Inferiority Kills a Crush

“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.”
