Yeonjun spotted Soobin lingering near Somi's desk. He has been noticing this since the past few days.

"Hey, what's going on with you and Somi?" Yeonjun asked Soobin later.

Soobin's eyes narrowed. "Just trying to have a conversation."

Yeonjun's gaze lingered. "With Somi? Why?" Yeonjun asked, he thought someone like Soobin would never even look at a girl like Somi.

Soobin's voice dropped. "Revenge against Y/n. She put me against my brother, I will put her against her sisters.”

“Sisters?” Yeonjun asked. Soobin shrugged his shoulders.

“Yeah, Yeji too. But compared to Somi she was easier to trap just through Instagram.” Soobin said and showed the chats he had with Yeji on Instagram.

Yeonjun's expression turned stern. "But Somi's not at fault. She's innocent, sweet… Soobin, it's wrong to take revenge on her."

Soobin's eyes flashed. "Why are you taking her side? Don't you trust me?"

Yeonjun's voice remained calm."I trust you, but this is about Somi. She doesn't deserve your wrath."

Soobin's jaw clenched. "Y/n hurt me. Somi's connected to her."

Yeonjun knew if he tried to make Soobin stop he would do worse.

Taehyung typed away on his computer when Y/n approached.

"Hey, how's work?" Y/n asked.

“Hectic” Taehyung mumbled while still looking at the laptop. He was busy doing his CEO work, and then he started doing a deep dive into all the employees' activities, and now he finds himself interested in knowing the behavior of each employee and their working progress. Y/n closed his laptop.

“You should talk while looking at your seniors.” Y/n exclaimed

Taehyung smirked."Using your privilege, huh?" Taehyung teased.

Y/n chuckled. "Do I have any privileges?"

Taehyung grinned. "Well, you're definitely higher in rank than me, and you just used it.”

Y/n's eyes sparkled. "Enough about work. Want to go on a date with me?"

“Right now?” He asked.

She shrugged her shoulders, “We can go tomorrow.”

“We can't tomorrow, I am going somewhere.” He said.

Y/n's eyes narrowed.

"Where are you going?"

Taehyung's smile faltered.

"Another city. Family stuff."

Y/n's gaze lingered. "I feel like I know nothing about you."

Taehyung shifted uncomfortably. "What do you want to know?"

Y/n leaned in. "Family? Friends?Who do you have in your family?”

Taehyung's expression softened. "I have my mother."

Y/n pressed on. "What about other family members? Your father?"

Taehyung's voice dropped. "My parents are divorced.”

Y/n's eyes sparkled. "Who else? Do you have any siblings?”

Taehyung hesitated. "One brother."

Y/n studied Taehyung's guarded expression. He was giving answers to only the question she was asking.

“Nice, complete your work then we will go back tomorrow.” She said and put her bag on the table. She sat on the chair, she put her hands in her palm and stared at Taehyung. “Do you need any help?”

He shook his head, he can't work In Front of her. And he definitely can't work when she is looking at him like that. “Let's just leave.” He said closing up his stuff.

Taehyung came home, he saw Jungkook who was sitting in the living room. “Are you okay? These days you just go to the office and then home. What about your parties huh?”

“I don't feel like going anywhere.” Jungkook replied, he feels so empty without Y/n. It's like he has to be in front of his eyes all the time for him to feel fine. Being without her is horrible, even for some hours.

Taehyung sit beside him, Jungkook didn't look at him.

"Kook, have you ever noticed how different the city looks from a car window versus the subway or walking?"

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Taehyung gestured. "From a car, everything's a blur, but you see the bigger picture. On the subway, it's crowded and noisy, but you see people's stories. Walking, you feel the pulse of the city."

Jungkook shrugged. "I don't have time for sightseeing."

Taehyung chuckled. "That's exactly my point. You're missing out. Explore the city, Kook."

Jungkook's expression turned wry. He does want to explore the city with Y/n if he can.  "It's fun...occasionally.”

Taehyung's eyes sparkled. “Yes, but I want to use it daily.” So Taehyung can spend more time with Y/n.

"But daily?” Jungkook said. "I'd get annoyed."

Taehyung grinned. “Not with her.”

Jungkook's gaze lingered. “Not with her? Taehyung, who is it? At this point just spill it out?” Jungkook said.

