Secrets Aren't Lies

Chapter 27

Ken P.O.V

"No!" My voice cracks from the intense shout that erupted from my throat.

"We're even." Ravi affirms, with the grudge of his father. His voice grumbles with his vengeful intentions. I didn't even have a chance to shield her with my own body. Her warm blood splatters onto my face with no warning, she becomes so lifeless so fast. My eyes grow wide with grief, letting out a strong wail as I catch her limp body with my one arm. My other arm reaches into my pants, whipping out my gun as my feet expeditiously turn my body around. In high gear, my mind goes completely blank as my heart dwells with malice. My hand aims perfectly for Ravi's heart and I pull the trigger four times with a vindictive scream, letting the venomous bullets pierce his evil flesh with no hesitation, effortlessly.

Ravi's blood sprays out of his body, painting the walls. The guns drop to the floor out of his hands. His right hand covers the wounds and he stumbles backwards against the wall. The blood oozes all over his hand and he looks down and then back up at me as I watch him slowly die. His body slides down to the ground, dying with his eyelids open. I fall to my knees, left in despair as I embrace Jiyeon in my arms still, clutching her body tightly. I bawl as all of my tears fall onto her motionless face, my fingers brush her eyes closed, sobbing hysterically.

My heart sinks to the bottom of my stomach, feeling like it just got punctured with one thousand nails, my chest tightens. I have a mental meltdown, feeling miserable and tripping with guilt. Everything just happened so fast. I cry out with a hoarse voice, unable to control my anger for letting her die. I officially hate myself even more now, if that was even possible. I can't stand to look at her immobile body, the pain grasps and squeezes my heart. My gut twists in multiple knots, beginning to feel sick. I glance away, screwing my eyes shut in complete agony.

I look over at Ravi's lifeless bloody body, loathing even his dead body. I can't even feel good that he's dead because I lost the most important person to me. I can't believe it's all over, but this way is the worse way I could've imagined. It's all my fault! If I just would've left her alone until I got Ravi, she still would've been alive! I got impatient.

"Fuck! Jiyeon!" I screech in anguish. "I'm sorry. I broke my promise to you and I couldn't keep you protected. I'm sorry! I'm a fucking idiot." I glimpse down at her, tears flooding my eyes, my voice ruffles with sorrow. Her blood is just pouring down her face, onto her clothes and into her hair.

I'm at a loss for everything. I feel so disrespectful for what I'm thinking, but I literally have no other choice. I can't get caught for killing Ravi and if I go to the police about Jiyeon's body then they'll think I did it. I'm fucked for anything I do. I lay her down gently and I wipe the tears from my face, trying to get ahold of myself. I get up, going over to the closet in the next room grabbing a shovel.

"I'm so sorry, my love." I lift her back up into my arms and I head outside, noticing that it's raining now. I groan louder, irritated that I even have to do this in the rain. I quickly go to the back where there is grass and I lay her down very softly. I take off my jacket and wrap it around her body to keep her a little dry.

The water immediately drenches my body as I begin digging a hole for her under some weeping willow trees, whimpering as I do so and grunting with each lift of the heavy wet dirt. Thankfully the rain makes the dirt softer, but I shouldn't even be doing this! I should be back home in bed with her. The tears return, mixing with the rain water. Around ten minutes later, I get the hole deep enough. I envelope her in my arms one last time, never wanting to let her go. "I love you. You are truly a real angel now and I hope you are with your family." I breathe against her cold skin and look up into the sky, the raindrops pelting my flesh.
