The thought of the boy kept bugging her as she sat on the couch while staring at the TV screen, drifting off to her thoughts from time to time.
The boy was no where to be found.
All she really knew of him was his name along with the very unusual job of his.
The job of being a trained killer wanted by the authorities surely didn't make finding him any easier for the girl.

Minji sat up from the couch to head towards the window before sliding the curtains open slightly to see outside.
She kept trying to glance at the rooftop to see if the boy could be seen peeking over the edge while aiming at a new target.
However, she didn't catch a glimpse of him like she hadn't on the previous nights either.
The girl felt like he was avoiding her.

It's not like they were close or even considered friends.
The boy was only sparking her interest as she found him extremely intriguing while his mysterious aura only added to her curiousity.
She wanted to know him.
She wanted to learn about his unusual lifestyle.

Minji's life wasn't anywhere near as wild as the boy's.
She was on her senior year of high school, which she had spent most of at home.
The girl didn't think education to be important.
It was only a waste of time as she didn't want to pursue in a career in the future.
Seeing her brother being forced to take the resbonsibility of a large business and having witnessed him slowly losing his energy and happiness by it only pushed her further away from the idea of working.
She wanted to live an adventurous and free life without worries of the world around her.
She believed the boy to be her key to achieving that, and she wasn't going to give up on her plan.

Minji grabbed her belongings before heading out of the door to take a walk outside.
She hoped to find the boy wandering on the streets but luck hadn't been on her side on the earlier nights either.

She made her way towards a small store across the street to grab something to eat on her walk.
Just as she was about to open the door she noticed a familiar figure wandering through the aisles before grabbing a drink.
She grimaced at the boy's choice of Red Bull before quickly jumping behind the wall to hide herself from him as he was leaving the store.

She held her breath as she watched the boy taking a turn to the right before disappearing behind the wall.
A risky thought made its way to her mind as her curiousity took over.
She slowly made her way to peek in the boy's direction to see where he was headed.
She cursed under her breath for her own nosiness before shamelessly starting to follow the boy through the dark streets.

She made sure to keep a distance to not seem suspicious as the boy kept walking further to a smaller street where no cars drove by.
The boy suddenly stopped before quickly looking around him causing the girl to jump behind a wall to hide herself.
Minji held her breath while praying the boy hadn't seen or heard her behind him.
The boy's steps could soon be heard again as the girl slowly peeked at him before continuing to follow his route.

After a while the boy finally stopped in front of a building before checking his surroundings as he fiddled with the keys.
He entered the building making the girl panic before she quickly ran to the door to grab the handle just as it was about to close.

She slowly opened the door before entering a pitch black room as the silence made her shiver out of the growing fear.
Suddenly the door was slammed shut before she could feel someone from behind holding her in a tight grip with their hand around her upper body while their heavy breaths brushed against her neck.
