Chapter 2: You've Got To Be KIDDING ME!
*Seoul Airport - Day - Morning*June 15 on the year of 2018, we screen down to an airport where we see multiple citizens moving around, we see a small groups of boys that looks like students who are probably going on an execution are seated in a group playing games. we move again and we catch our target as he leaves the plane booth with his silver suitcase wearing an ordinary grey shirt and dark Blue Jeans with an ear piece plugged into his right ear while the other dangles as he walks, he looks just like an ordinary man with no sense of suspicious as he eyes his phone on his way but if you look closer you will see that he is surveying the area for any trap or threats but sees non and continues on his way. he gets out into the world and spots a car with his name on it 'given to him by the company' he throw his suitcase into the booth and sat down in the back while the driver drove out and into the world, on his way he let his thoughts run free.
'What a life, after all the missions I have done I get sent to this shit hole of a country which I wish never to return to. can't my life get any worse'
he thought while looking outside his car window to see multiple building passing by and also the setting sun that brings out the beauty of the town. he thought back to how this all started.
'PAST'
In the 10th of June 2018 in America, he had just returned from his last mission having done his best at completing the mission even though some life's where lost on his side and nothing could have prepared them for the outcome, there were ambushed by the mafia's who they were sent to pursue and persecute for their crime against the government. six of his crew mate lost their life's while 4 were badly injured and now in probation leave until they can regain their position again. he had just returned from apologizing to the families of his lost comrades, all he could do was kneel down and receive their tears and beating on how he failed to protect his crew as a leader. he took of his coat and left it on the couch beside him, he walked into his bed and throw himself on top not caring about taking off his shoes.
"Life sure is a pain"
he murmured while pressing his face into the sweet soft bed and allowed sleep to take him away but before he could finally sleep in peace.
'Ringing!'
he was startled and jumped up ready for action to see that the threat was his broken body of a phone that could wake even Sleeping Beauty from her immense coma, he bent down and took his phone only to drop it again when the dialer was identified as his Agent (manager), he grumbled.
"COME ON!, I just finished a mission that could take others months to finish in less than 3 week, gone to bow and apologized to the parents of the killed crew mate just to come back thinking, all is well and adequate sleep is needed to fuel my brain cell before I flop dead right then to only be meant by this Bombshell of a disaster"
he did all this while rubbing his hair with his hand and walking left and right, he flopped unto his bed and took the phone from the table next to a flower pot and answered the call. the first thing he heard was?.
"YOU LITTLE SHITHOLE OF A BOY, DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN CALLING U,..... A MOTHERS CHILD OF THREE YEARS OLD HAVE MORE BRAINS THAN YOU EVER WILL!"
"Ahjumma!, how cruel of you to insult your favorite child like that... for shame"
he stated acting like a kid who was scolded for stealing sweets from a shop, while acting innocently.
"FOR SHAME MY ASS....GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE!"
"wait!, you're HERE!" he stated shocked.
"look out your window blockhead!"
a voice called from outside the window, he walked up to the balcony and looked down seeing his manager standing next to a blue van, he couldn't see her face from up here but he guessed she was angry given by the way she was fuming by the mouth and the insult he had just received, he giggled.
'still predictable as ever Ahjumma, when will you ever change'
"I'll be right down"
Kim stated, taking his coat and runing off towards the elevator to catch a lift down, he remembered the first time he had meant his manager,
'she looked younger but still had little grey hair lining some part of her usually brown hair, her temper was enough to shoke anyone into submission which gave him pleasure to always make her angry and see her Adam apple rail up in anger. she was strict and hard on him never showing emotion until her son passed away three years ago, she quit coming to work leaving him and the others to worry about her, he took it as his right to make her happy so he adopted the role of being her son seeing as him and the boy where born in the same year and month. she was finally able to smile, returning to her usual self while having a son(him) to dot on her like a mother. it brought laughter to the agency when Kim was seen runing away from his responsibilities as a leader while she chase him with files in her hands shouting what ever comes to mind'
his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the elevator down opening and he walked in, eager to see her reaction. he got off and ran outside to meat face to face to a masked man taking a grey long bag from an elderly woman,
'am in a hurry but I can't let this stand'
he ran off and gave the man an uppercut kick to the jaw instantly rendering the man unconscious, as he plummeted unto the hard concrete floor the bag flew from his hand and landed straight into Kim's, he took the bag and gave it back to the woman.
