EXO Undercover

“Ah!” June walked right into another boy. As she was making her way out of her house, which was incredibly huge, another boy was making his way in. This one, unlike the others, she knew personally.

“Ah!” Xiumin was startled as well. June?

“Ah!” Chanyeol yelled with them, “Why are we yelling?”

“Xiumin!” June grinned, “You scared me!”

“June! Long time no see! I haven’t seen you in a while. How are you?” She’s grown to be very pretty now.

“I’m good! Xiumin-oppa, do you live here, too?”

“Yep. Why are you here-“

“Oppa?” Chanyeol but in, “Oppa? Oppa? You guys know each other? Xiumin, have you finally decided to date someone? It took you long enough-”

“I’ll tell you whatever you want to know,” Xiumin firmly patted Chanyeol’s shoulder, “but June and I have a lot of catching up to do so I’ll tell you later.” He faced June and winked. “It’s nice to see you again. I’ll drive you home.”

“Remember! Be safe!” shouted Mr Song and Mrs Song, who appeared in time to see the two drive down the smooth driveway in one of their many cars.

“I like her,” Mr Song commented, “I think she’ll be a better addition to this household than the other one.”

“That goes without saying,” Ms Song agreed, looking into the sunset, her arms wrapped around her husband’s and her head in his chest.

“Should I leave the door open or do you want to come back inside?” asked Chanyeol, hands on the doorknobs.

“Excuse us, Chan,” Mr. Song whispered, “but your mother and I are having a romantic moment here.”

“Oh! Okay then. Uh, I’ll just, uh, just be in the, uh, kitchen. Don’t mind me.”



“Honey,” Mr Song said as he massaged his wife’s foot on a satin pillow, “what questions did June answer well?” The couple were sitting in the bare living room on the white couch. All of their ‘children’ were- or in their case should- be sleeping in their rooms. However, Chanyeol and Baekhyun were crouching, sneakily tiptoeing from one side of the second floor to the other side, careful not to gain their parents’ attention.

“She proved that she was innocent and hard-working. I hacked into her accounts and found no connection with the other spy agencies. Nothing suspicious, which is a bit suspicious.”

“Impressive, considering you only spent three or so minutes alone with her,” Mr Song cocked his head to the side, “Wait a second, before you mentioned that she needed money for her father. What do you mean by that?”

“June’s widowed father is unconscious in the hospital. You know, the one Agent Vivi is at. Anyway, her father’s life will be on the line if she doesn’t work hard enough to pay the bills. I’m thinking of giving her a room here to stay in.”

“Why?”

“She transferred to a cheap goshiwon. I tracked her down using her handphone. If she helps clean the house, we should help with something, too.”

“Not many people know it but deep down, honey, you’re really sweet.” Mr Song pinched his wife’s cheek and giggled. “Deep, deep, deep, deep down.” Ms Song smacked Mr Song’s hands away and said, “Don’t do that. You were literally just touching my feet.”

She’s going to be staying here? Chanyeol wondered to himself as he and Baekhyun crept from Kyungsoo’s and Kai’s bedroom to theirs. Widowed father in the hospital? June seems so pitiful now. Is it wrong that I pity her? I wonder if I could help her out somehow-

“Arg, really? Kids these days!" Ms Song grabbed her sharp hairpin from her hair and threw it to where they were on the second floor. It struck a part of the wall- *TWANG*- that was a few centimetres in front of Chanyeol’s shocked face. Baekhyun, who almost bumped into Chanyeol’s butt, looked down to where their parents were. Oh poop, he thought, we were so close! "Baekhyun! Chanyeol!”

“Boys, you should know that your mother was the nine-tailed fox in her past life. She’s as sharp as that hairpin. I remember one time we went on a mission and she almost killed our entire team-”

She patted her husband’s lap before leaving him alone on the couch. “Joongki. Not now.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Mr Song saluted to her and giggled again. “Have fun, boys!”

“Ugh. I didn't sign up for this. Both of you!” Ms Song shouted as she stomped up the stairs, “On your knees! Fists in the air! Don’t you dare try to run off!”



“Kyungsoo! Look!” Chanyeol nudged him, “she’s our new maid! Let’s go talk to her!” The two boys were walking down the street. To conceal their identities, all twelve boys were assigned different schools and colleges. Chanyeol and Kyungsoo were lucky enough to go to the same one. June, just a few meters away, was walking by herself with her earphones in her ears. Other students passed her, not wanting to engage in any conversation with the quiet, lonely girl.

“I’ll pass,” Kyungsoo replied, still staring at her small figure ahead of them. He continued to munch on his plain biscuit.

“I didn’t ask for your opinion. Let’s go!” Chanyeol pushed Kyungsoo and they soon found themselves bumping into her.

“Oh my gosh!” June mumbled, stumbling over. She turned around, took her earphones off, and, after realising who it was, bowed her head to the two boys. “Good morning.” After the exchanged polite greetings, she turned back around and continued walking alone. How rude. Especially the tall one. They should watch where they’re going.

“Let’s walk together!” Chanyeol yelled after her, still dragging Kyungsoo along, “It’s the first week of the new school year so we should make new friendships!”

“It’s the third week, Chanyeol,” Kyungsoo muttered, slightly embarrassed.

“Close enough. Hello! My name is Chanyeol! He’s Kyungsoo! You’ll be working and staying with us today! Our mom said so!”

“Staying?” June asked, “at that place?” Well, now that I think about it, it might not be that bad thing to stay with a bunch of hot guys. But, will I be the only girl there? Where is the privacy? Will there be those cliche TV moments when I see one in a bathrobe or will they see me in a-

“What did you just say?” Kyungsoo questioned. He, too, was shocked.

“Last night, after Baek, Kai, Kyungsoo, and I played computer games together, Baekhyun and-”

“It was just you guys,” murmured Kyungsoo, fiddling with his scarf tassles.

“- I overheard Mom talking about letting you stay at our place because you live in a cheap go-Shinwon or something. Actually, I remember looking it up. It’s a super cramped bedroom for a house with only one bed. Well, you probably only have a water-boiler so I guess you're living off of ramen. Also, she also talked about your father being widowed and in the hospital and-” Chanyeol snapped out of his thoughts.

“She’s gone,” Kyungsoo elbowed Chanyeol in the ribs, “this is why girls leave you. You talk too much.”

“Nah, that’s not it,” Chanyeol laughed as he pointed to his wristwatch, “it’s because school started three minutes ago.”

“Three minutes ago? We’re late!”

“Forget school! We could probably trick Lay to hack into the school records to get a perfect attendance and get straight A’s! Not Xiumin though. Xiu would beat us up. Not Chen either. Chen would definitely blackmail us to make us do whatever he wants. Tao, on the other hand, would-” Chanyeol looked around, stared at Kyungsoo dashing away and sighed, “Why does this always happen to me?”
