At Rika's apartment, 707 sat on the chair and typed his keyboard from his laptop. Detonated the bomb and hacked everything from Rika's history. Suddenly, the blueprints of Mint Eye flew down on his keyboard. 707 was shocked a little as he noticed and took it.
"Why there's some blueprints in Rika's place?" he questioned.
"Because Rika had this a long time," Sora replied as she walked behind 707. Wearing Yoosung's white T-shirt.
"Sora? How did you find this? Also, why are you wearing Yoosung's shirt?"
"From Rika's drawer and my clothes are here."
"Yeah. And you need a bath," 707 mumbled as he read the Mint Eye blueprints. "Rika is hiding something. It's like that she donated the money for building it."
"Guess right, dude. Not just donate it. Mostly, saving some extras... Technically, I'm pretty sure that Rika ain't dead yet," Sora said.
"What?! How can you say that?"
"Rika's time and place are unknown. Of course, V witnessed it but that's not enough story. I investigated every river or beach or ocean to search her aura but she wasn't there. Near or far, I can sense it but Rika's aura is a different story," Sora explained as she packed her things in her bag.
"True. All we do now is to ask V after the party. I need to investigate the Mint Eye again," 707 noted.
"Sure you do. You have hacking skills but I don't trust you when you're alone or near-death," Sora murmured.
"Look! I'm sorry that Yoosung got hurt. I went back to save him," 707 felt guilty.
"I always forgive you as a friend with honest reason but I only have a hard time to trust someone. Glad you didn't tell him about the bracelet," Sora smiled.
"Yeah. I did. Anyway, how are your bruises?" he analysed her from head to toes.
"I'm good. Those fuckers tortured Yoosung totally hard. I wish I was there to rip their balls out," Sora answered irritated.
"It's done, Sora. We didn't do some dirty jobs here," 707 sighed. Then, his cellphone rang as he answered it. "Hello? Oh! MC, glad you called... Oh! Nothing, babe. Just searching random stuffs for fun... So, what dress are you going to wear?... Red one. Haha! Is it because of my awesome hair or our power of love?... I miss your laugh because you cheered me up... See ya at the party... I love you more," 707 smiled as he ended the call.
Sora showed her goofy smile or :3. "Who's calling you?"
707 sighed. "Mina Chan or MC for short. She's my girlfriend."
"Oooooh! ~ Girlfriend, eh? You rule breaker! I thought having lovers aren't allowed for secret agents like us," Sora laughed as she patted him on the back.
"Oof! I know that. I want to break up with her but I can't," 707 muttered.
"Say whaaaat?! Why?" Sora asked with a shock.
"Well, she's always there for me... Dating with me in three years... And be patience with me because of our work. In the dangerous situation like what happened at the Mint Eye, I don't want to let anyone harm her, just like my own mother abused my brother and I felt useless to protect her," he mumbled sadly.
"Don't say that... Every human beings made their decisions. Yoosung wanted to go with you to save me from the bomb and succeed to shut the fucking bomb. As well as I decided to make a spell for his safety and respect his decision. Even though, I was afraid that the Mint Eye gang kicked him but he didn't give up and fight like a man... Um... Not accepting bruises and scars like a reckless badass. Bravery, having high hopes, think positive and believe in God are the tips becoming a man," Sora reminded.
"So, you trust him."
"With his decision and my support, yeah. However, the life and death decision game causes my period bursts."
"I see. That's why you preferred to be alone as an assassin. I understood that," 707 nodded.
"Very well. I'm off. Yoosung might looking for me. See ya tomorrow at the party," Sora saluted as her teleportation is ready. Before she left.
"Sora, don't forget our deal," 707 remembered. "Make a gift for MC. I paid the things you need, right?"
"As a favour or deal, no prob," Sora smiled as she disappeared with a flashing light. Sent back at Yoosung's apartment.
On the eleventh day, it is the day of the party. Sora and Yoosung ate pancakes together while checking their emails.
"Whoa! Fuck me gently with the chainsaw! We have thirty-three guests to go to the party," Sora dumbfounded.
"You're pretty amazing being a party coordinator," Yoosung smiled as he sipped his hot cocoa.
"Not really. I kinda gave the wrong response sometimes. At least, it's a higher number than nine or ten. Both our friends like or dislike to invite someone. My goal is to invite more guests than nothing," Sora memorised.
"Correct!" Yoosung agreed cheerfully. While looking the texts from the chatroom, he spitted his hot cocoa like the comedy show that a man shocked with tremendous spit of coffee. "Sora, why did you say that on the chatroom?!" he shouted with his face turned red.
Sora raised a brow. "About what?" she confused. Checking her smartphone.
~Chatroom~
Zen: "I'm glad that you two are safe. Next time, I'll join you soon. T_T"
707: "Well, you know that it's cautious to go there. Besides, you don't want to beat up like Yoosung."
