“You bastard. How can you laugh right now?”
You promised we’d stand on stage together with the song you wrote…! But you just went off on your own somewhere else! I had been looking forward to the day I could perform your song, I wanted to stand next to you…!
Anger buried itself atop my dread.
“You fucking traitor!”
The curse burst out of me at last. Words I had never intended to say aloud.
“Ha… damn it.”
Biting down hard on my trembling lips did nothing to steady me. Before I could even cover my eyes with my hand, I accidentally saw Sung Sehan’s calm smile.
Why on earth was he the one looking wounded?
“Lee Taegyeong, no take-backs, alright?”
“What… what did you just say?”
The absurdity of his words didn’t even register before he flashed his teeth in a grin.
“Whether you’re still mad or not, we’ve already made up. So, no backing out now.”
