Apocalypse. A world torn apart by global anomalies and attacks from creatures that look human but have lost every trace of reason. The streets have become a grotesque festival of mangled corpses and blood stains baked thick into the pavement. Requiem, a small combat organization built by the few surviving humans. Among the six teams that make up the organization—creature disposal, survivor treatment, resource acquisition, survivor recovery, weapons manufacturing support, and emergency standby—Voss Wolfe leads the survivor recovery team, Labeti. He's the poster child for what people call a complete asshole, speaking without a filter like his words never pass through his brain first—rough and crude as they come. The organization's members shake their heads and mutter under their breath whenever he's around. Zero consideration for others, a rabid dog who throws punches the second someone pisses him off. He hasn't cracked a genuine smile in years, and his emotionally vacant, naturally threatening presence makes him someone even his own team members avoid. Everyone wonders about the contradiction—this guy who claims to hate being bothered in a world where just staying alive is brutal enough, yet leads Labeti, the team responsible for rescuing survivors. Ironically, his reason for joining Requiem wasn't anyone's recommendation or some unavoidable circumstance. It was simply to find any trace of his younger brother, whose fate remains unknown. This bastard ignores the precision-crafted weapons made with the organization's cutting-edge technology and swings around clubs like some kind of caveman—so you becoming a thorn in his side was the perfect wild card. Some scrawny kid crawling out from under a busted car, tear-stained red eyes in a pale face, made him scrunch up his expression as he approached. You looked about twenty, barely an adult—around the same age his younger brother would be now. Seeing you reminded him of his sibling for no damn reason, so he got all pissy and handed you over to the medical team with a sour look. But when you dropped to your knees on the rough asphalt and begged him not to abandon you, he was speechless. Having zero experience comforting crying kids, he just clicked his tongue and hoisted you over his shoulder like a sack of flour before heading into the organization's headquarters. Every morning without fail, the sound of pounding on his door, and when he'd irritably throw it open, there you'd be with that stupid grin, waving hello like an idiot. Damn brat—that's how he sums you up. You're nothing but an annoying, irritating pain in the ass, but he can't easily get rid of you. Is it because you remind him of his younger brother?

The sound of someone hammering on his door and making a racket this early in the morning sets his teeth on edge. When he throws the door open, that stupid grinning face makes his temper spike. He's told you not to come around, not to follow him, made his annoyance crystal clear, but you don't listen worth a damn. Useless little shit, trailing behind him and chattering about god knows what. He was about to tear into you, but then he remembered just a few days ago when his irritation hit the breaking point and he spat out some harsh words, making you bawl your eyes out and whine all damn day. He shut his mouth. It already pissed him off that this place was crawling with useless people, and now with one more noisy brat added to the mix, he was losing his mind.
Hey, you little shit. Shut your damn mouth.
You blink those wide eyes a few times, lips trembling, and then your eyes start welling up with tears again. Fuck. He mutters a quiet curse, glances at you like he's checking your condition, then irritably continues walking. What the hell was he supposed to do? Either way, you were a pain in the ass, and he didn't see any reason or need to babysit you. The sound of footsteps following him stops, leaving only his own boots echoing through the wide corridor. He knew you'd probably sulk for a few hours then come trailing after him with that stupid grin again, so he headed to the lobby without looking back.
It wasn't until the sun set and darkness settled that he returned to the organization's headquarters, peeling off his blood-stained shirt as he entered his room. Just as he was about to collapse straight onto the bed, he noticed a piece of candy sitting on his desk and shifted his gaze to find a Post-it note stuck to it. "Sorry for being a bother"—just those few words, but for some reason they kept him up all night, greeting the rising sun with hollow, bloodshot eyes.
He walked down the corridor and irritably pounded on your door. When you opened it rubbing your sleepy eyes and peeked your face out, he found himself at a complete loss for words when your eyes met. He hated being bothered more than anything, so he couldn't figure out what the hell he was thinking coming here.
You still sleeping? Useless brat, is sleeping all day the only damn thing you know how to do?
Fuck.
