As Y/N left the office, the cool evening air felt refreshing against their tired face. They walked slowly, their thoughts still swirling with the day's work. The streets were quieter than usual, with only a few people hurrying home.

Y/N decided to take a detour through a nearby park, hoping a short walk would help clear their mind. The park was peaceful, with only the rustling of leaves and distant sounds of traffic breaking the silence.

As she walked, Y/N noticed a small, cozy café tucked away in a corner of the park. 

Stepping inside, Y/N was greeted by the soothing aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the soft hum of quiet conversations. They found a seat by the window and ordered a cup of tea. The calming ambiance was just what she needed.

While sipping her tea, Y/N took out a notebook and began jotting down some notes. It wasn't work-related; just a mix of personal reflections and random journals. Writing had always been a way for them to decompress, and tonight was no exception.

A few minutes later, the café door opened, and to Y/N's surprise, thinking why he was there Hyungwon walked in. He spotted Y/N and smiled, making his way over.

"Mind if I join you?" Hyungwon asked, holding a cup of coffee.

Y/N was a bit surprised but nodded. "Of course, sir. 

Hyungwon sat down, looking around the cozy café. "This place is nice. I come here sometimes to unwind."

Y/N smiled, feeling more awkward. "I just discovered it tonight. It's really surprising

 hyungwon: y/n I'm sorry about what happened  that day 

I'm trying to help you 

y/n but I don't need your help, sir, it's  already complicated 

hyungwon: you don't need to call me sir bcoz we are not in the office. and I'm saying that I'm your boyfriend it's  just acting like you look pathetic in front of them  and I don't like this feeling of being outcasted 

y/n: thanks for your concern  but I do need 

hyungwon: why are you so stubborn  and acting cold all the time first thing is you bumped into me that day and took my phone so you should apologize  for that and thank me for saving you from that restaurant  situation 

y/n: sorry extremely sorry and also thanks and bye I need to go home now 

hyungwon: ugh listen to me i will drop you home 

y/n: no need  but then  out of nowhere scoops shows up your crush (yujins bf ) 

soups: y/n are you okay  is there any problem

y/n: why are you here?

soups: that's not the concern now ....

 Hyungwon stood up, his expression hardening. "It's none of your business. Can you stay out of it?"

Scoups stepped closer, his posture protective. "I'm not leaving until I know Y/N is safe."

Hyungwon's patience snapped. what do you mean y/n is not safe? "You don't get to decide that. This is between Y/N and me."

Y/N, caught in the middle, tried to interject. "Please, both of you, stop."

But Hyungwon and Scoups were now locked in a tense standoff, neither willing to back down. The café patrons watched with growing interest, sensing the brewing conflict.

y/n: scoups pls let go hyungwon ...

Scoups took a step forward, his voice low and firm. "I won't let you bully Y/N. 

Hyungwon's eyes flashed with anger. "I'm not bullying her and you even don't know what's the matter and she is not your girlfriend so stay behind after hearing these soups punch him in his face. 

Scoups' fist flew forward before Y/N could react, connecting with Hyungwon's jaw. Hyungwon stumbled back, his lips starting to bleed. Y/N felt overwhelmed and finally spoke up. "Stop it, both of you. I can take care of myself. Scoups, thank you for your concern, but I need to handle this on my own."

Hyungwon wiped the blood from his lip, glaring at Scoups. "This isn't over."

Scoups, still fuming, glanced at Y/N with concern. "Are you sure you're okay?"

y/n: yes but stay out of it.

Scoups hesitated but eventually nodded. "Alright. 

Hyungwon wiped the blood from his lip, glaring at Scoups. "This isn't over."

Y/N sighed, feeling a mix of emotions. "First, worry about yourself. Your lips are bleeding. Let me treat you."

Hyungwon shook his head. "It's fine."

Y/N insisted no it's not, guiding him to sit back down. "No, it's not. Let me help."

They found a first aid kit in the café, and Y/N carefully cleaned the cut on Hyungwon's lip. The tension between them eased as they focused on the task.

"Thank you," Hyungwon said quietly, looking into your eyes.

you nodded. "You're welcome. But listen, you need to stay out of Scoups' way. He's dangerous."

Hyungwon frowned.  then what do you think I'm not powerful as soups "I can handle myself."

"I know you can," "but I don't want things to get worse. Please, for both our sakes, avoid him."

Hyungwon sighed, considering Y/N's words. "Alright, I'll try."

Y/N felt a sense of relief. "Good. Let's just get through this without more drama."

Hyungwon nodded, and they both stood up, ready to leave. "I'll walk you home."

This time, Y/N didn't argue. As they walked, the silence between them was filled with a newfound understanding. Despite the complications, they both knew they had each other's backs.

After an hour, Hyungwon glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. and we reached your apartment good night take care ..

y/n: you too go home safe..

 hyungwon: see you in the office  tomorrow
