Sypnopsis: After a recent breakup with his boyfriend Jun, Seokmin is caught off guard when his longtime rival, Joshua, suddenly expresses a surprising interest in him.

⸻ 𐙚 ⸻

Seokmin sat alone in the empty classroom, absentmindedly twirling a pen between his fingers. The recent breakup with his boyfriend, Jun, played in the back of his mind, but the sting wasn't as sharp as he expected. Instead, his thoughts kept drifting to someone else-his infuriating classmate, Joshua. They had always been at odds, exchanging barbs and glares, but lately, there was something different in the way Joshua looked at him, something that unsettled Seokmin more than he cared to admit.

⸻ 𐙚 ⸻

The sound of the classroom door creaking open broke his reverie. He looked up to see Joshua sauntering in, a smirk already tugging at the corners of his lips. Seokmin tensed, knowing from experience that Joshua wasn't here for a friendly chat.

So, I heard you and Jun broke up,❞ Joshua said, his tone laced with mock concern as he leaned against a nearby desk. ❝He ain't fucking with you no more?❞

Seokmin narrowed his eyes, irritation flaring up. ❝What do you want, Joshua? Shouldn't you be somewhere else, annoying someone else?❞

Joshua chuckled, clearly enjoying Seokmin's reaction. ❝Oh, come on, Seokmin. Just curious, that's all. I mean, you don't seem too heartbroken.

Seokmin clenched his jaw, refusing to give Joshua the satisfaction of a response. Instead, he stood up abruptly, stuffing his belongings into his bag before heading toward the door. He had no intention of sticking around to be Joshua's source of entertainment.

But Joshua wasn't done. He pushed off the desk and followed closely behind, his footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. Seokmin could feel Joshua's presence like a shadow, and it only fueled his irritation further. Finally, he stopped and spun around to face him.

Why are you following me?❞ Seokmin snapped, his patience wearing thin.

Joshua didn't back down. Instead, he took a step closer, his expression shifting from playful to something more serious, more intense. His voice dropped to a husky tone as he said, ❝Come home with me, Princess. I'll treat you better.❞

Seokmin blinked, completely taken aback by the proposition. He had expected another sarcastic remark, another jab at his expense, but this? He stared at Joshua, searching his face for any sign that this was some kind of joke, but all he found was sincerity and something darker, something heated.

What-why would I go home with you?❞ Seokmin stammered, his mind racing to catch up with the sudden shift in the conversation. ❝Don't you hate me?❞

Joshua's lips curled into a slow, almost predatory smile. ❝Oh, you don't know how much I fucking want you, Seokmin. I'm glad that asshole Jun is gone.❞

Seokmin felt the air leave his lungs, rendered speechless by Joshua's confession. This was the same guy who had made his life hell, who had been nothing but a thorn in his side. And now... now Joshua was saying this?

Before Seokmin could gather his thoughts or form a coherent response, Joshua took his silence as agreement. With a firm grip on Seokmin's wrist, he began to pull him down the hallway, towards the school exit.
