#assassin Zuho

[slytherinshua]

HOLD ME TIGHT

genre. a little tension but not truly e2l. mutual pining/misunderstandings. kinda fluffy. entirely based on motorcyclist!zuho. warnings. briefly mentioned that zuho & reader are spies/assassins. wounds and injuries mentioned (not in detail). zuho is hot (and cute) and rides a motorcycle. pairing. zuho x fem!reader. wc. 2.6k. a/n. originally got the idea from the lyrics of 'tight' and @eternalgyu's delusions 😭 but it strayed a little away from the first inspiration... hope it's still okay tho

“As long as you hold me tight, we’ll be good.” Juho’s deep voice filled your ears as if in a daze. You forced your head to nod to him, though you had barely processed his words. You weren’t in the best of circumstances at the moment— having gotten beaten up pretty badly just an hour before. Your teammate had been in a different area, and only found you once he was done with his portion of the mission. At least you had taken out the enemy, though.

Now it was just a transportation problem. You couldn’t ride your own motorcycle back to base considering your condition. This forced Juho to clench his jaw and offer for you to ride with him. He didn’t want to. Frankly, he didn’t want to have any reason to even talk to you, but he kept being assigned the same missions as you, so now, here he was.

You didn’t really annoy him. Well, maybe a little— but not in the way people usually did. You were clearly very good at your job, and your charisma was clear in the way you carried out every mission. Juho would be lying if he didn’t hold a lot of respect for you. He was known to be a bit cold to the team, rarely ever talking to anyone besides Taeyang. He particularly avoided you, only because whenever he was in your presence, his brain didn’t seem to think straight.

In short, you distracted him. A lot. He wasn’t one to catch feelings on the job, especially this job, where the circumstances were always teetering on the edge of life or death. But it seemed like you broke all his rules. He had encased his heart behind a thick metal wall, yet somehow, you had already started making a dent in it.

You didn’t think anything of the way he was glaring at you— you couldn’t think of a time when he hadn’t glared at you. But you weren’t appreciating the way your inebriated mind was racing with a thought. Just 1 thought.

Baek Juho looked hot when angry.

Given that you were bleeding and not entirely sober at the moment, the thought was beyond absurd. But it was probably because you were injured and intoxicated that those thoughts allowed themselves to enter your mind.

You were dizzy as you clumsily pushed your body up onto the back of the motorcycle. Juho waited until you were on and secure to take his seat. You tried to put on your helmet, but due to your slight head injury, you couldn’t put on your helmet without worsening the open wound. You heard Juho curse under his breath as you winced in pain.

“I’ll drive safely. Ditch the helmet.” He commanded, sliding on his own helmet and revving up the engine. “I’m not going to start until you’re holding on.” He muttered. Your brain caught onto his annoyed tone, and you quickly placed your hands on his shoulders, just slightly gripping his jacket.

“That’s not gonna do a thing.” He commented, grabbing one of your hands and moving it to his waist. Your breath caught up in your throat. In order to hold his waist securely, you had to rest your head against his back. His rather attractive, strong, broad back. You were screwed.

Juho finally started driving once you were holding him as tight as he felt necessary. You were thankful that it wasn’t too much of a windy night, otherwise the breeze would’ve been sure to agitate your wounds. There wasn’t much you could talk about over the sound of the motorcycle, so you kept silent. As you sobered up, you grew evermore aware of how tense Juho was. Was he always this rigid?

To your surprise, when he stopped the motorcycle, you weren’t in front of your team’s base, but instead, a small house. Juho cleared his throat seconds after he had stopped, bringing your attention to the way you were still clinging to his middle. You quickly brought your hands away from him in embarrassment, catching your balance as you got off the vehicle. You were still in a lot of pain, but at least your head was clearer than before. A good 2 am drive did wonders for your mental health.

“Make yourself at home.” Juho said as he opened the door to the house. You weren’t sure what you were expecting from Juho’s home, but you definitely hadn’t bargained that it would be this… warm.

