Chapter 17: Moments of Danger

The evening of the date arrived, and Inseong prepared with care. He wore his new shirt, looking casual yet sophisticated, feeling excitement in the pit of his stomach. Jaeyoon was important to him, and the first meeting as a couple gave him a sense of renewal.

When they met outside Jaeyoon's house, the smiles between them conveyed the magical atmosphere of the evening. "Ready?" Jaeyoon asked, and there was something in his eyes that highlighted the moment's significance.

"Ready as I can be," Inseong replied, tense but full of anticipation. "What's the plan for today?"

"I think the live show will be really good," Jaeyoon answered, "but first, I thought we could grab a bite at my favorite place."

"I've heard a lot about it," Inseong said, intrigued. "Let's go!"

During the meal, the conversation flowed easily, with laughter and questions becoming deeper. They talked about dreams, the music they loved, and everything that occupied their thoughts. As time passed, they felt their connection strengthening.

But as the evening settled, everything changed. On their way back from the show, they heard screams behind them. When they turned around, they saw a group of rowdy boys, and in the center stood a boy who looked confused and scared. "Give me your wallet!" one of them shouted, accompanied by the sounds of crashing metal and heavy breaths.

Jaeyoon was horrified, and his instinct to protect the boy kicked in. "No, don't do it!" he shouted, causing the boy to turn toward them with frightened eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Inseong asked, starting to feel his heart race. "Don't get close!"

But Jaeyoon had no intention of backing down. He stepped forward, trying to project confidence. "Leave him alone, he hasn't done anything!" he shouted, his anger rising.

"Don't interfere, smart guy!" one of the boys shouted back. "You don't know who you're dealing with."

As the situation escalated, Inseong ran forward, grabbing Jaeyoon's hand. "What do you think you're doing? You can't fight them!"

"I can't just stand by and watch this happen," Jaeyoon replied, his eyes blazing with anger.

In that moment, one of the boys charged at Jaeyoon, and the pressure on Inseong intensified. "Jaeyoon, get back!" he shouted, but it was too late.

The boy lunged at Jaeyoon, and the two began to struggle. Inseong felt his heart twist as he saw Jaeyoon fighting, trying to hold his own. He couldn't wait, so he jumped in, trying to separate them.

"Leave him alone!" Inseong yelled, grabbing the boy by the arm. It was dangerous, but he couldn't stay on the sidelines.

Moments of chaos passed. Inseong saw Jaeyoon struggling, and suddenly, a strong blow hit him. Inseong felt frustration, the intense emotion of wanting to protect Jaeyoon overwhelming him. "No!" he yelled as he rushed to offer help.

The situation changed quickly, and eventually, the boys, feeling defeated, left the scene. Inseong, Jaeyoon, and the boy stood there, gasping for breath, their eyes filled with fear and shock.

"Are you okay?" Inseong asked, concerned as he approached Jaeyoon, who was panting.

"Yes, I think so," Jaeyoon replied, his face pale. "That was... scary."
