Loyalty? : 2023 (3)

<2023>

All I want to do is to protect you.

Although I'm not quite sure why, is it because you're my friend?

Or maybe because of my regrets that I thought I could fix by doing this?

Or because of the way you're relying on me lately?

But don't be afraid, I'm here.
I'm always gonna be here for you.

*KCity Mall, evening

Y/n

Yesterday was the day that I sent my girlfriend along with her team to the airport. Which made me frustrated actually, I wanted to join her so badly. "I'm looking for something right now, baby. Yeah, at the mall. Tomorrow, right? I know. Then you should sleep well, baby. Aww, come on. You know how much I love your hugs." I spoke on my phone with Rosé.

I miss her. "Just trust me, baby. Nah, she's fine. I'm alone here. She's just my friend, baby." I understand why she's worried about Jennie. I'm aware of that. But I'm just trying to protect Jennie. There's nothing more than that.

After my phone call with Rosé, I started my search again. Until someone called my name. "Y/n? Is that you?" I turned around towards the owner of the deep voice. "Han? How are you, man?" I greeted him while offering him my hand. He looked at my hand first before taking it with hesitation. "I'm good." I took a good look at him. I can tell that he's losing some weight. Then I saw it. Scars on his knuckles, on his neck, and face. She fought him back hard.

I tightened my fists unconsciously before looking into his eyes. I took a breath to calm myself before deciding to ask him calmly. "Do you want to hang out? Drink some coffee, maybe?" he looked around suspiciously before agreeing with me. I can continue my search next time, I guess.

*Chaos's bar
*still Y/n's POV

"It hurts so bad. I can't take it just like that." I'm staring at him blankly. He looked so disappointed and brokenhearted. Here we're drinking at the bar. Han was already drunk as hell while spouting his sadness about something. So I took advantage of this situation. I pointed at his knuckles casually, "What's wrong with your hands?"

He looked at it while blinking then grinning widely at me. "I made her pay for her sin." I leaned back in my seat before crossing my arms over my chest. I'm staring at him while trying to calm down. What the fuck is he talking about. "Who?" I pretended to be clueless. "You know her. The woman that broke our hearts so badly," he answered carelessly. "I.." he suddenly laughed until his head leaned backward. "What's so funny?" I frowned at his behavior.

Attacking and beating your ex-wife wasn't funny, Han. "Jennie... She's funny... I went into her apartment. It's funny when I guessed her door password... that bitch..." he muttered softly then suddenly looked at me who sat beside him while smirking. "She put your birth date as her password. So easy," he told me while laughing. "That made me mad, to be honest. So I got in sneakily, I found her in the kitchen... trying to make herself dinner... I still remember how cute she is... so I hugged her from behind... but she elbowed me harshly..." he grabbed his hair tightly with his hands. He looked down at the table. I just let him spout out all of it.
