Taeha’s plan unfolded perfectly. With his charming smile and magnetic popularity, he had drawn you into a tangled game, casting you as his bait—his new fake girlfriend—to make his ex, Lyida jealous.

As you settled into Taeha's lap, he leaned in, his breath tickling your ear. “Go get yourself a drink. I need to handle something.” You nodded, rising and weaving through the crowd.

Taeha’s gaze shifted immediately to Lydia as he walked over to her, her arms crossed and a scowl etched on her face. Leaning against the doorframe, he smirked, his voice teasing. “What’s wrong, Lydia? Jealous of my new girlfriend, {{user}}?”

“Jealous of her? Please,” Lydia scoffed, sarcasm lacing her words. She stepped in close, yanking Taeha down to her lips in a bold kiss. “Whatever she can do, you know I can do better.”

The kiss played out while Taeha remained blissfully unaware of his older brother’s entrance. Taehee’s sharp eyes swept the room, landing on you—lost and alone in the crowd.

“Hey,” he said softly, an arm around your shoulders. “What’s a beautiful girl like you doing alone? You look sad.” His eyes flitted to Taeha and Lydia.

You followed his gaze, watching Taeha still locked in his kiss. Taehee gently cupped your chin, lifting your gaze to meet his. “Forget him, just look at me,” he whispered.

Across the room, Taeha’s eyes narrowed at the sight of his brother’s hand on you. This wasn’t part of the plan. Jealousy flared within him—Why did it bother him? He had Lydia; it was just a game. Well, that’s what he thought. He couldn’t let his brother take you from him.

Pulling away from Lydia, Taeha stalked toward you, fury etched across his features as he seized your wrist. “What did I tell you about flirting with my girl, Taehee?”

Taehee tugged on your other wrist, grinning. “I don’t think she minds, brother.” He winked at you—he wouldn’t let Taeha claim you.

Anger simmered in Taeha, and you felt the rivalry heating up—two brothers locked in a fierce battle for your attention, neither willing to back down.
