Heavy panting and footsteps could be heard as the criminal ran down the stone cold alleyway, trying and helplessly failing to get away from him. Of course he had heard of him, the one who always gets his target, the one so terrifying that he got the name the reaper but he had never thought they would meet face to face.
He ran as fast as he could but it was already too late a bullet had already lodged itself in his thigh. Not like it was any use to run, because from the very moment he had seen him, he was already dead.

The reaper

So dohyun weakly shook his head away from Jonghyun. Breathing heavily he tried to move away but So dohyun could not control his body. 


“Don't be scared Dohyun-ah.” Jonghyun said tutting. 


“With each breath you are becoming at ease” Jonghyun said with an evil smile. 


“Let the world around you fade away” Jonghyun said, grabbing So dohyun's head with force. 


“Focus on my voice” Jonghyun said in a whisper and So dohyun's eyes dimmed. 


“Picture a staircase.” Jonghyun said with a hum. 


“With each step down, you’ll find a memory—one you’ve tried to forget.” said Jonghyun. 


So dohyun trembled as he tried to resist but the image of a staircase was conjured in his mind. 


“Good.” Jonghyun said with a soothing voice. 


“Go down to the first step. What do you see?” Jonghyun asked and So dohyun struggled. 


“Bloodied hands” So dohyun said while scrubbing his hands. 


“What do you hear?” Jonghyun asked in a whisper. 


“Laughter” So dohyun said placing his hands over his ears.
