Summary: A NIS agent by the name of Lee Jinki is given a mission to penetrate into Kim Arts Corporation, and become one of Mr. Kim's underlings to uncover his illegal drug trafficking. Lee Jinki has never failed a mission before, but he meets a young beautiful boy named Kim Kibum, son of the owner of Kim Arts, that changes everything.
A/N: Everything that is in italics, it's Jonghyun talking to Jinki at the hospital. Jinki is remembering everything that Jonghyun told him.
My head was completely blank, I was getting extremely tired of all of this. This was getting more complicated, and for once I wanted this mission to be over in an instant, but I had come to a conclusion that I had to go through this plan, and I was glad Jonghyun was willing to help. What really matter to me the most was the cute pretty boy living inside this mansion, he had me worried, completely worried, and I was afraid that maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't be able to protect him from everything.
Jonghyun had been in the hospital for three days already. At first it was hard for us to see him endure the pain, but he always had a smile on his face, saying that he was alright, that we shouldn't worry, but we knew it was hard for him to keep that smile. He told me why he did it, why he saved me from getting shot. He said he didn't want anything to happen to me, for two simple reasons, he was going to need me to get Mr. Kim, and the other...
"I know you love Kibum, and I know he loves you. I didn't want him to suffer seeing you in a pool of blood... like my mother with my dad." the last part was said almost in a whisper.
Visiting him for several hours a day, I had learned more than I should from the Kim family, and his life. We talked about our plan.
"I don't plan to kill him... even though I thought about it. I just want him to suffer alive, it's worse than being dead." he said.
----
"He will be released from the hospital tomorrow morning, Sir." I bowed, and left his office.
I was finally laying on my bed with my eyes closed, just thinking, of what? I was not sure. Too many thoughts roaming through my head, that I didn't know where should I start.
I heard a knock on the door, and I barely opened my eyes glancing at the door. I was about to get up, but I heard the handle moved, as the door opened slightly. I could almost see his head being revealed, glancing inside the room just to see me laying on the bed. The petite boy took a step inside closing the door slowly, not noticing I was watching every single step he took. He walked cautiously trying not to make any noise, and walked to the side where I was kneeling right beside me on the floor. After a moment, I felt him leaning towards me. I could feel him getting closer by every second that passed. His breath lingered freely on my lips, and I tried not to pin him down and kiss him at that moment.
"If you only knew how much I love you... every single thing about you." he whispered softly, caressing my cheeks with his index finger.
I felt a needle stabbed my heart. If he only knew how I felt.
For several minutes he stayed there, just observing me. If I couldn't give him my love, at least I wanted him to have this. This moment. I wanted him to stare at me as long as he wanted.
Silence broke when I heard him whispering quietly my name and poking me on the shoulders trying to wake me up. If he only knew I was already awake from the start.
I knew this kind of small cute things were going to be over soon. Well they were when he was cold towards me, and I felt he was ignoring me before Red kidnapped him, but I knew why he did it, and I didn't blame him for it or questioned him about it. He had the right to do what he felt at that time, but then it went back to normal after we had our little talk one night, making us closer, and forgetting about the past.
--flashback--
It was already late at night, we stood outside on the large balcony the mansion had. After coming back from the hospital, and going our separate ways Kibum saw me walking down the hallway and said he wanted to have a small talk with me, and I agreed. I knew he had many thing on his mind, and he wanted them to get them cleared. We stood outside watching the gleaming stars both deep in thought, waiting for someone to start a conversation.
"I... I..." he finally began, "I want to thank you for everything you have done, thank you for protecting me, thank you for saving my life." I glaced at him, and he was looking intensely at the sky. He looked perfect under the moonlight, and I tried not to pulled him into my embrace immediately, and have him in my arms at least for tonight.
"Thank you." he looked back, and I tried not to blush just by looking at him.
"Don't worry, it's my job to do that, you don't have to thank me." I answered. I could see he looked a little disappointed at the answered that I gave, and he tried to hide it with a small smile.
"But still... I wanted to say it." he said biting his lips, he was nervous.
We stood still as we went back at looking at the dark sky and the landscape in front of us. I wanted to make things better between us, and if I kept doing this, making him think that everything I do for him is because of my job, and that I don't care for him at all, I felt I was going to lose him soon, so I decided to be just a little sincere for once.
