Work Text:
In a mansion that appears to have been abandoned for years, it appears to have become a haunted house, and people would be hesitant to approach it. As you enter, the atmosphere is dark, strange, and eerie, but what will surprise you the most, is the presence of multiple assassin corpses.
Upon further inspection, you’d notice how a gunshot killed them all.
“This is the Conquer King, mission accomplished.”
A man with a massive build, silk raven and somewhat bouncy locks that aren't combed properly but are luxuriant making him more appealing; his eyes were gray but in this pitch black room they were glowing in bright yellow and he was attentively inspecting every corpse. His black fitted turtleneck, as well as his face, are stained with blood.
[That's fantastic; the EDEN will dispatch personnel to investigate and clean it up.] Thank you for your service, Conqueror King; you may now return to your home.]
The other line, thanking the man known as Conqueror King, sounded heartfelt.. The spy didn't react and instead waited for the other line to hang up.
"Dokja and Yoosung should be asleep by now," he says, wiping the blood from his cheeks and washing himself, hands, and even his handkerchief.
He puts the gun away and puts on a clean white coat, buttoning the buttons and brushing his hair with his hands. The white coat had a nameplate on it that read, 'Psychiatrist Yoo Joonghyuk.'
And it was at that moment, as he walked out of the abandoned mansion, stepping over every corpse he came across, is when he was greeted by the lovely breeze, which made his raven locks flutter.
Yoo Joonghyuk looks up at the dark poetic sky, and the constellation above him appears to extend out their glittering.
“It's time to return home.”
Despite his chilly tone, there was a tinge of enthusiasm in his voice.
___
“Is something wrong, Ma?”
A small girl who appears to be six years old but is actually nine, pale blonde and red eyes.
Shin Yoosung, a child with a hidden ability that allows her to read people’s minds. In short, an esper.
“It's nothing, Yoosung; you should be sleeping by now.”
“It’s nothing, Yoosung.” Her mother reassures her. “You should be sleeping by now.”
‘I'm just interested if that mola-mol-ah, I mean Joonghyuk-ah, has many patients today?’ A voice enters the child's mind, giving out what the man was actually thinking of.
As the small girl read mother’s false thoughts, completely different from what her mother told her. She sighs, her mother—even though the person who has been looking after her for a very long time for global peace is a male, she loves to address him as her mother, though the crafty and good liar mother doesn't mind—
“I should tuck you in your bed, Yoosung. It's pretty late,” he says to Yoosung, his smooth and sweet voice full of worry.
He have coal black threads of hair that any person would be tempted to touch because it seems smooth which is true, his face that doesn't have that much fat, if this kind of person who has been blessed by heaven and earth is called as ugly, then every person should be a shrimp.
Kim Dokja, a nice and compassionate man, who became someone's fake wife to escape the suspicious eyes targeted towards him and to give his friend, Uriel, someone that he considers as his own sister, a peace of mind while he’s at it.
Yet in reality, he is an assassin, someone who has a crafty and metallic personality, who might and could stab you with his golden needles at any given time, mercilessly. And is someone who could unexpectedly turn the tables.
“No! I want to wait for Pa!” She exclaims before continuing to watch another episode of her favorite show, ‘Omniscient Reader’. A good show about disasters and calamities.
'Joonghyuk-ah, you basta—-sunfis—-ah, I mean human, come home right now, come home right now. Our darling little child is waiting for you!’
Shin Yoosung just giggles at her mother's thoughts, knowing how secretive her family is, but she is, as well, so it's no big deal.
'The light coming from the bulbs is still turned on?’
She rises from her seat, her eyes shining brightly as she hears a notion approaching her.
“Pa has arrived!”
“Oh, Yoosung, be careful!”
When the door opened, a guy in uniform appears in front of him, in front of him, surprised to see that Yoosung was the one to welcome him first, instantly hugging his knees.
“Welcome home, Pa!” She greets, still not letting go of his knees.
“How come you're still awake?” Yoo Joonghyuk inquires, unconcerned about her childish behavior against him.
“Well, she waited for you.” a shorter ravenette says. “She refuses to get tucked in because she wanted to see you.”
‘Plus, I waited for you as well.’ Dokja thinks, not knowing someone else can read his true feelings.
“And you agreed with that?” Yoo Joonghyuk raises a brow towards Dokja while gently caressing his daughter’s head.
‘Still, seeing the two of you greet me after an exhausting mission isn’t too bad.’
‘Ma and Pa are such tsunderes,’ Shin Yoosung sighs.
“You know that I can't force her to go to sleep right?” Kim Dokja grumbles as he takes a step towards Yoo Joonghyuk,
‘And tomorrow is weekend, so Yoosung don't have to go to school and I don't have to get her up early.’
“You do know that I can’t force her to sleep, right?” Dokja grumbles, taking a step towards Joonghyuk.
“Fair enough,” 'But, you should at least get enough sleep,' Yoo Joonghyuk think.
Shin Yoosung couldn’t help but giggle at their inner thoughts, aren't they actually flirting with each other? Is this what Yoo Mia said about adult things? Flirting?
“Heh,”
The two ravenettes exchange glances, shaking their heads before thinking, ‘She’s doing that again.’
“Anyway, you must have had a lot of patients to come home this late, huh?”
Dokja came closer towards his ‘husband’ to gently unbutton his coat, making Joonghyuk look down, not knowing how to react. However, seeing his pretend wife like this softens him a bit, deciding to let him do whatever he wants.
“Yes, there are a lot of patients, and some of them are suffering from deep mental stress.”
‘Though, I silenced them with my gun.’
Yoo Joonghyuk spat out lies after lies with an unbelievably straight face.
“It must be really difficult to take care of patients like that.”
‘Being a psychiatrist is not a laughing matter…’
Dokja thinks to himself, easily falling for his deception.
Meanwhile, Yoosung simply watches as the most vicious assassin and greatest spy exchange their lies.
‘They are outright liars, but they are cool while lying!’
Shin Yoosung pondered,
Love, after all, is blind.
