Claire





"What do you think?"


"I think it's stupid." Hannah mumbles. Two sisters bonding hurray. I watched her picked a new green top. "Your wardrobe is going green, Hannah." I told her as I placed back the bottoms on the rack. "Well, I love it." She grins as she walked past me to another aisle. I shook my head as I continued to find my own taste. "Uh sorry-" A hand brushed against my arm.

"No, it's okay!" I replied with a reassuring smile.

The male looked like he had a mental breakdown. "I- umm.." He stutters. I squinted my eyes and looked at him closely, "Are you alright?"

"Donghyuck! Does yellow match with this kind of blue-" Another male appeared and he seemed shorter than him. "Are you his friend? He looks ill." I told him, pointing at his disoriented expression of the guy named Donghyuck. "Hyuck, let's go." His friend tug his arm but he refused to leave. "Renjun, I think we should do it." He turns to him with desperation. "You'll get us in trouble if we do it now." He replies under his breath.

"Uh boys, I'm right here." I waved at them. "She'll get in trouble as well. I know you want to do it but now is not the time." Renjun pulls his arm. "To cut the chase, I know you're Claire Bang." The shorter one says. "We'll meet again soon so let's pretend we just bumped into each other like uni classmates."

I didn't get why that Renjun dude said that but they both looked anxious. "You two owe me an explanation." I whispered back, Renjun only smirked as he took Donghyuck with him. I'll be waiting agents. "Who were those two cute guys just now?" Hannah came back with a bag. "Ah, uni classmates. Decided to say hi." I grinned.

A week passed. The two boys didn't uttered a word but hey they attended the very same university as I did. The two were undeniably close and seemed like they're ignoring me on purpose. Seungmin noticed the two males and immediately averted his gaze away. "You know those two?" Jeongin asks. I turned to him with a smile, "I met them at an elective." I lied.

Seungmin looked uncomfortable, shifting his seat towards Jeongin. I shrugged my shoulders as I tried eating my sandwich in peace.

I texted Felix that I'd be home late since I got extra work to do in the uni. Being the generous student I am, I sorted books for the librarian. No actually, I spilled the vase on him so—he stalked me in my department to clean up. "Claire Bang, 21, Education major." He says as he walked around like some hawk.

"Would it hurt if you help me instead?" I looked at ash brown haired male with annoyance. He only replied with half crescent eye grin, "No."

I rolled my eyes as I turned back to the shelf. "You really dug up my information that easily huh?" I mumbled. "I have my ways." He replied. Of course, my reputation as a Bang wasn't new. It's just annoying since my brother is hella famous and now all of a sudden everyone knows me. "What's your name anyway?" I didn't know this student librarian but he's pretty popular. Judging how he acts and dresses up, he should be taken by now. No reply from the male. Shaking my head, I didn't bother to ask again since the books were messed up.

After sorting, I turned to him and asked the same question. He looked up from his phone, "Hm?"

"Kinda unfair you know me and I don't know you." I shot back.

"Ah sorry darling, Lee Jeno." He chuckles. flirt. Now I know why he's popular somehow but not the case. He seemed reserved than most guys. He almost reminds me of a dog. woof. "Lee Jeno?" I repeated in a quieter tone.

"You know you're a fucking idiot."
"Shut the hell up Huang."

We both turned to two guys bickering loudly who just arrived. The two males stopped and noticed the situation. "Jeno what—what is this?" Donghyuck looked at the male who just smirked as he placed back the reading on the table. "Of course this." Jeno replies back, earning a glare from him. The three began bantering at each other like there's no end.

"You tailed us again, didn't you?!" Renjun looked betrayed.
"I had to know, you know that better than anyone Jun." Jeno kept a straight face.
"To hell with your loyalty of the crown, I'm sick of it!" Donghyuck exclaimed as he pulled Jeno's collar. "Hyuck let go." Renjun pulled the tanned male away.

Jeno fixed his collar and sighed. "I know eventually you were gonna find Claire for answers." The male glanced at me. "Me?" I uttered.

"What's your motive Jeno? You usually don't dive into some rendezvous with us." Renjun stood in front of me. The pale male scoffed as he pushed the short male away from him.

"Claire, you don't remember me or any of us?" Jeno stared at me with curiosity.

"Who—"

"We get it Jen, she's brainwashed. You're here to blow their agency's biggest secret for how long?!" Renjun held his shoulder and pulled him away from me. I stood in shock, a secret, brainwashed? What the hell us happening?! I could see Donghyuck's face filled with shock and regret. Jeno only smirked until Renjun realized of what he just did.

"I mean.." Renjun slowly mumbles. The other males only watched them

"You definitely owe me an explanation now, Agent Huang." I glared at him.