The first thing you were met with when you stepped inside was the meowing of a cat. A light orange short haired cat soon appeared from another room, mewling up at Juho, quick to give his legs affectionate rubs with his head.

Juho coughed, “Don’t mind Huru. I haven’t been home in a while. I hope you’re not allergic to cats?” He queried, looking back at you as he picked up the cat in his arms, cradling the little boy lovingly.

You were dumbfounded. The Juho in front of you was like a completely different person. You tried to rub your eyes to see if you were just seeing things when you caught onto a smile on his face. Baek Juho smiling. Your teammates would think you were crazy if you told them about this later.

“N-no. I’m fine with cats.” You mumbled a late response to his question, standing awkwardly at the doorway. You had discarded your work boots, but now didn’t know where to go or what to do. You felt like you were intruding. Juho was always a very private person. No one but Taeyang really knew much about his personal life. Yet, here you were, welcomed into his living space by the man himself.

“Bathroom’s first door on the left. There’s a kit in the cabinet. Bring it out and I’ll patch you up.” Juho instructed, his tone much softer than earlier on the mission. It was weird, but you couldn’t say you didn’t like the change. There was a comforting sense with the way he was talking to you… almost, a fond look in his eyes?

You found your way to the bathroom, finding it pristinely clean and organised, as if you were at a hotel. This was something you did expect from the man. The rooms at the base would probably be a pigsty if it weren’t for Juho’s efforts to keep things tidy. You located the first aid kit in the cabinet where Juho said it would be, and brought it back out to the living room.

You sat awkwardly on the couch, waiting for Juho to come back. You could hear him rustling in the kitchen. While you were waiting, Huru got curious of the new person in the house and came to start sniffing you cautiously. He jumped up on the couch next to you, investigating you before settling down in a meatloaf position next to you.

Juho came back seconds later, smiling widely at the two of you, “As expected. Huru also has good taste in women.” His eyes held a playful glint as he took a spot next to you on the couch. He got out the supplies needed and started working on the head wound first.

You had been patched up many times by your teammates. It was uncomfortable, and more than not, extremely painful. Most occasions were time sensitive, so there was no room to be careful and gentle when the goal was to stop the bleeding enough to get out of the dangerous situation.

The way Juho was handling you, though, was extremely gentle. His touch was soft, almost hesitant, enough to prevent any extra sting from the disinfectant. He was doing a better job making sure you didn’t feel pain that you would’ve been able to if you had to patch yourself up.

It felt strangely intimate. The small living room, both of you sitting close on the 2 cushioned couch. Huru watched both of you carefully, squinting cutely at his father every once in a while, making Juho smile back. You stayed silent for most of it, until the question became too overbearing for you to keep in any longer.

“How come you’re so warm?” The question came out a little hesitantly, and you gulped down the uncomfortable lump that formed in your throat once you got the words out. Most of the nervousness came from Juho’s expression. He kept a poker face, but confusion soon spread on it as he met your eyes.

“Warm?”

You were forced to elaborate further, fiddling with your hands as Juho set down the blood soaked cotton swab he was holding, “You’re… surprisingly… pleasant to be around?” You offered up the thought, not quite sure if you had articulated it how you would’ve liked, but it would have to do for now.

“Was I not before?” He responded, picking up a fresh roll of bandages and dabbing at a bleeding spot on your arm.

“Well. You were always so reserved? No one would’ve guessed that you lived in this cozy space with a cute cat and a collection of colourful ceramic mugs.” You mumbled. 

Juho stiffened, “You noticed the ceramics?” 

You smiled a little, “They were all lined up so nicely on the shelf in the kitchen… It’s cute. You’re cute.”

Cute. Juho had never been called cute before. Cold, unfeeling, rude, professional, reliable, stern. Those were all words he could easily attribute to himself. But cute? He shifted uncomfortably on the couch, not liking how you were seconds away from delivering the final blow to the damaged and dented metal wall around his heart. It was seconds away from becoming disfigured beyond imagination, all because of 2 words.

