1 Newcomer

Ong Seongwu living well in his expensive apartment in Gangnam district. He can choose whatever he want to buy or wherever he want to go. He mostly spending his day off to sleep though, but indeed he is living well.

Aside from being a super rich person in terms of money, Ong Seongwu doesn't really have any "normal" friends. He tend to keep his personal matter personal, in case there are something dangerous coming for him. And he always stay on the dangerous area every little second of his life, so that's it. Being an agent sure have the "yay" and "nay" point.

Yes, Ong Seongwu is a spy. A great one at it. Twenty third at age, he already wearing those elegant midnight-blue uniform from his agency everytime he works on his missions. A clear symbol that he is one of the best.

Currently on his precious day-off, Seongwu took his time to carefully choose his tuxedo for the newcomer party tonight. It usually didn't really matter for him to just come by with his semi-formal clothes, but tonight is slightly different because one of the newcomer will become his. As absurd as it may sound for him to have a direct junior to train, Seongwu couldn't rejected such order from his only mentor. So here he is trying to look as prestigious as he can for the sake of high respect he anticipate from his new junior. Not that he needed that actually but choose to.

His choice falls on a burgundy tuxedo he never once wears off. He grab his misty rose shirt for the inside, but skipped any tie to wear, doesn't want to look any more formal than necessary. Wearing all those in especially slow pace, because he is too lazy to move faster, Seongwu humming a song he lately listen to every time he drove home. Done with the deeds, he take his s-watch and tune in the safe detector with his voice print. He will be on the safest place tonight but as he is on the highest level of shadow-spies department, he must be prepared all the time. He check his outlook on the mirror, run his hand lightly to smarten his black hair. Than he walk out of his grand walk-in closet. All ready to face the damn night.

Coming down to his private parking, Seongwu take on his sport car for a quick drive as he is suppose to be seen on the ballroom at seven. His dark-brown eyes staring straight on the road, his left hand is on the steering wheel meanwhile right hand busy with the translucent screen of his car's portable e-tech. He pass his master code with much easy without looking and press his thumb right after that to upper right corner of the translucent screen to activate the direct transmission.

"Good evening Mr. Ong. Please, state your whereabouts for tonight mission." A familiar female voice broke through the silent of the car.

"Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu. Code M1, Signiel Seoul." Seongwu said with a flat tone.

"Recorded. You may not need a full device on, please stay safe. Happy adventurous night."

"Yea right. What an adventurous night it will be." Seongwu murmuring after the feminine voice off, completely sure he won't be enjoying the night slightest bit like he will enjoy the other night of his actual adventurous night. He sigh.

The drive was short eventhough Seongwu actually hoping it won't be, aside from his fast driving. He now standing in line to pass the security, wondering how boring he might be feel on the couple of minutes he stand inside the crowded room.

"Seongwu! What a look you have here!" Someone hit Seongwu's shoulder lightly from behind. He turn on his feet and face the same-name hyung from e-center department smiling. "Nah, hyung it's you who looks extravagant here." Seongwu return the smiling.

"Not quite close with you. I've never seen you wearing tuxedo before. You should wear it everytime we are on this kind of agenda," said Park Seongwoo winking his right eye, chuckle. Ong Seongwu shook his head and laughed sofly.

"Oh there he is the baby! Been looking for him. See you later Seongwu." Park Seongwoo waves his hand and walking fast toward Lee Woojin, the genius baby of e-center folks.

Seongwu easly pass the security and walk through the open door of the the ballroom. He predicted right, the room is crowded with dozens of excited agents. Most standing in a small group from the same department, talking and laughing. Meanwhile some others catching up with stories from another department in another small group. Being able to be on a casual event like this, sure pay off all the difficult work they've been through. So there is no wonder why everyone look so relax.

Unluckily, Seongwu has to face this happy situation right after a very difficult mission and a seriously tired mind and body, that's why he is not as excited as everyone. Eventhough Seongwu won't ever describe himself as a party person, but at least he is not as grumpy as he is now when he attended other party long before this one. He simply wants his resting time back soon enough.

As Seongwu keep walking crossed the big luxury room, searching for the person who specificaly order him to come, many people recognize him and had ask him to join their conversation. He politely rejected them all with a smile and a gesture everyone knows who he is searching for. So he is as far free from talking with others, and will try to keep it that way until he will be able to escape once the oppurtunity arises.

Soon Seongwu's eyes catch the glimpse of a gray-haired man he try to find since moment ago. The commander of his department stand tall in his porpoise tuxedo, talking with some other commanders from various department. Seeing from the way they laughed, it seems those old-man were not talking about something serious, so he decides to come closer.

"Good evening sir, commander." Seongwu said, making his and other commander turned to him.

"Here you are! I start to wonder whether you're not coming eventhough I directly asked you to," Commander Choi softly patted Seongwu's shoulder.

"Sir, It will be the dead of me if I did something like that."

Everyone on the small circle laugh hearing Seongwu's honest yet amusing reply. Commander Choi patted his shoulder again, now with a fatherly smile. This small gesture of affection is actually why everyone in the company said Ong Seongwu is the golden son of the firm Commander Choi.

That being said, people all shocked when the announcement of the newcomers' selected trainers included Ong Seongwu's name on the list.

Ong Seongwu is known for his perfectionist actions, and he has gain the fame in the field because of his amazing ability. Everyone ensure that is the main reason why the Commmander treated him specials and that he is the only one who didn't have any chick trainee under his care or as his official partner for over 7 years as an agent. Now when things changed like this, peolpe are wondering just how good the newcomer is that makes Commander Choi decided to put him under the perfect Ong Seongwu.

