Part 16 / S2

Someone's PoV
I chose a room at the underground floor because there was a gaming room nearby.
And at the moment I was playing some video games on the computer displayed at the gaming room.

A few moments later , I felt like I heard a few footsteps coming in the gaming room but I was too busy with the game to even care about who it could be.

Soon I won the game and mumbled : "Yes" in victory.
I logged out of the game later as I wasn't in the mood to play anymore , then I took my headphones off of my head and stood up from my chair.
I was about to leave the room when I heard a familiar voice.
I looked to my right only to see a Yn and Heeseung playing PUBG , the same game I was just playing.
They looked happy to be playing together but I shook the thought off and left the room heading up the stairs to the ground floor.

When I went upstairs , I could see that there were still some people unpacking and some who were either watching the tv or just talking to eachother in the living room.
I went to the kitchen to get some cold water from the fridge.
I grabbed a small bottle of water from the fridge and walked back to the underground floor while drinking the water.

Walking slowly , I went down the stairs to my room but before I entered my room , I heard a muffled laughter coming from the gaming room.
My gaze immediately turned towards the direction from where the laughter was coming from.
Again it was Yn and Heeseung playing video games together...
Something about them having fun together made me mad but I didn't interfere because I knew I could trust Heeseung hyung with Yn.
And I still trust Yn with my whole heart.

Yet , I couldn't stop thinking about the way Yn and Heeseung looked so at ease with each other.
The jealousy gnawed at me, even though I knew I had no right to feel this way. After all, I was the one who had started ignoring Yn first.

But it wasn't because I wanted to.
My parents had made it clear: if I didn't distance myself from Yn, they'd push through with arranging a marriage for me to someone else, someone from a family they deemed more "suitable."
It was absurd, outdated, and unfair, but their words carried weight.
They didn't know about Yn, about what she meant to me, and I had to keep it that way.

I thought that by keeping my distance, I was protecting our relationship—keeping it hidden until I could figure out a way to fight back against my parents' wishes.
But seeing Yn with Heeseung made it all feel like it was slipping through my fingers.

What if she thought I didn't care anymore? What if she was moving on, finding comfort in someone else's company because I'd pushed her away?

I paced around my room, my mind racing with these thoughts.
The more I tried to convince myself that it was all for the best, the more I realized how much it hurt.
I wanted to be the one making her laugh like that, the one she turned to when she needed support.
But instead, I was here, stuck in this ridiculous situation, forced to act like she didn't mean everything to me.

I sighed and closed the door shut until there was an announcement to do something.

~ End of his Pov

~ Authour's PoV

You and Heeseung were still fighting against eachother to win the custom match of PUBG.
"YAH HOW COULD YOU!!" You shouted with a smile when he ended up defeating you.
"I WON" Heeseung said in victory.
"AH I WANTED TO WIN!!" You laughed in defeat while covering your mouth with your hand which made it a muffled laugh.
"Nah I deserved the win" Heeseung smirked clearly teasing you.
"Shut up!!" You replied playfully rolling your eyes.

"Hm i am kinda hungry" You said taking off your headphones as Heeseung did the same.
But as you were about to stand up , there was an announcement.
