As the confrontation of the three escalated quickly, the rest of the Bonten heads to where they're at. Some paints a mocking smirk on their faces, while the others remained unfazed.

"This party just got interesting, I kinda wanna join the fun." Ran replied, sadistically smiling at the sight of seeing their co-worker on the floor after being pushed by Bonten's no. 2.

"Y' know, Lian...is it? Whatever... you could win the attention of any man. Although the men we were talking about ain't us. So... what a shame, I guess?" Rindou chuckles.

Oh, Lian didn't like that at all. In fact, she hates the way that they make fun of her. She abruptly stood up and shot everyone a glare before saying with fuming anger, "I will make sure you all will be reminded of this. You won't like the way it will happen." She says as she took one last look at Y/n, mentally cursing you for ruining her spotlight. At last, she storms out of the party to go to who knows where.

"You okay?" Mikey asked Y/n first, beating Sanzu at it.

"Yeah, I suppose. At least she's gone, right?" She awkwardly laughs.

"Don't worry, I'll make Sanzu handle her." Mikey replies.

Sanzu was only silent. He was worried that Lian might come after you too, after hearing those last words. It wasn't usual that this happens. He is a feared man. Why should he worry about threats at all? Was it because he has you?

The party ended, everyone heads back to their respective homes, so do Bonten. You are inside the car with Sanzu driving, as you silently watched the night's view through the car window. Sanzu was stealing glances from you. As his fingers tap the steering wheel slightly out of nervousness. Again, not the usual, but he was nervous to talk to you about what just happened earlier.

"Y/n—" his words were cut off when you asked.

"Haru, who was that girl? Why was she...somewhat obsessed with you?" You were talking to him yet your eyes were fixated to look outside the window.

"She..." he pauses, fumbling at the right words to say. "To be honest...I don't really know her. All I know is that she is our Medical Assitant at Bonten. That's it. I don't have any specific relationship with her or any interactions other than when we need medical attention." He explains.

"I see..." she replies shortly.

"Are you mad about what happened?" He reciprocated the interrogation. 

"No." You finally looked at him, his eyes were still on the road but you can see how they were glistening. "Are you...worried?" You read him very well.

He sighed. "What if I am...? Is it wrong to be worried for you?"

"Hey..." he followed the woman like a lost puppy. "Don't tell me you are mad just because a girl approached me while we're outside."

No... you thought to yourself.

"Really?? Not gonna talk??" He whines.

Yes... once again you spoke in your mind.

"Fine!" He sulks as he sat at your couch. His arms were crossed and he slumps, mimicking a child being sulky.

Really? Did I date an 16- year old man or a 5-year old boy inside a man's body?

"Why are you acting that way?" You asked monotonously.

When I tell you that this man's eyes just sparked with glee, it really did. He sat up straight and pretended that he is still sulking at you.

"Because..." he elongatedly replied

"Because?" You repeated.

"Because you were being stubborn about earlier, like I know you became jealous but it wasn't meeeeeeee" he said.

You just laughed. "Yup, I dated a 5-year old boy in a man's body. You kissed his cheek and proceeds to leave him dumbfounded.

"So we're okay?" He spoke to himself.

You unconciously smiled at the memory. Sanzu noticed you and asks.

"What are you thinking right now?" He slightly smiles at catching you.

"Oh, nothing. I just remembered when you sluked and acted like a toddler when I pretended that I was jealous at the girl who approached back then. You were hilarious." Y/n giggled.

"So that was pretention! And here I thought you really got mad about it and just stopped caring. Goodness, I just found that out today?!" He complains while laughing with you.

"It's not my fault that I am a good actress. Someone should cast me now." You boasted.

"Yeah, but if its a couple acting then I should be your partner! No one else!"

"Why is that?" You cocked your eyebrow at him.

" Because you're mine..." He seriously stated.

Stunned? Shocked? Surprised? Can these words describe what you feel at that moment? No. It was like you anticipated that answer from him, but it still made heart your flutter.

"Oh, and if you're wondering. I am serious." He adds.

"I know. I know it very well that you are." You looked at him, as he also glanced at you at the same time. He catches you smile at him, the same smile that now makes his heart flutter.

"I won't be giving up this time. Just so you know."

"Then don't, Haru. I would love to see this work out once again." You encouraged him.

"Okay, don't tell me we are watching that same exact movie that we always watch, like years ago." The pinkette sat comfortably on the space beside you. Both of you sits on the floor, deciding a movie to watch for the night.

"You still remember?" You chuckled.

It was that movie that always leaves happy memories when it plays. Every time you both watch it, something good happens throughout the duration.

"By now, I think I know how the movie goes. I have memorized the lines, probably."

"Oh, really? Act it out for me then." You smirked.

"Nah... if I did, I'd be stealing the actor's spotlight" he laughs.

You also did laugh, but after a while you said to him. "My favorite part of this movie is when they left each other a gift before parting ways for a while. It was something magical."

"Gift?" He asked, confusingly. "Didn't they just kiss at that part then bid goodbyes?"

"Exactly." You stated. "Just like we did."

Both of you felt a sting in your hearts. That was really a bad memory. Although, both of you are together this time, hoping that you can restore and fix everything back to what it used to.

"Yeah, but like what I said earlier. I won't give up this time. If I have to work for it, then I will." He says, taking your hands to his and looking straightinto your orbs. His eyes shone in the dark, with only the TV as your light source.

"Walk the talk. I would love to see you succeed this time." You said, kissing his nose.

I truly will, trust me. Sanzu says inside his head as you both proceed to watch that movie again for the Nth time.
