このちいさなまどから、ぼくはきみのよこがおをさがして、さびしいだから
◆◇◆
Atherina sat opposite Aleena. There were only the two of them in the room. Han Jin was resting in his apartment. Han Gun went nowhere. On the table were two glasses of wine.
"Drink" Aleena said. Atherina looked down, "I don't drink."
"Han Gun is the same age as you, he drinks too." Aleena moved her hand so that the girl in front of her would drink. Atherina nodded and drank some of her wine.
"I never thought there would be another woman in this dark world other than me" Aleena said. Atherina listened well.
"Your name is so good, so beautiful to hear, and it reminds me of something. You know what your name means?" Ask Aleena.
"Glow in the void" the girl replied quickly. Aleena nodded, "Too dangerous this dark world is to you, young girl. You better back off and go back to your comfortable home."
Atherina looked up at Aleena, "I came here for this job. I don't have a home to go to."
Aleena frowned, "Where are you from? Have you ever worked in another group before?"
Atherina. He was thinking. The woman in front of him stared intensely at Atherina. He was waiting for the answer from the girl.
"I used to work as a gun salesman in a group. But, I am not allowed to meet with the group leader. That's because I'm a subordinate. I was not given the name of the group. I was only given the task of transacting with buyers in a certain place."
Aleena digested the girl's words then nodded in understanding, "I know, there are some groups that are closed even with their own members. All right, what position do you want?"
"I. want the same position as Han Gun." Atherina's reply made Aleena startled and then laughed out loud. "Fool off you! It took Han Gun 10 years to get that position, are you kidding me?"
Atherina was completely unaffected by Aleena's words. He stays in his original position. Aleena who saw Atherina realized that the girl was not joking. Aleena stopped laughing, "Sorry, I am not beautiful when I laugh. Ehemm... Why do you want that position?"
"I just want someone to acknowledge me, acknowledge my power." Atherina's answer was so deep. Aleena tilted her head, "It's good your determination, son. But, I wonder how great you are? It's not usual for Han Jin to bring someone here if that person isn't special."
Several large men entered the room. Atherina looked around. There were about 12 people surrounding him.
"I do work with feeling, which means I do whatever I want. If you manage to fight them, you get a position as an ordinary member."
Atherina got up while kicking the chair back and hit one of them. Aleena was surprised, "Rude girl."
Atherina fought them deftly. Aleena gulped down her wine while closing her eyes. When her eyes opened, she saw Park fighting with her people. Aleena scrunched her forehead. His body slightly staggered fortunately his hand moved quickly holding the table. The woman rubbed her eyes. There is no Park. All he saw was a beautiful girl standing in front of him. All his men were drooping on the floor grimacing in pain.
Aleena looked around. He shook his head slowly as Atherina approached him. The woman held Atherina's shoulder to support her body. The girl was startled and reflexively held onto Aleena's waist.
"You're officially my member." After saying so, Aleena left and unintentionally nudged her men. He staggered. Atherina frowned, "He's drunk?"
After that, then,
Atherina went back to the apartment. He ordered food and checked his phone. No notification of anything. There is usually an Atherio who sends a message or voice note. The girl put her phone to the table, "Maybe she's busy. I hope nothing bad happens."
Atherina going to Japan did not bring things related to Atherio. There are no photos of Atherio. Atherina forbade her sister from calling. The girl did not want Aleena to know who she was. Instead, he called Ji Hoo and the others to ask Atherio. Or ask what his sister is doing.
Atherina called Carlos. Because yesterday she called Ji Hoo.
"Miss?"
"Uncle Carlos, how's Rio doing? Has he eaten?"
"Young master doesn't want to eat, he's doing something else."
Atherina frowned, "I mean?"
"The police suspect us, I think it's a burden of the mind for the young master."
Carlos' words made Atherina's eyes widen in surprise, "Police?"
"Miss doesn't have to worry, we've taken care of it. Tomorrow we're moving to New York."
"Yes, you have to be careful. Oh yeah, don't forget to deliver food to Rio. Tell him, as much as our enemy, don't make him forget to eat."
