Capture Target: You! [Sung Jinwoo X Reader]

The first time you met Sung Jinwoo was hardly a fond memory.

Walking home no longer felt as easy as it did before. After the gates were discovered, and people awakened at random, chaos encapsulated the events that occured after.

As more and more people received power that far surpassed human standards, more and more people fed on the disorder and abused their newfound abilities. In these trying times when everyone was still adjusting to the sudden shift in balance, more and more evildoers made themselves known, awakened or not.

You cursed your teachers for sending you off late, shivers running down your spine at the thought of walking alone at night. It wasn't the most ideal, considering how many crimes have happened recently.

Still, what choice did you have? You could only complain about the fact but you couldn't change anything about it.

The cold night air bit your skin, making you shiver in response. For a while now, you noticed three shady figures following you around, keeping a few steps away. You kept alert, tightening your hold on the slings of your backpack as you kept your ear peeled for any signs of their footsteps hastening.

Your legs trembled with every step you took, terror making itself known as you fought back the urge to look back. You can't look back-the moment you do, it's over.

You bit your lip, incapable of masking the terror you felt. The streets were quiet, it's usual hustle and bustle gone as crime rates rose and people became reluctant to stay outside at such a late time.

"Hey, sweet stuff."

Your heart sank when one of them finally spoke out, no doubt referring to you. You freeze for a moment, heart ramming against your rib cage as you hear their jeers growing louder.

You swallow thickly, risking a glance, but stopped midway. No, no, no. If you look back-if you look at them, the horror would be all too real.

They're not really calling out to you, right?

Hopefully that isn't the case.

You prayed the hardest you ever did, begging the gods above to not let you be a victim of whatever plans they had.

Walking faster, you ignore their coos, hoping desperately they'd let you go. In the first place, why were they pursuing you? You weren't even attractive anyways. Then again, they probably couldn't care less, they could just cover up your-you stop your thoughts real quick before they could delve in anything darker.

Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, this is fine. I'm fine I'm totally fine. You bit your lip, knuckles turning white from the sheer force of your grip.

"Hey hey, why in a rush?"

They keep up with you in a matter of moments. Appearing in your forefront, they block the space you walk in with their bodies. You froze, body trembling as your eyes met theirs.

Menacing, disgusting, your breath stilled the moment they came in front of you. There was no escaping it now, wasn't it?

"B-back off." You cringed at the way you stuttered, nearing a whimper with your attempts to act strong.

The three threats laughed, amusement evident in their eyes as they eyed their prey. You take a step back, they take one forward. It was a repeating motion, until one of them got impatient and just straight up grabbed your wrist.

You winced, hastily pulling back your arm from his hold. He didn't relent, only exert a bit more force when you resisted his tug. Your heart sank, and you become petrified at the thought of not being able to do anything.
