Description
Hee Jun laid awake in his bed shortly past midnight, he tried to fall asleep, but with no success, he just stared at the ceiling until his phone rang.
"Yeah?" he forced over the dry feeling at the back of his throat.
"Are you sick?" the voice asked.
Coughing and swallowing to wet his throat, he responded with a no. "Why are you calling me so early in the morning?"
"You need to round up your band and pack some things up for somewhat of a vacation."
"Vacation? Where? What's the catch?"
"You were hired to be the president's bodyguards."
"The p-president?!"
"Yes."
"Of the United States?"
"The one and only."
"Why does he need bodyguards?!"
"Because those who hired you don't want him to die?"
"No way, whatever, but okay. I'll call. When does the plane leave?"
"It leaves in about an hour."
"It's a morning flight?"
"You need to be there before the president goes to leave."
"So is it a private jet?"
"No."
There was a long pause where Hee Jun played through his head the process of the kids playing around and screaming, crying, whining, yelling, and the annoying customers that are never quite satisfied with what the flight attendants did.
"Are you trying to be funny?" he sobbed.
"No. Do I sound like someone who wants to be funny?"
"No, you actually seem very monotonic," Hee Jun said simply."Whyyyyy?" he whined.
"We're not rich enough to get you your own jet."
"Fine!" Hee Jun yelled and hung up.
He reopened his phone and called Woo Hyuk.
Woo Hyuk answered with a moan and an aggrivated "What?"
"You two busy?"
"Somewhat," Woo Hyuk said with a delay in response. "What do you want?"
"We need to pack for a trip to the United States."
"Are you serious?" he groaned again.
"Are you in pain, Woo Hyuk?"
"No," Woo Hyuk answered quickly. "Are we really going to the US?"
"Mhm, get Tony and be ready to go at my house in half an hour."
"Alright, half an hour is more than enough time."
Hee Jun shook his head and hung up, he called Jae Won who answered gracefully.
"Yes?"
"Be ready and packed for a trip to the US at my house in twenty-five minutes."
"Okay?"
"Okay...?"
"Why?"
"We have a mission!"
"Oh, alright. I'll be there soon!" Jae Won hung up.
Hee Jun looked at his phone weird, trying to grasp the possibility that someone actually hung up first and it wasn't him.
After he made his phone calls, he turned over onto his stomach and poked Kangta's cheek.
"Wake up," he whispered. "We have a job to do."
Kangta groaned and turned away from Hee Jun.
"We're going on vacation?" Hee Jun tried again.
The speed Kangta sat up was incredible and Hee Jun started laughing to himself.
"What? Where?"
"The US."
"....why are we going there?"
"Because it's nice and um. We'll have rights?"
"If we go there legally," Kangta corrected. "Are we sneaking in?"
"No, we're getting passports and everything. We're going to protect the president first, too."
"Oh boy, do we have to talk to him?" Kangta frowned.
"Not directly, we're going to have an interpreter."
"Good, I hear Bush is an idiot?"
"Only in english."
Kangta rolled his eyes and picked his clothes up, putting them in a suitcase, looking at Hee Jun. "I need to go get some of my own stuff to bring."
"That's fine, we'll go to your room in a minute," Hee Jun got out of bed and went to get ready to leave.
"Hee Jun, you confuse me sometimes."
"Why?"
"Those ponies are so last week."
Woo Hyuk knocked on the door once and waited for the noises inside to stop before he knocked again.
"Hey guys, can you let us in now? We're dead tired and we're awake at 1:30."
"Hold on," Hee Jun called, stumbling to get to the front door. He opened it and Woo Hyuk and Tony walked in.
"What were you two busy doing in here?" Woo Hyuk chuckled.
"Kangta was packing," Hee Jun insisted and looked around outside for Jae Won.
"Sure he was," Tony sat down on the couch. "So what do we need to do this so early for?"
"We need to get there apparently before the President goes to leave. But I don't know why the President needs people like us to be his body guards."
"Body guards for the President of the United States?"
Hee Jun nodded and handed Woo Hyuk and Tony their passports and each a work visa. "I don't know where they came from so don't ask."
"What if these are faulty visa or passports?" Tony looked at his carefully. "And I like how we can be illegal aliens if we lived there for awhile..." his voice trailed off.
"Poor baby," Woo Hyuk sang.
"Jae Won is coming," Kangta said as he came out of the bedroom with a suitcase as big as he was.
"How long do you think we're going to be there?!" Hee Jun gasped.
Kangta shrugged. "However long it takes. Might be there for awhile depending on the situation for the President."
