The Boy From The Bridge - Jakehoon

Chapter 93: Angels and Demons 8/8

"You were asleep early" Jake said as Jungkook sat down for breakfast. 

"And you're up early" Jungkook replied as a he tiredly begun making himself a cup of tea. The reversal of their usual routine was odd for both of them. "My save got corrupted so I couldn't be bothered to continue gaming yesterday" Jungkook continued, feeling the need to explain himself. 

"That sucks dude" Jake said before returning to searching the internet on his phone. His eyes were keenly examining the screen, so much so that Jungkook was able to catch sight of them despite his slumber. 

"What's got you so excited?" he asked suspiciously. 

"Don't laugh" Jake advised. 

"I'm not in the businesses of making promises I can't keep" Jungkook said with a smirk 

"Ha. Fine. Well, you probably won't believe me but I'm searching for churches" 

Jake's eyes were taken from his phone at the eruption of coughing that came from the man a meter from him. "What?"

"I..."

"You're a teenager, aren't you meant to be more into..." Jungkook coughed once more, "girls..." 

"...I just..."

"... Or in your case guys? Or sports? Or hell school work? Or you know, anything that isn't - well that?"

"I..." Jake tried to speak again.

"If you're failing so much at school you could just try studying harder,  praying isn't going to work" 

Jake slammed his hand on the breakfast counter to stop Jungkook from interrupting him further. "Enough!" He commanded. "It's for Hoon, I want to take him with me." 

"Why?" Jungkook said whilst placing his mug down loudly on the same surface to counteract Jake's earlier slam. Jake saw the mischievous look in his face and knew his elder wasn't done having his fun yet. "You want to concoct some choir boy fantasy don't you? You know, if you'd have told me when we had first met that you had a desire to screw alter boys I'd have being..." Jungkook paused as Jake locked eyes with him, "... well, I wouldn't have being wholly surprised" he muttered with a devious grin before taking the first sip of his tea 

Jake sighed in response and ate a spoonful of cereal. "Bruh" he begun whilst chewing, "I think you're the one who needs Jesus here. If I remember correctly you're the one who spends Sundays hungover rather than at Church"

"Uh, that was a one off -  you'd do well to remember that  I'm a geek, I find my time nerding out with toy soldiers rather that working off the effects of a strong Saturday night" 

"Well, you're free to come and join us if you want" Jake offered.

"Really? This isn't some kind of date for you two?"

"Well - I mean kind of, but I mean, it's just the two of us and..." Jake noticed a shift in the man's demeanour, "what thought has gotten into your head?"

"You're both legal right?" Jungkook asked bluntly. The question could be taken in many ways and all of them would make Jake pull the perturbed expression he was suddenly wearing. "If I go to church with you two, then I get to take you both out for a night out deal?" 

It was Jake's turn to splutter and cough, "I... I'm not sure, I would have to ask Hoon, and he's generally pretty vanilla."

Sunghoon breathed a heavy sigh as he felt his heartbeat begin to slow itself from its earlier exertions. Now in the moment of clarity that followed that type of morning activity he found himself questioning himself.
