It was a sunny day outside, the prominence of spring being in full effect during this time of year.
Jake loved spring, he loved the smell of the flowers, and how nature just looked so lively. But what made his spring perfect this year was you.
You reminded him just of it. Your beauty, the equivalent of a freshly picked flower. The kind that he’d see when he would walk past a small flower shop. The sun couldn’t even compare to how bright you were when you’d smile.
It was weird, how you had such an impact on him, and never once have you guys spoken. He would envy his friends for having a steady friendship with you.
It was even weirder that Jake was infatuated with you, given that you guys had never interacted. But that’s just the effect you had on him.
Jake was like his favorite season, spring.
And like a flower, his love blossomed.
Jake sat in class, his most boring class of all, English. All the professor would do was talk and talk, he couldn’t blame the many kids who fell asleep during it, it was a morning class anyways. His chin is resting on his palm, swinging his pencil in his hand. Until he can hear small sorry’s and excuse me’s.
“Hey is it okay if I sit here?” Jake turns to the culprit and freezes.
It’s you.
Your hair is in a messy bun, and you quite literally look like you just woke up. He’s dumbfounded that you uttered words to him. You stand there awkwardly as students begin to stare at you for blocking the board. He finally snaps out of it, a small blush on his face.
“Yea! Yea of course.” He says muttered out. You whisper a thank you, setting your stuff out and getting your laptop out. That is of course until you notice it’s dead. Nice.
You groan, you didn’t even bring your bag with you. So, feeling a little ashamed you turn to him, tapping his shoulder.
“I’m so sorry, do you have a piece of paper I can borrow.” Your lip is pulled between your teeth and Jake can’t help but think you look so cute. He blinks, malfunctioning once again.
“Um, yeah, here.” He hands it to you and your hand grazes his, immediately making his heart beat faster than it already was. Jake needed to calm down, he wasn’t a teenager anymore, so he needed to stop acting like it.
“Thank you.” You whisper again, leaning in so your guy's shoulders brush one another. Jake doesn’t know what comes over him but he’s whispering back.
“I’m Jake.” And you giggle, covering your smile.
“I know.” His head snaps towards you, blinking once again. Okay, maybe the teenage puppy love antics could wait because oh my god you knew his name?
“I’m Y/n.” You look up at him, and his eyes soften.
He lets out a small laugh, “I know.”
Heeseung and Sunghoon sigh for the umpteenth time after Jake mentions your guy's little interaction.
“Dude she knew my name! She knows who I am!” Jake was thrilled, his cute toothy smile on full display.
“You told us a million times we get it.” Heeseung sighs, and Jake pouts.
“You guys don’t understand.” He sulks, recalling your cute giggle.
"Ask for her number or something. Stop being a pussy." Jake's jaw drops, slowly turning to his friends.
"I can't just ask for it, what if she thinks I'm weird." He bites his lip feeling nervous at the mere thought of it.
"I think you're just overthinking it. You're a hot dude, why would she say no to you." Heeseung says with a wiggle of his brows.
"Relax he's not as hot as me." Sunghoon rolls his eyes and both boys deadpanning.
The next time you have English, you scout the room for Jake. Finding him sat in a corner you pull the seat next to him. Once again Jake is awestruck but he recovers quickly this time.
"Hi." You whisper and he smiles.
"Hi." He whispers back.
He notices you have a bag this time and you move to grab something. You pull out a piece of paper, sliding it to him.
"Thanks for letting me borrow a piece of paper." You mumble and he's amused, his toothy smile making an appearance, causing yours to widen.
"You didn't have to give me one back." He looks at you and you swear your heart skips a beat.
"Just returning the favor." You twiddle with your fingers. Jake smiles at your antics and you both go back to paying attention to the lecture.
However he's distracted, Heeseung’s words plaguing his mind. "Just ask for her number."
This might've been the stupidest thing he's ever done before, not even his high school self pulled a stunt like this.
With the piece of paper you handed him, he's scribbling on it, his hand a little shaky. When he's done he hands it back to you, you look at him but he's already looking back at the board, messing with his lip. You grab the folded paper and open it up.
It read, "I was wondering (small doodle) if I could have your number?" Then right below it, a yes with a happy face and a box. Then a no with a terrible drawing of someone crying and a box next to it.
You stare at it with pure amusement, never in your years of living have you received, something like this. Yes, boys have asked for your number but it'd always be upfront or through other people, so you'd be lying if you thought it wasn't cheesy. But it was also cute and you liked cute things, especially Jake.
You can’t help but giggle, and it makes Jake sweat. You tap on him and he slowly turns, you motion for his phone and he stares at you, not one thought in his head.
“Jake?” He wasn’t even standing up but he could feel himself lose feeling in his legs. He snaps out of it and shakily hands you his phone.
You quickly type in your number, clicking on the photo, and you take a silly picture, making Jake smile from his seat. You hand it back to him and just like that, your lecture is over.
“Text me yeah? Make sure you tell me it’s you.” You smile at him, grabbing your belongings, and making sure to tuck the small paper in your bag. Jake nods mumbling an uh huh and you smile at his dumbfounded face.
It had been a week since you gave him your number. Jake bursts through the doors of the cafeteria, jogging to his friends. Sunghoon and Heeseung share a look and focus their attention back on Jake.