"I was really worried that I wasn't going to find you, I tried to search for you everywhere, and when I actually found you... I... I..." I paused. I was having trouble trying to to finish what I wanted to say. I was afraid to keep going, afraid I was going to spill something that I shouldn't say, but I saw the change in his eyes. He liked what he was hearing, and I could sense he was waiting for something, "I was happy, really happy." I knew it wasn't something he was hoping to hear, but he still smiled sincerely, content from what I have said.
"For a moment I thought no one was going to find me. I have never been that scared. Actually I have always been afraid that something might happened to me, but after you came, all my fears went away." he murmured softly, his cheeks started to blush.
I have never felt so much sincere coming from someone.
"I was grateful that I found you, and I will always try to be there for you." I said, and he nodded.
"I believe you. I will always believe in you."
His statement stunned me for a second, this is definitely not what I wanted to hear, but I couldn't say or do anything at all, at least not today. How much I wanted him to know the truth, the truth of the real reason that I'm here right beside him. Will he still believe in me after this? will he still care for me? or will he just refuse to see me? I shook my thoughts away, and I could see he was staring at me, "Please do." I manage to say, and he responded with a nod.
--end--
"What is it Kibum?" I groan, opening my eyes completely as I saw his bright eyes sparkling, and a huge grin on his face. Too cute for words.
"I need your help Onew!" he pouted immediately.
I came into a sitting position, leaning on one arm, "What do you need?" I asked with curiosity.
"Tomorrow morning we have to pick up Jonghyun from the hospital, and I really wanted to do something special like a welcome home party kinda thing, and I want everything done by today, so I need you to take me to the mall to buy him a present, and we need to go to the bakery store, then we need balloons, and then..."
"Okay I get it. Then let's go." I rubbed my eyes.
"Thank you, thank you!" he repeated.
I grabbed one of his hands, and with my other hand I caressed his cheeks with my thump, and stared at his doll eyes. I could see he was surprised from the sudden touch, "You don't have to thank me Kibum, I will always do whatever you tell me." I saw a blush creeping out of his cheeks, as he tried to bring his face down, in order for me not to see his cherry face, but I brought his gaze back at me, and I finished with "because it's my job."
I released him, and I finally stood up from my bed. Making my way to the small couch I had in my room, grabbing my jacket.
"Because it's my job. It's always because of that." I could hardly hear him mocking me. I knew he was annoyed, and I knew I shouldn't be doing that, but I couldn't helped it, I loved his flushed face.
"What did you say?" I asked.
"Nothing." He stood up, and scrunched his face just a little, and pouted his rosy lips making him look more adorable than what he already was.
"Where should we head first?"
"To the mall." his pout changed into a smile again. He took the lead and we headed outside, going down stairs, where we saw Mr. Kim sitting in the living room, something very strange to my sight since I have always seen him engrossed with his paper work inside his dim office.
"Father!" Kibum ran to his side hugging him, something that as much as I liked seeing the lovely scene happening right in front of me, I hated it and it hurt in a way. Seeing Kibum grinning at the sight of his father, loving him. I was afraid his smile was going to fade, as soon as he realizes what his father has been up to, and as much as I didn't want that to happen I knew it wasn't that long for everything to be out on the open, and ready to harm the most precious person of them all.
"Are you going out?"
"Yes, I need to buy everything I need for Jonghyun's welcome back party, and you are invited." he giggled.
"Glad to hear that. For a moment there, I thought I wasn't." Mr. Kim tried to make a hurt expression, following by small laugh. Kibum gave him a soft hit on his shoulders, and both started laughing.
"Well then, I'll be right back. I'm taking Onew with me."
"Oh! then wait a minute. I would like to talk to him for just a few seconds, and then you can have him all for yourself, okay?"
"Okay." Kibum nodded, looking at his father standing up from the white couch coming towards me.
"I need to talk to you for a moment Onew."
"Yes Sir." I bowed.
We headed to the beautiful small garden the library had, that was right beside the living room. It was a large beautiful white room, with some few things in pink, like the pillows, and the curtains, and then the glass chandelier in the middle of the room, made the room look more elegant. It made my wonder why no one used this room, not even Kibum, but then I remembered what Jonghyun had said...
"Kibum's mother used to love books, so Mr. Kim decided to make her a large library, but then after the accident, no one was allowed to go in, not even Kibum." Then, why were we standing here side by side, enjoying the wonderful scenery at the library's garden?
“I have something to inform you.”
I came back from my thoughts, and I looked back at him, and I knew what he was about to say. Jonghyun had told me in the hospital about the next arrival, and about what we were going to do.
“In three days our new merchandise is going to arrive, and I want you to be there with me as my right hand man.”
