Summary:
Joonghyuk had been watching the low level salary man named Kim Dokja for a week already and he was very sure of one thing: this man sucked at life.

He would only eat the bare minimum, and even then it was all unhealthy food, and he didn’t sleep properly, staying up late reading web novels. He didn’t even dress properly, those ill fitting suits were doing nothing for the man’s lithe and slender body. It had only taken two days for such thoughts to start appearing in Joonghyuk’s mind and by the end of the week he was obsessed with the man. Mind you, such a job requires a certain level of obsession and attentenivness when learning about the entire life of a person but this—this was different.

Or

Assassin Yoo Joonghyuk is hired to kill low ranking salary man named Kim Dokja because he saw incriminating documents on his bosses desk. However instead of killing Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk falls in love.

Work Text:
In this life, Joonghyuk was an assassin. He was the best assassin in the entire world and now at this point in his career as a killer, he could pick and choose which jobs he wanted to take on. His time and skills were highly sought after, and they came at an egregiously high price, so much so, that only the filthy rich could afford him. One job usually netted him enough money to live the high life for multiple years. Of course, he never bothered to take such long breaks in between jobs, so he had acquired quite the pile of wealth.

His current job was to take out a low ranking salary man. The man wasn’t his usual kind of target—normally offing cartel bosses, politicians and the wealthy elite—but apparently the salary man had seen some important and incriminating documents on his boss’s table. His boss along with four others who could be incriminated by the evidence, managed to pool enough money to acquire Joonghyuk’s services.

Anyone who actually understood the art of assassination knew that completing a kill took time. It’s what separated them from common thugs or mobsters who left far too much evidence. Joonghyuk took his time learning everything about his targets: their routine, their family, their friends, and anyone else they were connected too, what they ate, when they slept, any personal dispute or views, and much much more. The type of killing technique depended on the type of person after all. An unlikable bastard with many personal feuds, meant he could frame the kill on someone else. A person known for spending time in remote locations meant either an animal attack or accident. An over worker who spent far too much time in the office could be framed as having a heart attack. Whether it be poison, a hand gun, a sniper shot, sabotage, or his bare hands, the way he killed his targets depended on the individual.

He would only eat the bare minimum, and even then it was all unhealthy food, and he didn’t sleep properly, staying up late reading web novels. He didn’t even dress properly, those ill fitting suits were doing nothing for the man’s lithe and slender body.

Mind you, such a job requires a certain level of obsession and attentenivness when learning about the entire life of a person but this—this was different.

Joonghyuk tried to suppress his thoughts, attempting to keep his mind focused in a more profession manner, but soon he found himself photographing Kim Dokja’s life in an indecent and unprofessional way. After the second week he had an entire hoard of photos of Kim Dokja: Kim Dokja eating a cream bun and getting white cream on his lips, Kim Dokja bending over, Kim Dokja slurping up hot noodles that made his lips turn red. He couldn’t stop. He needed more of them. But regardless of his unusual focus on the man, he still had a job to do. The photos would be a nice momento.