“I see.” He whispered throatily, trying to catch his breath from the unmistakable tension in the room. “You must be tired. You can take my bed. I’ll sleep on the couch.” He announced, snapping shut the first aid kit and leaving to put it away before you could protest him.

You decided to just go with it. You didn’t have energy or courage to object to anything Juho said. Despite the warmth he had given you tonight, he was still intimidating at times. If he flashed another smile to you, you were sure you’d end up doing something you’d really really regret. 

Lying down on his bed felt like something you were definitely not supposed to do. You were trespassing on his privacy by being here. You should’ve asked him to drive you home instead of letting him let you stay over here. Your brain was racing with the overwhelming thoughts. They were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Juho came in dressed in pyjamas. He held a mug of hot tea in one hand and some clothes in the other. You could tell he had showered by the way his hair was still wet, and you willed your brain to stop screaming about how attractive he looked like that.

“I thought you might appreciate some tea. And it would be uncomfortable to sleep in your uniform… though I’m sure you’ve done it before. I brought some clothes just in case you wanted to change into them.” He explained shyly, setting down the cup of tea and clothes on the bedside table and quickly saying goodnight. Just going in to give you those 2 things had his stomach twisting and turning in nervousness. The effect you had on him was undeniable.

The tea made you sleepier, and the clothes were incredibly comfortable to sleep in, albeit a little big on you. It wasn’t hard to fall asleep once you relaxed into the soft fluffy pillows and warm blankets. Your body desperately needed the rest, and you were thankful that there was no work to do tomorrow.

You woke up to Juho’s face dangerously close to yours. You would’ve shrieked in shock if it wasn’t for the sleepiness evident in his eyes. He clearly wasn’t in any state to do anything to you. His eyes weren’t quite closed, but his eyelids drooped down almost all the way. He must’ve also just woken up.

“Did you sleep well?” He asked you in an incredibly deep, sleepy morning voice. His eyes had fallen shut again, but he could feel your stare against his face, and he couldn’t help but curve one corner of his lips up.

“I thought you were going to sleep on the couch?” You asked, bewildered at the closeness between you two. It was impossible to want to move, though, given the ache in your body from the past day’s injuries.

“I didn’t mean to… I must’ve been too tired when I came to check on you a couple hours ago.” He whispered. Your response was interrupted when Huru jumped up on the bed, purring contentedly and headbutting Juho’s cheek incessantly. You giggled at the sight. The way Juho closed his eyes tightly and scrunched up his face, trying (and failing) to get Huru to settle down, was the most precious sight you had seen.

You sighed, “Thank you for your hospitality. I guess I should probably get back to my place now.” Your lack of motivation to actually leave was clearly evident to both you and Juho. Your apartment had always felt a little lonely. You didn’t have the time to decorate it or pick up collecting hobbies like Juho’s ceramics. Neither did you have furry companions to wake you up with affection in the morning. If things went exactly the way you wished them to, you would be able to stay with Juho just for a little longer. His presence right now was more comforting than anyone else's.

Juho sat up, thinking for a second. It seemed as if he could read the thoughts your brain was bringing up, as he suddenly asked, “Do you have plans for later?”

You shook your head.

“Would you like to grab coffee with me?” He tilted his head to the side with a small smile. You couldn’t possibly say no to the sight. His bed hair, soft pyjamas, and contented sleepy face— you were sure he was trying to make you fall in love with him at this point. He was the cutest person you had ever seen.

“Are you asking me out right now?” You asked with a smile, an elated feeling bubbling in your chest.

“Only if you say yes.” He responded, impatient to hear your response. 

“Don’t worry. Going out for coffee with my handsome coworker sounds like a great way to spend the day.” You mused and Juho laughed, mirroring the happiness that you felt.

Since you had met Juho, you had always thought he was cold. His sharp features and serious stare gave off a strong impression, and since he didn’t make much effort to get close to people, that unwelcome belief of his personality lived on in your brain for a long time. But it only took that one coffee date to entirely change your perspective on him.

