The smell of gunpowder dominated the poorly lit room where I just entered. The moment I heard gunshots, I hid behind Hyun oppa and cowardly shivered. As Eunbin unnie said, Hyun oppa came at the dorm to give me car keys and a bonus tour around Seoul. We went around while he spoke like a legitimate tour guide and I absorbed every information he told me. He added how much he got surprised when he saw folded clothes in the laundry room and a deep asleep girl, which was me.

"Why would you need a gun?!" Oppa asked when I told him if he could get me a gun. " Its for safety purposes and how am I supposed to protect NCT if I seem harmless without any weapon? " I reasoned and with that here we are in a private gun shop. He said he knew the owner and we would be given discount because the owner's son somehow owes him.

I was thinking twice if I really needed to get a gun when oppa told me to just stay outside since gunpowder scent was unbearable for me. I waited outside where people were giving me strange looks and few whispers unheard. "Koruji-ssi, I got you a classic revolver that fits your size." He was clearly impressed by himself. I wanted to thank the owner personally since oppa said he got the gun for free for a pretty lady. I thought the owner was that kind until I heard him exclaim, " I am sure I have seen eyes like you in Japan, kid. And if I'm not mistaken, its the eyes of a killer. " Oppa and I were both wide eyed with what the owner said.

Do I have vicious relatives in Japan?

Is my mother a killer?

"You may be wrong since this lady with me is as harmless as a puppy." Hyun oppa said " But remember Seon, when nurtured the wrong way they grow to be dangerous. " was what heard last as we got out of the suspicious area. Oppa gave me the gun with extra bullets when we reached the car, this time I drove. My hands were clammy while in touch with the steering wheel after I dropped off Hyun oppa. I am headed to a cafe to clear my mind when somebody caught my attention. He was passed out in front of a convenience store beside when heavy rain started pouring.

Seriously? Rain in the middle of summer? The fuck is wrong with the weather?!

I cancelled my order, ran to the dripping wet man and carried him to the van I drove. He seems dead because of his temperature but still has pulse. I drove twice faster and made sure that the man beside me is still breathing while occasionally checking if I was going the right way. "Fuck it mate! I just moved in yesterday!" I shouted as he puked on the carpet the moment we got in the dorm.

What a drunk-girl-rescuing-an-even-more-drunk-man starter.

If Hyun oppa and Eunbin unnie see this, I am so dead.

It was time to take off his clothes and replace it with mine but larger. I got him the largest hoodie I managed to find in my closet and wore it to him. I admit I took my time to look at his abs and biceps but I wasn't as fazed as I expected I would've been. "Bruh, be glad I'm kind as fuck or else you would be dead of hypothermia." I muttered to myself as I drank my freshly brewed coffee and waited till my "patient" wakes up.

I busied myself with making an edible soup and familiarizing Seoul's streets, alleyways and short cuts when I heard the door click open. I lost track of time, its been the next day and I haven't spent it well. Hyun oppa and Eunbin unnie came in with paper bags with them, let me not forget their faces when they saw a sleeping figure on my sofa. "Its been day two Koruji-ssi and you already got a stranger here. I need words kid." Disappointment was visible in Hyun oppa's voice as he pointed the other man.

"He was passed out by the cafe I came in yesterday and I can't leave him there." which is true. The older pair accepted my reason and left few reminders together with a paper bag. "Never hesitate to use the gun you got if ever he tries to hurt you Koru-ssi. We need you but alive and well. Also, try not to get laid anytime of the month." And with that, they kissed my cheeks good bye in which I responded with finger hearts. Trouble awaited me the moment I turned around.

"If you ask me, that was cute." Oh no. The man was already awake but I could tell he needs more rest by the pale face he had. I reviewed the reminder I was given and picked my words "I made you coffee and soup. Might as well enjoy it since you won't be here for long mister." There, just the words I want out of my mouth. I placed a bowl of soup and cup of coffee before him and sat on a smaller sofa. I opened the paper bag and saw a box, which contained a phone for me.

Do I sound rude?

Once again I thought out loud and got an answer from the man, "Not really. Anyways I am Sanjung and its oppa for you." Dang , I finally know his name. After a bit introduction, I left him to rest a bit more but he said he needs to vent his thoughts. Me being the "kind" lady that I was, listened to him and called him oppa the whole time. "In what way can I pay you back for what you did? After all I caused you trouble." Said Sanjung oppa while finishing his coffee. "Just let me drop you off to your house, I swear I want to see you go home safe oppa. " I was sincere and he saw that. Not long after, I assisted him to my van since he was a little dizzy and off we go. Loading my gun while driving.

We reached his house after several minutes and got out of the van. Again, I assisted him inside which was filled with fifty percent air and fifty percent silence. "Oppa, do you live alone? " He nodded and told me to keep him company for a bit longer. "You can spend the night if you want." what he said got me wide eyed and blushy.

You still have problems with your past, stupid. Don't be all flirty now aye?

My thoughts snapped me back to reality. "Sorry but I've got to leave, my boss won't like it if I'll slack around."
"Is he the man from lately? " I nodded
"Well then, take care and good bye. I'll drop this off within this week. Bye jagi." He was pertaining to my hoodie and boy did he make me blush harder.

Jobs to do Koruji!

I left for home and saw texts from Hyun oppa and Eunbin unnie.

Damn, how deep is the shit I am, aren't I?
