"You betrayed me," the devil accused. "I loved you, but you betrayed me."
"I'm so sorry. I love you so much. I didn't mean to hurt you." Y/n desperately tried to stop the flow of blood on his shoulder, but she couldn't.
Soon the whole floor was filled with blood, and Kim Tae-hyung's lifeless eyes stared back at her.
Y/n woke up with a loud gasp, sweating and shaking. It was the middle of the night, and she was having her recurring nightmare.
She blinked her eyes rapidly to stop her eyes from seeing blood flowing out of the man she loved.
Slowly and painfully, her vision cleared. Instead of the polished marbled floors filled with blood, she saw the wooden floors of the small beach house she was currently in.
She was lying down on the living room couch where she slept each night. The beach house had a bedroom, but she refused to use it. It was too painful to lie on a bed without him next to her.
"I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you," she whispered out loud.
She missed him so much that she imagined feeling his presence and touch. In her sleep, she felt his arms surrounding her and kissing her on her forehead to comfort her. She could even smell him, the subtle smell of his cologne.
Sometimes she wondered if it was worth living a life without ever being able to touch him or feel him. She might have pressed the trigger that killed him eventually, but she had killed her soul along with him.
She took a deep, shuddering breath as sorrow threatened to double her over in pain once again.
"I miss you so much," she whispered. "I want you and need you. I love you."
She was seeing him again. He was seated on the opposite couch, watching her quietly. He was wearing a black shirt and trousers, looking so devastatingly handsome.
"Will you haunt me like this forever?" she whispered. hoping that he did. She never wanted to let go of his memories.
"You haunted me since the moment I met you," his deep voice answered. "So it's only fair that I haunt you even longer."
In her pain and sorrow, her mind was conjuring up even his voice.
"I betrayed you and killed you. I'm so sorry," she whispered.
"Don't be sorry." the deep voice replied. "You did the right thing. I'm proud of you."
She stared at the vision with her slowly widening eyes.
The vision looking back at her looked every bit like the devil. But unlike the devil's last look, this vision's eyes were not accusing her of betrayal. In fact, it looked exactly like how the devil did when he gave her his mother's beautiful pendant. He looked at her with love and desire.
With her heart thudding, Y/n got up from the couch and walked towards him. The vision watched her quietly as she stopped in front of him.
With trembling hands, she reached out and touched his face. Warm skin met her hand, and she could feel the softness of his skin.
He turned his head and laid a kiss on her palm, and she felt every bit of it too.
"You bastard," she whispered in shock. "I hate you!"
