Vandetta's End

CHAP.54

Tzuyu stood in front of the full-length mirror, adjusting her attire as she was going to the HQ. She glanced at herself, nerves fluttering in her stomach. She was feeling nervous for what was coming ahead as she knew that they were going to strike the Gambinos soon, but what lay heavier on her heart was the thought of leaving Sana behind, even if it was temporary.

Sana entered the room, her presence like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds. She walked up to Tzuyu, wrapping her arms around her waist from behind and resting her chin on Tzuyu's shoulder.

"You look amazing, Tzuyu," Sana whispered, her warm breath tickling Tzuyu's ear.

Tzuyu smiled and turned to face Sana, her hands coming to rest on Sana's hips. "Thank you, but I think you're the one who's amazing."

Sana's eyes sparkled with affection as she leaned in for a tender kiss, their lips meeting in a soft, lingering connection. Tzuyu's worries faded away in that moment, replaced by the comforting feeling of Sana's love.

Sana held Tzuyu's hand, her thumb tracing circles over Tzuyu's knuckles. "You know, what if you don't go ," she said, her voice laced with concern.

Tzuyu's gaze met Sana's, filled with a mix of determination and love. "Sana, I have to do this. It's my duty, and I can't let my family down."

Sana nodded, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "I know, Tzuyu. I just worry about you. I can't bear the thought of something happening to you."

Tzuyu leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to Sana's forehead. "I promise you, I'll come back. This mission might be dangerous, but I'll do everything in my power to return to you. You do remeber when I said that I will even crawl out of hell for you."

Sana's fingers brushed against Tzuyu's cheek, her touch warm and reassuring. "Just promise me you'll be careful. Promise me you'll come back in one piece."

Tzuyu kissed Sana's palm, her lips lingering over Sana's skin. "I promise, Sana. I'll be as careful as I can. And I'll be thinking of you every second I'm away."

They sat in a comfortable silence, their hands intertwined, their hearts speaking the unspoken words of love. Tzuyu leaned in, capturing Sana's lips in a tender, heartfelt kiss, a promise and a reassurance rolled into one.

Sana pulled back, her eyes locked onto Tzuyu's. "I love you, Tzuyu. More than anything in the world."

Tzuyu smiled, her love for Sana shining in her eyes. "And I love you, Sana, with all my heart and soul."

The night was long and solitary for Seulgi as she lay in her room, missing Irene's comforting presence beside her. The empty space in the bed seemed to echo with the absence of the one she longed for.

With a heavy heart, Seulgi turned on the bedside lamp, casting a soft, warm glow across the room. Her eyes fell upon a picture frame, holding a cherished photograph of her and Irene. They were both smiling, their eyes filled with love, their faces illuminated by happiness.

Seulgi reached out and picked up the frame, holding it close to her chest as if it could bridge the gap between them. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek as she whispered, ""Irene, my love, I miss you. Come back to me. The nights without you are so empty."

The room was silent, save for Seulgi's soft voice and the distant sound of the city outside. She continued to speak to the picture as if Irene could hear her, her voice carrying her longing and sadness.

"Irene, I wish you were here with me right now. Your presence always brings me peace, and your laughter fills this room with light. I need you here beside me."

Seulgi's tears fell more freely now, a mixture of sorrow and longing. She traced her fingers over Irene's face in the photograph, as if trying to capture a fleeting memory.

"I know you'll come back to me," she whispered, her voice filled with conviction. "And when you do, I'll hold you close and never let you go. But until that moment, these nights are just endless without you."

As Seulgi spoke to the picture, she felt a sense of connection, a reminder of the love they shared and the strength that love gave her. The night might be long and lonely, but she knew that the dawn would eventually break, bringing Irene back to her side.

She gently placed the picture frame back on the nightstand, a silent promise that she would wait for Irene, no matter how long it took. Then, Seulgi closed her eyes, holding onto the memory of her wife's smile, the sound of her laughter, and the warmth of her embrace, finding solace in the love that would guide her through the darkest of nights.

In the opulent confines of Voss's mansion, Irene lay on the lavish bed, surrounded by luxuries she had no desire for. The room was grand, and everything about it screamed wealth and indulgence, but it all felt hollow and meaningless.

As Irene closed her eyes and tried to find some semblance of sleep, she couldn't escape the nagging feeling that something was amiss. It was as if a magnetic force was tugging at her heart, pulling her in a direction she desperately wanted to go.

The image of Seulgi's face, filled with love and longing, flashed before Irene's eyes. She could almost hear her wife's voice, soft and comforting, calling out to her.

"Irene, my love, I miss you. Come back to me."

It was as if their connection, their love, transcended the physical distance that separated them. Irene knew she was far from Seulgi, but in that moment, it felt as though their souls were intertwined, yearning for each other.

Irene's hand reached out involuntarily, clutching the empty space beside her, where Seulgi should have been. She closed her eyes once more, tears forming at the corners, and whispered into the darkness, "Seulgi, I can feel you. I miss you too, more than words can express."

As Irene lay in the opulent surroundings of Voss's mansion, she found solace in the connection she shared with Seulgi. No matter the physical distance, their love remained a beacon of hope and comfort, guiding her through the darkest of nights.

Though the miles that separated them were vast, their hearts were close, and Irene held onto the promise of reuniting with Seulgi, a thought that brought her warmth and comfort as she drifted into a restless sleep.