Only a single piece of fabric separates the so-called 'heaven' by Kim Dokja, and Yoo Joonghyuk's chest as soon as the black turtleneck was uncovered.
Kim Dokja coughs and hastily looks away to avoid eye contact with Yoo Joonghyuk, gently folding his coat and placing it on the table.
‘I can't get enough of his tits…’
Before Dokja picked Yoosung up, Yoo Joonghyuk can only look at the smaller man, smiling uncomfortably at him.
‘Does it have anything to do with my chest? It can't be that, right?’
Shin Yoosung, the small curious child that she is, is naturally intrigued; she is currently in her mother's arm, Pondering how she has nothing to lose, she cautiously inquires,
"What exactly is tits?"
Yoo Joonghyuk halts his action at his daughter's remark, while Kim Dokja coughs several times, his eyes widening right after.
“What?”
“Yoosung! Where did you learn that word from?!”
‘From you…?’
Shin Yoosung read his thoughts, although she is curious, she didn't question it any further. Shin Yoosung hesitates to respond, so she chose to explain that she learned it from her classmates.
“It's an unsuitable phrase for someone's body part, you don't have to know that because you're still a kid,” Kim Dokja explains awkwardly to their daughter, behind him was the tall ravenette, nodding as he agrees with Dokja.
“Why?”
“Cough cough, well.. hmm.. what's up with the recent update of the drama series?” The tiny, little girl's father that was carrying her quickly changed the subject, not wanting to jeopardize her daughter's innocence.
Shin Yoosung read his thoughts, and while she was intrigued, she did not pursue the matter further.
Yoo Joonghyuk, who is standing behind them, smiles a little and concentrates his attention on his 'fake' child and wife bonding, hoping that this moment will last.
“He abandoned his wife and child!”
Shin Yoosung grumbles as if she were a typical child,
His smile trembled.
“Oh, isn't that so selfless? Everyone has their own selfishness, but to think he did it for the country would make me cry for years if I were his wife!” Kim Dokja chimed in, pretending to wipe his tears away.
Yoo Joonghyuk stood still, unable to utter a single word or think.
He coughs a little, shifting the subject and ignoring the guilt that is developing in his system.
"Let's go on a picnic tomorrow," he says, and the other ravenettes smile and nod, while the little girl's eyes sparkle and she asks,
"Let's go have some pizza!"
"We would if you had gone to bed by now."
"I'm going to tuck her in now, Joonghyuk-ah, but you should first take a bath.”
Kim Dokja and Shin Yoosung began to take a step to the room,
But seeing their backs vanish made him feel as if they were not going to see each other again, forever.
‘I don't feel any regrets..., It's for the world peace…’
___
Walking in crowded places, chattering between sellers and buyers, neighbors catching up, a lot of people shopping and many restaurants could be also seen,new friends being made, the hustle and bustle brings life to this capital.
‘You have a mighty black flame dragon out there, though not mighty as mine!’
‘Who's bitch hurt my Dokj- I'm the bitch!?’
‘Maknae-yah you are a hatchling compared to the other myth constellations! Are you out of your mind!?’
‘Why is it not me, but you?’
Though, someone is fed up by those thoughts of the crowded, resulting in the little girl in the arms of her father in pain.
Those crammed thoughts irritate Shin Yoosung, resulting in the small child crying in her father's arms.
Yoo Joonghyuk is at a loss on what to do.
When they go out, Shin Yoosung is always like this; she covers her ears and closes her eyes in discomfort, and she occasionally gets a nosebleed.
As they walk, he sighs, tightly clutching the young girl.
Kim Dokja, who is walking alongside them, can't help but get up and worriedly ask his daughter, but when he doesn't get a response, he instead wipes the sweat from her brow as they walk quickly in the crowd.
“If you're not feeling well, Yoosung, we can go home.”
‘You're sweating profusely! Oh no, we need to get a doct-’
“Kim Dokja is right,”
‘I hate to see you like this.’
Shin Yoosung merely smiled and shook her head. She always appreciated their concerns, but it wasn't a big worry for her because it would be gone once they were at their destination.
“No, Ma and Pa, Yoosung is okay! let's go to the home appliance store; everything will be fine shortly!” The small girl responds joyfully, despite the fact that it appears forced.
When they heard it, they both looked at each other and agreed, knowing that it was Yoosung's wish and that their daughter had always been open to them. When she didn't like anything or wasn't feeling well, she always stated it.
As they approached the shop, Yoosung gradually recovered from her previous condition of illness and regained her vitality; the shop was not overcrowded, and she was able to handle it.
‘Is she all right now?’
“Ma and Pa, I'm fine now!” The pale-blonde child responds, startling Dokja and making her grin.
‘How come Yoosung seems to be able to read my mind? Is it really that obvious?’
Yoosung simply responds with a smile as they resume what they are doing.
Yoo Joonghyuk signs quietly; truth be told, he does not want to rely on people to achieve something he has always desired, but this mission has transformed him into a patient guy.
“Pa! Look! Look! The monkey has no hair!” The small child, her daughter that is necessary for world peace, exclaims abnormally.
‘However, she's always been abnormal…’
Shin Yoosung scoffed at the thought of his father, wanting to retort that he, too, was the same, but she prudently kept her mouth quiet.
Raising his brows, the father in need of a break, he sighs because Yoosung's mood swings.
He turned his focus to the store's kitchen department, where his wife is currently residing.
He's holding a knife, the squid- Kim Dokja, and he's touching the end of it as if he's in love with it.
Yoo Joonghyuk frowns and wonders if Kim Dokja enjoys sharp objects. For example, when he spotted needles and shackles in their room, Kim Dokja's stare instantaneously changed into a kitten.
“How could we look like an average family when at the beginning, we are not?” He grumbled and grimaced.
It's not like he cares; he's also weird, but not as abnormal as these two,
“Come on, let's go and have a picnic in the park.”
___
People may hear children shouting and the air is filled with people's voices at the park, which has grassy grounds and a tranquil environment. There are several trees on the left and right sides with people sitting under them reading books or enjoying picnics.
It was so quiet that those two people who had been through the worst began to wonder if this was the calm before the storm.
