My movement is unique
It's not common
1 2 5 to 7
I'm a Dancer of the darkness

Irene Bae was a goddess, and she knew it. But more importantly she owned it. Everything about her she owned with a sense of sophistication and confidence through any given situation. It was something he always found endearing especially on the first night they had met, the way she danced around in a red tango dress, hair flowing untamed against her form, quite like the fire in her eyes. She had everyone captivated the minute her body moved, her movements razor sharp, as she strutted around with ease, a small menacing smirk on her face, and eyes claiming everyone ruthlessly. And as he sipped on his drink, he was in a trance, eyes fixated and adamant to not leave even when he tried to will himself the other way, he found that he could not.

My whole body twists snap snap
I'll go closer to the bed
Frightfully
I steal your heart and rule

He was an assassin sent by the organisation JYP to end her. To end the SM goddess, a rival. But just with one look, she moved closer, taking the breath out of his lungs as she walked closer. How they ended up in a bedroom, he couldn't remember. One minute she was dancing around him, eyeing him like prey and the next they were entangled in a dominating kiss, tasting the very depths of each other. She pushed him back, straddling him slightly, and moving her hips slowly in a teasing manner. He gripped them harshly, feeling the smirk that graced her lips as she kissed along his neck. He knew she could hear his pulse thumping relentlessly and he knew with in a second glance that she had monstrously stolen his heart dominating it with just one night.

One lighting, why are there two shadows?
I think something else inside me opened its eyes

He felt her move against him, his eyes half opening to watch the goddess in front of him as her hair brushed down against her bare back, her hand raking through it and shaking it a bit, she stood up, her warmth disappearing in a matter of seconds as she stood up slipping into her dress, yet he was taken back by the two shadows that illuminated under the sunlight that dipped in through the closed blinds, he watched as she bent down placing her heels back on and walking towards the mirror, touching her reflection with a small smirk. He could see her eyes from where he was, and he could see something awaken in them, and with the eye liner and mascara they emphasised that very look to the point he felt himself shiver against his own skin. He watched as she twirled around, catching the way her hair flew as she did, her steps heading towards him as he shut his eyes, pretending to be back in his deep slumber. She trailed her manicured nail against his jaw slightly, caressing it gently before trailing down his neck and resting it against his Adam's apple before trailing it to his chest, scratching him slightly. He winced, his eyes remaining closed. He felt her lean closer, her lips against his before moving to plant a final one against his forehead and leaving. And the minute she did, his eyes opened, and he released the breath he hadn't realised he had held.

I'm a little monster, make me afraid
I torment you, I only make you dream of me

His mission was simple. To kill her. Yet the opposite seemingly happened. He could tell she wasn't a normal woman. Far from the ones he had dealt with in the past, because all his tactics ultimately seemed to fail in her presence. The first being to in still fear. He found it absurd. But JYP always wanted things done his way, and so he followed. Step 1: make her afraid. Yet all she did was smirk in his presence. As if she found it amusing at what he was trying to accomplish. And it was that very fact that made him blush slightly, as he rubbed the base of his neck under her intense stare. And their second encounter ended with her shaking her head and laughing. When he reached home, the darkness of the house surrounded his heart, and as he closed his eyes trying to find a moment of peace, all he could dream about was her. Of her eyes, of her magnificent body. And he felt like he had reached heaven on Earth.

I want to play and dance, when I cast a spell
on top of your paralyzing body

The third time he saw her was similar to the first scene, his orders being to end her tonight. Why he hadn't worked it out, nor had he been told but once again he saw her on stage hovering around like an angel dressed in white, her movements were once again poisoned with elegance and with a quick scan around the room, he saw that once again she had everyone captivated. The radiance from her skin made her look like a celestial being, absolutely ethereal. He watched as he walked towards him, the familiar glint in her eyes as she grabbed his glass, drinking down the contents without moving her eyes from his, she licked her lips slightly, moving to dry it off with the base of her thumb before using that exact same one to brush against his lips. She chuckled at her effect, taking a step back, and another until she had turned her back. He looked down at the glass, seeing her red lipstick print against it, bringing it to his own lips. An indirect kiss. And just like that she had changed the entire game in her favour because now...all he could see was her. It paralysed him. But it was beautiful.

I'm a little monster
I'm a little monster

There was something about her that he hadn't quite worked out, but from the whispers around him, he heard her heart was black. She didn't care about anything but survival. And it was that fact that fashioned her into a monster. But he saw her as a warrior. A warrior who fought in battle every day to survive another. His eyes watched as she stalked another prey, her gun mercilessly trailing against the other mans neck despite the whimpers he let out in return. Jackson shoved his hands into his pockets watching her from afar as she giggled sadistically watching the man beg, and just as she decided to let him go, her gun turned swiftly and with one precise shot blood splattered against the alley. She bent down, and he saw it in her eyes. The monster within.

