By the way let's start! ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎
7:49, Busan International Port
Kwon Taekjoo
*Leaning against the door frame* 💭Are we departing now?
He was indifferently observing those constant movements when a small mechanical sound suddenly came from his left ear. Next, someone's voice rang out
Unknown
📲 How does it feel to be sailing through the sea at night?
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 Not bad, it's loud and crowded, but also pretty boring.
Taekjoo's eyes were still direct towards the deck. He carefully looked at each person passing by, but no one particularly stood out.
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 Give me the report.
Unknown
📲 Kim Yeonghee is the contract, and Lee Cheoljin is an officer for the North Korea Ministry of State Security. They're bothered on the ship.
Unknown
📲 He'll likely head for China as soon as he arrives in Japan
Unknown
📲 As for Kim Yeonghee, she reserved a ferry that leaves tomorrow evening at Shimonoseki.
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 Then I'll probably make contract before we arrive.
Taekjoo muttered to himself and quickly left the balcony.
Unknown
📲 Are you going to start moving now?
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 Yeah, the best hide-and-seek players tend to take bolder approaces.
He passed by a group of people gathered in front of the 2nd floor restaurant and examined each face one by one.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 I don't see anyone suspicious in the cafeteria either...
Taekjoo went straight down the stairs leading to the first floor lobby and gave brief instructions.
Kwon Taekjoo
*Whisper* Give me a call.
The phone rang immediately. Taekjoo let the sound vibrate continuosly twice and took the call when he reached the middle of the stairs.
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 I'm on my way, I already ate dinner.
A woman passed by. The collar of her coat stood up looking very awkward.
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 I'm fine, just a bit tired
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 No, you don't have to come pick me up. 💭 that lady...
Taekjoo's black eyes quietly watched that woman.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 She's been staring at the vending machine for a while...
She stood there for a long moment as if choosing a drink. Other people came and then left one by one.
She chose was a green tea. Change poured out of the machine. She picked it up, then gathered the change and returned to the 2nd floor.
Unknown
📲 Target approaching.
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 Alright talk to you later. *end the call*
A man walked in the living room at the back of the lobby. He was wearing a Navy blue beanie and was striding towards the vending machine.
After a while, the man put a 100-yen coin in the slot. At that moment, an arm suddenly reached his shoulder. Then a cheerful clicking sound was heard.
The sound of a coin rolling through a narrow groove. The blue beanie was still holding a hundred yen coin in his hand. That arm suddenly entered the vending machine, choices a drink and pressed the button.
Blue beanie
The hell do ya think you're doing?!
Kwon Taekjoo
You seemed to be having trouble choosing. Wouldn't want you to spend all night here, you know.
Immediately, the blue beanie suddenly swung his hand towards the vending machine. He quickly lifted the lid of the vending machine and picked up something inside. Taekjoo didn't hesitate to step in the lid.
Blue beanie
Ya damn.. bastard!
Blue beanie
*Grab Taekjoo's collar
Kwon Taekjoo
*grab the man's wrist who's holding his collar* Oh geez, I hate grabbing attention
Kwon Taekjoo
You understand that feeling, don't you? Lee Cheoljin.
The man's already angry face suddenly turned pale. Passengers Continued to rush out and quickly surrounded the two people.
Kwon Taekjoo
Everyone does in our line of work.
Blue beanie
...Ah, I get it. *smirk
Lee Cheoljin quickly put his hand inside his jacket, but that arm was immediately lifted up by Taekjoo in a slit second, followed by his head hitting the vending machine.
Taekjoo grabbed his arms and easily snatched the gun. When the gun appeared from nowhere, the gathered onlookers screamed and retreated.
people
-Eeek!!
-H...He's got a gun!!
Meanwhile, Taekjoo lifted the lid of the vending machine and took out the USB. The woman from earlier left it behind.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 This must be the Confidential State Information that Kim Yeonghee left behind.
