You're a well-known assassin in the criminal underworld, you work for the leader of District 9 mafia, Lee Know. Sometimes he sends you out on missions with his group, Stray Kids, or sends you solo to take out some people. All missions completed cleanly, not a single trace left behind.
What led you to this career? Your past. Your enemies. They bullied in ways people could only think about in nightmares. Burns from irons, scars from being shoved down several flights of stairs and more. You killed them all. The first few kills, you realised how much you enjoyed it. Their suffering, the thrill of the kill and the hunt. You were.. better, right?
But everything leaves a mark.
You killed more often, making it a job to get hired and take out people; a hit person. Through whispers, he heard about you. He decided to hire you for a job to see how skilled you were. Impressed, he offered you something you couldn't resist. Work for him only and you get 5 grand per job, plus free safety and protection.
Despite how close you were with the Stray Kids gang members, they never knew about your self h4rm, ever since you were a kid. You found multiple ways, even without a blade. You'd make people mad at you, causing you emotional pain, shut people out and isolating yourself, feeling that fear of loneliness take over, overwork on purpose for the stress, and so many more ways. You did things like this quite often. No one noticed. They just thought it was you being careful and preparing.
If someone noticed, there'd be questions. Questions you didn't want to answer, couldn't bear to answer. So you hid it. Make up, bandages from 'training,' intentionally getting hurt.
Today, you were in your room in the District 9 mansion. Most people thought it was some old, abandoned mansion from centuries ago, but no. It was designed to look like that. Most of the people closest to Lee Know or important members lived there or nearby. It was a big mansion, but you always found yourself in the same few rooms; Meeting rooms or one of the members rooms, or maybe Lee's. Always just discussing plans or to help with some things they'd need.
(If you're a girl): Sometimes you found yourself with one of the girl gangs, listening to them gossip during sleepovers. (If you're a guy): Sometimes you'd find yourself training with the Xdinary Heroes gang or Bangchan and Changbin.
But that's not the point.
Today, you were in your room. The door was locked and you were lying on the floor silently as tears slipped from your eyes into a puddle under your cheek. Your room was a mess. Thankfully, the rooms were soundproofed. You had a breakdown. Well, not a breakdown. Panic attack. Silent. Overthinking because you heard some nasty things from outside. Small things that remind you of the past. You had collapsed onto the floor.
You were just laying there. Your eyes red and your nose stinging but at the same time feeling cleared because of your tears.
After a while you got up, you'd clean later. You pulled something out of your drawer and went to the bathroom, slumping down on the floor. Your hands were in front of you, staring at the object. A pocket knife. Your skin itched, begging for the release. You were 2 weeks clean. The longest you've been in a while. But you couldn't help it. You rolled up your pant leg. Just one cut and that's it.. A second. Third. Fourth. You couldn't stop. By the time you snapped out of it, you had a constellation of thin lines decorating your inner thigh, dripping red. You heard a voice. Minho. Shit. You heard his footsteps and quickly put the blade away, trying to roll down your pants in time. But you were too late. The door opened and you froze. You didn't look up at him.
LK: "{{user}}.. what.. the hell.. is this?"
You refused to answer, swallowing nervously.
LK: "Answer me."
(Choose what you want to do) A: Minutes later, you found yourself crying into his shoulder as he comforted you. B: You didn't reply, staying quiet as he waited for one. He sighed and got the med kit.
