"I think you're right Key. Oh, I wonder why you've always been right so far. I can't stand them. I'm disgusted!" you spit out all your annoyance at your lover sitting quietly on his living room couch. It looks like he is enjoying the victory.

"People like you are hard to survive. Too kind. I told you, just pray a little to get in their circle and destroy from the inside. Your heart is that clean" he said lightly and smiled mockingly.

"Sometimes I wonder if you're my lover or my opponent. Argha! Now should what? I am an independent without a party now ostracized in my own commission. How can my voice be heard?" this time not just sitting down, you're laying yourself down.

"Be like Shim Suryeon."

"Sorry, who? Is he Shim's brother 'Choikang' Changmin?" you who were not connected to Key's talk instantly looked at him confused.

"Look, I now feel sorry for you who work too hard just to be bullied. Almost everyone knows the drama and I'm guessing you don't have time for it. Even contacting me was rare," he made a sad face that changed into annoyed as he said.

"Yes .. sorry, for that. After this I will contact you more often. It's just that, back to the original topic, how did my voice sound, Key?" you emphasize the voice on the mention of your lover's name.

"Let's play a little naughty. They are typical that do not show fear in small bluffs, then we should bluff harder. I thought of something ... Don't you always use your device when you're in a meeting?" asked Key while making a face that showed that he was thinking hard.

"Yes, they wear. If a large meeting of devices is already available. For small meetings .. well, each device. Uh, wait a minute," you paused on the information and squinted at your lover.

"You're finally hooked up to my point, '" he laughed at your reaction.

"You're gonna do that?" tanyamu who now put on a worried look.

"Calm down, you're like I've just tried first" Key continued.

"However, you usually do that for the police or intelligence. It's legal and you're white hat. If this one ... without supervision ...," obviously his light laughter can not melt the worry in both your heart and face.

"Illegal ways, black hat. Good goal, white hat. This time it will be gray hat. Well, if you don't want to, please continue to be a doormat in the education commission," Key picked up a snack in the dining table jar and looked at you who were cuddling your head with both hands. He laughed a few times because to him you were like the GM chess meme Irene Sukandar was thinking hard.

"Huft, alright, it seems like I have no other choice. Although I don't really understand this... Can you be open to whatever you're going to do?" your door is now staring at his face.

"Of course I'll open up, just to you. I want to run the ransomware as well as file heist on them. Of course the ransom should be a profitable one. The files of their dirty work are certainly the most valuable assets of a lawmaker like you."

"Are you thinking of blackmailing them? These people are not afraid to lose money to hide their honesty. The ransom will be easily paid," you put a few pangs in your mouth after making that statement.

"No, no, not the money I'm going to ask them for ransom. However, the project files behind. If they don't give it to me, I'll find it myself through the file heist."

"It feels like you can do everything yourself ...," again you lay down on the sofa and sigh.

"There's one thing you can do" Key showed a loose disk in front of your face, "spreading ransomware with this thing."

"Can't you do it yourself?" tanyamu.

"If the target is this specific .. I need you," Key brought his face closer to you, indicating that he really needs you.

"Alright, I accept that. So, how should I do?" you also get excited again after getting an important role from your lover.

"Have our victims click on the 'ban' ransomware. Also so that you are not more suspect .. You should also sacrifice your laptop. Especially for you, I won't ruin anything" the man threw a sweet smile.

"Do I need a little acting?" ask you in a joking tone.

"Try to see you don't know anything about this. That's the best act you can do. Don't the ordinary lawmakers do that?"

"Not with me, but I'll try. What kind of ransomware will you release this time?" your question is curious because as long as you are with him, you learn a little about the world. Types of ransomware. At least you remember one, Wannacrypt0.2. No, obviously not because Key took it off. Ransomware worms are spreading fast all over the world.

