It was still early into the morning, nearly noon when Nari deemed herself ready for the task at hand. Luciel dubbed her the confusion agent with one goal, fuck everything up and distracted the enemy. She sighed looking over her notes. She didn't understand everything, but she did understand enough. She worked up her own formula to build a firewall within Luciel's so the hacker got confused enough to attack her leaving Seven to swoop in for the kill. If it worked the chatroom would be hacker and Rika free.
Nari watched was Luciel leaned over her from behind and started typing on the screen. She blinked as the fast green text scrolled up the screen and Seven typed fast to keep up. She swallowed not sure if she'd be able to do this. She was trapped between his arms and the computer half listening to what he was explaining to her. She'd nod here and there but honestly it was mostly gibberish to her.
"You're in wreak havoc!" He exclaimed allowing his fingers to be replaced by hers. She let out a sigh of relief that the code didn't actually scroll it was the speed of Luciel's typing that caused it.
"Agent 606 is on the job!" She exclaimed starting to type a few lines of code she memorized earlier to Luciel's amusement. He just chuckled before moving to his own computer.
"Let's hope your god awful coding really does throw him off." Seven teased watching her on his own screen. She watched as codes started scrolling at an alarming rate on her screen. He's fast and she wouldn't be able to keep up. Biting her lip she cut off her thoughts and focused on the lines of code she knew and started typing. The more she typed the faster she was getting, she saw Sevens codes and after only a dozen lines she could input a few of her own.
"Nerd!" She muttered trying to keep up with him with her own codes. He snorted and slowed his typing to allow her to keep up. Nari didn't miss the impatient tapping of his fingers as he waited for a few lines of her own to scroll up the screen. She gazed at one of the cheat notes biting her thumb before she frantically started typing. He whistled as she picked up her speed and successfully placing her own fire wall. She watched as he countered bit not fully breaking her code apart. They both ignored the pings from the messenger as the other realized the changes in the chatroom.
Nari gasped as new lines of code started to attack hers, Seven groaned and half attacked her too. Working off of memory she hurried her own fingers to counter her own attacks. She side glanced at Luciel as her fingers continued to move to write the same five lines of code over and over. He had an amused grin on his face as he watched their battle ceasing his own attack on her. She smiled softly before throwing in a guard and another wall of protection on herself... with a frantic lines of broken code started to appear she knew she at the hackers full attention when Seven started typing again. He was in another program on a different computer as he secretly attacked Ray and continues to half ass attack her on another. She was amazed he could code two different things on two different screens at the same time. His fingers fluttered about two keyboards as his gaze shifted from one screen to another. His eyebrows fused together as he concentrated at his task. Beautiful.
Nari smirked as she changed her tactic starting a whole new line of code. The others lines got more hectic as their phone buzzed and dinged in an unrelenting choir. She knew everyone was confused as to what was happening. Nari continued her typing with one hand as she lifted her phone and logged into the chatroom for a brief second.
Nari has entered the chatroom
Nari- Luciel noticed the third hacker and is working on removing them. Everything is under control!
Nari has left the chatroom.
She smirked hoping that would release supposition that the third hacker is her. She glanced at Luciel who raised a curious eyebrow but didn't say anything as she worked her fingers like lightning.
After repeatedly typing the same 20 lines of code she really didn't have to think about it much anymore. It was like muscle memory at this point. Her fingers where getting stiff and sore. She gritted her teeth to bear it as she moved her fingers at an impressive speed. The hacker was clearly confused when he finally booted her out to have Luciel pause his sneak attack and re-enter her so she could build the same sad fire wall again. If Nari wasn't so focused she would have laughed at the situation. She was basically telling the opposing hacker to look at her right hand so he didn't see what her left one was doing. She snorted at he own thoughts gaining a glace from the redhead beside her. She shook her head and continues typing away.
"We did it. You can stop now." Luciel spoke with a light chuckle. Nari blinked and she gazed at the screen. He was right the hacker was no long attacking her code. She was so concentrated she didn't even notice that Luciel had removed Rika and Ray from the code and messenger. She halted her aching fingers and brought them to her lap at she turned her gaze to him slowly. She laughed whole heartily.
