BLACK TIGER | YOONMIN

Mission 3: Alone

"And in the middle of my chaos, there was you." Unknown

The next morning I had a hard time to wake up because I barely slept during the night. The imagine of us being close, feeling each other's breath, our lips almost touching couldn't leave my mind.

I don't know why, but when I'm with him, everything feels different.

Like yesterday for example, he made me feel useful for once. I felt the urge to defend him in front of the agents and to take care of his wound.

Since I arrived to the company, I always felt weak and useless. People keep teaching me and I don't get the chance to teach them. We barely talk about our previous lives, nor about our deepest feelings.

But when I'm with the Black Tiger, it's not the same.

Only a short time is enough for us to talk about ourselves and what hurts us the most. Only an hour is enough to feel closer to him. Only a minute is enough to smile to him. Only a second is enough to desire to kiss him.

Yes, he does make me feel this way.

I sighed heavily and rubbed the back of my neck. Some agents already left the dorm and others were still sleeping. The bed next to mine was empty, Hoseok must have gone to his daily training.

He is kind, but I can't forgive his attitude toward the Black Tiger. He makes me angry every time he says something bad about him. I really wish he could know that he's not the bad guy he thinks he is.

I left my bed and headed to the shower room. I undressed myself and stood under the warm water to let it clean my sweaty body and my mind from any sinful thought.

It was Saturday, so I had a training session with Jungkook in a couple minutes. I hurried to wear a sport outfit and left the dorm.

When I was heading to the elevator, I spotted the Black Tiger walking in the corridor. The bandage was still around his arm and he seemed as tired as I was.

"Wait!" I ran to catch him.

He turned around and stopped walking when he saw me.

"Good morning." I rubbed my neck nervously. "How's your wound? Still hurts?"

"It hurt like crazy during the night." he said. "But I could sleep thanks to the pills you gave me."

I nodded, "You'll need to change your bandage. You can't workout so ask the doctor to do it for you."

I was surprised to see disappointment in his eyes. He looked at me like he wasn't expecting me to say such a thing.

I raised an eyebrow, wondering what was in his mind.

"You won't do it?" he finally said.

"Me?" I widened my eyes. "You want me to do it for you?"

"You're the one who started, so you should finish it." he mumbled, averting his gaze from me.

"I thought you'd want the doctor because she's better..." I laughed nervously while rubbing the back of my neck.

"I'll wait in the clinique, come after you finish your session." he said.

I nodded with a smile, "Sure."

His calm face shifted to an angry one in a matter of seconds.

"Good morning beautiful." someone put his arm around my shoulders.

I turned my head and saw the new guy smirking. "Aren't you going to answer?"

"Let go." I took his arm away from me.

Wonsik looked at the Black Tiger and chuckled. He didn't say a word, he just ignore him and turned to face me again. "I asked the responsible if I could change dorms. She said I could come to yours." he smiled. "My bed is going to be right in front of yours."

I saw the Black Tiger clenching his fists.

I frowned. "Why are you doing this?"

"Namjoon asked me to find a reason to stay in this company." Wonsik answered. "I found you." he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"And what do you expect from me?" I crossed my arms.

He smirked and leaned to be closer to my face. "I expect you to be mine." he whispered.

I gulped and pushed him, "That's not gonna happen!"

He laughed, "Oh trust me sweetheart, if there is something you should know about me, it's that I always get what I want." he said.

I could feel his eyes piercing my body and I would be lying if I said I didn't feel uncomfortable.

"One more thing." he added. "I also never let anyone touch it." he turned to look at the Black Tiger and smirked.

The black-haired sent him a death glare. I could feel that he was as angry as I was.

"I'm not an object." I mumbled coldly.

"Sure you're not sweetheart." Wonsik pressed his thumb against my lower lip. "You are just a hot human being who's gonna be mine in no time." he winked and left.

My heart was beating fast because of anger and disgust.

I closed my eyes tight and took a breath. "I hate this guy." I mumbled.

The black-haired kept staring at me for a moment until he mumbled a small, "I gotta go."