No, Juho wasn’t cold or rude or impolite. He was warm and friendly and so, so cute. He talked a lot about his cats and his childhood— his interest in music, and, of course, his ceramic mugs. He listened intently to everything you had to say. You talked for hours at the cafe, and then for even more hours at home. You kept talking and talking and talking— always finding more you wanted to say; neither of you getting tired of the company.

After that day, Juho no longer looked at missions assigned with you with distaste. Instead of suppressing the fluttery feeling that you summoned in him with just your mere presence, he welcomed it. He smiled a lot more; enough for your other teammates to start to question his switch in behaviour. You had slowly but surely dented the wall surrounding his heart, and now, he gladly let you in, letting you fill every corner of it with warmth and love.

For the Weird Questions for Writers: 7, 11, 13, 17, 20, 21, 24, 29, 37

Hi Sass :) <3 Answers below!

send me asks | Weird Questions for Writers

7. What is your deepest joy about writing?

Seeing the characters do things I'm not expecting.

11. Do you believe in the old advice to “kill your darlings?” Are you a ruthless darling assassin? What happens to the darlings you murder? Do you have a darling graveyard? Do you grieve?

Once in a class, I pitched a new WIP and specified that no one died at the end. A classmate then piped up to ask, "Are you doing okay?" I'm very much a fan of killing my darlings. I think responses to grief are really fascinating and I enjoy exploring them a LOT.

13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?

Writing about writing is actually really, really difficult. I keep making my characters authors and that's a terrible decision. Also politics are difficult to write. Themes like grief, obsession, those are easy for me. I love those.

17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.

Dividing this into three sections:

Idol!Gaon AU- The other members of the group and their respective face claims are Bae Woojin (SHINee's Key), Kim Chanhee (SF9's Zuho), Cha Junyoung (Ateez's Seonghwa), and Yoo Joonwoo (Seventeen's Jeonghan). Yohan helped write one of the songs on Gaon's first solo album and did all of the photography for the album. Gaon was always very close with Woojin and Joonwoo and felt betrayed by Woojin - not for stealing in the first place, but for not asking for help.

Critical Role Fic 1- Every time they jump back in time, Caleb and Essek's eyes change color. Neither of them notice. They are not the ones who control who remembers, despite what they think - there may be a surviving member of Vox Machina who knows they're doing it. Jurrell and Caleb have the same color eyes. Beau and Fjord functioning as mentors to Lucien started because I thought it would be funny but I realized very quickly that Beau mentoring Lucien actually makes a ton of sense.

Critical Role Fic 2- (literally copied from the first page of notes for the fic) Around 710 PD, Empire forces, under the command of the Cerberus Assembly and Commander General Hadrian Dedreg pushed into Xhorhas, up to Asarius, the City of Beasts. The push was initially intended merely to capture certain political figures in the city. They did not anticipate the city falling as easily as it did once they reached it. There, they took all of the citizens prisoner and split them between four encampments: Vorastal, Kemerian, Nyztos, and Xirithal. Most drow were placed in Vorastal. There, Den Thelyss and Den Olios helped organize and recover from the initial war. Unbeknownst to even most of both Dens, the Umavi of Den Thelyss carried with her a Beacon, her Den tasked initially with placing it somewhere safe within Asarius. When the city fell, the Umavi hid it to protect it from the Empire. In 803 PD, Volstrucker agents under the Archmage of Civil Influence uncovered the existing hierarchy within Vorastal and began to systematically destroy it. Umavi Deirta Thelyss and her husband, Masir Thelyss, were publicly executed. Their sons Essek and Verin bore witness, and were publicly humiliated when they talked back to Volstrucker agents. Now, in 833 PD, the Thelyss brothers bear the weight of leadership of the encampment as they try to gain contact with Rosohna or the other encampments, and with the help of a few questionable allies, find the Beacon hidden in the ruins of the City of Beasts.

Original Fiction- Bela's eyes are golden, except for when he uses his godly abilities, then his eyes goes completely black. In Rehan, Fix is considered to be the gender of 'foreigner.' The only people who don't treat her like that are the royal family, because Bela would actually kill his family if they treated her poorly. That being said, Bela is a hypocrite and will refer to Fix as genderless if she's not there. Tahsim used to be friendly with Bela and Evren, before his family was destroyed for treason and he was exiled as the sole survivor.

