Please, Zoe, don't leave me like this. Please step over here, and let's talk. Please, just listen to me," he cried, desperation lacing his words.

N...No," she sobbed, her voice choked with despair as if a heavy weight had lodged itself in her throat.

"It's too late now.

Zoe, I'm begging you—please put the weapon down! Another voice echoed from the other side, filled with desperation and sorrow. 

It was a plea, a cry for mercy, utterly helpless and filled with fear.

I just can't do this anymore. It feels like I'm breaking inside. Maybe I'm not strong enough to handle everything that's happening.

Tears streamed down her face as she gripped the gun, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

We can make it all right, I promise!" he begged, taking a hesitant step closer.

N..No! Stay back!" she cried out, her voice trembling with fear. - "If you come any closer, I'll pull the trigger!"

Zoe, I beg you! My heart can't bear this pain; I need you more than anything. Without you, I will die. Tears streamed down his face as he clasped his hands together, desperately seeking for her forgiveness

I can't let this continue! You have to promise me that you'll choose life and let others find their own peace. It's time to put an end to this endless cycle of pain and conflict.

Zoe, please... I can't bear this," he sobbed, his voice quaking with desperation. "I...I l..love you. Please, Don't do this to me," he implored, his body shaking as the weight of his fear pressed down on him.

She brought the weapon closer, her hands shaking uncontrollably as the tremors coursed through her body.

In a voice thick with desperation, she whispered, "I... I love you too, but you'll never see it. This love is suffocating us all, dragging everyone into a hell we can't escape.

With a gentle sigh, she looked at him, her voice barely above a whisper, "Promise me this last time that you'll become the person I know you can be." The ache in her heart was palpable, a longing for a future that felt just out of reach.

Her smile was laced with sorrow, and as she shut her eyes, the sound of the click echoed in the silence.

"BANG!"

Zoe!!!!! Both Screamed...

Z...Z.O!
Zoe!!!! He jolted awake; his screams echoed in the silence, and his forehead was slick with sweat.

Why can't I escape that damn dream?" he thought, shaking his head as he rose from the bed, tossing the covers aside.

He stepped onto his balcony and took a deep breath.
A year has gone by, but those memories still remain, he whispered quietly.

He grabbed his phone and answered it, listening to his manager's voice coming from the other end.

Good morning, you charming guy! Did you have a good night's sleep?" Nicky inquired politely.

Jungkook sighed and greeted Nicky with a warm "Good morning! Is everything alright?