"Okay, I'll tell you, Miss."
"I'll hang up." After saying that, Atherina ended the call.
Apartment door knocked. Atherina turned her head and immediately opened the door. It turns out the food delivery guy. Atherina looked at the food she ordered. It still looks warm and delicious.
"Good meal, Rio."
Aleena looked down inside. Han Jin who was standing behind him looked calm.
"Group Park is really very closed. They do not let outsiders know their activities. I can't see my son from here." Aleena looked at the photo of Atherio wearing the uniform. There are many photos that he managed to get from paparazzi.
"He's very handsome. I want to meet him. Why wait another 7 years. What was Park thinking?"
Han Jin had no expression at all. He only listened to the grievances that Aleena would throw at him every day.
"Is there any other information about him?" Aleena asked as she turned to look at Han Jin. The man shook his head, "The group is getting closed."
Someone entered the room and bended, "Thundermother, the new member has arrived."
Aleena nodded, "Take him into my room."
"Good."
"Han Jin, you're coming too."
◆◇◆
It's a hot day, man,
Aleena sat opposite Han Jin and Atherina.
The woman raised her chin and said, "Erina, Han Jin has told me a lot about you. He supports you to have the same position as Han Gun. I took Han Gun with Han Jin when they were kids. The mission of devotion I gave to Han Gun when he was 6 years old. He worked on that mission for 10 years and now his position is quite influential in the lightning group. For Han Jin, he worked on a mission of devotion within 6 years. The rest were heavy missions and were three levels above Han Gun."
Atherina digested the woman's speech. 10 Years is not a short time. Inevitably he must renege on his promise to Atherio and go on a double mission.
"If you think 10 years is too long, you can cut it short. But, the level of his mission also increased." Aleena smiled intimidatingly.
"I want to finish in 6 years" Atherina said. Han Jin frowned upon hearing Atherina's decision.
"The 6-year dedication mission is dangerous. Han Jin lost his sight because of the mission. Aren't you gonna regret it?" Aleena said, ending the question.
Han Jin spoke up, "Think about that." Aleena turned to Han Jin then smiled.
Atherina nodded, "I'm ready for 6 years." Aleena knocked on the table three times with her pointy index finger.
"When did the mission start?" Ask Atherina. "It's up to you, you can start at any time. But, you better do a simple mission for starters."
"Han Gun will guide you," Han Jin said. Aleena turned to Han Jin. Atherina nodded in agreement.
After the meeting, Atherina and Han Gun perform various missions. It starts with a simple mission to a more difficult mission. The mission is called the mission of proof that is the mission carried out before the mission of devotion. It was quite difficult to be accepted into a trustworthy member in the lightning group. Aleena does like to make decisions at will and sometimes it burdensome to its own members.
Atherina began to understand Park's intentions. Aleena used her feelings in doing things. The woman acted according to her own wishes.
Han Gun was relaxing in his apartment while wearing earphones. He took a glass of orange juice and drank it.
When he returned to his position. He was shocked to find Atherina sitting in front of him. "Since when were you there?"
Atherina played scissors in her hand. Casually, he cut out Han Gun's earphone cord and put it in orange juice.
"From that moment I knocked on the door and yelled, You can't hear me because of this." That was Atherina's answer. Han Gun gulped down his orange juice without caring about the cable cut inside.
"What are you here for?" Ask Han Gun.
"I got a mission, let's get going now."
"Mission? Didn't we do a tough mission last week? When do we rest?"
"You don't want to get a promotion for your promotion? At least we're second after your brother."
"We? I've got a comfortable position. You haven't got a position like me."
Atherina hit Han Gun on the thigh, "When my position rises above you and below Han Jin, I can recommend you."
Hearing that, Han Gun's two eyes twinkled, "Right? You serious?"
Both of Atherina's eyebrows swooped down, "You think I've ever joked?"
Han Gun patted Atherina's arm while laughing excitedly, "Haha! Sure didn't! Come on, let's take a new position!" The man walked away with his spirit.
Atherina snorted while rubbing her arm.
