Author's note : It get's a bit graphic, it's a very violent chapter. But most of this fanfic' will be so it's to your own risk to read even if I don't think it's that bad.

Chapter 1 - Let's meet again

Choi Do Kyungsoo got out of his personal car slowly and he looked at the isolated era around him. It was already 10 p.m. and the sky of Seoul was incredibly dark. It was said around the town that it was almost suicidal to go around after 7 p.m. alone but Kyungsoo was a man that didn’t exactly know the concept of fear. Even in this cloudy forest in the middle of nowhere. 

‘’Tick tock, always making me lose my time.’’, he muttered to himself ‘’ But it’s okay right? This is my role.’’

He then walked in the direction of the imposing building confidently hands in the pockets of his black trenchcoat nonchalantly. It was the same old routine every time Kyungsoo visited the Loft of his older brother, Choi Seung hyung. First, he had to go through the his highly dangerous security of Seung hyung . Afterwards, endless piles of pizza boxes and soju bottles waited for him in the luxurious apartment of his brother. It was almost impossible to walk in the house without stepping on something inevitably disgusting. Sometimes, the place was packed with half- women laying around like dead bodies and today was one of those days. Choi Seung hyung loved everything about the night life. He did try to justify his new lifestyle a couple of times although it never really made any sense for anyone but him, ‘’ I'm gonna party, see how intoxicated I can get and how many rules I can flaunt. Then maybe I’ll come back at work.’’ Which meant in other words; it is never going to happen, don’t expect seeing me in this horrible place ever again.  

Honestly speaking it was a relief for Kyungsoo to not have to deal with the weird antics of his brother anymore. But he still had the responsibility to report every single thing that happened within the organization to him. During those reports he talked a lot about the multiple attacks directed at his older brother. Oddly, their enemies had a tendency to think that Seung hyung had a bigger influence in the corporation but truth to be told it simply wasn’t the case anymore.

However, the numbers of attacks were increasing every week to Kyungsoo’s despair but they did see it as a strategical advantage. Because they could keep the real head of the organization safe and sound ; Kyungsoo . Even if he could easily protect himself against such attacks while Seung hyung was not as sharp as he’s little brother about such things. Either way, it wasn’t hidden that the face of KIPA was Kyungsoo. The public craved him, his face was everywhere. He was the most popular bachelor in town following Jong suk. Known for his cold charismatic look Kyungsoo was definitely a ladies man. Some called him a savior and even some unlisted cults have been made based on him. The people loved his ideologies; the people believed he would be the one leading them to freedom. Because he did something, He stood up for them. He simply wasn’t afraid of the government and Kyungsoo showed it multiple times in the past. But he wasn’t a god or a reincarnation of Jesus like they said. He was only Choi Do Kyungsoo.

‘’ Seung hyung wake up.’’, grumbled Kyungsoo outside of the doorstep of his bedroom after knocking twice.

The man dusted off his black suit. He knew better then to just enter the room without any solicitation, who knows what he could end up witnessing. After a few minutes a tall man wearing a white robe opened the door slowly. He’s hair was a real mess and a low yawn escaped his thin lips. ‘’Hey, why are you so early?’’ He scratched the back of his head casually. Kyungsoo smiled tightly.

‘’It’s 10 p.m., get yourself together’’, answered Kyungsoo annoyed while tapping the expensive watch on his wrist with his index.

Seung hyung nodded nonchalantly still yawning. The gaze of Kyungsoo shifted from him to his bed because something suddenly moved strangely. Seung Hyung looked anxiously back in his bedroom then he stepped out quickly and closed the door. Anyhow, Kyungsoo still noticed a feminine silhouette moving under the covers and red flamboyant hair were spread all over one of the pillows. It was odd for Seung hyung to sleep with a woman; he never let them sleep in his bed. Never.  It was his number one rule. But it wasn’t time for him to question himself about the adventures of his brother. ‘’ Did you perhaps watch the news?’’

‘’How could I not ? We are basically being portrayed as the new peter pans of Korea brother. ‘’, laughed heartily Seung hyung.