"Wait." I grabbed his arm and asked him, "Where are you going?"

"Does it matter?" he raised an eyebrow and left me alone in the middle of an empty corridor.

~~

"Hey Kook." I put my bag on the floor and greeted my coach.

"Morning hyung." he smiled. "Hope you ate your breakfast this time. I don't want you to faint again."

I laughed and hit his arm, "I did, don't worry. I was just not in the mood last time."

"Good then." he nodded. "I heard you took the Black Tiger's defense yesterday."

"I just don't like people saying bad things to him."

I stood on the treadmill and pushed 'Start'. The coach advised me to run for half an hour before we start any training.

"You seem pretty close." he said. "I'm still surprised that he talks to you."

"I'm surprised too." I chuckled. "But seriously, he's a really good guy. I don't like people thinking otherwise."

"I never thought he was bad." Jungkook told me. "The only bad thing is that he's reserved. If only he could talk to us so that we can help him if he needs anything."

"I know." I sighed. "Perhaps his past made him this way..."

"Did he tell you what happened?" he asked with a curious tone.

I shook my head, "I didn't ask him either. I don't want him to be uncomfortable."

"You're right." Jungkook nodded. "Namjoon hyung is the only who knows and he wouldn't tell anyone. That's why all the agents think that he must have done something really horrible."

After I finished warning up my body, we started a new lesson of my self-defense training. Jungkook was so good at teaching that I learned plenty of things in a few weeks.

"So, did Taehyung send the flowers to his mother?" I asked during the pause.

He took a sip of water and nodded, "He did after hesitating for so long." he laughed. "I helped him choose the best bouquet and we sent it to her. He kept contact with the deliverer and apparently he said that she loved it."

"That's good." I smiled. "I wish I could be this good to my mother." I sighed.

"Why do you say that?"

"I've completely ignored her when I entered college. I would spend my days with my boyfriend and best friend without thinking about visiting her in Busan."

"But I'm sure she knew you were busy..." Jungkook said.

"Still." I shook my head. "I should have been a better son."

He gave me his hand and helped me stand up. "Just thinking this way shows that you are a better son now." he said.

I chuckled and ruffled his hair, "You're so good at talking huh."

"Spending so many years with Namjoon hyung made me this way." he shrugged.

"Speaking of the devil." I laughed when I saw the boss entering the room, Wonsik following him.

"Hope we're not disturbing." Namjoon said. "The newbie needs you to show him the weightlifting machines so that he gets familiarised with them."

"Stop calling me like this." the red-haired rolled his eyes.

"Sure." Jungkook nodded. "But he'll have to wait until Jimin hyung finishes his session."

Wonsik stared at me with his signature smirk again. "Going on a mission tonight huh?"

"No."

"Why not? All the agents seem busy."

"He still can't go alone." Namjoon said.

"Oh come on!" Wonsik laughed. "He's not a child, he can do it alone. Plus, I heard that you've been here for quite a time now so you're well trained." he told me.

I shrugged and looked at Namjoon. It's true that I'm not the same person I was before I arrived to this company. I'm a stronger person and I'm ready to face anything. It's not a bad idea to go on a mission alone I guess.

"Don't even think about it." the boss interrupted my thoughts. "You're still not ready."

"But hyung!" I whined. "You can at least send me to do something easier... No need for guns and fights. Just something you know I can do.".

"It's not about fighting Jimin." Namjoon sighed. "Sometimes you find yourself in an unexpected situation and you need to be ready not only physically but also mentally for it."

"Don't worry hyung." I squeezed his shoulder gently. "I can do it."

"He's a grown up." Wonsik added. "You'll see, in one week I'll be able to go on a mission too."

"You shut up." the boss mumbled coldly.

"So...?" I looked at Namjoon with soft eyes, hoping he would accept.

"Alright." he sighed. "I'll ask Taehyung to give you the easiest mission."

"Yes!" I smiled and hugged him tight. "Thanks hyung."

~~

After training, I took a quick shower and headed to the clinique.

