Gods and Demon Assassins

4. Reunited with the squad

LISA

"Where were you?" Jisoo asks as soon as I sat down between her and IU inside our first class.

"Somewhere." I deadpanned and side glanced at Jisoo which made me frown when I saw her face. "You should've stayed home until you got better."

"Lisa, I've been an assassin before, remember? This is just scratch." She said smugly and I couldn't disagree more, being an assassin means we need to be unbothered about little wounds, life of an assassin isn't really that easy, especially if you were working for Demons.

"But seriously, Lisa. Where have you been?" IU asks again, she surely won't stop until they know where I've been since I decided to leave early and left Jisoo alone in my apartment.

"I just dropped by Bambam's store to check his new items." I lied and they seems to believe me as they nodded their heads.

As I've said, it was a fucking lie because the truth is, I followed Jennie and Nayeon this morning, don't ask me why, because even myself couldn't understand my fucking self why I followed them.

It's just that, I seemed to have a crush on that cat-like eyed girl from the moment I saw her in front of my door. I have never seen a girl like her so beautiful and cute at the same time and I want to pinch her puffy cheeks.

I followed them from the moment they stepped out from their apartment, watching them from afar, until I had to wait for them to leave the registrar room. But to my dismay, Taehyung and his group bumped into them. I wasn't supposed to show myself at that time but when I saw that no one helped Nayeon to stand up, my blood started to boil and I reached out my hand for my friend.

Those guys are really getting on my nerves since they've hurt Jisoo but I couldn't do anything about them because I know that I can't kill them because Jiyong won't allow me. 

I told you, Jiyong is really different from a Demon Lord. He doesn't want me to kill anyone as long as it has nothing to do with my job. He only allows us to fight back, but killing? No, he was so against it, so IU and I always settled with beating our opponents if they were not our target.

But having a crush on someone that I don't even know in the first place, seems to be so stupid idea and the fact that I'm a demon assassin and killing people is the only way for me to survive in this cruel land. Would she like me back? I doubt it.

I released a lungful sigh and sulk on my seat, putting the hood in my head to hide my face and let out another sigh.

"Yow, were you spirited away or something?" Jisoo asked, whispering softly on my side.

"Yeah, why are you dispirited all of a sudden?" IU asked and removed the hood in my head. "Did something occur on your way?"

"Nah.. I was just thinking about my target." I lied again. 

"Your target?" Jisoo asked and it seems that I fully got her attention now and she stirred her body to face me. "What's wrong with your target?"

"Would you believe that Lisa's target is the daughter of the strongest deity?" IU answered for myself.

"Oh wow? What was Jiyong thinking?" Jisoo said in disbelief.

"The daughter ran away but Lisa doesn't even have any idea what she looks like and where she is right now." 

"Oh? Is this why the weather now is so gloomy because the Deity is mad and why would she not know her face?" Jisoo asked again and looked at me after she remembered that I was literally sitting between them but they were talking as if I'm not exist at all. "You were from heaven right? Then why–."