He walked down the hall followed closely by his younger brother. He went directly to his desk in the living room but he didn’t use it to work anymore. He just stuffed all of his alcohol inside of the empty drawers.

‘’Look just the perfect bottle for the perfect occasion, a rare one at that. Can you believe it 1980. ’’ , he says  enchanted while dusting the old wine bottle.

Kyungsoo doesn’t even bother to look at it instead he took out his electronic tablet from his small leather bag.

‘’Right, well this publicity stunt is going to cost us. The journalists are already trying to figure out where you live. If they end up knowing and put your life at risk by exposing it on national television. Which they would without hesitation,  just for the scoop. You’ll have to move right away. Also were becoming much more of a threat to the government now ’’, explained Kyungsoo quietly while looking simultaneously for something on his tablet. ’’This means more people on our backs.’’

Seung Hyung simply shrugged and he sat down comfortably with his legs crossed.

‘’Hum, you worry too much.’’ He said while opening the wine single handedly ‘’Why can’t you be positive for once soo? Let’s drink, it’s been a while.’’

‘’How can I not worry when my brother as the ability to open a wine bottle so easily but can barely defend himself under attack. ‘’ sighs Kyungsoo.

He pointed him accusingly with his index and a playful smile appeared on his face.

‘’You see still negative, let loose!’’, lamented Seung hyung ‘’Anyways I’m not worried you always figure it out.’’

Kyungsoo shook his head and frowned seriously.

‘’I don’t drink Seung Hyung, you know that. ‘’, mumbled the man with a cold expression.

Seung hyung smiled at the memory of the last time he drank in company of his brother. It was certainly something memorable.

‘’Right…so what do you have to say? I can tell you feel somewhat heavy about something.’’

‘’A lockdown…this is what’s wrong. I am trying to get you more security and also I know this is a lot to ask but put your partying days on hold for a while until everything is under control. We can’t risk having anyone coming in and out of your loft so easily anymore.’’

The smile on Seung hyung’s face faded slowly after hearing this answer. It wasn’t exactly what he wanted to hear. It was the total opposite.

‘’ Such unpleasant news you’re telling me brother’’, managed to say Seung hyung with an uncommon austere face.

It wasn’t long before Kyungsoo noticed the slight change of atmosphere in the room. But when he had something in mind, it usually happened his way and his brother wouldn’t stop him. He analyzed his brother from head to toe quickly. His body language seemed very tense and as if he would be ready to hit something soon. Kyungsoo had an eye for analyzing situations and people.

‘’I knew you wouldn’t exactly like it but we can’t do it any other way. The more attention were getting, the more enemies we will amass.’’ , he said perplexed by the strange attitude of Seung hyung.

He poured himself a glass of wine and he took a sip while looking at Kyungsoo with a dangerous glare. Now Kyungsoo was definitely on critical grounds, he didn’t know what he did. But it was enough to drive his brother almost insane judging by his eyes.

‘’No, it’s not that. Believe me I can handle wonderfully this whole little lockdown thing for a couple of days. Me, I am talking about this. ‘’

He got up and opened the television with the help of the remote control abruptly. On the screen figured two silhouettes in an empty parking lot. Kyungsoo quickly recognized himself with one of the assistants of Jong suk talking calmly yesterday night. He turned slowly to face his older brother.

‘’ What do you want me to see exactly?’’, he asked pokerfaced. ‘’ That you don’t have any sense of trust in me right? Well don’t worry I got the message perfectly.’’

He was mad, really mad that Seung hyung got someone to spy on him. He did nothing to arouse such suspicions. He did nothing but protect him from the outside world and he did everything in his power to keep him alive. How ungrateful of him but then again he wasn’t that surprised.

‘’Don’t turn this around and make me the bad guy here.’’, Seung hyung said tightly ‘’Why were you talking with one of Jong suk’s little ty minion?’’

Kyungsoo pitied deeply his brother. He couldn’t even tell who was on his side and who wasn’t.

‘’ Seung hyung all I can say for now is that if I wanted to plot something behind your back. I would’ve brought you down long time ago. But I didn’t, why you ask? Because I am too busy ing protecting you.’’, he continued with a quiet and cold tone, ‘’so you don’t want me on your bad side, brother.’’ He spat arrogantly.