The doctors were attending some agents who got hurt during missions. It was scary how dangerous it can become, but I decided not to think a lot because one day I would have to go alone.

I spotted him sitting on a bed, waiting for me quietly. I smiled and walked toward him. "Hope I didn't make you wait for so long."

He shook his head, "I just arrived."

"Good." I looked for some latex gloves in the drawer and took everything I'll need.

"Jimin?" Dr. Jihae walked closer. "What are you doing?"

"Changing his bandage."

"Oh?" she raised an eyebrow and examined the agent's wound. "Who did this?"

"Me." I looked at her nervously, scared that she would scold me for touching a patient without her knowing.

"You're pretty good." she rubbed her chin. "Very good job. Where did you learn this?"

"From my mother, she's a nurse."

"I see." she smiled and patted my back. "I'm sure he wouldn't want me to treat his wound." she said, looking at the Black Tiger. "So, do it."

"Thanks." I smiled back.

I took a chair and sat in front of him. I took off the bandage and cleaned the wound with some betadine. I made sure to rub the cotton pad gently around his arm in order not to hurt him. "I'm going on a mission tonight." I said, breaking the silence.

"With who?"

"Alone." I smiled.

He tensed.

I lifted my head and saw him raising an eyebrow, "Are you serious? Did Namjoon agree to this?"

I nodded.

"But you can't."

"Why not?" I frowned. "I'm not a child, I can handle it."

He sighed and mumbled, "You don't know how dangerous the missions can be. Look what happened to me." he pointed to his injury. "I almost died. You're still not ready for this."

"I am!" I said. "It's been weeks since I've been training so hard, I'm ready. Plus, I've already gone on two missions..."

"Two missions when I was with you." he said, making me look at him again. He looked angry.

I looked away and put a new bandages around his arm. "I can do it without you." I mumbled quietly.

"Oh really?" he pushed me gently and stood up. "Then I'll go. Don't come and cry to me when something happens to you."

"Nothing will happen." I pressed my lips. A part of me wasn't really confident that I could handle everything alone.

"It's...it's just an easy mission." I followed him to the elevator. "The boss said that he won't give me something that involves violence."

He shrugged.

"Hyung." I placed my hand on his arm. "Are you worried about me?" I asked with a smile.

"No." he answered. "You just need more time."

"Then you're worried." I chuckled. "You're afraid something might happen to me."

"Shut up." he rolled his eyes.

When we arrived to the first floor, I found Taehyung waiting for me in the corridor.

"Christian, follow me to my office."

I simply nodded and looked at the Black Tiger. "I gotta go. Don't worry too much, I'm going to be alright."

"Who said I was wor-" I didn't let him finish his sentence because I left as quickly as I could.

I walked behind Taehyung, with a stupid smile drawn on my face.

~~

"Your mission is simple." Taehyung started. He opened a folder, took some pictures and placed them on the desk. "This is Jang Geumsik, the vice president of Himchan Corporation. Last week, he caught the director , Go Mingjae stealing money from the company's safe. Despite his begging and cries, Geumsik-ssi wants to send him to jail and destroy his family's life."

"On which side are we?" I asked. "Who's the bad guy?"

Taehyung chuckled. "The bad guy is Geumsik."

"So, you mean that Mingjae stole the money for a good reason?"

My friend nodded. "It's true that stealing is illegal, but poor Mingjae needed money for his five year-old daughter who needs an emergency heart transplant surgery."

"Aw." I pouted and looked at Mingjae's picture with his family. He was holding the little girl in his arms and was smiling widely. He must love her very much and it would be a waste to see them apart.

"You need to meet Geumsik." Taehyung said. "It is told that he likes men, so your duty will be to seduce him. Make sure he brings you to his home and you get him drunk. You should convince him not to betray his colleague, also find the proofs and destroy them."

"What proofs?"

"His secretary took pictures of Mingjae stealing from the safe. He must have hide them somewhere in his office."

"I see." I rested my back on the chair and rubbed my chin. "So, I just need to seduce him and destroy the proofs."

