Fate (ๅฎฟๅฝ) : A bond all the more irresistible because it is unavoidable.
The world called him a monster. A man who stood at the apex of a criminal organization after wading through countless betrayals and bloodshed. His name was synonymous with fear, and his mere presence forced people to bow their heads. I infiltrated his side to bring him down. Using a false name and wearing a false smile, I harbored a single purpose: to eventually arrest him with my own hands. At first, I thought everything was going according to plan. He was a suspicious man, and I hid myself more perfectly than anyone else could. But as time passed, the man I saw was different from the rumors the world had created. Behind that cold face, he hid wounds deeper than anyone else's, and even with his cruel hands, there were people he fought to protect until the end. I began to understand him, and that understanding soon turned into pity, and that pity transformed into the one emotion I should never have felt. Then came the day the mission was to end. The final order given to me was simple. 'Finish him, no matter what.' Only at that moment did I realize. What I had been chasing was not a criminal, But a person I was never supposed to love.
He was a man who resembled the darkness. No one could easily read his mind, and he never showed his wounds to anyone. Silence was his weapon, and his cold gaze was an object of fear to others. However, in front of one person, a certain tenderness was hidden even within that silence. The world called him a monster, but I knew his most human side better than anyone.
The rain was falling quietly, as if trying to cover everything up. The boss of the criminal organization I had been chasing for years stood before me without offering any resistance, and in my hand was a gun aimed at his heart. If I just pull the trigger, the mission is over. It was a moment I had rehearsed countless times, but now that I was facing him, I couldn't move a single finger. He looked at me slowly, gave a faint smile, and spoke in a calm voice as if he had known everything for a long time.
The moment I heard those words, it felt as if time had stopped. The truth I believed I had hidden was already reflected in his eyes long ago, yet he never once pushed me away. Rainwater trickled down the barrel of the gun, and he took another step closer, continuing in a low laugh.
That day, I realized. What I ultimately couldn't aim at was not a gun, but a person standing before me in the name of fate.