Seung hyung could feel his body shivering because of the extremely unique coldness of Kyungsoo. How could he say such harsh words with a calm voice? It was those kinds of scary abilities that made him suspicious of the whereabouts of his sibling. He never did anything that could endanger him before. But why wouldn’t he? He had every reason to hate his guts. It just didn’t make sense for him to just willingly protect him.

‘’ Right, I just want to make sure your head is still in the game.’’, he muttered with difficulty.

Kyungsoo couldn’t help but let out a small somber chuckle.

‘’ Don’t worry about that Seung hyung. You know I don’t let myself get distracted, ever.’’, he reminded him. ‘’Not like you and the red head.’’

He didn’t exactly forget what he saw earlier. ‘’Ouch, you just had to make that comment didn’t you?’’, commented Seung hyung not amused by the remark.

He threw his tablet on the desk of his older brother shifting Seung hyung’s attention to the instrument. On the screen figured a picture of Jong suk holding hand with a old man and they were both smiling to the camera.

‘’The opportunity was there I just grabbed It.’’, he explained simply, ‘’ But I’m here to tell you about another more serious problem that just came up. The Chinese government is getting dangerously close with the North Korean government. They’re planning to let them use their soldiers to stop the civil war happening in Korea right now. They’re talking about all types of weapons; bombs, grenade launchers and the list could go on and on. It’s-‘’

Seung hyung interrupted panicking, ‘’ It’s ing catastrophic, we need this civil war to go on, were at the top of our game right now. Everyone sees us as heroes if this happen the current government will take over again and our position right now will lose its value. How could these North Korean bastards do this? They didn’t learn after we bombed half of their soldiers? What are our current options?’’

‘’ We have people working for us in China and Lisa knows quite a lot of people that would be willing to help us abolish this… partly. But it’s not enough to stop this from happening and they would probably all die from such treason …’’, he sighed heavily looking at the ground.

When he avoided his gaze it usually meant he had a something very unpleasing to say. ‘’I see you’re about to say something I’m not willing to hear aren’t you?’’

He nodded slowly, ‘’ I do have a close connection with Jong suk now for a reason I’m not willing to tell you…But if you trust me I can take him down in 6 months.’’

‘’6 months?! Are you crazy that’s more than enough time for them to install multiple army bases all around the country. We barely just controlled our problems with the F.K.A’’, he shook his head still not understanding the words of his brother, ‘’we will all be dead by that time. What about our plan soo? ’’

His eyes were now determined. He had to lay it on the line for Seung hyung to fully grasp the seriousness of the situation.

‘’He’s gone now? So what did he say…’’, she muttered her lids closed partly with a cigarette in .

Seung hyung took the lighter in the pocket of his robe and gave her some fire nonchalantly. ‘’I should stop letting you get in my head with your dumb theories. That’s what he said.’’

‘’No really, what did he say?’’

‘’He’s not after us Bom. He’s not trying to do anything that could interfere with our plans.’’

‘’He just has secrets right?’’, she said with a smirk ‘’ How adorable.’’

‘’ A lot of secrets but I won’t blame him for that.’’ He continued carefully ‘’I should be the last one to do so.’’

She pouted adorably and met his piercing eyes. Park bom blew some smoke on his face slowly. He didn’t even cringe.

‘’ Choi just make sure you have everything under control. As you might have noticed I love to have a little fun in life. I’m a pretty peaceful person actually.’’ Seung hyung couldn’t help but snicker at her self-praise. ‘’ But I despise when people rob me from what is mine understood?’’

He took the cigarette out of and kissed her deeply. ‘’Understood.’’ He muttered his lips still attached to hers.

‘’Or I will make sure to make your life hell again…’’ She said still kissing him passionately.

‘’ Hey, Hi.’’, muttered a relaxed blonde man, Zhang Yixing.

The petite woman let the tall Chinese man into her home. She looked like a total mess but this was just her usual look. Her blonde hair was disheveled and her makeup was smeared all over her face. Meanwhile her eyes seemed dead; they were as dark as the night. She probably didn’t get much sleep considering her apparent dark circles but she never did. Her small hands were tied to each other with handcuffs.

