author’s note:: I RE EDITED IT HOPEFULLY ITS BETTER AND EASIER TO READ NOW 🧍🏻‍♀️

there he lies, right beside you. he looked miserable with swollen blood-red eyes and dark circles, his cheeks were tear-stained he had marks supposedly hickies all over his neck. Despite being his assistant and manager, you had no idea what he does or where he goes after 7 PM but always received a message from him after 11 PM to either pick him up from a random club or open the door because he was freezing, despite you never wanting to you always do let him in. I mean why won't you? He kept you accompanied through your lonely apartment. This was another reason you had a small minimalistic apartment you didn't want to feel lonely.

Sunghoon on the other hand had broken up with his girlfriend of two years, Hyun-hee. You weren't sure why would anyone ever leave this perfect man? But who were you to say anything throughout the following 3 months Sunghoon continued to vent to you about his now ex but never mentioned the real reason why they fell apart. Regardless you comforted him and let him stay. Enhypen's manager never really minded him staying with you as long as you both did everything behind the scenes and Sunghoon was never late for his schedules. It led to the point you knew his smell, the time he'll text you and what his comfort foods were, can we say the same about Sunghoon knowing you? I guess not but the way Sunghoon would sometimes snuggle close to you deep in his sleep it made you think if you guys were just friends or more?

Back to the present, your alarm rang waking Sunghoon up while you keep staring at his neck about the hickies or scars. "Is something wrong?" the boy asked rubbing his eyes while sitting up. "N-no you should freshen up and return to the dorms I'll drive you there" he only nodded in response and walked towards the washroom. You on the other hand just sat on the bed in denial you didn't know how to feel you knew this needed to stop before you grew more attached but you couldn't just run away.

After dropping Sunghoon at the dorms, Heeseung began to approach you "Shall we go?" the black-headed guy asked politely, "Huh?" "Oh did Jihun (manager) Hyung not inform you?" you were beyond confused when you suddenly received the message from Jihun himself.

From Jihun (Manager-nim)

> YN! You have to take care of Heeseung's schedule as Nayeon is not well and I'm busy.

*sends schedule planner*

"YN you're still here?" Sunghoon's voice returns you to Earth "Oh.. Manager Jihun just texted me, I have to take care of Heeseung's schedule as his manager is sick and your schedule is empty today" YN said "Oh ok" he said almost upset. As you were about to leave with Heeseung, Sunghoon suddenly hugged you, "don't get too close with Heeseung I'll miss you" that somehow gave you butterflies even though this was a common skinship between the both of you, maybe his words were doing the effect but why did he even tell you to be careful of Heeseung? He seemed amazing even though you didn't know him that much. You quickly hugged him back and started walking with Heeseung beside you as it must've been awkward for him.

You start the car and start driving to a studio where he is supposed to record a song cover "Off my face" by Justin Beiber, it was probably coincidental that you absolutely love that song and you were pretty excited to hear him sing it. He was extremely polite and both of you made some small talk, you were mostly closest to the maknae line and of course Sunghoon so it felt awkward at first. "Soo.. it seems that you and Sunghoon are pretty close are you guys.." "FRIENDS! yes ah-hah! " you say it in the most unconvincing way but he seems to believe it for the time being while you apologize for being loud he laughs it off and switches the topic as he could see you were quite uncomfortable. Soon enough you both arrived "Do you want to come inside?" He asked while taking the bag he decided to carry after losing his only AirPods that were in his pockets "Am I allowed to?" you ask while unbuckling the seatbelt. And here you are staring at his face while listening to his angelic vocals he maintained eye contact with you looking at the camera from time to time but looking at you as well. It somehow gives you butterflies even if you didn't know him that well. He stared at you throughout the "In love with you" part and you wouldn't lie, you felt yourself felt.

After finishing his schedule with him and dropping him off at the dorms, you went back home and decided to scroll through your notifications and schedules, it was 10:57 PM you knew he'd dm you anytime now but to your surprise, he didn't?it shocked you but you shrugged it off and just thought maybe he won't come today? even if it was unusual..