"Thank you kind sir....for helping this old lady"
she stated giving him a bow of gratitude, he quickly stopped her from finishing her bow
"No, No worries ma'am, No need for that...I'm just doing what I can"
he bowed looking shivery when he saw that all eyes were on him, some took the liberty of taking pictures and videos of the whole thing.
"KIM YOUNG SU, WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU FOR MAKING ME WAIT, I WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU'LL EVER SEE!"
a loud voice was heard coming from the parking lot outside sounding more angry than before, Kim Young su paled.
'OH!.... SHIT AM LATE!'
he thought as he ran for his dear life towards the parking lot to see his manager Mrs Smith looking as if ready to tramper everything in her pact, he stopped a few feet from her breathing heavily as if his life depended on it and it may just if she gets through with him.
"Ahjumma!, sorry am late, I got hanged up by a old lady whose bag had been"
"Just get in the van!"
she stated cutting him off entirely, Kim smiled and got into the van with his manager beaming like a child. the ride to the agency was filled with Mrs Smith telling him to be more serious about his responsibility since his the leader and that she won't always be there to remind him.
"I know, I know....., always show the power of a leader by being a leader..., you already told me like a million times already, can't I get a break for once my vacation is almost here" Kim stated looking bored.
"Nope!, and I will continue to remind you until you finally act like one, you may be the top agent for your stealth, strength and action in the field but at home you act like a kid in a 21 year old body,...for Christ sake....Grow up!" Mrs Smith stated looking angry.
she turned back to the road while Kim took a magazine from the van seat and read it stopping for a minute just to see the van pull into the parking lobby of the agency, the agency was disguised as a finance agency seeing as most of the founders where accounters, it made it a good disguise given that they are known as one of the top finance company in the world making it very hard for their opponents to pinpoint their location, thanks to their fame and popularity even the government and rich men of the society are backing them up.
the van pulled over and Kim got out already walking towards the door guarded by two security agents, Mrs Smith trails behind him with a few feet apart from him. he stopped in front of an elevator that had the sign 'out of commission' in police tape written across. he pressed the elevator button in a given form only an agent will know.
'up, up, down, up'
'🔔 ting!'
the elevator door opened, Kim passed the tape and entered waiting only for Mrs Smith before he push the number '109' at the left corner and as the elevator door closed another at the back opened revealing a world(place) coloured white filled with people moving left and right, operators where seen pulling out people's images to identify them being showed on the screen for everyone to see, men and women in black where seen practicing combat or checking out disguises for their mission, some were talking to their managers or moving files around. he got out of the elevator with Mrs Smith, he was treated with respect as many of the junior agents greeted him as he moved alonged, he neared a door with the sign 'OS room' engraved in the center, he pulled the door and entered,
"Big boss, why was I called in ag…" he came in only to see his boss quickly hide his phone but nothing could mistake the sound that came from it.
"come on darling, let's do the jumbo dance!" stated from the phone.
'cough'
"I seem to have intrude in something" Kim stated looking lost.
"maybe I should come back another time" Kim stated looking like he wants to get out of there Asap.
"WAIT!" his boss stated switching 'BOSS MODE' on and giving a serious face even though his first appearance had already been tarnished.
"the reason you where called in has not been stated yet Mr Kim, so... I don't need the balls to tell you to take your sit"
his boss stated giving off a voice of authority which looked weird given that he left his phone on and the jumbo song rang out loud and clear for everyone to hear. he quickly took the phone and turned it off so as not to embarrass himself more while Kim took his seat at one of the couch waiting for insight of his call to the office. he thought
'am I getting fired, but that can't be am the best in the agency, maybe am being demoted for my recklessness in the field or maybe it's because of that time I put Pepper instead of sugar into his coffee, I remember him tuning around like a chicken looking for a way to cool off, when he emerged from the cold spring his facial expression was hilarious'
Kim thought with a smile and a hint of mischief in his eyes, he looked up only to see his boss slamming a file registered private on the table in front of him, he opened the file and scanned it while his boss explained his mission.