◆◇◆
The silent night. There is a large house with a fort high enough to protect it. Not enough for security, looks some big people standing in every corner of the house. Not only that, there are some dogs that stand guard without being wrapped in chains.
There were two shadows leaping over the fortress and managed to steal the attention of a guard. He approached to make sure what was there. Just a few steps away, someone jumped onto his back and broke his neck quickly. Some dogs barked at two people dressed in all black with face coverings.
One of them shot the dogs with his silent gun. The two of them continued to enter the house when they heard the sound of the guards' footsteps.
One of the guards carrying a walkie talkie told the entire guard at the house, "There's an intruder!"
The two people dressed in black hid in one of the rooms. They opened the coverings in a sultry manner, "I didn't see any dogs yesterday." They are Han Gun and Atherina.
Atherina nodded, "No problem, it's our job to just find the document and get out safely."
Suddenly a voice was heard behind them. As soon as they turned around, there was a young boy. He looked towards Atherina and Han Gun alternately.
"Who-you guys?" Ask the boy in fear. The two gangsters from the lightning group looked at each other. Han Gun took the gun and then pointed it at the boy. Atherina pulls Han Gun's hand.
"Don't do it" whispered Atherina. "He saw our faces" Han Gun argued. They stared at each other sharply. Atherina shook her head, "This is not part of the mission."
The door was broken from outside. The guards carrying pistols pointed the muzzle of the gun at the room. The door to the room collapsed. The guards immediately entered. There's no one inside. There was only a boy who looked frightened while pointing at the wide open window. The guards immediately split up to look for the intruder.
In the car, Han Gun and Atherina look panicked. "Run the car" said Atherina. When Han Gun touched the steering wheel, someone emerged from the crossroads in front of their car. It was one of the house guards they had just come to (without permission). Instantly, the two hid themselves under the front seat.
Guards spotted a foreign car parked not far from the house. Suspicious, he approached the car and looked inside. He didn't see anything.
Feeling a little safe, Atherina and Han Gun sat back down. "Damn it, we're out of that house without the paperwork." Han Gun hit the steering wheel in annoyance.
Atherina gives Han Gun a red disc. "What's this?" Ask. "What do you think? That's the document." Atherina answered half-grumbling. Han Gun was surprised then smiled happily, "When did you pick it up?"
"Don't ask," Atherina replied with a triumphant smile. Suddenly someone appeared in front of the car while pointing a gun. Atherina and Han Gun were shocked. "Death, thief!"
He shot but missed, his shot hitting the car seat. "Run the car!" Atherina yelled while hitting Han Gun's arm. Without waiting any longer, Han Gun stepped on the gas and hit the person. The car left the location.
On the way,
Both teenagers were still in shock. Han Gun couldn't focus because of the incident just now. His speeding car almost hit the truck in front. "Revelation!" Atherina pulled the steering wheel to avoid the truck. Lucky Atherina on time.
"Han Guns! We just pull over" said Atherina. "No! They might be chasing us!" Han Gun brushed off Atherina's hand.
Once again Han Gun almost hit the car in front of him. "Han Gun!" Atherina shouted loudly. Instantly Han Gun hit the brakes. Their bodies flinched forward. The two looked at each other with breaths.
Atherina patted Han Gun's arm, "I don't want to die yet." After saying that, he got out of the car. Han Gun followed, "Erina! Where are you going?"
"I want to find water" Atherina replied without turning to her, she staggered. Han Gun shook his head slowly. After pulling the car over, Han Gun catches up with Atherina who enters a Japanese dining establishment.
Both ordered food and drinks. Han Gun is drunk and talking nonsense. Atherina did not respond.
He remembered the little boy in the house. Looked at it like Atherio when we first met. Atherina missed Atherio.
Atherina was stunned to hear Han Gun's voice. "Ah, I want to pee in my pants" said Han Gun as he smeared his head to the table.
Atherina patted Han Gun on the back, "Hey, get up. Tomorrow we have to go to a new school."
"Ah, I think I'm done." Han Gun scratched his waist.
Atherina rolled her eyes irritated.
