Chapter 7
"I was lucky last night. I think the syndicate we are looking for is conducting transactions in this old terminal. This is the plate number of their vehicles. I clearly got it. I did not follow them because they would notice me. Around midnight those vehicles came out of the old bus terminal."
As Clear speaks he slides the pictures into the large touchscreen monitor next to him. Everyone was staring at him intently as they listened to his words. Archie stood up and the Junior Agent greeted him.
"Yes?" he asked.
"I already checked the plate number of the vehicles you got, Sir. They are fake. Neither of them, no one matched the registered plate numbers."
"In that case, this is the affirmative of the group we are looking for." he said.
He looked at Ervine and Siege.
"What now?" he asked.
"We still need further investigation. Faust and Gael will do it then. They will help you with the spy but anyway, what is that pink lipstick on your lips? "Ervine asked.
Clear was stunned and he could not touch his lips. Dead! He forgot to wipe his mouth! He broke it now.
"A-Ahm... What pink lipstick? Maybe it was just a stain of ketchup with the burger I ate earlier." he excused himself.
"You bastard! Don't round me up. I know the lipstick scratches on the lips of a man who kissed a woman. I'm the one you're going to fool eh I’m a married man. Explain." Ervine smiled mischievously.
After that he grabbed his gun strapped to his waist and aimed it at Clear. Clear was stunned and shock.
"Gin, handcuff Clear and bring him here in the middle." Ervine ordered.
"Okay!"
Gin stood up and immediately approached Clear. He really handcuff him.
"Wait, is this serious?!"
"Probably." Gin laughed.
Clear was seated in a chair in the middle of the room.
"Velvet, interrogate!" Siege commanded mischievously.
"Yes, Sir! In such cases, Me-the Doctor Love is the name!" Velvet's arrogant language.
He took a seat and placed it in front of Clear. He sat there and faced him with cross legs. Clear was surrounded by his comrades along with the Junior Agents. Velvet simply grabbed his chin and smiled looking at Clear’s face.
"Preliminary question, Mr. Loverboy... Why are your lips stained with pink-lipstick, huh?"
Clear smirked and annoyed looking at everyone's face.
"It's not lipstick, I said." His denial.
"Woooh! I guess Clear has given up! I'm sorry to say that he's a gay, friends!" Velvet suddenly shouted.
Everyone laughed and teased looking at the young man. Velvet walked away as if he had an infectious virus in his body. Clear got irritated.
"Damn it! I'm not a gay! Okay, fine! I kissed Bloom!" forced language by Clear.
"Uy! Where, when, and how?!" Venom asked one after another.
"Geeez! Is that included?!" Clear said in annoyance.
Siege folded his arms.
"If you do not speak, I will replace Velvet in your mission." he said.
Clear frowned in horror. He really had no choice but to answer. He took a deep breath. Why did he forget to wipe his lips? Bloom's lipstick was left there. He suddenly smiled and shuddered at the thought.
"HOY!" Velvet shouted loudly.
He frowned again as he remembered where he was. He was slightly shaken.
"What happened was that Gida simply do such thing... He sent Bloom to our house to talk to Cassey about her upcoming birthday. Then, Bloom found out that I was not a real taxi-driver... Bloom was angry with me. Very angry. She told me 'I hate you' many times. I was stunned, so I did kiss her as a punishment."
Then Clear suddenly smiled like crazy.
"And what else? You've been rejected?" Velvet asked.
He looked bad at Velvet. It's because his grin is foolish when he says the word 'rejected'.
"Do I look rejected?! In fact, even though she is disgusted and angry with me... She said, I was a good kisser. Geeez! My jaw literally dropped when I heard that. My heart, suddenly jumped for joy. And take note, her kiss gave me luck for my assignment. "Clear said with a smile.
He was proud to tell that to his friends. The big impact was on his ego. Amazed that his mad friends looked at him.
"Y-You were told that?!" dull language of Velvet.
"Yeah. Ask her if you like." Clear's arrogant answer.
Annoyed, Velvet stood up and scratched his head.
"Unusual! Unfair! I’ve already kiss a lot of girls and no one have ever been told that! Tsk!" its language seems frustrating.
They laughed at it. Gin released him and he stood up.
"What is the technique?" Chase asked curiously.
He looked at it.
"Secret! Learn to be a good kisser too."
"Secretive!" simultaneous language of all.
Clear just laughed. He really has no secrets. Just, he just kissed Bloom because he wanted it. He just pretended to be himself and he felt it.
Tomorrow...
"AAaaaaw!"
Bloom roared like that when Gida removed the ingrown from her nail.
"Gay, take it easy! It hurts! You’d grinding my toenails." she complained.
The edge of her nail bled. She must have been lame to walk later.
"It's good for you. I've been talking before, you didn't listen. I told you that I didn't go with you yesterday because I was baby-sitting my nephews and I had to change their diapers. Aren’t you listening to me?!" Gida complained.
