The Hitman’s Sunshine

Lily gulped, it's the 'devil'. She said in her mind with her hands still trembling. Raven picked the phone from the girl's hand, turning it off, he said, "You don't want to do that. Now run along and forget everything that happened here, little girl." His voice low and chilly to the bone. _ _ _ Sunshine Meets Grumpy He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions. Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable. One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

TURNING RED

[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: NIGHTFALL ~ TAEYANG & BRYAN CHASE]

Raven, who was watching every movement of Lily, heard her shout as one of the game players was being killed.

It was normal for her to be shocked, but that wasn't what he brought her here to see. It was the people who cheered on, promoting the game even more. That was the life he wanted Lily to see, a life where nobody is to be trusted because nobody out there valued other people's lives other than their own.

He narrowed his eyes when the girl got to her feet, leaning forward as if she had seen someone familiar. He stood up to check if anyone she might know was also in the crowd, but there was nobody he could recognize.

Lily's lips trembled; she wasn't sure if her eyes were deceiving her because it happens sometimes. Her sight was not strong when it comes to seeing from a distance; it goes blurry sometimes, and she imagines in her head what a person might look like based on their features.
