Days passed but there hasn't been a day when Jake didn't remembered Sunghoon. He used to get the thoughts out forcefully but he was just trying his best.
Here Sunghoon was a mess. He grew colder. The company wasn't in a very good condition, the marketing strategies kept leaking even after Jaeyun was gone. Everyone had realised that it wasn't him who leaked the informations, but now, the company was slowly going down.
"THAT LEE'S ARE REALLY SOMETHING! THEY HAVE STARTED USING OUR STRATERIES AND NOW THEIR PRODUCTS ARE REPLACING OURS IN THE MARKET!" Sunghoon yelled in frustration as he sat back on his seat.
"Calm down sir, I think it's someone from the marketing department." Heeseung said as he tried to calm his CEO down.
"Please do me a favour, please handle the marketing department too. I trust you, Heeseung. You've been working here for years." Sunghoon said as he could see the end of the company in front of his eyes.
Over here, Jake really needed to sort his feelings up. After work, instead of going straight home, he knowingly or unknowingly reached a bar. He knowingly or unknowingly finished a whole bottle of alcohol. Now he knowingly or unknowingly was roaming around the bar, smiling and bowing at random people.
"Jake?!" Jake turned back as he saw the person he hated the most, the person he loved the most.
Yes, there was Sunghoon standing wearing white shirt with rolled sleeves, the topmost button open, with worry evident in his eyes. He knew that Jake never liked to drink. What was he doing there?
Jaeyun smiled as he pointed his fingers towards the younger's nose and went, "bOoP." The older chuckled remembering the memories of teenage. But Sunghoon, he had tears in his eyes. Jake remembered everything. He must have been so hurt.
"Boop!" Sunghoon booped Jake's nose again as the older finally got irritated.
"Hoonie stop it, I'm trying to solve this problem here!" Jake said as he again concentrated on his math sum.
"No! All you do is study, you know you need to have some time for yourself." Sunghoon said as he took a seat near Jake, lowkey pouting.
"Hoonie, you know my family isn't wealthy like yours, right? I really want to look like I deserve you." Jake said shifting his gaze from books to Sunghoon, as their eyes met.
"Hey, you don't have to prove anyone. You are perfect for me, I find myself lucky that I found a boyfriend like you." Sunghoon said as he smiled at the older.
Jaeyun smiled as he leaned closer to the younger boy, taking the hint, Sunghoon closed his eyes.
"Boop!" Jake booped his nose as he laughed and ran.
"wHy You DiD ThIS tO Me HOonIE?" Sunghoon looked at his left, driving his car. Jake looking at him with half open eyes, with tears.
"I'm sorry. I had no option."
"wHY diDn't YoU trUsT mE eNOugh?" Jake asked, still drunk.
"I'll tell you once we reach home."
Sunghoon stopped the car in front of a small house. He looked to his side, looking at the shorter male who was now asleep, soft snores audible which made him look cuter.
Jake woke up as he felt his head throbbing with slight pain. The very first thought he had was no never drink this much again. As his eyes adjusted with the light, he found himself in a familiar place, but that wasn't his home.
"Isn't this-"
"Yes, it's my home. It didn't change a bit, right?" He noticed Sunghoon entering the room.
"Yes it didn't....but someone else changed, a lot." Jaeyun said as he smiled to himself, shook his head and stood up.
"Sorry to bother you Mr. Park. You should've just left me on streets, you didn't need to bring me here and cause me more pain." He bowed as he tried to go towards the exit door, but the taller held his hand.
"Jake, I'm sorry."
"Sorry? For what?"
"For leaving you like this. I lost you once, I don't want to lose you again. Can you just.....not go?" Sunghoon said as his voice cracked.
Jaeyun turned to the younger as he smiled at him, wiped his tears, and finally said, "It's okay Sunghoon. I don't want to make it any harder for you, I'm letting you go. I know you will have to follow what your mom says and it was my fault to actually get close to you in the past years, when I clearly knew we won't work out."
"Jake don't go please, you are the only one I have after my parents died! That witch adopted me just to take care of her business!"
Jaeyun smiled as he patted Sunghoon's shoulder and made his way out of the house, but something that sunghoon said made him halt his steps involuntarily.
"Jake, why don't you get it I STILL LOVE YOU!"
The older male just sighed as he kept on going without turning back, his heart clenched at every step he took.
I'm sorry Hoonie, but for both of us, I need to do this. Forgive me for being the one to leave you first. I'll always love you. ----------------------------------------------------------
"We recieved another good idea to market this product! Damn, Park's company actually has good strategies." Jake heard his co-worker chatting with another.
He decided he'll leave this company. He loved Sunghoon, and he won't be a part of the reason of his downfall. He stood up as he made way to the CEO's office.
Before knocking, he could hear some voices from inside of the cabin. Seemed like some important conversation was going on.
"This is the last time I'm helping you, leave me alone then."
"Yes kid, thankyou for helping me, we will make it big."
"This is the last strategy of theirs, then I'll leave their office."
"You will have to help us, you know that right?"
Jake knew it was about the strategy leaking from Sunghoon's company, as much he wanted to stay away from the younger, he was curious and mad at the person, whoever was leaking the confidential processes.
He took a long breath as he opened the door, and saw the person whom he expected the least to show up, or atleast he hoped to.
