The female assassin's eyes twitch, hearing the way the person in front of her addresses her. It's not the first time that she got addressed by this name by this person.
Every time they cross paths or get assigned to work together, this person calls her by this name.
Y/n is familiar with this person's face and personality. She knows even about the occupation since both of them work in the same line. Both of them are assassins.
Just like she is known as Silver Mask, the merciless assassin among the people, this person is also known as Scar, the brutal assassin. But there is one similarity between them. People tend to mistake their identities as males at first but actually, both of them are female assassins.
Gwan Borum, who is known as Scar among the people, is also a very brutal assassin like Silver Mask. She has a massive scar across her face which she gained during her first kill. Since that day she has been killing with the name Scar. After killing her victims she put six bullets in her victim's forehead, marking it as her signature move.
Borum has a diamond-shaped face decorated with a pair of soft hazel blue eyes, a straight nose with a pair of curved eyebrows. A silver lip ring is tightly hugging the lower portion of her sharp lips along with a few piercings which are dangling from both of her ears. Her straight auburn hair is in a loose bun with two plain hairpins by the sides of her head keeping the strand of her hair in place.
Borum chose to dress herself with a blue halter dress along with a pair of matching open-toe heels for the occasion.
Borum worked for Born Killers a couple of times and got an invention for the eighth member's official welcome party. At first, she thought about rejecting it but after knowing that Silver Mask is joining their gang, she accepted it. She wanted to see how the soloist assassin adjusted in the gang.
Silver Mask and her first meeting weren't good. Their first impression of each other was very bad.
Two years ago both of them got assigned for a job by a rich family to kill a person more like their business rival. The hirer thought that if by chance one fails, the other one will complete the job.
Silver Mask and Scar of them believed that the opposite party is an assassin hired by a rival businessman. Because of this small misunderstanding they had a neck-to-neck fight for quite some time until both of them received calls from the same hirer, asking them if the mission was done or not.
Right then they understood the strategy of the hirer and instead of killing his rival, they assassinated the hirer. Since then both of them crossed paths a few times, did jobs, and fought with each other. Scar finally found a suitable rival with whom she can practice her fighting skills.
From Y/n's side, uncle Dae-sung suggested she should practice with Borum to sharpen her skills, which she gladly accepted.
But when Borum gets saved by Silver Mask during a mission, she becomes grateful to her and later slowly grows attached to her. She understands that the person hidden by the skull mask is not that bad.
Since then Borum starts calling her by the name Darling, someone who is very dear to her.
For Y/n, she wanted to keep things with her professionally but she never knew that Borum would grow attached to her. But observing Borum quite a few times Y/n understands that the female assassin is not as bad as she thought she would be.
Borum circles around Y/n for one time, confusing her. Her eyes notice how different Y/n looks in a dress. Like a whole different person.
"You are looking very beautiful today, I must say." Showing a gentle smile Borum pats Y/n's shoulder in a friendly manner.
"So you are Scar. It's a very rare sight to see you in a dress." Y/n also compliments Borum, since she did look way different from her natural all-time look.
"I visited your apartment last week to challenge you for a fight but didn't know that you already joined a gang. Anyways, congratulations Darling, on becoming a part of Born Killers." Borum extends her hand for a handshake, a radiant smile is visible on her face, unlike the scowl she always shows.
Keeping aside the nickname issue, Y/n also shows a smile, extending her hand forward, "Thanks, Scar."
Borum's eyes slightly enlarged, seeing the smile on her face. They have crossed paths various times during their missions but this is the first time she saw a genuine smile on Silver Mask's face.
A few times, Y/n removed her mask in front of Borum. She was the first person to witness the real face of Silver Mask other than her uncle which she is proud of. But Y/n never once showed any kind of expression other than her usual blank look.
As if she doesn't know how to show emotions.
As if she locked every emotion inside her.
Even during the killings Borum never saw her once gritting her teeth in anger or getting tense in a tight situation. Masking her emotions with a blank expression Silver Mask only killed numerous people.
Even when Y/n killed a victim way too mercilessly in front of Borum she kept her straight face.
"That's a lot of change to digest," Borum says in a low tone, rubbing the tip of her nose but it didn't fly past Y/n's ears.
"Change? What changed?" Y/n asks, cocks a brow in surprise.
"I'm talking about your change. You changed a lot in these few days Darling." Borum tells her, gulping down the remaining alcohol from her wine glass.
"What do you mean I changed? From height to appearance to skills, I'm still the same as before." Y/n confidently asserts, accepting the glass of fruit juice that the fellow assassin bought earlier.
Borum shakes her head in disagreement. "It's true that from your appearance you are still the same Silver Mask, but I can see that in these days you have learned to show your true emotions." Scar tells the fellow female assassin a bit more clearly to understand.
Y/n attempts to say something but shuts her mouth since the fellow female assassin isn't wrong. She did change a lot, her fellow gang members' influence changed her a lot.
Flashing a small smile towards the fellow assassin, the new gang member of Born Killers takes a sip from the glass of fruit juice, before roaming her eyes around the enormous room. But they stop wandering, catching a scene.
Y/n knits her brow in a frown watching women encircling around the gang leader. Some are either conversing or trying to get touchy with him.
Seeing that situation her face contort with rage and the smile on her face disappeared like it never existed.
Unknowingly her hand tightens around the glass, as she directs her menacing glare that way. A glare that can turn someone into ashes.
Seeing her grip tightening around the designer glass, and her not-so-pleased face, Borum also follows the fellow female assassin's gaze to see the situation only to find the gang leader of Born Killers surrounded by women.
Borum looks back at Y/n holding a confused stare.
"Why is she looking so angry seeing Suga talking with-" Borum starts mumbling to herself in a low tone but stops as soon as she realizes the cause. She again takes glances at the fellow female assassin, noticing her staring at the gang leader with a grim look on her face.
