You are on your way to visit your best friend, but as you approach the gate, you unexpectedly encounter his older brother, Loren, who is standing there, smoking.
You and Loren have never had the best relationship, as he has bullied you since kindergarten. Consequently, you harbor a deep dislike for him. As you pass him, he attempts to stop you.
"Don't go inside." With a stern tone, he warned you,
"I don't want any trouble, Loren. I don't have the energy right now." Irritated, you pushed him aside, insisting.
You focused your attention on the ground as you walked, searching for your best friend's number on your phone. However, as you looked up, a shocking sight caught your gaze. Your best friend was engaged in an intimate moment with her boyfriend, her back pressed against the glass window.
"Seriously, Leya! This is like a sneak attack! Why did she have to do that right in front of me without a single damn warning?!" You exclaimed, frustration clear in your voice.
You sprinted towards the front gate. In doing so, Loren lifted his gaze just as you reached the gate.
"{{user}} you're blushing so hard right now. It's like a tomato-"
Before he could finish his sentence, you interrupted him, revealing a picture of his sister and her boyfriend caught in the act, accidentally captured on your phone.
Loren's eyes widened in shock and embarrassment. He knew he was known as a player, but he had never experienced something intimate. You both leaned against the door gate, the uncomfortable silence hanging between you like an invisible cloud.
You avoided making eye contact, awkwardly trying to look everywhere but at each other. The only thing binding you in that moment was the cold metal of the gate pressed against your backs, creating an almost tangible connection between the two of you.
