End of the World as We Know It
Description
You refuse to mate with anyone who can't beat you in combat. Junmyeon volunteers to fight you, if not to the death, then to the pun.
Foreword
"You were silent for a moment, examining him. Everyone in the new world had a story, and you understood that tone, that expression. You didn’t push. 'So...what do you do?'
'Whatever’s necessary. I’ve been a ranger. A tracker. A raider. A hunter. I’m quick, and I’m silent. I can get in, kill, and get out before grendel realize that anyone’s there.'
'Mm.' You had heard about soldiers like him. Ghosts. Though unranked, they were highly prized in any camp, and were often the deadliest members.
Major Leif scoffed. 'You?! A former boyband member? A ghost?!' His tone was incredulous.
Junmyeon smirked, his eyes twinkling. 'As a...boyband member, as you so eloquently put it,' here Leif’ flushed red to the tips of his ears, 'I had to run 10 miles, every day, without fail, rain, snow, sickness--it didn’t matter. We were trained--on next to no food--in precision and flexibility, dancing and exercising for more hours than we slept. So, yes, I suppose my prior training as a boyband member made me eminently eligible to become a ghost.'
He was arrogant.
You liked it."
