|JAKEHOON| Unique in All the World

16

Sunghoon tried to dismiss his... misunderstanding with Somi from his head as he entered the main gates the next morning. Although he had a surprisingly good time the day before (other than the numerous times Somi feigned swooning), he still felt his cheeks burn every time he thought about it. 

The boy shook his head and opted to think about something else instead. He forcefully told his brain to think about something else. Anything else, but he instantly regretted it as thoughts of Jake immediately flooded into his mind.

His interactions with Somi may have been embarrassing, but just thinking about Jake made him ache. He didn't know if the pain was from anger or sorrow or jealousy, maybe it was a combination of the three, but it hurt nonetheless. Sunghoon grimaced from the sensation and tried to drag his mind elsewhere.

To his own surprise, he ended up thinking about Taehyun. The smaller boy had been late to their session at Somi's house and he kept blushing whenever Sunghoon talked to him.

What had he said the other day? 

"Could you not tell anyone about this?"

Sunghoon pondered at what Taehyun could've been talking about. He had assumed that it was about purposefully being late so that Somi could be alone with him, but that assumption could not have been farther from the truth. 

So what had Taehyun been talking about? 

"Hey, pretty boy!" 

Sunghoon's thoughts were interrupted when he heard a familiar voice. The voice was clearly teasing him, but he found himself almost breaking a smile as he turned around to see a girl with long wavy brown hair bouncing towards him.

"I just had to say, I couldn't sleep last night just think of you," Somi said when she reached Sunghoon, batting her eyes in an exaggerated manner.

Sunghoon rolled his eyes, "Can you please just drop it? I made a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes. Just let it go."

"No way!" Somi said with a laugh. "This is one mistake you'll hear for the rest of your life, ice prince." 

Sunghoon couldn't stop a chuckle from escaping his mouth when he heard his nickname coming from the playful girl beside him. 

The two made their way into the main building as Somi continued to make fun of a smiling Sunghoon. They were about to go up the stairs when Sunghoon spotted a small head of black hair behind the stairs.

"Taehyun?" Sunghoon called as he walked toward the familiar figure. 

"Sunghoon!" the smaller boy answered as he jumped from his hiding spot behind the stairs. His eyes were wild which made Sunghoon feel a sense of deja vu. "I was just uh... waiting for you guys!"

Sunghoon raised his eyebrows and tilted his head, but Somi jumped in before he could say anything.

"Cool, all of us are here. We're like the Powerpuff Girls!" she said making Sunghoon's head turn into a blank slate.
