a damn about anything and keeping his profile low by silently eyeing the road, feeling his friend piercing at him.

"I've got this under control. And besides, Jaehyun's here. I'm pretty sure he has some hidden skills for him to be considered as an 'agent,' right?" She said, making imaginary quotes in the air.

Obviously, she's still upset over the fact that Jaehyun has kept a major secret from her. It was actually bewildering how she got mad at that than the matter with her past.

Baekhyun sighed in defeat, not wanting any more arguments with this. Whatever happens, he knows he would risk it all if they even lay a single finger on her.

"He's here.." Jaehyun announced, straightening his posture and arming his gun with a silencer.

Saemi halted him, blocking his gun with her hand when she saw Hae Kyeong step out of the car before it reaches the gate making them grow in question. A man wearing hoodie in a dark shade of blue greeted him. Its hood was put down making it hard for the three to make out his face.

"Do you know anything about this, Jae?" Baekhyun asked.

"Not that I'm aware of."

"We're going through the back," Saemi stated.

As soon as Hae Kyeong and that particular man was out of sight, they got out of the car in discreet. With fast tiptoeing steps, they were able to make it to the back side of the house where Saemi remembered her grandmother went through before as well.

"Duck down." Baekhyun half-shouted half whispered to Saemi, seeing that a guard was about to pass by their direction in the garden behind.

Jaehyun had led the two of them safely. Afterso, they got inside the kitchen that served as their entrance to the mansion itself. Soon enough, Jaehyun told the two to get the document they needed in Eun Hae Kyeong's office upstairs. But, of course, with him and the man in the living room, Baekhyun and Saemi would not be able to head towards the stairs for they will be noticed right away.

"Jaehyun, I swear to my mom I do not want to hear a gunshot." Saemi warned.

"That's why I brought a silencer, didn't you see?!" The latter retorted, unbelievably.

"Okay, okay. Chill!"

Baekhyun could only roll his eyes at the exchanges of the pair. If they would not stop, they will definitely be caught. In fact, they could have just gone in with a proper actual door to avoid the complications they're now facing, but knowing Hae Kyeong, he would not let her in that easily.

Jaehyun has also predicted that the cruel man would probably point his focus on Saemi now that she knows his schemes for Baekhyun's family.

Baekhyun grabbed Saemi's hand and pulled her to the stairs as soon as Jaehyun had gathered the two men's attention. The man Hae Kyeong had met up was actually a skilled one, that did not give the agent a lot of work either. Compared to the illegal man, Jaehyun was more advanced and before Hae Kyeong could even look behind, he has already lost consciousness.

He was now left with the man wearing a hoodie. He must admit that the man had given him a pretty good fight. When he was about to knock his back, he swung to the other side and dodged his aim.

Meanwhile along the hallway, the pair ran to the door of the office that was set. Not until they were stoned to their feet when Saemi saw the head of the maids, Hana, standing with a tray of cups on her hand at the end of the corridor.

"Miss Saemi..."

Hana was about to run to the child she's watched over grow up, but Baekhyun prevented Saemi saying, "We don't have time."

She looked back at Jaehyun who accepted a few punches on the face but it was clear that if he gets more, he'll lose the fight. They must hurry.

Before they reached the door, Baekhyun heard a ruckus from downstairs. He heard voices and he knew right then that Jaehyun's opponents increased in number. Ushering Saemi inside the room, he shut the door close on her face.

"Baek? Baek, come here!" She exclaimed, banging on the barrier between them.

"No. Get the documents. I need to help Jaehyun downstairs."

"You'll only hurt yourself!"

"You've got to trust me, chippy."

Groaning, Saemi could not resist any more for she had heard his footsteps going afar. She hurriedly turned her back, facing the table that she had grew to resent more when she once saw it again.

"What are you doing here? Why did you leave her alone?" Jaehyun said as he throws a fist on the man's stomach and kicks his shin. He received another until he saw one of the 10 man bring out a gun, leaving him no choice but to bring out his as well.

"She's getting the file. I have to help you,"

"I got this. Go back there,"

"You're kidding yourself," Baekhyun high-kicked a man. "Don't underestimate me, Jae."

"Heh!" The latter scoffed. "Whatever you say."

Soon enough, the living room was filled with injured men, and some were deeply wounded by the shoots of the gun Jaehyun gave. On the other hand, Saemi pulled all the drawers to see each document segregated. The last drawer from the middle in Hae Kyeong's table contained the paper she needed.

It was enough proof of his records.

"I got it."

***

Months passed, Eun Hae Kyeong was arrested for the crime he did in the past years. Including the recent attempt murder for Baekhyun's father. Everything that's occurred were all over the internet because of the idol's high profile. Eventually, it was taken down by SME and the Police.

Saemi resigned from SME and was now taking over the company that's supposed to be passed down to them siblings.

"Well hello, madam CEO. How does it feel up there?" Min Hyung entered his sister's office. He just came from a recording session.

Saemi chuckled at him, shaking her head. That day was considered a busy day. Lots of work to do, paperwork to sign and meetings to attend to. She was kind of thankful for having her brother visit her despite her bustling life in the office.

Turning her swivel chair to face Min Hyung, she was surprised to the man standing next to the younger.

"What are you doing here?"

"Aren't I welcome in here anymore?"

Jaehyun slumped on the sofa sitting in front of his friend's table, looking over the glass view on the other side.

"You sure have a wide view of the city. I suppose you like checking people out now," He playfully said.

"I'm too busy to look at the view you're enjoying right now. I bet you're the one doing that since you're... what again? An agen—"

Before Saemi could finish her word, the young man had placed a piece of paper on her table, causing her to raise a brow.

"Noona, you should go out more."

She wasn't able to realize that her brother was already behind her, patting her head in a teasing manner that she grew irritated to. Whisking his hand away from her, she took the paper Jaehyun handed her.

"What's this?"

"It's a gift. Aren't I too generous?"

The lass blinked her eyes at him. "You don't sound like you're whole-heartedly giving this as a gift, though."

"Just go to that concert. You need to take a break sometimes, too, miss CEO."

She shook her head, dismissing the paper and putting it on the side, then faced her computer once again to type her life away.

"I'm not going."

"You have to!" Min Hyung whined, pushing the swivel chair towards the table, making Saemi be stuck.

"How dare you put force on your older sister!"

"Ahuh. You're my older sister and you're stuck here in this stuffy office being single. You can't do that, Noona."

"You shouldn't care about that. And says the one who can't even flirt properly." The older rolled her eyes.

"Then you should live as an example! Show Min Hyung what you got and I bet in less than a month, he'll have himself a decent girlfriend." Jaehyun added with crossed arms, standing by the table.

Saemi's lips parted in disbelief of the two. How can they be bothered by her singlehood when they're both single themselves! Scoffing, she shakes her head no.

"I'm busy."

"And Min Hyung, can you come with me later? I need help with the groceries."

Min Hyung and Jaehyun glanced at each other, giving signals through their gazes.

"Sure, Noona."
