JEON

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Dan growls, gun pressing harder onto her temple-

"I...TOLD-YOU DAN-" John groans, clutching his bleeding arm.

Silence.

She trembles, tears streak down her face.Lucas clutched desperately to her chest, she cradle her bump- shaking against the cold wall. The swell of my child protected beneath her palm.

Yes, Hold my blood like that.

Exactly like that.

Because no one else gets to touch them. No one else gets to take them from me.

My jaw tightens— her breath hitches, fingers dig into Lucas's back like she's trying to fuse him to her.

She still doesn't understand.

I want her here.I want to finish this war with her.

That's why you're here, little lawyer.That's why you walked out of those gates.That's why I let them take you.Because you needed to see, needed to feel, who's your husband. what happens when you try to leave him.What happens when you forget who owns you.

Her lips part–-no sound comes out.Except Disbelief.

Betrayal.

Fear.

All of it flickers across her face.

You should know by now-nothing escapes me when it's mine.

And you, my love?

You're my life.

"ANSWER ME, BITCH-" Dan shakes her- "WHY DID YOU BETRAY US?!"

She whimpers-eyes locked on mine.Waiting?

Begging?

For me to save her?

For me to fix this?For me to be the monster she ran from? Why? It's too late to realize that the real horror is the world without me.

But no.She's not.I take a step forward.Her breath catches.Dan's grip tightens, gun trembling against her skin.

"FINISH HER, DAN" John spits through clenched teeth, writhing on floor. "FUCK...PULL THE TRIGGER—"

Dan glares at me—-chest heaving, finger twitching on the trigger. The barrel digs deeper into her temple.

"FINISH HER!"

Dan grits–-presses the gun harder-

She closes her eyes.She fucking closes her eyes?

Waiting. Accepting. Ready to die.

You want death?

"Tell her to sign over Seoul. Now" Dan growls-  "Or I paint the wall with her brains."

Tears streak down closed eyes.Lucas pats her cheek weakly, confused, but she doesn't move. Doesn't flinch. Doesn't even look at him.

Like death is easier than facing me.

Like leaving our son is better than staying as my wife.

My hands shake.

"F-inish...finish her, Dan," John groans "Fuck...pull the trigger."

Dan's finger twitches. She doesn't flinch. Doesn't beg.

You'd rather bleed out than come home?

"TELL HER, JEON–" Dan grinds the gun into her temple, "TELL HER TO SIGN SEOUL OVER, NOW"

Silence.

Tears slip down her chin.Lips sealed. Lucas pats her cheek, whining but she doesn't move. Doesn't look.

Just waits.For the bullet.For the end.For anything but me.

My jaw clenches. "Its. All . Her"

Her breath hitches, eyes still shut.

You wanted death?- Too bad, love.

I'll decide when you die.

Dan hesitates.He should.

Because no bullet gets to touch her before I do.

"TELL HER— OR—OR I WOULD PULL THE TRIGGER-–"

"BLOODY HELL DAN—PULL THE DAMN TRIGGER—"

Dan's face contorts, the gun tremble.She doesn't move-Doesn't look.Breath heavy.Waiting.

"TELL HER TO GIVE US THE PAPERS -"

"FUCK SHOOT HER— SHOOT HER—"

"TELL HER JEON-– TELL HER-"
