ZERO'S POV
Like I said, Nine hyung took me a while, chatting about whatever... which was rare. I had to preserve the food Three hyung brought since I wanted to eat it with Seven when she wakes up.
I also just remembered that Four hyung left for his morning mission with Eight hyung. Nine hyung said they were at some club. Idk... Eight's probably been assigned to seduce some bitch in order to get some info again.
I ruffle my hair and stare at the mirror in front of me. Yeah, I'm in the bathroom, I just got showered. That black eye was still visible at my left eye.... Damn it.
I try covering it with my left hand to see if it would make any difference.
It does seem like nothing happened..... But that stupid punk had to punch me directly at my eye!
I hope Seven wouldn't worry too much. Last night she was already scolding me about it. An early morning sermon is the last thing I need right now. I pull up my boxers and hang my towel over my shoulder.
'Is she awake by now?'
I enter our room and look her over. Nah... Still sleeping. Sighing, I sat down at my side of the bed and dried my hair with my towel. I check my monitor but I didn't see any notifs. I hope Nine hyung made it back safely like he got here surprisingly quick. And early.
"K-kook-!-?"
"Hm?"
I turn my head and well.....
"What's wrong?? You alright??"
Seven was staring at me while rubbing her eye. I stop her hand incase she irritates it. But her glancing all over me made me realize...... I was still just in my boxers.
I just smile, still too tired to say or do anything else.
(A/N: found this somewhere and damn bruh he's so fine)
"W-what the h-hell Jungk-kook!!? I've only woken up and you m-make me suffer seeing y-you nearly fully n-n-naked!!!"
I laugh lightly at that.
"I didn't mean it." I caress her cheek, placing a kiss on her forehead. I lay my head on her lap just so I can admire her more. It's too early to do stuff so I just wanna with my bae.
"You're blushing again (Y/n)." My voice was still hoarse; morning voice.
"H-how can I-I not wh-when you look li-like t-that!!" She averts her gaze from me. I sat up and kissed her cheek making her blush darker.
'So cute.'
"Sorry. I took a shower just now..." I flex my neck a bit, just to relieve my tired muscles. Some joints cracking here and there.
"A-are you o-okay?" She asks but she doesn't look my way.
"Yeah... Just a little tired. I woke up quite early. Nine hyung came by and brought some food Three cooked for us."
I shiver, suddenly feeling Seven's hand on my upper back.
"Ah jeez you little idiot... Come on.... Let me see that..."
I face her, she was right behind me, holding my cheek and making me look at her. She was clearly looking at my black eye.
'Please don't give me a sermon....'
"Aish Kookie are you sure it's alright??? That looks painful...." she looks down, her cheeks were still red though she was able to touch my bare back.
"I'm really alright baby. Please stop worrying.. Come on smile for me... it's too early."
The atmosphere was just right actually. It wasn't awkward or anything like that. But my eyes widened when she suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck and placed herself on my lap.
I don't really say anything and melt into her. Her head was on my shoulder as I pulled her closer. It's kinda funny though, her heartbeat was faster than usual. Well considering the circumstances right now, I understand why.
Her hug tightened and my reflexes made me tighten up my arms around her as well.
I feel her hands on my chest, pushing me down on the bed. "Jungkook lay down for sec. I'll get some ice for that bruise..."
I'm gonna be honest, feeling her hands run over my chest was crazily turning me on.......
"Y-yeah... sure..."
'Jungkook breathe....'
I let out a breathe I've been holding in once she left the room and closed my eyes for the mean time. She came back kinda quick and I felt the bed dip just beside me. Again.... her hand was on my chest as she patted me. Probably letting me know she was back.
I open my eyes halfway and she just blushes again. I smile at her, I'm glad I could make her blush by barely doing anything at all. My hand automatically goes to her waist and the other just laid on the bed. She gently pressed the ice bag she brought on my left eye. It stung but I fought the pain, trying to stay collected and calm.
"You idiot..... Why did you have to get jealous when I'm all yours..."
Why does she have to remind me of that... I feel my face heat up. "Shut up..." I mumbled and turned my head sideways.
"WHAT THE FU-!!?"
I yelled out feeling something cold... something too cold. Damn it Seven! She could've at least warned me about placing another ice bag on my stomach! It's so cold!!
