chapter eighteen.
"AND HERE'S YOUR CHANGE. THANK YOU!" SUNGHOON SAID TO THE GROUP OF GIRLS, who were all in the grade below Sunghoon, as they thanked him graciously while giggling shyly. Sunghoon watched them with interest as they walked away with cupcakes in their hands, chowing down on the sweet treats. He couldn't fathom the reason why they were acting like that.
"Dude, I think they like you." Jake, who was behind him organising some of the cupcake boxes, shuffled up to nudge him in the side, wagging his eyebrows at the latter. Sunghoon scoffed, blowing raspberries with his mouth as he smoothed out his clothes, fiddling with the cash machine.
Jake and Sunghoon were currently occupying themselves with the cupcake stand, managing the stand while serving customers. It was quite a difficult job, as so many dropped by the cupcake store and went again. Their stall seemed to be one of the busiest stalls, and Sunghoon wanted a break more than anything in the world.
Oh, and you were probably wondering what Hana and Yuna were off to? Well, the two girls left for a bathroom break not too long ago. And by not too long ago, we're speaking half an hour ago, leaving the two sweaty and tired boys to manage the stall.
"Funniest joke of the century right there, Jake," Sunghoon commented dryly, rolling his eyes with a smirk on his face. Jake merely shrugged, a broad grin on his face, and at that moment, Sunghoon knew he was going to bark back.
"I mean, who wouldn't fall for you? With such a handsome face, I don't think anyone can resist." Jake whispered lowly, squeezing Sunghoon's shoulder as he went to walk behind him. He let go of Sunghoon's shoulder and let his hand trail towards his back, dropping when Jake left his side. Sunghoon found himself go rigid as he stood up as straight as a wooden plank. His mind couldn't process what just happened, the whole action happening as fast as a blink of an eye. Jake knew exactly what he was doing and was doing everything the right way; Sunghoon wasn't sure of Jake's motives, but the fact that Jake remained completely unreadable scared him.
These ginger touches and gentle sayings; what exactly is Jake trying to do? Everything was so subtle and sparse; a regular onlooker wouldn't be able to realise the apparent moments of affection between the two. Yet, Sunghoon found it all too much. He discovered his temperature would rise just from Jake's smooth touch, finding his mind goes blank whenever he spoke to him. Maybe it was because Jake was acting so friendly towards him, yet Sunghoon treated him so badly? He couldn't understand why Jake was being so nice to him. And yet, Jake was the one who presumably had a thing going on with Hana, Sunghoon's actual crush. And that made his blood boil.
"Hey, guys! We're back! Sorry for taking so long; we went to the bathroom but bumped into a few friends!" Hana's vibrant voice filled their ears as she arrived back at the stall, throwing off a pink apron that showed no real purpose other than aesthetic purposes for the stall.
