FATED

{23} ANGRY

"And at the end of the day, he knew where to find his solace."

After some more conversation with the girls, Seungcheol and Joshua joined them. Chloe looked around and asked, "Where's Jeonghan?"

Joshua sighed and replied, "Still with his best friend."

Yura's face fell at his words, and Seungcheol, sensing her discomfort, quickly suggested, "Should we all go for a swim? The whole hotel is booked for the wedding, so no one will be in the pool. It might help ease the tension."

Everyone agreed. Joshua then asked, "Should I call Jeonghan to join us?"

Yura shook her head, her voice firm. "No, I'll call him."

She dialled his number, but it went straight to voicemail. Frustrated, they decided to go upstairs and change. As they waited for the elevator, Yura saw Jeonghan and Jihye inside when it arrived, making her anger flare.

She entered the elevator, trying to stay calm, and noticed Jeonghan talking with someone, which explained why he didn't pick up her call.

Yura shifted closer to him, clinging to his arm possessively. Jeonghan noticed and put his hand on her waist while telling the person on the phone, "I'll call you back."

Jihye reached her floor and left silently, sensing the tension. Yura continued to cling to Jeonghan as they arrived at their suite. Once inside, she immediately went to change without saying a word.

Jeonghan, sensing the coldness in the air, tried to speak. "Yura, we need to talk about this."

But Yura cut him off, her voice icy. "Change. We're going for a swim."

Jeonghan sighed, feeling the widening gap between them. He knew they needed to address their issues, but it seemed like the right moment was always out of reach. He silently went to change, feeling the weight of the unresolved tension pressing down on him.

Yura came out of the bathroom after changing and saw Jeonghan talking to someone. She assumed it was the same person he told he would call back in the lift. Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. Yura went to open it and saw Jihye standing in front of her.

"What are you doing here, Jihye?" Yura asked.