Guilty, she looked at his friend's face. She was stupid last night. She punished Gida to manicure her toenails. That's because it doesn't say anything about Clear's true identity. This is the only penalty she gave because it also opened the man up.
"I'm sorry. I slept a little late last night because I’m working on Cassey’s dress."
"Working huh... Maybe someone didn't put you to sleep?"
She frowned at her friend's face. Her cheeks warmed.
"What do you mean?"
Gida smiled foolishly at her.
"Something happened to you and Clear yesterday, right?" suddenly its language.
"N-Nothing ah." she answered quickly.
"Gay, you can't lie to me because I can clearly see the blushing of your cheeks as well as your nose. What happened after you found out?"
"I did fight him..." she answered hesitantly.
"And...?"
She looked at her friend angrily. She will not tell here the full details even though her majestic gay is her best-friend. It will just tease her with Clear and she will only be defeated by it all day. She closed her mouth.
"I'll murder your nails when you don't speak." Gida’s threat.
"All right, I'll sue you." she answered boldly.
She widened her eyes at it. But, the crazy did the same to her and they both measured their gaze. Their gaze stopped sharply as the shop door opened. They both turned their attention to the newcomer.
"Hello, Guys!"
Clear smiled at them and brought a large paper bag. He frowned and looked at the two of them carefully.
"Is there a problem?" he asked innoccently.
Gida first recovered from the shock. It stood up and adjusted itself. Fortunately, it has not yet applied nail-polish to her nails. If not, it will definitely not going to finish it.
"Ah, no problem. Bloom and I were just fighting because I was murdering her toenails. But anyway, do you need anything?" Gida asked Clear.
"Yes. Here, it is for you, some snacks."
"Thank you, fafa Clear!"
Excited that Gida took the paper-bag and Bloom was stunned, she was suddenly annoyed by Clear so when he looked at her, she stared him sharply. Gida has something to snack but she has nothing. She stared at Clear in annoyance. The man smiled at her despite what she had done. He turned to Gida again excitedly.
"Gida, can I ask a permission for Bloom? We'll eat outside for lunch." suddenly the young man spoke.
Gida was stunned and even she was stunned to look at man. Her gay friend frowned.
"Fine! Can I still refuse? The bribe is already here." Gida said.
Clear smiled at what it said.
"Bloom, is it okay?" Clear asked her.
She took a deep breath.
"All right. I'm not denying a free lunch."
She was already wearing her shoes but she frowned because her feet hurt. Her toenails are murdered.
"Are you okay?"
"I’m okay. Don't worry about me." She said.
The young man supports her.
"Thank you."
Clear was very kind... Until now, she could not believe that it was fooled. In fact, her first impression here was a womanizer. That is why, she was caught up in the story of his younger sister Cassey. She clung to his left arm tightly so she could walk properly. She wants to regret why she still chose the punishment for Gida. She was murdered. Clear opened the car door for her before he got into the driver's seat. As usual he was disguised again as a taxi-driver. Are agents really like this? It started the car. She looked at Clear.
"Is it hard to be an agent?" she suddenly asked.
Clear glanced at her slightly and smiled sparingly.
"Not for me. Apart from this being my previous job, I also love it. My first family members were my comrades. We grew up together and trained in the military camp of the Advance Tech Institute before."
"It's your luck because you found your family. Isn't it, some of you... Have no family at all? As in nothing... Because it's common for people like you, to be really abandoned. I'm sorry, just curious."
Clear sighed deeply.
"I was lucky. But you were wrong, I did not look for my family. They were the ones who looked for me. For all those years, I thought that my family did not care about me... But I was wrong."
Bloom did not speak. She could no longer think of a topic.
"Eh you? Did you have a boyfriend, before?" Clear suddenly asked.
She smiled at it.
"Of course."
"What happened?"
"Twisted." she answered quickly.
It frowned at her.
"The truth?"
She laughed softly.
"Okay... The truth of the matter is, Gida was my first-crush and first love. During the times when I was dead to him, I didn't know that we both wanted men and he was even more flirtatious than me because he is not the type who wears women's clothing and his fingers did not matter much before. His handsome. Think about it, I confessed my feelings to him. Then, according to... A windy truth was revealed to me. I even stole a kiss from him before. The ending then, we both vomited on each other and we almost confined ourselves to the hospital. But at least, that was the beginning of our friendship. We became closer."
Clear laughed at her story and looked at her foolishly.
"S-Seriously?" he still laughs at this question.
"Seriously." she confirmed.
"Whoa?!" shocked its react.
She laughed at Clear's reaction. When he remembered that incident with Gida, her stomach almost really hurt with laughter. But she is not ashamed that she likes a gay man. Gida is still a man and handsome. To this day, she regrets her friend. It's a pity of its beautiful genes...