“I did it! I actually did it!” He fistbumps the sky, smiling brightly.
“Did what?” Sunghoon says, munching on his sandwich.
“I got her number.” He almost chokes mid bite, the both of them snapping their head at him.
“You did?!” They yelled in unison. Jake happily nods, ignoring the lame way he asked for it.
“See what did I tell you!” Heeseung slaps his back but Sunghoon looks behind them, smirking.
“Hey Y/n.” He waves and Jake freezes, eyes wide as he stares at Heeseung. Heeseung jerks his head towards you but Jake shakes his head.
“Oh, hey guys! What ya up to?” You smile, waving back. Sunghoon gets up grabbing his things.
“Oh nothing much actually, Jake was just telling us how he was gonna ask you out on a date.” Jake could he feel his soul leave his body and of course, Heeseung plays along.
“Yea, see you later.”
Jake stares dumbfounded at his friends as they walk away. He turns slowly to face you and you look shocked, blinking up at him. He gulps, planning out different ways in his mind how he was gonna make his friends pay.
“You were gonna ask me what now?” You say a small smirk grazing your lips.
Jake lets out a nervous laugh, “O-Oh uh, I don’t know what they were talking about, they’re weird aren’t they? Hey, I’ll text you later okay?-” He says rushed out trying to walk away but your words stop him.
“Aw that sucks, so you weren’t gonna ask me?” Your doe eyes looking up at him do nothing but make him more nervous.
“Well I mean, is that okay?” He nervously says, biting his lip.
“I’d love to.” You smile and he buffers.
“A-Actually?” You giggle.
“Yes actually, text me okay? I gotta head to class.” You say with a small wave walking away.
Although he scored a date with you, it was now time to brainstorm the most perfect date for you.
In all honesty, Jake was stressed. You guys had been texting back and forth and he couldn’t have been more happy. He did end up telling Heeseung and Sunghoon how much he hated them for doing that to him, but also how much he loved them because now he had a date with you.
Bipolar much?
Back to his plan, it wouldn’t be bad for a little walk in the park, right? He was planning to take you to the spot his friends would visit all the time during the spring. However, this time he’d take you instead. Even if it was a first date, this place held a special place in his heart, you didn’t have to know that but he’d love to share it with you.
He doesn’t spoil things too much, only telling you to wear something summery and comfortable.
When he picks you up, he stares at you for a good minute not saying anything. You were wearing a white flowy dress, the more you looked at him the more you could see his eyes sparkle.
“Jake?”
He whispers a sorry, leading you to his car and opening the door for you. As he begins to drive he mumbles.
“You look really pretty.” Drumming his fingers along the steering wheel.
“Thank you, now wanna tell me where you’re taking me.”
He glances at you and shakes his head, turning up the music. You stare at him amused, rolling your eyes playfully you left it at that. The drive was a little far but the view was amazing.
“We’re here, you don’t mind walking a bit right?” He says almost a little nervous. You shake your head and he smiles brightly, you noticed that small things made Jake happy and it is adorable.
He quickly grabs the basket, opening the door for you again. Hesitantly, he holds out his hand. You stare at him and his hand.
“You know so you won’t get hurt?” He awkwardly laughs and you intertwine your hands with him.
As you both walked, Jake talked. It gave you time to observe him, how his lips were softly pointed at the ends, and how expressive he was when he talked. Moved his hand that was intertwined with yours and the other with the basket. He stops abruptly, giving him a confused look you’re about to say something but he beats you to it.
“Do you trust me?” He says, his cute smile in full display.
“No.” You say and he immediately pouts. “I’m joking.” You giggle and he sulks.
“You’re mean, but I’m gonna cover your eyes okay?” You nod and he gently covers your eyes, the other on the small of your back to guide you carefully.
“Ok, you can open your eyes.” He says softly and you gasp at the sight before you.
It’s a field of flowers, a small hill with a huge cherry blossom tree not too far from you guys. You can faintly see a blanket on the grass.
“Oh my god.” You breathe out. It was beautiful but before you could actually bask in the whole view, Jake is nudging you.
“Last one up the hill is a loser.” He takes off in a sprint and you yell for him.
“Jake!” You don’t say anything else chasing after him. You can hear his laugh in the distance as you both run through the flower field, smiles on both of your faces.
“Looks like you’re the loser.” He laughs, catching his breath.
“You cheated.” You say in the same state as well. You both sit down and he pulls out drinks, pouring one for you.
“This place is honestly beautiful Jake. No one’s ever done anything like this for me before.” You gush, playing with the glass. He mentally cheers, turning to you with a small smile.
“This place uh, reminds me a lot of you.” He whispers and you gaze at him curiously.
“Really?” You ask shyly and he nods.
“I know we’ve never really talked but I’ve always admired you from afar, you’re just so beautiful and I know you’re even prettier on the inside.” He smiles and your brows pull together.
With his heart full of you and love in the air, he confesses. “S-Sorry if that’s a lot to take in but uh, I like you a lot.” He fiddles with his lip. He’s unsure of your silence but when he looks up you’re fondly smiling at him.
The birds chirped above you, small petals falling around the both of you. Jake truly was in love, and being with you right here and now was all he needed to see to fully know he wanted you as his.
Before any doubtful words can come out of Jake’s mouth you peck his cheek, reckoning him still.
