love and loyalty

chapter 34

As the excitement of the bike race filled the air, Sky's heart raced with anticipation, his adrenaline pumping in preparation for the competition ahead. But amidst the flurry of activity, a sense of unease nagged at the back of his mind, a feeling that something was amiss.

Unbeknownst to Sky, his phone lay forgotten in Rain's car, a small oversight that would soon have unforeseen consequences. As the group gathered at the starting line, a familiar figure approached, sending a chill down Sky's spine.

It was Gun, Sky's ex-boyfriend, a shadow from his past that he had hoped to leave behind. With a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, Sky watched as Gun drew nearer, his heart pounding with a mixture of fear and dread.

"Sky," Gun called out, his voice cutting through the air like a knife. "Long time no see."

Sky's breath caught in his throat at the sound of Gun's voice, his hands trembling with a mixture of anger and apprehension. "What do you want, Gun?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Gun's lips curled into a predatory smirk, his eyes glinting with malice as he took a step closer. "I just wanted to say hello, catch up on old times," he replied, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

But Sky knew better than to trust the honeyed words of his former tormentor. With a steely resolve burning in his heart, he stood his ground, refusing to let Gun's presence shake him. "I have nothing to say to you," he declared, his voice firm and unwavering.

As the tension between them reached a boiling point, Rain approached, his eyes narrowing with suspicion at the sight of Gun. Sensing his friend's discomfort, he stepped in to intervene, placing himself between Sky and his unwelcome visitor.

"Is there a problem here?" Rain asked, his voice tinged with a hint of warning.

But before Gun could respond, a sudden commotion broke out nearby, drawing their attention away from their confrontation. With a sense of relief, Sky seized the opportunity to slip away, his heart racing with the knowledge that he had narrowly escaped a confrontation with his past.

As he hurried to find Rain's car and retrieve his phone, Sky couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the air. With Gun's unexpected appearance serving as a sobering reminder of the dangers that lurked in the shadows, Sky knew that he would need to stay vigilant if he hoped to keep his past from catching up with him.
