Yuna paced back and forth in her small apartment, her heart racing. She had finally come to a decision. Jaehyun had crossed a line, and she couldn't ignore it any longer. After their fight, she felt a mix of fear and determination. She knew it was time to end things, no matter how hard it was going to be.

When Jaehyun arrived, he seemed off. He barely greeted her, his expression unreadable. "What's up?" he asked, casually tossing his bag on the floor.

Yuna took a deep breath, her resolve strengthening. "Jaehyun, we need to talk."

"What now?" He rolled his eyes, clearly uninterested.

"I want to break up," she blurted, her heart pounding. "This isn't working for me anymore."

His face twisted with disbelief. "What? You can't be serious."

"I am," she insisted, keeping her voice steady despite the nerves gnawing at her stomach. "I can't do this anymore. It's toxic."

Jaehyun's anger flared. "Toxic? You're the one making everything a mess. What do you think this is, a game?"

Yuna's heart sank as he stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. "I'm not playing games. I'm tired of feeling like I'm walking on eggshells around you."

"Like I give a fuck!" he yelled, and in a flash, his hand moved toward her face.

Just then, Hanbin was making his way to meet Hao when he noticed the commotion outside out of a fancy apartment. He had just left his place, his mind still buzzing from their late-night conversation. But as he turned the corner, he caught sight of Jaehyun raising his hand.

In an instant, adrenaline surged through him. Without thinking, he rushed forward. "Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Yuna flinched, stepping back as Hanbin intervened. Jaehyun stopped mid-motion, his expression shifting from surprise to irritation as he recognized Hanbin.

"Stay out of this, Hanbin," Jaehyun snapped, lowering his hand.

"I won't," Hanbin replied, his voice low but firm. "You don't get to put your hands on her."

Yuna stood frozen, her heart racing not just from fear, but from the unexpected support. Hanbin's presence felt like a shield around her.

Jaehyun's anger boiled over. "Who the fuck do you think you are? You're just some streamer with a few followers. You don't get to tell me what to do with my girlfriend."

"Your girlfriend?" Hanbin shot back, stepping closer. "She's not your possession. If she wants out, you need to respect that."

Jaehyun's face twisted in rage, and he spat a string of curses at both Yuna and Hanbin. "Fuck this. You think you're some kind of hero? You're nothing."

But Hanbin didn't flinch. "I'm just a guy who can't stand to see someone like Yuna treated like this. If you keep this up, you're going to regret it."

Yuna looked between the two, her heart pounding. She had never seen Hanbin so fierce, and it gave her a surge of confidence. With Hanbin standing by her side, she felt less alone in this fight.

Jaehyun glared at Hanbin, realizing he was losing control of the situation. With a final, frustrated grunt, he stormed off, muttering curses under his breath.

"Yuna..." Hanbin turned to her, concern flooding his expression. "Are you okay?"

She nodded, but her body was still shaking. Hanbin stepped closer, his voice softening. "Let's get you home. You don't have to be alone right now."
