Alone | Jake Sim x OC

Oh My God

"Hi." Bella smiled sheepishly at the group. The tension was thicker than a knife until someone decided to smash it with a sledgehammer.

"Oh my god, we just did Hey Tayo right? Did she see that? Oh my god let me go die in a hole." Jake dashed out of the practice room form the door as far away from Bella as possible, cheeks flaming and mumbling under his breath. "Oh my god oh my god I'm dead, I'm dying help."

Isabella awkwardly stood at the door, watching Jake run out. Honestly, a small part of her cried out for her to go chase him and tell him that she thought it was adorable, but the more sensible part kept her in place. She probably shouldn't run after him after the few weeks of isolation.

"Izzy!" Sunoo was the first to launch himself at her. A quiet oof left her mouth as the others piled on and knocked her to the floor in a giant huddle of hugs.

"Hey guys..." She wiggled, successfully breaking out of the body mound. "Sorry for staying upstairs for so long." Jay tossed Niki off his back and patted her shoulder.

"That's okay. I'm happy you're back down." Sunghoon burst from near the bottom of the pile, effectively destroying it and leaving bruises on at least three of his member's bodies. He tackled Izzy once again.

"Are you okay now?" Heesung, her saviour once again, tugged the boy off.

"Shush, let her breathe. You're too excited." They plopped back down onto the floor, buzzing with little hums of excitement.

"Hey I'm glad you made it down, Izzy." Jungwon smiled brightly at her and she returned it, nodded subtly.

"I figured I should. Then Niki could make me ramen." Immediately, everyone except Niki shook their heads.

"No, you'll get food poisoning." Sunoo violently blinked at her, silently begging to keep his kitchen free of any fire.

"Ah, okay." Bella glanced at the door Jake ran out of, concern painted visibly on her face. Seems everyone noticed, as Niki slapped the middle of her back.

"We know you're whipped, at least try to tone it down." A chorus of laughter came from his comment and Bella flushed crimson.

"I'm going back upstairs now." Faking hurt she turned around, trying not to get too flustered.

"Noooooo." Niki grabbed hold if her ankle and hung on for dear life, letting her struggle to drag him across the room for a few seconds before she collapsed. "Mwahahahaha."

Isabella pried his hands off her leg-wrist and scooted away, mumbling something to the group.

"Um, do you mind if I go find Jake? I think...I owe him an apology too or something." Jay clapped his hands happily.

"Ah yes of course, please go do that." They all grinned creepily at her as she scooted away and through the door.

"Uh okay, bye? It was nice to see you again." Isabella dashed from the room and around the dorm, searching for Jake in every room she could think of.

The kitchen, the bedrooms, the living spaces, the other practice studios, all came up empty. After a good hour of searching, she crawled back to the rest of Enhypen.

"Hey guys." Bella almost sobbed when they turned their heads. "I can't find Jake anywhereeee, help meeeee." She rolled onto her back and curled into a ball.

"And why would he leave just because I saw him performing Hey Tayo?" Sunoo sighed.

"Isabella, he has the hots for you. And he was embarrassed." The room gradually grew quiet, all eyes on Sunoo.

"Someone's gotta tell them, right? He's probably in the gym, a few doors down and opposite that off-white couch. We know you like him too, so hurry up and kiss already." Niki let out a hesitant noise of agreement. Jungwon started nodding and the rest followed.

"Ahokaybyeagain." Her words blurred together as her cheeks flushed pink. For the second time that day, Isabella found herself speeding out the door but this time with a destination in mind. She slowed down and walked through the corridor, mind racing. What Sunoo said had to be him teasing her, but would everyone else really nod along like that? She wanted to find Jake to see him because he was a friend she had an unreciprocated crush on right? Because it was unreciprocated. Right?!

Before she'd gathered herself, her hand knocked on the door. It happened so quickly she almost missed it- the moment her hand met the hard metal it swung open to reveal a very sweaty, very shirtless Jake. Surprised, Bella could do nothing to escape the clutches of gravity, the inevitable downward fall taking effect. She stared at the roof as she fell backwards, wondering if this embarrassment was what Jake felt earlier today.

Jake grabbed her before she could hit the ground, his bare arm wrapping around her waist and pulling her close to him. In a split second, Bella registered the white towel around his neck, the black workout pants he was wearing and the very defined abs against her shirt.

The first thing she said was 'ew.' Jake looked at her like a wounded puppy, and went to let go. Before he could, Bella wrapped her arms around him and hugged him like her life depended on it.

"Ew, you're sweaty. But I missed you. I'm sorry, I'll never do that again." She felt him return the hug. Quietly, she noticed that even after an hour of exercise, he still smelled like vanilla.

"You missed me?" Bella's head shot up at the low voice, not used to hearing it from Jake. He looked happy, but more like a wolf stalking it's prey as he backed her up against the couch.

"I missed you too. So freaking much." He pinned her against the furniture, their breathing heavy. Isabella glanced anywhere but his eyes, and his midsection.

"O-oh." She gulped, finally meeting his eyes. They held something in them, something warm that she couldn't identify but was probably reflected in her own. At the worst possible moment, Sunoo's words echoed in her mind.

Does he really like me-?

Their faces were growing closer and closer together, Jake's half-naked body pressed against her own. She drew in a sharp breath as she felt his lips ghost against her neck, then immediately brush softly across her cheek. He pulled away, blushing lightly. He glanced back at Bella, letting a smirk spread across his face at the sight of her flustered because of him, her cheeks glowing.

"Yeah. Please don't scare me like that again, look at you! You've lost so much weight, that can't be healthy. Let's go eat something, I'll call Niki and Jungwon." Bella coughed and sat up, awkwardly avoiding his gaze.

"Y-yeah, sounds good." They both looked down at their hands then back at each other, hesitating. Their eyes met and glanced away, Jake nervously clearing his throat and leading the way back down the hallway.

They reached the dance studio yet again, and invited the members to grab breakfast with them as a finally reunited family. Everything was slightly foggy in Isabella's mind as she kept thinking about what just happened, remembering his lips ghosting on her skin and the scent of vanilla surrounding her. How warm he felt, his perfectly symmetrical abs. She unconsciously turned to him to find him already looking at her. He winked, then started chatting to Jay next to him.

Bella could vaguely feel Niki nudging her suggestively but her eyes were trained on Jake's dark hair, her heartbeat speeding to 240 bpm. Niki gave up and grabbed Jungwon, whispering something to him and giggling. Isabella kept her eyes on Jake though, watching him glance back and smile at her. She blinked.

Oh my god.
