   Summary

   “So, Zhao said he couldn't make it, eh?”
   “Yeah, same goes for Joongi.”
   “The hell, they don't like us any more? This is our first time grabbing beers in six months.”
   “Nah, they’re just looking out for us. They’re still part of the underworld, so they can't exactly pal around all the time, you know?”

   aka these lines made me wonder what Joongi and Zhao got up to between Y7 and Y8 / aka Joongi’s Y7 drink links but with Zhao, and with less alcohol (but more violence)

   Key features: Joongi enduring the dangers of assassin work, Zhao trying his damnedest to look after him, so many dog metaphors, Joongi living in a perpetual state of Identity Crisis, Zhao and Joongi fighting in every sense of the word, vague emotional resolution (but it is there!)
