Perhaps It's a Mistake - Ryeji

6-9

Every " -- " is a chapter break. I'm too lazy to make each chapter again, so I split it into two because I can't fit all 30k+ words in one chapter. It's a long, but easy read, apologizing for typos ahead of time. Unfortunately, because I copied and pasted it from my archive the italics, bold, all the fancy stuff isn't here. If you want that effect, just read it on my ao3.. There's some gxg and explicit sexual content as well as graphic depections of violence. Read at your discretion.

Do you ever find yourself so infatuated with something you cannot look away? You can't understand how something so common could be so rare?

That was Yeji when she awoke to the sight of Ryujin. She seemed just like everyone else, just a girl living a normal life. It's easy to convince people of it, Yeji would know. But at the same time she's just so incredibly different. The blonde was an assassin, an assassin that Yeji could easily tell was desensitized to some things. Which, Yeji, being the analytical person she is, could use to assume some other things about her that had a high percentage of being true.

For example, she most likely started at a young age to be this emotionally damaged. Taught at a young age such feeling was normal, so in turn, it is her normal. Which could mean she was apart of something that may not be legal. Or, she was already damaged in the head, had some kind of trauma or was just downright psychologically disturbed. So many things ran through the orange-haireds head and all she had to do was look at the blonde to think of it all. What kind of common person can make you do that? Make your head swirl as if a tornado was throwing scraps of ideas at you. Still, Yeji found it alluring. She wondered if one day she'd ever solve Ryujin. Figure out everything about her. She wanted to.

She wanted to learn everything even if it scared her. And she wanted to kiss her at the same time. It was all very confusing, but such confusion made it all the better. Maybe she was a bit messed up to. Nobody wanted a challenge that took no deep thought or twists. She'd come to learn Ryujin sure was a twist, eventually...

"You don't have to stare her down so intensely, Hwang." Chaeryeong's voice was like a jump-scare. The orange-haired flinched and probably awoke the blonde by doing so. The other giggled.

"What happened last night? If you don't mind me asking, I saw you two on the news but I doubt it's accurate. You know how news is." Chaeryeong continued, looking at the bandage over part of Ryujin's arm. Yeji leaned up off of the blonde who was still soundly sleeping. Poor girl must be tired, Yeji thought.

"She saved my life at a party. She shot someone who was going to kill me." Yeji spoke, replying the event in her head. It was going so well, all until Ryujin completely stopped her near orgasm and shoved her to the side.

"That's. Wow. I didn't know Ryujin could-"

"She also told me she's an assassin. That his assassin team wanted her help murdering me." Yeji ruffled her hair, seeing Chaeryeong grow visibly nervous.

"She's an assassin? I had no idea oh my god-" Chaeryeong was trying, really.

"If he had a team, I'm sure Ryujin does too. I'm not stupid you know. I'm sure you and Yuna are both apart of her team, no?" Yeji smirked when she saw Chaeryeong nod in shame.

"You're taking all this surprisingly well." Chaeryeong picked up the empty beer bottle to dispose it.

"I guess I'm damaged too. But when you grow up learning how to ignore emotions for the sake of business, things like this don't really scar like they should. In a way, I suppose that's good." Yeji said, knowing she couldn't afford to get therapy, as it'd interfere with her work.

"Did Ryujin tell you anything else?" Chaeryeong needed to make sure their cover wasn't blown. Someone as rich and powerful as Yeji could easily bring them down perhaps.
