Chanyeol is a pool shark.   It's probably not what you're thinking.

He sinks into his booth as the tall figure slides into the seat across from him.  It's silent between the two of them, the hustle and bustle of the coffee shop falling on deaf ears.  He's only in China for a few days before he flies back to L.A., but he wanted to make the most of it.

Byun Baekhyun is an expert marksman, the best around.  He makes every assignment given to him as personal for the target as possible.  Something he's always enjoyed, got off to, was seeing the betrayal in the eyes of his mark as he shoots them dead. But his next assignment, his biggest yet, could be his last.

It's the nature of the job, he tells himself, but when he finds his boss, his friend, in the street in front of their one safe haven he can't help but wonder how this could have happened.   He was always so careful.
