little dragon

A sleek manila folder slid across the hardwood table before it hit the glass of the Old Fashioned, stopping it on its tracks. A tall tattooed man with an evident scar on his right eye, carefully sat down across the table as he watched the leather chair slowly spin around to face him. "I found the file you were lookin' for, it looks like the dragon is back in her cave."

An old man with multiple scars painting his face, his gold tooth showcased as he smirked at the man in front of him, before he picked it up and browsed the dossier. Her profile and multiple pictures of her from grainy cameras were inside.

The word EXCOMMUNICADO was stamped across her file, her black-and-white portrait staring back at him, The face that killed his men in a heartbeat and made his family's life work crumble. He can never forget what she singlehandedly did to all of his hard-work.

"Open the contract. Worldwide. Broadcast it to every single group. Put twenty-six million on her fucking head. I want her to suffer like they did. "

"But boss, word on the street Ruska Roma still has eyes on her. That bitch would never leave her valuable asset alone. We can't risk this—"

The boss slams the desk. While rage fills his eyes and his voice seething.

"I don't care if she's the most valuable asset of the Ruska Roma! Issue the open contract. If the Russians want to get involved so be it, we'll burn them down with their stupid dragon."

His eyes stayed on her profile, memories rushing through his head on how she killed his princesses in cold blood. His grip on the glass hardened before he drank it all in one motion.

The biggest regret he had in life was not slaying the dragon before it burned down his kingdom.

"Happy Birthday, Yeddeong-ah!"

You exclaimed as she groggily wakes up, rubbing her eyes before she focuses her sight on you, wearing that stupid apron Chaeryoung got you for a wedding gift with a grin as your hands grips the breakfast tray on both sides before carefully placing it beside her. It was a simple breakfast, no one can ever mess up.

Hongsam jumps up into the bed and nuzzles himself into Yeji's hand which pets him absentmindedly. She beams her beautiful smile at you before she pulls on the hem of your shirt to make you sit down on the bed. She rests her head on your shoulder before guiding your face to her before she plants a soft kiss on your lips.

"Thank you, honey, I'm very grateful for this breakfast you cooked but I am so much more thankful to the gods above that I didn't wake up to our house burning down from your cooking" She said teasing your horrendous cooking skills. As her head find its way back to your shoulder.

"Can I take back my greeting?"

"Hmmm..nope"

You rolled your eyes before settling next to her as you both talk about the plans for today. Both of you are now past the extravagant plans and want something more chill and comfy. You don't need another Lia situation when she accidentally threw her drink onto strangers while wailing her hands wildly since you and Yeji paid for the birthday dinner.

The two of you talk as you eat the dinner you cooked up. Her hand intertwines yours as her thumb rubs yours. You kiss the top of her head, before you drape your arm onto her, pulling her in a side hug. The two of you just savored the moment with each other before you had to talk about the agenda for today.

The plan was set for today, just a normal comfy day. No interruptions whatsoever.

Yeji just wanted a day to relax and rest, tend to her garden she worked so hard for, before she goes back to her bleak corporate job where she drowns in spreadsheets and meetings. You, on the other hand, are preparing the needed ingredients to attempt to bake a cake for today's special occasion.

Now its you and Hongsam's mission to bake her the best cake she will ever taste in her lifetime. You turn on the radio as music fills the kitchen before scouring the pantry for the ingredients you saw in the online recipe you searched up.

Yeji was hanging freshly washed bedsheets and linen on the clothesline while observing her surroundings. Something she always does unconsciously, since it was drilled into her mind constantly in the past.

"Always be vigilant moy malenkiy drakon (my little dragon)"

She shook her head, getting her mind off the past before she finished hanging up the remaining clothes from the hamper. Now it was time to water her plants in her little garden. But her eyes caught the new black SUV that passed by. She knew everything about this neighborhood and knew that wasn't a neighbor's car.

But she played it off, thinking maybe neighbors are having guests over or maybe they got a new car. She stopped herself before she slips into becoming a weapon again.

Yeji squats down as she pulls up some pesky weeds that grew in her garden. She was minding her business before her ears perked up, hearing an unfamiliar stride rushing towards her. She stood up and looked back, right in time before a knife pierced through the air, nearly missing her face before she kicked him back making him stumble as his back hit the fence. The agent then rushes towards her with a flurry of trained punches, no regular person could do.

Her body moves on its own, her muscles remembering the brutal training the director engraved in her as she dodged and weaved the punches the agent unleashes on her. Using her surroundings she uses a blanket to obscure his vision before she low-blows the agent before she reels her foot back to deliver a brutal heel to the back of his head. No one plays by the rules, a harsh lesson she had to learn on the field when she was starting out.

Two more enter the front yard as she slips back into her old self. The dragon awakens as she rushes to one and launches herself on him as she locks her thighs on his head as she uses the momentum to flip him over with a brutal crash on the concrete pavement.

The other agent then tries to strangle her from behind as she recovers, her sharp elbows finding the agent's sides as she pushes him back making him stumble back onto the fence with force, the momentum flipping him backwards to the other side of the fence.

The agent she sent crashing down is now trying to get out as he shakily pulls out his gun from his holster. Yeji immediately rushes to him as her hand grips his mouth tightly to muffle any noise before she forces his wrist upward with great force, resulting in a visceral crack as the agent's grip lets go of the gun.

She delivers a powerful knee to his midsection as she drives him down face-first with force onto the edge of her flowerbed you helped her build last summer.

The last remaining agent scrambles onto his feet as he jumps the fence and tries to pick up the gun, but Yeji is faster as she turns around and skillfully punts the gun onto the first agent that tried to attack her. The two squared up before they started exchanging blows. The two of them take turns dodging and weaving each other's strikes before the agent grabs a handful of dirt and throws it onto her face, disorienting her.

He then rushes towards Yeji as he pins her to the wall, the agent skillfully strangles her with his strong grip on her neck. She tries to fight back with no result, as her hands scrambles onto her surroundings, trying to find something to use to get him off her.

Her grip then finds her garden hose, before the heavy duty nozzle of it finds the back of the agent's head with a strong thump. It makes him let go as his vision gets disoriented as she seizes this opening by jumping on his back and looping the garden hose on his neck. She then used his height to her advantage to use it for tension as she pulled hard on the hose choking him.

Both of them are now on the ground as Yeji has him in a sleeper hold. His elbows try to find her ribs, before she brutally lodges the nozzle into his mouth with force before she squeezes it as water flows into his lungs. He struggles violently as water sputters everywhere, Yeji tightening her hold onto him as he slowly turns blue.

After a while his body goes limp as Yeji discarded him off of her before she stands up and searches his person to take the pocket knife strapped on his belt. She walks to the first agent as she picks up the gun before inspecting it.

Multiple blacked out cars pulled up with ease on the street as Yeji was now back into being a weapon. Her expression is stoic as she stares down and assesses the vehicles, estimating how many would be inside, trying to come up with an efficient plan to take them out. in her head

She prepares herself as armed men exit the vehicles, her grip tightens around the gun.

Her composure falters as she sees a monster step out of the vehicle.

Heels clack against the gravel before she takes off her sunglasses, a venomous smile appears on her face as she sees Yeji's expression. Her eyes still have the fear she instilled in her since she got her.