A Sailor
Excuse me! Coming Through!
A Sailor
Are you alright, sir?
Blue beanie
...I sure ain't gonna go down without a fight.
It happened in just a split second. Lee Cheoljin wrapped his arms around the Sailor's neck and pulled him back. In his other hand hold a sharp knife.
Lee Cheoljin
Go on give it here. *reached out his hand to request
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 Shit, and I thought things were going to smootly.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 I'm definitely going to have to write a letter of apology after this.
Taekjoo looked at the USB on his hand and threw it away without hesitation. The small USB hit the hostage and then fell on the floor.
Lee Cheoljin
*ask the hostage to pick the USB up* You pick it up.
A Sailor
Agh, al.., alright..! *do what he said*
When Lee Cheoljin step back, Taekjoo step closer. Lee Cheoljin's voice cracked with anger.
Lee Cheoljin
Don't follow me!
A Sailor
Please help me... *rub his hands together in supplication*
Lee Cheoljin took a step back and Taekjoo move step forward.
Lee Cheoljin
Not another step!
Lee Cheoljin
Fucking b*stard, I told ya to stop!
Lee Cheoljin
Urgh... 💭 Does this son of a b*tch not care what happens to the hostage?
Lee Cheoljin
Fuck! *Let go of the hostage and run away to the stairs*
Kwon Taekjoo
*Follow him* 💭That way leads to the deck.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭there's no need to rush things.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 The guys practically a mouse stuck in a cage.
Unknown
📲 Sunbae, the bukwan ferry you're on just sent a report to the coast Guard about there being an armed assailant aboard. Did something happen?
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 Let's talk later. I'm about to be very busy.
Unknown
Wait, what- *end call
Lee Cheoljin looked at the dark sea. His hands that were clinging to the railing tightens. Meanwhile Taekjoo gradually narrow the gap. Lee Cheoljin was cornered and swung his weapon wildly into the air.
Lee Cheoljin
I said stop! *he panicked and screamed violenly
Taekjoo took out the Colt. That was the moment Lee Cheoljin's knife turned into a piece of scrap metal
The bullet passed through the target accurately, but the one who collapsed and screamed was not Lee Cheoljin but Kim Yeonghee.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 I knew it'd be Kim Yeonghee
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 I'm not sure if she was aiming at me or Lee Cheoljin. But I've now brought one down.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 Lee Cheoljin up next- *turn around
Just as an unpleasant feeling flashed through Taekjoo's head, Lee Cheoljin's body, which was clinging to the railing, suddenly jumped out.
ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀꨄ︎
*Sigh* it's finally done! (•̀ᴗ•́)و
ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀꨄ︎
My fingers are hurting (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀꨄ︎

ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀꨄ︎
I only got silver on gold ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚
Lee Cheoljin
-Jumps in the dark sea-
Kwon Taekjoo
-Runs to the railing-
Kwon Taekjoo
💭He... Jumped off? when it's this dark? In this freezing weather?
Lee Cheoljin
-swimming to the boat-
Kwon Taekjoo
💭Wait, what's that small... boat...?
Kwon Taekjoo
💭Was the ferry just a rendezvous, while that boat was the real escape route?
Kwon Taekjoo
-Shooting Lee Cheoljin in the water-
Kwon Taekjoo
💭Damn it, if only I hadn't been ordered to bring him back alive...
Lee Cheoljin
-got in the boat safe-
Lee Cheoljin
-Smirk at Taekjoo-
Kwon Taekjoo
-Clenched his teeth in anger- Hah...
Kwon Taekjoo
💭First things, first.
Kwon Taekjoo
-Turn around to Kim Yeonghee-
Kim Yeonghee
-Trembling in pain-
Kim Yeonghee
-Try to pull out something-
Kim Yeonghee pulled a poison and tried to drink it
Kwon Taekjoo
💭No way I'm letting you die in peace.