Hee Jun sighed and opened the door before Jae Won could knock.
"If everyone is ready then we should get going."
"Only if Jae Won doesn't drive," Kangta smiled innocently.
"Yeah, yeah," Jae Won rolled his eyes.
"I'll drive," Woo Hyuk offered.
"Noooo!" Tony frowned, clinging himself to Woo Hyuk.
"It's decided," Hee Jun spoke above his normal volume. "I will drive."
With everyone loaded into the car that fit five and their luggage, it was a little on the cramped side, but they managed and Hee Jun was only asked "Are we there yet?" twelve times the entire duration of the ride.
"Where's the airport compared to us now?" Tony asked again.
"Here."
"Where's the airport compared to us now?" he let his head fall to the back of his seat and he began to drift off.
"Here," Hee Jun sighed, wishing he was closer to the airport and that they were walking in instead of driving up to pay for parking.
"Where's the airport?"
"We're here," Hee Jun finally smiled with glee and was the first to jump out of the car and he then ran towards the building. "Freedom!" he shouted.
Kangta looked at him weird, but nonetheless still followed quickly behind.
Woo Hyuk and Tony skipped their ways into the airport after Kangta, holding hands.
And finally, Jae Won wandered over, after the rest of them managed to find their ways, in which was a little depressing because he didn't want to go on a seventeen hour direct flight with them into Washington DC.
They were all on the plane, Kangta next to Hee Jun, in the next column of rows was Woo Hyuk and Tony, and in front of Tony was Jae Won.
Hee Jun had managed to fall asleep but a kid ended up kicking his chair nonstop, trying to stay awake. The kid was so frustrating that Hee Jun curled over against the window and cried as he looked out at the ocean. "I want to be a mermaid," he told Kangta.
"What?"
"I want to be a merman," he corrected.
"Oh, why?"
"Because there are no kids kicking at the back of my seat," he sobbed.
--
"I spy something blue," Tony said.
"That guy's shirt," Woo Hyuk sighed.
"Right again."
"It's the same shirt," he mumbled to himself then found something for Tony to use. "I spy something red."
"That guy's shirt?" he pointed.
"No," Woo Hyuk laughed. "Jae Won's blood."
"What?!" Tony stood up and looked over Jae Won's chair at Jae Won. Seeing it was a false alarm, he sat back down and slapped Woo Hyuk. "That was not nice!"
Woo Hyuk was still in a laughing fit, he knew Tony cared too much about Jae Won to find out he was hurting himself.
"Shut up," Tony hissed. "I might want to break up with you if you don't!"
That stopped the laugher immediately, but that doesn't mean he still wasn't laughing on the inside. "I'm sorry, Tony, you know I didn't mean it."
"Yeah right, I know you did."
"Don't hate me for it," he whispered into Tony's ear and then kissed his neck quickly. "It's hard to keep myself away from you," he muttered when he was sitting regularly in his seat again.
"I know what you mean."
"I'd suggest we go into the bathroom but I think that'll raise suspicion and we both won't fit."
Tony looked at him. "We're super heroes, we can get it to work," he grinned.
"Nah, I'd rather go to sleep and do it better later," Woo Hyuk held Tony's hand in his and smiled at the man next to him.
"If you insist," Tony leaned back in his seat and tried to fall asleep.
Woo Hyuk kissed Tony's forehead and went to fall asleep as well.
--
Jae Won was watching the movie they were playing that was in english, dubbed over in Korean. He wasn't paying attention to what was going on at all, but was simply looking for amusement by the offtiming of the lips and the words.
How were they going to understand what was going on when they arrived? Was there an interpretter or would they just use Tony? Who knew.
Jae Won just ended up passing out from exhaustion and over thinking.
When the ride was finally over, they were relieved to find out that the slept most of the boring flight away. That is except Hee Jun who was still getting his chair constantly kicked. He let the thought of being a merman entertain him enough to distract him while he tried to fall asleep.
They got off the plane and got their luggage, only to be found by someone looking for them first.
"Hee Jun Moon?" he asked.
It took a few attempts at his name to finally get the man's attention.
"Oh! Me!" he turned around. "Yeah?"
"Come with me," the person turned and walked towards the exit.
Hee Jun watched Tony as he followed with Woo Hyuk and assumed to just follow him.
There was a limo awaiting them and they all got in, happy to be in something bigger than the car they got to the airport in. The car drove off and they were on their way to the White House.
--
"That was a fantastic ride," Hee Jun stretched as he got out.
"Mmm," Kangta agreed.
"Tony," Hee Jun looked back into the car. "Get off of Woo Hyuk. We're on a mission."
