Damn
Zoi and Nela finally arrived and headed toward the venue.
Both were dressed in black, outfits that perfectly matched the moody vibe of the place.
Zoi had styled her blonde hair into two small buns on top of her head, giving her the sweetest, most innocent look.
Nela, on the other hand, looked like the fiercest person alive! Her pink hair was tied into two braids that fell over her shoulders, and the piercing in her nose along with her sharp eyebrows made her look cool, even cold.
As soon as they stepped in, all eyes turned to them.
Their presence drew attention, especially with their bright hair colors.
They saw each other and started walking like models on a runway, moving deeper into the venue to find the boys.
*
Jin and Leo had just entered the venue, trying to move quickly so that no one would notice them.
Jin was somewhat known to the public because of his brand—Deep Style was one of the well-known companies for trendy sportswear and hip hop fashion.
He had reserved a spot in the VIP area on the second floor, right in front of the dance floor.
Around him were other famous people, who, it seemed, had been invited for the night—singers and well-known choreographers.
Jin was sitting comfortably, one leg crossed over the other, a drink in his hand.
His hoodie was up, dark sunglasses on, and a cigarette between his fingers—he looked so cool, so sexy.
In this way, he stood out even more than he was trying to hide.
A few girls, singers from a music group, up there couldn't take their eyes off him.
It was only a matter of minutes before one of them would come over.
Jin started scanning the area with his eyes, looking for his boyfriend, when one of them came over.
"Hey, guys—mind if I sit here with you?" her sweet voice asked.
Jin didn't even turn his head, even though she was standing right next to him.
His mind was only on finding Smart.
Leo turned his head and recognized her immediately—she was a famous figure.
He nudged Jin with his elbow, trying to get a reaction since the girl was standing right there.
Jin took a drag from his cigarette and, without looking at her, said,
"If Leo wants, then you can join us."
Leo turned to Jin immediately.
"What the hell are you talking about?" he whispered.
"If you've got the balls to keep her close, then do it—but don't forget the chaos Ren caused last time he caught you dancing with that girl." Jin laughed softly.
"You jerk, don't mess with me," Leo snapped. "I swear, I'll hit you."
Jin kept smoking his cigarette as if the girl didn't exist.
He didn't even bother to notice who she was.
Leo turned his head and, sounding a little embarrassed, said,
"Sorry! We've got company tonight—we're taken."
The girl almost exploded with anger—it was the first time anyone had ever rejected her.
She stormed off, fuming.
"Ugh, damn it, Jin, why do you always put me in these situations?"
She was here for you—why should I even get involved?
What an awkward mess…
Look at where we've ended up!
Back then, we never said no…
And now, we're actually using the word 'no' like never before.
"Alright, calm down. Stop overreacting and do some searching," Jin said, taking a sip of his drink.
""If Smart isn't on the dance floor, then he must be sitting near the bar," Leo said, as if he'd known Smart for years.
Jin lowered his sunglasses slightly to get a clearer look at Leo, with a questioning gaze.
Leo adjusted his bangs, messed up by the beanie.
"Don't look at me like that! I've been here with Smart before, you know."
*
Smart was almost ready for his challenge.
He took a sip of alcohol and was about to head toward the dance floor, waiting for his moment, when Zoi suddenly blocked his path.
She threw herself over his shoulders, her legs wrapping tightly around his waist, holding him close.
"You little trickster! Did you really think I wouldn't find out?" she exclaimed.
Smart was immediately stunned when he saw Zoi there.
In front of him, Nela stood, and he gave her a look, as if to say, "What did you come here with?"
Nela noticed, but she simply didn't say anything.
She even turned her gaze elsewhere, just to avoid Smart's eyes.
*
Leo saw Ren sitting at the bar with Han and relaxed, smiling to himself like a fool.
Meanwhile, Jin's eyes shifted toward Smart—and he tensed immediately at what he saw.
Smart had a girl in his arms, and his blood nearly boiled.
Leo noticed and turned his eyes toward where Jin was looking.
"Ah, Jin—that's Zoi—don't stress over it!
And the one with pink hair is Nela, their friend. I've told you before, haven't I?"
Jin took a deep breath and calmed down a little, even though inside, he still felt a twinge of jealousy at the embrace between Smart and Zoi.
*
Smart set Zoi down immediately and positioned both girls close together, facing him.
"Whose idea was it to ride the bike in the middle of the night?"
"And whose do you think it was?" Nela shot back, her voice full of confidence.
Nela knew full well that Smart would be suspicious, but she still didn't want to ruin Zoi's fun—after all, she wanted to ride.
On top of that, she trusted Zoi's skills completely, so she let her take the handlebars.
Smart had been to Nela's practice spot before, had caught them a few times, riding together and swapping turns on the bike.
He had made Zoi promise that outside the track, she'd stay off the bike.
She could have fun there, on that safe track—but not out there, where she could risk her life.
Smart leaned in even closer.
"Who was driving the bike? You or Zoi?"
"Hmm, I was the one driving," Nela said in a cold tone, but she didn't meet his eyes.
"Damn it!" Smart shouted, turning his gaze to Zoi.
Zoi froze under Smart's stare and bolted toward Ren and Han
"Hmm… Smart's going to scold me! Will you… protect me?" she whispered.
"Does he look like he's going to kill me?" she added, her voice trembling.
Han laughed and held her close, hiding her behind him.
Zoi had wrapped her arms around Han's waist and wasn't letting go.
"We'll talk about this later," Smart said, putting a finger to Nela's forehead and pressing gently.
