V tightened his grip for the woman beside him. She grew thinner from the last time he met her, and her face was paler, as if her entire blood had been sucked out from her body without any agreement from its host. He tried to say something nice to console her, yet the voice that came out from his mouth was only a choked sound. He was devastated seeing his lover suffered like that.

"I love you, Rika.." his voice wavering, "Do you remember? I always tell you.. I will never leave you.. I am your sun and you will always be in me," V said, trying to hold back his tears that almost fell in his chiseled cheeks

"I'm inside the sun.." Rika slowly answered V. She rested her head on V's shoulder as her gaze stretched far into the waves at the horizon, "I will be born again inside of you," she continued, "I'm going to stop thinking about the abandoned past. It will only bring more fear. I want to be in the present… I want to be in this moment where I love you… This moment where I'm looking at you, this moment we're making together… I cherished it so much," her tears fell into his bare upper arm skin, "V, you are my sun, and I'm your sun.."

V lost his ability to speak as tears finally found their path to run down his face. He gently reached Rika's hand and kept it safe within his grasp, he would never let her go anywhere.

…

Eun Ha was left dumbfounded to see her screen showed what seemed to be a chat room of a typical messenger application, with some people chatting inside it. The display was a bit different from the previous chat room with Unknown as it wasn't in a level BIOS script anymore. Though, she had never seen any messenger application that had the same interface like that one.

A few people kept on chatting, and a boy was weeping for his failure in his test while other people were teasing him for that. A faint smile broke on her lips, although she wasn't supposed to be, considering a bizarre situation she was in. They didn't realize that Eun Ha unintentionally joined their conversation. It was a guy with username 707 who noticed there was someone else joining the chat room, which triggered every person in the chat room.

707 : WAIT! I think there's someone else in here .

Yoosung : What?! Who?!

ZEN : Eun Ha?!

Now that she was busted, she couldn't not say anything any longer. People in the chat room must have freaked out finding their likely private chat room got breached like that. It was the time for her revealing herself, perhaps a simple hello would suffice as a starter.

Eun Ha : Hello

Yoosung : Gahhhh it's talking!

Yoosung sent shock emoji

"Of course I'm talking, I'm human too.." Eun Ha muttered while trying to find a switch on the wall

The room was completely dark, one thing she feared most for as long as she could remember. Somehow her brain set it that Sadako would crawl and grip her foot with her long-thinned-pale fingers and drag her into the abyss, leaving her family behind, searching for their lost child into every part of the world, only to find no clues of her whereabouts. A cold shivers ran down her spine as she shook her head to forget her scary imagination. She found the switch at last, after a moment of groping the wall near the door.

She switched it on and her eyes squinted from the light that lit the room. That was until her eyes were accustomed to the light, she began to see a view in front of her. It was a studio apartment or some say, an office tel, with a bed right across the door, filing cabinets beside it, a set of computer and dining table in the living room. Her eyes widened at the sight of the chair. About time. She craved for sitting down for a while, her legs almost give up for the pain the heels made her.

She wiped the dust that stuck on the chair before sitting down. It was thick. The room also smelled weird, probably because of the dust particle in every corner of the room, glad she didn't have any problem with her lungs, otherwise she would probably cough uncontrollably.

Han Jumin : Who is it?

Yoosung : Find out what it is!

Kang Jaehee : How did you find out about this place? Where did you download the application?

707 : Oh…^^;

707 : Wait.

707 : Just found something. This is weird.

ZEN : What is it? Hurry and tell me.

707 : I traced the IP…

707 : It's from Rika's office tel.

Yoosung : Rika's office tel?

Han Jumin : Where was it?

Kang Jaehee : The location was not revealed. I know it to be classified.

707 : Anyways, someone must have broken into her office tel. It talked just now, so it must be a person ^^;

"Rika? Who is that?" she asked confusedly after reading the conversation.

Despite the commotion from every people in the chat room, something caught her eyes. There was someone in the chat room with a username ZEN. She knew that name. It was her bias that she always paid attention to on twitter bot. She didn't believe her eyes. It was impossible that she could really be in the same chat room with a celebrity like him. She couldn't help thinking whether they were real or not. How could Zen chat with her as a friend? Perhaps, they were all robots programmed to say things?

A guy with username Han Jumin demanded her to reveal herself at that instant. She was about to tell them who she really was, but she lost her chance as the others constantly sent out their chat in a light speed. 707 said that he would hack her if she didn't say anything, meanwhile Zen got a bit joyful because he thought she was one of her fans, intriguing Han Jumin to fuse his anger, though it was rather a true guess.

She couldn't stay silent any longer. It was time to finally introduce herself.

Eun Ha : I am Lee Eun Ha. Who are you all and what is this place?

707 : Lol so awkward.

707 : I thought it was a computer talking.

ZEN : Seems more normal than I thought.

Yoosung : What were you thinking?

ZEN : …Nothing~ Nothing.

Yoosung : Should we… introduce ourselves?

Han Jumin : Are you serious…?