*ring ring* the bell rang as YN got up to open the door. "Open up I know you're awake," He said as if he'd breakdown any moment in a drunk as fuck voice. You open the door and he crashes down on you, completely hugging you with both of his arms and keeping his head in your nape taking in your fresh smell. "why would she leave me, was I not enough" he said in a droopy sad voice almost falling down as you carry him to sit on your couch and continue comforting him till 1 AM or until he was asleep, yes you took care of him you knew he deserved better, you just wanted him to feel loved.You took a closer look at his state, his hair looked freshly washed and fluffy eventhough it was messy, it looked as if he washed up and then went to the club, why? you'll never understand this man.he still had the scars from yesterday and maybe more? or were you just seeing things? Either way you made sure to comfort him and made him feel loved, he always appreciated these actions towards him and would often cry and tell you how much he appreciates it, you really love his vulnerable side but t hurts you to see his tears sometimes.

You woke up feelings entangled in the sheets with another figure in your bed, that being sung hoon, you brushed hair off of his face when he started to wake up thanks to the sun being brighter than usual because you didn't pull the curtains, he holds you tighter in his embrace as he whispers a quite good morning and thank you for last night, that was enough to make you melt. If anyone saw you both in this state, they'd most probably think you both are dating, you both cuddled for a while before the blonde head spoke up again "how was it with Heeseung? Did he say anything? you thought for a while before shaking your head and said "just small talk and.." "and?" "nothing that special" you lied but you didn't want to make things awkward so that's how it was before you tried to get up but sat down again when Sunghoon pulled you towards him, he held you close to his chest you could hear his heart beating and he probably could too considering how fast your heart was beating.

"Let's cuddle for a while," he said in his deep morning voice which you were used to, he snuggled closer to your neck while you couldn't even move. "Y-you have to mc today r-remember?" you mentally curse yourself for stuttering. He groans but lets you go, you exhale as you both freshen up and you decide to drive him back to the dorms, he adjusts himself in the passengers' seat as you began to drive. "I'm sorry for yesterday, I wanted to spend some time with you yesterday but-" you cut him off, "it's fine" you feel him smile through the corner of your eyes as he reaches down to your hand gently squeezing it. These small interactions meant a lot to you as they made you feel wanted. You loved it. You loved him.

As you reached the dorms, Jihun informed you that you had to take care of Heeseung's schedule today as well even if you were aSunghoon's manager, the reason was obvious. Netizens were making rumors about Sunghoon and you dating, you were pretty enough to be an idol so speculations were that you're a trainee dating him so it was understandable what Jihun was trying to do but Sunghoon was definitely not pleased but you didn't mind because you were comfortable enough around him.

The whole day was fun with Heeseung , after finishing his photoshoot he took you to a cafe and now you both were sitting on a hill just looking at Seoul from afar. Sunghoon and Heeseung were different, extremely different. While you mostly had home "dates" with Sunghoon, Heeseung took you around the city into places you never even saw or knew. Both of them were equally fun.

Heeseung broke the comforting silence with his question "Soo YN.. were you raised in Seoul?" you just dryly chuckle "No... but I always wondered how it'd be to live in Seoul and that's how i ended up here, I'm from a small island beside Jeju I came to Seoul to become a therapist or psychiatrist but I guess some dreams don't come true" you looked down and brought your knees to your chest. "Why did you suddenly become a manager, I mean it is something comepletely different from a therapist or medical field " he asked again "Mm.. I dont know.. it was because of my mother, my studies were going well until she fell sick and needed money for her medicines so I just took a job that I found" you suddenly chuckle feeling chilled by the weather, "Is she still?..." you shake your head "no.. I lost her" you say, your eyes now getting glossy. Heeseung got closer and hugged you tight "It's not your fault, you tried and id everything you could. I'm so sorry" You started crying pathetically in his embrace hugging him back, you lost your mother recently yet tried being strong, nobody had comforted you like this. None of your relatives lived with you so you kept blaming yourself. The night went on by you explaining on how alone you feel in this city and how Seoul wasn't the place for you. This felt different, new and you liked it. Sunghoon normally talked about his feelings to you and you never really minded because you wanted to protect and love him but you didn't kow how it felt to recieve the same love. Until tonight.

