Sniping

“This is a place you can’t just enter.”

……

On the rooftop of a building that is about to undergo remodeling.

Kwon Hyun-se stopped when he saw someone he hadn’t noticed due to the structure of the railing.

A person leaning over the railing, looking at something.

Small in stature—

A woman?

“The strap’s come undone. I need to tie it properly while running.”

When he faced her small face, filled with confusion and fluster,

Kwon Hyun-Se, while putting the cigarette in his mouth into the pocket of his thin windbreaker,

stood in front of her.

“…Are you going to report me?”

“Kitty, you’re worried about that?”

As her eyes blinked rapidly, like a computer that’s overloaded,

Kwon Hyun-Se called out to her in a low voice, as if to snap her out of it.

“Kitty, I’m not the police, so I won’t arrest you. I need you.”

“…W-What do you mean?”

Staring intently at her ever-changing face, Kwon Hyun-Se’s lips curled slightly.

“I need a sniper. A marksman.”

“Well, there are plenty of snipers.”

“Not just any sniper, the best one. Like you, Kitty.”
