“I’ve send the file to you, you have 48 Hours to kill the target starting from now” A deep voice said before Krystal hang up the phone call.

Krystal watched over the paper that comes into her faxmail, it only has a picture, name and company address.

Lee Soo man.

Star Museum building: seollung-ro 190-gil, Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

The girl start to hacking for more information, she has been clicking and typing something on the computer. She needs every single detail things about the victim, printed a few things and scribing something with her pen. Think about some strategy to kill the old guy, since he is the important person he always have guards around him. Of course to kill him, it’s not an easy task to do.

Everything should be clean and neat.

Krystal Jung is an orphan, adopted by Jang Yunho who is now becoming his boss when she’s only 5. He taught her how to fight and using a gun since the first week she stayed with him. Now he turned her into the cold blood killer machine, despites her pretty look, Krystal jung is one of the top murderer in South Korea. Little Krystal use to ask Yunho why she trained to kill people and the old guy just said “We kill for helping the others. One down and you can saved 100 people, killing bad people isn’t a bad thing Krysy”

So until now, she doesn’t need to know the reason why they want the person dies. Her job is to kill 1 people with nobody hurt, nobody knows and she got the money. Everything is business to her, it’s all about money and she trained to not give a single damn pity for those begged to breathe when they deserve to die.

-Next morning-

4 AM and Krystal were busy to cleaning up her dangerous toys, from the smaller pistol to the heavy machine gun, riffles, any various kind of knife and swords. The lady keep staring at the stopwatch that she set on one of her monitor, she still had 40 hours left, but time is money and Krystal doesn’t want to waste her money.

Krystal drives her Black Maserati and parked it right in front the convenience store. She checked her ipad and went to checkthe target schedule for the whole day. 7:30am – JYP Company, it said that SM and JYP is having a meeting for alliance to destroy the YG company. That’s what news said, this old guy is already risk his life with being too careless for letting media knows his schedule. Which makes Krystal doesn’t need to work hard for hacking the security system.

7:15 Black SUV following with silver Limousine finally arrived in front JYP building. The lady eyes scanned the situation, counting the guards and some possibility of her strategy to kill the old bird. He surrounded by 7 people, one of them skinny, always had a digital device on his hands, krystal assume he is Eunhyuk his assistant. 6 guards, big body means they’re slow, 2 of them lefthanded, 4 of them has semi-automatic P228 pistol. There is nothing special with the target's bodyguards.

The killer machines drive her car in front one hotel, leaving her target to breath for awhile. She parked her car there and made a reserve for room under a random people name. “Thank you Mrs.Park Sunyoung” The receptionist named wendy smiles at her while giving her a card key for her room. She head out into her room and unpacked things from her suitcase. Changed into a casual cloth and walked outside with a duffel bag with her.

Krystal were using a public transportation to reach the SM buildings. She entered the back side of the building heading into locker room for the cleaning worker. Takes out the SM pink uniform and start to disguise as one of the office lady there. She hates to see her reflection of herself right now, she hates pink for god sake.

She entered one room and finds someone there. Krystal smiled at her and bowed her head to show some respect to the lady.

“Are you new?” She asked

Krystal nodded, “I’m Victoria” She introduce herself.

“Sulli” Krystal smiles at her.

Krystal always comes up with a various names that showed in her minds to cover her real identity. Sunyoung is the wife of one of her victim, meanwhile Sulli is one of the murderers too, but she got killed by Lee Taemin, because she refuse to kill a 15 years old girl that has seen her killed someone. The great Jang was angry at her and told Taemin to kill the teenage girl also her.

“Excuse me victoria-ssi, where did they put the coffee?” Krystal asked politely to her

“Here” The girl helped krystal with making a cup of coffee.

“Thank you victoria-ssi, now I need to deliver it to the ahjusshi in monitoring room” Krystal said and excuse herself with a tray and a cup of hot coffee with her.

“Your welcome sulli, it’s kind of weird that mr.wang ordered a coffee it use to be a tea for him” Victoria said

Krystal headed into the monitoring room, she knocked and see someone is there watching a cartoon with a bag of chips on his hands.

“Sir this is your coffee” carefully put the hot coffee in front of him

“But I don’t remember that I asked for one” He said confused

“Oh, I think I got the wrong person, I’m sorry I’ll just take this back” Krystal said and purposely dropped the hot coffee right into his uniform.

“OW !” He cursed

Krystal put some act keep saying that she is sorry for her mistakes to him.

“I’m sorry sir, once again I’m sorry”

“T-that’s ing okay, I need to clean myself first, please clean this room for me! And don’t touch anything!” He said running to the bathroom(?)

