Run-8 (Discontinued)

Description

It’s an irrelevant death sentence to Chaeyoung when her next assignment is to perform corporate espionage and infiltrate a company suspected of manufacturing and distributing one of the world’s deadliest drugs. But with infiltration comes repercussions: attachments form, and double lives intertwine.

The allure, beauty, and danger of this designer-drug underworld easily consume Chaeyoung in unprecedented ways. Before she even knows it, the assignment spirals out of control, and the already blurry lines of her morals and consciousness of what is right and wrong begin to disappear. As a result, Chaeyoung finds herself on the frontlines in a battle between self-sacrifice and self-perseverance—in between perception and reality.

Deaths can be deathless after all, and powders and pills aren’t the only drugs in the world.

notes

I asked, and you guys answered: my new story should be about Xiumin.

Sehun will be a main character too, but don’t worry about love triangles.

The poem/epigraph at the beginning was the main inspiration for this story. I’ve always marveled about it, but the idea is finally bursting out of the drawer. My initial thought was actually to make this about Baekhyun, but there’s not enough stories on AFF with Xiu and an OC. I really do hope he gets more love; he deserves it.

Lastly, Run-8 might be a longer story (we’re talking 200,000+ words), so expect slow build-ups of anything, really.

The first chapter will be posted before this weekend (March 29)!