"Okay, okay… you got us now! Can't you see?" she said, smiling with a hint of irony.
Smart headed toward the counter where Zoi was sitting with the boys.
"Zoi, come here," he called, his voice slightly tense.
"I don't want to!" her voice came from behind Han's back.
"Smart… do you see this sexy body of mine? I'm sure you do!" Han said, gesturing toward his own body.
"So you'll have to destroy it first before you can get to Zoi… got it? Am I clear?"
"I'll destroy it with pleasure… hmmm, in ways you would never expect! Didn't you learn your lesson earlier?" Smart replied, winking and placing one hand firmly on Han's shoulder, squeezing slightly.
"Are you sure you can handle this?" Smart asked, his eyes locked on Han's, a teasing edge in his voice.
Han shivered for a moment, thinking about what kind of "destruction" Smart meant, and tilted his glass after taking a sip of alcohol.
Damn… even now, he still has the nerve to keep teasing me, he thought, his hand trembling and the drink almost spilling.
"Honestly… I don't want this… but…" he added, turning to Zoi so she could move toward Ren.
Zoi pulled herself free and ran to Ren, grabbing his arm.
"Brother, protect me now!" she shouted.
Smart let go of Han's shoulder, and Han chuckled softly, pressing his own hand against it as he felt the sting.
Damn… where does he get all this strength?
I guess I've underestimated Smart, he thought to himself.
He's like a hidden ember, ready to explode at any moment…
But damn… he looks so fucking good.
Zoi was already by Ren's side, feeling even more protected.
Smart moved toward Ren.
Ren looked Smart in the eyes and realized that he was just worried, not about to shout at Zoi.
"Zoi, go to your brother," Ren said calmly.
Zoi didn't let go of Ren's arm.
"Go… he won't yell at you. If he does, I'll be right here to protect you," Ren added reassuringly.
"Beb—come to me," Nela's voice called softly. "Come closer… I won't let him do anything to you."
The word *beb* was very special to Zoi.
She was used to hearing it every day from her mom, but now, being away from her, she heard it far less often.
Nela knew this, having heard Zoi's mom call her that during their video calls.
One day, she decided to call Zoi *beb* herself.
Zoi had been so happy when Nela used it for the first time that she hugged her for minutes on end.
That word gave her warmth, a positive vibe, a kind of joy that seemed to fill her soul with oxygen.
Smart just gave Nela a look, as if to say, "Don't think you'll escape punishment either!"
But the moment he heard the word *beb*, Smart's expression softened instantly, and he felt all the strength to punish Zoi melt away.
Zoi walked toward him with slow, hesitant steps, her head almost bowed, as if carrying all her worries in it.
Smart took her hand.
"Puffi, please… don't do things like this without letting me know, okay? You promised me you wouldn't ride outside that track.
I know the adrenaline is huge, but it makes me die of worry!"
Zoi nodded in agreement and stepped forward to hug Smart.
"I'm sorry I broke my promise… I love you so much," she whispered.
"I love you more," Smart murmured, kissing her on the head.
At that moment, Nela interrupted, pulling Smart aside and guiding him closer to the dance floor as the crowd was calling out.
"I love you too, but now it's time for you to go and leave all the sentimental stuff behind. Go and thrill us," she said.
"We'll talk later," Smart replied, giving her braid a gentle tug.
"If I have time for you," she teased, rolling her eyes around the crowd.
Behave yourself tonight—Zoi's with us!"
"No flirting today, okay?"
"Okay, Commander, as you wish," she said, saluting with her hand.
"Now go and give us a show."
*
The whole scene left Jin almost speechless, his mouth slightly open.
He had been smiling the entire time without even realizing why.
He hadn't heard a single word, but Smart's movements and the way he carried himself nearly made Jin's heart stop.
His eyes stayed locked on his boyfriend, who looked so cute and commanding at the same time.
Fuck… Smart, what are you doing to me? Jin thought, unable to look away.
He turned to Leo, simply locking eyes.
A look that said it all.
Damn… that side of him hits differently.
Leo, reading that look, laughed and shook his head.
"Have I told you… the moment we first saw him?
He looks cute, and at the same time… so intriguing…"
Jin felt his chest tighten.
I was used to cute guys, and I thought I was only drawn to them… maybe because they were easier to make submissive.
But Smart? He's completely unpredictable.
And he still isn't giving in, you know?
And yet… I'm losing my mind over him.
Why the hell does this keep happening?
Leo exhaled from his cigarette and shook his head lightly.
He leaned a little closer to Jin, teasing.
Could this feeling… be called' deep love?
Jin didn't say a word. He lit a cigarette and kept his eyes on Smart.
Every gesture, every expression… he was starting to admire him even more.
He almost forgot that Smart had lied—he was lost in his own daydreams, just wanting to be close to him.
Leo's eyes stayed fixed on Ren, as if he could devour him with just a glance.
"I… I want to be part of them too!" Leo murmured, his voice thick with longing.
"I want to be near Ren," he added, almost drowning in desire for his love.
Jin glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
"Your soul's screaming for Ren… right?"
"How could it not? Look at him… he's so damn sexy!" Leo said, and just before he could finish his sentence, he noticed a girl walking toward Ren.
"Fuck!" Leo shouted, springing to his feet.
Ren was at the bar, grabbing a drink, when a tall girl with killer looks slid up to him.
"Hey, handsome! Care to grab me a drink?"
Ren turned, a sly smile playing on his lips.
"Sure thing," he said, signaling the bartender to serve her.
