Jungkook pov:

I paced in living room, my eyes fixed on the clock, my mind racing with thoughts of her whereabouts. Where was she? I checked my phone for what felt like the hundredth time, my worry turning to frustration. Just then, the door swung open and she breezed in, a radiant smile on her face.

Aylia- hey!

Jungkook- where were you?

I demanded, my scowl deepening. Her smile faltered as she replied

Aylia- I was at taehyung's place

Jungkook- why you always need to go there

Aylia- why?? Can't I go?? I had some important work

Jungkook- why didn't you told me I could have dropped you there!!

Aylia- jungkook, I-

Jungkook- don't!

Her face fell, but she stepped closer, her voice soft.

Aylia- Jungkook, listen-

She pleaded, but I interrupted again.

Jungkook- no, just stop

I snapped, my voice rising. Her eyes widened, her words dying on her lips. She stood silent, her face pale, as my anger crackled around us. Suddenly, my expression shifted, my eyes burning with intensity. I took a step closer, my voice dropping to a whisper.

Jungkook- do you love me?

I asked, my face inches from hers. Her lips parted, but no words emerged. She stood frozen, her eyes locked on me. My gaze bore into hers, searching for answers.

My breath mingled with hers, the tension between us palpable. Her silence was deafening, but I waited, my heart pounding in anticipation. Her voice barely whispered past her lips.

Aylia- yes, I do... I love you

My eyes flashed with emotion, but instead of joy, my face contorted in anguish. I stepped back, my hands rising as if to ward off her words.

Jungkook- no....no, don't love me

I pleaded, my voice cracking.

Jungkook- you don't know what I am, who I am. I'm a beast, a demon. I'm darkness incarnate.

Her face faltered, her eyes welling up with tears.

Aylia- jungkook, no-

she began, but I cut her off.

Jungkook- you don't understand, I'm cursed devil, butterfly. Forever bound to shadows. You deserve light, happiness. Not me.

Her hands reached out, but I recoiled, my eyes flashing with warning.

Jungkook- don't touch me. You'll burn. You'll burn, and I won't be able to save you

Aylia pov:

I whispered my confession.

Aylia- yes, I do... I love you

His eyes flashed with emotion, but instead of joy, his face twisted in anguish. He stepped back, his hands rising as if to shield himself from my words.

Jungkook- no...no....don't love me

He pleaded, his voice cracking.

Jungkook- you don't know what I am, who I am. I'm a beast, a demon.

His words cut deep, and I felt my heart shatter. He turned and walked away, leaving me shattered and confused. I slumped against the wall, struggling to contain my sobs.

Why did he say that? What did he mean?

Tears streamed down my face as I replayed his words in my mind.

"I'm cursed... forever bound to shadows."

What shadows? What curse?

I thought I knew him, but apparently, I didn't. My mind reeled with questions, but he was gone, leaving me with only my tears and the echoes of his painful words. I sat there, lost and alone, wondering if I'd ever understand the depths of his darkness.

。。。。。

I lay awake, my mind racing with thoughts of Jungkook. The darkness outside seemed to mirror the emptiness within me. Suddenly, I heard the creak of the front door opening. My heart skipped a beat - finally, he's back.

I rushed downstairs, hope propelling me forward. But instead of his familiar figure, two burly men loomed in the entrance. My voice instinctively shouted out,

Aylia- jungkook!

The men's heads swiveled toward me, their eyes cold and calculating. One of them took a step closer.

??- well, well, well, looks like we've got a little welcoming committee

Fear gripped my heart as I backed away.

Aylia- who are you?

The second man chuckled.

??- we're friends of someone you know he said.

His gaze sent shivers down my spine.

Aylia- jungkook!

I shouted again. The men exchanged a knowing glance.

??- don't worry, sweetheart. We'll take care of you

In a sudden,one man came towards me and just as the his grip tightened around my neck, I felt my vision blurring. Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the room. Jungkook stood in the doorway, a gun smoking in his hand.

The other man was dead.

The second intruder still gripped me, his arm tightening around my waist. Jungkook's eyes locked onto mine, a desperate warning flashing in them.

Jungkook- Let her go!

He growled, his gun trained on the man. But the intruder sneered.

??- drop it, or I'll kill her!

Jungkook's face contorted in anguish, but he slowly lowered his gun. The intruder's grip relaxed, and I seized the chance to break free. I dashed away, but Jungkook's movement caught my eye. He was about to shoot. No! I thought, and instinctively rushed back, throwing myself between Jungkook and the intruder.

A loud bang echoed through the room. I felt a searing pain in my hand as a bullet pierced my flesh. Blood gushed out, and I cried out. Jungkook's face went white.

Jungkook- butterfly!!!!

He shouted, rushing toward me. The intruder took advantage of the distraction to flee, disappearing into the night. Jungkook scooped me up, cradling my injured hand.

Jungkook- why did you do that?

Aylia- i.....i can't....see you hurt....

Jungkook definitely loves her, but he is afraid what to do exactly, he is confused.....