Yoosung: "He's right, Zen. Even on my eye and face. :/"
Zen: "I will try my best to avoid hitting on my handsome face."
Sora: "Are fighting skills part of the acting?"
Zen: "Yes but only if the play is an action play."
Sora: "Sounds cool. If you boys go into that and get wreck again, I'll cut your nuts and you'll never have make love again."
Zen: "O_O"
707: "O_O"
"Is it too dirty?" Sora asked.
"No, you're scary. I was a-okay yesterday," Yoosung replied.
"It's a threat but not a real thing. I was worried about you and the others. Since you freed me, I'm the one to kill those assholes for you," Sora said.
"Heehee! You're my yandere girlfriend," Yoosung chuckled nervously.
"I'll be your Yuno and you're my Yuuki," Sora smiled with a wink.
12:00 PM
All the guests were arrived. Jaehee was standing to make the attendants. She wore a brown sheath dress with white blazers and white high heels.
"Welcome to the party. Please state your name," she said. As she looked up, she surprised.
Yoosung and Sora arrived with their RFA ID pass. Yoosung wore long sleeves, dark blue polo shirt with yellow bowtie, brown pants and black leather shoes. While Sora wore above-the-knee black gothic dress with red rose accents, red ribbon for her hair, fishnet stockings and black boots with rose design. They are holding hands like a couple.
"Yoosung, Sora, you made it. You two looked stunning today," Jaehee smiled.
"Thanks, Jaehee," Sora bowed as a Japanese tradition.
Zen appeared with his white coat with white sash, black pants and shoes. He's more like a prince than a celebrity. "Hello, Jaehee, Yoosung. Whoa! Sora, is that really you? No wonder you like black. You're so cute wearing your gothic lolita dress," Zen amazed.
"Thanks, Zen," Sora grinned happily.
"You finally meet in person, Sora," A calm voice spoke. It was coming from Jumin with his expensive gentleman tuxedo.
"Whooooa! Jumin, looking good with the tuxedo," Sora surprised.
"Thank you for the comment," Jumin thanked.
"Yo! What's up, everybody!" 707 greeted, wearing black polo shirt, white vest with red accent, black pants and leather shoes. He brought his girlfriend, MC in long, cocktail dress.
"So, you must be MC. Hi! I'm Sora. Welcome to the party," Sora greeted with a kind smile.
"Thank you very much. Nice to me you all as well," MC smiled.
"Yoosung and Seven are so lucky. I'm jealous," Zen mumbled.
"But at least, I invited your fan club and workers," Sora said.
"Everyone, welcome and thank you for coming here to this memorial party."
Everyone heard the speech from the stage. They turned their heads that it was V.
"My fiancée and founder of RFA, Rika invited many guests for the wonderful party and donated money for charity. It's been one and half a year that she passed away but her mission lives on as me and the members of RFA continue with or without success. Everyone changed after her death. Until, a new member and party coordinator, Sora made a better future for all of us. Thanks to her, you are all here. Sora, can you give a speech."
"S-s-s-Speech!" Sora startled.
Yoosung patted her shoulders. "We're here for you, Sora. A small speech from the heart is alright," he reminded.
Sora sighed as she stepped to the stage, closer the microphone on her lips. "Um... Hiya people! Thanks for coming... Um... I didn't know all the history about her but all my friends said that Rika is very special. Just like her cousin and my boyfriend, Yoosung said, she's a magician who makes everyone happy. It's despondent that she's not here to this world but her existence isn't dead. She's a ghost, angel, reincarnation person or anything else. To me, our minds still remember her and the lessons we learn from her. Additionally, our hearts still love her whenever she goes and we never ever forget her. That's a reminder if we lost someone and you need to be strong because God will take care of them for you and they will watch over you... Thank you," she ended her speech.
All the guests, RFA members and Yoosung gave her applaud. As Sora walked down the stage, the guests gave great comments about her speech. Sora smiled and thanked to them kindly. Anyhow, she seems uneasy to talk to them that she doesn't know. Only Yoosung made her better. After talking to the guests, she walked to the balcony to meet up with 707. 707 is sipping his favourite Ph D. Pepper soda.
"Did you order a drink?" Sora questioned with a smile, her hand placed on her hip.
"I don't like coffee, wine or alcoholic drinks here. Good thing, they have soft drinks," 707 answered.
"I should buy a cocktail drink here. Oh! By the way," Sora took out two half yellow star with tiny half heart pendants and black cords for the necklaces. "Do you remember that I asked you about where are you and your future bride marry? Space station, right? The yellow star is the wishing star and the heart is love. When you combine them together, you know what I mean."
"It's cute. MC will love it. Thanks. Although, I can't wear mine," 707 said.