“So quiet…” said a man leaning against a tree with a blanket beneath him.
Kim Dokja can't help but hope, “I hope this moment lasts…”
“Why do you think it won't?” Yoo Joonghyuk whose head was in his husband's lap, peacefully laying down there as he felt the hands of Dokja stroking his hair.
It is, indeed, far too tranquil.
“After all, who knows what will happen in the future? It may be turmoil or this kind of tranquility would continues..." Kim Dokja reasoned as he closed his eyes, his hair fluttering in the breeze.
‘Well, this punk is right,’ Yoo Joonghyuk agrees.
“I know the future is uncertain, even though I know everything is simply a deal for our own benefits, but seeing Yoosung happy like that, I can't help but treasure every minute with the two of you…” Kim Dokja smiles,
Kim Dokja explains as he continue stroking Yoo Joonghyuk hair, they look at the area of the park where Shin Yoosung has been playing at. The little girl, their daughter is playing and having fun which makes the two of them soften.
Yoo Joonghyuk just nodded and sigh softly, another reason to motivates him to continue this mission of his.
“Ma and Pa! I'm going to play there!”
Shin Yoosung shout at them as they respond,
“Be careful”
“Don't get too far Yoosung!”
Yoosung nodded happily and smiled before she ran to play with the other kids in the park.
Watching this peaceful scene unfold before their eyes, they can't help it but to appreciate every moment of it. Treasures this memory because the two of them both knew what kind of future is waiting for them.
___
Playing with the other kids is tedious for Shin Yoosung, with the exception of her buddy Yoo Mia, who is always talking about something adult or mature.
Though she only comes here to play with the other kids to give her parents some space,
‘Based on what Mia told me, what they're doing now is mature!’
She's also searching for some excitement.
“Then the sunfish choke the squid and and and-”
“And they become companions!”
Shin Yoosung just watch her playmates in amusement before clapping her hands, she is interested by the development of the story.
“And and and they kis-”
“No!! The squid sacrifice himself-”
“Don't jinx it!”
She just chuckle at the conversation, somehow the sunfish and squid they are talking about reminds her somehow of her parents.
Staying there and having fun, Shin Yoosung couldn't be more happier.
As time goes by, she play with the other kids, playing hide and seek and other games, until she heard something,
‘Isn't that child is-?’
‘hehe free money’
She initially looks at her father and mother, who are immersed in their own worlds and flirting.
‘Adventure!’
Her eyes are brightening; a nasty guy has arrived! It denotes an exciting journey! She tracks the individual whose thoughts were certainly those of a terrible guy after she apologizes to her playmates.
She followed the source of those ideas, oblivious to the passage of time as she walked and looked for the terrible guy.
Until she can't,
“Caught you 041.”
Her eyes blurry and try to scream but the handkerchief with sleeping paralysis effect makes it hard to do so,
She soon give in and before she become unconscious,
‘Pa and Ma… please help.’
___
“Yoosung come out now! We are not playing hide and seek!”
Kim Dokja's voice echoed around the park. It's afternoon now and the sun is going to be replaced by the moon later on, there's not many people in the park anymore. Just two, but it was supposed to be three.
“Yoosung, come out.”
Yoo Joonghyuk cold voice also could be heard, yet there was a hint of panic and concern as he keep searching his precious beloved in every bushes.
Then he saw Kim Dokja running towards him, “I already searched the entire park and I can't see her anywhere…”
Kim Dokja covered her face, worried is clearly visible and his hands is slightly shaking,
‘I'm such a careless person-’
The other man, his husband, notices it and massages Dokja's hands, allowing him to think clearly.
“Don't have a negative thoughts, it's bad for our current situation, Yoosung is a smart girl, have faith,” he attempted to console him, and it worked; they settled for a minute and both of them calmed down.
“What shall we do now, Joonghyuk-ah?”
Kim Dokja inquires.
“At this point, we should report it to the officials,” Yoo Joonghyuk suggested, and the other person appears to concur.
They begin to look away, both concerned about their daughter's condition and whereabouts, but while being intelligent fighters, they are powerless to intervene. They had just started walking towards the nearby police station.
Two people comfort each other and hope for the best.
“Yoosung…”
Kim Dokja mumbled as he sank softly to their couch's cushion.
“Yoosung is a smart girl; she would be safe, and the police would look for them as well. Don't lose hope," Yoo Joonghyuk said as he sat on the couch, attempting to cheer them up.
They've just finished reporting to the authorities about a missing child and have returned home on the recommendation of the police so they can keep them updated.
‘Plus, if the police chief knew my identity, they'd prioritize looking for her, and EDEN is looking for Yoosung as well.’
Yoo Joonghyuk clench his fist, yes, it would be okay soon. They would be able to track her location and whereabouts.
As for Kim Dokja who's staring at the ceiling, well he is having a vicious thoughts,
‘I want to commit murder. Heck, I'm really a reckless mother right? To think that I am too distracted and didn't notices the abnormally-’
His attention fell on Yoo Joonghyuk, who must be more concerned than he is; they are blood relatives, and it must be difficult to remain calm while feeling panicked inside.
They wait, wait and wait for the call.
As the telephone rang, both of them jolted out and Joonghyuk immediately ran to its direction and waited for the words of a familiar caller.
[We receive a report, Conqueror King, Shin Yoosung, six years old girl with red eyes and blonde hair is kidnapped and we are tracking down the coordinates.]
The boss on the other side straightforwardly answer,
“I knew it.”
‘Fuck fuck fuck-’
‘Thank you.’
‘Calm down Conqueror King, this is not a spy suppose to act but FUCK IT.’
He unconsciously bite off his lips and close his eyes before putting back the telephone at it's right place, glancing at Kim Dokja who's looking at him desperately,
“Shin Yoosung was kidnapped.”
Kim Dokja froze, his two fist clenched and veins almost appeared at his face, he is angry, angry to himself as well to those kidnappers.
“What are we going to do?” Kim Dokja ask, nonchalant as possible,
“Wait and hope for the police…” Yoo Joonghyuk respond, someone needs to die– someone really needs to die tonight.
