You take a step back, but he grabs your wrist and pulls you towards him, pressing your chest against his.

"Why are you with him, baby?" Heeseung questions, his voice dripping with jealousy and anger.

"It's none of your business." You hiss in irritation, avoiding his gaze as you attempt to free yourself, yet his hold on you is firm.

He forcefully pushes you against the wall, keeping you pinned. Securing both your wrists above your head, he uses his other hand to lift your chin, forcing eye contact.

"Screw you." You hiss at him again, your words heavy with disgust and anger. Your heart was racing fast because you were afraid of what he would do to you.

Despite your efforts to break free, his strength surpasses yours.

"Tell me, baby. Why are you with him, hmm?" He questions again, his tone softening as he gazes down at you.

"We're on a date." You reply, shooting him a piercing glare.

He scans you up and down before locking eyes, gently caressing your cheeks with his finger.

"I know you went to the bathroom to puke. Is your eating disorder still not gone?" He expresses, his voice tinged with feigned concern.

However, it was all fake.

"Why do you care, asshole?" You retort coldly, pushing against him.

"Because I'm your ex, and I still care about you!" He fires back, his true feelings spilling through.

Suddenly, Jay's voice interrupts, "What the fuck is happening here?!" You hear Jay's voice and see him standing behind Heeseung.

Heeseung releases his grip on you and turns around. "Hey there, buddy." He taunts Jay.

Jay's expression darkens like a brewing storm as he strides toward Heeseung, seizing him by the collar and slamming him against the wall.

"Stay away from her." Jay commands firmly, his gaze piercing and jaw clenched.

Witnessing this side of Jay surprises you, finding it unexpectedly attractive.

Heeseung smirks, tilting his head challengingly. "Or what?" He provokes, prompting Jay to push him harder.

"Or you'll regret it. You have no idea what I'm capable of, Heeseung." Jay threatens, causing Heeseung to throw his head back in laughter.

Feeling uncomfortable under the public's watchful eyes, you interject, "Jay, let it go. Let's just leave." You whisper, grasping his arm.

Jay hesitates, looking at you intently. "Are you sure?" He questions.

"Absolutely, without a doubt. He's not worth it." You assure him, and Jay, after a final glance at Heeseung, he releases his hold.

Taking your hand, he leads you out of the restaurant. He walks you to his car and opens the passenger door for you.

As you enter, he takes the drivers seat. Leaning back, he runs his hand through his hair in frustration.
