Getting Closer To "us" [Ateez Yeosang]

~20~

(Jongho's Pov)

"Hi (Y/n)!" I smiled as I approached (Y/n) and some guy.
"Oh hey, Jongie! Meet Han Hyunwoo. Hyunwoo,this is Choi Jongho," (Y/n) said with a smile.

"Hi, nice to meet you, Jongho," the guy called Hyunwoo said friendly. "Same to you!"

We were talking for a bit but he soon had to go search his wife. "Who is he?" I asked in a casual tone.

"He's the brother of my best friend. I haven't seen him in ages," (Y/n) replied.

"By the way, have you seen Sangie by any chance?"
"Yeah, he's with Jihyeon somewhere near the drinks," I answered.

(Y/n)'s eyes widened. "Oh no, that's not good. Not good at all," she hummed. "Thanks, Jongie but I have to look for Sangie real quick. Sorry and thanks!"

(Y/n) quickly disappeared into the crowd of people. I followed her with a little distance.

I spotted her walking towards Jihyeon and Yeosang. Jihyeon was about to give Yeosang a glass with normal looking liquid but (Y/n) stepped in and grabbed the glass.

"Please excuse me," (Y/n) said with a fake smile and drank the whole glass at once.

"I-what the fuck are you doing, (Y/n)?" Yeosang asked with anger in his voice I haven't heard with him before.

Even I was pretty surprised because we all know Yeosang as the cute, shy, reserved and innocent boy.

Yeosang rolled his eyes and walked away. Jihyeon look at (Y/n) with an annoyed expression.

But suddenly an evil smirk spread on Jihyeon's face.
"Oh honey, you just made a huge mistake," Jihyeon grinned triumphantly before walking off to follow Yeosang.

"(Y/n)? What did you just do?" I asked carefully as (Y/n) came over to me, her eyes still fixed on Jihyeon.

(Y/n)'s eyes were filled with hatred and she looked like she could kill Jihyeon anytime now.

"That nasty bitch," (Y/n) murmered through gritted teeth and with clenched fists.

"(Y/n), what the actual fuck is going on with you? At first you distance yourself from everyone and now you're stealing Yeosang's drink? Like what's going on?"

(Y/n) sighed and looked straight into my eyes. "Please don't tell the others, okay?" (Y/n) sighed and I nodded.

"The thing is, I've been getting lots of threats lately. I know it's normal but I've gotten like tons! They're not  about me like usual. They're about you all and mostly about Sangie. I didn't want to risk anything so I couldn't get closer to y'all. Sorry," (Y/n) explained while lowering her head.

"Don't apologize, I understand you. I'm sorry we could've help you and you had to suffer alone and- Are you okay?"

I stopped talking as I noticed that (Y/n) was getting a little pale. "D-don't worry, I-I'm alright, r-really," (Y/n) stuttered weakly while coughing.

"I-I'm okay, I j-just-," (Y/n) abruptly stopped and ran away.
"(Y/n)! Where are you going?!"