Han Gun has changed his pants. He was wearing white shorts that contrasted with his clothes. Atherina folded both hands in front of the chest while watching Han Gun from top to bottom and vice versa. Han Gun snorted dejectedly, "Can you pick another pair of better pants?"
Atherina rolled her eyes, "Who told her to wet her pants." After saying that, Atherina passed followed by Han Gun who walked in a ridiculous manner.
They both entered Aleena's room. Both of them were surprised to see Aleena was not alone. There were several important people inside, including Han Jin. All eyes were on Han Gun, more precisely the shorts Han Gun wore. Suddenly the man's face flushed with shame.
Han Gun whispered, "Erina, it's your fault."
Atherina whispered, "I didn't know there would be many people in this room."
"Come here" Aleena said.
Han Gun and Atherina bend one knee to meet the lightning mother. Aleena looked at Atherina bending her right knee, "Bend your left leg, not your right leg." Atherina according to changing the position of her legs.
"I heard you were almost caught." Aleena's words made Han Gun and Atherina quite confused.
"The previous mission could have gone well, but why did this one almost fail? You don't have to fight, do you?" Aleena. Hearing that, Han Jin did not react at all.
"We didn't realize there was a guard dog in the house. But, Mom, just relax, we managed to get the documents they stole." Han Gun gave his disc to Aleena. The woman took the object and gave it to a computer expert.
"check the contents!"
"Good."
Atherina and Han Gun got up with their heads still bowed. Two bodyguards entered the room with small children. Atherina and Han Gun were shocked. The boy who was there when they both infiltrated the enemy's house.
It turned out that Aleena sent out special forces to kill everyone in the house.
"You should have killed the eyewitnesses. He can remember your faces and report them to the police."
"Now kill him!" Aleena said half-screaming. Atherina was stunned and looked at the woman with a look of disbelief. Han Gun glanced at Atherina who shook her head.
"But you two, shoot him!" Aleena said to the bodyguard who managed to take the boy. The two men pulled out a gun and pointed it at the boy's head. Atherina shook her head looking at the two eyes of the little boy who looked like he wanted to ask her for help. Not a word was said from his lips. All there was was was a terrified expression on that innocent face.
"Sir Nana." He heard Atherio's voice.
"No!" The screams of Atherina echoed in the room. Everyone looked at him.
"Light mother, please don't hurt the child." Atherina shook her head while shaking her hand. She was about to cry.
Aleena furrowed her brows furiously, "You two! Shoot her!"
Dor's! Dor's!
Dor's!
Atherina covered both her ears. He kowtowed while crying hysterically, Rio, forgive sister Nana.
The smell of rancid fragrance like blood bursting onto the sense of smell. Atherina was unable to move from her original position as the blood flowed before her. A hand touched his shoulder. By reflex, he pulled that hand and beat the owner.
Some people held her back, but the girl could still punch and move her body to beat them.
"Your assholes!" Shouting Atherina. Some people fell down to get hit. There seemed to be no failure when Victor trained the girl.
"Die you!"
The tiny hand touched Atherina's blood-filled stained fingers. The girl turned her head and was surprised to see that the child was still alive and she was staring at Atherina. He kissed and saw blood. It turns out that the blood came from a plastic bag that was deliberately carried by the two bodyguards earlier.
The silence changed when everyone in the room suddenly laughed except for himself and the Han brothers. Aleena laughed as if there was a joke.
"Look at his face, hahaha."
"It's funny."
"Haha!"
Atherina clenched her hands furiously, "Stop! It's not funny!" After shouting out loud, the girl rushed away with an annoyance that had not receded.
Han Gun caught up with him, "Erina! Anastasia!"
Unwilling to heed her friend's call, Atherina chooses to lay off the taxi. Han Gun took a breath as the taxi drove away.
The next morning, Han Jin came to Atherina's apartment. He brought school stuff for the girl.
"You shouldn't have acted like that last night."
Feeling offended by Han Jin's words, the girl stared intently at Han Jin. Both of his eyebrows swooped down, "I can't do this! Aleena is a monster! In the past, I thought there were no cruel monsters Park J. A.M.! But now I realize. Aleena was three times more terrifying!"