20. If a witch offered you the choice between eternal happiness with your one true love and the ability to finally finish, perfect, and publish your dearest, darlingest, most precious WIP in exactly the way you've always imagined it — which would you choose? You can’t have both sorry, life’s a bitch

Jokes on the witch, eternal happiness with my one true love would be eternity with a WIP.

21. Could you ever quit writing? Do you ever wish you could? Why or why not?

Haha. No. Definitely not. I've devoted a lot of money to writing at this point.

24. How much prep work do you put into your stories? What does that look like for you? Do you enjoy this part or do you just want to get on with it?

Depends on the story! Sometimes I plan things out, or jot down scenes that stand out in my head. Other times, I just sit and write and see what happens. I like rambling bullet points for outlining.

29. Where do you draw your inspiration? What do you do when the inspiration well runs dry?

I seem to have never-ending inspiration, to be honest. Sometimes I just have a moment of 'huh wonder what would happen if I poked that dynamic with a stick." This month, I'm sticking to character and pre-planned prompts for daily writing, just to see what happens when I stick to it.

37. If you were to be remembered only by the words you’ve put on the page, what would future historians think of you?

"Damn there's something fucked up about that kid."

A Shadow in the Night

➵ SF9: Zuho x fem. reader / one shot, assassin AU / angst, fluff

➵ warnings: mentions of violence, slight cursing

➵ word count: 1.8k

a/n: I just wanted to drabble but then... this happened. I’m currently not planning to turn this into a series - so, please excuse the cliff-hanger.

Your heart beats frantically against your ribcage.

It’s dangerous and stupid, this game you’re playing.

But right now, it feels right, oh so right.

“Got you.” A body presses against you, warm and solid, already feeling way too familiar.

“Juho.”, you whisper, letting yourself be turned around by the tall man, who immediately captures your lips in a hungry kiss. You press your body closer to his, sliding both arms around his neck, answering his desperation in the same manner.

“No one saw you, right?”, he whispers against your lips, dark eyes boring into yours.

“Of course not.”, you answer mildly offended, “You’re not the only one who knows how to hide and sneak around, Ju.”

He grins. “I know, but I love teasing you. You always get that cute line between your eyebrows.“ He playfully taps your forehead, making you swat his hand away.

“You’re an actual ten year old.”, you chide, “I don’t even know why I put up with you.”

“Because of my stunning looks and sparkling personality.”

Before you can retort anything witty, his lips are on yours again, your playful banter quickly forgotten.

Neither Juho nor you had planned for this (whatever this might be), but neither of you can stop this anymore – not that you would want to. From being rival assassins and each other’s enemies to becoming lovers… You would have bursted out laughing if anyone had dared to predict something like that.

But here you are now, in the arms of one of your brotherhood’s biggest rivals, The Nine. And not just someone from The Nine – the Shadow, a name never whispered without fear.

It had been the Shadow you had seen step out of seemingly nowhere all those weeks ago, when you had been posted as a stakeout one cold winter night, being tasked with looking for The Nine. The Shadow had been the one who captured your eyes, the one who sparked not only fear but also curiosity in you.

... If only you had known then, what would come for you - all the loss and pain and fear. But who could have known? And hadn’t it been worth it, after all?

You and Jun had been captured by The Nine a few months ago, not long after your brotherhood had tried to murder one of them. The assassins of The Nine had slowly tortured both of you in an attempt to get the names and locations of your brotherhood. But you had remained stoic, simply holding out and fleeing into a happy space inside your own head. The8 had prepared you for situations like these – you as well as Jun. After days of zero progress, The Nine had tried a different approach: getting Jun and you to trust them. So they had begun to send two assassins into your cells. For Jun, it had been an assassin with greyish-blue hair and a bright smile by the name of Jaeyoon, for you it had been someone named Hwiyoung, one of The Nine’s youngest assassins. But again, their attempt had failed – because The Carat had staged a dangerous and stupid rescue mission to break you and Jun out of The Nine’s headquarters. Even The8 had been there - and your leader seldom left headquarters anymore.