‘’ I want to play though…’’ she said darkly with a small pout.

He entered the very small and dirty apartment. Unbothered by the state of the place he dropped his bag at the entry comfortably. It wasn’t his first time here.

‘’I know and this is why I’m here to control you from doing so.’’, responded nonchalantly the male while patting her head.‘’ I am guarding our adorable L-HI tonight.’’

‘’ It must be tiring to always come here every other night.’’, she said with a calm tone.

He couldn’t tell if she was being worried or just annoyed.

‘’No, I love being your sleeping buddy.’’, he said with a smile.

Her home had no furniture at all. There was only a lonely refrigerator almost empty and an old forest green leather chair. Yixing couldn’t help but feel sad every time he realized how pitiful his childhood friend was. But she didn’t seem to realize it. She walked slowly and sat down in the middle of her empty cold room. ‘’ Did she say anything to you yet?’’

‘’ She wants me to keep you away from anything with a blade.’’, he snickered gloomily. ‘’But that’s nothing new right?’’

He dropped something next to her. She looked at it curiously. ‘’Ah, soap.’’

‘’Take a bath it’s been a month now…’’, he added calmly ‘’I’ll be there with you don’t worry.’’

She got up and looked at him with those big dark eyes. Those same eyes, that just lost any sense of humanity when she killed someone.  He witnessed it too many times. Sometimes he didn’t know what he was looking at when he was in her presence. Was she even human? Yes, she was a weapon, a very dangerous one. She had the capability to kill anyone with cold blood and she had absolutely no regrets afterwards. L-HI was her codename, rare were the people that called her by her real name.

Because they feared that if they did, it would mean she was more human than they thought. But she was a human, she just lost her way. This apartment was actually under high security it was impossible for her to escape it.  It’s been months since she’s been trapped here and he was the only one with Chaerin to come visit her.  Because the last time she’s been out of this place more than 500 men died cruelly. She suddenly touched his broad chest.

 ‘’ You’re scared, your heart is beating so fast.’’ She muttered looking absently at her hand.’’ So fast just because of me, I can’t help but feel honored.’’

He gulped loudly enough for her to grin. It was true that he started recently to fear her slightly. This small woman that seemed so harmless at first scared the living crap out of him. She did look a little crazy but no one could anticipate what she could do next and that was more horrifying. She hugged him silently; it wasn’t uncomfortable because they hugged before. Her figure was so skinny. It was truly upsetting to see her not eating enough she deserved a better lifestyle then this. She was dangerous but she was also a human.He had to hold onto these thoughts because she was still like a little sister to him. He should try to talk with Bom about her harsh sentence. While he hugged he noticed how good she smelled considering the fact that she didn’t take a bath for such a long time.

‘’ Go in the bathroom. I’ll come just give me a few minutes to install my bed.’’, he mumbled carefully.

She looked at him daringly one last time and left the room to get inside the bathroom like he said without a single word. He waited until she closed the door and immediately after he started to look around quickly. Yixing searched every parts of the apartment but he didn’t find anything abnormal like he expected. These days he was under the impression that she found a way to escape the apartment without their knowledge. Because when he came to visit her place, her clothes seemed extremely dirty, too dirty for someone that’s been locked in a house for 5 months. He just didn’t understand how she did it. They made sure to dispossess her from any kind of weapon. They also took her cellphone so she couldn’t contact anyone from the outside world. He was the one that kept it on him every day in his left pocket so he wouldn’t miss a single call she gets. Actually it’s been ringing all day quite a lot and every time he tried to call back the number wasn’t responding. Suddenly, He saw that the soap was still laying on the ground. He picked it up and walked to the closed door. How strange the water was still not running. Afraid, he entered the bathroom abruptly but it was completely empty. He knew it.

‘’Hello, Mr. Choi I am on my way to the garage at this instant. I took care of my little problem. ’’, sang lightly L-HI on the phone.

