chapter 7

    "How long do you think it's been since he got laid?" Hyunjin could hear Seungmin murmur amusedly to Jeongin behind him.

    They were on the top of a building in Italy, the assassin seated in his position with the rifle inbetween his hands while his eyes scrutinized the alley below carefully as he searched for his victim. An earpiece laid in the shell of his ear while his eyes were concentrated through the scope as they danced on every part of the narrow alley. Breeze blew in his face, causing his light brown hair strands to dance in the wind, bothering the man's vision.

    "Yeah, he's usually so calm." Jeongin agreed with his friend, causing Hyunjin to clench his jaw and tighten his grip around the metallic object in his hands at his friends' derogatory tones.

    "I'm right here, guys. I can hear you, you know?" He growled under his breath, screeching his teeth together as he tried to focus on his assignment. Hyunjin dug a hand in his hair, pushing it back from his eyes before he placed his eye on the scope again.

    The two only snickered behind him in response before returning to their usual gossip. Jeongin remained in a standing position, his silhouette uneasy as he subtly looked around a few times. It seems like ever since they arrived here, he's been very skeptical of his surroundings and not in his usual confident mood.

    "Kang Dae said the victim will be in sight in two minutes. Be prepared." Minho ordered Hyunjin in his earpiece, causing the man to focus his vision better in the scope, his body lowering slightly and his muscles contracting.

    While Hyunjin stood in silence on the edge of the building, camouflaged in sight and concentrated on the door of the Casino opening, he heard small new steps making their way toward him.

    "Hyune-" The deep whiny voice rung in his ears, causing a familiar boiling feeling to form in his veins at the sound.

    "Not now, Felix." He sighed out with a growl as his eyes at last fell on his victim, relief washing over him. He just had to shoot him in the head now. If he could only concentrate...

    "But-" The blonde was interrupted by the loud booming sound of the rifle as it released the bullet toward its destination.

    One shot. One kill.

    Felix flinched at the sound, his entire posture becoming rigid for a second as he stared at Hyunjin who spent a few last moments staring at his work, admiring it. Suddenly, commotion started happening beneath the assassin's eyes, something glinting in them as a smirk tugged at his lips. He loved his work's outcome. Everybody gathered around the American gangster that he just took out, people panicking and talking into their phones as they started agitating.

"Well, looks like my work is done here." Hyunjin murmured satisfied with a hum before he elegantly rose to his slender legs and padded away resembling an exquisite cat. "Come on, boys."

Though, it looks like his call didn't work on Jeongin who stood still like a ghost on the building roof, his eyes glazed into oblivion as he seemed drowned in thought. Seungmin sat down beside him and shook him a little as he tried talking to him, before the youngest seemed to snap out of his trance and nod repeatedly, as if to reassure himself.

At the same time, Felix seemed to find his way under Hyunjin's arm, glueing his petite body next to his muscles as he snuggled like a kitten under the mama bird's wing.

Hyunjin's attention from Jeongin was broken at the action, causing the puzzle in his stare to be replaced by annoyance as it fell on the boy beneath him.