"So, what you say, young lady. You don't know how many eyes and ears are hanging around you."
Atherina threw away her face.
"Remorting to change clothes and going to school. Han Gun is waiting for you." After saying that, Han Jin moved his staff to get out of the room. Atherina felt pity, she helped Han Jin open the door.
After putting on her new uniform, Atherina rushes to meet Han Gun in the car. The man also looks neat with a uniform on his body.
"Konichiwa," said Han Gun. The girl entered the car. Han Gun showed the driver's pass to Atherina. The girl picked it up and saw clearly the contents of the card.
"Now I have permission to drive, how?" Han Gun asked as he brought his face closer. Atherina smiled as she patted Han Gun on the cheek, "Good, let's go."
Han Gun drove his car at medium speed, "We can't be far."
"Why?"
"We have to look like twins."
"What?"
"Don't protest, this includes missions."
"How can we be twin brothers?!"
"Why indeed? We don't need to have the same face. You're a girl, and I'm a boy. We are identical twins."
"What kind of catastrophe is this?"
◆◇◆
Hikari, a teacher who is the homeroom teacher for Han Gun and Atherina. The woman walked in followed by the two transfer students. They entered a noisy class. Seeing the arrival of Hikari, the class suddenly went quiet. Atherina and Han Gun looked at each other.
"Good morning, everybody."
"Morning, Sensei."
"Two people who were next to this mother were transfer students from Korea" said Hikari.
"Waaahh! Korean artist, huh?"
"It turns out they're high, yeah."
"Waahh there's Koreans in our class."
All the students cheered the arrival of the two teenagers. Atherina and Han Gun looked at each other.
Hikari gestured for Atherina and Han Gun to introduce themselves.
Han Gun who is a little master of Japanese began to introduce himself to the mixed language, "*Annyeonghaseyo*, yeorobun.my name is Park Jimin." Atherina gasped at Han Gun's ridiculous remark. The girl looked at the man beside her.
All the girls in the class were hysterically screaming. Han Gun smiled as he waved his hand, "It's nice to meet you guys."
Atherina rolled her eyes looking at Han Gun's behavior. "My name is Park Eri Na, please help, *arigatou*gozaimasu."
All the students in the class applauded. Atherina and Han Gun bowed respectfully.
Hikari smiled as she rubbed the shoulders of the two teenagers, "They are not identical twins, you have to be kind to these two transfer students, yes."
"Ha'i, Sensei."
The first learning activities in the country of people. Nothing special. Everything is going as it should. The difference is, all the students wonder to them about life in Korea. It was as if they were both idols.
"Park Jimin? Is your stomach as sexy as her?" Ask one of the students to Han Gun. The man smiled as he glanced at Atherina.
"Don't look at me" said Atherina.
"Why is your name the same as Jimin?"
Han Gun scratched his non-itchy head with a smile, "Maybe my parents like it."
"She's so cute when she smiles.it looks like Park Jimin!"
The clock has arrived.
During the trip Atherina protested against Han Gun, "Park Jimin? Why are you using that name?"
"Why indeed? I'm a fanboy."
Atherina patted her forehead hearing Jimin's silly fake reply in front of her. Han Gun laughed looking at the annoyed expression on Atherina's face, "My brother is also a fanboy."
"What?"
"You don't believe it? You can ask later."
At the lightning headquarters,
Aleena saw the arrival of Han Gun and Atherina, "You guys look cute in school uniforms."
The two men looked at each other and bent. Atherina said, "Light's mother, I. want to apologize about yesterday. I've been bad."
"Ah, I understand how you feel. You're still a rookie, I'm sure you've never killed anyone. So, that one last night made you shaken." Atherina just looked down at the thunderbolt mother's words. He killed people when he was a kid. But, he had no intention of refuting the woman's words.
"Your show last night made me even more confident in your abilities. You're really good at fighting. I doubt my men." Aleena's words sounded like a compliment to Atherina. Han Gun nodded in light of last night's incident.
