If there was a man you knew you could always count on, it would be your dad. He was always there for you, never broke your heart and  always believed you would achieve whatever it was you wanted to achieve.

When you first received the news, your heart shattered. You were having a great day with him, a father-daughter date just a few months after you found out your parents were planning on divorcing. But then he started coughing out blood, you remember how traumatized you were, the paramedics had to do a check up on you. It was horrible.

But here you were now, almost two years later, at the same fair you had been when you first found out.

“Let me win you a stuffed animal.” You wiggled your eyebrows, making your dad laugh as he took the cotton candy from your hand to let you play the game.

You were the youngest out of four, so naturally, you were your dad’s favorite. Sure, he loved all of his children equally, but he saw himself in you. The strong part and the weak part, but at the same time, he knew how much stronger you were than him.

“We’re going to be here all day if you keep trying to win me something, hon.”

You scoffed at his comment. He was right, unfortunately. You were never good at this kind of games, maybe at Mario kart, but never at the ones that had targets

“Dude, I swear I’ll win you something! Even if it’s the littlest thing ever!” You shot the gun, hitting the target. You cheered loudly, earning a few looks from other people.

You turned to your dad who also cheered, giving you thumbs up. You smiled proudly and kept playing, and after a while, you won a stuffed animal. A very small one, but it was a stuffed animal.

“Well, will you look at that? My daughter is not a failure. I’m proud.” He held the stuffed animal to his heart. You hit his arm, making him laugh. “I’m joking. You did great, kiddo.”

“Well, duh!” You rolled your eyes playfully.

He gave you your cotton candy back and you took a big bite out of it, the candy sticking to your face. And it was at that moment where your dad realized you were just a little girl to him, his little girl.

And funnily enough, you didn’t even like cotton candy like that. You just bought it because your dad thought it was your favorite, you accepted it of course, you didn’t want to disappoint your dad. He was the last person you wanted to disappoint.

A few hours later, you and your dad were walking across town after leaving the fair. You stumbled across a tteokbokki stand and obviously had to buy some. So now, you were sitting on one of the few empty benches, both hungrily stuffing your mouth with the tteokbokki.

“This reminds me of the tteokbokki I used to buy after school.” You said between bites.

Your dad scrunched his nose in disgust. “Is that why you never ate at home?” He asks.

You froze then continued eating, shaking your head. “I don’t like mom’s cooking.” You confessed, making him laugh out loud.

“Don’t be mean.”

“It’s the truth!” You sputtered as you swallowed the food. “Seriously, went oh first left, the house smelled like it was being burnt down. I’m being serious.” He laughed, making you laugh. “Don’t laugh!”

He covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing, making you smile widely, eyes completely shut.

“Okay, so,” he poked his food. “Tell me about your life lately, hon. Any drama?” You furrowed your eyebrows at his question, making him shrug. “Can a dad not want to be in the drama?”

You snorted. “You’re so weird.”

“You are the only one who seems to think that.”

You played with your food and shrugged. “I’ve been good. No drama…that bad.” You answered.

Your dad hummed, “that was a little sus…”

“You did not just say sus, dad.” He chuckled, “fine, I’ll give you tea. Supposedly, a girl from my school bewitched Jaeyun to make him fall out of love with me or something,” you shrugged casually.

“That’s insane.” He said, “would you hate me if I said I believed it’s true?” You stared at him, “that kid’s in love with you. No spell could make him feel otherwise.”

“Were you…were you not there when I told you what happened before I left for New York?” You tilted your head in confusion.

He nodded. “Of course I was, sweetheart. You guys are young, you go through things all the time, it’s part of life.”

“Should I be taking advice from someone who got cheated on by the same person they’ve been with since they were seventeen?”

He gasped, held his heart and frowned. “Throw a dagger at my heart and it would’ve hurt less, honey.” 

You chuckled, “Sorry.”

Your dad nodded and placed his utensil on the plate. “Maybe not advice, but when your mother and I first started dating, we also had our ups and downs in university. It’s a big change of scenery, people change. And sometimes it does damage relationships but that’s why we communicate with each other.” You stayed silent during his talk, “Now, I don't know what you kids are up to now-a-days, but I do know rumors are a huge thing around your generation–like to ruin relationships and everything. Jakey was dumb to believe that girl’s words over yours, bewitched or not, and let me tell you,” He gestured you to scoot closer, and you did. “He’ll regret those words forever. They will haunt them whether you forgive him or not. Because now he knows he treated you wrong, he should’ve known from the start, but that's what we call progress. It takes time to fix your mistakes. Jakey is a good boy, he’ll learn from his mistakes. But you don’t have to forgive him if you think it’s what’s best.”

You frowned, not really knowing what to say.

“I know he still loves you dearly. Just like how I love your mom.”

At that, you looked up at your dad. “You still love her? After what she did to you?”

He shrugged, a sincere smile appearing on his lips, eyes sparkling. “It’s hard to let go of someone you’ve loved for a very long time.”

You nodded, a sudden memory of Jake running through your mind. “I spoke to him on Christmas, he told me he saw you…did you guys talk?”

He chuckled and nodded.

“Don’t you worry, child.” You rolled your eyes, making him smile. “I had to make him open his eyes, just gave him a small piece of advice.”

“And you’re not going to tell me what it is, huh?”

“That’s a conversation I hope he has with you one day.”

After hours of being outside, you and your dad finally arrived at his house. The last time you were here, he passed out and you had to go to the hospital. This time, you were hoping nothing like that would happen again.

“Ah, I like this weather.” He said, taking off his coat and putting it on the armrest of the couch.

You smiled at him and nodded, taking off your shoes then made your way inside. Your eyes immediately flew to the table, where a small bouquet of flowers– very familiar ones – stared right at you. “Who got you these flowers?” You asked, letting your fingers leave a delicate touch to them.

Your dad glanced at you, still untying the laces to his shoes. “Uh, Jakey came by a few days ago.” He casually said. “Can you water them? I keep forgetting to do so.” He asked.

You nodded even though he couldn't see and let your hand fall from the flowers. You shook your head and moved to the kitchen, grabbed a small cup of water and made your way back to the table where the flowers sat. You watered the plants slowly, too focused as if they were your own. Jake had visited your dad. Why?

“We had a good chat. Told me he’s seeing a therapist.” Your dad snapped you out of your thoughts as you nodded, turning to him. “He came by to wish me an early birthday.” He explained.

“Did he?”

He nodded.

You nodded back.

Something that you always adored about Jake was how good he got along with you dad. You didn’t think that after all this time, he still made time and the effort to see him. It only reminded you of how nervous he was to meet him for the first time even though they had already met, and how your dad was playfully planning to tease him just to see how he would react. It was bittersweet.

“They’re pretty.” You complimented the flowers before walking into the bedroom your dad had built for you. The same room where he kept the remaining withered flowers of the first bouquet Jake had given your dad when they officially met after he asked you out.

“You’re being so dramatic.”

“I’m not being dramatic. Your dad’s scary.”

Jake whispered as you let him inside the house. With a small laugh, you said, “you play basketball every Sunday with him.”

“He’s a very scary man, Y/n. What if he kills me?”

“I doubt he will.” You whispered back, entering the kitchen where the rest of your family were. “He likes you too much.”

“Hi.” Jake awkwardly waved the flowers in his hands, a few petals falling to the floor.

“Oh God.” You snorted, making Jake quickly pick up the petals and hand the flowers to your mom and dad.

“Flowers for me?” Your dad took his hand to his chest, “I’ve never received flowers.” He turned to your mom and frowned. “I can’t fake it anymore.”

He turned to Jake, whose eyes widened when he approached him and gave him a tight hug. “You and I will have a conversation, young boy. But other than that, welcome to the family!” He exclaimed.

Jake laughed nervously, hugging him back as he gave you a side eye, screaming for help. You giggled, walking over to your mom. “Please help him.” You muttered.

“Honey, leave him alone!”

Your dad quickly pulled away from the young boy. Jake’s ears warmed up, making him shyly smile as he walked to your side, “I just thought it’d be a nice gesture. I hope it wasn’t too much, sir.” He bowed.

“It’s perfect, future son-in-law.”

You covered your face in embarrassment, making the others laugh.

You fell back on the bed, looking at the white ceiling in thought. You couldn’t help but to wonder; what if your mother never cheated on your dad? What if what happened with Jake never did? Would you still be a happy family today? Have dinners like the ones you used to have? The thoughts ran through your mind so much, you hadn’t even realized you’d fallen asleep. You didn’t even realize when your dad came into your room to wish a good night and kiss your temple like he always did, pulling the blanket on you so you would be cold.

mars yap the way I disappeared on y'all hehe sorry my only classes are harder than I expected RAH....okay next chapter...okay yeah bye...it's in Jake's pov....

It was way past midnight, and you and the girls had just barely made it back to your apartment. Compared to them, you were really drunk, stumbling on the hallway on the way to the apartment as Aeri held you. You had never gotten drunk like this. Never wanted to. Never needed to. But when you happen to live in a world where the possibility of a girl you don’t know cursing your boyfriend and ruining your whole relationship could be true, made you actually want to drown in alcohol and just die. Fortunately, your friends knew when it was time to go home.

“Is she dead?”

The three girls stared silently at you. You were in fact–not dead, just simply lying on your bed as your weight sunk down on it. Eyes twitching, loud snoring, Yizhuo shook her head. “She’s just sleeping.”

“Someone kill me.” You mumbled against the pillow under you.

“Nevermind.” Yizhuo added.

 “I don’t want to live in a world where a witch actually cursed my boyfriend into not loving me anymore.” The girls looked at each other, trying to think of what to say. “Why can’t we all just love each other in peace like normal people?”

“Like that’s ever going to happen.” Yizhuo hit Yunjin’s arm, making her groan. “What? It’s the truth.”

“Y/n,” Aeri cut them off to shake you. “Babe, what can we get you?”

You mumbled something incoherent, making the girls side-eye each other.

“I kind of didn’t catch that.” Yunjin muttered under her breath, earning a glare from the other two. She gave them a side-smile and turned to you, her index finger poking your cheek. “Do you need a hug? Some water?”

“I need Jake.”

Everyone froze, moving their lips yet no words came out of their mouths. The sound of your heartbeat being the only noise there was in the bedroom. You were piss drunk, the girls knew that, but they also knew that drunk words…were sober thoughts. And they definitely knew that what you just said was a thought that you had buried in the deep end of your brain.

“What about, hmm–how about we get you someone else?” Yizhuo suggested, making you sob into the pillow.

“I just miss being with Jake.” You said quietly.

Yunjin’s lips formed into a thin line as she turned around, scratching her neck. “Well, should we get him?” She asked, shrugging as if it were a casual question.

“What? No. How is she supposed to heal from the shit he did if he’s here?” Yizhuo whispered.

The redhead shrugged dramatically, shoulders and hands raised. “I don’t know, man. I’m just saying, didn’t she take care of him that one time he called her drunk as fuck?”

“I can hear you.”

The three girls turned to you. You were sitting on the bed with your hair all over the place and a tightened smile. “I’m drunk, not deaf.”

“Sorry.” They said.

All of the sudden, three single knocks were heard from the apartment door, making the girl jump into each other’s arms. You, on the other hand, side-eyed your friends and stood up, you stumbled over a piece of clothing before glancing at them, “Don’t worry, I’ll save you.”

“Dude, we're going to die.” Yunjin muttered.

You hurried to the door and opened it, the thought of someone else out there waiting for you to open the door to murder you not even crossing your mind. Fortunately for you, it was only Jay, who looked more worried for your safety than you did. 

“Y/n, a-are you guys okay?” He asked, furrowed eyebrows looking at you. He gestured behind him, “Someone saw you struggling just a few minutes ago and we couldn’t help but to worry.” He explained.

You smiled, a giggle escaping your lips before you spoke. “Juuuust peachy.”

He nodded, trying to look over your shoulder. “Are the girls alright?”

“No.” You covered your mouth, not being able to contain your laugh as you remembered they were scared. “They thought you were a murder or something so I had to come to the rescue.” You giggled.

“You’re drunk.”

“Barely.”

“Since when did you drink?” He wondered.

You shrugged casually, leaning against the door frame. “Since I found out a witch cursed my boyfriend so he fell out of love with me.”

Jay opened then closed his mouth, clearly confused. He kissed his teeth, “What?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy?” You snorted, making him scratch his eyebrow.

“Yeah, I would, actually–”

Before he could speak any more, you frowned. “Who saw me struggling? Do I have a stalker?” You gasped, making Jay huff.

“You don’t have a stalker, don't worry. Uhm–Jake saw you.” He responded slowly, watching your expression soften.

“Jake’s here?”

“Was. He saw you when he was leaving, said he recognized you so he asked me to check up on you guys.” He explained.

You nodded, your fingers moving to fidget with the brown belt around your waist. “I-Is he okay?” You stuttered, catching Jay by surprise. “Like–does he seem okay?”

His eyes moved around yours, wondering where all this was coming from before he gave you a small nod. 

“Okay.” You awkwardly smiled at him as you stepped back.

“Y/n!”

You flinched as you looked behind your back to see the girls: Yunjin had a baseball bat–more specifically, your baseball bat, Aerie had a lamp, and Yizhuo had a vase, making Jay open his eyes widely as he raised his arms in surrender.

“I come in peace, I swear!”

By three in the morning, the girls and you had built a fort in the living room so you could all stay together. Lights were off, and the only noise in the big room was the movement you kept doing to make yourself comfy on the hard floor.

By now, you had sobered up, just a little pain in the head but nothing that wasn’t going to go away by morning. Your eyes felt light in your face and were shutting second by second, but you couldn’t sleep.

“I can’t sleep.”

You heard ruffling just beside you, making you turn your head to your right to see Yunjin smiling at you.

“I can’t sleep either.” She whispered. You silently giggled, making her do the same. “Do you want to talk about something?” She asked.

You hummed, “like what?”

“I don’t know,” you puckered your lips as you watched her think. “Oh, I know!” She scooted closer to you, “there's a music festival on the 19th, my job gave me two tickets, wanna come with me?” She smiled cheekily.

You sighed sadly, “I can’t, it’s my dad’s birthday.” You frowned then smiled as an idea popped into your head, “but…I might know someone who would be happy to go with you.”

“Who?“

“Jay.” Yunjin furrowed her eyebrows, making you giggle. “He loves music just like you, I’m sure you’d have a great time.”

“We don’t even talk much. Don’t you think it’d be awkward?” She asked.

You shook your head, “not really, you guys have so much in common.“

Yunjin lied back on her back, looking at the tall ceiling. You did the same and sighed. “okay, I’ll ask him. If he has plans already, I’m going to blame this on you.”

You giggled softly, “I’m sure he doesn’t, his birthday is the day after so…there’s a fat chance he’ll take the day off.” You explained, “the guys always have like a whole itinerary for each birthday, it’s cute.”

Yunjin smiled, glancing at you. You had your eyes closed, but a small smile was painted on your lips, almost as if you were reminiscing.