"My bad," Woo Hyuk nudged Tony off of him only to be rewarded with a glare. He quickly apologized by kissing Tony's cheek. "Later," he promised.
"I didn't know security was so light around here," Kangta mused, looking around at the scenery.
"Well, it's only this light until you get closer to the actual building..." Hee Jun turned in a circle and furrowed his eyebrows. "Shit," he mumbled, still looking as if he couldn't find something.
"What?"
"Did we forget Jae Won?"
"Oh, no, he's in the limo getting his stuff."
"Okay, good, I was scared for a moment. Come on, Jae, let's use your vision and see into the White House!"
A security guard stepped in front of Hee Jun. "I'm going to have to ask you not to have him do that."
Hee Jun turned to Tony. "What did he say?"
"Jae Won can't use his x-ray to look into the White House."
"What?! Then what good is his power?"
Tony shrugged and looked at the security guard in front of him. "Can he use it inside the building?"
He simply nodded.
"Wait...how does he know what we're saying but responds in English?"
They deeply debated over the subject silently until Jae Won finally erupted from the car and they all headed up to go through the severe security.
Woo Hyuk apparently looked to most supicious of them all so he ended up walking weird into the West Wing of the building which made Tony chuckle every time he took a step.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he snickered.
"Shut up," Woo Hyuk snapped. "Just be lucky it wasn't you."
"Oh, it happens to me quite often, I might be able to get used to it."
Woo Hyuk stopped and glared at Tony. "Now's not the time," he whispered. "We're in the White House now."
"Right, like Bush knows Korean."
Hee Jun shook his head slowly and walked into a room where he was seperated from the President by a solid glass window. He tapped on it lightly.
"Well then, this is a nice safety procaution. The body guards can't even be near the body they're guarding..."
"Mission implausible: perfectly planned, poorly executed," Kangta shrugged. "Atleast he's still in the same building."
"I'm kind of glad we're not in the same room as him," Tony muttered. "He might not be the best person to be in presence with."
Jae Won laughed and they all turned to see what he found funny. It turned out he was intent on staring right at the President and everyone knew what he was doing.
"No way, Jae Won! What are you doing to the President?!"
"I couldn't help it," he managed between guffaws. "It's just so irresistable to use it when you know how to."
Hee Jun rolled his eyes and watched the President as he walked towards the door, heading right for them. "Uh oh, here he comes."
"All in all, I think the world needs less ethics and more fire," President Bush said as he rounded the corner to some of his advisors.
The five men bowed their heads to the President who just walked right past them and turned to the man on his right. "Who are they?"
The man coughed to clear his throat. "Your 'special' bodyguards," he emphasized the "special" with his fingers.
"Oh, right, right, well, tell them to come this way."
"He wants us to follow him," Tony said.
"Then follow him," Hee Jun ushered Tony. "You're the one who knows English, so you should follow him so you can translate."
Tony just shrugged and did as he was told, not seperating himself too far from Woo Hyuk.
"Yes, as I was saying, ethics aren't going to solve anything, we need more firepower," Bush continued.
The advisors exchanged glances and frowned.
"Is that all, sir?" one asked.
Bush simply nodded and walked into the Oval Office to sit down and began to shuffle through papers, pressing a button on his phone to intercom his secretary.
"Yes, sir?" a lovely woman's voice answered.
"Uh, yes, I need someone to tell me what these people are saying," he said rather bluntly.
"Excuse me?"
"I need someone who knows Asian and English in my office immediately."
"A translator?" she asked, positive that the visitors were Korean.
"Yes, sure."
"Right away, sir," she sighed and Hee Jun couldn't help but smile as he turned to Kangta.
"They really didn't lie."
Kangta rolled his eyes. "This is only the beginning, we just got here."
Tony stepped forward and bowed his head to the President. "I speak English and...'Asian,'" he admitted, almost regretting it as soon as he did.
"Ah! Excellent! I didn't know my secretary could find someone that fast," he looked up and smiled, unaware of his previous mistake. "Could someone go get me something to drink?"
Turning to look behind himself, Tony crossed his eyes momentarily and asked.
"I'll go," Jae Won offered, glad to have an excuse to get out of the same room as the President, the person he just moments ago saw in his underwear.
"I'll go too," Woo Hyuk said. "And Tony gets to stay here," he teased.
"Cruel," he turned back to the President. "Yeah, there are two people."
"Cool, they can go find the freezer then. I, myself, don't know where it is."
"Wonderful," Tony mumbled to himself and turned back to Woo Hyuk and Jae Won. "He doesn't know where the freezer is, but you two can go find it. Jae Won should come in handy for that."
