The veil of lies

"You think you can just walk away, Yura?" Jungkook's voice was low, dangerous, laced with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine. Yura took a step back, feeling the cold wall press against her. His gaze burned into hers, a mixture of love and something darker-something that made her heart race for all the wrong reasons.

"I'm not walking away," she whispered, trying to steady her voice. "I'm saving myself."

Jungkook's lips twisted into a bitter smile. "From me? I'd never hurt you. Everything I do, I do because I love you."

But that wasn't true, was it? Love wasn't supposed to feel like this-like she was caught in a storm, swept up by his passion, trapped by his obsession. Love wasn't supposed to make her feel like she was slowly losing herself.

"Then why does it feel like I'm drowning?" Yura's voice cracked.

Jungkook leaned in, his breath warm against her ear. "Because some loves," he murmured, "are too deep to escape."
