Work Text:
The soldier narrowed his eyes as he watched the same footage for what was probably the fifth time in the last hour. It was all the news were talking about. And they were all spewing ridiculous rumors about it.
The President was rumored to have an affair, with a man that wasn't him. So clearly the news reporters had it wrong.
Still, he was sitting in Cloud 9, waiting for President Choi to arrive. It was on her schedule. She came to the JSS building once per trimester, allegedly for a conglomerate meeting, but really just to have a chat with Mirror. She had an extension on a tablet in the Blue House, but it wasn't the same as being there. Not for her.
"What do you mean reassigned? Again? What have I done this time?" A masculine voice asked, making the rehabilitated elite soldier's brow crease as the doors to Cloud 9 opened. He'd kept the glass room's sliding doors opened, being alone and expecting Yoo Jin alone.
"Yes. Reassigned." Yoo Jin's voice came as the two people walked through the doors. "See with Chief Kim. She has your new assignment ready." The woman went on, looking at the young man beside her.
He rolled his eyes. "Chief Kim always has an assignment ready for me. She hates my guts. Last time I was assigned to Deputy Byun. He likes to take off his shoes and socks when he's in office and rubs them as he works. Apparently it helps him think. I don't judge but I've seen him clip his toenails with his teeth. And that's where I draw the line."
The woman chuckled as she climbed up the stairs, her interlocutor behind her. "You're here." She said, tone softening as she entered the glass room to find her lover there.
"I am." The soldier replied, making no move to stand from her seat.
She slightly frowned before refocusing back on her former interlocutor. "G3, meet the man formerly known as K2." She introduced.
"It's you!" The young man said. "I think we almost met one night. But then I puked on Manager Ju's shoes." He chuckled. Then bowed out of respect for a superior.
"Oh, I know Geum Bok Mi-ssi." The older male said. "Everybody knows Geum Bok Mi." He went on. "Mirror, show Samonim the footage at the fair."
Both Yoo Jin and G3 turned towards the monitor that started the recording.
The footage was actually fairly short. Just G3 moving closer to Yoo Jin to whisper something in her ear. Her brows creased in reaction and she brushed her fingers against her lips. Then G3 outwardly chuckled and extended his hand to swipe his thumb along the left corner of the woman's bottom lip. The video ended with G3 returning to his original spot in the Security detail formation.
G3 chuckled. "I didn't see your eyes that well when it happened. You look so shocked. Then there's a sharp transition and it looks like you could kill me." He remarked, turning to Yoo Jin. "Mirror," He called. "Can you make a GIF of the exact moment her face shifts?" He asks.
"Dae, Geum Bok Mi-ssi."
The former elite soldier turned to Yoo Jin, disbelief in his eyes. The woman sighed. "I am going to remove your access from the interface." She said, looking at the younger male.
"You say that every time you stop by, President Choi." G3 pointed out.
She narrowed her eyes. "I'll make sure Chief Kim reassigns you to Deputy Byun."
G3 groaned, his head falling forward and shoulders sagging. "Fine." He accepted. "Thank you for giving me a chance to be part of your security detail President Choi." He bowed deeply.
And the woman sighed, rolling her eyes. "Geum Bok Mi-ssi," He perked up. "get out of here before I actually remove you from the interface."
He grinned brightly and reached out to hug her before he remembered. "Right." He stopped. "You're my employer. So from now on and unless told otherwise, you are President Choi to me. But let it be noted that I'm so happy I could kiss you again! Even if I have to deal with Deputy Byun!" She chuckled as he bowed again before heading out.
"Again?" Yoo Jin blinked, turning back to her lover. "He did say, 'again', right?"
The President chuckled. "He says that every time. Don't pay attention."
The former soldier nodded. "I didn't knew other people had access to Mirror."
"Not that many." Yoo Jin replied, moving closer to the man. "Just me, you, Chief Kim and G3." She informed. "But his access to Cloud 9 is regulated in a way that doesn't allow him to get alone so it's a little different." The male nodded again, humming as the woman hovered over him. "So?" Yoo Jin rose an eyebrow. "Do I have to tell you to stand up soldier or will you return my seat on your own volition?"
The male stood up, holding her gaze as he did, liking the way their position shifted from her hovering to him standing taller. "President Choi shouldn't have to ask." He replied.
"Then why haven't you kissed me yet?" She asked.
"I don't know." The male replied. "Maybe you'd prefer to take G3 up on his offer."
Yoo Jin laughed. "Jealousy is a pretty look on you. But then again, everything is," She sighed. "unfairly so."
"Oh is it? Wanna see it from real up close?" The solider questioned, leaning forwards to the point of their noses almost touching. His lips curled up as the woman blinked doe eyed. A part of him really liked being able to have that effect on her. But in terms of power play, Yoo Jin remained the ultimate winner. So she pressed her lips against his in a short peck, smirking when his features gained a certain shyness.
"Now get out of here." The woman said, settling in her seat. "I've got some work to do."
The male sighed. "Very well, President Choi." He nodded in deference as she smirked. Power looked pretty damn good on Choi Yoo Jin.
