“At the end of the day, I'll always come back to you.”

(Your POV)

"Jaehyun are you avoiding me!?" I bursted out at last with tears pricking at the corner of my eyes. He wasn't talking to me properly at all since the past few days and it was honestly scaring me. I wasn't used to this behaviour of his. I tried talking to him, I tried to invite him over, or go out on dates but he always had some excuse or the other ready to fire at me. Either he was too tired or he was feeling sick, or he was busy. We had hardly even talked over texts! This thing was getting to me pretty bad. "A-Are you tired of me already?" I blurted out fearing the worst. There was no other logic as to why he was acting this way.

As soon as I said this, I noticed Jaehyun's eyes widening in front of me as he was horrified just by the idea of it. He frantically shook his head as he held my shoulders gently. "No... No baby, I'd never..." he spoke out, his eyebrows knitting at my words.

"Then why...? Why are you doing this?" I asked shrugging his hands away and off me. I hung my head low as I shook it. "I don't understand... Did I do something wrong?" I asked and looked up at him.

Jaehyun's eyes softened and he bit his upper lip with concern lingering in his eyes. "No that's not it... I'm not ignoring you..." he muttered but that really did not come out confidently. It looked like he was hiding something. As if he was not only lying to me, but also lying to himself.

"Oh yeah? Bullshit! Fine then. Go ahead and do whatever the fuck you want. I'm going. It's over." I cried out angrily, with tears spilling down from my eyes as my vision got blurred by it. I turned around to leave but a strong pair of arms just engulfed me into a back hug, trapping me in its cage. No matter how hard I tried to get myself free from it, it was useless. "Let go Jaehyun-ah!" I exclaimed trying to break free but he just buried his head in the crook of my neck and shook his head. "P-Please no... I'm s-scared of losing you..." he whispered and I felt something wet on my skin.

Was he crying...?

"Don't leave me please..." he pleaded in the same way, pulling me more towards him. I frowned and turned around to cup his face and had a look at him. "What's wrong Jaehyun? Why can't you tell me what's wrong? Please... I can help you... We can fight this together." I said comfortingly trying to soothe him.  The sight of his tears and sad face broke me.

"Y/N I... You can't help me. I'm scared you'll leave me after I tell you." he croaked out tearing his eyes away from me and pursed his lips as if in great pain and despair.

I raised an eyebrow and frowned right after. What is it that he can't tell me? Why will I ever leave him? He has been perfect to me ever since the day he came into my life. "Try me." I said confidently, which made him directly look into my eyes right after.

"Are you sure?" he asked so intimidatingly that I could feel goosebumps on my skin. His eyes looked really worried as if he was going to tell me something really dangerous. "Yes I am. I will always love you." I confessed truthfully and nodded my head.

"I killed your parents." was all he said. Everything at that moment, suddenly just went bland and eerily quite. Those four words slipped out of his tongue smoothly but with a kind of hesitation tied to it. I blinked once or twice to see if he was joking or not. If he was, and he has to, then I hated it. He knew I was always sensitive about talking about them. Yet, he chose to make such a filthy joke.

"If you're joking then take it back right now. I hate it." I admit angrily as my fists ball up and I clench my jaws, and look away.

"I'm not." he said still staring at me as if he was stating into my soul. It was beginning to irritate me. "Everything I told you was a lie. Everything except my name and my feelings for you. I am a secret agent of Seoul Intelligence and I have to always hide my identity just in case. I was assigned to kill your parents because—" I didn't let him finish his sentence. I felt no need to. I straight away slapped him.

"You murderer!" I bellowed furiously.

"Hear me out Y/N! I'm not a bad person!" he tried to reason with me but I just chuckled sarcastically and shook my head.

"I never knew murders can be good person." I said. My heart felt like it was burning in flames. How dare he hide it from me? He was the killer of my parents and I fell for him? "You disgust me!" I exclaim and turn around in my heels to leave when he holds my hand.

"You promised... At least hear me out." he said, tightly holding my hand. My first instinct was to slap his hand away and just walk away from him and crying to sleep in my bedroom, but something in me held me back from it. "What else is there to explain?" I asked turning around to face him, his eyes looking like a lost puppy's.

"A lot." he said and that is how he told me the entire reason. The entire story. I knew their profession. I also knew my uncle was bad. I never liked him for the same reason. What he told showed me reason, it was for national security. I could understand but I still felt a knot in my heart. If my parents would have been good, none of this would have happened...

He even showed me his ID card for proof and let me video call a colleague of his. It was all true. He was desperately begging me to stay. I didn't know how to tell him or what to tell him as a matter of fact so I just told him that i needed some time to think about it.

I really did think about it a lot. I weighed all the pros and cons and finally made up my mind.

"I am here to give you my answer."I told him one evening after knocking at his door.

"Why don't you come in first?" he said calmly even though his actions were rather nervous as he bit his lip and let me in.

After a while I finally told him. "I love you too much to let you go. I'll always come back to you anyway. They were bad and I always knew that. So I'll stay. I love you." I said getting a bit emotional and I swear I saw a smile on relief and surprise in his face as he engulfed me in a long hug and I hugged him back.

"I love you so much." he said and I nodded with a soft smile. "I love you too." I said.

"There's something else..." he said parting from the hug and looking concerned again.

"Now what?" I asked.

"I need to execute your uncle because..." he trailed off but I was quick now.

"Kill him. I don't care. I hate him for what he does anyway. And also, I despise him. He really is a bad man, for your information, he also secretly smuggled girls so it'll be a relief if you do kill him." I say and he really look surprised and only thing he could say was. "Wow."

I giggled and winked. "What? Didn't expect it?" to which he just chuckled and shook his head and hugged me again scooping me into a sweet kiss.

A/N : First, do y'all think the updated version of Wattpad feels a bit weird? Second, I'm sorry for not updating more often because even if I am doing nothing, it's true, I'm tired without doing anything. Sorry, not sorry lol. But don't hate on me or curse me in your head for it hehe
Thirdly, I hope you didn't think this imagine was shitty. I tried okay? 😅😅
