"I see how it is." He says lowly. "So you're her new boy toy?"

I smile bitterly. "Didn't you just say that she's your girlfriend?"

The man approaches the gate until his face is pressed between the rails. His muddy brown eyes slice through mine and I know he's giving me this murderous glare in order to scare me off but it's not working.

"What's your business with Nox?" He asks.

"We're neighbors." I answer.

"Yeah sure." He snorts. "Anyway since you're gonna be hanging around Nox now, you should know that she will never fall for you."

"I don't know Nox all that well." I start and take a step towards him. "But what I do know is that you fucked her up. So keep your distance and leave her be." I add remembering all the hardships Nox has gone through because of him.

He chuckles and I feel like punching that scum. "You care for her. Good." He says. "Just don't catch feelings like that other Asian dude did."

Is he talking about Yoongi?

"Elijah! What the hell are you doing here?" Nox thunders out of nowhere. I turn around to see her walking quickly towards us from her apartment. She's wearing a charcoal hoodie and gray sweats with white stars. Her pink flip flops make scraping sounds against the ground as she rushes towards us. Her jade eyes fall on me and she looks at me in confusion. "What are you doing here Jimin?" She sighs and then her gaze returns to Elijah. "Forget it, just go now. What are you doing here?"

"What? I can't visit my lovely girlie?" Elijah sneers.

"First or all I am not your fucking girlie and second—leave." Nox deadpans.

"You're not the owner of this property." He states.

"No shit. Are you seriously gonna play this shitty game right now?" Nox fires.

"Let me in and let's settle things then." He suggests.

"Like hell I will." She snaps. "I'm gonna say this once Elijah. Leave me and my brother alone. I have nothing to say to you."

"Come on baby please open the door." He pleads.

"Don't fucking call me baby." Nox flares then turns to me and gestures to her apartment. "If he doesn't leave let's just go. He'll get bored either way."

"Nox please—" Elijah continues. "At least come out here so that we can talk."

I think that Nox is slowly losing her patience as she tilts her neck in a weird angle and rolls her eyes enraged. Despite the delicacy of her features, her expression holds anger and this sadness that she's battling within herself. She spins around and dashes towards the gate like an animal. Her hands are gripping on the rails with such intensity that her knuckles turn white and she kicks the metal gate so hard that the metal surface is vibrating.

"I said leave this fucking property you asshole!" Nox finally explodes, her cheeks turn a fiery red and that douchebag just keeps staring at her.

"Nox—"

"Elijah just fucking go." Nox whimpers then detaches herself from the gate. "I don't even want to look at you." Her continuous blinking signifies that she's fighting her tears. She doesn't want to look weak in front of him.

"You're not over me Nox." He says. "I know you still lo—"

"Don't you fucking dare say it." She grits.

She's far from over him. He broke her.

"Let's go Jimin." Nox mumbles and walks away from the gate.
