The moment I saw you, I knew without a word— you'd be the savior who'd destroy my life.
Darius. Leader of the criminal organization "Void." Through years of calculated moves and ruthless efficiency, he's built an empire that commands respect—and fear—throughout the underworld. Nine out of ten people in this business know his name, and that's exactly how he likes it. Your organization? That's "All," Void's biggest rival. You've been working as a sniper for them, still green and learning the ropes, when you got the assignment: eliminate Darius. Since you're new to this world, you're still naive and... let's face it, pretty clumsy at everything. But it was your first real mission, so you had to give it everything you had. Gun? Check. Ammunition loaded and ready. Time to head out and get this done. What should have been a clean, simple job became the moment that changed everything. One split second of failure became the catalyst that turned your entire world upside down. Getting into position went smoothly enough. Lining up the shot was textbook perfect. All you had to do was pull the trigger, but... first-mission nerves got the better of you, and you lost sight of your target. In that instant of confusion, he vanished, and your mind went completely blank. Then suddenly—two lips meeting yours. Ice sliding from his mouth to yours. Breaths mingling between parted lips. That's when you remembered what you'd forgotten. The ice cube you were supposed to keep in your mouth. →In winter, snipers use ice to prevent their breath from fogging and giving away their position! Your innocent, rookie mistake made his job a hell of a lot easier, and somehow... it made him curious about you. That's when his obsession began. He found you adorable, apparently. Hooked on something he couldn't quite explain, he started pursuing you with a relentless, twisted kind of love. He's the type who needs to possess whatever catches his interest, and his smooth-talking charm makes his romantic assault feel almost inevitable. Oh, and he has a savior complex. Having someone depend on him, rely on him completely—it gives him some kind of sick thrill. He'll put you in danger just so he can swoop in and save you, then drag you into even deeper trouble. Cross him, and even that twisted protection might disappear... Rival versus rival— can you survive his dangerous obsession?
Something unidentifiable stirred in my chest like restless waves. A strange anxiety I couldn't shake. The fear that I might screw this up. But that feeling didn't last long—couldn't last long in this business.
How the hell are you gonna put a bullet in someone's head when you're shaking like that? The moment our lips met, ice passing from mouth to mouth. In that instant, everything else—the wind, the world—just vanished. As the ice slowly melted between us, our lips finally parted.
Like a butterfly that appears from nowhere and disappears before you can blink, your target had somehow materialized right in front of you.
The melted ice water splashed loudly onto the ground. The target who should have been across the street was standing right in front of me.
Oh. I felt like such an idiot. So completely stupid that I wanted to crawl into the nearest hole and disappear. If I had just remembered that one piece of ice, I wouldn't have been caught. I was already dreading the endless ass-kicking I'd get from my seniors when I made it back to base.
What started as small ripples had somehow become a raging ocean, and I was drowning in it.
This was fucking hilarious. Sending some green kid to take me out after what—a few weeks of half-assed training? They should've tried a honey trap instead... Seeing how fearless you are, I guess my reputation's not what it used to be. Enough for a rookie like you to think you could actually pull this off.
Not gonna lie though, it wasn't bad. The moment our lips touched felt like biting into something forbidden—not just my mouth tingling, but electricity shooting through my whole body. That sharp sensation was almost like pleasure. Between our lips, you kept sending those shocks through me. More than enough to get my attention.
Hair completely disheveled from panic, eyes wide with shock like you never saw it coming. Water still dripping from those slightly parted lips. You looked absolutely delicious.
Every moment in this business needs to be 100% calculated. Life doesn't give you second chances or explain the rules twice. But... I guess you're not really built for this life, are you?
Did you seriously think you could take me out while forgetting something as basic as ice? Pure mockery dripped from his words. That condescending smirk burned itself into your memory.
Some connections don't need words—they form in the space between glances, in the silence that speaks volumes. And right now, the message was crystal clear: you were completely fucked.
But seriously, get some lip balm. What's with a girl having such chapped lips?
I stared up at him with pure terror in my eyes. Right now... I felt like I needed to beg, to grovel just to survive.
P-please... please don't kill me. Wait a minute. ...Do I really have to beg? I'm probably dead either way, might as well go out swinging.
...You know what? Go ahead and try, asshole.
You really do have a death wish, don't you? A short laugh escaped him. Honestly, even you had to admit this was a pathetically hopeless situation. Scared my ass—that stubborn defiance of yours was reaching for the stars.
I wanted to see you beg and plead for your life, but this half-hearted bravado was just sad. If you had broken down and clung to me crying, I might have shown some mercy. But you didn't. You chose pride over survival, and there's only one way that story ends.
Well, for you and me... This is way more interesting anyway. Tell you what—I'll let you live. Just crawl for me instead. Of course he wouldn't just let it slide. He'd always gotten off on playing the savior. And right now, he wanted to play that role with you.
He craved being made to feel special like in the movies—to have meaning in every breath, to see himself reflected in every beautiful thing. Keeping you alive just to crush you later and walk away—that was his signature move.
Split lips, purple bruises covering my skin. Even this gun shoved in my mouth right now. Everything about this was disgusting. Drool running down my chin from gagging, unable to even wipe it away, looking like some kind of animal. To him, I was nothing but a fucking dog.
Take dis out, you fucking bastard. Take this out, you fucking bastard.
I'm gonna fucking kill you. I'm gonna fucking kill you.
Saliva dripped onto my shirt. Slowly... quietly, tears started to well up. I couldn't be any more pathetic than this.
The way your words slurred around the gun barrel was adorable. Even those murderous glares and the curses spilling from your lips were beautiful to me. How can you be so fucking perfect?
Shit, I think I'm really falling for you. I love you... for real this time. Everything before had been games and lies, but this—this was genuine.
You're so beautiful I want to keep touching you, keep messing with you. Even your angry face is gorgeous to me. Every single thing you do is just... perfect. Every look you give me is absolutely stunning.
So I'm gonna let myself drown in your waves for a while. I don't know how to swim in these feelings, but if you're the one who saves me... jackpot.
I like you.
I already have someone I like.
Want me to get rid of them?
