"You're what?!" Jaehyuk screeched, eyes wide as he grabbed onto his younger brother's arm tightly. Beginning to shake the younger, he let our little squeals that Jake couldn't help but laugh at. "He asked me this weekend but shh! He's upstairs and might hear you," Jake blushed, using his hand to point up the stairs with his other hand making as if there was a zipper to zip his lips.

"I'm happy for you Jakey, you're growing up. Growing up faster than I am," Jaehyuk wiped away his fake tears making Jake roll his eyes with a laugh. "Yeah, yeah. It's fine hyung, you're in medical school. It's no wonder you're too busy to date." Jake stated matter of factly. The older thought before smirking with a wink. "Doesn't mean I'm not talking to anyone," Jake's eyes widened, putting a hand on Jaehyuk's arm with his mouth open.

"What?!" The older laughed and turned Jake around to face the stairs, ushering him up the first step before slapping him on his back. "Go, we can talk later. Don't make Sunghoon wait on you like that." Still, in a little dazed from the sudden statement, the younger made his way up the stairs and towards his room. Not snapping out of this trance until he heard Sunghoon talking.

"You look really adorable! Did you change?" Sunghoon asked, chuckling right after. No answer though, Jake hummed with furrowed eyebrows. Who was he talking to? "Mhm... Come here, I want cuddles," Sunghoon added shortly after. Jake panicked and cracked the door open slightly, trying his best to stay quiet. But when he looked into the room, there was no one else beside Sunghoon. The younger was staring at the wall with a smile on his face, a little blush on his cheeks, and his arms were wide open.

"Hoon?" Jake asked meekly, popping his head through the crack. Sunghoon jolted from surprise with his head snapping to face the door, his mouth wide. "Jake?" Sunghoon turned back to the wall, eyes widening. "Jaeyun..." He whispered, slowly looking down at his lap. "Did you imagine Jaeyun?" Jake slowly walked into the room before sitting on his bed right beside Sunghoon.

"Why do I keep seeing him? Why do I keep imagining him when you're right here next to me?" Sunghoon questioned, the frustration on his face made Jake frown. The older opened his arms, eyes glued to Sunghoon's. "Come here, it's okay Hoon." Sunghoon fell into his hug with his arms wrapping around Jake's figure, nuzzling his face into Jake's neck. "Why are you crying, hm?" Jake asked softly, rubbing little circles onto his upper back. The younger male sobbed into the crook of his neck before sniffling. "I just hate it so much, it plays with my feelings whenever I see Jaeyun. It brings back all these memories of when I imagined him, all of the bad ones."

Jaeyun couldn't completely understand what Sunghoon was going through but he nodded nonetheless, looking into his puffy, red eyes. Those dark brown eyes were beautiful even in the lighting of his room but it didn't compare to looking into his eyes when they were outside in the sun. Jake smiled and tightened the hug just a little bit, feeling a few of Sunghoon's tears fall onto his jacket.

"It's going to be alright Hoon, just calm down okay? I'm here right now, right here." Jake wasn't completely sure on how to comfort Sunghoon when he himself didn't know what he had gone through. But he thought maybe if he comforted the younger that he was always there with him would give him some type of comfort. "It's a shame you keep seeing Jaeyun like this, it must be weird talking to him thinking it's me hm?" Jake stated his current thoughts, feeling a little nod from Sunghoon. He wanted some type of answers from the younger, though he would hate to push him to answer something he wasn't really comfortable with.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be crying like this." Sunghoon moved away to wipe his tears with an arm still wrapped around Jake. The older pouted as well and went to use his own two little hands to wipe Sunghoon's tears, his hands rested nicely on his cheeks. "It's okay Hoon, it's okay to cry. But it's going to be alright? I'm not sure why you keep seeing Jaeyun but I'm sure it will all work out," Sunghoon sniffled, nodding slowly. It felt amazing to hold Jake like this knowing that the older was actually right there with him, it made him feel much better.

"What's been going on?" Sunghoon moved to sit more comfortably next to Jake, their arms still intertwined together though they were hugging anymore. After taking a deep breath, Sunghoon rested his head against Jake's shoulder. "Well, I've been seeing Jaeyun much more after we became a couple. Sometimes my imagination gets ridiculous and I see him pop up into my room with no warnings. What's worse is that I always fall for it and think that it's actually you..." Jake hummed softly, playing with Sunghoon's hand with his two hands.

"It's so frustrating..." Sunghoon whispered as his eyes closed. Jake rested his head on the younger's and take a deep breath before wrapping his hand around Sunghoon's. "It will be okay..." Jake whispered back, turning to take a short glance at the latter who was clenching his eyes closed with his top teeth biting at his lower lip. "Hoon..." Jake began. The older turned to wrap his arms around Sunghoon's neck, patting the spot right behind his neck.

"Look at me, I'm here please don't cry" Jake put his forehead against Sunghoon's, their eyes staring into each other's. "Kiss...?" Sunghoon asked almost silently, still biting on his bottom lip nervously. "Of course," It was a longer more loving kiss than the rest of the ones they already had, it didn't fail to make Sunghoon feel even more comfortable. "I'm sorry again..." The younger mumbled after backing away.

"I already told you it's fine, Hoon. Now, I'll give you all that kisses you want~"
