UNIT 25 [UNTITLED UNIVERSE #1]

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT

Two days had passed since the incident, and a new couple was born.

Neo Dream decided to hang out in their underground house.

The place is full of food, and the lively atmosphere is heated because of the bets during the games.

"Now, look who I saw smiling here." Jaemin said, catching everyone's attention.

All eyes are on Jisung, whose brow is raised, and a phone is in his hand.

"Who is it?" Donghyuck asked.

"Who, who?", Jisung absentmindedly joined

Renjun rolled his eyes and pointed at his phone.

"You never let go of that thing. You never played games with us. You're just sitting there pigging out."

Jisung chuckled and raised his phone.

"My girlfriend"

Now it's the other's turn to raise their brows.

"Let me guess," Jeno scoffed."Naih?"

Jisung gave him slow claps and showed a thumbs up.

"Great guess"

"You serious?" both Renjun and Donghyuck said.

"Mhm, more serious than ever—hey!"

Jaemin ran away with Jisung's phone in his hand.

"I'm just here, love; I'll go home right after." Jaemin read the last message out loud.

"I swear, give that back!"

Chenle snatched the phone, which earned a shout from Jaemin, but he kept on laughing.

"Nice one, Chen."

"I love Chenle more."

Jisung's eyes widened. The others laughed, especially the culprit, Chenle.

Jisung strode on the laughing boy, now wiggling on the floor, and snatched his phone back.

LOVE♥

I love Chenle more.

Funny. I I'll break up with you then.

Hey, Chenle typed that they basically snatched my phone.

Whatever

Hey.. you mad?

No, Ji, you enjoy yourself there.

I love you so much. I promise to go there right after.

I love you more, and be safe.

Jisung smiled and locked his phone, putting it in his pocket.

"Jisung, don't you think it's too risky?" Jeno

"It is, but I'm willing to risk everything."

"How about Naih? Does she want to risk everything?" Chenle

"Yeah, we promised that we'd protect each other at all costs." Jisung proudly answered.

"But Jisung, you do know the consequences, right?" Jaemin asked, which made Jisung's smile fade.

But then he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he smiled again.

"Let's not talk about it. What matters is that I love her so much."

"Gosh, my single self." Donghyuck scoffed, earning laughs.

Jisung is just thankful that his team is slowly accepting the fact that he too has the freedom to love anyone. Even if that someone leads him to his death, he will gladly take it. He'll risk everything.
