The front door slammed shut, jolting Yeosang from the pages of his book. His head snapped up, and he quickly checked his phone. His eyes widened at the time—almost 3 a.m.

Despite the late hour, Yeosang couldn't bring himself to sleep. He'd been restless all night, anxiously awaiting the return of the Horizon members from their earlier job. He didn't know what the mission had entailed, but he was just relieved they were all back, safe and accounted for.

"Leave me alone!" Mingi's agitated voice rang out from the foyer, breaking the silence.

Yeosang set the book down on the coffee table and got up, moving cautiously toward the source of the commotion. He pressed himself against the kitchen wall, hidden in the shadows, as he watched Mingi storm upstairs with Yunho trailing close behind.

"Mingi, stop being stubborn! I didn't mean it like that, and you know it!" Yunho called after him.

"Oh, sure! Calling me stupid right after I tell you I'm in love with you is hilarious, Yunho!" Mingi shot back, his voice thick with anger and hurt.

Yeosang furrowed his brows, listening intently as their voices receded up the stairs. Yunho mumbled something, too low for Yeosang to catch, but it clearly set Mingi off. Moments later, Mingi stormed back down, his heavy steps shaking the floor. He shoved Yunho hard in the shoulders.

"You wanna say that again, huh?" Mingi challenged, his voice shaking.

"Hey!" Seonghwa rushed into the scene, wedging himself between the two. "What the hell's going on?"

Mingi's jaw clenched as he bit the inside of his cheek, his glassy eyes fixed on Yunho, who stood rigid and tense.

"It's nothing. Forget it," Mingi muttered bitterly before stomping back upstairs, his door slamming so hard it rattled the walls.

Yeosang flinched at the sound, his heart aching.

Seonghwa turned to Yunho, his expression a mix of confusion and concern, silently demanding an explanation. Yunho, however, just sighed heavily.

Mingi's probably crying his heart out, Yeosang thought bitterly, his frustration with Yunho flaring. Why wasn't he doing anything to fix this? Instead, he was making it worse!

"Yunho—" Seonghwa began, his voice laced with disappointment.

"I don't wanna hear it," Yunho cut him off, waving dismissively as he trudged upstairs to his room without a backward glance.
