As the best assassin in the Embassy yearning for another job to do, Lee Nari's newest mission caught her off guard: kill Kim Seokjin.
Killing a wealthy prince of a well known kingdom seemed pretty easy to Lee Nari. But with the prince's protector, J...

WHEN THE group reaches the main level of the mall again, they're making their way to the front entrance, being cautious to avoid any of the shooters as they laid low on the outskirts of the building's insides.
As Namjoon used his strength to help Seokjin walk, Jungkook walks over to Nari who was slightly trailing behind the group. "You okay?" Like Yoongi, Jungkook could tell Nari was still on edge.
"There's just no way, it's this easy." She couldn't get the thought out of her head. Maybe she was jinxing it, but Xena obviously had something to do with this, so where was she?
Jungkook only sighs, "Let's just be thankful it's seemingly over." He replied, giving the girl a warm, reassuring smile.
Nari only looks at him, returning the smile. Only hers was a faint, in-genuine one. She knows what really happens when it's all over... She had to leave.
Just when Jungkook thinks everything is fine again, everything is at peace, a bullet from the second floor flies their way, making the group flinch. The group is quick to shield themselves behind a wall.
Jungkook held the girl in his arms, his eyes shutting from the bullets flying their way. Nari stuffed her face into his chest, flinching with every shot.
The first bullet that had flew their way grazed Jungkook's bicep as he winced in pain. Nari gasps, reaching to touch his bloody bicep as a natural instinct, hoping he was okay. "I'm fine." Jungkook quickly reassured her.
Yoongi was angry now as his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. He pulls his gun out, shooting back at the people before shielding himself behind the wall once again.
Namjoon, on the other hand, was struggling to take care of a weak Seokjin as he tried to fight off the people too.
"We're cornered!" Yoongi shouts, continuing to shoot the people. "I'm going out there." He said, making Nari's eyes go wide.
"What?!" She exclaims. "Yoongi, you're walking into gunfire. Think about this."
Yoongi only looks at her face, a look of pure serenity and seriousness laced in his. He eyed the girl with pure adoration, a bit scared he wouldn't survive to see her again. But he couldn't let them down either, he wanted to play hero. "I did think about, Nari. I'm going."
Yoongi then digs through his pockets, handing the girl his phone with the mall's floor plan on it. "Take this." Is the last thing he says to her.
Before Nari could disoblige, Yoongi already runs from their shielded area and away from the group. Nari is about to run after him when Jungkook holds her back. "Don't!" He says. "Don't follow Yoongi, he knows what he's doing."

"Instead, go find the girl." Namjoon suggests, flinching as another bullet comes their way. "We'll deal with these guys."
Nari attentively nods, leaving Jungkook's embrace before she sneaks away from the gunfire and from the group. She goes through the back door of one of the shops, going into the same hallway they were in earlier.
She runs, not wanting to waste time. Quickly, she finds the back staircase with the help of Yoongi's phone with the map of the mall on there.
Opening the door to the staircase, her heavy breaths echo throughout the tall room. She swiftly runs up the stairs, passing the doors as she passed each floor, a number on each one. One, two, three.
At the third floor, she briskly opens it before looking down at the phone screen again. There were only shops on the floor, seemingly no closest's or rooms with doors.
She opens the door, exiting the eerie hallway before she's in one of the gutted shops. She could hear the gunfire from two stories below her. She exits the shop, scanning each and every one she passes as she walked around the third floor.
When she glanced down, she noticed there were no railings on each floor. One shove and she could fall to her death.
She shook her head, continuing to search for this Song Misun. From across the mall, she faintly see's a girl laying in the center of one of the gutted shops. She gasps, running around the entire outskirts of the floor before she's met with the girl.
"Misun?" Nari breathed, stepping closer to the girl. Her dark hair was blocking her face as she laid on the floor, passed out cold. She wore a thin tank top and tight spandex shorts. It wasn't the same outfit she was wearing from the hotel security footage. Whoever did this changed her clothes.
Nari pushed Misun's hair away from her face, noticing that it was in fact her. As she did so, her fingertips grazed the girl's cheek, noticing that she was absolutely freezing.
Suddenly, the store gate creeks as it shuts behind Nari. She swiftly turns around, surprised at the sight of a girl shutting the store gate, trapping Nari, her and Misun inside.
"Well, well, well." Xena smirks, crossing her arms. Nari quickly stands up to her feet, taking a couple steps back. "As luck would have it, the boys decided to send you to me."
"What?" Nari muttered, confused.
Xena steps closer to the girl, uncrossing her arms as a look of annoyance laced her face. Her eyes brows were furrowed and she had an evident smirk on her face.
"Don't you get it, Nari?" Xena says in a soft tone. "The ambush, the car chase, the disappearance of Seokjin, the shootout that's happening right now? You're standing in front of the mastermind behind it all." She muttered.
Nari stares her wide eyed, shocked. "But... How? Why?" She murmured. Nari slowly and stealthily goes to reach for her gun.
Xena steps closer, never taking her eyes off of Nari's face, too busy to notice the girl reaching for it. "Isn't it obvious?" She deeply chuckled. "You kissed Jungkook at the masquerade ball. You danced with him. You're a liar." She spit.
This surprises Nari as her hand pauses in inching toward her gun. She scoffs. She couldn't believe this. "Seriously? You did all of this for over a guy?!" She retorts, throwing her hands up. "And he kissed me first, maybe you should talk to him." She rolled her eyes.
