Prologue

You, Lee Y/N, works for Kim 'Enterprises'. From the name of the company, people would expect an enterprise company kind-of-thing. But if you dig deeper, it's way more than that.

Kim Enterprises is actually an agent company. They train agents and prepare them to fight for a rival company, Lee 'Enterprises'.

Lee enterprises is also an agent company.

In the eyes of a civilian, those two companies are just... companies. Both companies have different sides of stories. Of course, both companies think that their stories are correct.

You joined Kim Enterprises because your parents were once Kim Agents. They died trying to save other agents from the ticking bomb. The mission was a trap, and your parents, being the aces, knew that it indeed was a trap.

However, they continued.

Unfortunately, they couldn't get out of the building before the bomb went off. But on the bright side, they saved the rest of the agents.

Your parents were the aces of the company. And they stayed as legends.

Well, who wouldn't stay as legends when they saved the whole Kim Enterprises?

But now that they are legends, people expect you to be like them.

To be an ace.

To be a legend.

It's a lot of burdens if you ask me.

Trust me, people wouldn't want to be like you.

Other agents think that you earned the title 'ace' just because you were favoured and a descendant of aces.

But fuck them and their judging stares, you trained your whole life to become this.

To become a top agent.

They think that the trainers went easy on you, but they didn't. They were quite the opposite, actually.

The trainers knew that you were the daughter of the legends, so, they trained you hardcore.

They trained you so that you could be like them.

You were forced to become an ace.

But at the same time, you weren't. You also wanted to fulfil their position, and you did.

The only thing that bothers me, is that... They think that I became an ace because of their judgemental opinions. They think you're weak because you wanted to become an ace because of them.

But no.

They're wrong.

You became an ace because of your own will. You became an ace because you wanted to become like them, not because people wanted you to become like them.

You became you because you wanted to.

But

She happened...

Irene Bae happened.

She just waltzes into my life, cues the bulldozer to wreck my goddamn image and made me a softball just like that. A softball for her.

I don't even know if I love it or hate it. But she wrecked my life. She moulded my life in any shape she wanted it to be.

I love it, but I hate it.

I hate it, but I love it.

But the real question is...

Do I love her or do I hate her?