"You need to be careful." Namjoon entered the office. "That man has a bad reputation around young men."

"Don't worry about it hyung." I smiled.

"I need to worry." he said with a serious tone.

He walked closer and sat next to me. "I don't like this mission either, but you seem too eager to achieve something alone." he sighed. "Don't let him touch you. If he tries something, call me, okay?"

I nodded.

"If I receive your call, I'll send an agent to get you immediately."

"Aw you're so sweet hyung." I heard Taehyung chuckle.

"Be careful." Namjoon repeatedly before he left us alone.

~~

It started to get darker and it was time for me to leave the company.

Jennie helped me pick an outfit and choose a perfume that'll drive any man crazy.

I wasn't comfortable with the idea of seducing someone, especially a man in his forties, but as an agent I should be able to complete any mission given to me.

"Here, the car keys." Taehyung accompanied me to the reception hall. "And remember what the boss told you."

"Alright." I nodded.

"See ya later Christian." he winked.

When I left the building, I saw the Black Tiger sitting in the garden, smoking his cigarette.

He looked at me and frowned when he saw my outfit. I was covering my hair with a blond wig and was wearing a light blue shirt, kinda see-through and tight black pants. Jennie made sure to make me look irresistible with a touch of makeup.

If it was for a date, I would be excited to wear this and impress my man, but the case was completely different.

I couldn't waste any time so I just smiled to him and headed toward the parking lot.

I typed the address Taehyung gave me on the GPS and started the car.

Geumsik usually spends his Saturday nights in a bar called the Red Hat.

When I arrived to destination, I ordered a beer and sat in the counter. I looked around me and tried not to look suspicious until I spotted my target. He was sitting on a table, surrounded by four guys, way younger than me. His arms were around them while they were touching his thighs and kissing his neck.

I felt bad for them because they must have a reason why they're pleasing him this way. Maybe a need of money or a good life.

It's been a long time since I last brought out my seduction game, so I felt a little nervous.

I remember when I met Junsun for the first time, I wanted him at any price. I would invite him out and do all sort of things that would make him fall for me.

In the end, he confessed that my stares were the reasons why he couldn't resist me anymore.

Maybe I should use them now.

I turned my chair around and looked at Gumsik, the glass of beer in my hand.

He lifted his head and noticed me. He ignored what the other guys were telling him and kept piercing my body with his eyes. I looked away, but still felt him staring at me.

After a few moments, the bartender placed a Martini in front of me.

"I didn't order it." I said.

"He did." he pointed behind me. I turned around and saw the man smirking.

If I didn't know he was a bad guy, I could have thought that he's quite handsome for his age. It looked like he was taking care of himself very well. But the fact that he's ready to ruin his colleague's family makes him look so ugly.

I raised my glass and gave him my most charming smile.

I watched him excusing himself and leaving his table. He walked toward me and sat on the empty chair next to mine. "I couldn't get my eyes off you." he said.

"Same here." I smiled. "There are dozens of men in this bar, but you're the most elegant."

He laughed and ordered us more drinks. "I've never seen you here before."

"I used to go to other bars." I rested my face in my hand and looked straight at his eyes. "I think it wasn't a bad idea to try a new one tonight." I spoke with a deep and slow voice to let him drown in the moment.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Christian."

"Christian." he smirked. "You don't live here, do you?"

"No." I placed my hand on his thigh and squeezed it gently. "I live in London."

"Interesting." he closed his eyes when he felt my hand travelling from his thigh to his lower abdomen. "How...about we go to my house?" he asked. "I have wine and good music."

"Sounds good." I smirked.

I took a look at the other guys, I felt sorry for stealing their man, but the duty calls. I needed to prove to everyone that I can completely a mission without anyones help.

~~

His chauffeur drove us to his house. It was already midnight, so I needed to hurry and finish what I had to do.

Geumsik was a little drunk, so I helped him walk inside.

I gasped when I saw how big the interior of his house was. It was vast and modern.