His mind didn't even think that Taehyung could  be talking about Y/n, but Jungkook had already made up his mind that Y/n is supposed to fall for him only.

“I will soon.” Taehyung said.

Somi walked into the room, noticing Yeji's focused expression. "Who are you texting?" Somi asked.

Yeji's thumbs flew across the screen. "Just someone."

Somi's curiosity piqued, she peered over Yeji's shoulder. Soobin's Instagram profile was open. "Wait, Soobin?" Somi's voice rose. “You are texting him?” Yeji nodded.

"What's going on?" Somi asked.

"I think he's interested in me," Yeji said. “He sent me a request and now he texts me.”

Somi's eyes widened. "No way. He's been trying to hit on me at college."

Yeji's laughter filled the room. "That's not possible!"

Somi's expression turned serious. "I'm serious! He's always around me. To the point it's annoying.”

Yeji's grin faltered. “Have you gone out of your mind? In what delusion do you live? What proof do you have that he flirts with you? And why would he flirt? You might be pretty, you have zero personality. But why would a man like Soobin chase you?”

“A man like Soobin? Oh you mean a playboy? You can't trust me.” Somi said.

___
Soobin kept trying to talk to Soobin so she decided to talk to him. “What are you trying to do? You are texting my sister and then trying to flirt with me in college?”

"Honestly?” Soobin rubbed the back of his neck, keeping his cheeky smile on his lips. "You don't talk to me, so I tried to become friends with her sister first."

Somi's eyes narrowed. "You did it for me?"

Soobin stepped closer. "Yes, Somi. I did it for you. If it makes you uncomfortable, I'll stop texting Yeji. I just want to know you,x

Somi's heart fluttered. "For me?"

Soobin's voice dropped. "You matter the most to me, Somi."

"I thought you'd changed."

Soobin's gaze locked onto hers. "I have. Because of you."
___

Soobin stormed into the office, his gaze falling on Y/n hunched over her desk. He was annoyed by her presence. Why is she even here? What is she doing here?

He ignored her, went  toward Jungkook's office.

"Soobin," Jungkook acknowledged, voice neutral.

"Hey, Hyung. There was a concert, I was thinking we can go there. What do you say?" Soobin asked.

Jungkook's expression remained icy."Busy. Other things to attend to."

Soobin's smile faltered. "Everything okay?"

Jungkook's gaze didn't waver. "Just work."

Soobin's eyes darted toward Y/n, still engrossed in her work. The vibe was still weird, Jungkook hasn't forgiven Soobin but why?."Alright, another time," Soobin said.

Jungkook nodded curtly. “Did you apologize to Y/n?”

“I already did.” Soobin replied.

“And I don't think she has forgiven you, you should try again.” Jungkook said. Making Soobin red in anger, why would he apologize to that girl again?

“I will,” Soobin said with a smile.

“Do it before leaving.” Jungkook exclaimed. Soobin nodded his head and then he left the office. He was so angry. Why did he has to apologize to that girl when he couldn't even do anything to her?

Soobin was about to walk past Y/n but he stopped, he had to forget his ego for a while, he looked at Y/n.

“Hi,” He said. She looked at him, but was not interested. Jungkook came out of his office too, he wanted to know what Soobin would say to her. He doesn't want Soobin to disrespect her or insult her. “I wanted to apologize for last time again. I am really not a bad person.”

She doubts his last words.

“I am sorry.” Soobin said. “You forgive me right Noona?”

She nodded her head. “Thank you,” Soobin said politely, he looked at Jungkook, “Bye hyung,” Soobin said before leaving.

“Except for making him apologize again and again, you should sit and have a proper conversation with him.” Y/n exclaimed.

“You are still not happy?” He asked.

“Humans have egos, and accepting faults hurts our egos. Just saying you should talk to him, except for making him apologize again and again.” She said,

“You are right,” Jungkook replied.

Meanwhile Soobin went to meet Yeonjun.

Soobin's face twisted in rage as he thought about Y/n. "He thinks she is so perfect,”

Yeonjun stepped forward, concern etched on his face. "Soobin, calm down, man. Whatever's going on, we can talk about it."

But Soobin shook him off. "No, Yeonjun. Jungkook thinks she's some kind of angel, but I'll show him the truth. She's cheap, and I'll make sure he sees it."

Soobin's fingers flew across his phone screen, typing out a furious message.

