Chapter 19 - One-sided Love

[POV: - MOON]

Seventeen said to me in sign language, "We have to leave now. Chai and Nart might have completed their work." I gestured with a thumbs-up. And we guys moved away from that place to directly out of the mansion. We were to climb the ropes that we tied on walls to jump over here. 

#THUD! 

"Are you guys okay?" Chai approached us. 

"You can see. We are wholly fine, Chai." Pim said. 

We rushed into the caravan. I removed my mask and gloves. I was dead heated! I looked around with my weary eyes. All were busy removing their tight clothes. Shh! Don't see them, Moon? You pervert! 

"Guys. You all did a good job! I'm really proud of you all!" Taeng said so enthusiastically. Even though she did a good job, it was so tough. Though we did it finally. I stretched my hands upwards and stood up straight. 

Haiz, I'm weary… I wanna sleep. 

I walked to the bedside and fell on it straight. Ha~ it's so soft. I loved it. 

Suddenly a big hand grabbed my waist. A-aah! Who's that? Before I could even see the person I was carrying on someone's shoulder. My head was near that person's waist. I twisted up and rounded my hands around his neck. 

"Excuse me, who's this carrying me strangely?" 

As the person turned his face towards mine. I was so surprised cuz it was none but Nart! He was feeling so proud of himself. But why so? 

"Nart?? Why the hell you–aah!" 

He abruptly pulled me down into his arms. My hands were around his neck and I was surprisingly looking at him. For the first time, I noticed that his eyes were blue and had absolutely light orange lips. Aesthetic and soft two-block haircut. He looked into my eyes and winked leaving a short smile at the edge of his lips.

"Nart. Leave me down! Where are you carrying me?!" 

"Shhhhh! I'll let you know soon, Agent Moon." He whispered with a smirk on his face. With a raised brow, I just looked at him and turned around. 

"Oh my goodness!" I screamed in surprise. There were balloons over the roof of the caravan and red heart ribbons. A cake was on the dining table and I found my name over there. 

Nart dropped me down. With hands covering my mouth I walked near the table with small steps and couldn't believe that they all still remember my birthday! Wait. What? My birthday? Is it today…?

"Is it my birthday today?" I asked with a question mark on my dumped face. They all suddenly gave me narrowed looks and stood up straight with criss-cross hands. I guess… It's my birthday today. 

"You really FORGOT YOUR BIRTHDAY, MOON!" 

Goddamn, now they all sound like Yeran. Even she screams the same way as them. I closed my eyes and ears but then I opened them when I felt the presence of a hand on my left shoulder. I turned around. 

"Nart?" You're the same…? One who always carries me on his shoulder and then suddenly into his arms. That smirk on his face does always give butterflies in my stomach. Though he teases me, I still like to be a good one with him. We should be good crime partners in the future. Lol, I'm gonna be a criminal in the future, huh? Haha! Fine, I believed it. 

I was lost in my thoughts and didn't recognize that I'm looking into someone's eyes. 

"Oh my~ someone got into someone so deeply~ haha!" 

Huh? What? And then I realised that I was so into Nart's blue eyes. I blushed out as Pim Bunnag said. 

"Pim, stop your nonsense!" I said. 

"Oh my God, see someone is even turning red~ oh my, oh my!" 

Now stop teasing me, Pim! I gave him a pointed look and immediately he shut down his mouth with a finger on his lips. 

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Agent Moon. I'm gonna zip up my mouth now." 

I smiled. But then I realized that for the past few hours, I didn't notice Taeng. I looked here and there but she's like disappeared. No way, I'm not gonna cut the cake without her. 

"Guys, where is Taeng?" 

I asked while glancing at all corners of the caravan. But I couldn't trace her presence. All were just looking at each other's faces blankly. One of our members is missing and you guys don't even have a sense of it, huh?! Idiots! 

"Does anyone know where she is?" 

I questioned rigidly. With narrow brows. Glaring at all of them, eventually. 

"Yea… even I didn't catch sight of Taeng. Where must she be right now?" 

Seventeen said scratching his head. We decided to separate in directions to find the trace of Taeng's presence. I was out of the caravan and it was stopped in a jungle tonight. So dark, where she must be…?