Taekjoo hit hard on the back of her neck to stop her from suicide. Kim Yeonghee lost conscious.
Kwon Taekjoo
Keep this handkerchief in your mouth and chill out for a bit, Alright?
Taekjoo stuff a handkerchief into her mouth to prevent her from harming herself after she regained consciousness.
Taekjoo accidentally looked down, a ring was on the ring finger Kim Yeonghee's hand.
The exterior has almost no scratches, showing that it was only recently purchased.
Kwon Taekjoo
Pretty ring you've got there. I'll put this bracelet on you to match.
Kwon Taekjoo
-Took a handcuffs and put it in her left arm to the railing-
Kwon Taekjoo
-Turn on the intercom- Yoon Jongwoo I'll give you eight seconds to get here.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭Looks like the tracker I put on him survive the dive.
He pressed the reset button next to the watch, the time indicator disappeared and road markings appeared.
Taekjoo took a deep breath and quickly ran towards the back of the ferry.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭But I can't waste any more time here.
He stood at the end of the deck, then stepped onto the railing and jumped off without hesitation.
Kwon Taekjoo
-Submerged in the water by slowly moving his hand and legs to hold his body-
Yoon Jongwoo
Sunbae! -driving a motorboat engine-
Yoon Jongwoo
God, you could've gone straight to Davy Jones' locker pulling a stunt like this. -helps Taekjoo get in the boat-
Kwon Taekjoo
-gets in the boat-
Kwon Taekjoo
Chase after him. -throw the watch at him-
Yoon Jongwoo steered the boat following the red dot on the clock's direction board.
Yoon Jongwoo
Huh? Sunbae that boat..!
Kwon Taekjoo
-took off his wet jacket and gasped-
A man stepped out of the cockpit and grabbed a rifle. Yoon Jongwoo gritted his teeth and steered.
The bullets from the fishing boat has already shot out with no room left. capturing armed targets is truly absurd order.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭Fuck, they want me to bring punks with guns and knives back alive?
Yoon Jongwoo
-slammed his hand on the steering wheel-
Kwon Taekjoo
out of the way. -Push Yoon Jongwoo out of the chair-
Kwon Taekjoo
-Drives quickly-
Yoon Jongwoo
Waaahh!! We're going to crash into them, Sunbae! We're gonna crash!
Bullets were fired from the wooden boat.
a large stream of water splash onto the deck of the wooden boat.
Taekjoo suddenly turned the steering wheel and made a wide turn.
Lee Cheoljin
Wh, What the...
Kwon Taekjoo
-He increased the boat's speed to the maximum-
Lee Cheoljin
Th, That insane bastard! Is he out of his mind?! -shooting the motorboat-
Yoon Jongwoo
Sunbae! You're gonna get us killed!
Yoon Jongwoo
We're gonna die!!
Yoon Jongwoo
Fucking listen to me, you crazy piece of shit!!
Taekjoo drives faster, holding the steering wheel tight. Soon, the right side of the wooden boat touched the stern of the motor boat with a thud.
The entire boat seemed to float in the air.
Yoon Jongwoo
-Slowly open his eyes- hm?
Yoon Jongwoo
I... I'm alive?
Kwon Taekjoo
-walk towards the wooden boat-
Kwon Taekjoo
-illuminating the surroundings with flashlight and sees the two-
Taekjoo grabs a fishing net and throws it towards the fleeing men. The spread out of the air and flew away.
The Two men who were swimming diligently suddenly became entangled in a net that had just flown in.
Taekjoo observed that fierce battle for a while then turned the machine connected to the fishing net.
Yoon Jongwoo
Has, what next?
Kwon Taekjoo
-moved towards the motor boat and was busy looking for something-
Yoon Jongwoo
... Hey, what are you doing?
Kwon Taekjoo
Did you prepare what I asked for?
Yoon Jongwoo
Oh, yes it's under the driver's seat.
Kwon Taekjoo
Report back to HQ that we've secured Lee Cheoljin, his accomplice, and the USB.
