Description

Park Hana just wanted to do her job.

Sure, technically, she wasn't supposed to be doing her job, but if there were to be any issues, she expected them to be coming from her chief and most definitely not through a balcony.

And so, Hana didn't know what to say when a complete stranger came barreling through the balcony of her friend’s apartment, jumping over the small bed of flowers, blurting out something about crazy girls chasing him. The entire situation at that moment had many things going wrong.

One, the guy just trespassed.

Two, there were girls screaming in the distance.

Three, the man she was watching just disappeared from her view. Four, after a few seconds of utter frustration at losing her target, she realized who the man -- or rather, popular Chinese actor -- was.

Zhang Yixing.


“Seriously, Myungsoo? There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is full!”

“Well how about a crisis right now?”


“Oh freaking hell, someone teach the man self defense. Either that or how to walk in a straight line. He isn't even near the bad guys and still manages to attract trouble.”

“Hey! I am a perfectly good archer.”

“Yeah that's totally going to work because you're in the Hunger Games.

 

Foreword

Hello there!

This is written for Korekrypta's writing challenge called First Frost (click to be redirected the the challenge!). I've also entered this into BlackRosesTears' A Beautiful Journey writing contest. This is actually my first official EXO fic, and I decided on using Yixing because I adore him like I adore Dongwoo - they're not my biases of the groups, but they're so dang precious and hilarious. Not to mention extremely talented. 

This is a mystery fic with mentions of blood/gore. If there is anything too violent or graphic, I will mark it [M] (though I doubt there will be anything that warrants that). Also, it is loosely inspired by the T.V show, Castle. I realized this after I had already come up with the plot so :) WARNING: COMMENT SECTION CONTAIN SPOILERS. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. However, I do appreciate comments! I will always reply to each one!

July 6th, 2020 Update: Nearly 3 years after I finished the fic, I've decided that I'm going to go through and extensively edit the fic to make sure it flows better, but I doubt it'll have much affect on the actual overall plot!

The prompts I have used are the following:

Scenario Prompt #4: A is a celebrity/rich, famous person/royalty looking to escape from the press and accidentally gatecrashes/trespasses into B's property/room and cheefully requests sanctuary.

Image Prompt

Quote Prompt #29: There cannot be a crisis next week.  My schedule is already full. – Henry A. Kissinger

The challenge I am entering this under is Mixed (start date: April 21st, 2017; end date: October 21st, 2017 with a special chapter posted on October 27th, 2017)

Chapter 38: I really love the dynamic of the first interaction between Yixing and Hana here. I totally can imagine the situation of how strong Hana's character is and how Yixing is feeling intimidated by her.

the sentences of who are speaking get me confused here and there but they don't change the fact that it's exceptional writing. I enjoy the story a lot and it's just the beginning <3