"Sorry I didn't noticed Ahaha~" She sang out looking into his eyes
"Now I've got to clean up your mess and add new algorithm to the messenger." He informed her turning back to his computers. Nari brought her fingers up and flexed them repeatedly wincing as the stiff digits fought against her wishes. "Good job Zero Six~" he cooed softly with a warm smile on his lips.
"I can't feel my fingers!" She informed him causing him to bark a laugh.
She frowned slightly trying to force her poor little fingers to move. They cramped and ach caused Nari to gasp out in pain as she felt her tendons in her hand spasm and tighten together. Luciel turned to the girl grabbing her hand swiftly and started messaging the muscles in her hand under his strong thumb.
"Sorry, I forgot you're not use of hours of repeated typing." He mumbled focusing on the cramp causing her pain. She whimpered and whines as his thumbs rubbed into it releasing the knot.
"It's- eck-" She shut one eyes in pain. "Okay, my ludicrous plan worked." Nari explained sighing as he worked the knot out feeling relief flow from her hand. Luciel smiled bring her hand up to his mouth placing a light kiss on it before releasing her and moving back to his computer.
"I think whatever you typed into the chatroom helped too..." He trailed off adjusting his position as be opened the messenger app.
"We should order food." She mumbled checking the time it's closing in on five pm.
"On it." He rolled holding his phone to his ear to place an order at a nearby sushi join. Naris mouth water as he spoke on the phone. To distract her from the dull hunger she checked her phone. She had 33 missed calls and 41 text messages. She sighed while reading through them.
"Oh V's out of surgery!" She gasped in surprise before reading more of Jumin's messages. "And Jumin wants to end things with Mint eye." She mumbled that part as anxiety swelled on her chest.
"Yeah Vanderwood messaged me asking me to secure the other hacker." Luciel told her and she frowned.
"I'm going with You!" She muttered and he frowns.
"No." His voice was definite and didn't leave room for further discussion. Nari frown and pressed more.
"Ray is obsessed with me! If I talk to him he might come without a struggle!" Nari tried to reason. Her blood ran cold at the look he shot her.
"More reasons for me to leave you here! It's dangerous. No!" He barked in an unkind vitriolic tone.
"Would you please just listen to me?" Naris own tone held venom.
"Nari!" She flinched as his fist hit the desk. "No!" His voice rose with an acrimonious undertone. Nari stubbornly raised her eyes to his refusing to back down. He raised a challenging eyebrow willing her to press him further on the subject. Oh she took was going to take him up on that challenged.
"I'm a skilled and well trained medic in trauma related injury!" There she played her Trump card causing his eyebrows to scrunch as he debates her words.
"My answer still stands! If I have to leave with Jumin and an army of body guards to keep you in place I will!" He threatened and she scoffed.
"It's like I wouldn't be unhelpful. Think about It! The hacker feels a bond with me! I'm a skilled medic and trained for trauma! JUST FUCKING TAKE ME WITH YOU!" Nari basically screeched the last part as her body shook. She was angry and losing her temper
"No." Luciel repeated in a scathing tone before turning his eyes back to the computers. Nari raised a frustrated growl as she stood abruptly stomping out of the room.
"My fucking god you're irritating!" She hissed over her shoulder as she slammed the door behind her.
Nari made her way to the bedroom before flopping herself down face first into the pillows. She broke basically screaming as her sobs escaped. It was a tearless attack. Nari was so worried she held her breath trying to keep herself from being sick. Her vision swam as she thought about all the possibilities of his mission. She gasped for air as most of them ended with him hurt... or worse.
Knock Knock Knock
"Nari, we have to get going to the hospital... we can stop for the sushi on the way." Luciel spoke loudly threw the door.
Nari blinked wide eyed at the door before moving her shacking body from the bed. She braced herself with quite deep breaths to regain her composer before facing the man on the other side of the door. One step. Two step. And then her hand was on the handle. With a frown and eyes averted to the floor she turned the door knob and opened the door. To her surprise he wasn't there. Blinking in confusion she looked about the hall finding no traces of him.