“Must’ve been competitive when you were with Jake, huh?” She blurted out before thinking twice.

But you didn’t exactly react, instead, you let out a laugh and nodded. “Well, not really, it was fun watching him stress when we would ask him which plan was better.”

Yunjin completely turned to you, a blanket covering everything but her head, “can I ask you something personal?” She asked.

You turned to her as well and nodded.

She readjusted her pillow, exhaling. “You said something earlier, about Jake.” You stared at her, making her sigh. “I don’t want to say I believe that Nari did something to him—I don’t know if it’s different for you since this was your relationship, but in my opinion…Jake never gave any signs that he wanted to break up with you. You were so in love, and everyone used to think so–hell, that’s the main reason why everyone thought it was so random that he called you those things. I don’t really know where I’m going with this, I just wanted to ask if you ever saw yourself actually forgiving Jake?” She breathed.

You bit your bottom lip, shrugging. “Part of me wants to believe he didn’t mean those words but,” you paused. “I don’t know, I just wished this never happened, to be honest.” Your eyes began to water, making Yunjin frown.

“We don’t have to talk about it.” She reached for your hand.

A tear fell down, making you wipe it quickly. “It’s fine, sorry, I just—I’ve been really emotional lately for some reason.” You explained.

Yunjin nodded, “I’m probably not the person you want a hug from but…we can cuddle?” You smiled as a laugh escaped you, making her smile as she opened her arms. “Come here, baby.”

You wiped your tears and scooted closer to her, “can I be the big spoon?” You asked quietly.

Yunjin nodded, back facing you, you wrapped your arms around her, then she looked over her shoulder.

“Jake was the little spoon?”

You snorted, hitting her arm as you both tried to laugh as quietly as possible not to wake the other two.

You knocked on the door. Two times, to be exact, before you grabbed the handle and twisted it, opening the door. You frowned, the silence inside the house was clearly loud. Ever since your parents first decided to separate and your dad moved out of the house, you hadn’t gone to his place. It was only one time, when you and Jake helped him move a few things out of your house. But that was less than a year ago.

“Dad?”

You raised your voice, looking around at the darkened room in front of you. You frowned again, puckering your lips as you put the flowers down on the table and walked inside, shutting the door behind you.

When you stepped foot into the opened bedroom just across the room, you gasped loudly. Your dad was lying on the floor, unconscious, just beside the bed. You rushed to his side, shaking him in hope he’d just wake up.

“Dad, wake up.” You shook him once more before checking his pulse. When you felt a pulse, you quickly took your phone from the back pocket of your jeans and quickly called the hospital your dad had been going to do his tests.

“Hi, my name is Y/n L/n. My dad is unconscious, I think he passed out before I arrived. He’s a patient at the hospital.” The responder asked for your dad’s name which you gave as you continued shaking your dad. “He has a pulse but I don’t know how long he’s been out. Yes, lung cancer. Can you please get here quickly, please?” Your voice trembled.

Almost an hour later, you were at the hospital. They had forced you to stay out in the waiting room while they treated your dad. It was slow, it felt like you had been there for hours. And you hadn’t stopped moving your legs, biting your finger nails, you couldn’t stop staring at the wall in front of you like you were insane as you waited for them to call your name.

“Miss Y/n?” 

You looked up, the doctor smiling at you. “You can see your father now.” You wasted no seconds as you stepped out of the chair.

When you got to the room your dad was admitted in, a wave of relief came over you when you saw him with open eyes and a steady breathing.

“Dad.”

He looked over to you, and with a smile, he received you. You wrapped your arms around him and sobbed into his chest, making him laugh. “Why are you crying?”

“I came to visit you at home and when I got there, you were unconscious and I was so scared, dad.” You pulled away, tears forming in your eyes. “You scared me so bad.” You choked.

Your dad patted your head, smiling up at you. “I’m okay. It was just dehydration.” He explained. “It’s Valentine’s Day, why did you come here to visit me?” He snorted, making you laugh.

“Neither of us has someone to spend Valentine’s Day with so I thought we could have a father and daughter day.” You confessed shyly, making your dad smile. 

He patted the empty space on the hospital bed, making you sit. “I’m sorry I ruined the day then, kiddo.” He apologized.

“We can still go get ice cream?” You suggested with an innocent smile.

Your dad laughed, “I can’t. They just told me I can’t have any sugars or anything.”

You scrunched your nose and nodded. “Oh, that’s okay. As long as I get to spend the day with you.” You smiled, tugging the blanket that was wrapped around your dad.

“You can spend the day with me, in the hospital.” He raised his eyebrows, “I won’t be able to leave until they run some other tests. Will be stuck here for a few hours.” He explained.

You nodded slowly, “does this—does this happen often? Passing out?” You asked worriedly.

Your dad shook his head. “But there’s nothing to worry about, kiddo.”

“You say that but,” you paused. “Unless you’re at work and you pass out there, there’s no one that helps you at home. You’re alone most of the time. What if I had decided not to visit today and no one got you to the hospital in time?” You rambled.

Your dad took your hand in his, taking it close to where his heart was. “My heart is beating. That’s what matters now.”

You felt his heart beating and nodded slowly. 

“Now, do you mind grabbing me some jelly from the cafeteria?”

You snorted, “I thought you weren’t supposed to eat sugar.”

“It’s hospital food, I’ll be fine.” He rolled his eyes playfully. You smiled and nodded, hopping out of the hospital bed, you blew him a kiss and stepped out of the room to head to the cafeteria.

At the moment, you had been standing in front of Jay’s apartment for the last ten minutes. After your dad was discharged, you decided to take him back to your grandparent’s place. The night ended shortly, at seven at night, your father basically forced you out of the house and sent you back to your—Jay’s apartment, because he didn’t want you to pity him.

You saw his car already parked. You knew the code to the apartment. But was there a possibility there might be a woman inside? The chances were there. You didn’t want to risk entering the apartment and seeing Jay and a woman having dinner together. It would look wrong. Right? Not that you thought he’d be sleeping with someone on the first date, Jay didn’t seem like that type of guy. But who knows? Everyone’s full of surprises.

So after the eleventh minute, you sent him a text.

you:  is it safe for me to enter the apartment? if not, ignore the text and continue whatever you’re doing👌👌👌

You rolled your eyes at your own text message. Whatever that fucking means. You stared at it for a second, wondering how long it’d take Jay to respond.

Jay:  very safe lol

Jay:  thought you were staying the night? Everything okay? How long until you get here?

You:  I’ve been standing in front of the door for about 10 minutes now lol

As soon as the text message went through, the door to the apartment opened, revealing a very worried Jay.

“You’ve been standing there for ten minutes? Why didn’t you punch in the code?” He asked, stepping out of the way to let you in.

“I didn’t want to interrupt anything.” You furrowed your eyebrows, a very painful excuse.

Jay raised his, shutting the door behind him. “Well, I bought pizza for myself but you can have as many slices as you want.” He handed you a plate as he walked back to the living room.

You put the plate down and smiled at him, even though his back was facing you. “Yeah, thanks. I think I’ll just go to bed.” You said.

Jay looked at you and tilted his head, knowing it was more than that. He patted the empty side on the floor, “Come here."

You sighed, not even in the mood to say no to the guy. You placed your tote bag on the couch and sat next to Jay, looking at him with a tired expression. A very noticeable tired expression. Eyebags, pale skin, dried lips, puffy eyes.

He knew what to ask you.

“Is your dad okay?”

You swallowed the tears, instantly nodding. “Yeah.”

He nodded, attention fully on you. “Wanna talk about it?”

“Not really.” You responded quietly.

You turned to look at him, making him scoot closer to you so your arms would bump. He opened his arms and with no words exchanged, he wrapped his arms around you and held you close. Instead of pushing him away, you stayed there. You didn’t cry, you didn’t move, you didn’t have to say anything for him to understand. You simply leaned into him for support.

Jay pressed his cheek to your head, nuzzling into it for comfort.

And when you tried to lighten the mood, Jay was there to play along.

“Are you sure I didn’t ruin your date?”

He snorted, his laugh vibrating through your body. “I’m sure. But I’d rather be here, anyways.” You stayed quiet as he paused, “pizza, wine, and a girl who easily makes me laugh? What more can a man ask?” 

You pulled away slightly to look up at him and laughed before completely pushing him off. Jay smiled at your reaction, leaning back on the couch as he watched you stand up.

“Enjoy your solo date, Jay.”

He nodded, looking away as he grabbed a slice of pizza and stuffed it in his mouth.

“And thanks for the flowers!” You said, already inside the bedroom. Jay laughed, nodding to himself as he unpaused the TV.

two years ago

“I got here as fast as I could, how is he?”

You looked up from the floor, seeing Jake out of breath—flowers in hand and your favorite drink. When he saw your face, it dropped—your eyes and lips were puffy from the crying, and you looked exhausted.

Jake sat on the empty seat next to you and took you in his arms, pushing your head to lie it on his chest. “Hey, what’s wrong?” He whispered.

You broke into a sob—being vulnerable was so easy when you were with Jake. He let you be you with no judgement.

With one hand, he held your face up so you could look at him. He frowned, “Hey, tell me what’s wrong. I’m here.” He reassured, holding you closer with the other hand.

“H-he has cancer.” You choked.

Jake’s face dropped. He didn’t even say anything as he hugged you even closer, “he’s going to get through this, he’s strong.” He said, making you sob harder on his chest. he rubbed your back and caressed head, fingers running through your hair.

Jake was always good with words, at comforting, it was something he got from you, yet he became better at it as time went by. He made you feel like everything was going to be okay, and you always believed it, because you trusted Jake.

“Here.” He pulled back his hand from your head to grab your favorite drink and hand it to you. You let go of his hold and simply grabbed the drink, saying nothing as you opened it and took a sip. “Is it good?” He asked, eyes focusing only in yours.

You gave him a tightened smile and nodded, making him smile. His hand that was in your back fell to your knee, rubbing it subconsciously.

When you went to close the drink, he took it from you and closed it for you, putting it to the side next to the flowers. Your eyes flickered to them before you turned to Jake.

“What’re the flowers for?”

He shrugged, giving you a shy smile. “They’re for your dad. I thought it’d be a nice gesture. He likes flowers, doesn't he?”

You smiled at him, a small laugh escaping you as you grabbed his hand for comfort, to which Jake smiled as well, putting your hand in between his two hands, keeping it warm. “Your dad’s going to be okay, Y/n. He’ll pull through this.” 

You nodded, puckering your lips as you looked away, eyes watering. His eyes followed yours as you looked around the room, making him frown.

“You can talk to me.”

You held your breath as a tear fell from your eye. Jake moved one of his hands to hold your face, wiping the tear away.

“H-he was coughing up blood.” You stuttered, “and he—he couldn’t breathe and I didn’t know what to do.” You explained, looking at Jake as you shook your head. He kept his hand on your cheek, stopping you from moving too much. “He could’ve died.”

“Don’t say that.” He cut you off, “he’s better now, right? He’s here now, the doctors will do everything to help him. You don’t have to worry.” He reassured you. “You know your dad, he’ll get through this. Okay?”

You nodded, letting your head fall to his shoulder. He moved his hand back to your upper back and moved it up and down as he held you close.

“Thanks for being here, Jake.” You sobbed on his shoulder, wrapping your arms around his waist for comfort.

Jake smiled, even though you couldn’t see it.

“Of course, baby. I will always be here for you. Always.”

“Honey, I’m home!”

You sang as you shut the door behind you, taking your shoes off on the entry. The scent of spices and whatever Jay was doing entered your nostrils right away, making you gasp and run to the kitchen. “You started?!”

Jay glanced over his shoulder and chuckled. “Maybe…” You groaned, “Hey, you get in a hangry mood all the time. I was not risking it.”

You couldn’t help but smile, hitting his shoulder. “Fair. It looks really nice.”

You commented, looking over his shoulder. He tensed up–and without you noticing, he snuck a glance at you, eyes flickering down to your lips. He shook his head, a small laugh leaving his lips as he raised the spoon he was mixing the sauce with.

“Wanna try?”

“Let me wash my hands first, chef.” 

He smiled at the nickname, watching you rinse your hands before standing next to him. Jay let a spoon of the sauce fall on the back of your hand, then grabbing it to guide it to your mouth. When you tasted it, your eyes widened. “I-Is it good?” He asked, suddenly feeling anxious when your eyebrows expressed the exact opposite of what he wanted to see.

“This might be the best pasta sauce I’ve ever tried.”

Jay sighed in big relief, holding his heart as he continued mixing the sauce.

“I’m going to go change, yeah?” He nodded, “You’re the best!”

He smiled subconsciously, covering the pan before grabbing the two glasses, taking them to the table with the wine in his other hand.

Ten minutes later, you two were sitting across from each other,  an empty plate of creamy spicy pesto pasta alla vodka and a glass of wine staring right back at you. Jay had yet to show you his cooking skills, even though you already knew he was good in the kitchen. It was hilarious watching him do his own stuff, it was as if you were watching master chef and he was running out of time, only in Jay’s mind, there was no rush at all–in fact, with you there, it was as if time had stopped moving and he had all the time in the world.

“Seriously, easily the best pasta in the world.”

“Really? I might’ve gone overboard with the spice.” He scrunched his nose, taking a small sip from the wine.

With no reaction at all, you shrugged. “It’s perfect for me.”

“That’s because you love spice.” He said as he cleaned his tongue, trying to get the spice to go away.

“Or maybe you just can’t handle it.” You wiggled your eyebrows, “You’re the type of person that thinks ketchup is spicy.”

“Some of them are!” He laughed out loud.

You followed along, laughing at the way he was reacting. You took a sip of your wine, it wasn’t a strong one, but the taste lingered on your tongue and down your throat. 

“You’re so dramatic.” You teased, watching him stand up to go grab a glass of milk. You carefully gathered the finished plates–except for the bottle of wine and glasses, and took them to the dishwasher whilst he chugged on the glass of milk.

“I am not dramatic.”

You quietly walked out of the bedroom, even though Riki was dead asleep. The moment you stepped out of the bedroom, you bumped into Jay, causing him to grab your arms to balance you and not let you fall.

You breathed out a laugh as he let go of you, “Thanks.”

He smiled, walking down the hallway with you. “I really thought you both would be asleep by now.”

You looked at him as you entered the kitchen, “Wine might make me a little bit dizzy, but it’s always so hard for me to sleep. Especially with Riki’s loud snores. Seriously, why does he snore so loud?” Jay laughs quietly, putting the kettle on the stove.

“Should’ve left him asleep on the couch.” He kissed his teeth.

You shook your head, “It’s fine, he talks in his sleep so I really want to know what he says tonight.”

He snorted, “How many sleepovers have you had that you know he sleep-talks?”

“Too many. I used to baby sit him and his sisters back in high school, one time he and his little sister fell asleep on the couch when we were watching a movie and Konon, his older sister, and I watched them have a conversation while being asleep.” Jay’s attention was fully on you, a smile on his face as you spoke. “It was hilarious.” You shrugged.