Kwon Taekjoo
I subdued the contact, Kim Yeonghee, on the Bukwan ferry. The coast Guard probably found her by now.
Kwon Taekjoo
Contact them and tell them to pass her on to us.
Yoon Jongwoo
What? S-Sunbae, it sounds awfully like you're telling me to do all this by myself...
Kwon Taekjoo
Of course I am.
Yoon Jongwoo
Then what about you?
Yoon Jongwoo
💭This crazy piece of shit has plans got a family gathering to attend.
Yoon Jongwoo
what? But, Sunbae, You made a hole in this boat...
Kwon Taekjoo
I'm out, peace. ✌

ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀꨄ︎
Helloo ˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙
ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀꨄ︎
I'm not going to say anything, so let's start! O(〃＾▽＾〃)o
Kwon Taekjoo
💭Whew... It feels so much better to be in clean clothes.
A taxi that he had called earlier was waiting for when he walked out onto the main road. He got in the car and went to Busan station.
Announcement of KTX train departing for Seoul: Attention, passengers. Passengers who are boarding the ten a.m. KTU train to Seoul, please go to platform number three.
Kwon Taekjoo
📲Hello, mother I just got on the train. The event ran late, so this was the only train I could get on.
Kwon Taekjoo
📲Please just rest at home. it's going to take at least two hours even without any delays.
Taekjoo's mom- When will you get to Seoul?
Kwon Taekjoo
📲The Train departs at ten, so I'll probably arrive at around one.
Taekjoo's Mom- 📲Should I come pick you up at the station?
Kwon Taekjoo
📲No, it's fine. I'll take a taxi.
Taekjoo's mom- Don't stop by anywhere, and come straight home alright?
Kwon Taekjoo
📲Alright, I'll go straight there this time. I'm hanging up now.
Kwon Taekjoo
-Hangs up- 💭 Finally... I should get some sleep on the train.
Announcement: Hello, passengers. Thank you for riding our train today. This KTX train bound for Seoul will be departing soon.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭That's my work phone. -annoyed-
Kwon Taekjoo
💭My mission's over now. Who's calling? Let me get off work... please...
People
:-Whisper- You hear that?
:-Whisper- Ugh, whose phone is that? Can't they pick up already?
Kwon Taekjoo
-Answer the phone-
Kwon Taekjoo
📲Why does that matter to you, Sir?
Kwon Taekjoo
💭I knew it'd be Chief Im...
Unknown
📲I was hoping we could talk in person.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭is it because of the mess I caused on the ferry earlier?
Kwon Taekjoo
💭I suppose it'll be difficult to clean up the aftermath since the police even get involved, but still..
Kwon Taekjoo
📲That was really the best I could do for the mission.
Unknown
📲 I know so come to the office, Let's have a chat.
Kwon Taekjoo
📲Please give me a break, sir. it's my mother's birthday.
Unknown
📲 I won't keep you for long.
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 My train's already departing how do you expect me to go to you?
The KTX train that was operating smoothly suddenly stopped. Passengers who were listening to music or playing games on their phones looked around in surprise and bewildering.
Unknown
📲Go on and get off.
Kwon Taekjoo
📲 What the...
Announcement: Attention, passengers our train has come to a brief stop because an issue was found with a track
We will depart as soon as the problem is resolved. Thank you for your understanding.
Unknown
📲Aren't you going to get off?
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 "As soon as the problem is resolved", huh?
Kwon Taekjoo
-sigh- 💭In other words, it won't depart until I get off...
Kwon Taekjoo
📲Hello? Mother it's me. There's a problem with the train, so I'm going to be a bit late.
Kwon Taekjoo
-Walking through the tunnel- 📲No, I promise I'll make it this time. So don't light even a single candle, and please wait for me, okay?
12 p.m. National Intelligence Service (NIS)
Unknown
Taekjoo, you've come a long way. Follow me.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 Chief Im's the one who called me, so why are we at the deputy chief's office?
