002: Tied.

Yeoreum couldn't even count the times she rolled her eyes whenever Haechan answered her every question in a flirting way. She hated the type of guy he was - an obvious playboy who thought he could have anything and anyone he wanted. Maybe he was handsome and maybe he was charming, but that didn't erase the fact that he was too cocky for her liking and because of that she couldn't take him seriously.

"I don't know, did you steal something?" She sighed, looking ahead in annoyance.

"Not yet but I hope I will."

Yeoreum turned to look him in the eyes as she burst out laughing. "Oh my god, was that supposed to make me feel something?"

A smirk didn't leave Haechan's face as he shrugged, still playing around. "I don't know, did it?"

"Please, you're not as smooth as you think you are."

He hummed and tilted his head. "I don't know about that." He suddenly sighed and repositioned himself next to Yeoreum, leaning back against the wall. He placed his hand comfortably on his thigh which caught the girl's attention and they both glanced down. She quickly pulled their cuffed hands down onto the floor instead, making Haechan chuckle and shake his head. "I murdered my neighbor." He suddenly blurred out, catching Yeoreum off guard. She glanced at him curiously as she noticed his face expression changed and he looked almost annoyed.

Seeing the girl's attitude towards anything he said or did, eventually got him tired of trying to make things fun for the two of them. If she wanted to get out of the situation they were in so quickly, then so be it.

"You?" He added, not looking at her whatsoever and keeping his eyes locked on one of the decorations that was placed in front of them.

"What? Oh, um," She was taken aback by his sudden change of character. "I robbed a bank."

He chuckled. "What a great couple. A murderer and a thief." Yeoreum couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle as well, finding it quite funny to be honest. "Great." He added and suddenly began to get up from the floor, pulling on the girl's hand a bit too much that she hissed. His head snapped back to her and how she frowned while looking down at their hands together. Instinctively, he took her by the wrist and tried to examine it. His eyes widened a little at how there were marks as if the cuff was tightened a bit too hard. "Why didn't you say it's too tight?"

The sudden eye contact made her feel weird, his stare was just simply too much to handle for some reason. "It's not."

He scoffed, letting one side of his lips curl up. "Sure." He said and turned around, ready to grab the knob and leave the room they stayed in all alone for almost an hour.
Yeoreum didn't know how to behave around him anymore because he changed the way he acted so quickly that she didn't get to get used to the new side of him yet.

"Oh! My most anticipated couple." Yuta greeted them with the widest, most beautiful smile. "Did you guys figure it out?"

"Yeah, she robbed a bank." Haechan blurred out immediately without any face expression whatsoever. Yuta's smile dropped a little as well once he noticed the weird tension between the two he cuffed together. His as well as Haechan's eyes turned to Yeoreum who stayed silent until she felt their eyes on her - too much to handle once again. "He murdered his neighbor."

The frat's president nodded, reaching for the key into his pocket. He then grabbed Yeoreum's hand, sending shivers down her spine, to unlock the handcuff. As soon as it was off, she held onto it with the other hand, trying not to let out any sort of relieved noises as she told Haechan not long ago that it didn't hurt at all. She had pride and didn't like to act weak, especially in front of someone like the playboy himself.

Haechan smirked annoyed as he shook his head once he noticed how Yeoreum tried to hide her face that probably frowned from the pain the handcuff gave her. His eyes turned to his hand as soon as Yuta freed it from the thing that wasn't comfortable at all and Haechan patted the guy's shoulder, then walked off after sending him a smile.

The long haired boy turned to Yeoreum who put on a smile as soon as he met her eyes. "You didn't like him, did you?"

"He's a jerk." She spat out immediately, still holding onto her wrist without realizing as her eyes found Haechan who was already buttering up another girl. She scoffed and Yuta turned to see what she was looking at, then he laughed "Yeah, he likes the attention."

"You don't say." She said, visibly still annoyed, even though she didn't know why she cared to that extend.

"Yeoreum," Yuta said in a worried voice and grabbed her by the wrist gently. "What the hell, why didn't you tell me I tied it too hard?" He looked at the marks around her wrist as if his stare was going to heal it. She couldn't help but smile at his sweetness.

"It's nothing, really. It doesn't even hurt." She let him hold her hand without wanting to take it away any time soon. He gently ran his fingers over the marks which made her make a face that said it all.

"Liar." He said in a soft voice, looking her in the eyes. "Come on, let's take care of it."

Once they got into the kitchen that wasn't as packed as before considering a lot of people had already gone back to their dorms or fell asleep somewhere around the frat, Yuta managed to quickly get what he needed from one of the cabinets.

"It may sting a little. The skin broke off at some parts from what I've seen."

"It's ok, I can handle pain well."

Yuta chuckled, not believing the girl after what he saw only minutes ago. He gently put the ointment around her wrist and noticed how she  pursed her lips together, trying not to make a sound. A smile painted his face as he shook his head, finishing his little medical help. "There you go."

"Thanks, you really didn't have to." She smiled a little too, glancing between her wrist and Yuta's eyes.

"I'm sorry I tied it too hard. You're the only one I didn't mean to do that to." He smirked playfully and the redness wanted to immediately creep onto Yeoreum's cheeks. Her eyes widened a little as she chuckled, not knowing how to behave or even how to take that comment. Did it mean that she was precious to him or that he didn't find her attractive enough to want to tie her up to the bed?

"I gotta go, I have to take care of some drunk people. Talk later, yeah?"

She nodded, having his words still linger in her mind as she bit her bottom lip just imagining the crazy scenarios of how good he had to be in that stuff. Once he walked off, her eyes met someone else's. Haechan smirked and scoffed almost as if he meant to comment Yeoreum's interaction with Yuta, for whatever reason.

The girl sighed and a drunk Jungwoo suddenly bumped into her out of nowhere. "Fucking hell, how did you get so drunk during the game?"

The boy smiled drunkly as he put his finger up. "I had a really cool partner. Partner in crime." He laughed. "Get it?" He kept on laughing harder at his own silly dad joke.

Yeoreum chuckled and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Let's get you to your dorm."
