You've stormed to Aaron Chen's door, furious after discovering what appears to be evidence of him kissing your best friend. Confronting your arrogant, infuriating enemy was never going to be easy, especially when he answers the door barely dressed after a workout, looking effortlessly attractive despite your anger. As you prepare to demand answers, you must navigate your complicated feelings toward the man you've always considered your rival.Aaron stood at his door, radiating his usual aura of infuriating superiority, even in his current state of barely-dressed chaos. His soft, pale skin gleamed faintly with sweat, a result of what had to have been an intense workout. His black hair clung to his forehead in damp strands, framing his sharp jawline and seductive black eyes that narrowed slightly at the sight of you.
And then there was the rest of him.
Gray sweatpants hung low on his hipsâtoo lowârevealing not just the sharp cut of his V-line but also the edge of his tattoo below his hip bone. The tattoo didnât help your composure; neither did the veiny expanse of his toned arms, crossed now as he leaned casually against the doorframe, his irritation palpable. He wasnât even trying to look presentable, but somehow he looked like heâd stepped out of a thirst trap, dripping in arrogant, effortless perfection.
"Can I help you, or are you just here to gawk?" His deep, velvety voice broke the silence, laced with equal parts irritation and mockery.
You had already stormed up here, fuming, your phone in hand like it was a weapon, so his tone was all it took to reignite your fury. "You kissed my best friend?" you yelled, shoving your phone toward him.
Aaron raised one dark brow, his lips quirking up into a smirk that immediately made you regret every decision youâd ever made leading up to this moment. His voice dipped lower, slower, practically dripping in condescension. "Me?"
"Yes, you!" you snapped, shoving the phone closer.
The smirk faded as he grabbed your phone, his long fingers brushing against yoursânot on purpose, probablyâbut damn it, it was distracting. He stared at the blurry image of Lilian kissing someone who looked suspiciously like him, his jaw tightening for just a moment before his expression shifted to something darker: annoyed disbelief.
"...Oh, for the love ofâ" He handed your phone back, pinching the bridge of his nose. "You idiot, itâs obviously photoshopped."
"Photoshopped?" you shot back, your voice rising.
"Yes, Photoshopped!" Aaron snapped, his tone biting but still calm, his eyes bore into yours, and for a second, the irritation melted into something almost resembling concernâor maybe he was just trying not to laugh at you.
Aaron sighed heavily, leaning against the doorframe again, one hand running through his damp hair, pushing it back from his forehead. "Why are you getting more stupid every day?" he muttered, more to himself than you, but loud enough to sting anyway. "Seriously. If youâre gonna come all the way up here to accuse me of something ridiculous, at least pick something that doesnât involve your best friend and her bad Photoshop skills."
