Aera's pov

"Aera has always been a good friend of mine , but i know you're wondering why i almost killed her" he chuckles " well sometimes sacrifices are needed to be made in order to protect one or..... hide a truth".

Truth ? what kind of truth...?

"Stop playing with me yeonjun and tell me what the hell is going on , you a**hole" i hear jake yelling at him , anger visible in his voice as i shudder hearing it.

He walks up to jake whispering something in his ear which isnt audible to me but i try my best to figure out what it is suddenly.... Yeonjun starts to beat him up as i stand there shocked not knowing what to do but jake tackles him down , yeonjun warns him but jake doesnt lie and spontaneously a bullet out of no where pierce's through jakes shoulder making him fall on the ground while groaning and i cup my mouth in shock.

"JAKE!?" i shout his name as both of their attention diverts towards me.

"Wrong move aera" yeonjun says gritting his teeth as he moves towards me .... I try to run away but he grabs me by the arm and another bullet pierces through the air.

"NO!"Jake shouts with all his might trying to stand up thinking the bullet hit me but

Yeonjun got shot.....

He's bleeding ....

Tears pool in my eyes seeing blood flow through his waist as he groans and grips the wound.
"Yeonjun you...." Im at loss for words. He suddenly looks at me , his eyes gloomy , an emotion i cant describe but feel . "Run aera , take jake and run as far a-as you can , a-away from here"

"But you're-" he cuts me in the middle "i'll be fine , i promise , just run from here-" another bullet shot.

"RUN AERA!" Yeonjun yells at me this time , as i get up running towards jake whos walking slowly as if losing consciousness but barely making it towards the exit. I rip the side of my dress and pressing the wound with it as he groans , i put his arm over my shoulder as we both try to walk fast with the firing still going on.

I didn't realize that my breathing became uneven and my head dizzy as the PTSD had started to take control of me . Everyone knew i had a trauma but nobody it was severe to the point I developed PTSD shuddering at the sight of blood and gun's , gun shots the worst.

I dont give up and keep walking with jake until we are out of the construction area , but both of us give up and fall on the road , panting heavily i get up again trying to pick jake as i notice he's starting to lose conscious.

"G-get up jake" i try to catch my breath as i feel like i will faint anytime soon just like him."i c-cant" and with that he falls unconscious. I try to speak but am unable to as my vision further starts to get blurry but i notice bright headlights flashing in my eyes causing me to squint my eyes.

I see someone getting out of the car running towards me and then

Black out....

Jakes pov

I squint my eyes as the bright lights sting my eyes and i try to fix my blurry vision. Clearing my vision , i look at my surroundings, white walls , an iv drip inserted in my left hand , the hospital bed and i realize im in the hospital.

I try sitting up but instantly lie back down groaning in pain as i feel immense stinging in my left shoulder.

I turn my face to the right and then i see.....