"Oh shush it! Don't think you can hide your bruises or wounds from me.... You're shirtless you punk!"
Her cheeks were still red. But she's still doing what she can just so she can help me.
"I fucking love you..."
'Whoa! Did I just say that out loud?'
She stared at me, obviously shocked.
"Get used to it baby." I playfully wink at her. She lightly slaps me and pinched my cheek, making me swat her hand away.
"Yah! That hurts jagi!"
I think I'm pouting right now. But I tense up, feeling her touch my abs. I grab her wrist, but I don't stop her. I inhale sharply....
"Shit baby..." great, now I'm turned on.
Seven pushed the ice bags aside and straddled me. "You're one daring girl, aren't ya, (Y/n)?" I smirk at her. She leaned down and kissed my lips. Damn her lips are so soft. "You push me beyond my courage bun-bun~" she shyly admitted. My arms wrap around her waist, loosely. Her arms tangled through my hair and over my head as I deepened the kiss. I pulled at her hair, tilting my head to control the situation and damn!
"Babe I'm-"
"Nope!" She pulled away and just sat on me. I only stared at her, confused.
"Not today honey-bunny~" she poked my nose.
"You're such a tease...." I slap her ass, making her jump a bit.... But I regret it immediately...... My member hurts....
"Jungkook! What the fuck! You want me to tease you more or what!?"
She's yelling... but she's smiling. "You're so cute, you know that?" I chuckle and she hits my arm but leaned back down to silence me by kissing me again.
I can't help but thrust my hips up onto her while gripping her tightly. She pulled away though, needing some air.
"Shit... you're hard already!?" She stared at me with wide eyes and her hands rested right below my collar bones. She attempted to stand up and get off me but I lock my arms around her waist. "Kook let go." She whined. I smile, "Nuh-uh baby~" I unconsciously bit my lower lip, making (Y/n) eye it.
"Seriously... Not today!" Looking away wouldn't help her get out of my arms though, haha!
SEVEN'S / YOUR POV
Is he serious!? He's really hard under me though. I guess I made another wrong move... Not this time.
"Well? Aren't ya gonna help me with this?" As he asked me that, he purposely thrusted up and I wasn't able to avoid a moan from escaping my lips. "Ah~!"
'Fine... Wanna play like that huh?'
"You want my help Kook?" I leaned towards him again and ran my hands up his arms to his jawline. "ah... (Y/n)...." He's been shivering under my touch for a while now... no wonder he got so turned on.
I lowered my head and kissed his jawline down to his neck. He sure looks like he's enjoying it. "Ah- shit!" I bit on his jawline, but not too hard to make a mark. His eyes were shut closed and his hands gripped on my waist a little too tight.... and they were slowly making their way down my asscheeks.
I slid my hands down his sides to his torso and kissed his lips. I felt his hands by my ass. I took them both and placed them by the sides of his head.
'And I thought he was the dominant one.'
"Fu-fuck-!"
I quickly pulled away once he completely lost his grip on me and stood away from him, giggling at the mess he became. He was staring at me while panting heavily. I can tell he's craving for more.
"(Y-Y/n) what the fuck! Are you really gonna leave me like this??"
I smile at him teasingly, "Guess you'll have to shower again. You're sweaty."
I walk off to the bathroom and grab my towel for a morning bath. I stop to lean at the wall trying to listen if he's gonna do anything about it.
"Damn... she got me high so fast~"
I giggle and head to the bathroom.
'I can't believe I actually did that...'
AUTHOR'S POV
_CITY CORE/CENTRAL_CAFE_
"So? How was it?" Six had that usual grin on his face as Eight got nearer to the table he sat at, at the cafe where they had their morning meeting.
"I got the info. As always~" singsonging, Eight lightly bragged off his success in gaining their needed information.
"Of course, dear Siren. So who's doing the report?" Six scrolled through the documents in his monitor while Eight made himself comfortable in his seat and pushed his hair back with a small sigh. "Four's doing it. Well, he sounded like he wanted to do the report." He shrugged and Six only nodded.
"Coffee?" Six motioned for the empty mug sitting on the table.
"No thanks hyung. I had one earlier at the hotel before we left." He waved his hand slightly and shook his head with a small smile.
"Alrighty then. Come on. We gotta head back. Five's alone, and we can't let him stay alone longer... Pull your mask on."