"Emm, then. that kid.." Atherina was confused to find the right sentence to ask the situation of the little boy last night.
"You don't have to ask, you rest this week."
Han Gun got up while pulling Atherina's hand. They bowed respectfully before leaving the room.
Aleena took a slow breath, "That girl, reminds me of a young time first. But, I was prettier that time."
In the afternoon, Atherina went to Han Gun's house to ask her something. Once there, there was no Han Gun. Han Jin greeted him.
"What do you want to ask?"
With hesitation, Atherina replied, "This is about the mission we're going to carry out next week."
"So you don't want to tell me?"
"Actually, the lightning mother said. It's a secret mission."
"Oh, yeah."
"Yes." Yeah."
Silent.
Han Jin was seen sitting quietly. While Atherina tried to find a good topic of conversation to stop the awkwardness.
"Did you miss Korea?" Atherina asked breaking the silence.
"Emm, that's. I lived in Japan long enough, so for me nothing is different."
Atherina moved her shoes, "For me there are so many differences. Actually, I miss Korean music a little."
"You like music? Me too, do you idolize anyone?" Han Jin asked quickly.
Atherina blinked a few times, "I? Emm. that's it."
"I love to listen to music when I'm home alone. I idolize Park Chanyeol. He has a beautiful voice. I never get tired of hearing his voice."
Atherina smiled stiffly, "Oh, so. Emm, yes they are very handsome."
Silent.
Han Jin closed his eyes, "I want to see your face. Hearing your voice, I'm sure you're a pretty girl."
Atherina glanced at Han Jin. He watched the man without responding to his words. Han Jin smiled. "What have I said. Sorry to make you awkward. How's the first day at the new school?" The man changed the subject.
"Emm, our classmates are pretty good. Same with the teachers who teach. I think we'll be comfortable attending school here." Han Jin opened his eyes then nodded at Atherina's reply.
Han Gun entered the living room, "Erina? Have you been here long?" That's the question he asked. Atherina's gaze was fixed on Han Gun's slightly flushed neck. The girl frowned in suspicion, "Where are you from? Why your neck?"
Han Gun was startled and immediately covered her neck, "I. I. I've been dating."
Atherina narrowed her eyes and turned to Han Jin. "Did she tell you to go on a date?" Ask Atherina. Han Jin shook his head, "No, he just said he wanted to get out."
Han Gun sat next to Atherina, "There must be another mission, today I can't. We just got time to rest." The man diverted the conversation.
"It's a mission for next week" Atherina argued. Han Jin got up from his seat and passed by. The two teenagers stared at Han Jin's back which disappeared behind the door.
"Who are you dating?" Atherina Brief. Han Gun shook his head, "You don't need to know."
"What have you done with your date? Don't you embarrass me. Here you are my twin brother!" Atherina hits Han Gun's thigh.
The man moves both his hands in a circle in front of his chest, "A little playing with women doesn't matter, right? Besides, who can resist my good looks?"
Atherina hits Han Gun's arm, "Basic, hentai!" Atherina shouted in annoyance. Han Gun escapes Atherina to avoid the girl's blow.
"I'm not hentai, I'm just a little yadong."
Atherina patted off her shoes while approaching Han Gun by brandishing her shoes, "What should I do tomorrow at school? You really.."
Han Gun ran away before Atherina caught him. "Hey! Put down your shoes when we talk!" Shouted Han Gun. Atherina continues to chase Han Gun even now with two shoes.
"You put where my face is when tomorrow they interrogate me for your behavior!" Shouting Atherina.
"Say you don't know anything!"
"After doing something nice, you don't want to take responsibility, huh!"
"Why should I be responsible to you? I did nothing to you!"
"Damn it! Comehere you! I'll finish you off!"
Han Jin who was standing in front of the door smiled amusedly hearing the two people younger than him were fighting like a child.
"Dogs and cats can turn into wolves and tigers on missions."
The man looked sad, "Wish I could see them. I want to see their expressions when fighting like that. I want to be in the middle of them." After saying that, Han Jin passed by.

Ucu Irna Marhamah's
