fairytale ending? ; yang jungwon

a pair of feet landed on the soil. nami quickly got off of the boy's back, afraid of putting more pressure on him.

"see, i told you i can do it" jungwon said, whilst dusting his hands on his pants.

"i was scared okay!" the girl defended herself.

the two locked eyes for a while before hearing a loud voice above them.

"JUNG NAMI! YOU BITCH, COME HERE!"

the said girl widened her eyes before grabbing jungwon's hand and running away. as they were running, they heard loud footsteps chasing after them. checking behind him, jungwon saw the girl's father just a few feet away.

what he didn't see was the gun hoisted on his waist.

panicked, the boy took the lead, sprinting fast towards the gazebo. he was practically dragging nami, the girl barely matching his speed.

once they arrived at the beautiful garden, jungwon dragged the girl to hide in one of the bushes. crouching down, the two caught their breath.

"i-is he mad at me or-" he started to ask but was quickly cut off.

"it's not you, he's mad at me. i'm at fault. i broke his rule and now he wants me dead." nami quickly rambled, eyes looking at anything but him.

"why would he want you dead? you can love whoever you want with no regrets, right?" jungwon asked, confused.

bang!

"and who gave her that idea?"

the young boy's body fell limp on the ground, his blood and life seeping out of him. fearfully, nami lifted her head. there he was, his father, smoke coming out of the muzzle of his pistol.

"f-father.."

"do you know? you are a pain in the ass. why don't you ever listen to me. i told you to not engage with those peasants." nami's father spoke darkly.

"stop.." she quietly pleaded. yet her continued.

"now look at your little 'friend', he's dead."

that was it. the final straw. the last push to drive her to the edge.

"IF I'M SUCH A BURDEN THEN WHY DON'T YOU KILL ME NOW!" nami shouted at him.

her father paused.

then gave a devilish smirk.

"with pleasure."

bang!