It soon got pretty late and you drove Heeseung to his apartment instead of the dorm as most of them were with their familes or in their apartments. You realised that the key normally stays with his manager who was sick or Jihun, Heeeng had called Jihun but he wasn't picking up. You couldn't just leave him. "YN? If you want you can go home, I'll just stay at a hotel." he said breaking your thoughts. "No no what if sasaengs find you? How about you just stay at my house for tonight?" you don't know why you suddenly said that but you guess you didn't mind his presence anymore.

"I'll sleep on the couch" you offer and bring out a pillow from your bedroom buut he snatches it from you and says "I don't want to bother you so I'll just sleep on the couch" "No what are you saying I can't do that to a guest" You say snatching ng the pillow back and it suddenly becomes a pillow tugging competition to a pillow fight. It looked like as if you both were kids but you needed to get revenge on him for hitting you on the head with the pillow. After a while of messing around you began "Okay let's just sleep on the same bed but put pillows in the middle is that okay?"you said exhausted and out of breath. THere is no way any of you would fit in your small couch so Heeseung just agreed.

Instead of sleeping you both just talked about random stuff, how Heeseung became a trainee, if you had any siblings, music taste and anything till 4 in the morning when Heeseung heard snores while he was explaing his childhood talent show. He surely adored your sleeping face and fell asleep watching you.

You had woken up to your alarm and so had Heeseung, after turning off the alarm you couldn't help but laugh at how cute Heeseung looked . "Why what's wrong?" he asked rubbing his eyes "nothing you look adorable, you can go freshen up first then i'll drive you to the dorms" he just smiled and got up unlike sunghoon who would want to sleep 10 minutes more. As you said, you dropped him off at the dorms and went to Jihun's office.

Even if you didn't say or show it you were worried about what Sunghoon did after 7 PM and so by giving the excuse of 'forgetting his schedule' you asked Jihun where he went. "Oh? you don't know? he goes to the club and then a hotel as his schedule stays empty after mc'ing." Oh. It all made sense now, all those 'scars' him always coming after showering and drunk with the smell of women's cheap perfume. But why were you feeling like this? It's not like you both were dating or anything even jf you did confess? he had rejected you. You couldn't believe it. You thought he would've moved on. You knew you weren't the only one feeling this.

"Hyung? Where have you been?" Sunghoon asked the older boy, he didn't know if he should say that he spend the night at the house of his member's 'friend' or crush but he couldn't lie to him either. "At YN's place as we forgot the keys to my apartment" he said calmly, "Oh? so that's why she didn't call me?" the older one just sighed "Sunghoon you cant expect her to only run behind you, I know you love her you should just tell her.. stop going behind her back and doing shit how would she feel if she found out?" Sunghoon just scoffed "You should be the last person to tell me this after sleeping over at her place" he said slowly getting heated up, thankfully none of the members were home, Jake, Jay and Niki were recording while Sunoo and Jungwon were at their radio show."You don't own her, I'm not here to argue about her, just stop and confess to her before she finds out herself" he tried to be calm "Hyung you don't need to tell me what to do, I know her well enough to know what to do to win her over" he said ready to walk out when- "know he?" he laughs in between before continuing " do you even know what she was going through these few months when her mother died? No, youre to hung up on Hyunhee just give YN a chance stop fucking around." Heeseung snaps back before going to his room.

