HIM IN MY BED [Jakehoon Or Is It....?]

CHAPTER 11

"These late night rendezvous r becoming our thing huh?" He whispers into the cold night air. Even tho the darkness his dark brown orbs stabs into my soul.

"Well this is the most I've left my house the whole year." He chuckles as his breath evaporates into the late night air, his beaming smile coming n fading as we step under the scattered street lights. His hands swing by the side of his jeans n brush the hem of my jacket - I tense n retract my hand into my pocket - the lingering tingling of his touch still present from last night.

The lake glistens as we near, our shoes embedding in the freshly dewed grass as we make our way towards the bench. The small sides of the bench forces us to squeeze tightly, our legs touching as we sit down. A comfy silence overtakes us as the melody of the insects of the night drowns us in beauty.

Sunghoon tenses beside me, drawing my attention as his breath hitches in his throat; before slowly exhaling - making his lips vibrate cutely......i- I mean....not cutely....

"I finally did it." He whispers out, his eyes drawn out into the starry sky - avoiding my gaze.

"Did what?"

"I broke up with her." A sadness floats in his tone as a new silence falls - an uncomfy one n clouded in thought. His voice hitches again n the similar tenseness clenches his body.

"How u feeling? Like....how r u rlly feeling?" His eyes divert to me - a familiar sadness. I hate that I have to see this side of him - I would never let him get to a place where he retreats to a dark park in the night to ponder - I'd protect him.

"Idk dude....I don't like want to talk bout it....I just want to forget bout it....bout her..."

"That's fine. We can just sit n look at the boring water while I get frostbite from the freezing air. I love that. It's not like I'd rather be sleeping or whatever." He giggles in response. Finally - smtg more then a sigh.

"Well I wouldn't want u to get frostbite." He says as he puts his arm around me n squeezes me closer - sending my heart into a familiar fluttering motion. Warmth emits from his torso as my head slides onto his shoulder, resting as the times drift by. This is nice.

An uncomfortableness in my neck n a slight drowsiness force me out of the embrace, awakening both of us as we realize the time. A series of blushing n small talk initiates our walk home

He replaces his arm around my shoulder as we crunch through the leaves on the footpath on the way home.

"I'm so excited for tonight, I'm actually pumped."

"Wait. What's happening tonight?" I ponder back at him, a cute smirk on his face. No not a cute smirk. An uncute smirk. Yeah.

"The party at ur house duh. Speaking of ur house...." We enter the entrance of my house n up towards the front door. I wish someone had told me that we were having a party tonight....at my house... "R u gonna actually come down this time? Or....r u gonna hide in ur room the whole night lol?" He Snickers - dumby.

"Idk. Ig it'll be a surprise." I reply. He pulls back his arm n I turn around to face him - back against the large, wooden front door; eyes facing his.

"Welp. I hope I see u tonight. Imma go home. Catch some z's. Then I'll be back. Ready to party." He chuckles n starts turning to leave. Pausing before walking towards me. "Tnx for the night....well another night." He whispers into my ear. I feel his lips kiss my cheek as he grins n walks backwards, turning around n disappearing into the night.

I place my hand on my cheek, clasping the warmth in my palm. Did he just kiss my cheek? I'm sure it was like a bro kiss. A friendly thank gesture of goodbye.

I open the door n, instead of slumping into the couch, let the butterflies in my stomach float me up the staircase. I wrap myself in my blanket n finally catch up on the sleep I've been deprived of from my nightly escapades.

*************

I wake up, the sun streaming through the blinds - a summer's warmth flooding into my room. I stretch n push the duvet off of my legs. Today is Gon be a good day. N tonight is Gon be an even better night.

"GOOD MORNING MY BEAUTIFUL OLDER BROTHER!!" I scream at Jay as I try open his bedroom door, revealing a slumbering Jay - drool rolling onto his pillow. His eyes peel open n he's met with my bright, grinning smile. "WAKE UP WE HAVE TO SET UP OUR PARTYYYY!" Once again, he groans at my screaming n pulls the blanket over his head.

"I thought u didn't like parties." He grumbles from underneath this blanket.

"Idk what ur on about. I love parties. So hurry up n let's get going loser...." I poke his shoulder repetitively, receiving a glare in return. He pushes me off with his thigh n laughs as I plummet towards the floor. Dick.

The day races into night as we set up for the party. Our pristine house transform losing its innocence - hopefully it's not the only thing losing its innocence.

I dash up to my room as the sky turns dark, the sound of teens n music already blaring from the downstairs. I rummage through my wardrobe n pull my outfit, laying my shirt n pants on my bed in preparation.

A knock at my door draws me away from my clothes selection process. Sunghoon's familiar faces pokes into the room - the scent of alcohol following him.

"Hey. U r coming to the party right?" He mumbles, slurring his words.

"Yea. Just Gon shower first. I'll be down soon."

"Ughhhh but that takes so longgggggg. I can't wait that long. I need uuuuu." He whines, taking another sip from his cup. My breath hitches, but I compose myself n make my way towards the en suite.

"I'll be there soon." I close the en suite door behind me, n hear him moan some more before making his way out the door n back down to the party. I rush to shower up.

My eyes run up n down in the mirror before I open my door n walk into the mess of our house. Scents run through my nostrils as music plasters through my ears. I scan the lounge n spot my older brother, a ping pong ball in his hand.

He flashes me a smile as I near closer, pulling me into a hug as he points out to everyone to see - embarrassing.

"Have u seen um...."

"WHAT I CANT HEAR U JAKE. SPEAK UP." He screams back.

"HAVE U SEEN SUNGHOON?" He looks at me weirdly before the alcohol takes his attention away.

"YEA HE'S IN THE KITCHEN. OH GOTTA GO, ITS MY SHOTTTT." He screams n grabs the ping pong ball, directing his attention away. I pay him on back n make my way towards the kitchen, scanning my eyes through the crowd.

I spot Sunghoon n start walking towards him before a hand wraps around his neck - halting me in my step. Wonyoung places both arms around him as he hoists her up onto the counter n smashes his lips against her - simultaeniously smashing my heart.

My breath stops n the explosive party slows down into milliseconds - time freezing over as my mind drowns in emotion. His eyes open as his pupils slowly move towards me - before making eyes contact I swivel n push through the crowd.

Fuck this shit, I'm outta here.