Both of them stood up in sync, ready to exit the cafe. Six, being a Specter, is quickly catching up to memorizing the whole map of the city. Eight on the other hand still needed to look at a certain place more than thrice to check if he's in the right place or if he got lost.
"This way."
Simply enough, the two operatives got back to North Gate. "Jeez, I thought you guys ditched me." Five joked as he opened the door for Six and Eight. "Now why would we do that?" Six grinned, raising a brow at the Shifter.
"How's the mission?"
"Successful, as always."
"Bragging again, aren't we Eight?"
"Am not. I'm just proud I did another great job."
"Hm, yeah right. Well... you killed her right?"
Five really was never a fan of all this violence. And having to kill someone was never his intention even if it had to be done. Eight and Six frowned at him.
"It's alright, Five." Eight patted his shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Alright you two. Rest up for the meantime. I'll see if Nine has anything else in mind for us to do."
Turning to the living room, Six grabbed the larger monitor he brought with him, opening a certain file he had stolen from a CCTV in West Gate. He glanced around seeing Eight and Five walk away, probably going back to their room.
"Alright.... who was that?..."
Tapping and zooming in on the screen, Six studied the scene before him. His hands crossed together under his chin as his eyes squinted, staring at the video.
Four stopped walking and slightly looked behind them, Six doing the same. Six paused the video. He moved his head around, staring at the screen. He played it.
"What is it?"
"It's nothing...."
Six watched until they were out of the camera's view. He waited longer, listening to the silence the video offered.
"Aish..."
His finger was an inch close to nearly pausing the video when a black figure got in sight. The figure stood in place for a while, pacing a little, back and forth, like it was looking for something.... or rather, someone.
"Affirmative boss.... I followed him before...... PHANTOM Alpha is here."
"Shit what!?"
Six didn't intend on yelling that out loud but he was too late. Eight and Five came running down the steps asking if something was wrong.
"Got it.... I'll send my other men to look for the others. I got two here......yeah boss.... Huh? Nah, I didn't. I'll probably send someone else for that........ affirmative, over and out."
Six stared in disbelief as the figure ran off towards the opposite direction he and Four walked off to. Eight and Five heard the rest and wondered what was going on.
"Hyung?" Five tapped Six's shoulder. He didn't even budge.
"We're in trouble...." he mumbled. Eight and Five worriedly looked at him and the screen. "Eight, contact either Nine or Three right now. Five, activate the SLC and make sure it's in 100% security."
(A/N: SLC - Secured Log Communication)
"Eight? Why the sudden call?" Nine tapped his pen on his desk while his free hand rubbed his eye.
"Uh, I don't really know with Six...." Eight shrugged and moved aside to let the Specter come into view.
"Nine! We're being tracked!!"
Eight and Five stood stiff as did Nine with Six's direct statement.
"How-" Nine couldn't even finish his question as the Specter was already spilling everything in seconds.
"When Four and I were looking for Zero in West Gate, Four had felt a presence near us. I got too curious and cautious and I'm glad I did. I stole the CCTV chip from an alley we searched through and found a footage of a man tracking us. He was also able to communicate outside of the Gate which was suspicious because Four and I weren't able to have another way of other connections in the West but the guy easily did.... Nine, the man knew Four and I are from PHANTOM Alpha and I think he's sending out more of his men to search for everyone else."
Five gulped down his saliva, beads of sweat starting to form on the sides if his face. Eight started pacing around and Nine was busy calling for Three and piecing everything possible together.
"What else did you get Six?" Nine asked, grabbing a handful of papers after he explained the same thing to Three who started loosing his cool.
"Nothing. That's it so far.... But... Nine I think we'll need help in this.... we're barely a week in here and someone is already tracking us...... Should we contact 'him'?"
Nine widened his eyes, the risk of accidentally revealing Seventeen's identity was worrying him as Six just said it out loud in front of both Five and Eight who stared questioningly at said 'him'.
"Uhh, I'll take care of that. For now, do you have any idea of who the guy could be? Do you think you're being followed lately?"
"No I don't know anything about this... That's why I freaking stole the chip just to find out why Four was suddenly so stiff."
"Alright chill Six. Don't do anything till I call back. I'll contact Four or something...."
The call ended and Six sat on the couch, grabbing his head in frustration.
"H-hyung?"
