Lifeless

Summary:

Wooyoung is simply tired of life, and when he stumbles across a Twitter account for a hitman named Ruby looking for clients, he signs himself up as both a client and a target.

Chapter 1: Woo's friends & family (character introduction pt.1)

Notes:

Originally, I introduced the characters gradually as they showed up in the story to keep an element of surprise, but AO3 is different and everyone is tagged anyway so I'm putting everyone in Wooyoung's part of the story as a chapter here, and then adding everyone else as another chapter before San's part starts.

Small disclaimer before we start. Not all accounts shown will be used, some of them are just in the introductions for "world building" purposes :p

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Notes:

I miss this fic so I decided to take the time to very slightly rework it (literally just rewording things to my liking and adding details to parts as I read over it all) and repost the entire thing here!