"You ready to go?" Luciel's deep voice caused her to jump while she let out a surprise squeak. She shot the man a glare as she walked past him making her way toward the garage.
Nari walked into V's room... well more like she stormed. Thing went from horrible to worse while confined in his car with him. She watched as V and Jumin ceased their conversion as she enters with Luciel a step behind her. She seated herself into an empty chair beside the bed crossing her legs and arms refusing to glace toward the redhead. V and Jumin examined the duo carefully trying to decipher the current mood. She turned to look at V and offered him a forced smile. He raised a graceful mint eyebrow in return.
"Nari, enough... please!" Luciel begged with a sharp tone. She ignored him in stride as she flipped through V's medical charts she stole along the way.
"Uh... Hello." V greeted in a kind voice flustered by the mood of the new comers.
"Nari?" Seven called her, she continued to read not acknowledge the hacker.
"How are you feeling? Any pain? Discomfort?" Nari asked in a sweet voice still reading the chart.
"No, I feel fine." V informed her and she nodded turning the page.
"Oh so you moved from screaming at me to utterly ignoring me?" Luciel accused leaning against the wall. "Grow up!" He snapped those biting words. Nari continued to read the chart as she kept a stoic poker face.
"The surgery went really well. Your white blood cell count is growing." She sighed smiling closing the chart and setting it on the table beside her.
"I heard you gave me blood. Thank you." V thanked her softly eyes moving down.
"It was nothing. I just did what I was trained to do!" She assured him with a sweet smile.
"You both seem to be having a disagreement." Jumin concluded causing Nari to look him.
"Understatement." Nari agreed looking away and she heard Luciel sigh.
"My answer isn't going to change." Luciel stated and she audibly growled causing the two bystanders to look at her in surprise.
"I'm older than you! Stop treating me like a child! Stop treating like I'm too naive to understand the situation!" Nari snapped. He barked a mocking laugh that made her blood boil.
"Says the girl that willing allowed herself to be kidnapped and taken to a religious cult!" He mocked her. She stood glaring at the redhead.
"You think I was willing! You think I wasn't scared that some stranger called me. That they knew who I was! They knew my address. I was scared and I choose to not fight back in hopes they wouldn't injure me. I wasn't safe! I'M NOT FUCKING STUPID!" Nari words left acid on her tongue as their venom sank into him. His eyes widen slightly, so slightly she was sure the two other men didn't take notice. However she did notice the two older men taken aback at her use of profanity. She flushed in embarrassment to having an audience, though her gaze of Luciel didn't fail her.
"My answer is still no." He replied bluntly his eyes bore into hers. Molten gold was melting into boiling honey.
"If you get injured I can fix you!" Nari growled between her teeth and his eyebrow twitched.
"What if you get injured? Who will fix you?" Luciel's voice warmed near the end as he closed his eyes and sighed. "It's not a chance I'm going to take. I'm trained for missions like this." He tried to reason with the upset woman who was scared for his safety.
"And I've trained to save lives!" She countered earning another glare from the redhead.
"Fine, Jumin, I request you put a security detail on Nari. Make sure she doesn't follow me when I go deal with the hacker." Luciel told Jumin who nodded his head while texting on his phone.
"I swear to god, Luciel, if you don't return uninjured I'm going to wreak havoc!" She warned him sitting back down in her chair not missing the slight smile on Luciel's lips.
"When do you plan to take care of the other Hacker?" Jumin asked cutting in.
"Soon, it's quite the drive, but I'm almost done preparing. I'll leave within the hour" Luciel explained the plan to Jumin as he grabbed his computer from his bag and made himself comfortable on the floor.
"On another note, how was there another security breach in the messenger?" V asked. Nari covered her mouth hiding a smile.
"He just woke. I didn't get a chance to fully explain." Jumin explained V's confusion.
"There wasn't a security breach. Nari was the third party." Luciel explained in amusement as V's eyes widened and looked at the woman.
"It's true, my fingers a stiff too!" Nari said with a smile.
"I don't understand?" V's eyebrows scrunched together.