Five shivered. He always had goosebumps whenever something bad was about to happen. And he was feeling it at that very moment.
"I'm sorry. But relax... We'll figure something out. Let's wait for Nine to call back or something."
Eight patted Five's shoulders in a attempt to calm him down and offered Six a drink to calm his hyperventilated-like-self.
•with Nine and Three•
"Four here."
"Four activate SLC ASAP. We got something very important here."
Though startled, Four complied easily and Nine spilled the beans on what Six had just reported.
"Yeah... To be honest, I did feel like someone was watching me on our first day here."
Nine furrowed his brows at him, "WHAT!?"
"The morning after meeting with Six, I had a migraine when I got back to the hotel. And there was this guy... I felt like he was watching me."
"Four did he follow you in the hotel?" Nine was stern and he was already sweating though he was just asking questions. His heartbeat rose quite quickly but he tried to stay calm.
"No. Last time I saw him was when I got on the elevator before the migraine came."
"Did you notice anything?"
Four thought hard and remembered one little detail. "Yeah... He had black lines on his face.... like the ones Eight had."
"So he was affected by the Augsoid?" Three butted in holding numerous files in his hands.
"I really don't know. I didn't get to see the guy anywhere else after that incident."
Nine turned away from the screen for a brief moment, scrambling through his folders making noises of flipping of papers.
"Four. You better keep an eye on Zero and Seven. We need to be careful. That guy might be from KAIROS and we never knew they had been on our tails the entire time."
"You know I'm not letting them out of my sight especially after Zero got lost."
"Good. Keep extra caution for the meantime. I'll contact you again if we get anything. You better report back though if you get something."
"Got it..."
Nine ended the call and ran a hand through his hair, sighing and trying to even his breathing. He pressed on Seventeen's contact. But it only rang....
"Why isn't she answering?"
Nine tried again and again and again until finally the young Wraith answered.
"Nine? Sorry I missed your calls. I got kinda busy. What's up?"
"Hey Seventeen. Sorry to call so suddenly but...... We need your help." Nine was biting his lips nervously, still taken aback with the current situation.
"Yeah? What's going on??"
"The team's at risk. Someone's tracking Alpha and I think they're from KAIROS. But so far only Six and Four have noticed. We need your help with security. I wanna make sure eveyone stays safe until we get the guy or something. Especially our non-combatants..."
"You mean my arrogant best friend and Gucci-boy?" Seventeen joked, almost like she wanted Nine to relax, reassuring him everything was gonna be alright.
Nine was quite relieved and Seventeen knew how much of a burden it must be for them to feel like they're being watched. And of course, she was gonna help.
"You can count on me Nine. Nothing wrong is gonna happen... Not on my watch."
Nine let a breathe out. His body finally feeling relaxed now that there would be someone out in the city watching them.
"Thank you Jae Eun. Really..."
"Nah, it's what friends do Joon. But you're welcome."
Ending the call, Three approached Nine. "Yah. We'll figure this out. Jae Eun will make sure everyone is safe and we'll catch whoever that was. Be it KAIROS or some punk." Three patted his shoulders. "It's just... Early, hyung. We're barely a week here and someone's already onto us."
"Excuse me, Operatives, we picked something up on the radar. We thought you might wanna see it." Adrian called out from the other end of the plane. Three walked off with Nine following behind him.
Nine leaned against the table, eyeing a certain maroon dot slowly approaching East Gate.
"I haven't seen that dot in a long time." Three sighed, eyes growing larger.
Nine's eyes moved to follow the dot of Four, just a few miles behind the maroon dot.
"Contact Four.... in the coms. Go." Nine instructed.
Three reached for his ear, pressing on his coms.
"Four. You're headed back to East Gate right?" Three questioned, to make sure.
"Yeah, why? Got another homework for me?" The assassin's statement was filled with sarcasm but Three ignored it. "Listen to me for a minute. Head for the Gate right now, we have a KAIROS Op on the radar. But DO NOT engage once you spot the operative. I'll send you a shortcut."
On the other end of the line, Four sped walked passed the crowds heading back for the Gate as Three instructed but got confused in an instant as to why Three didn't sound like mentioning who it was. "I'm on my way. Send me that shortcut."
Three went off typing and sent it right away while Nine sighed once again, a hand massaging his temple.
"Such bad timing...."