After settling it for a moment, both of them are calm outside but inside, there was a bloodlust emitting from them.
“It's already ten pm, I need to attend my night shift Kim Dokja…” He explained as he buttoned his white coat uniform and secured the pistol with a silencer in his pants.
“It's also ten pm… I need to pass the papers at the council…” Kim Dokja also stood up, he fix his hair and attires before he look at the other man.
They began to walk and no one spoke or have energy to, they are craving for blood. A battle, a mess, no one spoke as they reach outside.
Standing outside of their apartment, they make an eye contact and Kim Dokja smile,
“This day must be hard for the both of us. Please keep me updated for this incident, send me a telegram if the police update you Joonghyuk-ah.”
Yoo Joonghyuk nodded and wave his hands,
The both of them parted away.
Not knowing what kind of trouble awaits them.
___
A building appears to be mysterious, but there are numerous people strolling around even though their footsteps are very light.
The edifice was inspired by an old fashioned myth, and it was magnificent in form and construction.
But Kim Dokja is not in the right mind to notices every single details right now,
As he reach a certain door, he knock multiple times,
“Underworld Prince is here.”
“Come in.”
As soon as he opened it, he was greeted by an old-fashioned office with a lot of paperwork, an archery target with a lot of daggers on it, and a man in the center.
The leader of the Olympus, Zeus.
“I greet the Underworld Prince,”
“Get to the point, Zeus.”
Zeus chuckles before turning serious and point his finger to a certain paper,
“We already located the location.”
Kim Dokja eyes shone and the hope within his heart is starting to increase, the reaction of his looks so desperate which makes Zeus smiles and continued,
“It's in an abandoned building with an underground on it, no one try to explore it- rather every person who tried to explore the underground were never found.”
Zeus stated, Kim Dokja paid attention to it and a plan is already forming on his head.
“What is the mission? Other than rescuing my daughter, what do you want me to do Zeus?”
“Serious aren't we? That personality of yours really reminds me of your father.” Zeus smile and he can imagine the person in front of him, as a copy paste of his brother, Hades of the Underworld.
“Get over it, what is the mission?”
Kim Dokja don't have enough patience to deal with this, knowing that someone precious to him is in danger.
“The Conqueror King, the world's greatest spy, my mission for you is to assassinate him.”
Kim Dokja stop for a moment before sighing, not caring if his target is one of the dangerous fellow, he just want to rescue his dear daughter.
“As you wish.”
____
This area could be described as a holy site by someone. The ceiling and walls are entirely white, and everything is based on biblical mythology. Every statue you pass through is too sacred, yet there are cameras and weapons hidden around every corner, ready to strike you at any moment.
Yoo Joonghyuk pass through all of those, other members greeted him as if he was a VIP, they bow because knowing their one and only greatest spy visiting at this hour is a blessing for the newcomer.
As he reach the door at the last floor, he opened it without knocking.
“Conqueror King, where is your manners?” A man with blonde long hair greeted him, wearing a glasses and a pair of eyes that can make a person think he is an angel.
“The mission, location, give it to me.”
Yoo Joonghyuk straightforwardly tell it to the leader of EDEN, he don't care about manners or sort of, especially when he is taking the role of a spy.
‘A spy don't need to be formal to it's prey.’
“You are still the same, I see.” Metatron chuckles as he handed a file which Joonghyuk took it and began reading it,
“Underground..? Laboratory?” He muttered as he began reading it, scrutinizing the file and few conclusion came to his mind.
“What's more?”
“You are sharp as ever, Conqueror King.”
“Get over it, just tell me.” Yoo Joonghyuk complains, he is desperate to kill and release the bloodlust within him.
“Base from the information we got, the Olympus seems to paying attention to this building,”
Metatron pause for a moment before he continues,
“They sent the Underworld Prince in this building, be careful. Try to negotiate or perhaps kill 'him' if you ever encountered him. Olympus is a threat to world peace.”
“Underworld Prince…?”
“Yes, the cruelest assassin to ever live, the Underworld is the home for the assassin and prisoners, he was the son of the King and Queen of the Underworld, Hades and Persephone's beloved heir. The prince that no one knew what he looked like.”
Metatron tapped the mahogany table twice and look at him, before curling his lips,
“As for now, we are not on bad terms with the Underworld. You can capture the Underworld Prince and we can use him in negotiating with the Underworld.”
Yoo Joonghyuk didn't care, as long as he rescued the little child, it's fine but considering how the bloodlust inside him seems wanting to be released,
He just smirked,
“It won't be bad to play with him right?”
“Yes.”
“Sure, I'm going now. Bye.”
Yoo Joonghyuk left,
Without knowing that he would face one of the biggest catastrophe of his life.
____
In the middle of the forest, there was a decrepit building, it's gloomy and scary. The black door in front can make a person hesitant to enter, though the peelings of the door are all in a brown that surrendered to the high sun years ago.
Yoo Joonghyuk opened it, it creaked, the moan echoing to the rafters that still fight the sagging roof above, he roam his eyes around and the large windows no longer beckon light inside, no longer lift the gloom that the walls impose. Instead they add to the growing sense of damp and dark permit the chill of wind to penetrate.
He took off his disguise and wipe away the dirt in his black turtleneck cloth.
‘Dealing with the security is such a hassle.’
He sigh, reloading his gun and putting a silencer, the security he gone pass through is strict. There's atleast five procedure to go in this abandoned building.
As a master of disguise and a expert in combat, Yoo Joonghyuk easily pass through the security and also he disposed some enemies while in the process, quite as possible of course.
‘I can't take a risk to set this building in flame this early, especially when I don't even know where is Yoosung.’
He place another mask, and keep his posture, observing the surrounding as he began to walk,
‘There's too many room… I wonder where's the way for the underground.’
Yoo Joonghyuk can do anything he wants in this floor, there's almost no people roaming around in this floor, well the building atleast have thirty floors or more, it's a relief that there's no CCTV around and people here. Well having no people in this area and guards makes this place more suspicious.
‘It said it's a laboratory? Maybe the laboratory is underground.’