"She's clever. She spent the morning studying enough to be the confusion agent taking the opposing hackers attention so I could boot Rika and him out of the messenger." Luciel explained and V again stared at Nari in confusion and awe.
"That's impressive." V gasped eyes the woman. "Luciel isn't one to sing praises about someone's intelligence."
"I was impressed as well." Jumin agreed with praise in his voice. Nari flushed.
"Yeah, she was so awful that if I wasn't aware I'd be completely lost too." Luciel poked fun causing her to turn with her eyes shooting daggers as she stuck out her tongue.
"You're just jealous my plan worked." She gloated shrugging her shoulders.
"So this just leaves securing that hacker and Rika correct?" Jumin confirmed still texting on his phone.
"I plan to deal with both myself. We know Rika is at the apartment, I have the security cameras to keep an eye on her. Plus I've managed to gain access to the cameras at mint eye and have been watching the feed there as well." Luciel explained typing away.
"I don't like this..." Nari muttered mostly to herself.
"We will end this as peacefully as we can. I promise you Nari." Luciel's eyes met hers bearing the weight of the promise to her.
"As peacefully as you can without getting yourself hurt." She clarified to his an amusement. He beamed at her and nodded before turning back to his computer
Nari Attempted make casual conversion with the childhood friends while Seven typed at his computer. They were waiting for whatever items he requested from Jumin before heading back to mint-eye headquarters. Her stomach flopped as she pondered the 'what if'. Nari was half listening to the ramblings around her as her while she chimed in ever once and awhile. She just couldn't make her head stop think about worse case scenarios. She carefully lifted her eyes to Luciel observing him while he worked. She had a carefully placed smile upon her lips to hide her inter musings. She just couldn't shake this feeling that something horrible was going to happen. Luciel lifted his eyes toward the woman's and offered her a soft smile as if he had hacked into her mind and knew her internal turmoil. Flushing slightly at being caught watching him she darted her eyes around the room to distract herself from the fluttering in her chest.
"The items have arrived." Jumin informed the party as his grey eyes scrolled along his phone.
"That's my que." Seven said in a light tone standing while placing his computer in the bag. Nari frowned as a sense of panic courses throughout her. Luciel was a step from the door when she stood and rushed over to him tugging at his sweaters sleeve. He turned slightly to look at her with a frown.
"Can I at least walk you to your car?" Nari mumbled eyes down cased.
"Are you going to attempt to go?" He asked her in a stern voice. Nari blinked looking up at him biting her lip.
"No..." She decided she didn't have any more fight left as the worry ate away at her. She just wanted to be with him a little longer.
"Okay!" Seven exclaimed with a bright smile on his face causing her eyes to widen and a blush to grace her features. She nodded numbly as he grabbed her hand and led her out of V's room, hearing a mumble from the bystanders about her being cute. Nari felt her blush spread farther as Luciel guided her throughout the hospital. She felt the eyes of the nurses as she was lead down toward the elevators, she couldn't make out their whispers but she was sure they were about her. After all she did work within the hospital.
"I might not get to see you for a while." Seven stated as they waited for an elevator. Nari frowned still not looking up from the floor. She intertwines their fingers and tightened her grasp on him. He hummed quietly rubbing his thumb along her skin.
"We're all going to be okay... right?" Nari asked him as they stepped into on elevator.
"I believe so." He murmured pressing the button to the parking garage. They stood in silence until the door opened revealing the underground parking unit.
"Mr. Kim!" Luciel called to a man standing near his car. Nari followed quietly waiting a few steps from the men. She watched as Mr. Kim handed a rather large brief case to Seven before nodding and walking away from the redhead. She observed as Luciel turned opening the trunk to his car as he opened the case in it, hiding the contents with his body. Slowly like approaching a stray Nari walked toward him. She flinched as the clack of her heels echoed throughout. He closed the case and trunk as she walked up beside him.
"I guess this is good-bye." She whispered touching his arm gazing up at him.
"I God Seven Defender of Justice will be back before you have time to miss me!" Seven chimed pulling her into his arms. Nari felt her eyes getting wet as she snuggled into his chest inhaling his scent.
"I miss you already..." Nari mumbled into his chest gaining a soft chuckle and a kiss upon her head.