Sunghoon was speechless but still mad and possibly jealous over the fact that you let Heeseng stay over so he went to meet Jihun to ask why you hadn't come yet. "Oh YN, she took a break for a week" he said before going back into a phone call about a new brand deal while Sunghoon stood confused "why would you suddenly take a break?" Completing his schedule faster than usual he drives to your place, t was 6 PM a lot eralier than he usually would come, it was raining heavily so the sky was dark already. He had a bad feeling but he had to confront you, maybe even tell his feelings like Heeseung adviced?

He twisted the door knob and surprisingly it was unlock but that wasn't more shocking than what he saw inside, you were blankly staring at the city infront of you through the window of your living room with a cigarette between your hand. "Since when did you smoke and let guys I didn't want you to be with come in your house?" you flinched but turned to face him and stood up, "Since when did you start coming so early, are you done fucking your hoes in a hotel?" you spoke quieter, looking at him with glossy eyes. "Answer the questio- YN what?" he said quite shook and taken aback by what you said.

"Tell me what youre doing on the other side." you start backing up "YN-" 'Just tell me what youre doing with those other girls!" you spoke through your tears "Tell me why youre always wasted when we talk, tell me why you only remember my name in the mornings..." "YN no listen to me I love yo-" he tries grabbing your hand but you back away, both of you pathetically crying now. "Running in circles now look what you've done... I trusted you.. and what the hell are we? tell me we werent just friends? this doesn't make no sense!" you said gripping your hair "YN I really do love you I didn't mean to- " he fell down on his knees "You said youre not ready.. I was waiting for you to move on, only to find out I'm the rebound" you laugh bitterly "YN No- please give me a chance..-" you pointed at the door "leave." he seemed shocked "Y-YN no youre not fine I can't leave." you only laughed "I'll be fine without you babe"

That's when he realised he had completely losed you..

after he felt, you decided to call heeseung

"YN? What's wrong?"

"H-hee please come ove-over"

He left.. again. like everyone does you were shaken up. The only person who gave you their attention was Sunghoon, despite not saying anything he made you feel special. you had confessed your feelings to him once and he said he needed time. what has this led to. I should've known. "YN?" Heeseung came in, he seemed shocked at your state. You were shaking a thrown cigarette on the floor while your hair was a mess, tears kept streaming down your face. He ran up to you taking you in his embrace, he didnt want someone so precious in this much pain. It hurt him too. "W-why did h-he even give m-me ho-hope?- if h-he want-ted something e-else" you spoke in broken words but Heeseng understood, he figured you found out what Sunghoon had been doing. "Shh.. it's okay you deserve better calm down" he rocked you back and forth before you calmed down just softly crying in his embrace.

You were on his lap while he held you protectively in his arms. "I know this isn't the right time but, I -I just want you to know I'm here for you.. I probably haven't loved you as long as sunghoon did but if you give me a chance i promise I'd never let you go.." Before you could say anything he attached his soft lips on yours, you didn't kiss him back. You were too taken aback. He soon detached his lips from you and said "I get it if you don't want this I'm still with you" He hugged you tighter before you spoke up "I n-need you too Heeseung but please let me heal before I trust you again.."

"I'll help you heal" He said before you fell asleep, tired from heartbreak and love yet being comforted by the person who you'll soon start loving.

you maybe truly will be fine without him

6:38PM you were coming home from work, your boyfriend, Sunghoon had his friends over and when you arrived you greeted them before heading to the bedroom to do some work.

A bit later, you walked over to the kitchen to get a glass of water and surprisingly none of them heard you. You were quiet, I guess.

You sipped on your water before hearing laughs, you smiled knowing your boyfriend was having fun but then you heard him talking about you…

Sunghoon was your first boyfriend, neither of you were very affectionate nor clingy, you both liked space every once in a while. You had never gotten super intimate either. Just kisses, hugs, sometimes a make out here and there. Well, you had only been together for about 5-6 months. You both decided to be patient with each other and respect each other's choices.

You had never thought you could be insecure about something like this but you officially were when you heard what joked to his friends about.

“Ya, me a y/n are doing great! The only thing that I haven’t gotten used to is how she kisses...It’s kind of weird.” He jokes.

