Jake's POV
I let out a nervous breath before opening Jungwon's apartment door. I came face to face with a smiley and well dressed Sunghoon, his smile faded as soon as he saw me, instead he frowned at me.
"Didn't know you were here," He said, walking into the house as if it wasn't the first time he came over. Sunghoon and Jungwon group studied a subject for exams, they've become close ever since. They spent time with each other sometimes, Jungwon forced me to join them a many times, but I refused.
"Same," I said, shortly after standing beside the couch awkwardly.
Jungwon came into the living room with an excited grin, "you made it! Sorry, I forgot to mention that Jake will be joining us."
What game was this idiot playing, he didn't even tell him I'd be here. Sunghoon just shrugged in response and asked, "where are Sunoo and Ni-Ki, you told me they'll be here."
I raised an eyebrow at Wonnie, as far as I remembered, neither Sunoo nor Ni-Ki were joining us. They both went on a date to the amusement park, an hour ago.
"Oh that, they ditched us. They promised me they'll come but well, you know them! " He said shaking his head in distaste, making Sunghoon frown in suspicion.
Jungwon you pretentious cunning little duckling!
Sunghoon looked extremely clueless as he chatted with Jungwon about something while I looked at him without knowing why I was staring at him. He wore a blue checked shirt, I never saw him in casual clothes, he had always worn whites and blacks, not that I kept track of his fashion sense or anything, but I just know, let's just say I had a good memory. After looking at him, I felt like I should have dressed up better. I didn't know why, but I had often felt insecure around him, Sunghoon constantly managed to stand out wherever he went, in whatever he did, social skills or physical looks he perpetually shined. As if he were superior to others, he had this unknown aura and scent, though I couldn't explain it, I could feel it whenever he was near. It was something, he was something.
"So what shall we do?"
Sunghoon's voice broke my train of thoughts, I looked up as he briefly glanced at me and I immediately looked away to avoid eye contact. I know, I know, I'm a wimp.
Jungwon jumped in, "Jake ordered pizza for lunch. And I ordered desserts. So I'm thinking, why not watch a movie or two, just eat and relax. What say?"
"Sounds good!" He said, and they both looked at me for a response. I shrugged, "whatever you guys want!" Jungwon clapped his hands together excitedly, "let me pick a good movie."
While Jungwon stood in a corner scrolling through the list of movies to watch on his phone, Sunghoon made his way over to the couch and sat beside me, I visibly tensed and I hated myself for it. The couch was small, it was for only two people and Jungwon's apartment was mostly empty, he didn't have enough furniture.
