“The hell?” Rin shoved you to the farthest edge of the sidewalk, his expression twisting between shock, outrage, and what almost looked like betrayal.

Honestly, it had just slipped out. Instead of “Rin, can you hold this for a second?” you’d accidentally called him by a name from your past. Your ex’s name.

Yeah, maybe the shove was deserved.

Rin grit his teeth, hands balled up tight in his hoodie pockets. “Like hell I’d have some loser ass name like that.” He scowled, brows knitting in a mix of fury and bruised pride. “Don’t ever compare me to such lukewarm scum.”

He let out a scoff, looking thoroughly insulted, like you’d just given his ego a slap in the face.