"Name Mamba. Commonly used to attack a company and not as widespread as Wannacry, so not a worm. Mamba usually encrypts the entire hard disk until the ransom is paid. The effect if not immediately make a payment agreement, yes already, forever the computer will be like that. Black background and white writing. Very boring, isn't it? Bored and lost data is the best punishment for those who are dirty and disturb my Beloved" Key smiled and looked at you who became misbehaved.

"Oh? What's with your reaction? You got a fever just because I called you 'Dreams'?" he even looked at you ignorant in exchange for your reaction.

"What do you mean?"

"Your face is as red as an apple. Haha, that's funny. Though we've been together a long time, but you're not used to me yet" Key replied with a laugh that filled the room, "Hm, I remember that you haven't eaten. What do you want to eat? I'll make it before we go back to discussing this attack."

"It's totally up to you. I'm an all-eater." Key cooked for both of you. During the meal, you only talk about light things like daily life or the plot of the Penthouse drama. However, after you finish eating, you re-create the plan and you are very excited for it.

"You're a trojan horse sending soldier, just think so. Then, this camouflaged file is his horse and the ransomware is a Trojan warrior. That's why the Mamba belongs to the Trojan family. It depends on your acting to be the one who looks like you don't know about this. Don't worry about your laptop, I'll take care of it later. The point is, don't get caught. You got it, right?" Key again explained to you about the mechanism of spreading ransomware to you with several parables. You nodded enthusiastically because you fully understood.

"I'll be the spirit of revenge like this."

"Oh, you have to."

"Wait, what about the alias? You cannot use your real name, Kim Kibum, or even the alias KeyMansae. The police and intelligence will know right away that it was you, "you're looking at him seriously this time.

"Isn't that ... dies irae?" you answer with doubt.

"True, I will use that name, Dies Irae, because tomorrow is the judgment day for the education commission. Ah, I can't wait for those rats to make a resigned face. Ahhaha!"

So the next morning, during a deciding meeting on new policies related to attending school in pandemic times, you continue to put on a bright smile even though they continue to say you subtly.

"Oh, the Saint has come. Hows it? Did you print out a budget list for the stuff that schools need in pandemic times? What about the file?" a man asked you.

"certainly already. I did as much as I could do it right and quickly," you handed over a stack of reports with loose disks that already contained trojan files on it to the man while smiling as necessary behind your mask.

"Did you clean that one too?" ask the woman sitting next to you.

"That?" you ask, pretend not to understand, but already know for sure that what they mean is a budget increase that can later be cut. It's common.

"You're too clean, hahaha. Pretend you don't know?" the female lawmaker next to you nudged yourself softly and laughed.

"Oh, about that? I've understood. Please open the file if you disagree," you lure them to open the file which is actually a Trojan horse for ransomware.

"I don't agree with your composition on the paper. Huft, open the file! We revise again together. You ... connect your laptop to the projector" one of the oldest-looking men in the room ordered you to plug the laptop into the projector. You saw them copy files from

your disc off while connecting the laptop.

"Eh? The feeling I just bought a laptop yesterday," began to sound a complaint from one of the members of the education commission. You want to laugh but for the sake of this attack to begin with, that feeling must be withheld. You also open a file that becomes a cover. Sure enough, shortly after, your laptop restarted and re-lit with a black background and white writing.

Brak!

"What'sthis? Cyber attack?" the chairman of the commission who was at one table with you looked furious, "Who else experienced this?" Everyone raises their hands, including you.

"Your PC's data is encrypted. If you pay with your precious secret plan, soon decrypt. Send to diesirae@mambamail.com. This madman .. does he think we're intelligence insiders? 'What's the 'Secret Plan?" the commission chief read out the ransom he wanted.

"Yes. I don't understand either. But how is this? We can't work without a laptop" complained another education commission member.

"If he asked for money, it wouldn't be so hard. Really strange," the other members also cursed. You just sighed. They deny all the dirty things. Because not being able to do anything other than stare at the writing is also too risky to do 'betrayal' by sending files that are on you in front of them, even you do not have a complete copy of all the dirty documents, so you decide to do a hard restart on your laptop even though you know it will be useless because the one encrypted by this ransomware is the entire hard disk.

