❝ You had me from the start before I could even stop myself, yet somehow these feelings bloomed into love. Is it true that all is fair in love and war? ❞

❝ You need to pretend to be the villain to get the criminal closer to you and to trust you. Besides, acting like the bad guy sounds fun. I should be able to outsmart him, considering my acting skills are good unless something terribly bad happens ❞ --- Sungjong, Dusk, and Dawn

❝ You can't catch me because I prefer the dark instead of the day, but I don't mind the sunlight too much if it means I can see you ❞ --- Sunggyu, Dusk, and Dawn

❝ You're an idiot, you know that, right? I know how to fight to protect myself ❞ --- Sungjong, Dusk, and Dawn

❝ You're not afraid of me, are you? ❞ --- Sunggyu, Dusk, and Dawn

❝ I do get nervous sometimes, but that's because I like you ❞ --- Sungjong, Dusk, and Dawn

NOTES:

There may be some stupid moments in regard to the characters and you will hate a few of them for different reasons haha they are in this story because honestly, my characters are not perfect, and well what's a story without angst?

I got most of my ideas from listening to Taylor's Reputation Album. Do I know if it makes sense with the story? Maybe yes. Maybe not. Some of the songs don't exactly correlate with the vampire/detective/secret agent au.

Please do note my grammar isn't so good, I'm still learning and trying to avoid those mistakes, but feedback and criticism are allowed. I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions, so don't forget to comment, and say hi!

I might have improved over the years. I honestly get easily discouraged, thinking I don't write well and my ideas are lame. I really appreciate all of those who support me and reach out in the most difficult times and their encouragement, thank you.

IMPORTANT!

I will not tolerate any immature comment or anything similar to that. My characters aren't perfect. I'm not a good writer, but I try to write and my love of writing won't stop me even if I feel discouraged.

S U M M A R Y

Sungjong had only one mission which was to keep the president's daughter safe. But when he asks Sunggyu for a dance, he finds himself dancing to a risky rhythm, pulling his heartstrings much more than he expected.

Or in which, Sungjong is hired to protect the president's daughter but falls into a risky game of love and war. The tortoise wins the race against the hare anyway.

A U T H O R ' S N O T E

First of all, can we talk about how Infinite's comeback made every inspirit the happiest person out there??? As a new inspirit (I should have stanned 3 years ago) I've been watching their content, and have never felt this excited as I had when I got into BTS and The Boyz, so that means it's a good thing.

Infinite technically is my childhood, though I didn't stan them. But I did know Woohyun and Sungyeol because of their drama Hi! School Love On. Now I'm wavering between Sungong, Sungkyu, and him. How is it even possible to have a bias in Infinite? Their bond, friendship, talent, and personalities are so heartwarming. 🥲

aNYWAYS STREAM NEW EMOTIONS!!

Okay, so the fic is a test try of me writing a detective/agent au + vampire au but also I love Sunggyu and Sungjong. I don't think there's a ship name (if there is please let me know), so they're basically a rare ship other than they're called le mak line I believe (they're so cute please).

If you've read this far, thank you for giving Dusk and Dawn a chance. I hope I can at least make you guys feel something if not escape from reality, or learn something. I've also been having a hard time writing dialogues, so if you guys want to help, please let me know.

And let's be friends. I promise I don't bite ❤️
