A Bloody Resolve

I decided to update a little early as I'll be going to Disneyland this week and will be super busy with other stuff! So for now, this will be the last chapter for a little bit~💜

Chapter 6: A Bloody Resolve

What if I were to just,,, walk out right now? Just middle fingers up, shades on, grab my stuff, and nope myself right out the door? It would be a tension breaker for sure, but I was hardly concerned with ruining the mood. Heck, I'm sure most of the guys in here would thank me for it! After all, how could anyone (who wasn't the orange-haired sadistic jerk-hole beside me) enjoy this horribly tense atmosphere? I mean, poor Alex looked like he'd gone into shock! He hadn't moved an inch since he laid eyes on Bae, sweating buckets of cold sweat.

"Hey, Kim." Said jerk-hole drawled, pointing a thumb toward the newly arrived Eunjang guys. "Don't tell me you calculated that too?"

Kim himself just crossed his arms, his smile the very antithesis of innocence. "How would I know whether those idiots decided to show up here or not? It's all a coincidence."

'Coincidence my foot! This guy's clearly scheming something!' I sent him a suspicious glance. 'Though what exactly he's scheming, I'm not sure...'

For what reason would he want Bae and these guys to meet up? Wasn't he Eunjang too? Did he perhaps have some beef with Alex, or was there more to it? Ahhh, I just couldn't be sure!

A few moments of nerve-wracking silence stretched among us. I was mentally preparing myself to witness an Eunjang beat-down sequel, but to my great surprise, the group turned around and began to leave!

'My god, miracles do happen!' I marveled, watching as one of the guys placed a comforting hand on Alex's back as he helped steer him away. Though I've only met him a few times, even I felt a little concerned at his subdued behavior. The Alex back at the underpass didn't hesitate to throw hands and even laughed when he got hit! Now though, he just seemed... really scared.

'If that's the case, I can't blame him... Bae scares the mess out of me too.' I frowned empathetically. Honestly, it just made Ben's fearlessness when mocking Bae back then all the more impressive. Perhaps I was letting my bias show, but I had little doubt that he could give that jerk a run for his money.

Everything looked as if it were going to end on an awkward, yet blood and bruise-free note. I didn't even realize how tense I was as my muscles ached when I relaxed them. But then not a moment later, a look flashed through Bae's eyes that was dark enough to put me completely on edge once more.

In quick long strides, Bae stomped over to Alex and snatched him by the hair from behind!

I gasped, dropping my pool cue at the sudden assault. My reaction went unnoticed as everyone's eyes were glued onto the hostile duo.

"Alex Go, you little chump." Venomous amusement was clear in Bae's tone. "You really think you can just turn your back on me and run away? Huh?"

I could see Alex wince as he was yanked by the hair even harder. Neither he nor I were prepared for the vicious punch that was then sent straight into his face soon after. The Eunjang guys cried out in worry while Kim gave a low, impressed whistle. "Bravo~!"

My disdain for him grew exponentially with just that one word. How could he stand there and enjoy watching someone (especially his schoolmate) get hit like that, regardless of if he had a vendetta against him or not?!
