This Bond Of Love || Lee Heeseung

🌸Fractured Fury

[ CW : Long Chapter Ahead ]

◤──•~❉᯽❉~•──◥

I feel like I'm drowning in my own anger, suffocating under the weight of my own rage. I'm trapped in this never-ending cycle of pain and fury, and I don't know how to escape. All I can do is lash out, scream, shout, try to make someone, anyone, listen. But no one can hear me, no one can understand. I'm alone in this, alone with my anger, my rage, my fury.

The morning sun cast a dull, lifeless glow over the condo, a stark contrast to the usual warmth and vibrancy that filled the space. Nina woke up to an empty bed, Heeseung's absence a palpable void. Rowoon's cries pierced the air, demanding attention, and Nina hastily tended to his needs, momentarily distracting her from the unease that was growing inside her. As she freshened up, her mind began to wander, wondering where Heeseung could be. The silence was oppressive, and the stillness of the condo seemed to suffocate her.

As the afternoon wore on, Nina's anxiety reached a boiling point. She busied herself packing her belongings, her mind racing with thoughts of Heeseung's whereabouts. The sound of the door creaking open was a welcome relief, but the sight of Heeseung's emotionless face sent a shiver down her spine. His eyes seemed to bore into her soul, and Nina's heart skipped a beat as she rushed towards him.

The questions tumbled out of her mouth in a rush, her hands cradling his face as she searched for answers. "Where were you, Hee?" "I was so worried, you went without telling me again. At least leave a note when you leave..." "Did you eat something this morning?" "Do you want me to make something for you?" Heeseung's grip on his emotions was tenuous at best, and Nina's concerns threatened to unravel the fragile thread that held him together.

He shook his head, his voice barely above a whisper as he hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, I went to meet my parents for something work-related. I forgot to tell you as I thought I would be back before you knew, but that didn't happen..." Nina's response was soft and soothing, her words a gentle balm to his frazzled nerves. "It's okay, love. Just come back every time and don't leave me hanging, hmm?"

But beneath the surface, a storm was brewing. Heeseung's words were laced with a desperation, a sense of being trapped in a cycle of pain and fury that he couldn't escape. The weight of his anger and rage threatened to consume him, and Nina's gentle touch only served to heighten his sense of isolation. As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, the silence between them was a ticking time bomb, waiting to unleash a maelstrom of emotions that would change the course of their relationship forever.

As the night descended, casting a somber shadow over the railway station, Heeseung's anxiety reached a fever pitch. He had been dreading this moment for what felt like an eternity, and now it was finally here. The time had come to bid farewell to Nina, but not just that – it was the moment he had chosen to end their relationship. The weight of his decision threatened to crush him, and he couldn't bear the thought of facing Nina's tears and questions.
