Cold Blooded. ITZY Yeji x Male Reader. [Completed]

How it started.

One's POV

"You all will never know what it's like! All of you selfish bastards! My old man was right, the world's too rotten to fix." Z's worlds filled the room with such unease feeling.

The room went silent as me and Mr. Hwang was the only one to see the intensity in Z's resolve. I've seen him lose his temper but this is different. The amount of emotion he's showing is really something else.

"You want the truth?" He looked at me and I just stared at him.

Z's POV

[Flashback]

I never would've thought I'll make it this far. After leaving the house with a vow to right this wicked world with my hands. I decided to do everything in order to achieve my goal. I got picked up and trained by mercenaries who saw potential in me.

I worked my ass off. Day in and day out I never missed a day of training, until I got trusted with my first mission. When I heard it was an associate of some loanshark. I immediately accepted it without asking for any more information. 

I couldn't be more pumped up but I remember my training and decided to keep my composure. Everything was about to be perfect until my handler hit me with a news that, I will be accompanied by 2 other trainees.

It got me scratching my head, confused at what might be a hindrance to the success of this mission but then it hit me, remembering mom's wish.

"I'd like to see you with a friend someday." Her words echoed in my head and got me thinking maybe this is an opportunity.

A text alerted me that the 2 trainees will be here soon. I got nervous being not used to interacting with a person without any hostility. The only exceptions are Mom and the mercenary that took me in. 

Footsteps approached me in my hiding spot and whispered the phrase confirming that they're the trainees. I looked towards them and I got surprised, 'they're the same age as me.' I debrief both of them and they just confidently nodded. 

I got confused at how laidback they are. They're actually playing instead of focusing on the mission. Despite the light mood, I still manage to get nervous seeing how in just a few minutes I'll be working along side with these people.

"Hey, you have a name?" The guy with a orange colored hair asked and I shook my head. 

"That's mean, we should come up with code names shouldn't we?" The other guy actually caught me off guard as he placed his arm around my neck.

"I-... uh..." It seems like I'm tongue-tied.

"It shouldn't be long, but it also should be unique." The oranged colored guy proposed and the other guy just nodded as they both looked at me for answers.

"Y-yeah." Was all the answer I managed to squeeze out.

"A, B, C?" They both laughed at the suggestion of the orange haired guy.

"X, Y, Z?" Both of them stopped laughing and looked at each other before nodding.

"I'll be X. Since I'm the best marksman here." X suggested and the oranged colored guy just shrugged.

"Can't argue with that, I'll be Y then since my name actually has it." Y claimed as he and X looked at me.

"Z!" They both looked at me and I just smiled.

The light mood suddenly got lifted when the buzzer from the alarm sounds, signalling that the operation is about to start. All three of us took our position, quickly moving in as the operation is on the way.