"Could he know something? Hey, Saints, have you ever told me about what we do to other people?" the woman sitting next to you started accusing you. Time to bring out your best acting skills.

"No. You know my background, right? You have no one" you sighed and threw a glance at your laptop that was back on and again showed the ransom note.

"This attack really sucks," you're in mourning.

"Ah, you really don't know, huh? Haha, The Saint cannot lie indeed," he nodded then sat back in his chair.

"Today's meeting was canceled with a heavy heart. Someone wanted to attack parliament apparently. It's nothing new, hahaha. Tomorrow come back with a new laptop or ... If you don't have enough money, fix this problem yourself," the commission chairman closes his laptop roughly and becomes the first to move out of the room. The other members followed immediately with their faces bent, as well as you. You decide to walk to the bus stop. There you sit and hug your laptop bag while looking at the street. Once the bus comes, you go straight in, pay the fare and sit at the very back. When the bus moves away from the parliament building, then you smile so wide that it looks only from your eye line.

Your first steps succeeded.

Just when you could lay down on the couch after cleaning up, Key called you. Because you are in a happy mood, you immediately answer it.

"How about Dies Irae Hacker-nim? What did you get from that locked hard disk?" tanyu with a small laugh followed.

"Oh, some of them actually send files. However, no one sends files about corruption quota assistance that you tell me. Fortunately I got it. You know very well who I am in cyberspace," Key also said in a happy tone.

"Of course, you're the best in the country" you laughed.

"Hey, you're very satisfied, aren't you? Don't do it because it's the first stage. If this evidence doesn't rise to the surface then our work is meaningless."

"You're going to send it to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, the police, the prosecutor and the media with the alias 'Dies Irae' right? Wouldn't the members of the parliament be able to reverse the allegations into a cyber attack? They knew the pseudonym from the email, "you immediately became worried that you would get caught.

"Don't worry! You think I didn't think of that? I still have a lot of aliases. Hey, you know about the legend of the Cephalopod monster from Scotland?" You smile before responding to that one. He's playing guess again.

"Oh, Kraken. You wanna use that name?"

"Yes! Because I'm going to sink the education commission ship with the crew. However, I would be a little kind by letting go of one crewman who had a clean heart," even from his voice you could tell he was in flowers.

"Hoho, thank you, Kraken-nim."

"That must happen. Rest and to be safe, for a while .. We must not meet. For your safety. You could be the one they suspect the most. Play beautiful again like before, my dear! Oh, plus, don't look for traces of our call today, will you? You know why."

You decided to take a nap after disconnecting the phone with your lover. The ringing of the incoming phone many times makes you wake up at 3 pm. Funny thing is it all comes from the other 10 commission members. Some people send you messages, but the point is the same.

Come to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission office!

After reading those messages, you quickly turn on the TV.

"A list of misappropriation of quota aid funds on students has been spread outside on the internet. It is known the origin of this list from someone with the ID 'Kraken-nim'. The truth is being investigated, but netizens have first vented their outrage online against the education commission's lawmakers." A woman gives a narration while a copy of the file is prominently shown on television.

The tring!

KimKibum: Don't be afraid. Voicing truth. I've trusted you always, my darling.

(message will be deleted automatically at 3.06)

Smile reading that message. Since the message will be erased at 3.06, to remove any trace of your relationship in this attack, then you choose not to retaliate.

Geck! Geck! Geck! Ding! Dong!

"Excuse me, is there anyone inside?" Someone knocked on the door and you opened it. There are two men looking at you stiffly.

"Good afternoon, Miss. We're from Anti-Cor ...."

"I'll come along. For the sake of opening the truth," you said without hesitation that made the two men feel strange. As long as they worked, the summoned people would argue all out, but this woman was different.

"Don't be too surprised, sir. I have watched the news. Wait what else? I will be a boiling pot of truth for this nation. But before ... allow me to change this house shirt."

"A-ah, yeah, s-please."