He laughed, pouring some of the hot water on two cups. He grabbed two bags, placed them inside the cup as well then passed one to you. “Sugar cube?” He asked, making you nod with a small smile.

“Thank you.”

He smiled, “It’s nothing.”

He stood behind the counter whilst you sat on the kitchen stool, and with a smile. “Can you believe I’m moving into my own apartment in less than two weeks?” You couldn’t help but smile.

“I can’t, actually.” You bit your bottom lip as you watched Jay place the sugar cube inside his tea. “It’s been so much fun having you here.” He looked at you, making you give him a nervous smile.

“And here I thought you’d be happy you could finally get rid of me.” You joked.

He shook his head, “No, never.” He said firmly.

You blew on your tea before sipping it, careful not to burn yourself. Jay watched you, feeling a little bit anxious all the sudden.

“Next week’s Valentine’s day.” He blurted out, making you put down your cup and nod. “You have any plans?”

You snorted and shook your head, “Nope. Not at all, I think I’ll just go home and hang out with my dad.” You tapped your finger on the cup.

“Oh…” Jay said, licking his lips. “Uh, I’ve been meaning to ask, how’s your dad doing?”

Jay had found out about your dad’s cancer a few months ago,  the day he and Riki went to your dorm after you spoke to Jake and had the argument with your parents. It was a slip up, but it made Jay want to be there for you ever since then. You hadn’t even realized you had told them about it, Riki knew already so it didn’t even cross your mind that Jay didn’t. So him now asking you about your dad didn’t make you feel awkward. It made you feel comfortable.

“He’s been going to the hospital a lot.” You answered with a little hesitation. 

Jay nodded slowly, trying not to push any more buttons you didn’t want to push yourself. “We don’t have to talk about it.”

You smiled at him sadly, “Thanks.”

“So,” He changed the subject, making you look at him, a playful smile appearing on his face. “Huh Yunjin as your roommate…”

You snorted, the smile re-appearing on your face. “I think it’s going to be fun. I can’t wait for her to give me snippets of her songs.”

“You’ll probably schedule a gossip hour too, huh?” He joked.

Your eyes widened as you nodded. “We literally did!”

Jay couldn’t help but to feel that smile of yours all the way to his heart. He couldn’t help it, seeing you happy made him so. damn. happy.

Christmas at your house was quieter this year, with more tension. Your siblings had left the house just before dinner, leaving you to sit alone at the table with your parents—the same parents that had been in the process of getting divorced for the past year.

It was already awkward. You had been poking your food for the past ten minutes, trying to ignore the way your parents were arguing over where you were supposed to spend Christmas this year. Your dad said you were supposed to be at his parent’s house. Your mom said the opposite. Of course, your dad was right, but you didn’t want your mom to explode in front of you for disagreeing.

It would be different with Jake here.

He would be sitting next to you, his hand touching your thigh in a supportive way, to let you know he was there for you. He would be starting the conversation to end the awkward tension between your parents. He knew exactly what to say to bring the mood up. You didn’t even have to open your mouth at the time, you could just eat and let Jake help you through dinner.

But that was last year. This year was different.

This year there was more tension. Your father's lung cancer had worsened this summer, making it even worse than last year. He had done tests while you were still in New York, your mother kept it from you, but your siblings didn't. And of course, the day after you were back in Seoul, at the hospital where your father was brokenly lying on. Last year, the news broke you. Jake stayed with you, let you be vulnerable.

This year, there was no shoulder you could cry on.

“Can you guys stop arguing for a minute?” You gave them a tightened smile when they both turned to you. “It’s Christmas. The least you can do for me is not argue.” You asked, voice cracking.

What bothered you the most about them was the fact that the one in the wrong was your mother, not your dad. It’s usually the other way around, the husband cheating on the wife with the assistant, the most common way to end a marriage. But with your parents, your mother had the nerve to have an affair with a married man, she cheated on your sick father who has done nothing but be a supportive partner, a father.

Before thinking twice about it, you placed your fork down and looked at the seat across you, where your mother sat. “Actually, I’ll just take this to my bedroom.” You said quietly but in a harsh tone that was never meant to be used with her.

Your mother snapped her head at you as you grabbed your plate and started standing up. “There’s no eating inside your bedrooms.” She demanded.

“And there’s no arguing when we’re eating. We all break rules, don’t we?” You shrugged as you walked past your dad, placing a small box in front of him, “merry Christmas, dad. Love you.”

Without another word, you took off. You made your way to the kitchen, grabbed a full plate of food that was on the kitchen island, some sour jellies, chocolate, a bunch of other stuff to fill in the sadness inside you, then made your way upstairs.

When you locked yourself inside your bedroom, you heard footsteps coming from downstairs, signaling that your dad was leaving already. You understood. He was only here because of you, so why would he stay if you weren’t present? You placed the plates of food on your nightstand, making your way to where the window was to peek just a little bit. There was your dad’s car driving off from the house. It didn’t make sense, your dad built this house for him and your mother, yet, he let her keep it. Because he was the kindest person ever.

You changed into your pajamas, black sweatpants and over-sized shirt with a hoodie on top, grabbed the “Home Alone” DVD and inserted it on the disc below your TV before hopping on your bed, drowning yourself in the warm blankets before playing it.

Home Alone. That was the movie you and Jake used to watch every Christmas, one of the many traditions you had. Another thing that changed this year.

Four Christmas' ago

“Honey! Jaeyun is here!”

Your eyes widened with excitement as you got out of bed and rushed downstairs. You were wearing your grinch pajamas, hair all over the place and some chocolate on the corner of your mouth. You didn’t even bother changing, because Jake was someone you trusted to see that messy part of you.

You grabbed the small bag from under the Christmas tree that said “Jake” on it, and ran to the door. There was Jake, standing with a huge smile on his face. Without a word, the two of you wrapped your arms around each other, making your mother roll your eyes with a lingering smile on her face as she walked back to the living room where the rest of your family sat.

“You smell like Christmas.” Jake nuzzled his nose on your hair, making you push him off with a giggle.

“And you smell like expensive cologne.”

He sniffed his own clothes and smiled awkwardly. “My uncle gave me a cologne for Christmas.” He shook his head, opening his jacket to reveal a small wrapped box. “Do you think we could walk for a little bit?”

You nodded, looking back at your parents who gave you thumbs up. You grabbed your hung coat from the entry and stepped outside, slipping your shoes on.

You and Jake walked for a minute, before he stopped in front of you and handed you the box.

“This is for you. It’s not much but it reminded me of you. Merry Christmas.” He said your name in a way you never heard.

You smiled shyly, grabbing the box. “Can I open it now?” He nodded, looking nervous.

A small gasp escaped your lips as you opened the box, revealing a beautiful necklace with a shiny sun on it. You looked at Jake and immediately hugged him to which he froze on the spot, not reacting fast. You pulled away from the hug, a small shy chuckle coming out of your lips as you looked down at the gift.

“I-I know it’s not much—“

“—it’s perfect. Thank you, Jake.” 

He nodded, a sigh of relief escaping him. “The reason I-I chose this necklace was because you light up every room you walk into. You being present is enough to make me smile—I guess it’s not that significant for you but I just thought because it reminded me of you, I’d get it.” He rambled through his words, making you smile.

“It’s the best gift someone has ever given me.” You confessed, “Now I feel embarrassed about my gift.”

You looked down, kicking your feet. Jake’s eyes widened in surprise, “you got me something?” He asked.

You nodded, handing him the bag with a side smile. He quickly opened it with a smile, a gasp escaping him when he saw the several sour jellies, a bracelet you made, and a Lego box inside it.

“Y/n, you’re amazing! This gift is everything!”

He threw himself on you, placing delicate touches with his lips all over your head before lifting your head up, his lips reaching for your cheeks. You froze and looked at him, making him freeze as well.

“I-I’m so sorry.” He mumbled.

You stared at him, your eyes then flickering down to his mouth for a quick second. When he noticed that, he did the same. “I wanted to do this more formally but, c-can I be your boyfriend?” He asked.

Your lips parted open, a breath of relief escaping them. “That’s so random.”

Jake tilted his head to the side, “I’m not sure how to take that.” His lips moved, an inch close to your lips.

“It’s a yes. You can also kiss me, Jake.”

“Thank God.”

Jake closed the space between your lips, slowly and with no intent of leaving, moving his lips in synchronization with yours. He smiled into the kiss, making you pull away, giggling when you saw Jake’s reddened ears.

“Are you blushing?”

He shook his head. “Maybe. Can’t a boy blush because of his girlfriend?”

You chuckled, eyes squinted as your smile took over your face.

“Let me put the necklace on you, you silly goose.”

“You did not just call me that!”

You wore that necklace for the next three years. Hell, you even had it on your neck when you left for New York. Not an exact way of healing, but it helped you. That necklace was now buried in the nightstand beside you, you couldn’t throw it away, you didn’t want to.

You hadn’t even realized you weren’t paying attention to the movie anymore. The clock had struck twelve, it was midnight. It was Christmas. And you were alone. Just you and Kevin McCallister against the world.

But of course, someone had other plans.

The sound of a rock hitting your window made you snap out of your thoughts, pause the movie, and jump out of bed. You opened the curtains of the window, then quietly opened the window itself to see the same boy you had been thinking about just a second ago.

“Jake?”

The boy froze, a small rock on his right hand, already in the air to throw right where the girl stood. He quickly put it down, wiped his hand on his pants and waved awkwardly.

You looked behind you, even with the door locked, you couldn’t help but to worry your mother would spawn out of nowhere.

When you looked back down to Jake, you noticed his shaky breath all the way from up your room, showing how nervous he was.

“C-can we walk,” he paused. “For a little bit?”

You didn’t know what you were doing, but whatever this was, was way better than having to lock yourself in the bedroom so your mother wouldn’t bother you. So you closed your window with no response, grabbed some jellies, unlocked the door and made your way downstairs.

“Honey—“

“—I’m going to go on a walk.”

You grabbed your coat and shut the door behind you.

From the porch, you could see Jake walking away which made you frown as you made your way to him. “You’re leaving already?”

He gasped and held his heart, making you let out a small laugh. “Shit. Sorry, I thought you shutting the window meant “no” so I just saw myself out. I didn’t think you’d actually come.” He explained.

“Anything’s better than being inside that house right now.” You shrugged, starting to walk by yourself.

Jake followed your footsteps, hands in his pockets as he exhaled into the cold air. Instead of saying something, he walked quietly, the only noise being your footsteps on the snow beneath you.

“I bumped into your dad earlier, actually.” He spoke after a few minutes of walking in silence.

You glanced at him. “You did?”

He nodded.

“But he left like an hour ago.” You tilted your head in confusion, “did you plan on being here earlier?”

He chuckled and nodded, fidgeting with his own fingers inside his pockets. “Yeah. I-uhm, I thought you wouldn’t want to see me so, I walked back to my house and that’s when I saw him. Is he...okay?” He asked.

You gave him a tight eyed smile. “Better than last year." A lie. "Has been doing a lot of tests.” A truth. You nodded to yourself, making Jake copy you.

At least a part of what you said was true.

You kicked your feet on the snow as you continued walking, Jake kept his footsteps steady yet too strict. He gulped, kissed his teeth a few times, gaining the courage to speak up.

“Can we—can we sit here?” 

He gestured to the bench just a few feet away from you, then scratched the back of his neck when you nodded. When you sat on the bench, you looked ahead at the frozen river.

The both of you watched the frozen river for a few minutes. It took everything in you not to speak up, and it was taking everything in Jake to speak up. But he wanted to do things right, he didn’t want to mess up and saw the wrong things when he knew what he wanted to say. So you patiently waited, something you learned about Jake is that it took him time to find the words to speak, it was a cute thing you found out about him, it was something you helped him with during your relationship.

“Here.”

He placed a box and a letter in the empty space between you. Your eyes flickered from the objects beside you to Jake, “what’s this?” You asked.

“You don’t have to keep it, I just want you to see it.” When you went to reach for it, he stopped you, letting his hand linger on top of yours. “Open it when you’re home.”

You nodded slowly, taking your hand back.

Jake gulped nervously, “t-this is just a small something. This isn’t how I want to apologize.” He added, his voice trembling.

“Okay.”

The tone in which you said it, was the way used to tell him to make him know you were being patient, no rush.

“I was a complete asshole. The things I said to you, how I treated you that day.” He paused, watching as you looked away from him. “I know that I don’t deserve you. Forgiving me wouldn’t fix things. I put myself in your place and—fuck, I wouldn’t forgive myself either. But I’m not you, and I really want to make things right so one day—if not today, you can forgive me. I want to become a better version of myself, for me, and most importantly,” he paused when you turned to him. “I want to become a better person for you.”

Your lips trembled just a little, showing emotion to his words. But you kept your head high, still not looking at him. But Jake saw right through you, and you hated that.

“I can’t change what I did back then. I wish on every star I could go back and treat you the way you should have been treated but I can’t. I know those words I said to you will scare you for life, and I will blame myself for that for the rest of my life.” He stopped talking to take a breather, and you couldn't help but to look at him for a second.

He looked miserable, destroyed, vulnerable. And worst of all, he was this way on your anniversary—or at least the day it would’ve been your fourth anniversary.

“I-I don’t even know why I called you those names. Why I even believed her in the first place. I can’t remember any of it, it was like a blur. One day you and I were happy and then the next day, we broke up.” His voice cracked.

You let out a small chuckle, definitely not the right time for it. “Maybe Nari did voodoo shit on you.” You joked.

Jake smiled at your joke, shaking his head in disappointment. “If that were the case, this wouldn’t be so difficult.” He admitted.

You watched him okay with the letter he had given you, making you sigh. “Forgiveness takes time, Jake. It doesn’t mean I’ll hate you forever.” You said in a whisper. “Not that I hate you now.”

He looked up at you and gave you a tightened smile, “you should.”

You shrugged. “You’re trying, that’s what matters.”

His mouth twitched into a pout as he nodded.

“I heard you and Jay are friends again. That’s a start.” You spoke after a second, “and I heard you’re trying to be a better person, fix your mistakes. That’s another step.” You gave him a saddened but supportive smile.

He chuckled, a tear falling on your letter. “I’m so sorry I hurt you, Y/n. I really am. I hurt you and you’re still here.”

“It’s tradition.”

He smiled down at your letter and nodded. “There’s some stuff in this letter that I can’t say out loud for some reason.” He gestured to it, making you look down at it. “When I try to speak about it, it’s like my words get swallowed. So I just thought—maybe writing it down would be easier.” He handed you the letter, making you nod as you hid it inside your coat. “Also figured you’d probably prefer being alone when you read it, instead of here. Just don’t read it now. You'll know when.” He fumbled his words.

“Are you sick?”

Jake looked up, shaking his head almost too quickly, letting a small cough, “W-what? No, just keep it close until then. Please. It’s all I ask from you.”