Yeonjun's eyes narrowed. "Soobin, what are you planning?"

Soobin's smile was menacing. "Something bigger. Just watch."

Yeonjun's unease grew as Soobin's eyes gleamed with malice. "Soobin, stop. This isn't going to end well."

But Soobin just chuckled, his phone still clutched in his hand, as he plotted his next move.
___

Y/n changes her blankets, humming softly as she tidies up her room. Meanwhile Yeji kept asking Y/n.

"Y/n, please! You have to say yes!" Yeji pleaded, her eyes shining.

Y/n raised an eyebrow, setting down her dusting cloth. "You have to tell me details first.”

"I want to go to a Halloween party! Everyone's going to be there!" Yeji exclaimed.

Y/n's expression turned stern. "You know Dad's rules. He will not allow you to go there alone."

Yeji pouted. "That's exactly why I need you to come with me! Dad won't let me go alone, but if you're there, he'll say yes!"

Y/n shook her head. "I'm not going to a party, Yeji. And even if I was, Dad would never agree."

Yeji's face fell, but she refused to give up. "Just ask him, please? For me?"

“I am tired, this week was exhausting. Ask Somi.” Y/n said.

“Somi? You know dad will never allow it. Please just this time, please it's my birthday month, please!” Yeji said.

Y/n sighed, softening. "Fine, I'll ask. But don't get your hopes up."

“You are coming with me right?” Yeji asked and Y/n nodded her head.

Yeji's grin returned, triumphant. "Thank you, unnie! I'll go get ready!"

Y/n chuckled, shaking her head as Yeji skipped out of the room. Yeji looked at her phone and quickly typed to inform Soobin that she is coming to the party.
__
Y/n frowned, eyeing Yeji's outfit. "Why do you have to wear something so revealing?"

Yeji struck a pose. "It's the theme, unnie! Winx Club characters."

Y/n raised an eyebrow. "I thought the theme was Halloween?"

Yeji chuckled. "Halloween parties have themes too, duh!"

As they entered the party, Y/n's unease grew. People wore an array of costumes, from spooky to seductive. Yeji squealed, dragging Y/n into the crowd.

Just then, Soobin appeared, flashing a charming smile. "Hey, Yeji! You look stunning. Sorry I had to lie about the party theme, I just wanted to see you as bloom.”

Y/n's eyes narrowed. Y/n's disapproval deepened. "You know Soobin?"

Yeji shrugged. "We're friends, unnie. Don't worry."

Soobin's gaze shifted to Y/n, his smile polite. "Hi, Y/n. Looking lovely tonight. Enjoy the party.” Soobin said and take a leave Yeji was sad she thought he would stand here and talk to her more. Y/n's expression remained cold.

Soobin's face lit up on the screen as he video-called Jungkook.

"Hey, Hyung! You are coming to the party I'm at," Soobin said, loud music pulsating behind him.

Jungkook lay beside the pool, looking uninterested. "Not tonight, Soobin. I'm relaxing."

Soobin chuckled. "Come on, it'll be fun!”

Jungkook yawned, unmoved.

Just then, a figure appeared in the background behind Soobin. Y/n. Looking pretty in her Flora from Winx costume..

Jungkook's gaze snapped to attention, sitting up straight.

"Wait,” Jungkook asked, his voice low and intrigued. “Is that Y/n?”

Soobin turned, smiling mischievously. "Oh, yeah it's Y/n. She's here with Yeji. Yeji her sister, and my College mate.”

Jungkook's expression changed. "I'm coming."

Soobin grinned. "Bye Hyung! See you soon."

Jungkook ended the call, already on his feet, eyes fixed on the spot where Y/n had appeared.

Soobin sidled up to Yeonjun, voice low. “Hyung is coming, Y/n is here. Half work is done. Now it's your turn, Add the pills to Y/n's drink."

Yeonjun's eyes narrowed. "What these pills are for? Wait are you planning to get her unconscious and-"

"Stop running your mind, why would I call Hyung then? I just want her to act cheap Infront of Hyung. Just go and add these."

"Do it yourself. Don't bring me to this mess.” Yeonjun replied.

Soobin smirked. "Her guard's up around me. She won't suspect you."

Yeonjun's gaze flicked to Y/n, then back to Soobin. "What's the plan?"

Soobin's grin widened. "Just make sure she drinks it. The rest is on me."
