My eyes gazed up to the scarlet colored sky, catching sight of its beauty. A relaxed sigh escaped my lips, as I thought back to the last words I was told by Sangwoo.

"But since you've disobeyed me, I must punish you."

I then began to wonder how I've gone almost a whole day, without encountering him or even speaking to him.

He hadn't spammed me with texts today, at all; and from what I've learned about him since we've met again. This wasn't normal.

The feeling of relief that I felt before was replaced by feelings of concern.

"Jiyeon? Hey!" Blinking several times, I was snapped free from my thoughts by a large, yet feminine like hand being waved into my face.

"Ah, Sorry. Jinyoung." I spoke before adding in a soft smile towards the taller male, and standing on the tips of my toes to ruffle his atramentously colored curls.

A smile formed onto his lips, and it made my heart practically melt.

But my thoughts stopped me from feeling the way I did.

His lightly blush colored lips pressing softly against mine. The gentle, warm, and soothing feeling of his lips when the came in contact with mine so suddenly caused small bumps to rise onto my skin; as my body shivered and accepted the feelings.

The kiss was short and passionate, but that's how I would've described the feeling.

"Uh.. I need to go meet up with a friend of mine." I spoke softly, hoping it wouldn't upset him.

"What's the rush? Who's the friend your trying to meet up with?" A small smirk formed onto his lips, and I knew his true intentions were to tease me.

"Um.. his name is Sangwoo." I was reluctant to answering the sudden question, but what caught my attention more than the odd question he asked; was his reaction.

His once playful expression disappeared from his face. "As in, Oh Sangwoo?" His milky chocolate colored optics shined in the setting sun as they focused towards me.

"Uh..Y-Yeah.. How did you know?" I spoke nervously.

"Because he's my friend." He spoke bluntly.

My eyes widened, I didn't know how to respond to this information. Thinking back to the previous night, when I brought up Jinyoung; Sangwoo seemed to have brushed off the fact that I did.

"I se-"

"Jiyeon."

"Hm?"

"Promise me, you'll try and stay away from h-." He spoke in a hushed tone, as though he knew someone could be eavesdropping on us.

"Ani!" My brows would furrow, and my hands balled into a fist as I interrupted him.

Jinyoung's pov.

"Why?" I balled my hands into fists as well, due to the sudden anger I felt.

I just want to protect you..

"Because! I love him.. and I told him I'd go see him. Why are you acting so strange all of a sudden anyways?!" My heart shattered, as she spoke.

"Fine then. I'll talk to you later.. I guess." With that, I turned to walk in the opposite direction of her.

"Wait-" She called out to me, but I ignored it.

My vision became blurry, and I knew they were filling with tears. "No... men don't cry.." I told myself as I speed walked away, in hopes that she wouldn't come after me.

"Because! I love him.."

The four words that stayed glued to my mind, playing over and over again...

Jiyeon, I won't let him hurt you.