You nodded, confused, but not pushing any more buttons. He copied your movements, nodding his head.

“Thanks.”

You grabbed the sour jellies from the other side of your inside coat and handed them to Jake, making him look up with a surprised look.

“I brought a little something too. Couldn’t break the tradition.” You smiled.

He stared at you for a second before nodding, a sad chuckle leaving his lips as he inhaled and exhaled out loud. He grabbed the jellies from your hand, your hand brushing his for a small second, to which he reacted.

“Thanks. For being here.” He paused and gave you a smile that did something to your heart, “It means a lot.”

For some reason, you leaned closer to him, placed a touching and lingering kiss on the boy’s cheek before pulling away.

“Merry Christmas, Jake.” 

You whispered as you stood up with the box in your hands, walking away and not looking back.

The second you shut the door to your room, you stared at the letter in your hand, he wanted you to keep it closed—for some reason, and you listened to him, but that made you think what was written in there, was much more than just an apology. It made your heart ache, but put the letter in the bottom drawer to your desk and sighed, making your way to your bed with the box. You’ll know when.

Whatever that means.

You looked at the box for a second, as if you were waiting for it to magically open itself. When it didn’t, you sat down and carefully opened the box. It was a beautiful teal-blue box with a pink ribbon on it, two of your favorite colors. When you took the top off, a thick letter stared right at you, a written letter, with the same awful handwriting you always had trouble reading. You chuckled at it, putting it to the side with a soft smile on your face as your eyes found themselves flickering to said letter. You grabbed the smaller box inside the box, opened it, revealing a bracelet. A handmade bracelet. You realized quickly that it was an attempt of recreating the bracelet you had given him just four years ago, it made you laugh. A poor attempt, but an attempt nonetheless.

How did he even remember about the bracelet? Did he still wear it? Did he have it on him all the time and you just didn’t know?

You raised your wrist up, just enough so you could put the bracelet on then smiled. “He’s so bad at making these things.”

But you still kept it on your wrist as you grabbed the letter that was inside the box and opened it.

Dear Y/n, Don’t laugh!! I know the bracelet is ugly. Can I get points for trying, though? Sorry, I know it’s not the time to make jokes. I can’t help it, you always used to laugh when you tried teaching me how to make friendship bracelets and I ended up messing everything up. I remember a little bit though. Anyway, I just wanted to give you that bracelet as a Christmas gift. When you open this, it’ll be Christmas already so, and also something else, consider it a Christmas gift and a happy-what could’ve been our fourth year together-anniversary gift. I’m deeply sorry for everything, for ruining us. You're probably tired of me apologizing and for that I appreciate you so much, because even after all what happened, you’re still you. Me, on the other hand, would be questionable. I’ve been trying to think of what to say for the past weeks and I can’t think of anything, I really hurt you, and now I realize there’s no way to take what I said back. Nothing. What’s done is done and that’s it. What I can do is do better in the future–actually, starting today would be better. I have been writing this letter for about two weeks now, I know…I’m a man of many words (sarcasm). After writing the last part, I decided to go to a therapist. I’ve been seeing her for about a week now? Hopefully I can get the help that I need, because it turns out it’s not just you who thinks I’ve changed. My parents and my brother basically begged me to see someone, which is understandable. I was acting like a prick to them like I was with you. I don’t want to take much of your time so I’ll stop right here. I just wanted to tell you that I am really trying here, for you, and for myself. I hope one day you can see this effort, you don’t have to forgive me just yet, I’ll do everything to make me deserve forgiveness. Because to me, what matters is you. I love you, Your Silly Goose.

You snorted at the nickname at the end, putting the letter to the side and burying your face on the pillow.

There was only one person that could ever make you cry, out of happiness, frustration, sadness, anger. Unfortunately, that person was now your ex-boyfriend, who had now made you cry out of every emotion there was on planet earth.

Because he was the only person that ever made you feel.

mars yap no guys dw they're not getting back together🤪🤪🤪(yet?)

A year ago

Halloween was probably your boyfriend’s favorite time of the year. He took costumes very seriously.

“Oh gosh, who are you two supposed to be?”

You and your boyfriend glanced at each other; you were dressed as little red riding hood whilst Jake was dressed as a grandma-disguised wolf. 

“Is it..not obvious?” You chuckled awkwardly, looking at Jake who had growled at Jay.

“Ah, I get it now. You look terrible.” He told Jake.

“You’re just jealous because I’m the hottest in here.” He flipped his non-existent long hair, making you giggle. Jake glanced at you with a wide smile, giving you a quick peck on your left cheek. “We’re so winning best costume.” 

“If we don’t—“ you started.

“—it’s rigged.” You and Jake said simultaneously.

Jay blinked at the both of you, nodding along. “Yeah, you’re so going to win the best sexy costume.” He snorted a laugh.

“Seriously, man.” Jake slid his hands all over his covered body, letting a small “kachow” sound as he slapped his own butt. “This is so sexy.”

“It so is.” You played along, earning a smile from the boy. When he looked away, you turned to Jay and shook your head, mouthing “it’s not”, earning a laugh from him.

“You look good.” He complimented you.

You smiled at him, “you too. Robin Hood?”

He nodded.

“I heard Heeseung was dressing up as Captain Hook.” You told the guys, making them nod. Jake snuck an arm around your waist and under your cape, smiling down at you.

“We should get something to drink.” He whispered down to your ear, making you nod but turn to Jay.

“Are you here with anyone else?”

He shook his head. “You and the other guys.”

“Let’s go for a drink then.” You smiled kindly. He nodded, tagging along behind you and Jake.

You rarely went to parties. It wasn’t your scene, never was. When you became friends with Donghyuck and Shotaro, that changed in the smallest bit. You and Yizhou had become part of the frat in a way, always involved in planning parties, forming opinions on stuff like, “do you guys think this theme will work” and others, so you were always invited to said frat events. Jake was never jealous or suspicious of anything, in fact, he was very excited to see that his girlfriend was getting invited to events like this, so he could attend as well.

So to say he was excited, was an understatement.

“How many cups did you drink, dude?” 

Asked Yizhou when she saw your boyfriend bump into the wall. You grabbed him with a groan as his heavy weight shifted on you.

“Too many.” You mumbled as you signaled her to help you.

“Did you even drink?” You shook your head, “so he’s a party pooper.”

“He’s not a party pooper, Yi. He simply had too much fun. I think Hyuck gave him his deathly drink or something.” You muttered.

“Excuse me? It’s Hyuck's drink, not deathly drink, get it right.” Donghyuck said, stepping outside with you and Yizhou, Jay by his side. “Meet Jay, by the way. He’s cool as fuck.” He grinned drunkenly.

“We already know Jay.” You and Yizhou said at the same time.

Donghyuck frowned, glancing at Jay who quickly stepped into the scene to help you two. “Here, I can take him.”

“Thanks.” You both said.

As Jay wrapped Jake’s arm around his shoulder and placed his own on his waist, he turned to you. “I’ll take him to our apartment. Do you girls need a ride?”

“Yes, please.” Three voices said.

You all turned to Donghyuck who suddenly fell onto you, causing you to stumble into Jay. “Okay, let’s go, you.” You grabbed him by the arm.

“Ouch!”

The ride back to the dorms wasn’t awkward at all. Yizhou, Jake, and Donghyuck had fallen asleep or at least that’s what it seemed like whilst you were in the front seat chatting with Jay.

“My money’s on Verstappen.”

“That’s so unfair!” You scoffed with a laugh, making the guy smile. “He always wins.”

“I know my guys, Y/nnie.” You frowned, “And I’m playing it safe, last time I lost like a hundred bucks for betting on Perez.”

“Wow, out of all drivers?”

He glared at you, making you giggle.

“You guys are so loud.” Jake mumbled from the seat behind you.

“Shh, sweetie, go to sleep.” You whispered, glancing back at him. The Australian boy mumbled something incoherent under his breath, making you and Jay chuckle.

After a few minutes, Jay pulled over to his and Jake’s shared apartment, taking Yizhou in his arms respectfully while basically dragging Donghyuck by the shirt. You, on the other hand, had Jake with one arm around his waist whilst he was hugging you tightly, basically making you incapable of moving.

“Dude, you need to move.” You shifted into laughter as he mumbled incoherent things into your neck.

“Need any help?” Asked Jay, already inside the building.

You shook your head, poking Jake on the side of his waist to wake him up, making him giggle drunkenly. You smiled at his state, he was a lot more shy when he was drunk, more touchy and more in love.

“You’re so cute.” Jake complimented you quietly as he hugged his pillow whilst watching you take his shoes to his closet.

After a very complicated ten minutes, you and Jay had managed to get everyone into the apartment. Jay had suggested for you to stay over, you could sleep in Jake’s bed since you two were together, Yizhou could take Jay’s bed, and Donghyuck and him could sleep in the living room. You had of course accepted, you had slept over countless times at their apartment. Hell, you even had a pair of pajamas in Jake’s drawers just in case. But today, you lend them to Yizhou whilst you wore one of Jake’s very oversized t-shirts (which is technically yours) so your best friend could sleep comfortably.

“I’m going for some Advil. Don’t fall asleep yet.” You pointed at him.

He nodded, giving you that sweet smile of his that made you want to crawl on him and squeeze his cheeks like a little baby.

“Oh, hey.” Jay smiled awkwardly when you entered the kitchen.

You waved at him, already too tired. “Do you have Advil?” He nodded, opening a drawer to hand you the whole container. “Thanks. Did Yizhou fall asleep?” He nodded again, stirring the bag of tea in a cup.

“Yeah, her and Donghyuck are dead asleep in my bed.” You snorted a laugh.

“I am so sorry about that.” You covered your face in embarrassment.

Jay shook his head with a soft chuckle, “It’s fine. As long as they’re comfortable, I’m okay. The couch’s comfortable anyways.”

You chuckled, looking down for a second before pointing at the container in your hand. “I’m going to go…you know,”

He smiled with a nod.

“Okay.” You nodded, walking back to your boyfriend’s bedroom.

When you heard his snoring, you smiled to yourself, planting your hand on his shoulder to shake him. “Jake. Jakeyyy.” He hummed at the nickname, making you giggle. “Take this and then you can sleep.”

Jake threw his hand back almost instantly, squeezing his own hand. You grabbed the back of his hand and placed the Advil in his hand, guiding it to his mouth. He opened his mouth and threw the pill inside, making you smile. “Water.”

He nodded with a pout.

With closed eyes, he took the water from you with a small “thank you” escaping his lips. When he swallowed the pill, he hugged his pillow.

“You’re the best, Y/nnie. I love you.” He said under his breath.

Your heart ached at his words, making you lean closer to kiss the corner of his mouth. You smiled at it, “I love you, Jaeyun.”

He smiled subconsciously at your words, completely missing out how you walked out of the bedroom.

On the way out, you quickly stepped into Jay’s room where your friends were basically spread out, lying all over the bed. You snorted, taking your phone out to snap a picture before putting one Advil for each on each side of the bed before stepping out of the bedroom to head back to the kitchen.

“Tired yet?” Jay asked when he saw your shadow come into first.

You chuckled, shaking your head a tad bit.

“Here.” 

He slid a cup of tea your way. You smiled at him, “Thanks. Exactly what I needed.”

“I guess I just know you well.” You chuckled. “Jake okay?”

You nodded. “Sleeping like a baby.”

Both of you sipped your tea, a smile creeping on your lips as a thought appeared in your brain. Jay noticed you almost immediately, your smile infecting him. “What?”

“Nothing.” You giggled, shaking your head. “I feel like an old lady drinking tea this late.”

He put his cup down, crossing his arms around his upper waist. “Guess we’re already mentally old.”

He joked, making you laugh. “Hey! We’re twenty, that’s like–not old at all.”

“Twenty turning twenty-one. We’re basically eighty.”

With your free hand, you playfully slapped his arm, making him dramatically fall back on to the counter.

“You have wounded me, L/n Y/n.” He grunted, holding his heart, eyes shut.

You fell back, laughter filling the room. “You’re so dramatic, oh my God.”

Jay opened one eye, looking at you with offense. “I am everything but, lady.” He scoffed dramatically.

You smiled at him, covering your mouth to stop yourself from laughing at the sudden accent he had done. At your reaction, Jay couldn’t help but laugh as well, taking his tea and turning around to not look at you.

For a few minutes, you and Jay shared a few laughs, jokes, and talked about basically everything. To the point you had fallen asleep on the couch beside him, but of course, like the good friend he was—to you, he carried you back to Jake’s bed, knowing you’d want to wake up next to him, and probably be more comfortable in a bed rather than in a couch.

For a second—a second he considered more than enough, Jay looked at you. You lied next to Jake, wrapped in his sheets, looking peaceful as ever. And Jay could never be this happier.

“I told you, I didn’t need a gift.”

Jake said, still, his smile said exactly the opposite. You knew him too well, obviously he didn’t need a gift, but he was always good at receiving.

Your favorite time of the year was Jake’s birthday. November fifteenth. At least since you two started going out. Where he was good at receiving, you were good at giving. You loved making gifts, for your friends, family, boyfriend. He was one of your favorite people in the world, so of course you went all out with his gift.

“You are enough.” Jake teased, putting the box to the side to grab your waist and pull you closer, placing soft and short kisses all over your face.

You giggled, trying to push him away. “Move, I have makeup on, you idiot.” He shushed you by placing his lips on yours, swallowing your giggles.

He hummed in your lips, making you smile at the kiss before you pulled away, your arms now wrapped around his shoulders, caressing the back of his neck softly. “So you don’t want to see your gift?” You tilted your head playfully, already knowing the answer.

“Well, of course I do!” He smiled widely, his hands unwrapping themselves from your waist to grab the gift sitting beside you. “Is it a puppy? You know I can’t betray Layla like that.” He said, unwrapping the box as he sat down on the couch.

“Yeah, because I would put a puppy in a box, Jake.”

He shrugged casually, handing you the wrapping paper as he struggled to open the box. “I’ve seen videos about it.” He mumbled under his breath, making you laugh.

“Don’t get your expectations too high.” You said, a little shy now that he was opening the box. “Be careful with the box.”

Jake glanced at you and chuckled at your expression. “You’re so cute when you’re nervous, baby.” He pinched your right cheek, making you scrunch your nose.

“Just open it.”

Jake giggled, finally opening the box and peeking inside like a bird. His eyes widened, turning to you with a big smile. “You’re amazing!” He tackled you in a hug, making you groan as you both laid back on the couch. “You know I love jellies!” He started planting little kisses all over your face, making you laugh.

“You’re this excited for jellies? Jake, that’s not even the actual gift.” You giggled, your cheeks heating up from his touch. Jake pulled away and frowned.

“It’s not?”

“A part of it, yeah. But the actual gift is something else.” He glanced back down at your lips, then to your eyes, and smiled.

He pulled away from you as quickly as possible, grabbing the wrapped box inside the box with a huge smile. He slightly shook it, making your smile drop. “Is it a Lego?” He giggled.

