Her mess and her burden.

After a few minutes, Jessica rushed into the room with rolls of bandages, moisturizer, needle, and thread to stitch his newer wounds.

Gazing down at the woman carefully stitching his wounds, Ken gently tucked her unruly honey brown-hairs behind her ear as he slid his big left arm onto her nape while his thumb caressed her cheeks which seemed to irritate Jessica, who glared at him from the corner of her eyes and turned to bite his thumb while he chuckled softly at her aesthetics.

After mummifying his torso was done, she glared at him with a cute pout as she sat on his laps.

"Food?" Jessica asked.

"Food." Ken nodded in response and watched as she walked out of the room, downstairs, to cook him a light meal.

With a deep sigh, Ken stood up and opened the drawer next to the chair he had sat on and took out the revolver placed inside.

TRRRR.....

After checking it had all six bullets, Ken held it and walked out of the room, downstairs.

He sat on the dinning table's chair after arriving at the kitchen and gazed at Jessica's back as she plated light meal for two. He placed the revolver in the middle of the dinning table as his gaze continued to stay on Jessica's small back.

"I guess I start with a thank you. Jessica, my childhood friend and my saviour, who saved me on "that day," the day you decided I'm your mess, the same mess you're dealing with till date. I am extremely thankful." Ken muttered words as if they were heartfelt, but his words were quite, no, completely bland, plain and emotionless even.

"You asked me out on date after we were able to understand each other without speaking much, making me experience an ideal and extremely romantic relationship which a few could only fantasize. I thank you for that too."

"Now...."

".... Jessica, girlfriend of the stylish assassin, who had never bothered to hide his face on the crime scenes, but were rather handled by the government, who didn't want to let out any information on their wildcard, without any actual choice."

The more Ken continued with his words, the more Jessica knew that he knew.

"Jessica, the only love and weakness of the stylish assassin, and agent light, appointed by the government so that they can hunt down their best assassin, wherever they wanted. I guess they knowingly offered you to watch over me, and gave you the moniker of the "light." Light to drive out the..."

Ken opened his arms wide while gazing straight into Jessica's trembling gaze, and "Darkness" He stated, ceremoniously announcing himself as the darkness.

"K-Ken.... I can explain." Jessica muttered as she placed the plates on the dinning table with her head down, trembling.

"I'm sure you do. But, instead...."

"Let's do this, my way~" Ken said and gazed at Jessica collapse on the chair in front of him.

"1: Since when, and 2: why? That's it, you answer my questions and I'll let you complete your mission." Ken stated.

[Synchronising.....96%]

After a few minutes, Jessica wiped off her tears and raised her head to face Ken, who still had an expressionless face.

"..... Two years ago, after you completed your 100th mission successfully. Since you never hid your face or identity, they didn't have a hard time finding me, who knew everything about you. They offered me money and protection for as long as I lived if I successfully killed you, and they asked me to kill you today as you had stopped following the orders given to you....." Jessica explained.

[Synchronising.....97%]

"So..... It was for money? Understandabl-"

"No!!! Look at you!! I asked them to send us somewhere far away with a new identity!!! I love you for fucks sakes! If I left you alone you would have gotten yourself killed by fuckers, whom I would have been able to do nothing against!!! I love you goddammit!! Do you know how I feel when I sleep next to you!?? Do know how much it hurts me when I feel those scars on you!? Everyday, every fucking day!! You leave me alone in the house!!! And come back riddled with wounds and millions of new scars!! You leave and won't even come back for days!!! Do you know how much it pains me to wait for you without knowing whether you'll come back to me or not!!? You disappear for days, Ken!! I can understand whatever happened to you shouldn't have happened, but it already has!! It's not like only your life has been through a tragedy!! There are millions of those who have been through something worse outside!! You're nothing special nor is your life cursed with absolute isolation!!" Jessica exploded. She let out all her feelings and emotional stress she had accumulated over the years after she started dating Ken.

[Synchronising.....98%]

"I'm sorry....." She apologized for her earlier words but didn't take them back.

"You are my mess and my burden!! Do you know that I have nobody else except for you to talk to, thanks to all the burdening secrets you have filled me with!!" Jessica climbed over the dinning table as she glared down at Ken's eyes while their faces were mere inches apart. With former's tears falling on latter's face.

"You! I want you!! I want you to be with me for however long I live! I want you next to me when I die! I want to see how our children would look, and I want to know what kind of a father you'll be for our children and I want to know what kind of a mother I would be!!! I can do none of those when the man I love is an emotionless retard!!"

"I!! I! I.... Put in all the efforts I could..... I, I love you, Ken... I did the best I could.... I can't...." Jessica exclaimed out loudly at the start, but her words lost their voices as she did her best to find the words to describe her feelings.

[Synchronising.....99%]

CGRING-!

CL....ICK-!

Jessica picked up the revolver on the table placed it beneath her throat, aiming up at her brain.

"..... I can't do this anymore...." Jessica muttered as tears streamed out her eyes which gazed at Ken's which remained as emotionless as ever.

"I love you, Ken."

BANG-!

THUD-!

Her lifeless body slumped on the dinning table, with her hand cooked meal plates buried beneath her lifeless body.

"Well, they choose "you" to kill "me" for a reason, my love. You are my love, my weakness, and," Ken muttered as his already lifeless eyes turned darker as he gazed at Jessica's lifeless but open eyes.

"You are the only reason for my existence."