‘it’s too easy’ Krystal smirked and rule means to be broken, so she touched Mr.Wang property and start to hack all the CCTV system so she could have an access to see the whole building situations from anywhere she wants.

Krystal took off her uniform and cleaned the coffee that she purposely spills with the uniform. Then she ditches the uniform into trash can and walked outside building freely.

-30 minutes latter-

Soojung played with her mouse pad, looking at the whole situation in the SM building from her Laptop. The tracker she puts on her target’s car moved, means that the meeting in JYP office already over. In any minutes The Silver limousine parked right in the SM buildings. The guards come and followed the old man until he reach his office, the assistant walked out from his office after informing him something that krystal couldn’t hear. When she sees that her target were left alone, krystal smiles creepily.

-28 Hours left-

Krystal chooses the seat near the window, waited for her order delivered by the waitress. She took off her sunglasses and stared at her ipad, watching a small blue dot to move from his luxury mansion. 

.

.

It’s jongin second day as a student of seoul university majoring in Architecture. Jongin still has 1 hour left before his first class start, so he decided to take a quick breakfast nearby. He finds a café called kamong that placed not too far from the subway station. Jongin ordered a hot chocolate, tuna sandwich and pancakes.

When he got his orders, there is no empty seat left. Jongin eyes scanned the whole room in case he misses one table with no owner. Right when he finds one a bunch of girls snatched it away before he could reach the table. One of the waitress noticed him and willing to find him another table for him to eat.

“Do you mind to share a table with another customer sir?” The waitress asked him

Jongin shook his head and said that he doesn’t mind as long he could eat the breakfast. The waitress show him the way and jongin followed behind, then he stopped on a table with a pretty girl wearing black blouse with a sunglasses placed on her hair.

“Miss, do you mind to share table with another customer? Our table is full this morning” The waitress asked her

“Could you ask another table please?” She said coldly

“Excuse me, but I just want to eat my breakfast in hurry. I have a class in an hour and my train will be here in--” Jongin checked his watch “oh -- I have 15 minutes left”

“Just don’t bother me!” She said

“Thanks” that’s what He could said to the cold lady in front of him

Jongin eat quietly with a speed of light, he took a glance of her sometimes. He admits that the girl is goddess, looked so elegant and independent. As a normal boy she acknowledge her charm, but she has a bad attitude which makes jongin promises if he meets her again, he won’t be nice to her even if she needs a help from him.

Krystal spotted that jongin is studying her. Now the tall boy with a bronze skin tone color is staring at the violin bag that placed next to her. “What are you looking at?” Her question makes jongin startled. “Didn’t I say to not bothering me if you want to sit here??” She added.

“I’m sorry okay!” Jongin raised his tone, the pancakes doesn’t tasted nice anymore. Is she on her periods? He doesn’t even bother to talks to her, what so wrong with him looking at her violin case? “Anyway thanks for sharing a table.” He said and walked off from her.

Krystal doesn’t replying at him until she heard the big crack from the violin bag that has fell. The boy earlier just kicked it hard, she cursed at him who is already gone.

Tries to cooling herself, krystal tries to think clear. Start with watching her stopwatch that showing 18 hours left for her to kill, krystal walked out from the café with her violin bag. She crossed the street and entered the Coex building that placed right in front of SM building. She pressed the 14th floor in the elevator.

As soon as she arrived, she went into toilet and put the ‘out of service’ sign in front of it. She locked the door with placed a broom on the door knob in case someone come to checked it. Start with ditching her black blouse and heels, she changed her outfit into a blue turtleneck shirt, a tight leather legging, a pair of boots and brown long coat.

She checked the situations just to make sure that everything is safe, before walked into the emergency exits and reached the highest place in the building, Rooftop. Krystal unveils her violin bag and starts to raft her infamous AWP or Magnum sniper rifle one-shot, one kill policy. She ties her hair to make sure the wind will not blowing her hair just to make her miss the target.

09:48, The target is already arrived in the building surrounding with his body guards. Krystal stretched her neck, preparing for pulling the trigger and put the bullet right into his head. Head-shoot is her favorite. Why it’s head? Not heart? To prove that she is heartless and the victim is brainless. It’s pointless, but krystal really likes the head-shoot.

The device on her hands showing Lee Soo man room, he just entered the room, his assistant were still there giving him some useless information, because in no time he’ll find him death already. Krystal were ready, everything is on set. Using the telescope on the sniper, she sees her target.

The target’s phone ring, it was her beloved wife. He told the assistant to left him, it’s a habit that he always facing the window during the phone conversation. Bad habit, that’s will end his life forever.