“You always ruin it!” You groaned, hitting his shoulder.

Jake laughed, taking off the wrapping paper. He gasped, turning to you with widened eyes. “No way! Jack Sparrow’s ship!?” He exclaimed, raising the Lego box so you could also see it.

At his reaction, your smile reappeared. Jake turned the Lego box around and smiled at you. “I really wanted this one. You’re like a genie, how did you know?” He smiled, mixing his words up. “Seriously, you’re the best girlfriend ever!” He threw the box on the couch and tackled you again.

“It’s just a Lego, but I’m glad you like it.”

You giggled as he pressed his lips on your lips, then your chin, trailing his lips softly around your face. “Like it? It’s my favorite movie, I love it. But I love you more.” He pressed his lips on yours. You held the back of his neck, holding him close to you as you smiled into the kiss. Jake couldn’t help but do the same. “Thank you, beautiful.”

“There’s a few other things in the box, but they’re small.” You mumbled against his lips.

Jake dramatically fell on top of you, making you gasp for air as a laugh escaped you. 

“You’re heavy.”

He let his lips touch your collarbone, pressing little kisses. “Am not.” He mumbled, sneaking his arms around your waist to switch positions. Now, you were lying on him, legs on each side of his waist. With a smile, Jake tucked a piece of your hair behind your ear. “You’re beautiful.”

“You are.” You complimented back, poking his beautiful nose, that action and that shy smile of yours winning Jake over as he closed his eyes and laughed. “What?” You laughed at his random reaction.

He moved his hands down to your waist, holding you close to him. “You’re the best gift I’ve ever received.” You chuckled, making him tilt his head upwards to chase your lips. “Really. You’re my greatest gift.” He mumbled against your lips.

“Shut up.” You smiled, pulling away to grab the box. “You can open the rest later.”

He frowned, “why not now?”

“Because I wrote some letters and I’m going to be embarrassed if you read them out loud.” You played with the hem of his shirt.

“You wrote me letters? Plural?” You nodded, making him take his hand off you to touch his heart. “My heart. Stop being so perfect or I might die.” He cried.

You laughed, getting off of him and taking the box with you. “Never mind. You’re not getting these letters ever.”

Jake gasped, quickly sitting up to grab you and pull you on his lap. “I need to read them or I’ll die.” His lips brushed the skin under the shell of your ear.

You shift your head to the side with a smile. “Too bad.”

He scoffed, his fingers starting to tickle you, making you gasp and fall back on the couch.

“That’s cheating!”

“Let me read them! Let me read them!” He teased as he continued to tickle you, tears forming in your ears from laughing and trying to push him off. “Let me read them! Let me—“

“—okay!” You managed to say in between gasps.

Jake stopped, his hands still in your waist with a teasing smile. “For real?”

“Only if you give me a kiss.” You teased back, pouting your lips.

“My goddess.” He smiled cheekily as he leaned down for a sweet, tasting, and passionate kiss on your lips. You giggled as his soft hands squeezed your waist.

“You’re so cringey.” You said as his lips moved down to your neck.

He gently bit you, making you gasp and hit the back of his head. He chuckled, planting a long-lasting kiss in the same spot.

“Only for you, baby.”

You rolled your eyes at his words. Yet you smiled. Because you were so in love with this man.

“Is this why you have a bump in the head?”

Jake’s family bursted into laughter at your question, making you frown at your boyfriend.

“That is so mean!” Jake gasped, dramatically rolling his eyes. He crossed his arms around his waist and lied back on the chair.

“Dude, that is exactly why you have a bump in the head.” His older brother snorted. “Actually, I need to touch it. Come here.” He teased. Jake pushed him off, making you giggle.

“I feel slightly offended you never showed me this video.” You said as you handed the phone back to the older woman.

“Oh, we wanted to. But Jaeyun basically blackmailed us. Didn’t want his girlfriend to see how bad of a skater he was.” She commented, giving a cheeky smile to his youngest son.

“Mom!”

Everyone at the table continued laughing, making Jake completely lose it. Your hand subconsciously moved to the guy’s thigh, making him sigh.

“Is this hate on jake day?” He complained.

“That’s everyday, bro.” His brother answered, making you snort.

Your boyfriend turned to you with betrayal in his eyes. “Not you switching sides. Traitor.”

He looked away, making you laugh, your cheeks heating up and starting to hurt from how hard you were laughing.

“Don’t talk to Y/nnie like that, Jaeyun!” His father spoke up, making you both look at him. “You should be thanking her for even being here with a lazy boy like you.”

You and his brother covered your own mouths to stop yourselves from laughing at how Jake’s jaw dropped. “I–I’m not lazy.” He stuttered.

“He’s actually very productive, sir.” You decided to speak up.

“Oh is he?” His father asked, making you nod.

Without you really noticing, Jake stared at you, that little smile reappearing when he heard you speak up. He knew his family was just joking around, he knew you knew that as well, but he always loved how you were there to defend him, even if it was something little like calling him lazy.

“You remember how I got a bad test grade in physics?” They all nodded, “Jaeyun helped me study and I ended up getting a ninety-five in all of the tests he helped me study with.”

“Really?” Mr. Sim turned to his son, a small proud look on his face.

Jake looked down, a little more shy now.

“I ended up being top three in the class. Your son’s really smart. Really good tutor.” You commented with a casual demeanor, stuffing your mouth with food.

“I’m glad to hear that, Y/n.” The man smiled.

Jake’s ears warmed up, his hand grabbing yours under the table for support. You glanced at him and smiled shyly.

“Yo, I have another video of Jake falling!” His brother clapped with a laugh.

You let go of your boyfriend’s hand and giggled, “Let me see!”

You said as you scooted closer to his mother and brother. Jake stared at you, a smile appearing on his lips as he watched you completely lose it over the video his brother had shown you.

“Did you really just do a backflip just because you didn’t want to say “I love you” back?”

Jake stared at you in complete shock, watching you casually stand back up in his bed.

“That I just did.” You answered.

He scoffed, “where did you even learn how to do a backflip?”

“I was in gymnastics?”

“No, you weren’t.”

“I could’ve been.”

He tilted his head to the side, knowing you too well. “Did you learn from a tiktok?” You stared at him then smiled innocently, “Y/n, you’re seriously going to get hurt one of these days.” He said worriedly, jumping on the bed and pulling you down with him.

“You’re so cute when you get worried.” You smiled playfully as he wrapped an arm around your waist, lying his head on your chest.

“Sorry for not wanting my girlfriend to die for doing a backflip.” He mumbled, the vibration of his voice sending shivers down your spine.

“You’re literally a silly goose.” You joked.

He raised his head to look at you in utter shock. “You did not just call me a silly goose.”

“That’s what you are.”

“That’s so cringey!” He snorted.

You pushed his face back where it was, making him giggle. You placed your fingers on his head and ran them through his hair, making him hum.

“Thanks for today. It was a great day.” You said, feeling Jake smile on your chest. You smiled too, caressing his head. “I’m so happy you’re my boyfriend.” You mumbled, eyes closing.

Jake opened his, raising his head just a bit to look at you. “Really?”

You nodded, opening an eye to smile at him. He shyly smiled, scooting closer so his lips could touch yours. He was positioned between your legs, very comfortably as his arms were on each side of your waist.

“And I’m–” He paused to leave a soft kiss. “–I’m the luckiest man on the planet for having you.”

You giggled, your hands leaving his hair to grab his cheeks instead. “Yeah, you are.”

He stuck his tongue out for a second before pressing his lips on yours again, melting with your touch as you smiled into the kiss.

“If we ever break up, just know someone did voodoo shit on me.” Jake said after pulling away from you.

“What if I was the one that did voodoo stuff on you?” You asked, raising your eyebrows.

Jake pretended to think, biting his bottom slip with a grin. “That’s hot.”

You pushed him off with a laugh, making him rest on his arm with a smile on his face as he watched you.

“You’re such a weirdo!”

“But I’m your weirdo.” He winked playfully, already knowing you’d be on the floor laughing at him.

“My baby!”

You had exclaimed as Jake appeared out of the trees with his puppy on a leash. With a smile, he approached you, “hi, baby!” He said back.

You glanced at him and scoffed. “I was talking to Layla, you dummy.”

“You always know how to break my heart.” He touched his heart dramatically, making you laugh as you kneeled down for Layla.

“Oh you cute little puppy.” You said in a baby voice, making Jake smile down at both of you as you kept caressing Layla. “I missed you too, cutie.” You pouted as you kissed the puppy.

Jake simply stood there, staring at both of his favorite humans with a sour look in his eyes that screamed “I’m third-wheeling”. When you kept playing with Layla and ignoring your boyfriend, he let out a huge sigh, getting both of you and Layla’s attention.

“Something wrong?” You asked him, completely clueless as you kept babying Layla.

“Uh, yeah? You haven’t said anything to me? Your boyfriend?” He crossed his arms around his waist, the leash still being held by him.

You chuckled, giving Layla one last kiss before standing up to look at Jake, blowing a kiss in the air to which he tried to grab with his hand like the joker he was. “I just gave a bunch of kisses to Layla, dude.”

“I don’t care. I want to kiss my beautiful girl.” He tilted his head to the side, pouting and blinking dramatically, looking exactly like Layla.

You giggled, placing a quick kiss on his lips. Jake instantly melted at your touch, whining when you pulled away and took the leash from him to walk Layla. “It’s been a while since I saw my daughter.” You spoke to the air, Jake basically chased after you. “You missed me, Layla?” You pouted as you walked in synchronization.

“Yes, but I love daddy more!” Jake said in a baby voice, making you gasp.

“She doesn’t even sound like that.”

He shrugged, walking all stiff, stomping on the way. “That’s what she told me.”

You hummed, glancing his way before you smiled. “You’re so cute like this.”

“Like what?”

You turned to him, nudging his shoulder with yours. “You want me to kiss you the same way or–”

“–yes.”

You froze, stared at him, blinked. “You want to be my puppy?” 

You pursed your lips to keep yourself from laughing.

“Not like that! Hey, don’t–don’t laugh like that.” He pointed at you with widened eyes. “You gave her a bunch of kisses whereas I didn’t get any.” He frowned, looking away.

You smiled at your boyfriend, signaling Layla to sit. When she did, you placed a hand on Jake’s head, patting it. “Who’s my good boy?” You said in the same tone you use for Layla, making Jake scoff, throwing his head back causing your hand to fall on his chest.

“You’re so annoying.” He mumbled under his breath but still, his eyes glistened when your eyes locked with his.

“Am I? So you don’t want me to kiss you anymore?” You pouted playfully, the hand on his chest moving upwards to his cheek, your thumb lingering on his bottom lip.

His lips twitched into a small grin, “I’m so annoyingly in love with you. Of course I do.” 

His hand moved to your waist, pulling you close to him to let his lips move an inch closer to yours.

“No–”

“–No PDA, I know.” He finished your sentence with a chuckle, making you look down awkwardly to Layla. Jake grabbed your chin and tilted it upward just so he could look directly into your eyes with that smile of his. “Just a kiss.” He pouted his lips, mimicking a kiss.

You rolled your eyes, leaning close enough that your lips touched before completely locking them together. Jake, like always, melted in your touch, letting you take control before you quickly pulled away, making him whine right when Layla barked.

“Look, like owner, like puppy.” You joked, kneeling down to pet Layla before walking away.

Jake mimicked you before hugging you tightly from behind, keeping you from walking freely.

“Get off me!”

“Never!”

As you two continued to bicker, Layla kept barking and jumping around, making you both laugh.

“Ew, who’s Kim Nari and why is she commenting on Jake’s posts and tweets. Obsessed much?” Yizhou commented.

“Let me see!” She passed her phone to Yunjin.

You looked up from your Ipad, oblivious to the conversation.

“You know her?” Yunjin asked as she passed the phone to you. You shrugged as you scrolled down her profile on Instagram, then shook your head, handing back the phone to your best friend.”

“No idea. Probably a girl from his class or something.”

“Is that not weirder?” Yizhou asked.

You chuckled at her comment and expression. Yizhou was the jealous type, same with Yunjin, maybe even possessive. You, on the other hand, weren’t jealous at all.

Jake and you had a healthy relationship, a few misunderstandings there and then but nothing that wasn’t fixable with a simple conversation. Jealousy from your end didn’t exist. You trusted Jake, he had never given you a reason to make you jealous. He was friendly, sure, your friends always made comments about it, “too friendly” “she’ll misunderstand” “if a boy did that to me…”, but you knew Jake, he would never do such a thing.

After the small conversation where the girls discussed how they were the jealous type, you said your goodbyes and parted ways out of the cafeteria. You were supposed to meet up with Jake because of a stupid physics exam you needed to study for. 

You had forgotten your glasses and were too lazy for contacts today, so you were basically walking blind through campus, trying to find your boyfriend. 

You would think that when you find your boyfriend with a girl holding his arm for dear life, would make you jealous. And it did—just a little bit, but you pushed the thought away and smiled when you approached your partner.

“Hi!” You smiled politely at the girl.

She ignored you, in a way. She did give you a complete sour look, making your smile fade away. You turned to your boyfriend, who had a similar expression to the girl next to him.

“Hey.” He smiled. Though you noticed quickly how his smile didn’t reach his eyes, making you tilt your head.

“You okay?” He nodded, leaning down for a small kiss. You smiled and turned to the girl next to him, “I’m Y/n. Jake’s girlfriend.”

You didn’t try to sound rude, it hadn’t even crossed your mind to act that way. You just wanted to say hi to Jake’s friends, that was all.

“Obviously I know that?” She scoffed before turning to Jake, brushing her hand on his arm. “See you later?” Jake nodded before waving hehe goodbye.

You looked between the two, a small frown finding itself crawling up your lips.

“You’re going out?” You furrowed your eyes in confusion.

“What? I mean, yeah, but it’s a group thing.” He explained.

“Oh..okay.” You smiled.

Jake grabbed your chin, “You okay?”

You nodded, “Yeah, I just thought you were helping me study later today but it’s fine. I can study by myself today.”

He smiled, giving you a kiss on the cheek. “You’re the best. It’s a last-minute thing. Nari’s birthday.” He mentioned, making you nod.

“Nari.” You repeated, he nodded. You nodded back and smiled. “Right, yeah, cool, cool. Cool.”

Just friendly. That’s what he was. He would never do something like that to you. He loved you.

“Hey, can I ask you something?”

Jake didn’t bother looking up from his laptop. He was pretending to be busy just so he wouldn’t have to look at you. He couldn’t. Not now. Not for a while.

“Uh, is it important?” He asked you, sounding uninterested from the start.

You sat up, your back glued to the frame of the bed. You were wearing nothing but your underwear and an oversized t-shirt you had stolen from Jake’s closet just a second ago.

“Uh, I was just going to ask if you were okay. You were acting strange earlier.” You said, the way you stood and the way Jake wasn’t paying attention to you at all, made you feel smaller. You hugged your knees, covering yourself.