Is this what I think it is? Is she jealous? Borum gazes at Y/n, gaping her mouth due to the sudden surprise.
On the other hand, Y/n is confused by her sudden change of mood. Everything was fine until her eyes fell on the gang leader.
A pang of jealousy hit her watching him conversing with the ladies so happily. The other members are also surrounded by many influential people and ladies but it doesn't bother her but when it's about Yoongi it does bother her.
He can talk to whoever he wants to but why is it bothering me so much? Y/n asks herself as her jaw tightens.
The female assassin decides to look away and focus on the previous conversation but before she can, Yoongi and her eyes meet.
A fake smile Yoongi was maintaining during the occasion fades away, seeing Y/n looking at his way, more like glaring at the ladies surrounded around him.
He raises his brows as a teasing smile appears on his face. Y/n immediately looks away since the gang leader caught her red-handed. She covers her face to hide her flushed face.
Borum notices that Yoongi caught Y/n staring at him now she is blushing like a tomato. She still has a displeased expression on her face but there is also a blush evident on her face.
The right side of Borum's lip tugs upwards, seeing Yoongi's smile and Y/n's sudden change of attitude. She finally got the answer to her question.
Interesting.
"Hey Y/n, want some alcohol?" Jimin approaches the new gang member with a smile and two glasses of alcohol.
"You know right-" before Y/n can finish her sentence Borum takes a glass from Jimin's hand.
"First of all Y/n hates alcohol," she corrects the punch man before taking a sip from the glass, staring right back at him.
Jimin panics since he didn't notice the person next to the new gang member earlier. Since he kind of avoids Scar since the day they had a face-off.
If I knew she is here I wouldn't have approached Y/n now. Jimin bites on his lower lip, regretting his decision. A dark shadow looms over his face, catching a glimpse of the gorgeous lady by Y/n's side.
"Second you didn't bother to say hi to me J-i-m-i-n-y, I'm hurt," Borum says in a phony hurtful tone while approaching him and slings an arm around his shoulder in a friendly manner.
The smile on Borum's face, seeing Jimin avoiding her gaze. She inches her face towards his ear, seeing him silent.
"You still haven't greeted me yet Jiminy. You used to be the first one to greet me whenever I used to visit Born Killers headquarters." Lowering her tone a bit, Borum speaks to the punch man, who looks back at her and this time pain was visible in her tone.
Jimin has an unreadable expression on his face but in his eyes, hurt is clearly visible in his eyes.
Y/n looks at them in utter confusion, not understanding the current situation. She never knew that Jimin and Scar are close to each other.
Jimin looks hurt and Scar is demanding for a greeting, what the fuck is this situation? What's their relationship? Are they on good or bad terms?
Seeing someone approaching Y/n, Borum's eyes light up and she decides to leave that person and Y/n alone.
"Let's drink some more since you don't look half-drunk yet, Jiminy," Borums says, grabbing his arm.
"I'll see you later Darling, bye," Borum tells the fellow female assassin and without giving Jimin a chance to decline, she hurriedly leaves with him, disappearing into the crowd of guests.
Y/n attempts to call the female assassin but someone places a hand over her shoulder stopping her from doing it.
"Scar gave us a chance to talk, let's utilize it." By hearing the soft yet deep voice, the female assassin knew who this person was. She looks back at him, showing disinterest in any type of conversation, the previous questions disappear from her mind.
"Don't you have to check the guests, so what are you doing here, Mr Cruel Gangster?" Y/n sarcastically asks the gang leader, emptying her glass in a sip, remembering the scene she watched moments ago.
A whimsical smile flashes on his face, hearing the way the female assassin answered and tried not to show to get furious. He can see the jealousy in her eyes but he also knows that she'll never admit it.
A few important guests approach Yoongi and Y/n moments later, seeing them together. By congratulating Y/n for becoming the new gang member of Born Killers, they introduce themselves. Some introduce as weapon suppliers, bombs and tells Y/n to give them a call if she needs anything.
Some introduce themselves as Born Killers to their previous clients, some introduce as close friends while some introduce as investors who helped Born Killers financially in their earlier days.
Y/n also gets to know there are some people whom Yoongi trusts and treats as allies.
The other gang members except for Jimin soon join them in the conversation though, in Y/n's eyes, six of them look quite drunk. Especially Taehyung and Jin look very drunk, Hoseok's cheeks are flushed due to getting drunk but he looks lost in his own thoughts, Namjoon still has a wine glass in his hand, and Jungkook, he has a banana milk carton in his hand.
Y/n decides to not ask anything about that milk carton, worrying that Jungkook will misunderstand her again.
Just like the female assassin received congratulations she also receives some hateful stares from groups of ladies who look hella displeased but she doesn't bother with them.
It's not like they can cause her any harm since they looked very scared the time she killed Mr. Song.
Y/n knows that by having seven handsome, attractive, guys on both sides, it's natural to receive attention and hateful glares from several women.
It's best to ignore those hateful glares.
"Have you seen Jimin, Y/n?" Namjoon asks, showing curiosity, looking around the enormous hall room.
"He must be with Scar. I think by now they are having some kind of drinking competition." Just like Borum told her earlier about having more drinks with Jimin, Y/n tells Namjoon, laughing at the end.
Namjoon raises a brow hearing this from Y/n, a surprised look looms over his face. Seeing the smile disappear, Y/n decides to ask the reason.
"Is something wrong with that?" She asks, showing concern.
"Nope, nothing wrong," Namjoon assures her while taking a sip from his wine glass.
"It's just that they haven't interacted with each other for a long time. Their sudden interaction surprised me." The hacker explains, leaving the new gang member speechless.
