Agent 205

25

It was a fine Wednesday morning. Me and Taeyong were out in the fields watching the sheep as they ate on the pastures. It was his day off so he decided to go watch the animals with me.

"You know. I'm gonna be frank with you. I don't trust that Ji wan guy."

"Why?"

I raise an eyebrow.

"You know. He's a doctor who takes part in sciemtific researches. He might make you his test subject one day. You shouldn't trust him."

"And I should only trust you? You can turn me into the whole police force and notify the whole government about me. Stop telling me what to do."

I got mad at him. So I stormed away.

"I'm just saying!"

I didn't turn back at him nor did I talk to him much that day. I was just hurt. I didn't also know how to handle this feeling. I feel like a rebellious teen.

I kept thinking about it. Ji wan betraying me? no that won't happen. Ji wan is such a kind guy. He would never.

I reassured myself with those words, though I know well that I also am unsure if I was to really trust him.

Deep inside myself, I know that I am scared. I have this voice telling me that I can no longer lose anyone. That's why I don't want to believe that someone will betray me.

A week later me and Taeyong have been back to talking well as I learned to forgive.

I have also made a concrete plan now. At least as I think it is.

My plan is that I approach the president no matter how hard. I will do it.

I tell it to Ji wan and Taeyong. They seem to be okay with it. But still Taeyong is telling me that it would be hard.

Taeyong is offering to help, I tell him thank you but no. I don't want to put him in trouble.

I was about to leave that week. I was heading for Seoul. Obviously I had to leave Lily and the farm. So I asked if Taeyong could do most of the chores.

"Mama."

Lily beams her smile with a scrunched nose.

"Don't worry. I'll come back."

"Be careful."

Taeyong blurts out.

"You should too."

He drove me to the nearest train station. I can't borrow his car anymore. He says it'll cost him another fortune to buy a new one.

"Are you really sure about this?"

"Yeah. Are you worried?"

"For some reason, yes. But not really for you. I know you're tougher than a rhino. Are you sure of your plan?"

I sigh.

"Yes. And I will come back safe so don't mind me and just make sure Lily is safe."

I smile.

I didn't want to leave but I just had to. For the better.

Public transpo was pretty easy. I had no trouble with people. I blended in pretty well. I also saw no guard or anyone suspicious.

Soon I was in Seoul. Piece of cake.

I was elated and rejoicing deep within. Yet something didn't feel right.

This is too easy. I thought.

A voice in the back of my head is telling me that I should go back and re think it. I feel like it is my gut screaming.

Yet I push on. I can't stop now.

I ride a cab to somewhere in front of the Blue House. (Forgive me if I'm wrong in this part TT)

I see this line of tourists. A field trip actually. They were all handling their kids. I wonder if I and Lily could do this too.

I then spot a kid crying for some reason. I pick her up and she stops crying. She was a small kid. Probably thought I was her mom. We entered into the line and that was how I entered into the President's Palace.

We were in a hall for a briefing about the place. I asked the staff about where the CR was. They happily led me into this standard looking toilet room. I went in and told the staff that I can go back by myself and she left without a question.

As we were walking earlier I already marked the places of the Cameras. I was in a good mood since I finally used up my spy training again.

I got out of the toilet as soon as the clanks of the staff's pumps went out of my hearing.

There was a window big enough for me to jump off. It led to a tree which I climbed on to.

I remember that I should go left to go where the president is. I memorised the map earlier with just a quick glance.

I ran and the guards were soon on my back. I quickened my pace. Soon I was in this massive building. Presidential guards were everywhere.

They were easily knocked down by me. They had their guns but I had my b****y training. They can't beat me.

I barged in to a room. The president was shocked to see me just kick the doors to his office.

I felt so powerfull and badass not going to lie.

"Sir. I mean no harm. I have an important message."

"Close the doors. You may speak."

I hurriedly shut and barricaded the doors. He was just watching.

"There is an illegal facility that forcefully takes children from orphanages and trains them to become secret agents to be sold one day."

I pant. I try to convince him that I wasn't some mad man.

"I see. Are you one of those children?"

"Yes Sir."

He was silent for a while.

"Too bad you approached the wrong person. I'm not going to help you, but if you want I can re-instate you to the facility. I'll make sure you don't get your head chopped off."

I was so shocked. It took me a while to process.

"What if I don't chose that option?"

"Then you will need to fight for the rest of your short life."

I was silent. We locked eyes and I felt intimidated.

"Choose."
