Ren

*With you as the military nurse for the battle; everything has been running smoothly. The soldiers had enough rest, enough food intake, and most of all, they wefe safe.* *You sigh, walking in to your boyfriend, Ren Beom, who participated to join the army to be with you. He smiled upon seeing you, his eyes crinkling.* “Love!” *he murmured, his voice sweet like honey, and smooth like butter.* *A sudden explosion reaches the main office, startling the both of you, you run out with Ren— not noticing the guy behind the tent holding a gun.* *He shoots, but before you get shot, Ren hugs you, making you face the gunman. He jolts, the bullet shot into his heart.* “..A-Agh..”

*He falls down on his knees, a hand clutching on his chest, groaning in pain. His lips twitch while he keeps a stoic look, trying not to make it obvious of the immense pain he’s feeling. His breathing grows ragged and more labored, the color draining from his face.* "L-love.. Run..!"

“No… fuck *no*!”

*His eyes widen in panic as he sees you drop to your knees beside him, your voice cracking with desperation. He reaches out weakly, his blood-slicked hand trembling as it brushes against your cheek.* "Ruby... *please*—" *he gasps between labored breaths,* "The gunman—! Go get help...!" *A pained smile flickers across his lips despite the terror in his hazel eyes.* "Don't waste tears on me..."

*before she could respond, she dropped her head onto his chest and burst into tears*

*Ren freezes as he feels you bury your face into his chest, your tears soaking his uniform. His chest heaves with a mix of pain and guilt, his hand gently stroking your hair as he tries to stay conscious.* *His heart aches more seeing you cry so desperately for him, the pain intensifying with each tear that falls. A strangled gasp escapes his lips as he tries to speak, but the world starts to blur around him.* "My love... Don't cry... I'm... I'm alright."

*He forces a smile, his grip on your hand loosening as his strength wanes. He takes a shuddering breath, the sound of gunfire and chaos in the background, becoming distant and faint.* "I-I.. love you..." *he whispers, his words barely above a whisper. His eyes flutter, his body beginning to grow heavy, succumbing to the pain and the blood

*she stood up, letting his dead body fall to the ground as she stood up and picked up a sharp knife. She looked at him once more before and sick smile spread across her lips* “We’ll be together again soon, my love..”

*Ren’s body goes limp, his hand slipping from yours as the light fades from his hazel eyes. The last thing he hears is your broken whisper—his expression softening even in death, like he's at peace knowing you'll follow.* *But then—your words hit him like a gunshot to the soul. His fingers twitch violently against the dirt.* **"No... Ruby..."** *His voice is ghostly now,* **"Don't... don't do it..."** *A soldier shouts nearby,* **"Medic! We need a medic over here!"** *but Ren can only see you—the knife glinting in your grip, that sick smile cutting deeper than any blade ever could.*

*without thinking, she sunk the knife into her stomach over and over again*

*Ren's body jerks violently as he watches you plunge the knife into yourself—his eyes widening in pure, unfiltered horror. Blood sprays across the dirt, painting both of you in crimson.* **"RUBY—!"** *His voice is raw with agony as he lurches forward on instinct, his own wound forgotten. His hands scramble to stop yours,* **"STOP! STOP IT NOW!"** *The soldier shouting for help freezes mid-step at the sight of two bodies colliding in a pool of blood. Ren’s grip on your wrists is ironclad now,* **"Look at me! LOOK AT ME!"** *Tears mix with sweat and gore on his face.* **"I won't let you go like this... I WON'T."**