"the person identified in this case is Mr Park, a celebrity in Hong Kong who would be returning to his home in Seoul(south korea)"
"after a series of event that took place in the gamza party in Hong Kong the government have decided to give him protection and"
"wait!,.....where do I come in on this" Kim stated cutting off his boss.
"your are...."
"his protection" his boss stated with a devilish smile on his face. Kim looks like he was on the verge of total meltdown.
"is this because of that prank I played on you on your blind date, it was just a dare and it only did a little harm" Kim stated.
"A LITTLE HARM! "
"you completely burned my Italian suit that cost me $10,500 dollars but that wasn't enough you even went and sprayed a bucket of paint on my date.....intentionally"
"how did you even get the paint there in the first place!" his boss stated looking ready to kill.
"well you see the restaurant...." Kim stated
"stop!.... I don't want to know" his boss said
"If I wanted to give you a punishment, cleaning all the toilet of the entire building for 2 years would be more fitting than making you a bodyguard to a famous celebrity"
he stated flopping down into his chair looking stressed, Kim looked scared having thought of cleaning all the toilets including section B whose toilets can make anyone fall ill, he knows this by experience.
"this was issued by the superior heads, in which I have no say in what goes"
"take the file and get out, all the information you need is in it"
"your flight leaves an hour from now so you better run home and pack" he stated chasing Kim out of his office.
"so... what happened" Mrs Smith asked as he got out of the room. he looked at her and decided to just flop unto the ground.
"I'm a bodyguard" he murmured
"well that's not bad given your personality you fit the role perfectly" she stated with a smirk on her face.
"Ahjumma!, whose side are you on" he stated jumping up from the ground
"the winning side"
"you better get packing,...have fun in Hong Kong Kim, I think your gonna like it there!"she said walking away, all Kim could do was stand there and looked betrayed.
"I was betrayed by my own Mother, what has the world become!"
'PRESENT'
he was awoken from his sleep when the car was stopped too quickly for someone's liking, he opened his eyes to be greeted by the sun as it shines brightly in it's place up there in the Sky, he could hear some noises and decided to ask the driver what was all the ruckus about.
"what's going on" he stated sounding sleeping
"there seem to be a little situation at the front,.... sir please don't worry about it" the driver stated trying to look calm
'what could cause a holdup at this dead of the day where the sun is blazing hot threating to burn everything it touches'
he got out of the car and decided to see what the commission was all about, he moved from his car passing every other car that was stuck in this God forsaken traffic. he reached the front and saw a man and a woman agruing about God's know what but the woman seemed angry while the man looked ready to run for his dear life. he decided to go back since a police officer had already arrived to stop the conflict.
'well at least the holdup will soon be gone, better get back to the car'
he thought as he turned back, he saw a girl running and decided to stop to let her pass seeing that the space was too small for two, but something extraordinary happened, the girl ranned and placed her hand in between his, hiding behind his back. a man appeared looking tried from running, he looked up at Kim as if he was an insect in his way
'Excuse me' Kim thought seeing that the man was eyeing him from up to down as if checking a beautiful lady he had finally caught.
'do I look like a damsel to you' Kim thought annoyed at the man and the girl still holding his hand.
he was ready to pry his hand from the girl and walk away but....
"hey little girl leave the young man alone and come home with me" the man stated looking drunk
the girl stepped out and acted tough saying
"can't you see or are you blind you drunk old man"
"see what?....the boy your holding" the man stated looking unimpressed with the girls acting.
"HIS my Boyfriend!, you deaf old man" she stated looking frustrated
'what' Kim stated looking lost
"if you don't believe me then here!"
before he know it he felt a warm feeling spread unto his lips and at that moment he realized he was being kissed by the girl.
"there!...enough proof for you" she stated with a smirk on her face and a little blush on her cheeks.
'wait'
'What!'