“Weird how?” His older friend, Jay asked.

“Not like simple peck and stuff, like a full kiss. She just not experienced enough with that I guess…” he shrugged.

Experienced enough?

“I’m sure she tries.” One of his other friends, Jungwon says in a sweet yet pitiful voice.

“Ya, don’t be to hard on her for it, I’m sure she hasn’t noticed how you felt about it” Jake says.

He shrugs once again.

You stood there in disbelief. Yes, you were hurt by his words, but more of the fact he was joking about it to his friends especially.

Also knowing that he wasn’t satisfied with how you kiss made you insecure and sad.

You heard them continuing to talk about it but your thoughts blocked out what they were saying.

you set you glass down on the marble counter before walking back to the room but the boys finally realized you were there from the sound of the glass against the counter and then the rushed footsteps echoing down the hallway.

“Dude, was she there this whole time” Heeseung asks in shock. Sunghoon eyes widen in realization.

He rushes up from his seat before walking over to the kitchen and seeing a halfway full glass of water on the counter. He panicks.

Jake stands up and walks over to him. “Nice joke bro, now she’s probably overthinking every detail” Jake pats his shoulder.

You were sitting at the desk in your shared bedroom with Sunghoon. You wiped you tears of your cheek before continuing writing notes for work.

“I am I really that sucky at it” You asked yourself with glossy eyes before resting your head on the pile paperwork you had. I didn't want to be upset but you couldn't help it.

You eventually fell asleep after crying a bit too much.

Sunghoon silently walked into the room a while after what happened, knowing you would most likely want to be left alone, so he did.

He saw you at our desk with dried tear steaks on your face. He frowned because he knew he was at fault. He didn't want to wake you, so he carefully picked you up and tucked you into bed.

After his friends left, he crawled into the shared bed with you and stared at the back of your head. He sighed, still feeling guilty.

He saw you toss and turn in an uncomfortable manner. He knew something was wrong, so he slightly shook you awake. When you did wake up, he asked you if you were okay and you answered, "just hot" and tossed the blankets of your burning body. He continued to stare at you.

"What?" you asked him. "I love you, you know that hm?" he said randomly. you slightly smiled and nodded against your pillow.

"You have pretty lips" he said. you just squinted your eyes before responding. "What's with the praise?" you chuckled with your eyebrows furrowed. He bit the inside of his cheek.

"I'm sorry" he pet your head. you were confused. "About?" you asked. "About earlier, I know you heard me and the boys. We heard you leave." he looked down. "Oh." you said.

you didn't know how to feel. He reminded you about what happened earlier, and it made you feel upset once again.

"I know I should've talked to you about my feelings before sharing them with my friends, I'm sorry." He sat up, holding your hand. "Yeah, you should've..." You frowned. he pulled your body to sit up with his.

"Will you forgive me?" he asked. You nodded slowly. "I love you y/n" he said, holding your face in his hands. "I love you too, Hoon." you softly smiled. "Can I kiss you?" he asked. You gulped, while slowly pulling your face away from his touch. "I don't know." you said, looking away from his eyes.

He sighed. "Please?" he pleaded. "Ok..." you said quietly, while picking your nails.

What if you kiss him and he doesn't like it, just how he said earlier. You were thinking all these things while he was leaning close to your face. Once you felt his lips touch yours, you didn't know what to do, but you didn't want it to be awkward, so you began to kiss him back.

It lasted a few minutes. before you both backed away from each other, catching your breaths.

You laid back down on your side of the bed, unsure of how you did. He joined you, also laying back down next to you. Although, you back were faced to him. He chuckled before turning you around to face him.

"I'm sorry if I don't kiss good." you frowned at him while speaking. "You did good." he smiled. you looked up at him. "You're probably just saying that since I'm insecure about it." you said. "Your insecure about it?" he asked in concern know he's the cause. You didn't say anything in return. "I'm sorry." he hugged you. Your head rested on his chest.

"let's just sleep, I'm tired, hm?" you said. He played with your hair before agreeing.

