I heard a few knocks on my door, followed by Shuhua shouting like a mad woman, , my eyes widened upon hearing what she said.

Grabbing my shoulder bag, I swung the open with a grimace. I made my way to the living room where I saw Renjun sitting on one one of the couches while drinking tea, that Shuhua probably offered to him. Once he noticed my presence, he waved at me and gave me a small smile.

, I ushered to him.

He chuckled, , he reassured me and gave a smile once more.

But then Shuhua cleared out her throat which made the both turn to her direction, she was leaning on the wall with her arms crossed over her chest, she asked. I was about to respond but she beat me to it, , she pointed at me and Renjun with her eyes squinted.

I widened my eyes and shook my head repeatedly, denying her acusiations while Renjun choked on his tea upon hearing what the latter just said. , i defended which made him nod in agreement.

, she spoke.

, the boy replied.

Shuhua shook her head repeatedly, , she pouted.

, he commented.

, I defended while raising my arms in surrender at her., I added.

I saw Shuhua smirked, , she mocked me but burst into laughter later on when she sees my reaction to what she just said.

, i tried to change the topic and gave her her a look, which she only playfully rolled her eyes at me.

Renjun glanced at his wrist watch before standing up from his seat, we said goodbye to the latter before making our way towards the door. He placed his hand on the doorknob and twisted it, allowing me to go through first. I look over my shoulder to wave goodbye at Shuhua, , she beamed before Renjun closed the door behind him.

The minute we entered the big house that birthday boy rented, blaring loud music that bounced back and forth in the venue greeted the both of us. Seungmin soon spotted the two of us, exchanging greets while Renjun only mumbled a low 'happy birthday'.

, he simply said before he went off to interact with the others.

Eventually I dragged Renjun to take a seat with me on one of the large maroon couches nearby, we watched in silence how the people danced in the middle of the room. The boy next to me cleared out his throat before speaking, , he mumbled before leaving his seat.

I straightened up my back while scanning my surroundings, when someone suddenly sat beside me. I turned my head to see who it was, sighing in relief when I saw that it's just Jaemin.

, he mumbled with a smirk on his face. I furrowed my eyebrows at him and was about to speak when he beat me to it,, he pointed from afar.

My eyes followed on their own to where he is pointing at, Y/N was looking down at everyone from the 2nd floor. Until a latter, that I couldn't recognize who, approached them before whispering something to their ear. I averted my gaze from the two, to glare at Jaemin who was gently nudging my sides teasingly.

, he teased me while wriggling his eyebrows at him.

I gave him a threatening look, , I defended before turning back my gaze on the two once again, but they were no longer found in the same spot earlier. A sigh escaped my lips until I saw Renjun heading towards me, , I threw another glare at the boy sitting next to me.

The latter raised his arms in surrender before standing, allowing Renjun to take back his seat. I scoffed and playfully rolled my eyes at him as Jaemin threw another teasing look before finally leaving us alone. I crossed my legs and looked straight ahead, and as if on cue something caught my attention.

I froze on my seat as my eyes widened at the sigh of the two, only staring at them as he offered her to take a seat before him. It looks like Renjun also noticed it because he gave me a worried look, Y/N brought Yiren as their plus one for today?

I averted my gaze from the two to look at Renjun, , he spoke.

, I spat bitterly before rolling my eyes at the two. My eyes travelled to the latter's hands who were resting on their shoulder.

Then I glanced at Y/N's facial expression, they didn't seemed to mind that the girl is doing a bit of skin ship. I think they got used to Yiren's clingy side, already. Heck, I didn't even know that the latter has a clingy side since I always see her a shy and timid girl. I scoffed, I just want to pry off her hands from them arm.

Their body was facing her, staring at her with loving eyes as the girl talked about something. I pressed my lips into a thin line when how Y/N stared at me back then crossed my mind. Y/N averted their gaze from the talking girl to look at me once they noticed that I was gazing at them.

Our eyes locked for a few seconds before they had to look away and clear out his throat awkwardly. I wasn't even thinking straight when my body did it on their own. Without thinking twice, I scooted a bit closer at Renjun before placing an arm at him.

I saw Y/N turn back their gaze at me, so I leaned a little bit more closer at Renjun and sending him a smile. He looked confused for a second and was about to ask what I was doing, but I just patted his shoulder.

, I mumbled, trying my best not to move my lips too much, so it won't be too obvious that I'm literally sending an order to this poor boy.

Renjun was a bit hesitating first because he kept on secretly glancing at Y/N back and forth before finally deciding to play alone. He slightly nodded in approval, so I didn't even think twice but wrap my arms around my neck and placing my head on his shoulder.

I held back the urge to smirk as I thought that this would probably the most mischievous thing that I did in my whole life. But I couldn't care less anymore, the only thing that matters now is to make Hwang Y/N jealous.

Counting from one to ten, I finally had the courage to raise up my head and look at them who sat across the other side of the room. I was more than surprised to see that they could keep up a neutral facial expression, even if their body was tensed when they saw the both of us.

But the next thing that happened blew me away, they grabbed her arm and wrapped it around their shoulder even more before scooting a lot closer on her. I could tell that the latter was confused to the sudden action of their 'friend' but didn't protest.

They gave her a small smile before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, they looked up to meet my gaze for a brief second. The latter whispered something on their ear, I'm pretty sure I wasn't mistaken when I saw a faint smirk spread on their lips.

That was at all it take before making my blood boil, I lifted my arm off Renjun's shoulder and properly sitting back down. I crossed my arms over my chest and sighed in defeat when I saw them smirking even more towards my directions. I frowned on my seat, great, when your own plan backfires you, just nice, Heejin.

PLAGIARISM IS A CRIME.