Unknown
-Open the door- Come on in.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭The first deputy chief...
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 And Chief Im?
Chief Im
I heard you completed your mission in Busan.
Kwon Taekjoo
Yes, I did my best, sir.
Chief Im
No need to explain yourself, that's not why you were called here.
First Chief
While you did stir up more commotion than was needed while carrying out the mission, that's but a small price to pay for prevention our intel from getting leaked. Right Chief Im?
Kwon Taekjoo
💭look at him still criticizing me as a Higher-up, the old fart...
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 But why are these two here together?
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 And why do they need to talk to me?
Kwon Taekjoo
What is this? -take the tablet-
Chief Im
Just take a look at it first. -hands the tablet-
Chief Im
it's special intel. We recently obtained.
Chief Im
Though rumors have been circulating for a while, this is the first time we got a hold of actual solid evidence.
Chief Im
So basically, three years ago, North Korea and Russia held hands to develop a new weapon.
Chief Im
It's sad that this new weapon is unlike anything all the other nations have seen before.
Chief Im
Some even speculate that should it be successfully created, it'll completely shift the global balance of power.
Chief Im
Codename: Anastasia.
Chief Im
We're not sure if that name belongs to the weapon itself...
Chief Im
... or the secret alliance between North Korea and Russia to develop it.
Chief Im
... it could even be the name of the blueprint or the designer.
Chief Im
We don't know if the weapon has already been created or not either.
Chief Im
we need to find out what that weapon is. A lack of information leads to an imbalance in power, after all.
First Chief
If "Anastasia" hasn't been completed yet, and If it's within our power, we must stop it from ever seeing the light of day.
Chief Im
It doesn't matter how we achieve it since it's for the safety of the world and mankind. -smirk-
Chief Im
If a small act of evil is necessary to prevent a much bigger one, then so be it. we'll have to do a bit of stealing.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 in other words, they want me to find out what this weapon is.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 And I'd I can, I should also steal the blueprint and Intel on it. But if I can't, I should just destroy it entirely?
I've been dispatched overseas many times.
After joining the NIS, I became fluent in Chinese, Persian, and even Russian. so there's no reason I can't go to Russia.
However, they must know that field experience is extremely important in this line of work...
So why would they assign this mission to me when I've never even been to Russia before?
First Chief
Technically speaking, you're not the most eligible person for this job.
Kwon Taekjoo
then you should assign it to the most eligible person.
First Chief
Of course. actually, he was already dispatched.
First Chief
... -clear his throat-
Kwon Taekjoo
I'm guessing it didn't work out.
Kwon Taekjoo
Dominic Morgan. He was an elite agent for the CIA that got sent to Russia. He was found dead by a river four days ago.
Kwon Taekjoo
At the time, he was on a solo mission to uncover "Anastasia".
Kwon Taekjoo
it's a shame what happened to him, considering all his years of gathering Russia intel.
Kwon Taekjoo
Russia officials deemed him an unregistered civilian, which was to be expected since he went there under a fake identity.
Kwon Taekjoo
However, it's doubtful they actually just brushed him off as such.
Kwon Taekjoo
Surveillance in Russia must've become stricter after that. then does the U.S. want us to do their dirty work?
Chief Im
You're always so quick to take a hint. I like that.
Chief Im
Since North Korea is involved in this, we're also technically at risk here. We can't just stand by and do nothing.
Chief Im
I heard you knew agent Morgan from our joint training camp with the U.S.
Kwon Taekjoo
Well, that was the only time I knew him, to be exact. And it was only for a month.
Chief Im
That's why you're the best for this. You don't let personal feelings get in the way of work.
Kwon Taekjoo
💭 tsk, he's changing the subject...
First Chief
Excuse me for a moment. -leaves the room-
Chief Im
Continue agent Morgan's mission and find "Anastasia."
