Guess who came for a visit?

He tapped on the steering wheel nervously, his teeth sinking into his lower lip as he waited for his target to step out of the hospital building. The dimly lit parking lot offered him a good cover. He should be able to accomplish tasks.

It had been a while since his last failed attempt and his boss was growing impatient. Ahn Heesung's frustration mounted with every passing day because this was supposed to be an easy kill. Only it wasn't.

His target was well protected. Fuck. After failing in his second attempt, he tried to come back again, only to find two men following Park Jimin discreetly. A few times, he managed to get Jimin without his guard dogs someone else was with him.

Last week at the market, he had a great chance but then he saw the women. Ugh! Why don't they leave him alone? The other day in the shopping mall, he found another chance but that was also ruined. Was it necessary to drag him along to the dressing room?

Heesung knew why this particular task was difficult. His boss wanted to avoid blood. Kill the target and make it look like an accident, which should have been a piece of cake. But this target had become a constant pain in his ass recently.

How the fuck did he survive the first time? He hit the steering wheel and tensed when his phone blared.

Heesung grimaced as he swiped his thumb across the screen, lifting the phone to his ear. "Boss," he breathed, trying to keep this calm demeanor.

"Tell me Heesung, why is the boy still breathing?"

"Give me some more time. I'll finish him."

"You had months to accomplish this simple task. Months," the boss hissed.

"He's not alone," he said quickly. "He's got security and the other time someone else is always with him."

"Security?"

"Y-yes. It has tightened after the last time. It's not easy to get closer."

Something broke in the background and Heesung flinched, glad that he wasn't there in person. "Did I hire you to tell me that you are unable to kill that stupid boy? He's a nobody. He has no one. You did this once. Make him disappear forever this time."

"He's not alone," Heesung found himself saying as he saw Park Jimin coming out of the building. The woman was with him again. Katy...that was her name. Jimin was laughing at something she said, leaning into her more as she wrapped a hand around his waist. "He's with his girlfriend."

They were always hanging out. Jimin always came here to pick her up after work. She drove him to a posh apartment in Hannam the Hill, spend a lot of time with him there before going her way. Sometimes they had two other women accompanying them. Day by day the crowd around Jimin only seem to grow and that made his job difficult. Someone was always with him.

"Girlfriend?" The other end went silent for a long moment. "He has a girlfriend?"

"Yes, girlfriend. I thought you knew. They created a stir with media last month," he stated as a matter-of-fact. His boss always kept a tab on the recent happenings. It wasn't just him working for him. The man had money and sources. That was why Heesung couldn't mess up. For all he knows, he could have ordered a bounty for his head and Heesung would never know.

His body suddenly grew tense when he saw them approaching. "He's here," he informed quickly. He switched the phone to Bluetooth mode as he got ready, eyes focused as he gripped the steering wheel, shifting the gear, ready to make his move. But something else happened simultaneously. A black car slid beside him, then two men stepped out of the shadows. Nothing was wrong about that in the eyes of a normal person, but he saw them for who they were. "Fuck! He's got company."