The cold ground
I woke up from a pile
Dawn at twilight
I'm still existing

Their fourth encounter was them getting to know each other, and on her part she hadn't hesitated for a second in telling her story, her transition from nothing into what she was. The way people wronged her over the years and how she used that to build herself from the ashes. And it was her story that made him admire all the more. And for the first time his eyes shone with pride for another person. And suddenly as if she had prompted him with her own honesty, the words seemingly tumbled from his lips. He watched as she listened intently, a smile ghosting her features and he felt as if someone actually cared about him. Someone outside of his family finally took notice in his struggle, understanding what he had been through and listening with the utmost care.

It's not like I don't like this madness
I'm enjoying this, you know
You can't escape
Don't run away, you'll get hurt

He could see from her eyes the small excitement in them when they started meeting outside their scheduled events where he was supposed to kill her. He knew he shouldn't. He also knew he was playing a dangerous game, yet it was exactly that, that was enticing, endearing. The small little exchanges, the little brushes of hands, they were both enjoying it. But the rules of the game had seemingly changed before he had any say in it. The fifth night was something more interesting. For her. He saw her again in her element, but this time their was a darker aura about her, the pleasure in which she took in other people pain, awoke a fear in him, but what scared him more was she had just killed one of his friend's who had accompanied him on this mission, his target being Kang Seulgi. His breath caught in his lungs, watching the life drain from his friends eyes. And he turned, his legs picking up speed as he ran, his blazer flying out. Irene had caught that, and the smirk on her face was enough to send shivers down someone's spine. "Oh don't run baby." She whispered softly, standing from her crouched position as Seulgi joined her, the two passing a smirk to each other.

I redeem you and make fun you back again
Oh I'm perfect and again a mess

But in a space of an hour in his mind she had already redeemed herself. He knew JB, and he know how malicious he could become. Why his target suddenly changed he didn't know nor did he care. It was toxic. He knew. Even in such a small space of time the spell she cast against him was one he hadn't realised until he was fully caught in her web. And by then it was too late.

Look I'm just playing
There is no bad intention
Who can reject
the small, but dangerous me

The next time she came to him, words fell short. She pushed him against the wall, her hips rubbing into his as she kissed against his jaw. He attempted to pry her hands of him, but soon he couldn't help but be enslaved to her, to the way her lips moved against his. He manoeuvred her with ease slamming her against the wall and working on dominating her. But soon with the dawning realisation he untangled himself from her lips, pushing back away from her. "We can't." He spoke, his eyes closing as she pulled him closer, her chest rubbing up against his. "And who would refuse me?" She spoke pulling the nape of his neck closer, her lips ghosting his, eyes flickering every now and then to his enchanting eyes, as she pushed forward claiming his lips. And just like that he knew she was right. No one could refuse her. And he didn't, he led her towards his room, stripping her bare and marking her body as his own, yet it was all just a facade. To make it look he was in control.

It's time for the breaking dawn
You who is now relieved
Wants to come out of the dream
But monster lives forever

"She's like you Jackson..." his boss spoke walking around towards the young man. "She's an assassin for SM. One of her best that we need to take out. She's killed so many of our best but now you need to end her." He nodded, his breath falling short as he walked out of his office, his mind piecing things together slowly. She had known from the very start who he was. And just like him instead of pulling the trigger like they should have, they kept entangling in this dangerous game, because over the few months they had spent together, something awoke from within. Some would call it a monster, but others would recognise it as love. Yin and Yang dancing a fiery dance with hesitance. Both of them had the capability to kill. To destroy. But who would strike first when the monster was immortal? He walked over to the warehouse he had called her too, and soon they once again played their game of his and seek. He ran around looking for her, gun in hand. His eyes restlessly searching. He looked around seeing dead bodies hanging, his eyes widening and repulsing at the stench that hit his nostrils. He heard a laugh. And he knew it was hers, his heart thumping violently, as he whirled around, she was calling him out, and he like a fool played her game perfectly. Because of course she was the devil disguised as an angel. She called his name softly, a blade dancing in her hands as she looked at him, jumping from her stance on higher ground in front of him, her movements razor sharp just like the time she danced as the two tangled in violent movements. His gun pressed up against her throat, whilst her blade stood dangerously close to his heart. Yet all that was audible was their heavy breaths as they stared at each other.

What do you choose in front of duty or love?

I'm a little monster
I'm a little monster
I'm a little monster

Years had gone by.
The two still alive,
Because they decided that a life together was better. They resigned simultaneously from their jobs, ending the animosity.
The little monster that lived with in them both was now tamed, living harmoniously in love.

The end
