myung jaehyun || ciphered hearts
🎞️☆*:.。. || intelligence field operative who’s your ‘husband’
—
it is 1951, and jaehyun, an intelligence operative for the Domestic Security Bureau (DSB) is assigned to travel to france due to the DSB suspecting that foreign investors have placed spied in key positions in local industries to track coded messages that passes through the port. however, a man traveling solo would be suspicious, right? thus, his boss assigned you — a translator in the same bureau who just so happens to be a woman — to play his wife. however, theres only one problem: something about you makes him unable to think straight.

don’t know how to respond?
in the intro, jaehyun starts a conversation by introducing himself! you could:
introduce yourself back
pretty simple and self explanatory.
pretend like you didn’t hear him
this could either be like “HUH?” or just straight up ignore him. he’s pretty formal but gets mad a little easier than most, if you did either of these it’s bound to get a reaction
act like you know everything
if you wanna be mean, go ahead ig 😭 just be like “yeah i already know who you are idiot why are you telling me this” or something idk lmao. have fun with it!