He invited me to sit on a beige leather couch while he went to the kitchen to pour us some wine.

"What kind of music do you like?" he asked.

"Anything is fine."

He smiled and connected his phone to the speakers. He played a song I couldn't recognize and joined me. "I hope you like Soul."

"Of course I do." I lied and took the glass he offered me.

"So, what do you do in life Christian?" he sat next to me and placed his arm behind me.

"I'm a dance instructor." I tried to quickly come up with a lie so that he doesn't suspect me. "I came to Seoul five days ago for a workshop."

"A dancer." he smirked. "I really love dancers."

I smiled, "And dancers love handsome men like you."

It wasn't difficult for me to get him drunk. He kept asking me questions about myself and I came up with a lie for each one. I poured him a drink every time he empties his glass and keep talking, without forgetting to give him a compliment or look at him with seductive eyes.

At a moment, he sighed and rested his head on the pillow. He looked sleepy and tired, so I took advantage of it to start asking questions. "Rough week?"

He hummed. "It's not easy to be the vice president of a big company." he mumbled.

I mentally slapped him because I don't like seeing rich people like him complaining when others live in worse situations.

"My colleague...whom I always trusted stole money from the company." he said with a lazy tone.

"Oh?" I pretended to be surprised. "Maybe he has a reason."

He shook his head. "No matter what reason you have, you should never betray your workplace."

"Of course." I nodded. "Do you know what he did with the money?"

He chuckled, "He took the money we worked for so hard to save his daughter." he said. "How selfish of him!"

I sighed and caressed his arm gently, "My mother always told me that children are the most beautiful thing that happen to a parent." I said. "Maybe your colleague just wanted his daughter's happiness."

"Her father is a thief!" he shouted. "That's not something to be proud of."

I pressed my lips and sighed. It looked like I couldn't convince him to think otherwise, so I only needed to destroy the proofs now.

I poured him another glass of wine and watched him drinking it with his eyes closed.

I cleared my throat and whispered, "I need to go to the bathroom."

I climbed the stairs and walked in the corridor. I took a look at the rooms, there were plenty of them and none seemed to be used. His bedroom was the biggest one and the bathroom was just next to it.

The other ones were empty.

I opened the last door discreetly and smirked when I knew it was his office.

I looked around me to make sure he's not around and entered.

I turned on the lights and rolled my eyes when I saw the bunch of papers spread on the desk. I was wrong to think he's an organized man.

I hurried to took into the papers and none seemed related to Mingjae's case.

I mumbled a curse when I saw that all the files were only for work.

I looked in the drawers and frowned when I saw a condom pack and a small bottle of lube. I didn't even want to imagine what kind of things happen inside the office.

"Where the hell it is..." I looked around and spotted a red file on a shelf.

I placed it on the desk and opened it. I smiled when I found the pictures.

The door opened.

I froze.

"What are you doing here?" his voice sounded cold and angry.

"I...uhm..."

"He sent you, right?" he snatched the picture away from my hand and pushed me against the wall. "Mingjae hired you to seduce me and steal the file huh?" he was about to slap me when I grabbed his arm and pushed him on the ground.

I took the file and left the office. I ran downstairs and headed toward the entrance door.

It won't open.

"Do you really think I let the door open when I bring someone home?" I turned and saw him walking with a smirk. "Now give me that file and stop this bullshit."

"I won't." I looked at the windows and ran toward it.

"You can't run away from me." he grabbed my arm. "There is no way."

"Let go."

"Or what?" he laughed. "I'm the one who can call the police. I did nothing wrong."

"You take advantage of minors." I mumbled coldly. "That's illegal."

"Do you have any proofs?" he tightened his grip on me. "You're a little asshole, you know that? And you don't know what I do to people like you." he smirked.

I pushed him and tried to run away again but there was no exit.

"Come here you slut." he grabbed me by the collar and pushed me on the wooden floor.

He put himself above me and didn't let me any way to move. He blocked my legs with his muscled thighs and pinned my arms above my head. "Let's finish this game of yours." he said before ripping my shirt.