Well and that had been it. No more contact with anyone from The Nine for weeks. Everything had seemed calm, peaceful even.

You and Juho had actually met on a totally different occasion – a ball.

To be more specific, a masquerade ball to celebrate the 500th birthday of your nation state; basically everyone had been invited. Even The Carat had not wanted to miss such a big party and in the end, most of the brotherhood had gone to the ball. You had almost laughed at having to wear a mask for it – as an assassin, you were always wearing some kind of mask to hide your true self. Only this time, you had to wear a real fancy one. But still, you had been excited to finally get out of headquarters again. The8 had been way too protective of you and Jun, locking you away inside headquarters ever since The Nine had managed to capture you both. For the first time in weeks, you had felt like finally being able to breathe again. The mere thought of leaving the dark chambers of your hideout had been liberating. So you had put on a dark red dress, a silver mask and had worn your hair open for the first time in too long. The night had felt full of possibilities and freedom and you had been unable to hide your excitement, when you walked down the steps towards the glittering dance floor.

Your warm, heartfelt laughter had been the first thing Juho had noticed about you. He had been intrigued from the first second, quickly making his way through the many dancing figures towards you. He had captured your hand in his, twirling you around to face him. He had only been able to see a pair of sparkling eyes through your mask as well as the bright smile tugging on your lips. He didn’t recognize you from before, because that night, you hadn’t been the assassin he had captured all those weeks ago – that had been someone else entirely, a dark and sly assassin. The woman at the ball had been just you for once.

“Dance with me, please.”, Juho had said to you and after taking a quick double-take at his deep voice and sharp jaw line, you had nodded a bit shyly and followed him onto the dance floor. Neither of you had been aware of the other one’s true identity. 

“What’s your name?”, Juho had asked, but you had only smiled at him, before giving a cheeky answer: “There’s no need for names tonight.”

Juho had been enthralled ever since.

It had been the beginning of the end for both of you.

When The8 lifts the dark cloth covering the face of his prisoner, you just barely manage to conceal your shock and stifle your groan.

Your heart begins to frantically hammer against your ribcage and you shift from one foot to the other, crossing your arms and slipping on a mask of mild annoyance and boredom.

“So, who’s that?”, you ask, feigning innocence.

Your leader grins like a Cheshire cat, eyes glinting dangerously in the dimly lit room. “That, my love, is one of The Nine’s inner circle. Hoshi and his team managed to capture him last night. And I think we’ll have a lot of fun with him, don’t you?”

“Oh, you know that I have absolute faith in Jun’s methods.”, you simply answer, smiling slightly.

The8 nods thoughtfully. “I think you should lend him a hand, though. You two are the best we’ve got and I need information as quickly as possible.”

“I’m all yours.”, you answer sweetly, honey coating your voice.

Don’t look at him, don’t look at him. Just ignore him, you think to yourself, bile rising up your throat.

You try not to think of his eyes, which always look at you in such wonder and awe, which you know better than your own by now, which get darker with lust and lighter with laughter... 

And which are now blackish-blue and almost swollen shut. 

God, it is painful to look at Baek Juho, your lover, your confidante, your beacon of light in the darkest of hours. 

The barely noticeable movement of his chest is the only sign that he is still alive, that your brothers and sisters haven’t killed him yet.

What have Hoshi and the others done to him?!

You almost cry at the sight in front of you.

God, you have to get him out of here – even if it means betraying the only family you have ever known.

“Is he even still alive?”, you finally manage to ask, surprised to find your own voice steady and flat.

“Barely.” The8 grins. He usually isn’t a fan of unnecessary cruelty, but The Nine has been your enemy for the longest of times now – and finally having the upper hand for once seems to make your leader more than happy.

“And who exactly is he?”

“The Shadow.”

Shitshitshitshit. The8 even knows Juho’s title. That means he will install the highest of security around him at all times.

