Baekhyun had been a trained assassin for long enough to be an expert on taking care of whatever he needed to alone. Which was why he was more than surprised when his boss put him on a mission with an independent assassin named Chanyeol. To say Baekhyun and Chanyeol got along would be a lie. In fact, they very much disliked each other. And now they would be stuck working together for an undisclosed amount of time.
The two hoped they could get the assassination over with, but Baekhyun’s boss kept having them delay the hit, which forced the two to actually talk and get to know each other. Just when they began to get close, Baekhyun’s mission was canceled and his new target became the man he had grown to quite like, Park Chanyeol. When Baekhyun finds out the alleged truth behind Chanyeol’s intentions, he’s forced to put aside his feelings and do what he does best – kill.

Chanyeol was used to his sepia colored life, made of absences more than presences, of silences instead of sounds and the complete lack of feelings. He was used to it, yes, since the end of the war, their war, that took away maybe a little too many things from everyone including him.
What if he didn’t remember those things though? He was always fine like that, always thinking that there was no justice and relief in remembering something that hurt so much to bring tears and pain to people. So why, all of a sudden, in a new city, that stranger was asking him questions that brought out unwanted memories and forgotten recollections? What should he do with those? And… was it really that bad to remember?

Safe, his magic whispers to him. Baekhyun breathes in once, twice, thrice, then extracts himself from Chanyeol’s grip. “It’s my father’s ghost,” he says, voice shaky. He turns away and none of them comment as he wipes his eyes. “He’s here.”