"Since you are here now let's talk in private while the kids start the summit." Commander Choi leads Seongwu to an empty space in the corner of the room. All of sudden, Seongwu start feeling nervous. A private talk between him with the commander is no longer a strange thing but for some unknown reason, this time it feels kind of mysterious.

"I'll have to go on stage soon so 'll get straight to the point." Commander Choi begin.

"Sir?" Seongwu nodded.

"This boy I've set under your name, is kind of dangerous. No, listen. You know very well I'm not one to actually labeling such a chick as high but this one, don't underestimate him. This is the reason why I picked you, because I only want the best from all to handle him. You got me?"

Hearing what his commander said and add the anxious sound of it, Seongwu's brows become one long line in a second. He just couldn't understand why the commander look deathly serious. Like there is a high level danger in front them right now.

"Actually sir, I apologize but I can't quite get what you mean. If the newcomer is indeed a dangerous person, why were the company recruited him?"

"Nah, this person we're talking? He'll be a more pain in the ass for us if we weren't able to recruited him, Seongwu. As much as I don't want to admit, that's the level he is in. Actually it such a relieved that he agreeed to join us instead of falling on the black side." Commander Choi giving him a firm look, and it makes Seongwu sighing deeply. Despite of his disbelief, the informal way Commander Choi mentioned his name makes Seongwu taken aback a little bit. He immediately nodded, without anymore complaint, when he heard the name of the commander called. Surely to introduce the newcomers formally.

Now standing alone in the corner, Seongwu take out his e-palm in a rush. His curiosity kicked in bad so he has to do something before the damn newcomer being introduce to all of the agents. He should know the trouble that will soon become his responsibility. He quickly register his code with his thumb print to the small thin divice and once the touchscreen shows a blank background, Seongwu begin to type his name to the trainer app.

The high technology device works very fast and soon Seongwu is staring into his profile picture. He scroll down the screen but before he gets to read the newcomer's name, he suddenly felt a shiver as the breath blew right next to his right ear. "Kang Daniel," the voice heard.

Although he was surprised to death, Seongwu's body reflexively moved away from the person who was out of nowhere appeared behind him. This is the fucking first time anyone ever succeed sneaking behind the Ong Seongwu. And that someone is a face Seongwu never met before.

"Who are you?" Seongwu asked. Voice becomes dangerously deep and piercing. His eyes are cold and demanding. He definitely won't lower his defenses even for a second. It had been a great surprise to him that he couldn't have noticed the guy's arrival.

The suspicious guy Seongwu was looking at, has this big smile on his face. His hair dyed pink and part in the middle with a slightly wavy styles. The guy is wearing ripped black jeans combined with burgundy suit which he wears over a black shirt. He deffinitely trying to look sexy from the way he open the top three buttons of his shirt, Seongwu snorted inwardly.

"I told you before. It's Kang Daniel." The guy named Kang Daniel deliver yet another big smile. One of his hands is in his pocket while the other one being offered to Seongwu. Clearly hoping a handshake.

Seongwu's left brow lift as he look at Daniel's hand, "So I heard. But I don't think any Kang Daniel has the right to be in this place. Or should I change the question, what are you? How did you manage to passed the security?"

Daniel chuckled and pulled back his hand, knowing Seongwu won't give him a handshake anytime soon. Before he answer Seongwu's question, Daniel let himself enjoying the view of a georgeous Ong Seongwu for couple of seconds. He has to kill the company's photographer soon that he failed to take this beauty of Seongwu into his camera. The profile picture Daniel saw two weeks ago didn't included how attractive Seongwu's brows are, or how his eyes can make someone feel weak in a second, or how tempting his kissable lips, or how perfect the shape of his nose. The damn photographer also forget to snap the resistible aura. Shit.

"I passed the security just like how you passed it. Walked through the smart door then foila I'm here, standing in front of you." Daniel simply said. His eyes never once leaving the perfect guy.

Seongwu's mind quickly analyze Daniel's answered, he then realized that this smiley guy must be one of the newcomers. "You should go back to the backstage. Commander Choi is in charge to formally introduce you boys to others and he is now on stage." Seongwu flatly said, take off his high tension instantly eventhough he is still wondering how the hell a chick manage to made him unaware of its existence.

Must be because I'm deadly tired, Seongwu sigh.

"Boy? I don't think you should call someone a boy considering your age." Daniel let off another chuckle, bringing Seongwu back to his intimidating self.

"You won't want to said something like that again in front of me or anyone else. Age is not what the most important thing in here, position is." He said while making his way near the annoying pink-haired guy.

The close space Seongwu created between them makes Daniel's eyes travel to the older's lips. If it is not someone as trained as Seongwu who he feels this kind of desire toward is, he won't even think twice to move forward and capture those rosy lips.

"Now, go back to the backstage," Seongwu ordered firmly. He glanced sideways at the stage where his commander giving a silver badge for each newcomers who have join on the stage. It seems he has missed the first round of the introducing. He silently hope it wasn't newcomers for his department.

Without any looking at Daniel, Seongwu walks through to the center of the room. He decides to join one of the table where his coworkers are seating.

Dumbfounded for a moment after Seongwu had leaves him behind, Daniel drag his step towards the backstage he'd asked to go. The black-haired guy sure doen't know what he will soon find out, Daniel let a little smile back on his handsome face.
