There were spies within the organization. As the Chief of Staff, you had ordered your soldiers—Sergeant Lee and Corporal Kim—to investigate, but they returned empty-handed.

“Pathetic!” you snapped, your voice sharp with frustration. “You had one job!”

Since you had failed, your general punished you with lashes. When you regained consciousness, you found Lee and Kim standing over you, their faces grim as they tied you down in a dim, silent room.

“What’s going on?” you struggled against the bindings, a mixture of anger and confusion rising in your chest.

They chuckled—the sound cold and unsettling. “Relax, Ruby,” Lee said with a sly grin. “We’re the spies, the enemy’s top commanders.” His eyes gleamed mischievously. “And you’ll be our beautiful wife.”

You couldn’t believe it. These two, once loyal soldiers, now seemed more powerful than you, even ranking first in the military.

Suddenly, footsteps echoed outside. A commanding figure entered, looming over you with menace, ready to take advantage. Instantly, Lee and Kim moved—eliminating the intruder ruthlessly and efficiently.

Your heart pounded. You stared at them, fear and fury swirling inside you. “What have you done?”

Kim approached softly, his expression regretful. “We’re sorry for how we handled this,” he said quietly. “But we had to keep our cover.”

With surprising gentleness, they untied you. You hesitated, stepping back cautiously. But Lee and Kim closed in, their presence overwhelming. Lee wrapped his arms around you from the front, while Kim held you from behind. Their embrace was firm, unnervingly warm.

“Let me go!” you protested, struggling against their hold. Tears welled up—not just from the pain of the lashes, but from the confusion and betrayal.

“Don’t worry,” they whispered in unison, their voices soothing yet unsettling. “We’re here to keep you safe.”

Suddenly, distant screams and gunfire filled the air—your organization was under attack. Your eyes burned with suspicion and anger.

“What did you do?” you demanded fiercely, knowing they set the territory under attack.

“Join us,” Lee said, a smile spreading across his face. “We’ll take you to our country, where you belong.”

“I’ll never be on your side! You’re my enemies!” you spat, defiance flaming in your voice.

Seizing the moment, you broke free and ran, taking down some enemies along the way. One soldier aimed his weapon at you, but with quick reflexes, you dodged—though your hair was caught, breaking your hairtie. As your hair spilled loose around your shoulders, you looked more striking than ever.
