decoded (707 x reader, part ii)

rating: 13+ (au, later chapters will have spoilers for 707 route as well as secret ends)

notes: uh, so i started this fic a year ago. oops. i’m sure people have long forgotten... chapter two has actually been mostly done for a while, i just hadn’t gotten around to finish it... /coughs

i hope it’s alright. it’s been a while so i’m more unsure than usual about seven... and this mc... well, she’s pretty capable as long as she isn’t looking directly at seven’s handsome face LOLOLOL

chapter 1 | chapter 2 |

“Oh, hey!”

The sound of Yoosung’s voice causes you to freeze. He’d ditched class earlier this week, so it’s the first time you’ve seen him since the RFA party. Slowly, you turn to face him, an easy grin on your face. You’re fairly sure he doesn’t know you were there, and you hope to keep it that way. “What’s up, Yoosung?”

The blond haired boy hurries over so that you’re standing side by side. Once he catches up, you keep walking in the direction of your dorm. “Not much really.”

“I didn’t see you in class on Monday… were you sick…?” you ask.

“Ah, no, I was really tired so I didn’t go…”

“Were you up late playing LOLOL again?”

He laughs nervously. There’s no doubt in your mind that you’ve hit the nail on the head, though it’s also Yoosung and he’s not all that hard to figure out. You give him a reprimanding look and he pouts at you, offering his excuse, “I...I had a really busy weekend! I didn’t have time to play at all.”

The RFA party was this past weekend so it makes sense. It was a pretty big event and Yoosung was probably busy helping organize the entire thing. Your thoughts drift to that red haired RFA member. There’s no denying that that guy knew something about 707, but despite your best efforts you weren’t able to find him again at the party. You did try visiting the RFA’s website to see if you could find a list of their members, but there was none, and hacking into their website yielded absolutely no results.

Of course, you could just ask Yoosung. Surely, he knew that guy since they were members of the same organization. However, if you asked him, you’d also be essentially telling him that you were at the party which would lead to you having to tell him why you were there. You’re not ready to admit that you’ve been moonlighting as a hacker just yet.

“Did I miss anything in class?” Yoosung’s voice snaps you back to reality.

“We have a test on Monday.”

“Whaaaat?” he whines, slumping his shoulders. “Already? That’s just a couple days from now!”

You nod and open your mouth to suggest studying together, but stop yourself before the words come out. The last time the both of you ‘studied’ together, you both just ended up playing LOLOL for a couple hours. Needless to say neither of you got very good grades on that test and as much as you do like playing LOLOL, you would prefer to get something above D- on this next one.

The next couple minutes are spent in silence. You can tell that Yoosung is sulking, at least he is until his phone starts beeping. He checks it and his mood does a complete one-eighty. Must have been LOLOL related.

“Hey, hey hey!” he begins to speed up, bouncing up and down as he goes. “That was my guild leader and apparently there’s an event starting in a little bit! ”

“Oh?” You move to match Yoosung’s pace.

“Yeah! We gotta hurry!”

He breaks out into a run and you follow after, not wanting to be left behind. It only takes the both of you more couple minutes to reach the dorm, and by the time you get to your room, you’re a little out of breath.

“Are you gonna hop on too?” Yoosung asks excitedly.

“Um. Maybe.” The truth is that there is supposed to be a Hackers Chasing Hackers meeting within the next hour or so. You haven’t really checked anything on LOLOL for the past few days, so you don’t know much about the event… It probably wouldn’t take too long to do, but you also don’t want to miss the meeting.

He tilts his head to the side. “It’s a special event though!”

“I have stuff to do. For school,” you offer as an elaboration. “But you better get going, especially if you wanna be ‘world first.’”

“Oh! You’re right!” He turns on his heel and gives you a quick wave before heading off. “Wish me luck!”

You’re able to squeeze in a quick goodbye before he zooms off to his room. Once he’s out of sight, you duck into your room. You pull your laptop out of your bag and place it on your desk. It would be nice to have a desktop setup at the dorm, but your laptop suits you just fine for the time being. You turn it on and grab a quick snack while it boots up. When it’s done you sign into your computer and put on your headset and munch on your snack while waiting for your computer to finish starting up.

As soon as you log onto the server, you see that a bunch of your fellow hackers are already chatting. Most of them are discussing the meeting you’re supposed to be having soon. It’ll probably be about the party since Code GAGA hasn’t called a meeting since then. You briefly consider skipping out on the meeting, or at least the first part of it so you can do that event in LOLOL since you already know that you weren’t able to find 707 at the party. In the end, however, you decide to stay, figuring there will probably be more to the meeting, like status reports and group assignments for any new projects. You notice Code GAGA log in and all of the chatting in the server immediately ceases. The screen shows that he’s typing and he posts for everyone to get into voice channel. You immediately do as he says, making sure to mute yourself as soon as you get on. Then, once most everyone is in voice chat, Code GAGA finally speaks, “Hello everyone. I’m sure you’re all eager to hear the results of our infiltration of the RFA party this past Sunday.”

He pauses for a moment before he continues, “We’d received information that 707 was to be at this party, however it turns out that it was just a false lease.”

You, of course, think that it wasn’t ‘just a false lead’ but without any concrete evidence… Grumbling, you lean over your desk, waiting to see what else he has to say.

“Of course, we won’t let this deter us from finding 707,” he continues. “And speaking of 707, I’ve analyzed the previous methods we used in our attempts to hack his system and I believe I’ve finally found an effective method to get in.”

This causes you to perk up a little. Admittedly, you’re a little excited at the thought that maybe, just maybe this time you guys can beat him… But more than anything you’re nervous, especially when you’ve got a bad feeling about this. You almost type out that you think it’s a bad idea, but the other hackers are flooding the chat server, saying that you should try this new method out. Slowly, you lower your hands. Even if you said something, it’d get lost in the sea of messages.

