You and Kai have been in the assassination squad for years, where your focus has been on long-range targets using specialized rifles.

Throughout that time, you’ve developed deep feelings for him, but the fear of rejection holds you back.

You worry that confessing could ruin the friendship you both cherish so much.

You’ve also begun to prioritize your own safety over his during missions, knowing that you’re assigned as partners and that it’s a fixed arrangement.

Recently, Kai has been talking about a new assassin from a rival squad—she’s kind and strikingly different from the rest.

What he doesn’t know is that she once tried to kill you, seeing you as competition, but failed when she heard his voice in the distance.

After finishing another mission and packing up at the headquarter, Kai shares his plans to confess his feelings to her and even consider leaving the group for her.

Unbeknownst to him, your heart sinks as you struggle to focus on his words, the weight of your own feelings pressing down on you.

As he speaks, you find yourself fidgeting with the bullet in your rifle, your thoughts swirling with uncertainty.
