Y/N's POV

Staring at him in shock and breathing heavily from running around, I just stare at him in disbelief, not being able to wipe what I have just witnessed right in front of me.

"I-Is t-this what everyone's b-been trying to t-tell me?" I mumbled to him, still feeling scared in case he does anything...with that hammer...?

I think that's what it looks like.

"W-What?" Jake stuttered out while stepping forward to me with an expression of confusion, while I continue to step back, suddenly not wanting him anywhere near me.

"I-I said..." I started to say while feeling my throat feel tight; it's like as if I couldn't breathe, it was like I was trapped in an enclosed space with nowhere to go as I continued to stare at him, once my beloved, not even sure if I will ever see him the same way I ever did before.

And then I felt my vision start to get blurry, not from the previous events from being blacked out, but this time it was tears.

Tears of betrayal.

Tears of disarray.

Tears of heartbreak.

I couldn't get over the fact that Jake- no- Jaeyun. I couldn't get over the fact that he killed someone.

The man that I loved so much.

The man that cared for me all these years.

The man that was with me all these years and never gave up on me.

The man I trusted so much I didn't even trust anyone else but him.

But.

He killed a person.

Why did he keep this secret from me?

Just why?

I don't think I can ever forgive him for it.

"What are you trying to say Y/N...?" Jake says, still walking towards me.

Without even thinking straight, I quickly grabbed a plank of wood that's chipped sharp at the top that was used in the previous fight and shakily points it at him, feeling streams of tears run down my face.

"S-Stay back!" I cried, trying hard to keep my voice stable. "Don't you even think about coming closer to me!"

"Y/N please! Just hear me out! Why won't you listen to me?!" Jake said to me frustrated, throwing the object that he used on the ground which let out a loud thud which caused me to flinch and continue to hold the plank in front of me for protection. 

"Because you're a murderer! T-That's what everyone was trying to hint o-out to me! It all makes sense! All those sudden disappearances, those wounds on your hands you kept coming home with all bloodied and cut! What did you think of me as?! An idiot who's oblivious to everything you've done?! I had a doubt that there was something mysterious about you, but I always pushed that to the back of my mind! But I was wrong, and you p-proved that today!" I yelled at him, just wanting to get away from here and pretend that this was just an illusion.

"Stop it! Just stop!" Jake yelled at me in frustration, his voice cracking while he heaved heavily, running his bloodied hand through his hair.