Jae Won nodded and led Woo Hyuk out of the office and stared at the walls for a moment, then went left.
"Well, don't just stand there," Bush said. "Sit down! I'm sure you had a long flight."
"We did," Tony extended his hand to the seats behind Hee Jun and Kangta and they sat down on the expensive couch as their eyes widened when they sank into the soft cushions. However, Tony remained standing.
"Aren't you going to sit down?" Hee Jun asked.
"No, I'm fine where I am."
"What did you say?" Bush asked.
"I just said I'm fine standing up," he repeated, somewhat annoyed that he'd have to do that multiple times today.
Jae Won got Woo Hyuk to the freezer in record time and before they opened it, Woo Hyuk hesitated.
"What?" Jae Won inquired.
"Some people have normal fears," he started. "I'm afraid of the walk-in freezer."
"How do you know it's a walk-in freezer?"
Woo Hyuk looked from one side of the double doors and exaggeratedly looked to the other side, leaning back slightly.
"That just means it's, um," Jae Won looked for a reassuring word. "Long," he nodded and smiled at himself. "Now come on, we need to get him his drink."
"What does he want to drink?"
Jae Won shrugged and opened the door which was proceeded with two jaws dropping.
"Brings a whole new meaning to walk-in freezer," Woo Hyuk shuddered. "This is like Hee Jun's apartment big," he frowned.
"Be brave, Woo Hyuk," Jae Won stepped forward after picking up his jaw and looked around at the myriad of alcohol, soda, water, diet water, liquid food supplement if they had such a thing, and then some. "Jesus, what does he want to drink?"
Woo Hyuk took out his phone and dialed a number, pressing the speaker to his ear.
"Yeah?"
"What does he want to drink?"
Tony glanced at the President and raised an eyebrow as he watched an electronic racecar zoom past his feet in his peripheral vision. "What do you want to drink?" he asked.
"Root Beer," he said happily as a child.
"Root Beer," he heard some rustling on Woo Hyuk's end followed by Woo Hyuk asking if there was any Root Beer.
"Okay, there's no Root Beer."
"What else do you want to drink, sir?"
"Zephyrhills water," he sighed, putting the remote to his Hotwheels car down on his desk, going back to signing papers and reading.
"He wants water," Tony translated. "Zephyrhills."
"Of course he wants the one all the way on top."
"If he didn't, then it wouldn't be such an amazing decision that he knew exactly what he wanted."
"What?"
"Nothing, nevermind," Tony shook his head. "Just hurry up."
"Yes, boss, right away, boss," Woo Hyuk saluted even though he knew Tony couldn't see it. Then he hung up.
Tony slowly shook his head and put his phone away. "Sir?"
Bush was now attempting to paint an exact replica of the Mona Lisa.
Woo Hyuk and Jae Won finally managed to achieve the bottle of water in the most difficult way they knew how: a ladder.
They were on their way back when they heard something rummaging in a room to their right and Jae Won didn't take long to catch on and he looked into the room using his x-ray vision.
"There's someone in there and they just came in from a hole in the wall."
"Like a window?"
"Yes, Woo Hyuk. Exactly like a window," he rolled his eyes and went back to looking in the room. "They're coming this way, move," he pushed Woo Hyuk just in time for the person to open the door and come out, peeking in both directions, missing both Woo Hyuk and Jae Won just standing there.
He left and walked past Jae Won who just stared at him. "He looks familiar."
"Yeah he does, almost like we worked with him before..." Woo Hyuk squinted as if it would return his memory. Then he gasped.
"What?"
"That's Kim Jong-Il!"
"North Korean chairman of the National Defence Commission?"
"The one and only," Woo Hyuk grinned, proud that he remembered. "But what is he doing breaking into the White House?"
Jae Won shrugged. "Probably for a conference with the President."
"But is the conference going to go well or is someone going to get shot?"
"Someone always gets shot."
"I dunno," Woo Hyuk mumbled. "No one got shot when we saved the Korean Embassy from a bomb on a bus."
"Yeah, Jae Joong got shot."
"What?!"
"But that wasn't during the mission."
"Oh, then it doesn't count."
"If you insist."
There was a long pause of silence before Woo Hyuk coughed and pushed Jae Won, pretty much saying "What are you waiting for? Go ahead and bring us back to the Oval Office."
They arrived and found that Jong-Il was playing cards with Bush and they were laughing as Tony was stuck sitting next to them, translating.
"Go fish," Jong-Il would say.
