Chapter Text
It had been almost half a year since Agent Choi and Agent Bronze last saw their hubae. Ever since he left the letter, the two agents had not stopped looking for him.
Agent Choi’s hatred ran even deeper for the Daydream employees who took their hubae away from him and Bronze.
And now they were stuck with them in a room with sofas and big TV in it.
"Who would have thought that Daydream would drag the Bureau agents into an unknown disaster."
Agent Choi said as he "looked" at the Daydream employees.
"Agent Choi, this is not the place to make enemies."
Agent Bronze scolded. He understood that Choi would be angry about meeting them but since they are in unknown disaster, it's best not to make enemies out of them.
'You know what they did... you should feel angry as well...'
Agent Choi thought.
"What if it's you who dragged us into darkness and not us?"
"Miss Falcon, let's calm down a little bit!!"
Park Minseong chipped in to stop Eun Haje from fighting however...
"Lets not get ahead of ourselves, miss Falcon. "
Certain fox decided to put the oil on fire.
'I really don't wanna be stuck in a darkness with him.'
Eun Haje thought, the work she had to go through because of him was really something. She was planning to respond back but someone was faster.
"You're one to talk."
Agent Choi snapped back. The memory was still vivid, him fighting Kim Soleum and then the director deciding to put a curse on him.
"Agent Choi, stop."
"He's the one who took our hubae from us, Bronze. How can I calm down."
"Lets not exacerbate what happened in the past and focus on the present."
Ho Yuwon responded back. He clearly wasn't that interested in the agent's remarks.
"Does anyone know something about this darkness?"
Lee Seonghae finally asked, trying to ease the tension. She could see thay Go Youngeun was hesitating about asking, so she decided she would ask instead. Plus the man with an eye patch clearly wasn't planning to say something any time soon.
"We don't have any information about this disaster."
Agent Bronze responded back as he looked around the room.
The room had a big TV and around it, there were also 4 sofas.
There was no disaster in the Bureau records about anything like this.
The people here are mostly Daydream employees... And familiar faces as well...
'The one with the eye patch...he was in the mountain lodge and mermaid tomb disasters...'
'Agent Mint is here too...'
"Do you Daydream employees know what this disaster is about?"
The others shook their heads or avoided Choi's eyes completely.
"Well, let's focus on how to get out then!!"
It's good to keep the positive energy, Lee Seonghae thought.
The TV automatically turned on.
[ Welcome ( 〃▽〃)]
"Well, this isn't weird at all."
Agent Choi comments.
"At least it welcomes us, usually the darkness skips that part and starts to kill us."
Agent Choi nods his head on Falcon part but who knows how long the peace will last.
"Lets not give it any ideas, miss Falcon."
[ How many of you are here hmmm ]
!!!
[ We are missing someone wait for a second ]
The TV turns off again.
"The darkness is surely taking its time huh.."
"Well it doesn't look like it has any malicious intentions..."
The 'yet' was left unsaid.
Miss Falcon, Dolphin and Agent Mint started to have a conversation that Choi can not hear as the group waits for the certain someone.
"Bronze-ie, let's go and take seats while we wait."
Agent Choi and Agent Bronze decided to take the one completely on the left side of the room.
Park Minseong suggested the others should take a seat too, so Lee Jaheon took the seat on the sofa next to the Agents and Park Minseong sits right next to him.
Since the girls were still in conversation and Eun Haje didn't wanna leave her squad alone. She sat on the right corner of the second sofa right next to Park Minseong, and Lee Seonghae and Go Youngeun sat on the third sofa.
Ho Yuwon took the fourth sofa all to himself or at least thats what it looked like to Baek Saheon.
He clearly didn't wanna sit next to the director so he had to suck it up and sit next to Go Youngeun which didn't really make her really happy either.
[ (o≧▽≦)ﾉ ]
???
"I don't think that should appear."
"Obvio-"
*cough cough*
Someone finally appeared.
They were crawling and coughing as if someone had just poured bucket of water on them.
They had orange pants and a plain wet white shirt. Their dark black hair was dripping wet too.
Even from not seeing the face of that someone, everyone connected the dots.
"Grapes-ie, are you alright?"
______________
'Where the hell am I...? Just a second ago, two jerks poured water over me to wake up and now I'm somewhere else...'
"Grapes-ie, are you alright?"
'I can hear someone talking to me...'
'Let's focus...'
I finally stop coughing and take a deep breath to mentally prepare myself for what is about to come.
"Are you alright?"
Wait a damn minute that sounds like...
"Section Chief...?"
I finally look around and notice what's happening.
Everyone is looking at me with confused or more like concerned look well maybe except for Baek Saheon...he looks more amused...
Why is this so...embarrassing...
"Hii...?"
"Are you alright, Roe Deer?"
"Ahh!! Yes, I am alright. Sorry...uhm just little wet."
"Oh deer, what happened to you Grapes-ie to get so wet?"
"It's nothing but... where are we?"
This is really embarrassing situation...
There is TV, 4 sofas from the looks of it and us.
This must be the reaction room....
It's a ghost story where strangers or friends gather and react to one of the people in the room.
It's not really dangerous unless you start to insult the darkness itself.
Of course, the certain individuals who are having their life shown right in front of everyone can't complain and just react with others.
The darkness is mostly interested in how the individuals react and takes enjoyment from it.
"We are all in a darkness, do you know something about it?"
A hit of sudden nostalgia came on me.
Section Chief asked.
It has been over a year since I have last seen them...
"Well...yes. Someone will be chosen and we will react to them...As long as we don't complain we can get out of it."
I'm glad, we all got to meet up again.
"Ahh well then we should react as soon as possible so we don't keep the darkness waiting."
Park Minseong commented with soft smile causing everyone to go back to their seats.
However I didn't know where to sit...
I should most likely avoid sitting next to Baek Saheon but that didn't really help me to choose...
Everyone has sacrificed so much for me but something just tells me I should sit next to him...
We both misunderstood each other and didn't get to really talk much at the end because of what happened, so I decided to sit next to Ho yuwon.
The seating from left to right looks like this right now – Agent Bronze, Choi, Lee Jaheon, Park Minseong, Eun Haje, Go youngeun, Lee Seong-hae, Baek Saheon, Ho Yuwon and Me...
"Can I ask you something, Roe Deer-nim?"
"Yes, of course...what is it?"
"Why do you have a Namae Branch sticker on your neck?"
Ehh?! How does Counsellor Ho know this?!!
"Uhm...I know it might sound crazy...but I just woke up there..."
Let's be honest..
"I understand, no need to be tense Roe Deer-nim."
"I wasn't really tense, it was just unexpected!!"
Counsellor, I don't think I could ever be tense around you...I was just shocked...
"Thank you for answering, Roe Deer-nim."
Who would have thought that I would see them so soon...
[ Is everyone ready ( ＾ω＾ ) ? ]
Everyone turned to look at the screen.
[ I will take this as a yes (〃´ω`〃) ]
"Will it start with the reaction now?"
Go Youngeun asked.
Her black cloak and clothes reminded me of the times when we saw her in Sekwang...
'Now that I think about it...everyone looks younger than I last saw them or is it just because of the stress that happened in Segwang...'
[ Today we will react on...(^○^)]
'Please don't be me...'
[ Kim Soleum ( ≧∀≦)ノ ]
'You have got to be kidding me...'