He put his weight against the center panel of the old door and pushed hart, a sound like fingernails across a blackboard screamed from the rusty hinges.
What welcomes Yoo Joonghyuk is a old bedroom an old mattress lay against one wall, he carefully observe it.
There the ever present sound of dripping water echoing from somewhere further ahead and the flutter of wings spoke high in the rafters above.
Entering the abandoned room, he sigh softly, touching some object carefully with a gloves and observe it.
There's no reason for him to stay longer but,
‘One… two… Three!’
BANG!
The ceiling collapsed,
A sharp weapon, it's golden and gleaming under the illuminating moon, a slender with a vague to ice picks or awls that is capable for stabbing and thrusting resulting a murder.
That weapon was aimed at Yoo Joonghyuk.
“You finally showed up.” Yoo Joonghyuk commented,
The attack just went pass through him he dodge it successfully but some of his hair strands was cut,
“So you are aware.” The culprit of that attack, the person who aimed for him by using the ceiling.
Yoo Joonghyuk flinched at that voice.
He don't know- no he is aware of his own thoughts, that voice- that voice that is familiar to him.
He just stood still, not daring to face and see the assassin that was sent to end his life.
‘That voice- no, calm down.’
“Hmm? Are you scared, the world's greatest spy?”
The ma- no the assassin tease, follow by a dark yet attractive chuckles at the end,
However, instinctively, Yoo Joonghyuk took off his mask.
“So you came.”
Yoo Joong- The world greatest spy turn his head to see the world cruelest assassin.
GASP!
The predator in front of him is dressed in a form-fitting halter-style back dress with a rose choker and a red rose design on the inside of her skirt; his skirt is mid-thigh length, with the back extending below his knees. I'm dressed in black thigh-high boots and black fingerless gloves. Wearing a rose and two spikes on each side of a gold-colored headband. His weapon matches his clothing perfectly.
Raven haired, with a characteristic wicked grin and black eyes, she is a wonderful example of gorgeous yet dangerous.
“K..Kim Dokja?” Yoo Joonghyuk widened his eyes, he already have a conclusion a while ago but confirming it- he want to turn blind into the reality.
“Yoo Joonghyuk!?”
The assassin- the Underworld Prince mouth turn agape, the thin golden slender his been spinning between his finger stopped,
The Underworld Prince froze, the messy hair that he always stroke out of the blue- those eyes that is sharp but under the moonlight it was shining in yellow- it was his one and only fake husband.
“You– you are the Conqueror King?” Kim Dokja ask, he don't know but his hands holding his own weapon that was supposed to kill the person infront of him- it shakes, it trembles.
Silence.
“I am, then are you the Underworld Prince?” The Supreme King ask calmly, but deep inside he is panicking.
He don't expect this at all, the person- that person that he keep as his fake wife for this mission- the person who's been taking care of him and Yoosung, worrying about him and his touch that he always give in.
He wan to denied that it's possible because it's clearly not- just please it can't be-
“Yes, haha I didn't expect it at all? Yoo Joong- no, Conqueror King, tell me, why did you form a family?” Kim Dokja shoulder is shaking, he is laughing, but his eyes are not. It's desperate, it couldn't be-
If this person infront of him is the target, he can't- he can't assassinate him.
Yoo Joonghyuk was taken a back before responding,
“It's for my mission.” He replied, not daring to make an eye contact with the other party.
The guilt is forming within his throat, he can't stand it but to avoid any eye contact with the person he lied to.
Silence.
Until someone laugh out loud,
“So that's how it is hahaha it's all goddamn fake!”
His shoulder trembled, laughing with a full of madness but there was a hint of sadness.
Yoo Joonghyuk just silently watch that scene,
“Of course it's fake, I'm so stupid right, Yoo Joonghyuk?”
“N-”
Kim Dokja smiles under the silvery shining moon, making him look like a goddess who descends ready to take someone's life.
He took a step towards the Conqueror King,
“You ask me a moment ago if I'm the Underworld Prince, of course I am however,”
The assassin hold his two slender thin weapon,
“You didn't ask me if I'm Kim Dokja that you knew,”
Yoo Joonghyuk just stood up, eyes were trembling not in fear of losing his own life but fear of not be able to speak for himself,
“I am given the task to assassinate you, of course I agree,”
The Heir of the Underworld raises his hands and points his weapon towards the neck of the Conqueror King.
“I'm not currently the Kim Dokja you knew, I'm the Underworld Prince, so I have to fulfilled my task.”
At that moment, the assassin aimed for the Conqueror King neck,
SLASH!
But the spy just dodge it without any efforts, he just silently staring at the person he been always been familiar- trying to spot where is that person he always knew.
The assassin quickly regained his position, and his fist was approaching the spy; however, in the midst of the chaos, the spy simply shielded the fist with his arms, and the Underworld Prince jumped once it was blocked, making his black dress dance to the rhythm of the breeze.
“Ha, as expected of the world greatest spy.” The assassin grinned as if he was satisfied by it.
“Kim Dokja…”
“I'm not Kim Dokja.”
Yoo Joonghyuk breath in, he can't attack, he have his gun on his pocket but he can't take it out and ended this battle immediately, how could he ended it when the life of the mother of his daughter is also going to end?
And he just stay still, shielding himself when 'Kim Dokja' attacked him, however he didn't aimed back.
But watching this unfold, Yoo Joonghyuk realize that he was weak, weak towards this person who's always been by his side,
He is not like this to anyone but to this goddamn stubborn squid, he realizes, no he already knew this feeling but he refuse to say it aloud,
“Kim Dokja, I love you.”
The assassin stop at his track, for him, the world seems to be stopped and it only focus at them.
It only takes three goddamn words for him to lose his cool.
“If you really do, then tell me…,”
Finally, Kim Dokja rushed to Yoo Joonghyuk. He dipped and weaved right his golden-like the sunshine slender, as he aimed for the answer of the spy, as he is about to reach him and slash downwards with his weapon,
“Those sweet moments, the smile in your face, your concern for us…”
He whispered, which gives the spy a opportunity to dodge, Yoo Joonghyuk sidestepped to the right just enough and the blade passed a hairs breath from his face.
