"Isn't it such a beautiful day?" You asked Ryujin with a bright smile on your face. "The sun is shining, I get to spend the whole day with my favorite girl, and I'm happy."

"I can see that, baby," She smiled as she held your hand. "I'm happy that you're enjoying the day. What do you say we go grab some lunch?"

"I'd love that!"

"Me too." She said and began to look around to see what kind of restaurants were around.

But suddenly, screams were heard from across the street and you both turned your heads to see fans that recognized your girlfriend hurrying over to you both.

"Slight change in plans." She said.

"That's alright. We've got time. It's okay to spend a few minutes with them." You said with a reassuring smile and her eyes lit up at the thought of meeting her fans for a few.

But not everything was going to be so perfect about meeting these particular fans.

There was a weird one lurking in the background.

One girl that has been obsessing over your girlfriend for quite some time.

She sends her message after message and posts about her love and admiration for her every single day and has for months now.

She's gotten nowhere and she's angry, to say the least.

Of course, none of that was Ryujin's fault.

She's not in charge of her social media and she can't respond to every single fan.

No rational person would blame her.

But this person was too angry to just sit back and rationalize anything.

She wanted Ryujin to notice her.

She wanted Ryujin in general, longing for her to be hers.

"I'd be happy to take a picture with you!" Ryujin told a fan that asked her for a photo.

You watched with a flutter in your heart as Ryujin enjoyed every second of meeting the fans that adore her so much.

It makes you so happy seeing how loved and cared for your girlfriend is, because she deserves it all.

However, when you saw that girl, your heart dropped.

You knew there was something off about her and that feeling only grew when you saw her reach into her pocket.

"No!" You yelled out as she pulled out the weapon, aiming it right toward your girl.

And at that moment, you didn't think twice.

You ran over to Ryujin and stepped in front of her before the loud pop went off and a wave of intense pain hit you.

"Y/N!" Ryujin yelled in a panic as the girl ran off. "Someone please call for help!" She begged through her tears as she carefully laid you down on the ground.

"Are you okay?" You asked her and she sniffled as a frown appeared on her face.

"Me? Y/N, baby, you were just shot!"

"But you weren't? She was going to hurt you." You explained as the air began to leave your lungs and breathing became difficult.

"No." She sniffled again. "I'm okay. But why would you do that? Why would you step in front of me?"

You felt so weak.

Your eyes were becoming heavy, your vision was getting blurry, and Ryujin's beautiful face was fading out.

"Because I didn't want you to get hurt." You said.

"You saved me." Ryujin cried as she squeezed your hand tightly. "Squeeze my hand, baby. Hold it tight. Please."

But you couldn't.

You were fading fast.

And it was starting to be too much to fight.

So you began to give in by closing your eyes and despite Ryujin's pleas and someone telling her that help was just around the corner, you passed out.

Ryujin sobbed, hoping that help would get there in time and you'd be okay.

Because she couldn't handle losing you; not like this and not now.

She just hoped you'd hang in there, for her.
