SHADOWS OF DESIRE|JK FF| S1

CH-62: AND IT ENDED.

"Promises are the sweetest lies, wrapped in hope but laced with betrayal."

Y/N's POV

I laid on the cold floor of my mansion, staring up at the ceiling, feeling nothing but the crushing weight of betrayal. My mascara stained my cheeks, smudged by the endless stream of tears. My body felt numb, but the pain—oh, the pain was all-consuming.

Jungkook... my Jungkook. The one I loved with every fiber of my being. I thought he loved me too. No, I knew he did. Or at least... I thought I did.

But those 2-4 weeks... was it really that easy for him to forget me? To forget us?

I closed my eyes, and the image flashed before me again. Him. On the couch. Her on top of him, their bodies tangled together like some twisted joke. My heart ached, my chest tight as if the air had been stolen from me. When I was kidnapped, when I was tied up, tortured, all I clung to was him—the hope that Jungkook would come for me. That he would never give up on me. But he didn't. He didn't even try.

I had been foolish. Stupid to believe that he would wait. Stupid to believe that the love we shared could withstand anything. Stupid to think that two years of love, laughter, cuddles, kisses, confessions, and promises meant something. They were everything to me. But to him?

Maybe Yuna was right after all.

Yuna... her words echoed in my mind like a poison I couldn't shake. She had told me that he would move on. That he didn't love me like I thought he did. That Jungkook was just like everyone else—incapable of true loyalty. I fought her words, clung to the idea that my Jungkook would never betray me like that. But now, I wasn't so sure.

Jungkook. The love of my life.

I trusted him with everything I had. With everything I could never have.

He was my anchor. My safe place. My entire world. Nothing else mattered as long as I had him. I didn't care about the danger. I didn't care about the secrets, the lies, the darkness that came with our lives. I was complete as long as he was with me.

But now? Now, who do I trust? Who do I love?

Because the one person I had believed would never hurt me—the one person I thought would stand by me through anything—had just ripped my heart apart in a way I didn't think was possible.

I hugged my knees to my chest, choking back another sob, but the tears wouldn't stop. My mind was spinning, questioning everything. Every moment. Every kiss. Every promise. Was it all a lie?

I had fought for him. For us. And he... he hadn't even tried.

I had nothing left now. Not him. Not us. Not the love I thought was unbreakable.

Only shattered pieces of a trust that could never be repaired.

Jungkook's POV

I gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white, as I sped down the empty roads, the engine roaring beneath me. The city lights blurred into streaks, but I didn't care. I couldn't see anything past the storm raging inside me. Everything—everything—was breaking me apart, piece by piece.
