I’ll always love you even if I'm miles apart,even if you belong to someone else.

Riki thought if he left Korea the pain of not being with his love would go away. His mind was set on the idea,  once he got home from Jungwon’s he started to pack. He knew he was running away but it didn’t bother him much. Getting away , clearing his mind sounded like heaven to him. It was late and all he wanted was to sleep so he left the packing for tomorrow. 

~Next day~ 

Riki didn’t sleep all night. Watching the sun rise from his window made him dread the day without it actually beginning. Riki didn’t try to move. He just laid there staring at the ceiling. He laid on his bed , so much into his own world that he didn't notice Jake coming into his room. 

“ Morning Riki… Riki? “ Jake was confused as to why his friend was staring endlessly at the ceiling. Getting closer Jake noticed that Riki had been crying. Riki’s eyes were puffy and he had dry tears on his cheeks. Once he sat on the bed he noticed that Riki knew he was in the room. Yet Riki had not looked at him once. 

“ Riki, want to tell me what's wrong ?” Jake sofly placed his hand on Riki’s leg. Silence was the only response he got in return. Just as he was going to ask again Riki spoke up “ Jungwon has a girlfriend” that's all Jake needed to hear to understand why his friend was the way he was.

“ oh , I'm sorry sweetheart, “ Jake said, feeling bad for the boy. “ It's okay it's not like you broke my heart” Riki spoke like he was going to start crying which hurt Jake. Jake didn't know how to comfort the boy but he did what he thought helped in sad moments , he laid next to Riki and gave him a hug. Riki was surprised at first but as soon as he eased into the hug he started to cry once again. 

The boys ( Jake and Riki) spent some time cuddling and Jake let Riki cry as long as he needed to and when he was done he was still there hugging him. Riki had fallen asleep a few minutes ago and Jake was on his way to figure out what was going on. Sunghoon agreed to stay behind and look after Riki. 

Jake reached Jungwon’s apartment and knocked but after a few knocks there was no response. Jake kept knocking until he heard noise coming from inside. When Jungwon opened the door he had hoped it would be Riki but his face filled with disappointment and sadness once again when he saw Jake at the door. Jake noticed Jungwon’s face and was confused until he realized Jungwon was hoping to see someone else. Jungwon didn’t even invite him in but he left the door open. As soon as Jake came in and closed the door he asked “ okay what's up with you and Riki? He was crying all last night and said you rejected him?” Jungwon had faced Jake when he heard that Riki was crying all night.

“ I-I didn’t mean for anything to happen, I just pankied and wasn’t thinking straight. Nothing has been the same since i questioned my feelings for Riki, nothing has been the same since i saw Riki kiss someone , nothing- “ Jake interrupted “ Riki kissed someone??” jake was confused because Riki would have told him since they tell each other everything “ yeah i saw him kiss someone on *** ( i didn’t know what date to put lol) and that's when I started to question my feelings for him” jake was now even more confused. 

“What are you talking about? Riki was home all day with me and sunghoon until you gave him a call taking about taking a break” jungwon was now the confused one. “ wait what ? but i saw him kiss someone that day “ jungwon was sure it was Riki that day kissing someone, “ well did you talk to him about it?” That's when Jungwon looked down and said “ … no” that's when Jake realized that he shouldn’t have involved himself in their business. 

“ Knowing Riki and from what i saw this morning he is going to go somewhere to clear his mind and i'm not talking talking about going to the beach or park he will get on an airplane and leave somewhere to clear his mind so you better go to him now if you like him “ Jake was staring into Jungwon’s soul . Just as he was about to leave he remember something “ i can't i have a girlfriend and it hasn't even been that long since i asked her “ jungwon looked upset yet again but jake wasn't going to stop until he made sure he went after Riki. 

“ yeah you have a girlfriend but do you like her more then you like Riki? Is she more special than Riki? “ Jake asked Jungwon and he got his response when Jungwon left the door.
