❝Your scent spreads inside me, there's nobody else other than you.❞

"Stay away," Sunhee mouthed out to Changmin without Eric hearing. "You go inside, Eric," she told the younger without even looking back.

"Okay," Eric smiled as he waved goodbye to Changmin before going inside the house.

Sunhee's gaze never left Changmin, her eyes burning in anger and trembling in fear. She still can't forget what the young man did to her.

"What did you do to Eric?" asked Sunhee, trying to stay calm.

"I did not do anything to him," Changmin defended, dropping off the smirk on his lips.  "As what he said, I saved him."

"Or you just manipulated him?"

"For the third time, I did not do any harm to him," Changmin sighed. "Trust me, Sunhee."

"Trust you?" Sunhee sarcastically exclaimed. "After what you did to me?" she whispered after.

"I mean, trust the words that I said to you just now," Changmin clarifies. "I don't have the time to argue with you," he added before climbing back on his motorbike.

Glaring at the boy in despise, Sunhee is now teary eyed. The way how Changmin act and think is very unreadable and too hard to understand.

"Aren't you going to apologize on what you did to me?"

Amused by her words, Changmin let out a chuckle, almost sounding like a giggle. After a mere second, he started to laugh in a sinister manner. Looking up in the night sky, he blinked for a few times before his gaze went back on the girl. Changmin's laughter was slightly getting softer when he locked his gaze on her own.

"Why the hell would I apologize on what I did to you when I did that in order to satisfy my own self?" asked Changmin with an eyebrow raised. "I can do everything that would pleasure me at any time or any place."

Sunhee was too stunned to speak. The words that rolled off of Changmin's tongue got the girl tongue-tied.

"You don't know how much I restrained myself on laying my fingers on your honey skin, Sunhee," Changmin hissed in a lustful manner. "I can't imagine how would your plump lips feel when they crash on mine."

Silence engulfed the both of them. Changmin's smirk crept up on his lips once again, making Sunhee terrified even more.

"Well, I'll get going now," Changmin stated as he ignited his motorbike. "See you around," he said for the last time before speeding off, leaving Sunhee by the sidewalk.

Even though Changmin was nowhere in sight, Sunhee was still stuck in the same position. Just then, someone came out from the front door of the house and approached the girl.

"He is so shameless," Haknyeon commented as he stood beside Sunhee. "Good thing that he did not lay a hand on you."

"Don't you think he is mentally ill?" asked Sunhee, finally facing Haknyeon.

Haknyeon shrugged his shoulders as he do not know what to answer. "Maybe he is," he stated, but unsure. "We just need to be careful whenever he is around. The way he thinks is very unpredictable and hard to read."

After a minute, Sunhee and Haknyeon went inside. They spotted Sunwoo treating Eric's cuts and bruises while nagging at the younger.

"I already told you to not go wander around the streets at night! Why won't you listen?!"

"I'm sorry—"

"There you go with your apologies again!"

Eric then fell silent, not wanting to worsen Sunwoo's rage of anger. He sat quietly on the couch and gave an apologetic look to both Haknyeon and Sunhee standing behind Sunwoo.

"I waited for you at the mall and even called you many times," said Sunwoo with a much calmer tone. "Why didn't you show up on time? And you even decided to show up in this state," he huffed.

"Sunwoo, just let it slide. Eric is completely not fine and this isn't the time for you to be mad at him," Haknyeon interrupts as he gently pulled back Sunwoo. "Go to your room and get some sleep," he told the younger for the last time, making the latter walk up inside his own bedroom.

Sunhee immediately sat beside Eric on the couch. "What exactly happened? Tell us the truth," she softly asks the younger boy.

"I already told the truth," said Eric. "That guy who drove me here did not do any harm towards me. He was the one who took me away and drove me here."

Haknyeon pushed his lips together, not convinced by Eric's answer. "Are you sure about that?"

"Yes, very sure," Eric reassures them. "Promise, I am definitely telling the truth."

Just then, the front door swung open, revealing Juyeon and Kevin. The two newly arrived gentleman quickly walked up to Eric after seeing the situation of the youngest.

"What happened to you?" Juyeon asked Eric out of worry.

"He got beaten up by some guys and was saved by that Changmin guy," Haknyeon stated in order to ease the worry of the two boys.

Kevin then shook his head as he looked up the ceiling. "Why did Sangyeon beat up this poor kid that bad," he mumbled, but Haknyeon got to hear it.

"You okay, Kev?" Haknyeon asks Kevin.

The elder looked at Haknyeon with a smile. "Yeah, just a little bit tired and then saw Eric in this situation worries me."

"Guys, I'm fine."

"Shut up, Son Youngjae," Sunhee spats at the boy. "Go sleep with Haknyeon tonight."

"Alright," Eric frowned and made his way upstairs with Haknyeon following behind him.

Sunhee was left with Kevin and Juyeon by the living room. There was a quick silence when Sunhee suddenly broke it.

"Kev, why did you stop here without even informing any of us?" she asks Kevin beside her.

"Babe, I just stumbled with Juyeon on the street. He told me that the apartment was empty because he'll be spending the night here, so I decided to tag along."

"Where have you been anyway?" asked Sunhee.

"Took a walk and spent time for myself," Kevin grinned.

"I am not convinced."

"I am not convincing you, babe. I just told the truth that you asked for."

"Uhm," Juyeon spoke for the first time since they arrived. "Sunhee, aren't you gonna ask how my day went? You even talked with Kevin without even sparing a glance on me. I am your boyfriend here, not Kevin."

"Goodnight, Juyeon," Sunhee tells the gentleman with a wave before running upstairs.

Kevin couldn't contain himself and bursted out in laughter and gave Juyeon's arms a few slap. "What a cute boyfriend you are," he commented.

"Can't you tell that I am jealous?" asked Juyeon, almost sounding like a child that made Kevin bursted out laughing once again.
