When he overhears a conversation you had with Karina.
As the party buzzed with energy, you and Heeseung navigated through the crowd, enjoying each other's company amidst the festivities. Yet, amidst the laughter and music, there was an undercurrent of tension, particularly from Karina, whose glares seemed to follow you like a shadow.
Needing a moment of reprieve, you excused yourself and headed towards the bathroom, hoping for a brief escape from the brewing tension. But your respite was short-lived as Karina slipped into the room behind you, her presence immediately palpable with hostility.
"Y/N," she began, her tone sharp and accusatory. "Do you honestly believe you're good enough for Heeseung? You're just holding him back, you know."
Her words hit like a blow, stirring up doubts and insecurities you had worked hard to bury. Before you could respond, Karina pressed on, her voice dripping with disdain.
"He deserves someone who can keep up with him, someone like me," she declared, her eyes flashing with arrogance. "You're just a distraction, a temporary fix until he realizes his mistake."
Your throat constricted, the weight of her words threatening to suffocate you. But before you could formulate a response, Karina took a step closer, her intentions clear as day.
TIME SKIP
"Heeseung," she purred, her voice taking on a seductive edge as she turned her attention to him. "I couldn't help but notice how amazing you looked out there on the dance floor. Care to show me a few moves of your own?"
Heeseung's jaw tightened at the thinly veiled attempt at flirtation, his patience wearing thin as he met her gaze with a steely resolve.
Heeseung's patience snapped like a taut rubber band, his usually calm demeanor giving way to a simmering anger at Karina's audacity.
"Karina, I've had enough of your disrespect," he exclaimed, his voice cutting through the air like a blade. "Y/N is not just 'good enough' for me – she's everything to me. She's stood by me through thick and thin, supporting me when no one else did. And unlike you, she doesn't need to resort to petty games to get attention."
His words were like a tidal wave, crashing over Karina with an undeniable force. Yet, Heeseung wasn't finished.
"I won't tolerate you belittling her or our relationship," he continued, his tone unwavering. "You may think you're entitled to me, but let me make one thing clear: I'm with Y/N because I love her, not because of any misguided sense of obligation to you or anyone else."
Each word was a dagger aimed straight at the heart of Karina's arrogance, punctuating the gravity of his commitment to you. And as he turned away, his eyes blazing with determination, it was clear that he would protect you at all costs, no matter the obstacles in his path.
With a pointed look, he turned on his heel and made his way back to where you were waiting, his heart heavy with the weight of the confrontation. But as he reached for your hand and pulled you close, he knew that his place was by your side, no matter what.
In the quiet of the car ride home, Heeseung's grip tightened on the steering wheel, the tension palpable in the air. Yet, as he stole a glance at you, his expression softened, his eyes filled with a quiet determination.
"I'm sorry you had to deal with that," he murmured, his voice laced with sincerity. "But please know that I love you, Y/N. Nothing and no one will ever change that."
As the car hummed along the road, your words hung heavy in the air, laden with doubt and insecurity. Sensing your unease, Heeseung gently pulled the car over to the side of the road, turning to face you with a determined expression.
"Y/N," he began, his voice soft but firm, "I need you to understand something. Karina may be an idol, and yes, we may share certain interests, but that doesn't mean she's better for me."
He reached out to take your hand, offering you a reassuring squeeze. "What we have is special, Y/N. It's not just about common interests or shared experiences – it's about the way you make me feel, the way you understand me in a way that no one else does."
His eyes searched yours, a depth of emotion swirling within their depths. "You're not just my girlfriend, Y/N. You're my confidante, my partner-in-crime, my rock. And I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world."
Your heart swelled at his words, the weight of your doubts lifting with each syllable. You leaned in closer, your hand finding its place in his, their connection unbroken.
"I love you, Heeseung," you whispered, your voice tinged with emotion.
"I love you too, Y/N," he replied, his gaze never wavering from yours. "And nothing and no one will ever change that."
With a reassuring squeeze of your hand, he focused on the road ahead, his resolve unwavering as he guided the car towards home. And as you leaned into his side, the warmth of his love enveloping you, you knew that together, you could weather any storm that came your way.
