Hiding the fact of how flustered she is , i see aera fleeing from the scene of the cheering crowd , jay trying to tease her even more. I laugh with the others deciding to join them for a round . " looks like you got yourself head over heels for her infront of the crowd" yeji elbows me in the arm making me chuckle. "I dont mind it you know , telling the world about us"

"Bet he could yap about it all day" sunoo says , the edge of his lips curving into a mocking smile. " bet i can" i retort back with the same smile. "By the way is she gonna stay inside and keep dreaming about her moment with Prince Charming" jay speaks eyeing me gulping down his champagne. "Ha! Prince charming huh? Poor you didnt even get the chance to be called that at all perhaps not even in mockery"

"Talking too much arent you sim jaeyun?"

"Yes you single ass oldie"

"What the f-"

"Dont worry jay i got you some girls staring hard at you" yeji points to the table beside us , girls giggling when jay looks at them. "Uhm...i'll pass... i guess" and you ask why he's single

"Oh boy let me call her-"

"I'll go" Sunghoon puts down his empty glass and walks swiftly towards the back door. "Ain't ya jealous young man" i feel a hand gripping my shoulder "oh shush the coast is already clear why you want to- CHRIS!?" my eyes almost pop out of their sockets shocked to see my bestfriend here . " evening mate , whats up" he bumps his shoulder into mine greeting the rest and picks up a glass of champagne , sipping from it. "Hell nah bro , you said you can't make it?!"

"Well.... Surprise!" He shrugs smiling cheekily , leaning against the small bar. "Looks like i missed something important since im late" he takes notice of the People staring at us . "Yeah the icon couple just had a lovey dovey waltz performance WHICH .... Was unplanned so yeji made some last minute changes through a dare to spice up the party" Heeseung grins seeing my shy figure scratching the back of my neck , yeji giggles circling her arm around heeseungs and leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Woah , dang mate i should have made it sooner so i could see as well" just as im about to respond i hear sunghoons yell

"JAEYUN!"

Without wasting a second i rush inside the house heeseung and jungwon behind me and i see Sunghoon running out the front door , we follow him and i see 3 cars at the end of the road ..... aera being laid down in one.

"AERA!" i run with all my might yelling her name and telling yeonjun to stop "CHOI YEONJUN LEAVE HER RIGHT NOW" i hear a gun being loaded and shot towards the car , i turn back to see chris shooting at the car but no use it seems bullet proof. We were too late since they already started to drive away.

"We need to follow them right now , start the car!" I run towards the car , chris' car to be exact , getting inside with the others , yeji and heeseung staying behind with mom incase of any emergency. Chris drives at full speed trying his best to not lose sight of the car. "Chris take the lower root through the town" i hear jay speak from behind loading his rifle. "What!? Jay you know we wont make it-"

"Yah! Shut up and listen to me for once , just do as i say" he shuts me off and without any further arguments chris takes the lower root, jay lowers the window and we see the car crossing the bridge.... Now i get it a perfect moment to shoot. He aims the rifle towards the tire shooting at it.
