"I think I'm getting close to figuring him out, or I think I'm getting close to him opening up to me, then he pushes me away, and I'm back to not understanding him again. I'm back to knowing nothing. It's like it doesn't matter what I do or I say, he doesn't trust me at all," Was the quiet words, spilled from the bounty hunter's lips. Uttering to the one knelt on the floor, "He feels like a needle in a haystack." Seungmin frowned, "More like a walking red flag, but potato patato, right?" A composed hitman that goes off like a firecracker. A bounty hunter with eyes that never see in front of him. Their one target: Seo Changbin, and an unexpected kidnapping that leaves them both cooperating on the hunt for their missing hit. It's not like being a high school teacher and a journalist pays all that well in this economy. In other words, Jisung and Minho are desperate to find Seo Changbin, before anyone else gets their hands on him. A bit of humor, a bit of angst, a bit of steam, and a bit of actionー They'll find Seo. Before anyone else does. Long chapters, Featuring: ᝰminsung ᝰseungjin ᝰsome light hyunin (if you squint) ᝰbatshit crazy yandere Felix ᝰmaknae on top woahhh woah-oh-oh ▄︻デ══━一BANGᝰ.ᐟˎˊ˗

In Bulrim, the age of gods, of dragons, is said to have ended long ago. The rivers still flow, the dawn still rises, but the dragons who once shaped them are nothing more than stories murmured by firelight and tales kept in faded scrolls in the elder's homes. Felix has never believed in the old legends. His life is measured in ink strokes and quiet days, the taut draw of a bow and hunts for food to put on everyone's table, his future set in a marriage that promises stability where prayers are meaningless and survival is counted by hours. Yet when whispers of fire and ruin reach the village, the old words begin to feel heavier than mere myth. If the stories are only stories, why does the world seem as though it is waking? In which an orphan who has no reason to believe in the old gods is the first to find one. ꧁⎝ 𓆩༺ ༗༻𓆪 ⎠꧂

Hyunjin and Jisung work part-time at a popular coffeehouse on their university's campus. It's a pleasant job, quiet most of the day (Until exam season, then it's always filled), and perfect for the pair of friends. When a new transfer student pops into the coffeehouse for a coffee, Hyunjin and Jisung both get the same idea: 1. Woo the new kid. 2. Get a date. 3. Prevent my best friend from doing it before I can. A.K.A: Hyunsung embarrassing each other and themselves for 20 chapters until they confess their feelings

You have one (1) new email! ----- From: Dr. C. Bang (ASF Team 3 Lead) To: ASF Team 3 Operative Staff Subject: Monday Morning Notes & Reminders Dear Team 3, Hope everyone had a restful weekend (or at least a less-eventful one). A few notes from last week: 1. We've confirmed the coffee machine has achieved sentience following Friday's power surge. Please do not antagonize it. Yes Minho, this includes sarcastic comments. Additionally, the elevator now only moves sideways. Maintenance is aware. In the meantime, use the stairs or lean with intent. 2. Someone (Changbin) keeps leaving the refrigerator door open. Please double-check seals in the future! 3. This is your biweekly reminder that Floor 15 remains inaccessible. If you find yourself near it, please stop. If you find yourself on it, REPORT IMMEDIATELY!! Seungmin, that PSA is for YOU. 4. Please log hours for Friday! Yes, Friday did not occur. However, the director insists that timesheets be filled out. Probably around 8 hours, make something up, and I'll sign off on it. Hyunjin, please write 16 since you slipped through the vortex. Let's have a productive week. If we all do our jobs, we can get home faster. "Getting lost in sub-spacial parallel universes" is not an excuse for not filing paperwork on time, Jeongin. Best, Dr. C. Bang ASF Team 3 Lead In which dealing with unexplained phenomenon is a government sanctioned job and they do NOT pay Hyunjin enough for this shit. A supernatural comedy Feat. ☣️ Hyunjin x Jeongin x Changbin ☣️ never dated but already ex's 2min ☣️ The receptionist do kinda be cute though (it's jisung. hes clueless.) ☣️ Goop. ☣️ Why does Chan grimace like he's in pain every time we talk to him?