"Goodnight Sunghoon" you said sleepily. "Goodnight, love" he replied.

[❀] ❝ addiction 。park sunghoon ❞

❀ pair: sunghoon x fem!oc ❀ tags: tension, enemies/lovers, action, makeout (idk if its good tho) ❀ au: enemies (work for violent opposite parties) ❀ warnings: violence, blood, gore (minor), fighting, language, please tell me if i need to add more! ❀ word count: 1,483 ❀ status: completed

they may be enemies meant to kill each other, but they were too addicted to care.

──⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

The line of war was evident—clear as day and dark as night. Blood and death floated around the room as the few left remaining realized the sheer amount of bloodshed they’d caused. Used bullets littered the ground. Arrows pierced the now dead. Pools of blood formed around each body, staining the metallic floorboards a deep mahogany.

As the last few remaining dueled it out, two of the strongest stared at each other.

Park Sunghoon stood nonchalantly, confidence oozing out of his body as he stared at the girl in front of him. He found her ethereal when so determined, eyes clouding with a confounding desire. His icy skin and calculating eyes wouldn’t leave her as they circled around, waiting for each other to make the first move.

Jeong Hyera returned his gaze with a softened, underlying and border-line psychotic glare masked with a hint of determination and lust that remained even in such an unfated situation like this. Even when she knew one of them was about to meet a tragic end, she found herself heavily attracted.

They thrived for the danger.

They’d known since the beginning that their story would be tragic. They knew, but they were addicted. Addicted to each other, to their relationship, to the idea of risk—they were addicted to everything their relationship entailed.

“Are you gonna come at me, love? Or will you just stand there with that lovely gaze of yours?”

Hyera only rolled her eyes at him, tightening her stance as she got ready to fight.

“We seem to always meet like this, Park,” she voiced, her soft voice resonating within Sunghoon’s ears.

He was addicted to the sound of her voice, soft and filled with raw emotions even at times like this. Her confidence only fueled him more—fueled this unconscious attraction for each other.

They were like two magnets, meant to move toward something stronger but too attached to leave.

“How many times has it been now?” she questioned, a look of feigned ponder fluttering onto her face. “Seven? Eight?”

Sunghoon chuckled, finally bringing out his knife. They had to fight sooner or later—the secrets of their relationship couldn’t be disclosed to either side.

“You must love me a lot to be keeping count, Jeong,” he teases, getting in a more offensive stance.

He wasn’t going to back away from this fight, just as he hadn’t backed away before—every time they met.

Maybe they were so insane that they enjoyed being enemies.

Hyera made the first move, tired of waiting through the thick tension they tended to thrive in. She delivered a double kick before gracefully spinning, striking her black dagger right toward Sunghoon’s heart. He quickly dodges, smirking before stopping her hand. Easily, he pushes her back, opting to catch her off guard by knocking her off her feet. Hyera narrowly dodges, going for a more elaborate fake by striking near his vital points. They tumble, spin, toss, fall, get back up, and even lunge for each other.

Hyera ends up chasing him into another room, fighting him with every ounce of power she could.

They never held back when they fought, always aiming for a true kill.

Eventually, Hyera tried to get his heart once again, lunging at Sunghoon. His hand instinctively stopped the motion, tightening his grip to make sure she had no power to push forward. The dagger had made it much closer than the first, resting above his heart.

The air around them froze.

The time seemed to slow as Hyera slowly looked up to his face, breath hitching at the beauty his handsome features held. He returned her stare with two times the intensity, clutching her hand tighter and pulling her closer.

The distance between the two was practically nonexistent, tension heavy within the air. Both of them tuned out the other voices around them, focusing only on each other. Sunghoon’s gaze was hooded as his eyes flickered between her eyes and lips.

The were trapped in their positions, neither putting in effort to move away from their positions. Instead, Hyera only moved closer, slightly leaning on her toes to elevate herself as she tilted her head up. Her gaze matched his once again as Sunghoon towered her, no matter how much she elevated herself.

