Jealous • A Bang Chan FF

Chapter Eighteen: Petty

~ YUJIN'S POV ~

Practice had been exhausting, but not in the way I expected. Usually, I loved the burn, the feeling of pushing myself, getting lost in the music with the guys. Thankfully none of them brought up me and Chan, so they probably didn't hear us. But today, my mind was all over the place. Chan was acting completely normal, like last night hadn't happened, which was driving me crazy.

Was it just a one-night stand? Had he just pretended to have feelings for me to get me in bed? No, he was genuinely jealous of V.

Maybe dating in the group is a bad idea, and he just realized that so he hasn't brought up the idea of us, because there shouldn't be an us.

Well if that's the case then fuck him.

I'm not going to initiate a conversation about us if he's the one who wanted me first. And I'm not chasing him.

Maybe I could do something to get his attention. To let him know that that's how I feel about this. If by tonight, Chan wants to act like nothing happened, I could do the same. Two could play that game. Even if it's immature.

Wasn't he jealous of Felix?

As we walked back to the dorm after practice, I stuck close to Felix. Maybe Chan had been jealous of Felix before—so, why not lean into that?

When we got back to the dorm, everyone scattered to do their own thing. I plopped down on the couch next to Felix, making sure to sit a little closer than usual. He didn't seem to notice, but I caught Chan glancing our way from the kitchen.

Perfect.

"Wanna watch something?" Felix asked, flipping through the TV options.

"Yeah, sure," I said, leaning into his shoulder a bit. "Anything's fine with me."

Felix smiled, settling on some random show, and I made sure to laugh at all the right moments, keeping the mood light. But every time Chan walked past, I could feel his eyes on us. He didn't say anything, but I knew he was watching.

A while later, Chan finally sat down on the other side of the room, scrolling through his phone but not really paying attention to anything. I pretended not to notice, focusing on Felix and the show.

But it wasn't long before Chan spoke up. "What are you guys watching?"

His voice was casual, but I could hear the underlying tension. Felix, being as sweet as ever, answered without a second thought. "Just some random show. Wanna join?"

Chan shrugged, standing up and heading toward us. I shifted a little, giving Felix more of my attention. Chan sat down on the other side of the couch, closer than I expected, his arm brushing against mine. I purposely leaned into Felix's chest.

Felix didn't seem to mind at all as I leaned into him, completely oblivious to my true intentions.

I knew what I was doing was petty.

Felix laughed at something on the screen, completely carefree, and I couldn't help but smile. His energy was contagious, and being next to him felt comfortable, natural. I almost forgot what I was trying to do.

Then Chan shifted again, letting out a small sigh. It was subtle, but I could feel the frustration radiating off him. He wasn't going to confront me about this—at least, not in front of Felix.