“Yeah, I’m okay.” He answered, his voice sounding shallow, no emotions.

You nodded, forgetting he wasn’t paying attention to you.

“Okay.” You said after a second.

It wasn’t normally like this. After being intimate, Jake would still be cuddled up with you, legs and arms all wrapped around you. It made you feel safe. Wanted. He had been your first time, he had been the only person you’ve ever been with and was even the one you wanted to be with for the rest of your life. This time? It was awkward. It was almost forced. You had always been communicative about everything, but it was different today. He had been less intimate, more quiet. And that made you feel unsafe. You loved him, you really do, but it almost felt like you had had sex with a stranger, not your boyfriend.

Instead of bringing you water without you having to ask, instead of holding you. He left you. He kissed you, said nothing, grabbed himself a water, and started doing whatever he was doing now.

You felt used and thrown away like a rag doll.

“I’ll see you later.” You said, your voice coming out shakier than intended.

Jake took his AirPod out, watching as you moved around to grab your stuff as quickly as possible. “You’re not sleeping over?” He asked.

You wiped the tears that were beginning to form around the corner of your eyes, before looking at him, a smile appearing in your lips. “Uh, I have homework to do.” You lied.

He nodded, going back to his laptop.

You bit your bottom lip to keep yourself from crying and nodded. The usual routine was him trying to convince you to drive you back to your dorm and you complaining that you’d just take an uber, bickering back and forth. It was different. Distant. You walked to him and gave him a quick kiss on the head.

“I love you.” You mumbled against it.

When you heard no response, you nodded and walked away, completely heartbroken.

You never had problems like this before. Relationship fights? Never. You and Jake were the textbook high school sweethearts. The role models to a lot of people. The couple that everyone looked up because of how healthy and communicative you guys were. Communication was never a problem. Seeing him now, being closed off, was breaking you.

You understood needing time alone, that was never a problem for you. You were the type of girl that needed her own time. He understood that. But you always communicated that

So for once, you left it alone. If he needed some time alone, you were okay with that. You could always talk about it the next day.

Right?

Today was a good day. It had been a few days since you spoke to Jake about the intimacy situation. He agreed with you, saying he was just busy and tired. You understood that easily, you even told him to tell you when you needed time alone.

He became busier these days, but still made time for you to see each other for a little bit. You guys were okay.

The reason why it’s such a good day was because your English professor had made an announcement where he called up two of his best students and gave them a letter of recommendation for the internships they had spoken about earlier in the semester. You were one of them, next to Park Jongseong—also known as Jay— a high school friend of yours who you had grown distant with, and one of Jake’s best friends. You started the day with the right foot.

And you were excited to tell Jake. Invite him to eat something. Your treat.

When you started walking around campus, you  found him near a bench next to a few of his friends and Kim Nari. The same girl that had spawned out of nowhere and made your friends–hell, even you–overthink about everything.

“Hey, Nari.” You waved as politely as you could.

She looked you up and down, making you do the same–at yourself, and smiled awkwardly.

“Yikes.” She chuckled dryly, tapping Jake on the shoulder, who was busy speaking to Heeseung and Sunghoon.

“Oh, hey.” He spoke dryly.

You frowned at how Jake received you, a small chuckle escaping your lips. “You okay?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?” He asked.

Your mouth opened to speak, but no words came out. You scratched the back of your neck awkwardly, “Well, you know the internship I was planning on doing this summer? Mr. Suh gave me and Jay a letter of recommendation and I’m pretty sure I’ll be having a permanent job at the company!” You squealed, clearly excited.

“No way, congratulations, Y/nnie!” Sunghoon smiled, throwing a high-five in the air for you to catch.

You laughed and thanked him, turning to your boyfriend. Confused at his reaction, you waved your hand in front of him, “Earth to Sim Jaeyun?” You joked.

He stared down at you, a look in his eyes that you didn’t recognize. 

“I was thinking maybe we could go eat something? My treat, of course.” You smiled proudly. “Seeing as I’ll be employed.”

“Have I ever told you how annoying you are?”

He spoke after a few seconds.

You chuckled, thinking it was a joke. “Plenty of times, actually.”

You smiled, not understanding. From Jake’s side, Nari snickered, making you frown.

“Did calling you annoying make you want to sleep with other people?”

You pursed your lips then caught yourself laughing. “What now?”

“You think I wouldn’t find out?” He scoffed a laugh.

“Find out what?” You asked.

“That you’re being passed around, sleeping around.” He spat. You stared at Jake in utter shock, stepping back at his sudden and very brutal words. “You said all about trust and communication and you’re over there cheating on me? Calling me names and shit?” He raised his voice, gaining attention from the crowd walking.

Your eyes started to move around, “I-I’m so confused right now.” You looked back at his friend before looking at your boyfriend. “You’re the only person I’ve ever been with?” You said in a smaller voice. It wasn’t a question, it was a fact.

“You’re a liar.” He laughed.

“Jake, where is this all coming from?” You shook your head, starting to feel light-headed. “I’ve never done anything to make you feel this way, have I?”

“Well, how the hell would I know? You’ve been keeping it a secret from me.”

You tilted your head, your lips trembling as you tried to keep yourself composed and not cry in public. “Can you please be specific? Who told you all this? I don’t even hang out with anyone other than your friends and my friends. Why would I be doing sexual stuff with anyone other than you?” You asked.

Sunghoon kissed his teeth, making a noise that distracted you. He apologized and looked away.

“It doesn’t matter who told me. What matters is that you’re a fucking slut.”

A single tear shed from your eyes, making you wipe it quickly. “It does matter who told you all of this because it’s a complete lie. Why would you believe someone else over me?” You asked, scrunching your nose. “Was it Sunghoon? Heeseung?” He stared at you blankly. “Was it Nari?”

“Don’t involve me in this.” The girl scoffed.

Still, she stood behind Jake. And it made your heart ache because that was usually you in that spot.

You turned to Jake and smiled sadly, still trying not to cry. “Let’s talk about this later. I-I can’t do this right now.” You said softly. “Not in public, please.”

“Y/n, I don’t want to fucking talk later. Just admit it.”

“I’m not admitting something that I’m not.” You responded back with that same voice you always used on him, not being used to being harsh on Jake. “You really think I’d do something like that to you?” Your vision blurred as you spoke.

“I don’t know anymore.”

“Well that’s insane, Jake. We’ve been what—almost four years together and you chose to believe her words over mine?” You cried, not letting him speak. “Do you know how stupid that is? Is this why you were acting off? Because ever since you started hanging out with her, you’ve been off.”

“Right, now you want to talk about it.” He scoffed.

“I always want to talk about it, Jake! You’re the one that always brushes off the topic. We’re adults, for God’s sake, if you want to be with someone else, you can just break up with me.” You cried in front of him. “You don’t need to call me by names that you know don’t even make sense to use!”

“I didn’t cheat on you.”

“Neither did I.” You bit your lip.

“Why does it cost you so much to admit it? You’re a fucking whore, Y/n. You’re a gold-digger, and a fucking slut. Admit it.” You furrowed your eyebrows in complete heartbreak.

“A g—a gold digger?” You repeated, taking a fist of your hair to keep yourself from falling apart. “Jake, I never ask you to buy me stuff. What the actual fuck is wrong with you? The only thing we spend money on is freaking ramyeon. I come here with the news that I’m being fucking employed in a few months and this is what you say to me?” You laughed, running your fingers through your hair in frustration. "That I'm a gold digger?"

With nothing else, instead of listening to him again, you quickly took off your necklace—the one that Jake gave you on your first anniversary—grabbed his hand and placed it. “Here. Give it to her since you want her so badly you accuse me of things you know I’d never—in my life—do to you.” You gave him a saddened smile.

You glanced at Nari for a second, almost losing it over how her face completely turned upside down—a smile, eyes shining bright—you almost lost it.

You wiped your tears and ignored Jake, walking away from the scene, ignoring the people around you.

Behind you, had been standing Jay, watching the scene unfold with a pain in his heart. He watched as you walked away, his legs moving almost on his own as he ran to catch up to you.

“Y/n.” He called after you.

You continued to wipe your tears, ignoring whoever was calling. For a second, you almost collapsed on the floor as soon as you realized you were nowhere to be seen by the others. But you didn’t, because the moment you opened your eyes, he was there.

“Shh, you’re okay.” Jay held you, backpack thrown just next to you as one arm held you close to him, covering you so you could let it all out, whilst the other was running through your hair. “It’s okay. You’re going to be okay. Just let it all out.”

You cried even harder at his words.

It was stupid how much an accusation from the person you trusted the most could do to you.

Jay kissed the top of your head, lifting your face enough so he could see you. “I can take you to Yizhuo or someone. You want me to do that?” You nodded, “okay, let me call them, yeah? Stay here.” You nodded again as you watched him stand up and take his phone out.

You wiped your face, but the tears kept coming. You managed to stand up, Jay quickly turning his attention to you. He put his phone down and gently took you in his arms again.

“I’m so sorry about Jake—“

“—don’t apologize for him, Jay.” You managed to laugh between the sobs. “It’s not your fault.” You hiccuped.

“Neither is yours.” He whispered gently.

That made you break. Completely. Jay had felt it all. And he hated Jake for it. He hated himself for letting his best friend treat the way he just did.

The moment you pulled over in front of the bar, you regretted it. There stood a very drunken Sim Jaeyun, stumbling on his own feet as he held onto the pole whilst he kept mumbling nonsense words to the security guard, you already knew this was going to be a long ride.

It was a little bit selfish on your part, you would be lying to yourself if you said you didn’t want to hear what came out of a drunken Jake, especially after the messages he had sent you. It wasn’t that you were going to forgive him, or go back to him after this, you were just curious.

“There she is!” Jake excitedly pointed right at you, making you realize you were actually there, for him. You don’t even say anything as Jake made his way to you, again, stumbling on his feet. All you could do was look away, tapping your fingers on the wheel anxiously.

Without saying anything, you unlocked the door so he could get in, mentally preparing yourself for a very quiet and awkward silence, or a non-stop blabbering from the guy. Both ended in a very unfinished discussion.

“I didn’t think you’d come get me. I thought I was hallucinating.” Jake said in a pout, fumbling with the seatbelt. You said nothing and instead stared down to where the seatbelt was. “I hate seatbelts, they never work.” He mumbled.

You pushed his hands away softly, taking the seatbelt from him and connecting it to the buckle for him before leaning back to your seat.

“Thanks.” 

He gave you that sweet smile. The one that used to make you smile so hard. When he noticed your blank expression, he sighed, anxiously starting to tap his fingers on the arm rest between you. For a moment, you closed your eyes, trying to calm yourself before you could throw him out the car. When he didn’t stop, you pushed his legs to the side, opening the small compact in front of his seat to take out the small star squishy, handing it to his left hand. “Oh.., thanks, Y/n.”

He mumbled, a little more quiet but comfortable now.

Instead of responding, you started the car, turning the radio’s volume up in hope there was a good song playing to interrupt whatever was happening.

As you started driving away from the bar, you couldn’t help but to glance at Jake a few times, hoping he’d be asleep from how quiet he was. But instead, you found him leaning back on the seat, staring right at you. The look in his eyes, it was different but scarily similar from the one he used to look at you with when you were together, almost as if he were reminiscing what used to be.

“What?” You asked when you caught him.

He chuckled softly, looking at the window with a small “nothing” leaving his lips.

For a second there, you almost smiled when you heard his laugh, and you hated yourself for it.

“Where are you taking me?” He mumbled, licking his lips as he sat up straight, watching as your hands moved smoothly around the wheel. “Are you kidnapping me?” He snorted a small laugh.

You furrowed your eyebrows, looking at him from the rear view mirror. “Sure, Jake.” You muttered.

He nodded, fidgeting the small toy you had given him between his fingers. “I thought you were joking about picking me up.” He confessed.

“You sound pretty sober for someone who kept messing up his text messages just a few minutes ago.” You showed a bland smile, not to him, just ahead.

He giggled, the sound of it echoing on your ears. He pinched his fingers together, raising it right in front of him, holding it close to his face as he smiled. “Still a liiiittle bit drunk. The security guard took my drink away because I told him you were picking me up.” He frowned.

“He knows me?” You asked, glancing at him for a quick second.

He shrugged, laughing continuously. “I told him that my ex was picking me up because I messed up and because I wanted to apologize,” you froze for a second. “then he was like “maybe you should be sober when you do it” and I’m like “sir, no offense—“ well, actually, I’m not sure what else I said, if I’m being honest.” He said in between laughs.

When he quieted down after hearing no response from him, he sighed, loudly this time. “You’re pretty quiet.”

“I’m driving.”

“Remember that night when we went for a late night drive and you started saying I drove like a grandma?” He chuckled, “you looked so pretty that night. I mean, you always do but that day was just very special. We had our first kiss that night and it was raining, I remember you said it was so magical.” He lied back on the seat, looking at you with a soft smile. “I remember that night well.” He mumbled quietly.

You slowed down the car as the light turned orange, putting your foot on the brake. “Why were you out here alone, Jake?” You asked, completely turning your attention to him once the light went red. “Were you just...drinking for no reason?” You looked at him up and down, with sympathy.

Jake pouted then gave you a flat smile, “I guess.”

“You guess?” You scoffed.

“Yeah, can’t I just drink to drink? Is that so bad?” He furrowed his eyebrows, looking for answers in your eyes before you opened your mouth, watching as you blinked away. “Do–do you not like that I drink?” He mumbled the question. “I can stop if that’s what you want, you know? I’m not an alcoholic, I’m just in my feelings. I swear, if you tell me to stop drinking, I will.” He sat up straight.

Before you could say anything, you heard a honk coming from behind you, causing you to snap out from the conversation to drive, making Jake sigh very out loud.

“It’s none of my business if you drink or not, Jake.”

You said after a few seconds of silence, putting your hands back on the wheel.

“Okay.” He whispered.

“Okay.” You whispered back.

He nodded, looking out the window to distract himself. “Are you and Jay dating?”

You stopped at the red light, instantly turning to him with a confused expression on your face. “What?”

“You and Jay. I don’t know, you guys act like you like each other or something.” He shrugged his shoulders, “Always hanging out with each other. Seriously, ever since you came back, it’s like you’ve been inseparable.”

“We aren’t dating. But even if we were, it’s none of your business, Jake.” He rolled his eyes, signaling you to drive. You did as he said, looking ahead, “Why do you even care, anyway?” You asked with a sour look.

“I don’t.”

“If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be asking.”

He scoffed, “I don’t like the idea of my best friend and my ex-girlfriend dating, sue me.”

You blinked multiple times, trying to understand the words that came out of his mouth. “How is that bad compared to you dating the girl that spread rumors about me?” You scoffed back.

“I’m not dating her anymore.”

“Still did. Jake, is this why you got drunk? Because you don’t want me dating Jay?” You asked carefully, your hands gripping on the steering wheel tighter than before. “Because if that’s the reason, then that’s insanely immature.” You shook your head in disbelief.

