Y/N: *trembling* JK...

JK: *raises an eyebrow* Yes?

Y/N: *voice shaky, eyes darting* Can you please explain...what happened last night?

JK: *gazes at Y/N, his expression inscrutable*

Y/N: *swallows hard, hands trembling* JK...?

JK: *calmly* There's no need for you to know.

Y/N: *frustrated but trying to keep composure* But why? I'm your wife. Why keep me in the dark? Why... why do you insist on owning me?

JK: *stares at Y/NI Haven't I made it clear?

Y/N: *hesitant* I... I have a right to know! Why won't you tell me?

JK: *redirects*Let's just eat.

Y/N: *lowers gaze, feeling defeated*Did... did you... take someone's life last night?

JK: *holds Y/N's gaze, unyielding*What if I did?

Y/N: *fearful*Did you?

JK: *locks eyes with Y/N*What if I said yes?

Y/N: *tears welling upYou... you're a murderer! I... I can't...

JK: *softens slightly*Let's not say things we'll regret later.

Y/N: *voice tremblingWhy me?

JK: *looks awayJust finish your meal. I won't discuss it further.



Y/N's POV:
Why does it always have to be me? Why am I constantly trapped in this nightmare? Can't I just escape from him? But what if he comes after me, or worse, my parents? He knows them... Wait! My parents... Do they know something about JK? Can they help me? Why would they agree to this marriage if they knew who he really is? Or are they just as clueless as I am? I need answers, but I've just ruined the mood... Can I even gather the courage to ask now? Should I even dare? Damn it! I have to try...

Y/N: *nervously*J-JK...

JK: *raises a brow*Hm?

Y/N: *looks down, fidgeting*L-Let's... let's go visit my parents!

JK: *stares, his expression unreadable*


[Y/N's heart races as she waits for his response, hoping her suggestion will diffuse the tension hanging in the air.

Their eyes meet briefly, but Y/N quickly averts her gaze, feeling the weight of his intense stare bearing down on her.]

JK: *in a husky voice*Look at me.

Y/N: *scaredly obeys, meeting his eyes*

JK: *raises a brow, his tone serious*You didn't seem so hesitant to look down when you were talking with that guy.
