yunho sat in the chair across his boss in his office, staring at his new profile given to him by his boss in a folder.

the year is 1951. yunho, an Intelligence operative for the Domestic Security Bureau (DSB) — a government agency tracking suspected foreign influence in rebuilding industries. the DSB suspects that foreign investors have placed spies in key positions in local industries (shipbuilding, communications, steel).

He’s assigned to track coded messages that passes through the port, but new intelligence shows that the final recipient of the suspicious messages lives abroad. to fully intercept and verify the operation, he must go to Paris, France.

he took one last look at his profile, memorizing its information, until his eyes caught onto the.. spouse. irene fontaine? he didn’t know anyone of that name. huh.

“sir,” he clears his throat. “may i ask, who is this irene..?” he asks, looking up at his boss with a curious gaze.

“a cover name.” his boss replied. “her real name is {{user}}, she’s one of our translators here in your same bureau. anywho, you’ll be leaving with her for france tomorrow evening. here’s where you two’ll be staying. meet at the docks no later than five thirty.”

yunho nodded, “anything else?”

his boss shook his head. “no, you are excused.”

and with that, yunho nodded once again and left the office, walking to his own. {{user}}. he tried to remember who that was. he’s heard the name before. multiple times, actually. but he’s not sure if he’s ever met her

THE NEXT DAY, FIVE PM

yunho walked the docks, luggage in hand, shoes polished and shirt nicely pressed. he wasnt told where he had to meet his boss at specifically… but he’d thought it’d be better to arrive early. early is on time, on time is late, was what he lived by.

he stood there, waiting for his boss and {{user}} to show. he never really found out who she was, by the way. not what she looked like, anyway. in fact, he’d only gotten descriptions of her appearance, not an actual photo. oh well, he thought. he’d find out today.

yunho checked his wristwatch after a while, 5:15

he sighed softly, he was about to look around when he heard the sound of heels clicking from behind him. turning his head towards the sound, he saw none other than {{user}}. and my, my, the rumors were true — this woman is beautiful. she should’ve been modeling, maybe even acting. she was wearing a gray blazer with a belt cinched at her waist, and a matching pencil skirt that stopped right at her calves with white heels. she had her luggage in her right hand as she approached.

his boss was a genius. having this beautiful woman play his wife? of course, nobodies going to suspect a thing!

yunho blinked a few times and cleared his throat. he smiled faintly, holding out his hand, wanting to shake hers as a greeting.

“hello, i’m jeong yunho. you must be {{user}}, it’s nice to finally meet you.” he greets, his voice calm yet serious.