Kang Jaehee : I think it's a bit too early for that.

The next thing she knew, they began introducing themselves, even though Kang Jaehee and Han Jumin seemed to oppose the idea. Zen, 23 years old, musical actor. He sent his selfie a moment after that, a combination of beautiful and handsome figurine with his long silver hair, fair skin, and attractive red eyes. It hit her, he was indeed the one who she always see on twitter. It was true. She didn't believe herself for getting to know him at last.

A red headed with yellow black stripes pattern in his glasses as it was seen in his profile picture was 707. He was called Seven by Yoosung. He told her that Zen's real name was Ryu Hyun. This Seven guy didn't want to tell her his real name. "It was secret," he said. He told her to only remember him as a 21 years old young hacker and his house was also a secret. "What's with the secrecy?" Eun Ha mumbled. Then Yoosung introduced himself. His name was Kim Yoosung, a bright young boy with blonde hair and star pins in his hair. 20 years old, college student in Yonsei University. Well, it was the same alma mater with her, so she got excited and typed that she was from Yonsei too.

Eun Ha : Hey, I graduated from Yonsei. Apparently I am an assistant lecturer sometimes.

Yoosung : What? A professor?

Eun Ha : No, I'm just an assistant.. Didn't you read? Lol

Yoosung : Oh, right. My mistake. Got a bit worked up there.. Lol

ZEN : Lol. Yoosung.. You couldn't tell the difference between assistant lecturer and professor?

Yoosung : Hey, by the fact that she teaches in my university shocked me already.. Maybe you've known what I look like?

He sent a shy emoji

"It was so cute," she thought. She racked her brain to the fullest, trying to remember if she had a glimpse of yellow haired guy in one of her classes. But no, it didn't ring any bell, not to mention she was also bad at remembering stuff.

Eun Ha : No, I'm afraid I haven't seen you. I'm not too aware of my surroundings.. ^^

Yoosung sent a depressed emoji.

Yoosung : Ok then, we'll get to know each other from now on.. Lol

Eun Ha : Yes, apparently.. ^^

707 : Don't let her caught up you're typing or sleeping when you are in her class kiddo. She might throw you a chalk or something.. Lol

Yoosung : I'm not sleeping!

707 : Oh really?

Seven teased Yoosung for a while there. "They must have joking around often," Eun Ha thought. Not a moment later, Seven told her about Jumin and Jaehee. Han Jumin was the heir of a pretty famous corporation, C&R International, and Jaehee was his assistant, 26 and 25 years old.

Seven posted a photo of a young man with black hair in a suit feeding a cat. It was Han Jumin. He told Eun Ha about Jumin's cat, Elizabeth the 3rd, with a slight disagreement from her owner as he was scared Eun Ha would try to kidnap her or something, giving such a tingling sensation for Eun Ha to see a reaction of a cat person. She was a white fur Persian cat with sparkling blue eyes. Eun Ha didn't really fancy cats, though she didn't hate it either, but Elizabeth the 3rd was indeed so beautiful. Zen was the one who had troubles with cats. He said he was allergic to it. His allergy was too severe as he could sneeze while seeing only a picture. "So cute," she grinned at the thought

They talked about V. Turned up he was their leader. What he led, she had no idea. They talked about the identity of Unknown which she couldn't say much. Nothing was recorded. She thought she could show her conversation with the Unknown guy, but the chat room disappeared at the same time those people appeared in the interface. It happened so fast she couldn't think of screen shooting her conversation with Unknown as a proof of her innocent.

Eun Ha got taken aback by Jaehee's statement that she would call police anytime. Eun Ha could have screamed at Jaehee for suspecting her too much. But, she held herself. She would have freaked out as well if there was stranger coming in her chat room. She couldn't blame Jaehee for being cautious. Fortunately Jumin ceased the tension by saying he didn't want to reveal anything until they figured out who Eun Ha was.

Seven on the other hand assured everyone that Eun Ha was not dangerous. He used his ability as a hacker to search everything she could find about her. But, he didn't completely do the background check. "Not yet", he said.

707 : Saw her face in the CCTV.. She's cute .

Eun Ha could swear her cheek got reddened by Seven's compliment toward her. It was the first time a stranger told her she was cute. But the sudden fact that Seven uttered caused ruckus from Zen and Yoosung. They demanded Seven to share Eun Ha's picture in the chat room. "No.. Don't.." Eun Ha begged. She was not ready to let her face known by Zen, her ultimate bias, let alone if he remembered their encounter with each other years ago. It was not the time she revealed that she was indeed one of his fans.

707 : No~ It violates her privacy~

Eun Ha was relieved at his decision for not posting her picture, meanwhile Yoosung and Zen pouted to Seven, telling him that it wasn't fair for him to know what she looked like for the first time. Being the one who made everyone curious made Eun Ha felt a slight of joy in her heart. Moreover, they were like cute little brothers to her.

