Mess

Today is a perfect Monday. Her husband already gone to work, the sky looks bright and blue, the house already cleaned, the laundry has been hanged, the frozen food for when Ha-jin's arrived late past midnight again already stored safely in refrigator, and all things seemed to be in order.

Neatly bun like saber usually use, baggy clothes to hide her figures, and worn out cap, make the plain and casual outfit for Si-Yeon's special plan today. the map of the town already printed which a few mark that will be her destination to scouting a deserted and private training space.

Few of the first things Si-Yeon recognize about her body is that it is weak, frail, squishy, but very flexible. Totally different from his hardened past body which has undergone through various obstacle and physical conditioning. The two melon upront also didn't help her case to adapting to her new body at all. No wonder the girls can be very sensitive when it came to weights, if this kind heavy feeling from the burden jiggling every time she moves and wracky nerves set off as the stares of the peoples keep following her.

And then she decide to just hide herself with plain get up and planning to experiment, whether her abilities stay the same with the limit it has, or totally changing like her body after transmigrated too. since she can't train inside the building and risking to be found out by the CCTV camera spread around the apartments (yes, she knew Ha-jin's periodically check up on her out of paranoia), or hurting innocents neighbour who reside in this apartment building unintended.

Even if she can just bolted out of the situation if she already sure about how to provide herself after sever such a relationship between her and ha-jin's, she is still wary about this secret assassin group her husband work with. if it anything like as the magus organization's in her past world, then her live probably forfeited the time she was deemed not useful again for ha-jin or if she ask for divorce. the worst if they pursue and hunted her.

The bad part was that Si-Yeon in her past life as Shirou never manage to visiting korea. making her totally clueless about it and it's custome, bar Si-Yeon's blurred original memories. it will be be hard to keep undetected if she brazenly walk away with such a risk, Ha-jin probably also get in trouble and punished for her actions. so nope, not the right time yet.

In the other hand, as weirdly as it is, Si-Yeon's instinct somehow become protective of her husband as a healthy human being.

After living for a little more time in the same home as the man, the more Si-Yeon's seeing a very uncanny resemblance between Ha-jin with a weirdly mixed personality of both Issei and Kiritsugu. With his no nonsense attitude but not so hidden weariness, and how he was grieving yet striving to keep live. It's making her feel sorry for the dude. The bespectacle man probably tangled in something complicated with how exhausted and twitchy he could be, especially around womens.

Not to mention the history of the well taken care off dagger that she knew her husband hide behind his always neatly impeccable suit.

if she wasn't living with kiritsugu before, she probably won't notice her husband's weapons equipment at all.

Her husband was a killer, an excellently trained and talented one at that.

And it leaves a bad taste in her mouth to let the clearly unstable man alone.

It just need few push to make the man's patience snap.

She could definitely feel the killing intent the man emit rolling in waves even after coming home. Ha-Jin's eyes always filled with suspicions, exasperations, and freezing anger when looking at her, slightly accusing her of whatever bad things happened to him without words. If she wasn't involved in the Grail war before, she definitely would be frightened by such open hostility.

With a few pats here, a bit smile there, and any distractions she could muster, she manage to avoiding Ha-jin's ire. And the more surprisingly that Ha-jin really didn't look that interested to make her literally new life hard, instead he let her doing her own things as well. It feels like having a roommate with strangely docile doberman, which can tear you apart, but decide not to while sulking and biting pillow frustatingly in the corner . she even can feel his gaze few times glancing at her to make sure she didn't messed up too bad.

what a tsundere like rin.

The unhealthy lifestyle of the man also making Si-Yeon feel strangely moved. It's all like Big sis Taiga's condition repeated. wild Assassin man style.

And honestly the man was not as bad as Shinji. Han-ji just a slightly awkward, but cold, and dangerous when poked. Not that she liked to be poked too.

it's understandable.

Si-Yeon bet that this husband of her would be a accomplished Assassins class if he ever ascend to the throne of heroes. At least he didn't use wraiths like shroud or bone like mask or cursed arms like Hassan-I-sabbah had been.

talk about assassins...shall she released her husband from the organizations clutch? he never seem happy or relaxed at all. he probably blackmailed into organization, or captured. giving him a second shot at a more peaceful life might be a right compensation for her divorce from him right?

oh, she probably also can write some manuals and stories based on his own journey to make some pocket money of her own. heh, those peoples would only think it as a fantasy anyway, might as well milking for all its worth.

Ha-jin POV

"So troubled again, did your accessories give you a hard time?" Quipped the grey haired old man, giving a light smack to his shoulder while grinning widely.

"Jinwoo-sunbae" the bespectacled assassins glare at his old mentor. disapproving of the older man joker side, especially since he was clearly laughing at Ha-jin's misery.

Accessories, was what the people in this bussiness call for civilian cover. a relationship in disguise, and use it to become alibi to make them all seem normal.

Si-Yeon was a perfect candidate cover for him at that time. an orphan without any attachment, an airhead by nature, very easily trusting, and weak, usually become a reason to make them ended as a meat shield or a pawn pieces to use as the situation needed.

like thwarting psycho's woman assassins coworker who wants to court him, his own lady boss who have a Mommy fetish and enjoying harassing him, or any unsavory individuals that included in this bussiness. since a cover was protected in the law of company as long as they never found out about the true face of this company or making a trouble for their owner. the physical pleasure just a bonus out of it.

easily disposed off, and easy maintaining. as it supposed to be, just an accessories.

it's troubling him, now that he doesn't know what to do with Si-Yeon.

an understanding like shone in the old sunbae eyes.

"Hear this oldman advice's youngling. As a man, you should never let the girl have an advantage against you. if you slipped your control, immediately use your every power and live to take it back" with a sagely nod, the greyed hair-man explain, earning a confused stare from Ha-jin.

"why? They're just accessories right?" The bespectacle man voice wavered, damn he can't show vulnerable like this if he doesn't want to be reported. damn Si-yeon always messed with his head.

the oldman look at the younger assassins in pity "she must be a brilliant girl to make even a wall like you, think of her in this kind of time. you need to remember that in our line of work, we would never be happy. we don't deserve it. so before anyone dies because of it, stop hoping"

"She is not! and i'm not compromised with such emotions at all." Ha-jins rebuked, before averted his conflicted gaze to the floor . "but she is making me confused, she is so weird but dumb"

"How so? if it were me, i'll just have sex with her and 'torture' her until she confessed everything she knows though" Jinwoo quipped.

"she keep avoiding me ever since our first night" whisper Ha-jin graveously.

"whahaha, what a pitiful hoobae i have" earning a smack from the younger assassins.Ha-jin once again glaring. it's totally not funny when he check out that Si-Yeon go out to jogging until evening, enjoying her day without him. and when he found out she have a draft of wacky newly created books written in Si-Yeon signature writing style.

whoever stupid enough to make a book like "How to maintain healthy harem life" or "Trick and Tips to avoiding your Girlfriends Cat fight" or "How to tame Dere faction : featuring Yandere, Tsundere, Kuudere", or "Become a repairman for dummies". apparently, Si-Yeon did. it make Ha-jin feel a cold sweat rolling down his back.

What is his wife up to now? and why is that featuring girlfriends? he is a man, not a girls. have Si-Yeon cheating behind his back? Did she like girls?

The Company's Assassin's ace, Lee Ha-jin feel kind of offended by his wife behaviours that remaining week.