“One.. two..” Krystal pull the trigger slowly

“bye daddy”

And BAMM.. the bullet fly fast from the riffle to the office next door, it hit through the glass and make a hole in it, but krystal miss the head. The bullet hits his shoulder instead.  Her gun, miss the target. It’s her first time, she checked her AWP and find out why she miss it, it broken. “, I should kill the boy later!” She let out her frustration. Krystal sees the assistant walked inside the room panicked. 

“!” She cursed as one of the guards spotted her when she about to aiming another shoot for the targets.

She needs to leave as soon as possible, grabbing her weapon back into her violin bag and running downstairs. She start to act like nothing happen and walked out from the building freely.

“That’s her.. that’s her..!!” The bunch of body guards start to chase after her.

“Damn it!” Krystal mumbles and running as fast as she can to avoiding the body guards.

All the security and guards were chasing after soojung, they’re too fat to run faster, but bullets were faster. They showered Krystal with gun shoot, she manages to dodge it, but one of the security offices hits her with their gun twice. Krystal ignores the pain that hits her and keep running and running. They stopped shooting due run out bullets, Krystal manages to disappears in the next block and bumped into someone.

It’s the same boy she meets earlier, then everything turned into a pitch black for her.

.

.

“But sir, I only late for 5 minutes.. 5 minutess..” Jongin begged

“I’m sorry son, 5 or less you’re still late. It’s my class and owned by my rule” the professor said to him.

Jongin kicked the rock in the street, feels annoyed. Is today is his bad day? Everything looks so damn perfect and fine before he meets the coldhearted girl. Yes, it’s because of that girl! She ruined everything!

There is a loud gun shoot in the main street, jongin can hear that clearly and it’s disappeared. He thought there is some game event in the coex mall. Since the mall is only 4 blocks from where he stand right now. Didn’t stop his footsteps jongin start to walks again and then he bumped into someone.

“Sorry” Jongin said

The girl sees him and fainted right in front of his eyes.

.

.

Jongin couldn’t believe that he broke his promise. He said that he won’t be nice again to her if he meets the girl, but he has a big humanity in his heart to see the girl that being so cold to him fainted like that on the street How if someone her?. Jongin put the girl on his bed slowly, then placed her violin bag next to it. She is really pretty when she likes this. He doesn't remember her wears this kind of cloth before, but after all girl always pay attention to what they wear and use.

“! She’s bleeding?!” Jongin shocked to see bloods on his sweater. He checked the girl’s body and finds 2 wounds on her left arm and shoulder.

.

 .

Krystal smells something nice, her stomach even grumbling. She open her eyes slowly, she could feels her body ached. What happen? Am I got caught? That’s what crossed on her minds as soon as she awake. Krystal tries to get up, but a hand stopped her.

“Please stay still!” He said

Krystal eyes meet him, it’s the boy who ruined her mission. Why he should be the one who helping her? Anyway she spotted that she’s not wearing her shirt, she only has a bra on and finds her left arm and shoulder has been bandaged. Jongin shook his head feels nervous in case she misunderstands him as a .

“I—umm—you—it’s not like what you think--”

“Thank you” Krystal said pointed on her treaten wounds.

Jongin managed to give her nod after a bit taken a back with her quick reaction. “I ruined your shirt, you can use mine. Anyway do you want to eat something? I make some soup”

Krystal let jongin to feed her, it’s surprise her that the boy is actually cook well. While she is only know how to burn human’s body to kill. That’s gross, krystal snapped away her thought about killing people. Then something hit her “Where is my violin bag?” She asked

“There” Jongin head pointed to the black things next to the bed. “Why the violin is so heavy? Anyway what happen actually?”

“Nothing, I just accidentally got shoot” She lies

“Why are you not taking me to hospital?” Krystal suddenly asked

“I don’t have any idea that you got shoot, anyway I don’t have any money for bring you to the hospital. I’m sorry, we can go right after-- ”

“No! thanks for not taking me there” Krystal held the boy’s hand.

Krystal suddenly burst into laugh, Jongin face were too funny. He blushed hard when she held his hands. “Why—why are you laughing?” Jongin shuttered and she laughs even more. It’s been forever since she laughs like that. She never finds Yoo Jae suk or Lee kwang soo funny, but right now to she feels tickles every time she see him.

Krystal finished her meals, Jongin give her warm tea. He helped her to washes her face and brushes her teeth. The funny thing is krystal letting him to do everything that actually she can do by herself. It feels nice to have someone taking care of you. She feels safe and sounds with jongin presence. Jongin told her about why his bad day today and she suddenly feels sorry for being so mean to him.