Seven then shared a picture of woman, making Eun Ha jumped one bit at the thought that it was hers, but it was not. She had short brown hair, wearing glasses, looked like a successful career woman with a dominance aura around her. Zen, Yoosung, and Jumin were startled by that. They thought it was a picture of Eun Ha. But actually, it was Jaehee's picture. So cute that they all didn't recognized their friend's picture, moreover for Jumin, as Jaehee was his assistant. Eun Ha giggled while reading all those chats. She didn't know there would be people who would be attractive like them, someone as bright as Yoosung, or a joker like Seven, or a handsome boy like Zen. She forgot about the mysterious Unknown for a while there, when suddenly V came to chat room.

V told everyone that he was as flustered as everyone could be. He didn't know the password of this office tel either. When Yoosung said that he wanted to come to this office tel, Seven forbid him. Seven wouldn't give him the address of this office tel. It was a bit confusing for Eun Ha actually, "Why did it have to be secret?" she whispered

It was not Rika's office tel either. It belonged to V. Yoosung wondered why V didn't know the password even though V was Rika's fiancée. V stated that he had never even been in this office tel. He just knew where it was. Rika was the one who worked there.

V : There are a lot of documents in there that must not be damaged.

V : I can't reveal the address because all the classified information about this organization is stored there, plus other sensitive materials..

Han Jumin : I didn't know the place contained sensitive material.

Yoosung : You don't trust us enough to let us go, right?

Han Jumin : Don't take it personally. It's better to be ignorant sometimes.

V : Yes, for the reason Jumin said.

V : Anyways, I can't tell you the address. I'm sorry.

Yoosung : Then how did Seven know that the address he traced is Rika's apartment?

Kang Jaehee : Since he's responsible for the organization's classified information.

707 : Yup, that's true, but also I'm the only one who developed this app.

707 : Rika wanted to take care of some work through this too.

707 : I went to her place to link the app with some of the documents in her computer.

Yoosung : Oh…

Jumin : I see.

V : Only Luciel and I know the address.

She supported her head with her palm that rested on the table and placed her phone on the table, scrolling the chat room again, while figuring out who Luciel was. From the first time they appeared in the chat room, there had no username called 'Luciel'. She failed to understand about that part hence she questioned it in the chat room.

Eun Ha : Luciel?

707 : Oh, that's my real name. V had a habit to call everyone by their real name. lol

"Real name?" she asked confusedly. Her eyebrows got wrinkled again for the past hour as she questioned about the mysterious aura this Seven guy had, "How come a person has more than one name?"

V : I repeat, since the information must be protected, please do not attempt to find the apartment. Do not ask Lee Eun Ha about it, and Miss Lee, please do not reveal the address.

Being asked suddenly by V made her wonder for a while. She looked around the office tel. As far as she could see, there were indeed a few cabinets and a computer in the office room. One bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, and the last were the balcony. She observed that office tel, every details of it. She found nothing suspicious in that office tel.

Eun Ha : What's classified information?

V : All the information there is classified.

V : So, Miss Lee… Is that what I call you? Please do not touch anything there.

Eun Ha : Ermm… V… Just call me Eun Ha… ^^;

V : Ah, right…

ZEN : Lololol you're cute

She recoiled at Zen's praise for her. She could see her hand trembled above the screen. Her eyes didn't blink for the next seconds as her brain still set her eyes to see the sentence. It was such a beautiful syllable, nobody, not even her friends, would believe she would casually speak with her bias like that. It was like a dream come true. She could feel a butterfly flying right around her tummy, though such feeling didn't last longer, as the next sentence from V ruined it all.

V : Anyway, please don't touch anything over there. For example, if you try to force open one of the drawers…

V : The alarm will ring.

A snake slithered inside her womb now, as frantic questions filled her thought. What alarm? What the hell was that classified documents about? If the alarm rings, then what would happen? Could she stay at this suspicious office tel? Everything was suspicious. She had a second thought. It was not a joke anymore. She thought it was only chatting with a regular people and somehow she accidentally joined their conversation. Everyone must have the same reaction with her.

V, at the next attempt, said that there was a possibility that Eun Ha was led to Rika's office tel by someone who knew Rika. Someone that Rika trusted enough to know the exact location. V's theory was not welcomed very well by the others. Yoosung didn't believe there was another person Rika trust enough to know something that they had no idea about. Yoosung was her cousin after all.

V kept his theory that Rika must have wanted someone to do the work she did before.

Han Jumin : What…?

ZEN : No way…

Kang Jaehee : The work Rika did before…

707 : Hosting parties?

ZEN : You mean Rika's party.

Yoosung : Do you really think… that Rika planned this?

Yoosung : If she made that decision when she was alive…

V : That's my guess.. but yes.

She couldn't completely grasp everyone's chat. She had to re-read every chat to fully understand what they were talking about. But even though she tried really hard to understand, she still couldn't get the hang out of it. What parties? Who was Rika? Who were they?

She felt like she was a kid all over again while watching grownups talking nonstop about politics or stock prices. She couldn't help herself but thinking, perhaps it would be best if she didn't approve that Unknown's guy request from the first time…