“So what if that is the reason? Yeah, maybe I got mad that my best friend fucking ditched me to hang out with my ex-girfrliend.” You froze at his sudden raise of voice, making you flinch. “Or maybe it’s the fact that after I tried to speak to you to apologize, you decided to ignore me to hang out with my best friend!”

“I’m actually going to crash us into a tree if you keep talking, Jaeyun.” 

You threatened, making him freeze on the spot and slip back on the seat. “Y-you brought it up.” He muttered.

“Because I didn’t think you’d actually tell me the reason.” You responded back bluntly.

Jake bit his bottom lip, playing with the star squishy. “Well,” He paused, calming his voice. “Do you like him? Jay?”

You glanced at him for a quick second. “We’re just friends.”

“We were also friends.”

You sighed, not knowing what to say. “That’s…different. Why are you asking me this? All of a sudden you care?” You shook your head.

“I’ve always cared about you, Y/n.”

You scoffed, pulling over to his apartment complex, “You have a funny way of showing it, Jake.”

He sighed, reclining his seat back to its original position as you parked before turning to your side. “I know. And I plan on fixing that. Fixing myself. I know I messed up but I promise I’ll change, Y/n.” He tried to reach for your hand which you gently took away, making him frown.

“What made you change your mind all of a sudden?” You ask in a hesitant tone. “Was it Jay?” He slowly nodded, “So it wasn’t even me?” You scoffed.

“What do you mean?” He tilted his head in confusion. “Of course it’s because of you.”

You grabbed your face in your hands in frustration before looking back at him, “Did you just realize you’re wrong because of Jay? Because you don’t like that we’re friends?” You looked him up and down.

“One of the many reasons, yes, but–”

“You’re unbelievable!” You raised your voice at him yet it stood with disappointment, making his whole expression turn into a sad puppy-ed one, “So after all this time, you still can’t listen to me and not someone else?” Jake stayed quiet, his mouth moving but no words coming out, making you sigh. “Just save it, please. You’re drunk, you should rest.” You unlocked the doors, not looking at him.

“I’m not leaving until we talk, Y/n.” He reached to lock the door, his cologne hitting you harder than it ever did before. “Please.” 

His breath hit you, the scent of alcohol making you realize how dumb this was. “We’re doing this when you’re sober. Now go.” You unbuckled his seatbelt, causing him to fall back on his seat.

“Okay.” He stepped out of the car in a second. “Can you walk me to my apartment? I don’t know where my keys are.” He mumbled as he started fumbling through his pockets.

With no hesitation, you got out of the car and quickly turned it off, rushing to his side. Jake, as if it were routine, snuck his arm around your shoulder, holding on to you. His hand gently fell on your arm, making you stiffened for a second before you started walking into the apartment complex. You said nothing on the way, only listened to Jake’s little rant about the series he recently started watching–the same series you had said was your favorite because it reminded you of Jake. But you looked past it, not wanting to draw attention to yourself, to remind the drunken man you were carrying, that it was you who was carrying him back to his place.

“Can you give me your key?” You asked in a quiet and gentle voice as you both stepped out of the elevator.

Jake fumbled his pockets, looking at you with a drunken smile as he handed you his keys.

“Thanks.” You mumbled as you stopped in front of the apartment. Smoothly, you opened the door and pushed both of you inside, closing the door behind you as you made your way straight to the guy’s bedroom.

Jake started saying words, words you somehow chose not to hear as you pushed the door to his bedroom open and basically threw him on the bed. Unfortunately for you, his grip on you hadn’t loosened up and you fell right beside him on the bed, making you roll your eyes as you sat up.

“Take your shoes off.” You ordered, completely ignoring how he was still holding onto you.

“Can you help me, please?” He pouted, reaching for his feet but failing to grab them.

You sighed, taking his shoes off and going to stand up to put them in his closet. Before you could stand up, Jake grabbed your arm, stopping you from doing so. 

“What?”

“Don’t leave.”

You stared at him, another sigh escaping your lips as you gave him a flat smile. “I’m just putting your shoes in your closet, Jake.” At your answer, Jake nodded, letting go of your arm.

You quickly stepped into his closet, placing his shoes where the others were. As you were about to walk out, your foot bumped into a hardened box, making you glance at its way to move it away. A pastel-yellow colored box stood out from his hung jackets, making you stare at it, frozen in place.

That same box looked exactly like the one you had given him for his birthday last year, one that he had said he’d keep forever. And it hadn’t crossed your mind that maybe he did mean it when he said that.

You glanced at Jake, whose eyes had been fluttering open, trying to stay awake, before you looked back down to the box. You couldn’t. You couldn't meddle into his things. It took everything in you to push the box back in the dark to pretend it wasn’t there and not open it for a quick peek.

“I’m going to get you some water and Advil, don’t fall asleep yet.” You mumbled quietly as you stepped out of the closet and walked past Jake.

“Okay, Y/nnie.”

You smiled at yourself at the nickname, quickly making your way to the kitchen to find Advil and a glass of water, then walked back into the room. You put the stuff down on the nightstand and patted Jake’s arm to wake him up.

“Jake.”

He hummed.

“Take the Advil first and then you can sleep.”

He hummed again.

You sighed, already running out of patience. You pushed him further into the bed, taking a seat next to him, the bed shifting its weight under you. You took the Advil and with the other hand grabbed Jake’s chin to softly open it. “Tongue.” You simply said. Jake stuck his tongue out just a tiny bit for you to be able to place the Advil on it, “swallow.” He closed his mouth, wincing as the Advil went down his throat, making him sit up.

“Water?” He nodded. You passed him the water and he took with a flat smile and shut eyes, then he sipped all of it, the only sound in the room being the gulps of water.

When he finished, he opened his eyes and stared at you. “Thank you.”

You gave him a small smile, “of course.”

He bit his lip, putting the glass back on the night stand before falling back on the bed, making you smile a little bit. He looked exactly like a little kid. Face buried in his pillow, shirt lifted slightly up to reveal the small belly skin. You almost felt like you were back to six months ago, a very familiar place. 

You began to stand up, but the softness of his voice stopped you.

“I’m sorry for hurting you, Y/n.”

You froze in place, not wanting to make a sound.

“I’m so sorry.” He cried into his pillow, making you shut your eyes. “I-I should’ve known. I should’ve believed you before anyone else. I should’ve asked you. I should’ve listened to you.” He stumbled with his words. “I wish we could go back. I know we can’t. But I wish.”

His voice sounded shakier, sadder, and it made your heart hurt. Because you had never seen Jake like this before, this vulnerable. It made you believe he had finally changed.

“I want to change, trust me, I do. I want to be better for you. B-but you hate me, you deserve someone better. You deserve to be with someone who sees you.” He choked on his words.

You didn’t know what to say. It’s as if the cat had cut your tongue.

“I don’t hate you.”

You don’t. You could never hate Jake.

“You should. I hurt you.”

He said, still with his face buried in the pillow, making his voice sound muffled.

“You did. But that doesn’t mean I hate you.” You said in a soft tone, turning around to take a look at Jake.

He unburied his face, taking the pillow in his hands as he looked at you with reddened eyes. “D-do you think one day, you’ll forgive me?” He asked in between breaths.

“That’s if you have a good apology, Jake.” You smiled at him.

He chuckled, looking down at his hands as a tear fell down. “I’m sorry I let you down, Y/n. I promise I’ll make it up to you.” He said, his voice trembling. “I don’t care how long it takes for you to forgive me, but I’ll make it up. I’ll do anything.” He nodded repeatedly.

You stared at him for a moment before you smiled sadly, “Jake…I’m happy that you’re trying and everything, I really am. But us—“ you paused, making Jake frown. “—it’s over between us.”

At his reaction—his puffed, and teared up eyes and frown—you looked away, your own eyes betraying you by tearing up.

“B-but couples fight all the time. That’s how their relationships get stronger, no? They communicate and—“

“—Not our relationship, Jake.” You cut him off, making him sigh. “That’s why we broke up in the first place. I can’t deal with that again.”

Jake shook his head, standing up and grabbing your hand. “I’ll work on it.”

“Jake.”

“Please.” He begged.

You looked down at his hand holding yours, “Jake, you can’t just expect us to go back together because you apologize. It doesn’t work like that.” You stated, very firmly. "at least not now." You added with sincerity.

He looked at you, tears spilling down his cheek. “Okay.” He whispered.

You smiled. “Okay?”

He nodded.

“Okay.” You stated softly.

You pulled away from his hand, guiding him back to his bed. He went along, not doing anything but looking at you on the way. As he lay back on the bed, he looked up at you.

You smiled and leaned closer, making him shut his eyes. You let your lips touch his forehead just for a second, before you walked away to turn the light off and walk away.

“Y/n?”

You looked back just as you were about to shut the door. “Yeah?”

“I love you.”

You stared at him, even in the dark, you could tell his eyes were drifting to sleep.

“Good night, Jake.”

When you stepped out of your building, with your glasses and with your hair all over your face, you realized that maybe you should’ve cleaned yourself a little bit before walking out. Jay was wearing a jacket with a dark blue hoodie under, clearly freezing his ass off but acting like he wasn’t. His lips trembling said otherwise.

“The weather’s so nice.” You started the conversation as you hit his arm with the rest of your long sleeve, making him chuckle.

“You’re insane.”

You gave him a playful smile, standing beside him. “So…what are you doing here? Not that I’m complaining. When I said you genuinely saved me, you genuinely saved me.” You laughed.

Jay smiled, looking around as he took out his hand from his pocket to scratch his eyebrow. “I’m glad. Your roommate is a bit…no offense, but really unkind. I’m surprised they paired you with her.” He commented, “you’re like, the opposite.”

“It is what it is, isn’t it?” You asked.

He nodded, stepping off on the stairs to start walking. You followed slightly behind, seeing as you had shorter legs than him, and stepped into the actual campus.

“Is it weird living on campus?” Jay asked.

You frowned for a second in thought, then shook your head. “Not really, I only come here to sleep. Most of my time I spent it at work or the library. Or with you, at least recently.” You let out a giggle, making him shyly smile.

“So you hate living on campus?"

“Not necessarily. Just who I’m rooming with, I guess. Which is why I’m definitely taking on that offer about looking at apartments with you as soon as possible.”

Jay hummed in understatement, looking down at how your feet walked in synchronization. “Hey, what if—what if you move into my apartment?” You side-eyed him, making him chuckle shyly. “Not permanently. Just—you know, I have a spare room that my mom uses whenever she comes to visit or when someone needs it, you know? You wouldn’t have to worry about rent or anything.” He suggested, his hands waving in the air nervously.

You smiled at him. “Actually?”

“Yeah, why not? Unless you’re not comfortable. I understand that completely.” He nodded with a flat smile. “Just a suggestion.” He said, giving you a playful shoulder nudge.

“I can’t. You’re already helping me apartment hunting…”

“Well, that’s what good friends are for.” He shrugged casually. “You’re just more special than the others, I guess.” He added with a laugh.

“Special, huh?” You raised an eyebrow teasingly, making him roll his eyes.

“Of course you are.” He said in a much serious tone, making you bite your bottom lip and nod, looking away as the air blew on your face softly. “Anyway, it’s just so you don’t have to deal with your roommate. You can say ‘no’. I can accept rejection.” You snorted a laugh, making him smile. “Damn, didn’t think you’d laugh in my face, though.”

You covered your mouth with your left hand, playfully pushing him away with the right one, making him laugh along as the two of you walked around the corner right outside campus.

Before Jay could speak, his phone buzzed, making him quickly take out his phone from his pocket to glance at it.

“Important?” You asked, sneaking a glance as well but barely seeing anything.

He shook his head, putting the phone back in his back pocket. “Nah.” 

You nodded, looking ahead as Jay pointed at the convenience store on the corner street, “Let’s go eat something. My treat.” 

“You’re giving me lots of treats lately.” He snorted a laugh, “by next week, I might owe you a total of one million dollars.” You joked.

Jay shook his head as he started walking, looking ahead. “Nonsense. You don’t owe me anything.”

“I beg to differ.”

“All I’m doing is helping you out a little. Don’t think about repaying me or anything, please.”  You stared at him, a sigh escaping your lips but no words coming out, making Jay glance at you. “Is something wrong?”

You shook your head, waving your hand in the air as if to say “I’m cool”. “I’m just wondering how come you don’t have a girlfriend. Not that it’s a bad thing, I just–you’re a gentleman, you know?” You said, tilting your head to the side in confusion.

He nodded, looking away with a shy smile on his lips. “I–trust me, I don’t know either. I guess I just haven’t been looking for anyone.” He shrugged. Jay was lying through his teeth. 

You pouted, then smiled as a question popped in your head. “Not even a crush?”

You.

He chuckled, shaking his head after you appeared in his mind.

Of course he wouldn’t say that to you. He didn’t even consider you a crush, per se. You were more than that, you were something to him, but not just a crush. A crush was someone you admired from afar because of the idea you planted of said person. But Jay knew you, the type of person you are, what you like, what you dislike, your favorite movies, the way you reacted to stuff and what you would say after it. That’s not something just a “crush” does to you.

So, he didn’t have a crush. He wasn’t technically lying to you. Was he?

A beautiful gasp echoed in his ears, causing him to startle himself. He smiled when he saw you pointing your index finger in his face.

“What?”

“You thought of someone, didn’t you?” You asked with excitement, thinking she cracked the code.

“No, I didn’t.”

You giggled, “Yeah, you did!”

Jay stared at you with squinted eyes then looked away, making you smile proudly. “You don’t have to tell me who it is. Whoever it is though…they are really lucky.”

“You think so?” You nodded. He looked down at you and gave you a flat smile, giving you a pat in the head to which you pushed him off, making him laugh. “She’s a much better person than me. If anything, I’m the lucky one.” He added.

You dramatically covered your mouth. “If that is true, then that’s amazing. Do you plan on talking to her? Make a move?” You asked with a smile. That precious smile that first made Jay lie eyes on you back in high school.

“Uh, we talk–normal, like friends.” He stumbled across his words, making you look at him attentively, as if to say “relax, take your time”, an expression he always admired. “It’s complicated. She’s going through a lot of things and I don’t want to be a burden.” He shook his head.

You stopped in front of the convenience store, turning to Jay, you placed your hand on his shoulder. “You’re everything but a burden, Jay. I hate that you say you are. If this person is as kind as you say they are…they’d think the same. And I’m sure they’d be more than happy to have you as company.”

Jay stared down at you for a second, his eyes leaving yours to look at where your hand was. “Thanks, Y/n. T–that means a lot coming from you.”

Letting your hand fall back on your body, you smiled. “Anyone would be lucky to be close to you, Jongseong.”

“Aaaand you ruined the moment.”

You snorted a laugh, quickly patting his head before stepping into the store.

For a second there, Jay stood in the same place, wondering what the hell he saved in his past life to have someone like you, to have you say something that made him believe there was no one else that could ever make him feel the way he did with you.