"My god... You're just too cute. Even angry and slinging profanity at me makes me want to coo about how cute you are." Seven teased earn him a half-hearted slap on the chest. Nari looked at him and frowned when she met his eyes.
"Come back." She ordered and he gave her a sad smile touching her face.
"I promised." He murmured before leaning in to press his lips to hers. Nari jumped slightly, they never had kissed somewhere so public even if they were the only one currently in the parking garage. She felt him smirk at her reaction before deepening their kiss. Nari sighed into the kiss allowing herself to melt into him.
Too soon he pulled away and tilted her jaw so she was looking at him. Nari smiled at the tenderness in his eyes.
"I want you to say my name." He confessed and she blushed while blinking at him processing the request. Soon a warm smile graced her features.
"I'll get right here rooting for you, Saeyoung!" She chimed before he groaned and pressed soft kiss on her face causing her to softly laugh.
"It sounds so good coming from those pretty lips of yours." He cooed before pressing her against the car and attacked her mouth. Nari brought her hands up to cup his jaw while he looped an arm around her waist pulling her close.
The heated kiss ended as quickly as it started when he stepped away from her causing a whine of disappointment to escape her throat that he chuckled at "stay safe, I'll be back for you." He told her moving to open the driver's door and Nari walked over as he seated himself within.
"I'll be here waiting for your victory!" Nari said with a smile.
"Oh! I feel your energy. Victory is guaranteed now!" Seven exclaimed starting the car and Nari shut the door for him.
"Come back to me safe and unharmed." Nari cooed and he winked.
"Until then take care of yourself." Seven requested she nodded stepping back from the car and he pulled out of the parking spot. Nari stood there smiling until the car exited the garage.
Nari walked pass the nurses station on her way back to V's room pausing to listen to their gossip about her. When they noticed her standing there with a raised eyebrow they blushed and stuttered before resuming their work. Nari sighed knowing perfectly well that she was above them so they were careful around her.
" where you headed back to Jihyun Kim's room?" The youngest nurse asked her.
"I am?" Nari informed her.
"I was about to go and give the patient his dose of pain medicine. You see we have laboring mothers and not enough hands on the floor. If you wouldn't mind Doctor would you mind giving him his dose for me?" The young nurse babbled clearly nervous to be asking a doctor a favor.
"Oh course, Page me if you need a doctor on the floor!" Nari chimed kindly to her and she smiled back nodding.
"Thank you!" She bowed slightly before running off causing Nari to giggle to herself.
Nari walked toward the nurses station and around the counter to the back where the cases medicine for mending surgical patients where. Ignoring the hushed whispers of the nurses watching her Nari punched in her code to the medications. She grabbed a needle and a bottle of pain medicine.
V and Jumin where chatting quietly with one another as Nari entered the room the two men once again stopped their conversion to glace toward her.
"I've got the goods!" She told them in a deep voice holding up the medicine and needle. V smiled at her and Jumin looked otherwise unamused.
"Tough crowd." She mumbled walking toward where V's chart was lending over Jumin to grab it. She side glance at him noticing a slight blush at her closeness. She snickered to herself before standing away opening the chart to find V's weight and fill in the time and dose. Swiftly she set the items down and washed her hands before covering them with rubber. She allowed it to snap on her skin playfully casting V a sadistic smile. "You are at my mercy now." V looked uncomfortable and Jumin smirked at her intimidation.
"You've spent too much time with Luciel." Jumin scolded her as V chuckled.
"Maybe I'm just a sadistic doctor?" She argued tilting her head to the side giving him an innocent look while filling the needle with liquid. She held up the needle allowing some to squirt from the top. Both of their faces where priceless and she doubled over in laughter.
"Oh my God... Too funny." She gasped walking toward V. "I'm going to inject this into the IV stream. You'll feel better and probably will sleep." She informed the quite man while inserting the needles to the tub and allowing it to take the medicine with it.
"Thank you." V mumbled eyes already heavy.
"Don't fight it. You heal when you sleep." She informed him taking off her gloved and tossing them in the garbage before properly disposing of the needle.
"He's gone." Jumin stated in disbelief.
