“Why are you all dolled up, baby?” Hyuk crooned, leaning against the doorway of Seyi’s room. Glancing back, Seyi gave him a flat look, “Why are you in my room?” she countered, sliding on a black leather jacket over her plain V-neck.

“Technically I’m not in your room I’m- Yah!” Hyuk stumbled backward, choking a bit as Leo yanked him back by his collar. “ out somewhere else, maknae.” He muttered, stepping into Seyi’s room and slamming the door in Hyuk’s face.

His piercing gaze landed on Seyi. “Where the hell do you think you’re going?” he growled. She looked up from her sleeve, “Out.” She replied with a flatly, fixing her necklace as she walked towards the door.

Leo blocked her way, stretching an arm out, “And you think that’s okay? His men can be out on the streets.” He hissed, refusing to budge. Seyi smirked a bit, “Good thing I haven’t been out of practice.”

She strode past him, putting her hand on the knob, “You know I hate fighting, but this isn’t something you I will let you take away.” She opened the door, storming down the hall and through her shared home.

“Where are you going this late, Seyi?” Ravi called from the kitchen. “It’s only eight.” She replied, sliding on black converse before leaving her home. Even though she knew Leo wasn’t going to let this go, it wasn’t something she was going to allow him to take from her, either.