How are you supposed to get him out of here? And alone, at that?

“Well, if that’s all for now… I think I need to rest for a bit, if you don’t mind.”, you finally say, nearly choking on this simple sentence.

The8 just shrugs. “Sure, you’ve had some rough nights. Go, get some sleep – or whatever you do with Wonwoo these nights.“ He grins and shoots you a wink.

You barely manage your smile this time. The8 doesn’t know you have ended things with Wonwoo weeks - no, months ago already. He doesn’t know, because you don’t tell him anything anymore. He used to be your best friend, your confidante and had always been the closest thing you had to family. 

But so many things have begun to change these past months - and not only thanks to your new lover. The change in The8′s character began as soon as the old King died – and that’s probably the reason for you stopping to call him Minghao; he’s only The8 for you now, at least in your mind. He has become so power-hungry, so ruthless – your oldest friend has withered away and become a monster you don’t even know or want to know anymore.

Meeting Juho all those weeks ago has only managed to confirm your own thoughts. During your secret meetings, he began to tell you all about The8’s dark secrets and by now, you don’t want to be part of The Carat anymore. You want the only life you’ve ever known to be finally over.

Maybe you’re going settle down, somewhere distant and totally different, like some others of your brotherhood have done already. But maybe you’re also going to stay in this city, the city you love so much - stay here, together with Juho, who has shown you that you can lead a different kind of life. Maybe you could even become part of The Nine and if not, do something entirely different. 

You have wanted to talk to The8 about this for some time now, but you have always found ways around this particular conversation, never feeling ready to talk to him about it just yet.

And now, it is too late for that.

Because you definitely need to get Juho out of here, as fast as possible - and no matter the cost.

You need him more than anyone else in this world.

So you will fight for him - until the very end.

Everyday, the crime underworld of New York is filled with death and battles. Jae Yoon has had enough of his share of working as a hitman. Sure, the money was great. But he’s had enough of getting blood on his hands everyday. His medical degree isn’t supposed to be for nothing. He wants to save lives. Yet, Jae Yoon knows getting out of this world would be already impossible for him. His sins are too heavy to throw away. So the only choice he got was giving the High Table his fealty as a doctor in service of the underworld. Let them be commoners or killers, he will fix them with a price. One day a very familiar woman comes running into his place, panting heavily while carrying a little girl. Her name is Rinka Yukihira, Jaeyoon’s ex-partner in crime.

Dawon | The Hitman

Dawon is known to be despicable. Joking around and seem to not taking anything seriously, his targets never fail to meet their impending doom. He has a reputation as the real life Deadshot. Yeah, that villain from Batman who’s known to never miss his shot. Dawon works alone under his own rules. Never really have any affiliation other than the High Table and that is just because he knows what’s best to survive. Trusted by The Adjudicator to kill a human trafficking’s mastermind for breaking the code, Dawon goes to the designated location to find everything didn’t go according to his plan. He finds Jiao, the woman who’s responsible for taking out his target.

Zuho | The Adjudicator

Zuho. A terrifying name for the underworld community to hear. It’s the name of The Adjudicator, the one who judges those who affiliate with The High Table, even the Table’s members themselves. He has the power to revoke the Continental’s neutral state and granting Excommunicado status. While he’s working, Itaewon Bar has always been his favorite place to hang out. That night, one particular woman catches his eyes. Park Shin Hye, a normal civilian who is oblivious with the criminals around her. But for Zuho, Shin Hye isn’t just any normal person. She was his first love.

Rowoon | The Heir

Kim Seok Woo or Rowoon, the nickname he always use to introduce himself, is the second son of the notorious Korean crime lord, the Blue Hornet mafia’s leader, Kim Woo Bin. His father has had a seat in the High Table for 10 years and soon it is ready to be given for his eldest son, Kim Seok Jin. But Rowoon knows just how incapable his older brother is. How truly useless and shallow his mind to be able to lead the Blue Hornet Mafia. Yet somehow, his father doesn’t see that. He needs to take him out. It’s now or never. Knowing John Wick isn’t up for a deal, Rowoon commissioned Delphia, a high ranking assassin that has brilliant records of kill streaks and never taking no prisoners.

