Kinetic
Description
At night, Byun Baekhyun roams the city as a masked vigilante under the moniker Kinese, hunting tirelessly for his brother’s murderer. And all the while trying to stay two steps ahead of Elektra, fellow vigilante with a pain-in-the- ideology that she keeps on trying to shove down his throat.
During the day, he’s a sleep-deprived third year university student balancing two headache-inducing majors and running on way too much caffeine to be healthy. Sleep is a luxury, obviously. Not a necessity.
When Baekhyun’s forced to relocate after he accidentally gets his favourite cafe burnt down, he’s left trying to figure out whether or not he can slap dating onto his to-do list as well because the barista at his new haunt is awfully cute.

#046: “only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.” —stephen king
#050: “there are two kinds of guilt: the kind that drowns you until you’re useless, and the kind that fires your soul to purpose.” ―sabaa tahir, an ember in the ashes
#055: “there is no such thing as justice, all the best that we can hope for is revenge.” ―emilie autumn
some little notes:
- i'm still debating whether this'll be split into chapters or one smack huge chapter, so we shall see? either way, i'll be completing it before uploading, be it 4 chapters one 1. it is 5 chapters!
- will be written from baekhyun and eunju's pov; 3rd person, present tense
- will be under 10k words. or literally 10k, on the dot. let's see if i'm capable!
- so it's kind of a mix between a cafe-meet-cute and vigilante!au and another that i will not disclose at this time :')
- inspired by spiderman if you can't tell, and also miraculous ladybug. if you've watched the show you'll know lmaooo