And fuck, he hated the fact that he knew he would never make a move on you, even if you said he should give it a try.

He couldn’t do that to Jake, or to you, for that matter.

Jakey boy:  yo

Jakey boy:  can i talk to you?

Jay sighed as the messages came through, quickly glancing at you. You were at the register, talking to the lady behind it with a smile. He scratched his eyebrow and opened his friend’s messages.

Jay:  I'm out right now, is it important?

Jakey boy:  u getting laid? 😛

Jay:  just eating with a friend, i’ll call u when im back home

Jakey boy:  it’s ok

Jakey boy:  i just wanted an opinion

Jay:  on?

Jakey boy:  y/n

Jakey boy:  I’m going to apologize to her

Jay swallowed nervously, sending a forced reaction emoji to his last message before he turned his phone off. He turned to look at you once again, your smile infecting the register lady as you paid for a sweet treat. He ran his fingers through his hair, looking away before it could infect you.

He waited patiently, although his foot tapping on the end of the chair said otherwise.

“I can’t believe I never forced you to try these.” You said, handing one of the popsicles to Jay as you sat back down. “They’re the best popsicles ever.”

Jay smiled subconsciously as he tore the package off with you, "you've always been obsessed with banana flavored treats.” He chuckled.

You smiled widely, taking a delicious bite, making a sound that made Jay’s stomach flutter. He shook his head before taking a bite, the same size as you. He wasn’t the biggest fan of banana flavored treats, but for you? The man would try anything.

At his unfamiliar expression, you furrowed your eyebrows. “You hate it, don't you?” Before he could respond, you sighed. “It’s okay, I can eat another one by myself.” You added as you reached for his popsicle.

Jay threw his head back, shaking it as he ate the popsicle peacefully before opening his mouth to speak. “It’s surprisingly very good.”

You sat back and cheered, making the guy chuckle. “Actually?”

He nodded.

As you opened your mouth to speak with excitement, a buzz came through your phone, making you mumble a small sorry before taking it.

A single text from Jake.

Jaeyun:  can we talk?

You stared at it blankly, making Jay frown slightly at your reaction.

“Did something happen?” He asked after a second.

You put your phone down, shaking your head with a small laugh. “It’s nothing,” You took your popsicle back in your mouth to stop talking.

“Are you sure?”

You glanced at him and nodded, gathering the garbage in a pile to put it inside the plastic back. “Yeah, sorry. It’s just Jake.”

“Oh.”

You chuckled. “Yeah, oh.”

Jay let out a sigh, “Wanna talk about it?”

He did not want to talk about it. 

“Thanks, but no. I feel like such a burden bringing the same topic over and over ever since I came back.” You chuckled awkwardly.

Jay reached for your hand, the hand that was moving from plastic to plastic just to do something. “You could never be a burden, Y/n.” He looked into your eyes with an expression you hadn't noticed before, making you blow air into your cheeks, making him smile a little bit. “Sure. I’m tired of hearing about Jake being an asshole, but coming from you? Nothing is a burden.”

You nodded slowly, giving him a saddened smile. “Jake is an asshole.”

He snorted a laugh, rolling his eyes playfully. “Such an asshole.”

You both smiled at each other, a real smile–innocent, even. And Jay wished you two could stay here forever, but he also knew that wasn’t possible. So again, like the coward he thought he was, he let go of your hand and instead patted your head. “Now let’s finish this thing so I can walk you back to your dorm and rest that pretty head of yours.” He teased.

You scoffed, hitting his shoulder playfully. “Just give me the damn popsicle back. What do you mean by this thing, you hater?”

All Jay could do was smile at you, going unnoticed by the way both of your expressions turned light again by the smallest teasing joke.

“What if she casts a spell on me?” You whispered, slightly leaning over to the boy beside you.

Right beside you, Jay snorted. He knew it was a joke, but deep down, he also knew it was something else. And he really didn’t like seeing you this way, hell, he always wished he could do more than just be there for you, he always wished he could hold you when you spoke about your problems and opened up to him. But he couldn’t do that, he couldn’t betray that trust between him and his best friend, and he definitely didn’t want to ruin the friendship you and him have. So of course, he decided that as long as he was able to be there for you, he was okay.

“I’d probably keep my distance from you.” He teased back.

You quietly gasped with an offended smile, hitting his arm which made him chuckle, smile even. This way is how he liked seeing you.

Once you both quieted down and turned your attention back to Mr. Suh, Jay couldn’t help to sneak a glance at you—more specifically, your side profile. He always admired you from afar, seeing as he couldn’t really do much but stare. But even just that, made him feel guilty.

“Okay, you guys seriously need to take Y/n and Jay as an example for this project.” That caught his attention quickly, “wanna get a 100? Brainstorm, talk and talk! Don’t use ChatGPT to get ideas, hell, don’t use it at all, that’s lame as fu—“ he covered his mouth, “—almost got myself fired there. Anyways, have a great day!” Everyone laughed and stood up, leaving the class room. “Y/n, can I speak to you really quick?”

You stopped midway, looked back at Jay who simply smiled at you. “I’ll wait outside.” You nodded, walking back to Mr. Suh.

“How are you? Is everything okay?” Mr. Suh asked.

“Everything is as okay as it can be, sir.” You gave him a tight smile. 

“Y/n, are you sure? Mr. Park told me you didn’t feel okay last class. You know you can talk to me, right?” He leaned on his desk.

“I know. Jay didn’t really know what happened by the way, he was just worried so he said that.” You explained casually.

“Then what happened? Something personal?”

You shrugged. “Kind of. Family stuff. Money, the usual.” You nodded, more to yourself.

“Does this also have to do with Ja—“ You glared at him, making him literally zip his mouth with his finger. “—don’t say his name, sorry.”

“I just haven’t had a really good time, to be honest. But I won’t miss class, sir, I promise.” You sighed.

Mr. Suh squinted his eyes then nodded towards the door, “go ahead, kiddo. If you ever want to talk, though, my door’s open.” You nodded, waving on the way as you walked out.

And there he was, Jay, waiting right by the door with his fingers wrapped around his backpack. You smiled sincerely at him as you two walked to the library.

“You okay?”

You nodded. He went silent.

Because he knew you didn’t want to talk about it.

The two of you headed to the library in a painful silence, one that Jay wanted to replace with affection to demonstrate he was there for you, but again, he chose to just stand there. As soon as you entered the quiet space, Jay quickly moved a chair for you to sit on, you mumbling a “thank you” after with a smile.

He sat next to you, the side of his leg brushing against yours on the way.

“I can’t believe we're doing a formula one skit for our english class.” You giggled as you turned your ipad on, sliding it further to your left so it would be between you and Jay. “Mr. Suh is absolutely going to lose it.”

“It’s the foreigners in us.” He smiled cheekily, his smile fading away for a quick second when he checked his phone before turning it off and smiling again. “And everyone knows Formula one so..”

“You actually have me hooked with the races now.” You said as you began to click on the page you left off.

“Wait, actually? I didn’t think you’d care about it.” He lowered his voice.

You smiled at him, nudging your shoulder with his. “Jay, you were absolutely crashing out about how the season was going, it sounded entertaining. I didn’t know you were such a fan of it so I thought I’d give it a try. It’s fun, and I find George Russell interesting.”

From one moment to another, Jay’s shy and embarrassed expression turned into a sour one, “Out of all drivers that’s who you like? Seriously?”

“What? You can’t judge me for who I like!” He pursed his lips in thought, making you laugh. “I like Verstappen though, that kid Kimi too.”

Jay’s eyes lightened up, making you roll your eyes. “Did you know I met Max Verstappen once?”

“Yes, it’s all over your social media.” He snuggled his hand inside his backpack, pulling a self-made photocard of him and Max Verstappen, a picture that Jake, Jungwon, and Sunghoon were also in but were cut off, making you burst into laughter. “What?”

“Oh, you’re obsessed obsessed,” You smiled as you grabbed the photocard from him.

“My most prized possession that is, Miss Y/n.”

When you accidentally laughed a little too loud, the sound of the librarian shushing you echoed in the grand room, making both you and Jay lie back awkwardly on your seats as you now quietly giggle.

“You guys dating now?”

That voice you could recognize anywhere, and you hated yourself for it, snapped you out of the moment of rare happiness you had had in days. For a milli-second, you ignored whatever was going on—Jake standing just in front of you two with an expression that not even himself could explain, and Jay, looking straight at you in hope that maybe you didn’t hear what Jake said—but when you looked up, you gave him a smile, an honest one, but definitely not a kind one.

“I’m not doing this in a library, Jaeyun.”

Jay could only stay quiet, because he knew if he spoke, he’d lose one of you in a quick second, or both, that was if he said the wrong thing.

“Well, you’re lucky, because I’m not here for you. I'm here for Jay,” he threw a sarcastic smile right at you, making you roll your eyes as you started closing your iPad and notebook. “I didn’t think you would be here. Wouldn’t say I’m surprised though, seeing as you’ve been hanging out awfully a lot together.” He mumbled, tapping his fingernails on the table.

Instead of responding or giving him any reaction, you turned to Jay as you put all your stuff inside your bag. “We can finish this tomorrow—“

“—so you can spend more time with him?” Jake coughed “casually”.

“Dude.” Jay managed to mutter to his direction.

You scoffed, turning to him. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You come back, we have a fight, and now you’re hanging out with my best friend.” He looked around, silently laughing as if he were insane. “You’re looking for a rebound or something?” He looked you up and down, completely ignoring his friend, who he had just basically offended.

You grabbed your bag and disgustingly glared at him. “First of all, it wasn’t a fight, it was barely a conversation where I was the only one making points. Second, why the hell would I be looking for a rebound? I’m not you. And I would never do something like that to Jay.” You stood up, glanced at Jay with a tight smile then glared once again at Jake. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to be leaving before you make another dumb comment that makes no sense at all and wastes my time. See you.”

Jay quickly stood up when you started walking away, grabbing Jake by the arm to stop him. “You seriously need to stop bothering her, dude.” He commented softly.

“You’re seriously falling for her dumb act?” He scoffed.

“What act? She’s just existing and you’re making it a problem.” Jake took back his arm, slightly pushing Jay away.

“I cannot believe you’re taking her side.”

Jay wiped his hand on his face, “it’s not that, Jake. You guys have problems that you need to fix, I’m friends with both of you. I may be your best friend, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll always agree with everything you say.”

The Australian boy rolled his eyes, “whatever, man. I’ll see you later.”

As Jake walked away, Jay sighed out of frustration. Quickly grabbing his stuff, and your forgotten water bottle on the end of the table, he made his way to the direction you had run off to, in hope he could catch up to you. When he realized it was too late, he silently cursed at himself for not being quick enough.

Jake's POV

Jake knew that if Jay disagreed with him, it meant he was in the wrong. Every-damn-time. It didn’t matter what the point was, he was always right. And that bothered him to another level. How come his best friend knows his ex-girlfriend more than himself? What does he say to make it all sound right?

That was the one thing Jake was always jealous about, and the worst thing was that you never noticed. He always knew you were kind, acceptable, understandable, basically every good thing in the world. It made sense you and Jay got along once before, but now? Sure, the three of you had met around the same time, it was always the three of you until Jake confessed to you, that was when Jay grew a little bit distant from you, out of respect to both of you, of course. But Jake always kept him close, he was like that little angel on his shoulder that always wandered around with him and told him what was right or wrong, the honest one.

Seeing him walk away from him and instead go to you definitely did something to him, made him realize maybe there was something he did, that was wrong in every way.

As he stepped into the campus with a sour expression on his face, Jake was hoping he didn’t bump into any familiar faces, something about what had just happened had bothered him more than it should’ve.

“Jakey?”

Of course, the familiar face Jake was begging not to bump into at the moment, had spawned out of nowhere.

Mentally, he had cursed himself. Physically, shivers dropped down his spine, making his lips slightly twitch.

“Oh my gosh, Jakey!” Nari jumped into his arms, basically crawling on him as if he were to run away. Which in this case, that’s what he wanted to do. “How are you, baby?” She pouted, leaning over for a kiss to which he rejected.

“I’m not in the mood.” He groaned.

Nari stopped her tracks, pulling Jake with him. “Well, maybe this will cheer you up.” She giggled. That damn giggle that made Jake want to cut his ear off. “You won’t believe who I just saw…” she paused for suspense, making him stare at her blankly. “Y/n! Oh gosh, she was crying and her face was all puffy, you should’ve seen her—“

“—can you stop?”

Nari immediately obeyed, zipping her lips but giving him a sour look as she dropped her hands that were mimicking how you looked.

“Seriously. I get you don’t like her but all you’ve talked about since she came back is “y/n this,” “y/n that,” why are you so interested in her life? She didn’t even do anything to you.” He snapped.

The girl scoffed a laugh. “You’re such a hypocrite, you know that, right? I was just telling you she was crying, no need to be dramatic.” She smirked, thinking he’d crack a laugh.

“Yeah, and how is that even funny? Why would you make fun of someone who’s crying in a public space when you don’t even know if something’s happening in their life?” He stared at her disgustingly.

“jeez, Jake. I was just joking.” She looked around, hoping no one would be looking at them. “You used to play along with this stuff.”

“And I regret it.” He rolled his eyes. “Y/n is someone I care about. I don’t like how you’re treating her. And by the way, why did you lie about her threatening you on twitter? To get my attention or something?”

“She was threatening me. Still is, actually.” She shook her head.

“Then show me.” He held his palm up, “give me your phone and show me where she’s threatening you.”

Nari glared down at his hand, scoffing, clearly offended. “I’m not giving you my phone, Jake. What the fuck?”

“Nari, Y/n would never do something like that. I know her.” He stated.

“She’s your ex-girlfriend.”

“Exactly. And I know the type of person she is. Also, why would you even go through my phone and steal pictures of a memory you weren’t even there to begin with?” He asked, now completely serious.

The shorter girl gulped, then scoffed a laugh. “What, your bat shit crazy ex got offended by that? It was just a silly joke, get over it.” She rolled her eyes.

“Don’t call her that. That was a memory of her and I, not you and I, or someone else.” His eyes suddenly started teared up, to which he quickly wiped away in frustration. “Look, whatever you and I have, I don’t want it anymore. I want no contact. If you try to contact me or Y/n, or any of my friends, I swear I’ll sue you, got it?” He pointed his index finger at her.

“Jake, you can’t just say that—” She tried to talk.

“I just did. And I mean it.”

And with that, Jake walked away, leaving a very furious Kim Nari.

Jake didn’t know what suddenly changed, it just clicked. He still didn’t know fully why you and him ended in bad terms, but now, what he wanted to find out was what he did to hurt you, and how to fix it. Because now, Jake was willing to accept what he did, even if he still didn’t know what it was, but he knew he’d do anything to open that window.

mars yap wait do we like written chapters bc in my opinion they give more context and yes… there will be more written chapters like my other fics just letting you guys know🩷🩷