"Told you I got the good stuff." Nari giggled sitting in the chair beside Jumin's. She curled her small frame around her knees resting her forehead on them. She felt Jumin's gaze on her as he observed her closely.
"You look tired." Jumin concluded causing her to giggle.
"I've been up since six a.m. and working with three hours of sleep. Tired is an understatement." She explained moving her head toward Jumin still allowing it to rest there.
"Would you like to go home? I can send a security detail with you." Jumin offered and she snorted.
"I'm but a prisoner." She sighed sadly. "He's going to be okay... right?"
"I'm assuming you mean Luciel. He's done more dangerous things I believe... He'll mange I'm sure." Jumin explained not comforting her at all. She snorted understanding why everyone calls him a robot. "I also agree with Luciel that you need to stay put and not be placed in more danger." Nari blinked at him.
"Are you caring for me Jumin?" She teased and he cleared his throat.
"I care for everyone in the RFA." He stated in a tone that meant the conversion was over.
" !" A female voice called into the room catching both hers and Jumin's attention. A five foot four petit woman with long honey hair and vibrant blue eyes walked toward them.
"Oh MiU." Nari gasped as the woman marched over to her and crouched down to be eye level.
"The nurses where talking about how stressed you looked, so I figured I'd come check on you." MiU explained with a grin.
"Oh I'm fine." Nari I formed her and MiU frowned.
"You look really pretty today, but if you don't relax you'll get worry lines. Then there will go your chances of finding a boyfriend!" MiU scolded playfully causing Naris eye to twitch.
"I'm not worried about finding a boyfriend." Nari huffed back, while side glancing at Jumin who looks confused but amused by the exchange.
"Oh~ does that mean the rumors are true about sleeping beauty over there being your lover!?" MiU exclaimed looking toward V excited.
"No... V's just a really good friend of mine." Nari explained softly looking toward the slumbering man as well.
"Oh ho~ It's that cool looking redhead then!" MiU concluded causing Nari to blush slightly.
"Neither man is my boyfriend MiU." Nari finalised.
"What about the mister beside you?" MiU asked tilting her head pointing with her thumb toward Jumin.
"I have no romantic interest in Nari." Jumin spoke up seeming rather unamused with the assumption.
"MiU would you mind going to my apartment and getting me a bag of cloths?" Nari asked changing the subject. MiU blinked at her for a moment.
"Yeah sure. I'm done for the night unless a trauma comes…" MiU explained standing. "I'll be back in a bit, don't miss me~" She cooed toward Nari before exciting the room.
"You two seem close." Jumin stated.
"MiU was in the same class as me. We graduated together and are now working together in the same program." Nari explained with a smile. "I guess you could call us close."
"The woman has access to your apartment?" Jumin questioned.
"Yeah we gave each other keys in case of an emergency. MiU worries because I'm 'young." Nari used her fingers to air quotation the word young.
"She doesn't appear much older than you." Jumin continued his integration.
"She's four years older... and way too interested in my love affairs that don't exist." Nari sighed before looking at Jumin.
"We have that in common. People are often interested in my non-existent love affairs." Jumin smiled at her causing her to blush and look toward the ground.
"I'm too busy thinking about building my career to think about accepting another into my life. It a hectic schedule, I'm use to working 72 hours straight without a break. Plus if I am off I'm often on call so if there is need for back up in the E.R or O.R I have to come in." Nari explained. "But if I find the right person, someone who gets that my career has to come first right now I wouldn't mind having a lover."
"I see... You're a very mature and ambitious woman. I respect that." Jumin concluded still smiling a handsome smile at her. Nari blushed but smiled back. "I shall inform Assistant Lang of your work hours, she should be more grateful of my work schedule." Nari blinked as a grin crossed her features before she laughed.
"Jumin you can be so funny at times." Nari basically cooed at the man.
"And your humor is too similar to Luciel's." Jumin scolded crossing his arms.
"Oh come on we both know my jokes are better than Sevens!" Nari defended herself earning a chuckle from the man causing her eyes to grow wide before smile spread across her features. They both fell into a silence while they listened to the noises of the hospital