“Wah that CEO got shoot?” Jongin said while watching the news on tv.

“Who?”

“Lee Soo man SM CEO, you don’t know him? He own the biggest entertainment industry in our country, I don’t get why someone want to kill him, he is a nice man though. Well maybe someone is jealous of him.”

“I need to go” Krystal said get up from jongin’s bed. Ignore the aches pain from her left arm.

“Wait! Where are you going Jessica?” Jongin asked

“I have something to do, I’m sorry” She took the violin bag and coat, but jongin grabbed her hand

“If you want to leave, let me take you there”

“No, I’m alright”

“At least give me your phone number”

“I’m sorry jongin-ah I don’t have one. At least I can give you this” Krystal pulled her face closer to him and gave a peck on his kissable lips.

“That’s my first kiss, see you“ Krystal said and walked off.

Jongin were frozen, he see her disappear through the darkness. That’s actually jongin’s first kiss too, she probably lies to him, but why he feels happy all of sudden?

Kim jongin, did you just fall in love with a girl you hate this morning?

.

.

Krystal was in hurry, she just back to her hotel room quietly and quickly scribbling another plan to kill with her laptop, and comes with an idea. She stuffed back all her belonging into her suitcase, changed her cloth and stuffed jongin’s shirt into the trash bag. She ties her hair into a bun, put the sunglasses on ready to leave the hotel room.

But soojung walked back and stuffed jongin’s shirt into her bag.

The stopwatch is showed that she still has 4 hours left to kill. She drives her Maserati passed the target mansion, there is so many reporter and polices who guarded the whole mansion. The target just got back from the hospital. Krystal hopes that he got hospitalized so it would be so much easier to her to kill.

Krystal parked her car far enough from her suspect mansion. She grabbed her Night Hawk .50C pistol with her and walked quietly in the darkness. She needs to be careful at this time, she need to finish her task. She climbs the high wall. Krystal uses her fight skills to make one guard fall down without a sound. She pushed the guard hardly and hides him in the bush. She finally could enter the room, she uses her device to froze all the CCTC that placed in every corner in the mansion, She could dodge some guard and finally could reach the targets room. She heard the couple talking in the balcony.

“Honey I’m scared” The wife said

“Don’t be scared, It’s probably Youngmin. Since he wants the company so bad, I can’t die and let him own the company” Lee soo man sighed.

“Haraboji~” A little girl running to lee soo man, Krystal stand still behind the door.

“Aigo~ our grandchild.”

“Haraboji are you hurt somewhere?” The little girl asked

“No honey, I’m fine”

Krystal doesn’t get why her tears is flow? Why suddenly she remembering her grandfather? Is she even has one?

-The next morning-

Krystal wake up with a smile placed on her face, for the first time in her life she finally having a nice dream. Probably because she sleep while wears jongin’s shirt? She doesn’t have any idea, but she hopes that she doesn’t need to wake up from her sleep.

The lady touched her lips remembering that last night she had giving her lips to the boy she barely knows. Krystal kicked her blanket and headed up to kitchen make herself a bitter coffee to start the day. She doesn’t know why, but she feels to adding more sugar into her coffee, she wants something sweet for her lips in the morning.

“Krystal”

“Appa” Krystal immediately bowed to her father figure who is also her boss.

He was sitting on his chair and let Taemin helped him to push wheel chair. He can’t walk anymore, he getting old, has no wife, but had so many adopted child who has been trained to be a murderer just like her.

“Sit down” He ordered krystal.

Krystal obeyed him and sit in the wood chair faced him, still holding her coffee mug.

“Did you mind to report me about your last order?” He asked

“I was fail in the first attempt, almost got caught, but I managed to escaped”

“You killed him in the very last minute, that’s the worst record of your rank.”

Krystal heartbeat skipped, she didn’t kill her target though. Instead of killing Soo man, she killed the opponent that Soo mand said earlier. Youngmin, Kim Youngmin she killed him and finds out what actually happen in this business.

“You will not get your payment, you made too much damaged in your last file. I’m hoping this won’t be happen again in the future”

“It won’t” Krystal said

“Good! Now heal yourself soon, many job has been waiting for you Ice Princess” Jang Yunho said and give a sign to Taemin to take him away from Krystal territorial.

.

.

Krystal stared at her semi figure in the mirror. She doesn’t feels want to change the bandages moreover it was Jongin who put the bandages on. She had a thought of having him to taking care of her again. She smiles at her thought.

“You smiled a-lot”

Taemin has been standing in her