Kyungsoo was now comfortably sitting down in his hidden computer lab. He wasn't one to usually deal with technology in his organization. He usually left all of this for Hanbin who specialized in that field. But today he couldn't let anyone know about what he was about to witness. His lab contained at least a 100 highly intelligent and performant computers and about 10 keyboards. He looked at a particular computer screen, it was a camera he installed in the old garage where he was supposed to have a meeting with L-HI. He didn’t show up, no he was going to test her instead. He did this with every single person he meets. He couldn’t just work with anyone. Especially, if he didn’t know what she was capable of. He finally saw a petite woman enter the garage. She looked around curiously and he took a little time to look her up and down once again. He did this with everyone he encountered. It was almost a game for him to analyze people and presume what they would do next. A game he never lost. But strangely she didn’t give him any particular aura. She was just cold. The girl sat on a chair and looked at her nails disinterested. He noticed her hands were attached to each other with handcuffs.

‘’I’ll give you something to do.’’, muttered Kyungsoo.

He clicked on one button and said out loud ‘’ You guys can go now.’’ He then laid back on his chair and took a sip of his black coffee waiting for the show to start.

‘’Let’s see what you’ve got.’’

A bunch of imposing men all dressed in dark suits entered the scene. Kyungsoo knew at that point that this girl was already dead but why should he care. He sent her at least 30 of his best men. Kyungsoo tod them only one thing "Kill her." He was sure they got the message perfectly.The men all looked at each other with a smile on their faces. She still continued to not mind them even if they were everywhere now surrounding her. Suddenly, one of the men jumped on her to attack. But she got out immediately of her chair and then she did an incredible back jump that made her end up on the shoulders of the man that tried to attack her. Because of the sudden shock he fell abruptly on his knees. He let out a painful groan. She used her handcuffs to strangle him violently. His neck cracked and he fell to the ground. He was dead. Multiple other men tried to attack her but she dodged them all and she used the heel of her shoe to stab the neck of one them. At this point she was killing them all without a single hardship. Kyungsoo was immersed by this absurd scene.  She killed them all, in approximatively 15 minutes but there was still one left. He was crying.

‘’Don’t kill me please, I’ve got a wife.’’

‘’ I should treat you well especially because of this right?’’, she said with a slight pout.

She then dragged him without much difficulty in one corner of the garage. A lot of dangerous instruments were put there. Kyungsoo couldn’t get his eyes off the screen. What kind of devilish woman was she? He tried to escape but she kicked him hard enough for his ear to start pouring blood and she also attacked his legs. She a saw and busted the chains that were attaching her wrists.

‘’Finally, free now I will be able to take care of you with all my attention lovely’’

She attached all of s to chains that were attached to a gigantic wheel. He was suspended in the air in a ‘X’ position.

‘’It will stretch just a bit.’’, she managed to say through her hysterical laughter.

She then proceeded to turn the wheel slowly at first. ‘’She wouldn’t do this’’, mumbled Kyungsoo out of his mind. But she indeed did it without a single moment of hesitation. The man started to scream when his arms and legs couldn’t stretch anymore. However, she did not stop.  His bones cracked in a horrible way and his skin started to shred. It was the most horrible scene Kyungsoo has seen in a while. She was laughing, laughing with a glimmer of fun in her eyes. Finally, she stopped turning the wheel when the man stopped screaming. He was dead.

’’Why are you dead so quickly, you’re no fun.’’, she sighed deceived.  

Kyungsoo let out a heavy sigh too while his head rested in his palms. How could he deal with this mess? She was too much for him to handle. Even for him that dealt with Bobby's impulsiveness on a daily or Krytal's snappy attitude. Suddenly, he heard a voice calling his name through the screen. He looked again at his computer and she was looking dead on in the lens of the hidden camera. She did a small elegant reverence.

‘’It was fun right…Kyungsoo? Next time let’s meet in person.’’, she snickered ‘’I’m excited to work with you seems like I’ll have a lot of toys to play with in your company.’’

She would be hard to handle but for some reason, he didn't dislike the idea of working with her as much anymore. Kyungsoo wasn't one to get interested in others but she intrigued him.  She really did.