Quickly, before the Conqueror King could respond with a follow-up, the Underworld Prince swiftly punched the spy in the stomach, making him stunned for a brief moment.
“Your sincere comforting words, the happiness in your eyes, the gentle yet cold 'Yoo Joonghyuk' and those memory that we build up under the same roof…,”
The fight had taken Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja dangerously close to the edge of the hallway of the building, outside the room and the spy had his back almost to the wall despite his counter defense.
The quick blow had opened the Conqueror King up for another attack and the assassin obliged him, putting a simple kick into the spy stomach, doubling him over as the assassin took the lead,
It was only then that Dokja looked at him—really looked at the spy he’d been about to kill. He staggered back.
“Tell me, are all those real? Not just for your mission?”
BANG!!
Kim Dokja is on top of Yoo Joonghyuk, he thrust his weapon to the ground as it makes a noise like a knife thrusting into a wood.
Yoo Joonghyuk laying down on the cold ground with bruises on his face, as he looks above him, all he sees is Kim Dokja's annoying face, making eye contact with each other.
Kim Dokja is above Yoo Joonghyuk, his knees were kneeling at the ground and both of his hands are holding on his slender weapon that he purposely stick on the ground, imprisoning Yoo Joonghyuk in his grasp.
“Yoo Joonghyuk, answer me.”
His wife's face is a mess, the assassin infront of him is a mess, he is frowning hard as tears are streaming down on his ethereal face, the black dress and his silk raven hair sway under the crescent moon.
The spy hold the assassin face even though he is under him, he spoke,
“Of course, all of it is real.”
Kim Dokja trembles,
“I should ask you as well Kim Dokja, when we are together, are all of those is real? Your feelings? Your emotions? How you took care of Yoosung?” Yoo Joonghyuk asks, he is still so defenseless as ever and he let his wife be in charge of the lead.
“Of course, all of it was real, the fleeting moment that I felt that resembles home, all of it was real.”
“T-”
Kim Dokja lowers his face; there used to be at least twenty centimeters between them, but now Kim Dokja has broken past the barrier that was holding their faces apart.
He kisses him.
Yoo Joonghyuk's initial reaction was shock, and it took him a while to figure out what was going on when Dokja bit his lips.
Yoo Joonghyuk appreciates this moment and he can't even focus his attention to the surroundings, he's losing it to the sweet lips of his beloved, black holes pulling you in until all gravity is lost under his touch, Kim Dokja's lips are soft, he can't describe the taste of his lips, it felt warm yet it's so addicting and inviting,
If Kim Dokja lips is a drug- he might become a drug lord at this point.
Dokja parted their lips away, even though it's just for a seconds, it felt like eternity for Yoo Joonghyuk.
”You damn sunfish, of course it's real!”
He smiles sincerely, and the way that the moon outside of the large window gave shone on Kim Dokja, it felt so surreal, the assassin who came to take your life is so mesmerizing that even the greatest spy has been defeated.
The spy, the Conqueror King circles his hands to the waist of the assassin and chuckles,
“Would you like to marry-”
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
“again…”
A shriek coming from beneath could be heard,
The spy and assassin flinch,
As they stood up and they couldn't care less about their appearance as they run to the hallway and shouted together,
Not caring about the guards and people outside and inside of the abandoned building,
“YOOSUNG!”
____
A little girl with pale-blonde hair color stare at the scene before her eyes, her hands trembling in fear as her eyes look at the ground, horrified.
‘W-what did I just do?’
She can't help it but to step back, her right hands that had been holding the knife is shaking but she keeps her hold on it properly.
But as time goes by, she heard something outside,
‘Pair of thin Slender… it somehow suit him.’
‘So he have a gun but he never used it?’
GASP!
Shin Yoosung eyes trembles as her heart is beating loudly at excitement,
‘Ma… Pa!’
She bites her lower lip and is about to cry; she had high expectations that those mad scientists would back off and her assassin mother and spy father would come to her rescue while she was imprisoned here.
She put her faith in them, opposing the scientist's power over her.
But now that her mama and papa is here, she may be able to leave in this hellish place.
BANG!
The door swung open.
“YOOSUNG!”
The culprit is none other the person holding a pair of golden slender, the assassin kick the door resulting his black dress to sway and follow the movement, almost seeing his undergarments which the spy quickly look away.
Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja called the little girl standing at the middle of the room, the little girl that has been kidnapped is holding a knife, tears forming at the corner of her eyes when she saw the two figure she's been anticipating to see before her death.
However, what surprised them more is that they thought that Shin Yoosung was badly hurt and they need to give her therapy once they rescued here, but seeing her perfectly standing there and infront of their girl is a two scientist that were beaten up to death.
They suddenly went speechless.
“Ma! Pa! I'm sorry!”
Shin Yoosung lowered her head when she saw what kind of expression her parents made and she can't help but to say sorry- she is sorry but what is she sorry for when she just wants her freedom back?
She did not regret beating up those two, not at all.
“What happened- no that's not what important now,” Kim Dokja who's used to seeing corpse and Yoo Joonghyuk who's mission is related to taking one life is they are just stunned for a few seconds.
Kim Dokja ran towards Shin Yoosung and hug her tightly, Kim Dokja began pinching her cheeks, to checking any wounds.
‘Oh goddess! Thanks god my baby is safe!’
She can hear her thoughts and she can't help it but to soften her heart, Shin Yoosung lower her head and hug her mother into a embrace.
“Thank you for coming… Yoosung is scared…”
Shin Yoosung cried out his lungs in the embrace of Kim Dokja.
“Shh shh, I'm sorry that your mola mola father and your beautiful mother are late.” Kim Dokja patted the back of Shin Yoosung, stroking some strands of her hair.
“Beautiful my ass.” Yoo Joonghyuk commented,
“Shut up Mr. Conqueror King.”
‘Well he is beautiful… especially in that dress.’
Yoosung can't help it but to giggles, after hugging Kim Dokja she shifts his gaze to Yoo Joonghyuk and came closer towards him,
Shin Yoosung hugs the knees of Yoo Joonghyuk.
