Daesun woke up from the sun light greeting her, little by little the familiar scent of bath shampoo filled the room as she heard the bathroom door close. She peeked out of her blanket, seeing jake only in his trousers while choosing his polo from the closet. "Jake, the room is filled with your shampoo" She complained, not because she didn't liked the smell but because it drives her crazy whenever he contaminates the whole house with it. It'll take hours for them to remove it.
Jake glanced at her once he heard his name, "Good morning" He waved, showing a smirk before wearing his polo in front of her. The female furrowed her eyes in disgust, throwing a pillow to him. "Gross!" She hissed.
Jake dodged the pillow using his feet in success, he put his tongue out to provoke her more. "I was just kidding! Could you help me with my tie?" He changed the topic after seeing her morning death glare, now no one likes to see someone with those glares. Sitting on the edge of the bed, daesun wrapped the clothing to his neck, a little too tight, making him wheeze. As she showed a smirk like he gave her earlier.
Jokes a side, she neatly created the tie and helped him wear his coat. "You'll drive to work alone, right?" Jake questions, receiving a small hum from her. It was a weekend, as daesun's company gives half days to themselves. That's why she wasn't up early. After a few moments, he finished fixing himself for work. Although, instead of bidding a goodbye and grabbing his things, he sat on the bed again, which made daesun confused.
"Yah. You'll get late" She reminded him. But he kept staring at her eyes, trying to tell her something that's unclear. The room fell in silence made by the two and confusion, created by daesun. She didn't quite know where was this going to end up to.
"... When are we going to tell the public about our relationship?" He questioned out of the blue. Again, the amount of confusion she's getting from him. It's literally morning and her brain would not normally function like it's used to.
"Is everything alright, jake?" She asked back, ignoring his answered question. The boy avoided her eyes, jackpot, there's something bothering his mind.
"I just... think it's best if we tell the public before some else does. People will think of it differently" He explains. The topic about their 'relationship' was a very sensitive to talk about. None of them would dare bring it up, unless there's a bothersome.
Daesun rubbed her temples and sighed. "I didn't mean to make you stress this early, daesun. But it's been years, what if someone finds out we aren't in a real relationship? The amount of scandals they'll make up" Jake said, bringing her to his lap and comforted her even if it will make his uniform wrinkle.
The lady stared at his side view profile, remembering his confession 8 years ago. He likes her till now. His feelings stayed genuine for her and as for her, she tried to pull them to him but she sees him as a friend, only that. Which hurts her so bad.
"Daesun?" Jake called her, noticing her so quiet. She twitched her head a bit, being a bit startled. "Did you hear me?" Early morning discussion plus confusion overload to their fake drama relationship is equals to zoned out thoughts. Of course she wouldn't have heard.
In an instant, she shook her head no, fixing her eyes to him. Jake sighed at her response, "I was thinking about telling them and break up..." He said in an awful, upsetting tone. Daesun changed her confused facial expression to a shock one. She was more stunned to it than an earthquake.
"S-so suddenly? Jake i swear-"
"We can't be like this forever. Besides, you might be having someone inside your mind" Jake chuckled, patting her head and played with her soft hair. Her eyes soon filled tears and escaped out of their barrier. Immediately, jake wiped it with his thumbs.
"W-what about you?" She asked, she just had to. He stayed quiet as if he was searching words on his brain. Humming while thinking, jake looked up the ceiling before placing it on her.
"My feelings won't stay permanent. Don't worry about that" He flashed a toothy grin, massaging her shoulders like she always wants to whenever she's stressed. But nothing, absolutely nothing, could erase that to her mind. Why was she the one crying when she had no romantic feelings to him? Why was he the one trying to comfort her when he had the feelings written all over his face. He's the whipped one, he's the one who loves her, but why was he the one trying to cheer her up?
Sim Jaeyun i hate you for making me pity. Why are you doing this to me? What kind of angelic soul did god gave you?
Daesun tears stopped, hinting jake she had calmed down. But she sat on the bed like she was paralyzed. Jake smiled, "Well, I'm late for work. Food is in the heater. Get a good lunch before going to work, okay?" he patted her head once last time.
"Oh, let's have dinner together to let the public know about us. I'll do the talking for you, don't worry" He halted and planned what he had in mind. Little by little he took steps to the door as he shut it closed. The moment daesun made sure he drove away. She let the remaining pity tears she had.
"I hate myself for this" She cursed, biting her lip to stop her from sobbing. She did escaped problems from the past, but that didn't stop there as it was an improvised solution. Now she suffers in the present and maybe will in the future.
