Chapter 38 - The Dungeon Incident

Yejun walked into the dungeon, head down, arms crossed. The walls felt like they were closing in on him, and he hated that it wasn't the first time he'd been here, but it was the first time it felt like he actually had to be here. It was the last place he wanted to be.nThe echo of his boots hitting the cold stone floor made everything feel lonelier than it needed to be. But when his eyes landed on Doyun, leaning casually against a pillar, it suddenly felt like a damn ticking time bomb. Doyun's smirk was already in place, his posture relaxed like he didn't give a damn, and yet, there was something about him that screamed "I'm in control here." He didn't even need to speak for Yejun to feel it in his gut. "So, you actually showed up. What, you planning to get your ass kicked again, or is today the day you actually try?" Doyun's voice was smooth, like butter, and dripping with that cocky arrogance Yejun had come to hate.

Yejun rolled his eyes and didn't even look up. "You know, it's cute when you try to act like you're in charge. Too bad everyone's already figured out you're just a spoiled brat with too much time on your hands" Doyun chuckled, clearly unfazed. "Is that so? Funny, because you look like you're just mad you can't stand the fact that I'm way more useful than you'll ever be." Yejun's fists clenched at his sides, but he bit his tongue. He wasn't about to give Doyun the satisfaction of getting a rise out of him. "You think you can talk down to me because you come from some big name family? I couldn't care less," Yejun snapped, stepping closer, trying to assert himself. Doyun's eyes flicked to him, his gaze like a challenge. "You keep saying that, but you don't really mean it. You know you're just pissed because you can't keep up. Everyone knows you're nothing but a mess, Yejun." He took a step forward, a smirk dancing on his lips. "Maybe that's why you keep coming to me. You want someone to fix you." Yejun wanted to punch him right then and there. But he held himself back, leaning in close enough to feel Doyun's breath on his skin, his anger simmering beneath the surface. "You're a damn joke."

"Yeah, I know," Doyun responded, his tone lower, almost teasing now. "But you keep looking at me like you want something more. What's that about, princess?"

Yejun's face flushed with anger, but also… something else. He hated how Doyun's words always had a way of getting under his skin. Hated how the guy made him feel like he was supposed to be something more than just a screw up.

"I'm not your damn princess," Yejun growled, pushing him away with a sharp shove. "Keep your stupid little fantasies to yourself."

Doyun raised an eyebrow, not backing down. "Keep pretending, Yejun. But we both know you like the attention."

"Fuck off," Yejun spat, glaring at him. He didn't even care that the dungeon was cold and dark. It wasn't the place that had him worked up it was Doyun.

"You just can't stand it, can you?" Doyun's smirk never faded. "I make you crazy. And you know what? I think I like that." This was seriously getting on Yejuns nerves, he knew this was all stupid ass etasing from Doyun, he hated him more then Yejun hated him... Did someone dare Doyun to tease him or some shit? Cause what the actual fuck, "I make you go crazy" supposed to mean, oh he sure does with those annoying comments, feels like torture when I hear that voice. Yejun balled his fists, ready to take a swing, but before he could, Doyun took a step back, shaking his head. "You don't get it, do you?"

"Shut up," Yejun bit out, not wanting to admit that, maybe

Doyun shrugged nonchalantly, pushing off the pillar and looking Yejun up and down. "Fine, keep pretending. But don't act like I don't know what's really going on inside that head of yours."

See, just what he was saying, this guy is up to get Yejun annoyed.

Yejun's teeth ground together, and he spun on his heel, heading for the exit. He wasn't about to give Doyun the satisfaction of seeing him flustered. "Run away, darling," Doyun's voice followed him, but Yejun didn't stop. He couldn't, even though a part of him wanted to turn around, punch Doyun in the face, and drag him into something he wasn't ready for.
