Kim Seuljae is just like any ordinary girl, big dreams and ambitions but all that needed to wait as college task and part-time job kept piling up.

Her hand gliding across her holographic screen as a line was made, following her hand movement. Doodling a sketch as she soon created another design.

She let out a sigh as she stretched out her hands, rolling back her shoulders as if there were some weight being place on it. The ringing made out of the water boiling was heard, taking her mind from her design.

She simply snapped her fingers as the sound soon dimmed down, knowing perfectly the fire is now off.

"Oh! It's off. Thanks Jae."

"No worries."

She replied as her co-worker entered the designing area. "Can I get one cappuccino?"

"Coming right up."

"Thanks, Heejin."

Facing back to see her friend, working as a barista started to make her coffee. A smile was plastered on Seuljae's face as she inhaled the scent of coffee that started to fill up the whole shop.

Her focus once again was distracted with the sound of the door opening as a hooded tall male figure entered.

The male walked up to her only to stand, gazing her with dark eyes, his dark bangs were sticking out from under the hood as half of his face was covered with a black coloured mask.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Seuljae said, trying not to stutter as his scary appearance made her tremble even though she tried hard not to jump into conclusion.

"You do designs right?"

His low voice startled her, eyes were still locked on her. She simple hummed while nodding, biting her inner lips.

"Do you make skins for guns?"

"Huh?" It came out as a habit but simply Seuljae was taken completely off guard by the questions.

"Eh– from time to time... Yes?"

She answered uncertain of her past experience. In the past, people came just to write initials for daggers or kitchen knifes for some reason but that's about it.

She heard the male hummed in response as his hand went into his pocket to pull out a small disk. He simply threw the disk on her desk only to let it emerged slowly into pixels before regaining its original state as a rifle.

Seuljae held in her gasp as she saw the high tech weapon on her desk, analysing it deeply. it was Phantom.

"Can you customise it?"

"Umm– yeah, I can try. What design do you want?"

"I actually have the rough sketch of it, my friend made it."

"Okay." Seuljae uttered, now holding the crumbled paper in her hands as she took a look at the sketch.

It was rough and messy sketch in first glance but it was enough for Seuljae to get what design the man wanted. A simple but elegant design was perfect for deadly weapon.

"Alright, I'll work on it. I guess I can finish this today. Uh– can I get your code?"

"Can we not use code?"

"Okay? So how will I transfer this to you?"

The man stood there for a while, eyes flickering, thinking for a solution. "Here, come there at 5PM. Ask one of the employee there and tell them that Asteroid sent you."

Handing a card to her, the neon colour dimmed slightly letting the girl to read the white writings on the card.

"Asteroid?"

"Thank you, I'll transfer the money later."

The man didn't give Seuljae any time to ask further as he turned his back and left, not uttering more words.

Seuljae stood there perplexed as her gazed flickered to the gun on her desk and the door.

"Holy! It is a phantom!"

Heejin's voice was heard as she put Seuljae's cup of cappuccino, placing her chin on Seuljae's shoulder. "Damn, that's one sexy Phantom."

"It's a normal Phantom, Heejin. Why would it be sexy?"

"You know how old guns will have some sort of scratches on the body."

"It could be a new phantom?"

"Right but damn! the design is pretty good."

Heejin chimed, grabbing the paper as she take a look at the design.

"Fires, neon colours. More flames. Ohh? And an initial."

"I'll need to perfected that sketch it's so messy." Seuljae said, the tone of complaint was heard as she turned on her light table as started to trace the sketch.

"You do you but hey! I want to see the final result before you give it back."

"Okay! Can you get me some brownies?"

"On it!"

It did take a while for Seuljae to finish the design. Although it was a simply design, many of its original parts needed to be replace with the one the will suit the design much better.

She sighed as she opened her mask, wiping her sweats with her forearm as she then took off her gloves.

Putting the weapon into the cooling area so the design won't come off, she then entered the previous room where she met a couple of her co-workers busy with their own job.

She leaned back to the counter as Heejin approached her with a wide smile. "I'm guessing you're done?"

"Yeah, it's harder than I expected."

Heejin chuckled as she handed her a glass of cold lemon tea. "Here, to refresh."

"Thanks."

"And remember, you need to get ready before 5PM."

Seuljae softly groaned as she lowered her head, hearing her friend chuckled as she patted her back.

"Right, he didn't want to give me his code." She mumbled as she took another sip of her lemon tea.

"I mean I kinda get him, I don't like using my code either. Privacy matters you know? Nowadays codes are easily hack as well."

Seuljae hummed as she finished her glass, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand before leaving once again.

"You promised me to let me see the design, Jae."

"Then come, slow poke."

"What?! You didn't even tell me that you wanted to show me!"

"What?! You didn't even tell me that you wanted to show me!"