“I guess we’re all in agreement then,” Code GAGA chuckles, sounding almost smug. “We’ll begin tonight. I shouldn’t need to tell you what time. I’ll let everyone on the hacking team the details an hour before we start.”

Then he logs out.

Everyone starts chatting excitedly about how they think they’ll be able to get 707 this time. But despite your bad feeling, you remain silent. After thinking on it, you don’t think that it’s going to be as Code GAGA seems to think. You highly doubt that you’re going to be on the team, especially since the RFA party infiltration mission was a bust. It’d be better to work on school work than to wait to see if you get that email. One of your professors did assign a rather lengthy essay, and you want to try and get started on that as soon as possible.

At least that’s what you try to do until you get a message from one of the other hackers in the group. The both of you joined around the same time, so you became friends pretty quickly. You’ve even chatted and played games with her on occasion.

meenmeen: hey. aren’t u gonna get on?

me: huh? why?

meenmeen: silly. ur on tonight’s hacking team.

Surprised, you quickly check your Hackers Chasing Hackers email and find that you did indeed get the briefing email. Luckily, there’s still a half hour before the operation so you still have time to prepare.

me: Shit. i didn’t even notice.

meenmeen: np! I told them ur prolly working on school work which is why i messaged u here lol

me:Thanks Minji! Tell them I’ll be on in a minute.

meenmeen: o7

You log into the server and see that most of the other people who are on tonight’s hacking teams are also logged in. Immediately, you apologize for your absence and tell them that you had been engulfed in your school work. Since your reasoning is valid you’re forgiven fairly quickly, and a few members even ask if you want to sit out and have someone else take your place. However, you tell them that it’s fine and that you needed a break from the essay anyway. You spend the rest of the time looking over the email and the methods that Code GAGA wants the team to use for this operation.

From the looks of it, each member will start with a different method and change methods a few times throughout. Each person received a different list of methods to go through and each person is set to change methods at different intervals… The intent is to overwhelm 707 by throwing a bunch of different attacks at him. It seem like a good idea, and it probably would work against your average hacker, but…

Out of the corner of your eye you notice that you have one minute left before the operation begins. With a deep breath, you crack your knuckles and get ready to get to work.

“Hm?”

Noticing something seems a little off, Seven turns to examine one of his computer monitors. After a moment, a slight grin spreads across his face. “...Oho~ What’s this…?”

He turns his full attention to the screen. From the looks of it, his system is being attacked by roughly twenty different sources. Seven scoffs a tiny bit. It’s obvious that it’s Hackers Chasing Hackers picking yet another fight… To be honest, he was expecting they’d pull something like this soon. They probably weren’t too pleased that he managed to slip through their fingers again…

Seven’s thoughts drift to the girl that he met at the party who said she was part of the group. It had been a lot of fun teasing her. Is she part of the team that’s trying to hack him? Before he knows it, he’s already starting to check.

Whoever’s in charge of this attack is having the hackers change methods every so often, which is a smart move, but it leaves them a little defenseless. It takes him a couple minutes, but he goes through and checks the source of each attack. If they aren’t in Korea, he moves on, and if they are, he probes even further. Eventually, Seven finds one that happens to be situated very close to Yoosung’s college. Eventually Seven finds one that happens to be situated very close to Yoosung’s college. The thought of Yoosung causes something to click in Seven’s head. When he first saw that girl, she had been staring at Yoosung, making it obvious that they knew one another. He’s able to pull up a name, and though she never gave it to him, it’s easy enough to check if they’re the same person thanks to social media.

He grins.

It is her.

Seven swivels his chair a little, “...I guess I can play with them a little…”

He spins a few times before he stops right before his keyboard and begins hacking away at his keyboard. One by one, he takes down each hacker. Since each one is distracted, it’s even easier than normal. Though, by the fifth one, it starts to get a little harder. They’re probably telling each other that he’s retaliating and focusing less on attacking and more on defending.

Though that won’t help them much.

Eventually he’s left with just the leader and the girl. Seven debates for a minute who to take down first, then he decides to go for the leader. He puts up a good fight for a moment before he goes down, leaving just her. She doesn’t fall as easily as he expected, mostly because she uses a different method that the other hackers didn’t use to evade him.

“Not bad… not bad...” he murmurs, obviously enjoying himself. “But not good enough~”

“Dammit!”

You slam your fists down on your desk. Of course you knew that there was no way you could evade the great 707 himself, but to be shut down is so damn frustrating especially since he seemed to be toying with everyone today.

One of the other hackers quietly says over the voice channel, “...guess that’s a failure….”

There’s a murmur of agreement amongst everyone else, then, someone exclaims, “What’s going on?!”

You look up at your computer screen and instantly realize that it’s being controlled remotely. The desperate screams of your colleagues echo in your ears as you helplessly watch him install… something onto your laptop. Your heart freezes when the sound is suddenly cut off and the screen turns black, but the power is still on… e didn’t remotely fry the motherboard did he…? Shakily, you reach out for the power button, but just as you’re about to press it, the screen flickers back to life and your computer boots up like normal.

You’re about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then you see the log on screen. It must be what 707 installed. On the screen there’s a message from him.

Have fun hacking back in~

Perplexed, you stare at the screen for a moment before you try to get back into your computer, but it’s no good at all, nothing you do on your computer is working. You check your phone to find that 707 has installed this little ‘gift’ on every Hackers Chasing Hackers computer.

You groan, it’s going to take at least one whole night to get back into your computer.

Guess you’re not going to get back to that essay tonight.
