Mixed Up | Yeonbin

"What the fuck," Yeonjun muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible over the pounding music.

Beomgyu and Taehyun exchanged a glance, neither of them sure what to say. They hadn't expected this. No one had— well they kinda did, but not like this.

"Yeonjun..." Beomgyu started, but Yeonjun wasn't listening anymore.

His entire body went cold, blood draining from his face as the realization hit him like a sledgehammer. This wasn't just some random guy Yuna was dancing with. This wasn't just harmless fun. It was fucking blatant.

He felt like he'd been sucker-punched, the air knocked out of his lungs. Yuna had always been somewhat distant lately, at least emotionally, but this? This was next-level betrayal. In front of everyone.

Without thinking, Yeonjun moved forward, the anger bubbling up inside him like a ticking time bomb. His hands clenched into fists at his sides as he stalked through the crowd, heart hammering in his chest.

"Yeonjun, wait—" Taehyun called after him, but it was too late.

Beomgyu cursed under his breath. "Shit. This is bad."

Hueningkai, still dancing, finally noticed the shift in energy and rushed over to Soobin, who was standing frozen, his eyes wide. "What's happening?" Huening asked, his voice tinged with worry.

Soobin's stomach twisted in knots, dread pooling in his gut. He knew what was happening. He had known for weeks. He should've said something, should've warned Yeonjun, but now? Now it was too fucking late.

Yeonjun reached the edge of the dance floor, his eyes locked on Yuna and the guy. They hadn't even noticed him yet, too lost in their own little world. But when Yeonjun was just a few feet away, Yuna finally looked up, her smile faltering as her eyes met his.

For a split second, the world seemed to stop. The music, the people, the flashing lights—it all faded into the background as Yuna's face paled, her eyes wide with shock.

"Yeonjun..." she breathed, her voice drowned out by the thumping bass.

The guy she was with glanced between the two of them, clearly sensing the tension, but before he could say anything, Yeonjun exploded.

"What the fuck is this?" Yeonjun's voice was raw, laced with anger and disbelief. His heart was pounding, adrenaline surging through him as the betrayal settled in his chest like a burning coal.

Yuna opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. She looked like a deer caught in headlights, eyes darting between Yeonjun and the guy, as if searching for some way out of this mess.

The guy, 'oblivious' to the shitstorm he had just stepped into, raised his hands defensively. What an actor. "Whoa, man, I didn't know she was—"

"Shut the fuck up," Yeonjun snapped, not even sparing him a glance. His focus was on Yuna, his eyes blazing with hurt and anger. "Is this why you've been so 'busy'? This is what you've been doing behind my back?"

Yuna flinched, her composure cracking under the weight of Yeonjun's words. "Yeonjun, I can explain—"

"Explain what? That you're a fucking cheater? That you've been screwing around while I've been—" He couldn't even finish the sentence. The betrayal tasted bitter on his tongue.

The tension between them was suffocating, the weight of it pressing down on everyone. People around them started to notice, whispers spreading through the crowd, but Yeonjun didn't care. All he saw was Yuna. And the truth staring him right in the face.

Soobin stood frozen, watching from a distance, his heart sinking as the scene unfolded.

He had known this moment would come, but that didn't make it any easier to watch. He felt Hueningkai's hand on his arm, squeezing in silent support, but it didn't stop the guilt from gnawing at him.

This wasn't just about Yuna. This was about him, too. He should've told Yeonjun.

But would he have listened?