Yoo Joonghyuk just pats her head, and tell her,
“Let's go home Shin Yoosung”
She teared up and smile,
“Of course Pa and Ma!”
“Ah right, I destroyed the CCTV so probably by now, the guards and other scientists will have noticed us by now.”
Kim Dokja destroyed the atmosphere.
Yoo Joonghyuk just give him 'that look' before sighing, lifting up and carrying Shin Yoosung in his arms,
“Let's go.”
____
Running in the hallway of the building, rushing at full speed down the hallway of the building, gunfire and legions of guards and mad scientists are following them from behind. The expert spy and assassin with their telepath daughter is running at their full speed,
And also having a lovely talk,
“So you are telling me you are a telepath!?”
Kim Dokja was shock that he is going to tripped but Yoo Joonghyuk quickly catch him,
While they are running for their lives a while ago, Yoosung notices that her mother and father knew each other identity by now, so why not reveal hers too?
“Yes Ma…” She responded shyly.
BANG!
“So you knew our identity from the start?” Yoo Joonghyuk shoot the ten guards in just ten seconds and quickly went into their track.
“Yes... Heh” Shin Yoosung answers,
“AAAH!“
“No wonder why I felt like you could read my mind…”
Kim Dokja commented while wiping off the blood on his cheeks and disappearing again in front of them to face the legions of guards.
“AAAAH!”
Screams of those people that are chasing after them beg for their lives.
“Underworld Prince, have mercy!”
"Oh look you are sweating in your pants, there's no thrill if I give you mercy right?"
“AAAAH!”
The most cruelest assassin to ever live slayed twenty people in just a minute, her dress fluttering every time he jump and disappear into the eyes of the enemies, finding out that he is just beside you, how he looks so ethereal when he smiles like a maniac to them, his eyes shining and being a merciless towards his enemies.
Yoo Joonghyuk saw how terrifying his wife are.
“Wow…”
For Shin Yoosung, she already saw how her Ma treat his enemy and how horrifying it would be when he is angry, but to see him in a actual battle and with that dress, Yoosung can't help it but to admired.
“So you are a scientist that participated in the child laboratory experiment right?”
Kim Dokja, the Underworld Prince let his two weapons spinning in the top of his palm and smiles sadistically, the Underworld Prince wearing a dress that is ready to take you in the afterlife is like an angel dressed like a devil.
Too beautiful for a murderer, and too merciless for people who's going to get killed.
The Underworld Prince swings his weapon and points one of it to the neck of the horrified scientist and his white coat that is covering his body turns red, because of the blood that had been spit out in every victim's body.
The Underworld Prince is no leniency and would kill someone in the most painful way possible and more blood spitting out as feasible.
‘I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Fuck that 041 I'm going to di-’
Shin Yoosung that is reading the thought of the scientist, she is currently being carried her father who is also busy firing his gun to the potential enemy that would hurt Kim Dokja.
“Ma is scary right?” Shin Yoosung commented as she receive a nod from his Pa,
‘He looks so cool running wild like that’
The little girl can't help it but to smile and shout at her mother,
“Ma ma ma! Pa think that you looks so cool while murdering people!”
SLASH!
“Yoo Joonghyuk you basta-”
Kim Dokja exclaims in embarrassment and accidentally swing his slender sword to the enemy, resulting the head of the scientist to fall.
“I never sai- oh right, you are a telepath, sigh…” Yoo Joonghyuk also avoid eye contact with Kim Dokja due to the embarrassment,
‘T-that bastard, he also looks cool while shooting people…’
Shin Yoosung grinned and hold the ear of Yoo Joonghyuk and whispered,
“Ma also think that you also look cool while shooting people!” Shin Yoosung cackles and the spy spit out his saliva as he accidentally release the bullet and killed two people by it.
BANG BANG!
“Shin Yoosung!!!!”
“HEHE!”
“Return 041 to us!”
A new troop, footsteps could be heard running to their direction, if Yoo Joonghyuk is going to tell what floor they are in, it's obvious they are on the 49th floor.
“Oh? There's still more? This is so exciting!”
Kim Dokja commented and his bright eyes shone again,
‘How fun…’
Shin Yoosung gulp, if someone is going to mess with his family, she just want to tell them that they made a wrong move.
“They are more than I thought.” Yoo Joonghyuk stated,
The people running to them is three times more than the number of the past enemies they encountered,
‘Kim Dokja can't handle it alone.’
Yoo Joonghyuk look at Shin Yoosung and he put down the little girl on the floor, in the most unseen area as possible and he send him a look,
‘Shin Yoosung if you can heard this, go to that room and there's a metal box covering many wires, unlock it and cut those wires. Be careful, here's the scissors, you can also use this on stabbing people.’
Shin Yoosung eyes twinkling in excitement, she nodded multiple times and grab the scissors, the greatest spy of the country look at her and patted her hair before he go in the direction of his wife, holding a pistol in both of his hand.
“So cool!” Yoosung can't help but to be amazed because it felt like she is currently watching a live action movie.
“C-Conqueror King!! Aren't the EDEN and Olympus enemies!?”
One of the scientist that seems like that leader give them a complicated gaze.
“I think you misunderstood it, we are not here to kill all of you just because of the organization we belong to, we are simply here since our family is having a bonding you see.”
Kim Dokja chuckles and at his behind was a tall and bulky figure, holding a gun and having a cold serious stoic face that seems saying to you that you will be dead in any seconds.
“N-nonsense!” The scientist exclaims in horror,
“Oh well, would you like to play with us?” Kim Dokja narrowed his eyes at all the people that is prepared to fight them, maximum there's at least eighty people here, including the scientists.
“Bullshit! A-attack them!”
Finally, the words that all of the present here has been waiting for was said,
“Heh, seems fun right, Conqueror King?” Kim Dokja look behind him, and the tall figure look back and nodded,
“Be careful.”
“You too.”
Finally, the duo finally become murderous.
“AAAAH!”
