Opium
one dark valentine, au. >:)
OPIUM;; PG -13
"I'm not the angel everybody thinks I am. I'm a very bad person."
"That's impossible, Jinki. You are the sweetest person I know."
"I've done something unforgivable."
"Oh, really? Indulge me, then. What's the worst thing you've ever done?"
He leans in, close, lips grazing the tip of her ear and Jessica presses forward, curious to the brim of her wavering heart in the back of the dingy alley.
"I murdered him. I bought a gun and shot him in the head."
"Murdered who?" She asks cautiously, backing away, truth game not that much fun as she thought it would've been.
"It was the only way, I had to. He kept getting in the way of us being together Jessica," her knees buckle and her bones quiver. She tries reading his face for some kind of hoax, some kind of sick prank but he's blank and expressionless and those thick eyebrows don't move a muscle worth of false. "And now we can."
"You're...you're lying. I know you," she barely breathes, catching herself onto the brick wall behind her before she collapses.
"You're right. You do know me. And you know I never lie," his lips curl up, strange and vile as he begins to saunter down the street, hand jiggling in his pocket. "And I'm not lying when I say I murdered him. For us."
"No."
Her heart sinks, her legs tremble on to the ground and she remains motionless, even when he takes his gun out and points it at her from a distance. She looks at him but it's not really him, he would never kill his best friend, not Jinki, not sweet, angelic Jinki, the one who's already seeping lifelessness from his eyes, the one who's turning his gun back at himself instead, straight at his heart.
"I guess then, only for me?" She doesn't answer, can't answer even when she hears the sickening sound of him clicking the bullets round. "I love you Jessica Jung. I really do."
Bang.
Jessica wakes up with a blonde Barbie doll in her left hand, sunlight beaming in from the right. She gets up, stretching her body from a night of relaxation, walking to the front of her room, a draft playing against her bare backside. She looks across the hall, into the little gated window. He's standing behind it, waiting for her, displaying his multiple and gleaming array of teeth.
The most kind of sincere smile one can show.
She smiles back, waving her little doll at him before heading to her medicine cabinet. Three pills for sunrise.
She swallows them all in one take.
"I love you Jinki!" she shouts loud enough for him to hear across the hall.
"I love you too Jessica!"
She giggles, forcing her Barbie doll to salute her, mimicking their interacting words over and over again. She makes a calculated guess as to when the pills have sunken in to her stomach and then beheads her doll, BANG. Straight to the head, just like Jinki killed him.
She smiles again.