Taeyang | The Dancer

Taeyang is a dancer. But before that, he is an assassin. Raised in the infamous dance studio, Round Steps, he was taught on how to kill and dance in his spare time. Taeyang doesn’t believe he can love. The only kind of love he can understand is from The Choreographer, the man who raised him ever since he was abandoned, and admiration from his brothers and sisters. That is until he meets Lee So Ra, a young ballerina assassin that is raised in the equally infamous ballet theater, Ruska Roma, chasing the same target he needs to kill that night.

Hwiyoung | The Apprentice

Hwiyoung is a popular sushi chef of Masa’s 3 Michelin stars restaurant. It isn’t only just because he’s THE Masa’s promising young apprentice, but his good looks have won favors from his loyal customers. But the restaurant is just a disguise. Behind all of the lavish wooden interiors and expensive pretty foods, the chefs in Masa’s are all trained assassins specializing in knife fights. One day, a famous runway model, Kate Jung, comes to the restaurant to commission Hwiyoung for his protection for an upcoming important event. Her 25th birthday party.

Chani | The Crime Prince

Ever since he was little, Chani never knows what it means to live normally. Before he learned to hold a spoon, the kid was taught on how to hold a gun. His father, the infamous Kang Tae Kyung is a weapon supplier and involved in a cartel with Blue Hornet Mafia. Throughout his life, Kang Chan Hee is expected to succeed his father’s legacy. Finally reaching his first year of adulthood, his parents finally introduced Chani to his fiancé. She is no other than the only daughter of The Blue Hornet’s boss, Kim Soyeon.

What Should Elle Work on Next?

I have made a google survey with all my ideas written out, giving you the option to vote on what I work on next. You can vote for multiple ideas per group and even leave your own ideas! Here’s the link to the survey! 

The rest of this post will be the ideas (under the keep reading) that couldn’t be fully explained in the survey. There are some ideas that I felt were decently summarized so they won’t be in this post, however if you want further clarification or are just curious about one, feel free to ask me about it!

A.C.E

Something You’re Not- Chan as a spy in a foreign government, gains close friendship with reader who is a government employee on the verge of promotion that will give access to classified information.

The Choice Must Be Made- Reader is an assassin, overall kind of badass, while scouting the next mark they fall for his best friend (Sehyoon) unknowingly- until they’re about to take out their mark. Then they have to make a choice- kill the mark or forgo the mission.

EXO

Stranger in the Dark (Continuation)- Reader comes into danger fighting off beasts, she gets injured taking out three of them. Chanyeol comes to the rescue, treats her injuries and their friendship grows. 

GOT7

Untitled- OC lives in a small town on an island for entire life, finally gets a chance to leave and go to a big city for college/university (gets a full ride). Everything is different, at times she feels homesick, other times she’s fascinated by everything. Meets a guy (Youngjae), he becomes her best friend, potentially becoming more. 

iKON

Untitled- Reader is distraught about a guy or a girl, best friend DK helps her out while hiding his feelings. Something happens and it’s found out that he likes the reader. 

SF9

Just A Dream Away (Continuation)- Reader and Hwiyoung look into the reasoning of their shared dreams, becoming closer in the process.

Untitled- A dark tech-dystopian world, where the reader is thought to be dead by the government. Zuho is trying to protect them from being discovered while simultaneously trying to find a way to bring down the corrupt governing body. 

Shinee

Solar World (Part 3)- Sunni (OC) and her team are brought into the main quarters of the descendants of those who survived what was thought to be the apocalypse. They meet the one in charge and slowly start to learn the inner workings of the group that captured them.

Vixx

Stitch Me Back Together- Fleur (OC) is a doctor who had a patient die on her with mysterious circumstances. She gets questioned by a detective who, just before he leaves, somehow eases her distraught emotions. After being questioned, Fleur realizes that some things just aren’t adding up. Something’s off and she will figure out what it is, no matter the cost.