“Sir, are you saying you are going to be there too?” I knew the answer but I acted oblivious at what he was trying to tell me.
“Yes, this arrival is very important to me, more important than anything that has been done, and I want to be there to make sure everything will be in place, and of course I will need your help.”
"You can always count on me, Sir."
"I know," he patted my shoulder, "I just wanted to tell you this so you could prepare yourself for what is coming." He smiled. I was not sure but I felt something different in his voice, was he warning me of something?
"You can leave know, Kibum is waiting for you."
"Yes Sir." I bowed and left the library, noticing a picture frame, hanging on the wall, covered with a blanket, not able to see who was in the picture.
I saw Kibum still sitting on the couch in the large neat living room with his legs crossed, reading what it seemed like a fashion magazine. I cleared my throat for him to notice me. His face brighten at the sight of me and abandon the magazine on the coffee table as he stood up. We both smiled at each other as he walked closer to me.
"Let's go and have fun!" he said, grabbing my hand.
Going to the mall was not something that I liked, specially if it was crowded, since I had to keep and eye on Kibum all the time. I knew there wasn't any danger after Red left, but there could still be someone else wanting to take revenge on Mr. Kim by using Kibum as their target. I only sighed at the thought.
"Yah, Onew! are you listening to me?" He looked at my dumbfounded face, and he already knew the answer.
"Want to go grab a cup of coffee?" he repeated, and I nodded. He link his arm with mine taking me to the nearest coffee shop outside the mall. It wasn't the first time he linked arms with me, and I really didn't mind at all. It was a way to keep him close.
On our way to the coffee shop I could hear some teenage girls talking loudly.
"OMG! the make such a cute couple!", and as I heard them, I felt my arm tighten. I took a small glance at Kibum, and I saw he wink at them, making the girls squeal with excitement.
"Yeobo! don't you think we make a cute couple?!" he said loudly, so the girls could hear him, and as I looked at him, I could see him grinning widely. I have to say I loved his playful side.
"You are really enjoying this, aren't you?" I said between teeth, but still nodded in order to play his little game.
"Don't you just love it." he whispered and giggled while listening to the girls squealing with excitement, and saying how much they wanted to have that kind of relationship with their future boyfriends.
We spend the rest of the day shopping, buying everything he needed for the surprise party. As we got home, he began to put everything in place, ready for tomorrow.
Night came and the both us headed to our own rooms. I had to admit I loved days like these, when everything seem so peaceful, and spending time with Kibum was the best part of all. I still didn't know how he manage to make my heart flutter every single time I saw him.
I took my clothes off and wore a tank top with a comfortable blue sleeping pants. I made my way to my bed, throwing myself, covering my face with a pillow. It had been days, that I wasn't able to get a good night sleep. To many thoughts, wouldn't allowed me to, and for once I wished I could just forget about everything, and get a good night sleep for once.
I heard a light knock on the door, and I was wondering from who it was, until a heard Kibum whispering my name, and knocking on the door a little bit louder. This time he wasn't able to come in on his own since I had locked to door this time. I got up, and I took few steps to get close to the door. I opened it, and a cute sleepy Kibum was in front me, holding his pink pillow on the side.
"What happened Kibum?"
"Nightmare." he said looking at the floor.
"He dreams about the night his mother died, but he only remembers when two men come out of a car, and his mother tells him she loves him."
I took a step closer to embrace him, and I feel his small hands circling my waist.
"Are you okay now?" I feel him nod on my chest. "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?" I feel another nod.
"Come in."
"His mother was killed that night by those men."
We laid on the bed facing each other, only the pink pillow separated us. I could see him perfectly even though it was dark.
"She got out of the car, and both men grabbed her. She tried to fight back."
"I wish these nightmares could go away." he whispered.
"They first stabbed her, and then shot her on the head."
"They will go away soon, Kibum. Don't worry." I grabbed his hand that was resting on the pillow, and started caressing it.
"Kibum at that time got out of the car and ran as fast as he could, until he tripped, and hit his head with a rock. That is why he doesn't remember clearly."
"I will always be with you." I assured him.
"Thank you" he leaned closer, and I could see his eyes shining every time he got closer. I could feel his breath as he suddenly pecked me on the lips. He was about to go back to how he was, but I couldn't control myself any longer. I wanted to feel those lips again. I cupped his face, and pulled him back, making our lips crash.
"It was the day my parents died also."
And as I was kissing him, bringing him closer, three words slipped out of my mouth that I couldn't hold any longer.
"It was all an order from Mr. Kim."
"I love you."