"Go fish," Tony repeated and Bush picked up a card.
"Do you have any sevens?" Jong-Il asked.
"Sevens?"
"Go fish," Bush snickered.
This went on for awhile and Kangta and Hee Jun just sat there, flabbergasted by what they were witnessing.
"Here," Jae Won held out the water for Bush.
He took it and immediately gasped. "It's frozen!"
"Uh, yeah, it came from the freezer."
"Then I can't drink this!"
Tony rubbed his temples in frustration of being stuck with the President for three hours more before he left and they'd be home free, well, technically that is, they had their vacation first. Their tickets for the plane ride home, afterall, were for tomorrow.
"I don't think we're going to get a vacation," Kangta sighed. "We're all going to be too tired to do anything and we're all just going to go to sleep when we're done."
"You guys came from Korea to protect the President?" Jong-Il interrupted.
"Get out of our conversation," Woo Hyuk frowned and sat down next to Tony, getting as close as he could without merging. "You're not even supposed to be in here."
"What the US security doesn't know won't hurt them," he smiled innocently.
"But you're on video now."
"There are no cameras in the Oval Office, and the cameras in the room and hallway I came here from don't record."
"What?"
"It's true," he nodded.
"What are you guys talking about?" the President asked, organizing his cards for Crazy 8's.
"Korea," Tony lied.
"I want to know!"
"No, you don't."
"Yes I do!" he whined.
Tony started to change the topic by looking directly at the President.
"What?" he asked, nervous sweat drops beginning to dampen his forehead.
"Do you ever even know what you're saying before you say it?"
"Yes. In fact, I stand by all the misstatements I've said."
Tony slowly grinned, holding back laughter and Woo Hyuk asked what happened.
"Nothing," he laughed. "It's fine."
"Fine," Woo Hyuk pouted. "What else are we protecting while we're here?" he turned to Hee Jun.
Hee Jun shrugged. "The President was the only thing we're here for, but it doesn't look like he needs much protecting," he turned to Jae Won. "What are you looking at now?"
"He's looked at Jong-Il's underwear."
Jong-Il suddenly turned, making him fall off his chair and onto the floor.
Bush looked at him, shocked. "What happened?"
"He wants to know what happened," Tony couldn't contain his laughter anymore.
"N-nothing, I just lost my balance," he got back onto his chair and crossed his legs.
"That's not going to help," Jae Won snickered, still staring directly at Jong-Il, clearly making him uncomfortable.
Hee Jun leaned into Kangta and almost started to whisper in his ear, but Kangta already knew what he wanted to know.
"Water nix," he said quietly.
"Really?"
"Dead serious."
"What the hell brought that up?"
"That's what's on his underwear," Kangta coughed and scratched his nose.
"Aw! Really? That's so cute! And North Korea's defence is practically under his control."
"Isn't it amazing?"
"Tighty whities?"
"Boxers."
"Wow."
"Let's change the topic, this is disgusting."
"There's really nothing better going on," he would started saying something else but there was a sudden slap on the desk which caused them both to jump.
"Hah, I got the jack first!"
"Slap Jack," Tony explained.
"Damn, the President's slap sounds like a gunshot," Hee Jun gripped his chest and exhaled deeply, trying not to hyperventilate himself from the shock.
"Relax," Kangta slowly rubbed his back. "Everything's okay," he cooed.
"This mission should've been easy. There was hardly anything that was supposed to happen between the time we got here and the time he left. It's brief, succinct, and yet somehow, it lacks a certain ANYBODY CARING!"
"Calm down, Hee Jun," Jae Won said. "Jong-Il cares," he continued staring, but Jong-Il got used to the feeling of someone staring at him like that.
"Just calm down, after this, we won't do anymore missions where we leave Korea, okay?"
"Good, thank you," Hee Jun sighed in relief and finally caught his breath, letting his arm drop to his side.
"I win!" the President exclaimed as the doors to his office burst open.
"Three hours went by that quickly?" Tony took out his cellphone to check the time.
"Apparently," Woo Hyuk shrugged.
"Mr. President, your jet is ready."
"Well, Mr. Jong-Il, shall we?"
Jong-Il jumped up and followed behind Bush and they were leaving to North Korea before he played some pool with them there. Apparently, the only protection that was needed, was just babysitting as Hee Jun concluded.
"Let's go to our hotel," he spoke softly. "I'm exhausted and we're going to need our rest for tomorrow's flight home with those kids again," he said, aggrivated already from the thought of putting up with those frustrating factors again."
"Okay," Kangta smiled.
And then they were off to check in at their hotel before the long flight home in the following evening.