"You wore a cross. You can keep it on your pocket or make a keychain for car keys," Sora suggested.
"You have a lot of ideas... Say, where's Yoosung?" 707 raised a brow.
"Huh?! Holy shit! I wonder where he is. I shouldn't-"
The lights turned off as the stars spotlights went on with the music on.
(Tadhana – Up Dharma Down, English version by The Day Writer)
Sora heard that song before. Of course she heard it. The song is when she sang for Yoosung. She entered back to the party as the other couples waltzed to a slow dance.
"May I have this dance?" Jumin asked as he let out a hand.
"Um... Sure. I better ask Yoosung-"
"I already asked his permission."
Sora and Jumin danced in the middle of the dance floor. Unfortunately, Sora felt uncomfortable that she danced someone, making her boyfriend jealous.
At the unexpected
Meeting of the worlds
There are only a few that connect
And we feel it resonate
"You know, when we first met, I thought you're a stranger but we all spent each other as friends. I delighted that V joined you here. As well as Yoosung changed for who you are. The party is successful because of you," Jumin said as he gave a red rose to Sora and left.
"Huh? Jumin?" Sora confused.
Isn't it enough, the pain and all
that I will never let you experience
Your eyes are giving you away
They're screaming for love
"He knows that I'm next," she heard from her behind that Zen smiled for the next dance.
"Um... Is this a debut or something?"
"Haha! Nope. Let's dance a little," Zen danced with her. "Remembered the chats? You're an awesome person that you have a crazy talk. You accepted all the guests that we requested... Also that trust fund jerk invited the cats," he murmured.
"Sorry. I'm just doing my duty," Sora giggled nervously.
"That's alright. The important is that Yoosung moved on from Rika's death and be by his side. Well, Seven will be next," Zen smiled happily as he gave her another red rose and lend her hand to 707.
Why not pay attention
To the lack of affection?
We are hoping
(No matter if it's) north or south
You are my ending point
And as your refuge
I will be the one to save you
"Peekabo!" 707 greeted cheerfully.
"Seven! You too? Is MC jealous about this?" Sora questioned.
"Nope, she's the last dance after you. I'm going to give her a gift soon," 707 winked with a smile. "Seriously, Sora. You love Yoosung deeply. Support him. Calm him down and trust his decision. You don't need a sign of healing spell for his protection and get hurt yourself. The only best medicines are love and understanding. Some men can be reckless but they want to protect their loved ones more. Remember, God blesses us for our lives."
"Thanks, Saeyoung," Sora thanked by using 707's real name.
707 did the same as Jumin and Zen and bowed like a gentleman. "It's all yours, lover boy. Chao!" then, he went to MC.
Sora turned around with a smile. "Yoosung, is this your plan of being... romantic?" she stupefied as Yoosung brought forty-seven red roses.
Where are we headed?
We are barefoot and puzzled
But the storm of fate
Is bringing me to the warmth of your embrace
"Yes... Jumin, Zen and Seven gave you three roses. Add forty-seven roses equal fifty roses for unconditional love. Sora, I know you're not Rika but all I know that you're my guardian angel from the heaven who changed my life. Accepted the past, moved on and forgave the person. It was like tadhana. No matter how far you are, you're remain by my side. Sora, we're not in a chatroom but can I court you as my girlfriend for real?" Yoosung asked as he gave the bouquet of roses to Sora.
Sora blushed as Yoosung confessed to her in the romantic moments. They did confess their feelings before but she lied to him about she used her clone to date him. Sora placed the bouquet slowly on the floor gently and looked up to him. "What if I denied it?"
Yoosung felt nervous if she asked that question for the first time. He doesn't have the experience about break ups in reality. Only in the romantic movies he learned. Break ups are agonizing but it depends on their reasons. "If you said 'no', I'll accept it. You may have your reason but I won't force you. My friends told me that break ups are painful and your love never comes back. I guess we can be friends without hard feelings, right?"
"True... To be honest, Yoosung. 'No' is not my answer and we're not breaking up."
"Huh? Then, what is your answer?"
"This?" Sora jumped and hugged Yoosung with sweet kiss on his lips. Yoosung's eyes widened open as he felt a bombshell answer from his girlfriend. He accepted her hug and kissed passionately. All their friends and guests cheered for the new couple.
Why don't you say
What you can't admit?
Are you just going to leave it to the wind?
Don't be afraid
at the whisper of your emotions
I'm here and I'm listening to you...
Whoo... oohh... ho... ooohh...
Whoo... oohh... ho... ooohh...
Whoo... oohh... ho... ooohh...
Whoo... ohhh...
Lalalala...
'Action is louder than words'. As a conclusion, Sora took the action to reply to Yoosung.
A kiss means 'yes'.
THE END
