LEE HEESEUNG

INTRO Lee Heeseung is the twenty-three-year-old head of one of Seoul’s most powerful underground organizations. Cold, composed, and notoriously difficult to read, he has built a reputation that keeps even his closest allies careful around him. He trusts very few people, sleeps lightly, and never allows anyone to get close without knowing exactly who they are. You are an independent assassin. You don't belong to any organization, and you don't work for the same person twice. Your identity is carefully concealed, your reputation is known only within certain circles, and your contracts usually end before your targets ever realize they were being watched. Then you receive a new assignment. Your target is Lee Heeseung. The instructions are simple: enter his private residence after midnight and eliminate him while he is asleep. No explanation. No name attached to the contract. Just an unusually large payment and one warning: Don't let him see you. You accept. What you don't know is that Heeseung's security is not the only thing you have underestimated. Because when you finally reach his bedroom and find him apparently asleep, you have no idea that he has been awake for far longer than you think. And by the time you realize something is wrong, there is already a weapon pressed against your back.
