Aerum's POV
"What happened?" The male asked, as he looked at me. I let out a breathy sigh, as I sat down on the bed beside him, recalling the instance as I narrated him everything.
Flashback
"When are you coming down? I'm waiting near the gate." Youngjae said from the other side. I chuckled at him being impatient.
"Ten more minutes Jae, then we can go home." I said, as I removed my surgical mask, throwing it in the dustbin, the phone in one of my hand.
"You make me wait too much." He said, whining. I burst out laughing, as I could literally hear him pouting from here.
"Fine fine. I'm cutting the call." I said, after which I cut the call, shoving the phone in my pocket. I looked up at the clock hanging on the wall and realised it was almost two in the morning.
After finishing up everything and handing the key to the security guard, I went downstairs to the parking, where I saw Youngjae waiting for me beside the car.
Suddenly, when I was walking towards him, I felt two strong arms hold me from behind, trying to pull me away. Youngjae's smile faded, as he ran towards me, to save me from that man's grasp, when I saw another man come from behind, hitting him on the head with the butt of a gun.
"No! Leave him alone!" I shouted, as I saw Youngjae stumble back upon the impact, while the man behind me dragged me away.
"Calm down, princess. We are just kidnapping you." The male behind me said, chuckling darkly, as he kept his hand over my mouth. I resisted, as I tried to free myself from his grasp but I failed miserably.
"You are not taking her anywhere." I heard Youngjae say, before he ran towards me again, trying to free me from the man's grip.
"Jae, no. They'll hurt you." I said, my voice muffled. Somehow, he understood what I had said.
"I'm not leaving you, Aerum." He said, before he threw a punch at the male who was holding me. The man stumbled back upon the impact, but soon regained himself, as he took out a gun from his belt.
"No please!" I shouted, but before I could do anything, the male pulled the trigger, the bullet hitting Youngjae on his chest. his body jerking back due to the force. "Youngjae no!" I shouted, tears streaming down my face, as I saw my fiancé's body fall on the ground. I ran towards him, as I crouched down, placing is head on my lap as I held his left hand, my other one trying to stop the flow of blood from his chest.
"I love you..." He muttered, before his hand slipped out of mine. I closed my eyes, tears falling down them for all they were worth, as I hugged his lifeless body, sobbing loudly, as I mentally prayed that this was just a horrible nightmare.
"Drama's over sweetheart. Let's go." A voice said, as he picked me up. I kicked my legs, as I tried to free myself from his grasp when suddenly a napkin was kept over my face, covering my nose and mouth, as the sweet smelling chemical entered my nostrils, making me unconscious.
End of Flashback
"Then I woke up here, with you lying on the bed, almost dead. The man who came into the room right now told me that I had to heal you. He was the one who had kidnapped me and killed Jae." I said, my voice low, as tears streamed down my face, falling on the mattress. The male beside me let out a silent gasp after hearing me out.
Jake's POV
"Jihun did that?" I asked, horrified, my voice almost a whisper. Aerum whipped her head around, as she looked at me, shock written all over her face.
"You know him?" She asked, as she quietly got up, slowly walking away from me, fear evident in her eyes. I shook my head, as I understood what she was exactly thinking.
"No- Aerum listen to me-" I said, trying to calm down the female who was looking at me with an horrified expression. "Jihun betrayed us. He betrayed Diana's trust. And I swear the hatred towards him is mutual." I said, as I looked at her intently. She took a deep breath, as she nodded.
"It must be hard for your girlfriend." She said, as she sat down beside me again, looking down at the mattress. My eyes widened, as I looked at her in utter shock, as I wondered how she knew that Diana was my girlfriend or the fact that I had a girlfriend. "You spoke stuff when you were out." She said, as she looked at me, her gaze soft, as if she had read my mind. I let out a small chuckle, embarrassed.
"I'm sorry." I said, as I looked at the female, who was looking down at her hands, fiddling with her fingers. "I can imagine how hard it must be for you." I said, nodding slowly.
"I can probably sit and cry my eyes out, mourning or else I can imply what he always believed in." She said, as she turned around to look at me. "That is, try being what others died thinking about you. He always told me to be a strong woman, stick to your decision and have faith in good." She said, as she let out a breathy sigh.
"Wise man." I said, nodding. Aerum chuckled softly, nodding, as she agreed with me.
"Wise indeed. So I decided instead of just sitting and feeling depressed, I'll rather try wringing the neck of that Jihun bitch and make him pay." She said, as she clenched her fists tightly in anger, making her knuckles turn white due to the pressure. "And probably know your name along the way because I still don't know it." She said, a smile tugging on her lips, her eyes on me. My eyes widened, surprised, before I burst out into chuckles.
"Well, that was unexpected. My name's Jake." I said, smiling, as I stretched out my hand. "And welcome to the team." I added, as I shook her hand. She acknowledged it, as she gave a quick nod, a small smile on her lips.
