· You were a member of the X, a secret division of the 101 that handled extortion and assassination of high-up government officials

· Obviously, as it was part of the secret division, you couldn't even tell anybody who worked for the 101, let alone your kind boyfriend, Donghyun

· however, lately, he'd been acting super suspicious

· He'd get home late, would be super protective over his belongings, never letting you wash his clothing without him going through the pockets and such first

· It made you worried, but when you'd revealed your worries to your friends, they traded worried looks and informed you that Donghyun was definitely cheating

· You confronted him about his strange behavior multiple times, but he'd never tried to defend himself or actually explain himself, just telling you not to worry about it, that he loved you

· That night, when you got home, you found one of his shirts with a dark red smudge on it that looked almost like lipstick

· When you sniffed the shirt, your blood ran cold at the scent of a female perfume

· -"(y/n)?" Donghyun had finished showering, and met your eyes, you holding the shirt up.

· -"Donghyun, we're through," you said quietly, going over to the closet and grabbing your suitcase, "I can't do this anymore, I can't do this secrecy, the untruthfulness. I'm done, Donghyun."

· "(y/n)," Donghyun said, tears pricking in his eyes, you know how much I care about you."

· "And I love you too," you replied, meeting his eyes squarely, "but ultimately, my happiness comes first, and this relationship isn't what it used to be."

· at first, Donghyun had tried to stop you, but as you collected your shampoo and conditioner from the bathroom, he seemed resigned, like he'd accepted what was happening

· if anything, that infuriated you more

· As you stormed out of the apartment, dragging your bags behind you as you flagged down a taxi, you couldn't help but wonder if you'd really made the right decision

· that night, your kill for the X was a lot more bloody than usual

· Back at the apartment, Donghyun was sobbing, feeling an intense array of emotions that he couldn't quite place

· He looked into the mirror of your–his– bathroom, eyes puffy, his fingers running over the tattoo of the 101, the tattoo and the life he'd tried so hard to keep you away from without hurting you– he'd only partially succeeded

· A few months passed after the intense breakup

· You were gloomy for a week, barely dragging yourself to work and then collapsing in bed, crying yourself to sleep

· However, you soon realized that you weren't helping anyone– especially yourself– and even if you were hurting in the short term, it was the best long-term decision

· You threw yourself into work for the X, successfully pulling off a major scheme against a powerful politician to cut funds drastically from the Special and Organized Crimes Unit of the police department, which would largely benefit the 101

· Lately, SVT, a low-level gang in the area, had been acting out, worrying the higher-ups

· The X was assigned to steal a huge shipment of ammo that SVT was routing out of the country, and a loss that large would be a huge hit to SVT's capabilities