The Underworld Prince jumped in his grave, no he jumped in the middle of all the guards as he began slashing their throat, blood was splattered everywhere the dress was mixed with black and red, every swing and thrust of his slender sword weapon take someone life.
BANG BANG!
Yoo Joonghyuk fired his bullet, killing two people as he jumped into the masses of guards, spinning around as he held his two firearms, shooting many guards who couldn't even say their last words before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.
But despite all of that, there seems to be no end to them.
“Wow...” Shin Yoosung's eyes reflected the bloody battle, her grip on the scissors tighten as she begins to take a step towards the said room.
As she reach the door and opened it, her eyes roam around and there's a metal rectangular thing that is covering something,
“This must be it…”
Shin Yoosung can't reach it so she dragged a chair and step on it.
Using the so-called scissors that also look like a screw driver, she began to spin it around the nail in the corner that is ways to unlock the rectangular metal thing.
“Heh,”
Finally, the last nail fall, Shin Yoosung slowly take off the rectangular metal thing, and behind it was wires.
“Pa said to cut all of it right…?”
She start to use the scissors in difficulty, cutting the wires, green, red, blue and many more, she cut it as his father instructed.
After the pink wires is cut, the noises and screams outside couldn't be heard anymore.
It's quiet outside.
“What happened…?”
Shin Yoosung muttered but she can't afford to care about that and run at the door,
“It's dark…?”
The electricity is out, making it difficult to see what's actually going on; it's dark and eerie, but she can still hear several footsteps; nonetheless, she has no idea where her father and mother are.
‘It can't be right…?’
No, don't even think about it, her father and mother are strong.
‘There you are!’
‘Yoosung!’
She stare at the dark, feeling that someone embrace her and lift her up, carrying her as they continue to run silent as possible.
‘Good job Yoosung!’
‘You did a great job.’
Then she realize the one that is carrying her was the Underworld Prince and behind them is the Conqueror King,
“Pa and Ma!!!”
Shin Yoosung shouted, and later regretted it.
Silence.
“THEY ARE RUNNING AWAY!!”
The voice of the enemies could be heard as Yoosung can hear the footsteps chasing them.
“SHIT!”
“To the last floor, let's go!”
Her pa and ma exclaims, as they ran at full speed in the stairs and the enemies is still chasing after them. their last destination is none other the last floor- the 51th floor.
“THEY ARE DOOM! CORNER THEM!”
“IT'S THE ROOFTOP! THEY CAN'T ESCAPE THIS TIME!”
Shin Yoosung trembles and regret it.
“Ma, Pa I'm sorry-”
"Shhh, there's no need… your Pa had a plan okay?" The assassin reassured the telepath and she can felt the warm hands on her head, it was Yoo Joonghyuk agreeing at what Kim Dokja said.
As they reach the rooftop, it was quite large but it's really the dead end.
The family stare what is below, it's really dark and they can't see what's in there, Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja exchange glances.
‘Hahaha!!’
“MA AND PA THOSE BAD GUYS IS HERE!”
“What already?” Kim Dokja express his shock and tighten the grip.
“Calm down, ” Yoo Joonghyuk said nonchalantly.
‘Should I just snap and blow up their head?’
As Shin Yoosoung read his thoughts,
“PAPA I LIKE YOUR IDEA! LET'S BLOW THEIR HEAD INTO PIECES!”
“Where did you learn that!”
Kim Dokja exclaims in disbelief as he use his elbow to kick the stomach of Yoo Joonghyuk,
“It's not my fault that she can hear my thou-”
The door of the rooftop opened,
A threatening shout that came from the enemy is heard,
“CONQUEROR KING AND UNDERWORLD PRINCE PUT 041-”
But before that happened,
“Happy New year!”
BOOOOGSH!
A grenade was thrown and the pin is in the hold of the culprit of the bombing.
“You sunfi-”
Before the explosion reach them, Yoo Joonghyuk hold his wife that is carrying her daughter and they jumped on the 51th floor ft.
“WE ARE FALLING!”
Shin Yoosung and Kim Dokja shouts the obvious
The family fell into the building embracing each other.
Kim Dokja keep his eyes shut and look at the person across him who's also falling,
“So uh.. before we die, I'm Kim Dokja and also a assassin called Underworld Prince but uh-”
As they fall, Kim Dokja introduce himself, not caring that the floor that they jumped on is collapsing,
His word were cut by Yoo Joonghyuk,
“I'm Yoo Joonghyuk, A spy and known as Conqueror King, Kim Dokja, do you accept me as your husband for eternity?”
Yoo Joonghyuk said in a serious mode, holding one of Kim Dokja free hand since the right arms is holding tightly on Shin Yoosung.
“I do!”
At that moment,
It was like the second take of his original proposal, but the pin on the Supreme King's hands gently entered the Underworld Prince's finger. More sincere this time.
“I give you this ring as a symbol of my love. As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love,
Yoo Joonghyuk pause for a moment,
“And not even the world and death can do us part.”
Tears of joy escape from Kim Dokja while they are falling,
'Being a spy can't do us apart.’
‘Being a assassin can't do us apart.’
Shin Yoosung give them a dead eyes and shouted at their goddamn face,
“PA WE ARE LITERALLY DYING HERE DON'T FLIR-”
Yoo Joonghyuk kisses Kim Dokja and cleverly blocks Shin Yoosung's mouth with his hands as they fall into the deep abyss. Kim Dokja closes his eyes and bites his lips, and Yoo Joonghyuk's tongue explores what's in the ruthless assassin's mouth.
Tongue were fighting one another while falling,
The moon and the forest is the witness of the love between a spy and a assassin.
When their lips finally parted, both were catching their breath in the deep kiss a while ago, both were flushed like a potato as they stared at each other.
Yoo Joonghyuk closed his eyes and do the nose to nose with Kim Dokja,
“Yoo Joonghyuk, you sunfish reall-”
They embrace each other, including Shin Yoosung, because the end is approaching and they don't know if they'll be alive once they hit the ground.
Shin Yoosung smiles, fully aware that the chances of them being alive by then are slim. She looks at them and shouts,
“I love you, Ma and Pa!”
