Chapter 65: Screams, Tickets, and... Betrayal?!

As the girls jumped into their boyfriends' arms, Nian kissed Dk's cheek with a bright smile.

"Loudie~ I got the concert tickets!" she beamed.

Xuanye hugged Minghao tightly. "Flutterhao~ I got them too!"

The members stood frozen in shock.

Woozi's jaw dropped. "You screamed like that… just for concert tickets?"

Boo nearly choked, his coffee drooling out of his mouth.

Scoups burst out laughing in disbelief.

Hoshi was grinning proudly, arms crossed.

Jeonghan, Joshua, and Vernon all facepalmed at once.

Dino, Jun, and Wonwoo couldn't stop laughing.

Dk, still half-asleep, blinked and mumbled, "Huh… Nian, it's just concert tickets. Why are you screaming like that?"

Nian climbed down from him and crossed her arms. "Yay~ Loudie, do you even know how hard it is to get these tickets?"

Xuanye nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah~ It's our first Seventeen concert! We already missed a few chances. But not this time—we got them!"

Minghao laughed and patted her head. "Ye~ if you wanted tickets, we could've just given you some."

Nian scoffed playfully. "Huh~ Minghao, if you give us tickets like that, it won't feel right."

Mingyu raised a brow. "Why? It's still a ticket, no?"

The girls stared at him in disbelief.

Xuanye explained dramatically, "Mingyu, if you were a CARAT like us—and your favorite group held a concert—you'd know that buying a ticket feels like winning the lottery!"

Nian nodded. "Exactly! The CARATs were waiting like eagles. We fought our way through and claimed our spot."

Mingyu looked at the members and shrugged, half-impressed.

Minghao smiled and gently ruffled Xuanye's hair.

Dk, still drowsy, mumbled something and fell asleep in Nian's arms.

Meanwhile, Jun and Hoshi grabbed Nian's phone, curious to see how they secured the tickets.

As Hoshi was scrolling through, a notification popped up. His eyes widened.

He elbowed Jun in shock and pointed at the message.

Jun's jaw dropped, and he quickly signaled the rest of the members.

One by one, the boys silently crowded behind the sofa, staring at the screen.

Nian and Xuanye turned around, noticing the odd tension.

"Uh... what happened?" Nian asked, confused.

"Did the tickets get canceled?" Xuanye added, her voice trembling.

Dk opened his eyes, peeked at the phone screen, and suddenly lit up. But he quickly composed himself and looked at Nian without saying a word.

Nian narrowed her eyes. "Loudie, is it true?"

Dk stood frozen, still silent.

The boys slowly turned to the girls with a deadpan expression.

Then Jeonghan stepped forward, narrowed his eyes dramatically, and shouted,

"Why did you BETRAY us?!"
