Can I Be Him?

Third Person's POV

Jake. Slowly is doing his best to move on from Heeseung's doings. A month has already passed and the two is now closer than ever.

Sunghoon is slowly making his way into Jake's heart. And he don't realize it.

Jake knew that Sunghoon is treating him way different from the others. But the man is too innocent to realize Sunghoon's real feelings.

Sunghoon is a good guy. A very good one. And Jake knew that Sunghoon deserves to be happy.

"Hey. Spacing out? What's wrong?"

Jake was woken up from his day dreaming.

"Hey. Took you so long? Where's Jay?"

Jake asked Sunghoon as he sat in front of him. They're supposed to have their lunch today but they haven't yet since Jay told them to wait for him. And he still hasn't arrived.

Instead three younger ones are with Sunghoon. Jake looked at him. Curious.

"Oh right. These are my friends from the younger level. That's Sunoo, Ni-Ki and Jungwon."

Sunghoon said pointing out on the younger ones.

"Oh. Hi. I'm Jake."

"We know"

Answered cheerfully by Sunoo.

"Let me just check him again okay? We'll never know where's Jay going AGAIN."

Sunghoon said pissed off. He stood up and went back to their room to check Jay again.

Jake looked at the three only to find them looking at him.

"You're really beautiful up close huh? I'm prettier though."

Jake glanced at Sunoo.

"Yeah. You're prettier."

"Oh here they go again. You know what hyung? They're always like that."

Scoffs Jungwon. Jake just smiled at them.

"But you know what hyung. You're really good looking. For reaaaaaaaaal."

Jungwon said extending his words. Jake again smiled as he answered.

"Thank you haha."

The younger ones smiled back but Ni-ki turned serious, Sunoo eyeing him.

"Hyung.... You know—"

"So hyung what are your hobbies?"

The man was stopped by Sunoo. Well Jake knew something was up so he reassured him.

"No it's okay. I know that Ni-Ki wants so ask me something."

Ni-Ki smirked to his hyung as he continued talking.

"Hyung are you single?"

Jake was taken a back. It's been months since someone has asked him that question. A familiar feeling of pain rushed into him.

Jungwon seemed to notice his change of mood as he elbowed Sunoo. Who elbowed Ni-Ki beside him.

"Yes I am."

Jake softly answered. Still recovering from the sudden question.

Ni-Ki cleared his throat as Sunoo glared at him. But the younger continued talking.

"Hyung. Do you think it's possible for us to fall in love to our very own friend?"

Jake glanced at him. And he thinks. Heeseung and him started as friends. He was about to smile by the thought but he remembered what Heeseung did. He erased his thoughts and answered honestly.

"Can you stop yourself if it's your own feelings? I think it's not really difficult to fall in love with your friend. Especially if that person and you clicks so much. You know, when you feel like that person understands you the most and you always rely to them more than anybody else, you know they're special to you."

Jake said. He didn't know how. But the words just naturally fell to his lips. Is it because of his experience to Heeseung?

No. The man knew. He loved Heeseung with all that he had. But somebody else was on his mind when he spoke those words.

"What about Sunghoon hyung?"

Sunoo choked on his drink. Surprised by Jungwon's sudden question.

"Sunghoon? What about him?"

Jake asked. Also surprised but he kept calm. All of a sudden, he felt his heart raise.

"Do you think it's possible for you to fall in love with Sunghoon hyung?"

Jungwon spoke. Staring at Jake seriously.

"Huh?"

Sunoo, who seems to be enjoying the situation now too, asked him again.

"Do you think it's possible for you to fall in love with Sunghoon hyung?"

"Do you think you can give Sunghoon hyung a chance IF EVER he loves you?"

Ni-Ki asked just after Sunoo.

Jake looked at the younger ones beside him as he starts to think. Again, his heart can't calm down.

"Because if it's me, I think I can always fall in love with Sunghoon hyung, or even you. Because who wouldn't love you right?"

Jungwon said when Jake hasn't answered yet.

Jake took a deep breath. All of a sudden, thoughts came running through his mind. He gulped before looking at the three, only to see expectant faces. He spoke.

"I think

It won't be that hard to fall in love with Sunghoon."