Hyera leaned closer, barely feathering over his lips, causing tingles throughout their bodies from the practically nonexistent touch. They could feel every breath the other released, every movement the other made. They’d forgotten their surroundings, falling deep within the moment.

Sunghoon leaned in as well, finally reciprocating the movement by pressing his soft, plump lips against hers. Hyera’s grip on the dagger loosens completely, falling from the hand was resting against her side before snaking around his neck. His right hand wrapped around her waist loosely, his palm hovering above her waist. His left hand had done the same—only the grip on her waist was tight, possessive, and risky.

Instinctively, Hyera’s right leg lifted from the ground, wrapping around Sunghoon as she tried to move closer—as she tried to close the already minimal distance between them. She bit his lips, taking over the kiss instead. Her tongue glided over his bottom lip which only caused his grip to impossibly tighten.

They should’ve pulled back by now for even the slightest grasp of air, but they didn’t. Hyera could see the stars dance in her eyes, black spots slowly filtering in with each passing moment. Only when their throats begged for oxygen did they pull back for a millisecond, hooded eyes meeting before he attacked her again.

She knew she could’ve attacked him now. She knew she should’ve before someone walked in. She knew she should’ve distanced herself from him—he was only toxic and risky within her lifestyle. What could she do, though? She was addicted to him.

Once again, Sunghoon pulls back, shifting his right arm as he lingers for longer than usual.

“Do you trust me?” he asked.

The question startled Hyera, and she pondered on it for much longer than she thought she would. In a situation like this, most people would find the question to be suggestive, but she knows it’s much deeper than that.

He’s asking if she really was stupid enough to trust him.

Maybe she was. But, she wouldn’t tell him that—she didn’t need him to be cockier than usual. She knew she could never trust him fully, though. She could never understand what his next plan was. He was too unexpected. One moment, he’d be kissing her like they’d never meet again. The next, he would be shooting her in the leg. Sometimes, she returned the favor as well.

“No,” she stated, her tone wavering as she still tried to regain her drastically depleted breath.

Sunghoon nodded his head, still holding her just as close as he seemingly contemplated. That look of pondrance, though, quickly transformed to a smirk.

“Good.”

“Fuck!”

She was an idiot.

How did she expect the Park Sunghoon, her enemy with benefits, to leave her perfectly unharmed. They were enemies in their line of work—he couldn’t leave her without anything. And sometimes, it would be the opposite—sometimes, she’d shoot his shoulder.

As of right now, a knife was lodged in her leg, left in there as courtesy to make sure she doesn’t bleed to death before she reaches her allies.

Idiot, Hyera.

Unlike Hyera, who dropped the dagger in the spur of the moment as all thoughts left her mind, Sunghoon tightly gripped the knife in his right hand, hovering it a meager distance away from her hips.

She should’ve known right then.

“Damn it! Sunghoon!” she voiced out, her voice determined to mask the pain with staggering annoyance.

She immediately started cursing him out as she tried to figure out a comfortable position to stand and walk on. Her curses only multiplied when the pain struck through her spine, causing her to screw her eyes shut before reopening them.

Sunghoon only shrugged. He had to do his job, and that’s what he did. That what he always did. How else could he come back to the girl he was addicted to?

“Sorry,” Sunghoon spoke as he walked away from her. His voice resonated within the room, the nonchalant tone carried throughout the minor echoes. “Just doing my job.”

Even if she was annoyed that she’d gotten injured, Hyera couldn’t help but marvel at him as he moved to leave the room, completely unharmed. The risks weren’t normal for them—they were lethal. Yet, they both still chose to stay.

“Fuck,” she muttered under her breath, forcing herself to look away and pay attention to her leg for at least a moment.

I’ll get him back next time, she thinks.

Sunghoon paused at the door, turning to look at her again with a small grin that bordered a smirk—Hyera couldn’t tell as her vision slightly blurred from the pain.

“Till we meet again, love.”
