everything happened in a flash, and her very first kiss shared with winwin was most probably something that felt more uncomfortable than a kiss should. she felt her emotions crash down on her as winwin encased her arms into his embrace to stop her from struggling.

bare with me hyejin, just wait until he comes closer

her eyes squeezed shut, not reciprocating the kiss he had planted on her. but that wasn't the worse part, it was chenle's expression and demeanour that snapped within a second. no doubt hyejin and winwin looked like a legit couple, but his heart would not stop raging for the everlasting scene in front of him

with one final shove, she escaped, swiping her lips with the back of her hand almost immediately. her eyes bore into winwin's as she stumbled back, knocking into chenle lightly.

keep it together sicheng, he's almost here

winwin got back up, swiping his lips with his thumb and letting chenle basically burn him down with a single glare

"you fucking asshole" he lunged at winwin, but before anything could happen, the man winwin seemed to be waiting for approached them

it was TOP's boss

"sir" winwin bowed, ignoring the flaming chenle who was being pulled back by hyejin

"you two dating?" the boss pointed at winwin and hyejin, chenle basically having to swallow all the flames.

"n-"

"yes" winwin butted in, kicking hyejin lightly on the foot

"what the hell?" she whispered through clenched teeth, where winwin's leant towards her and whispered straight back "TOP's boss, you cant cross date between gangs"

"that's no excuse to kiss me!" she kicked winwin, hard, but he didn't even flinch. chenle scoffed, balling his fingers into a fist before he whipped around before he couldn't retain himself anymore

"chenle-" she wanted to run up to him, but was immediately pulled back by an arm sling across her shoulder

"cooperate or else you'll die"

"but chenle..." she turned her head, watching him

"hyejin" winwin looked her straight in the eye "don't ruin our last hope of survival"

"chenle" she chased him down, where he threw her hand away as soon as her hand met his arm.

"zhong chenle" she almost tripped going down the stairs in attempts to catch up to him. grabbing him by the hand desperately. he didn't listen to a thing, he didn't want to.

"chenle stop being stubborn" she grabbed him by the arm, forcefully spinning him around.

"go find winwin"

"chen fucking le listen to me" her eyes pierced into his, noticing the dark mist swimming in his eyes. she recognised the anger brewing in him, but she also saw the fact that he was doing his best to bottle it for her sake. he had a history with anger, and none of it was positive

"calm down" she kept her hands on his forearm, eyes gentle and breaths stabilising.

"tell me, which person would calm down in a situation where someone they've liked and loved for 5 years just got kissed by someone who betrayed all their closest friends"
