best friend's love | jakehoon ✗

01: best friend

the day jake met sunghoon, he never would have imagined he'd be his other half. without sunghoon, jake would've never known what he is. what he wants to be. it feels like sunghoon made that possible, made it easier. i mean sure, jake could've done it himself. but, without sunghoon's help, would he have been able to complete? see it through? 

the weather today is snowing, making the two wear warm clothing. sunghoon waited for his best friend as he walked out his house, running towards sunghoon with a shoe on and the other having difficulty to put on. sunghoon watched in amuse, sometimes he wonders how jake lives his life as he is now. not at that he means it in a bad way. he's just a little different than his closes friend and probably his only friend. 

sunghoon was popular, students loved him and hated him for his looks. but, he never understood why they do it. he doesn't understand what they see in him. sure, he looks cold and selfish, but that's just a thought. it's not actually true, it's actually the complete opposite to what sunghoon is really like. he's a little introverted, sure...but that's it. he's not selfish or mean. he's thoughtful and kind. if only they knew him, truly. 

"sunghoon!" jake shouts out, as he walks closer to his friend, meeting his gaze. 

sunghoon smiles at jake. "good morning, jake," he says, eyes closed as he says it, smiling softly. a light blush in his cheeks. 

jake quietly makes a 'o' sound when he notices how stunning his best friend is. he looks away, flustered. "c'mon, let's go." jake quietly mumbles, beginning to walk away. sunghoon's eyes open at light, he looks around, noticing jake no longer is beside him but instead ahead of him. 

"alright.." sunghoon quickly jogs to jake's side. 

silence fills the air. jake can't help but feel the whole atmosphere drop, feeling ticked off about it. still, he hides his flustered face on his scarf. his face is a shade of pink all over, only his facial expression screams 'i-want-to-kill-someone-right-now'. feeling irritated by how easily he gets flustered. he's itching to say anything and break the ice but his thoughts just run wide from last night. 

right...last night...

last night, when he realized he's gotten feelings for his best friend. 

.⋆｡☂˚｡☽｡⋆.

you see, yesterday jake had been getting all these weird feelings around sunghoon. first it was in the subway, where it was cramped and crowded that sunghoon got pushed and was left to cage jake. arms caging him on the wall. 

jake was awfully confused, but also flustered. "sorry." sunghoon whispered close to jake's ear. jake's heart pounded louder and faster. he wanted to hide, but how could he? the subway was full of people. 

"jake...are you okay??" sunghoon asked quietly, concern. his eyes filled with worry. 

"y...yeah..." jake slowly answers. 

the next moment he had with sunghoon was in school. it was lunch break and he had planned to eat lunch with sunghoon in the classroom. he really didn't think much about it, just two best friends eating lunch, nothing else, right? well, it all went down. 

sunghoon was quietly reading a manga when jake suddenly had the thought. what would it be like if our lips touched? the sudden thought caused him to choke on his banana milk. 

"are you okay, jake??" sunghoon had asked once again. 

jake's cheeks flushed with much color. "y-yeah, don't worry about it!" jake stammered on his words, voice highly picked up. he was nervous.

"okay, then..." sunghoon went back to reading his manga. 

jake's whole body relaxed then. but, his soul left him, that was for sure. 

what is wrong with me?? jake whined behind his face. 

gosh, why is my heart beating so fast? 

and that was how he got home with thoughts filled with his best friend. you could say it kept him late all night. 

.⋆｡☂˚｡☽｡⋆.

yawns. 

"did you get any sleep, last night?" sunghoon asks as they walk inside the school. 

jake frowns. "no. not really," he replies disappointingly. couldn't get a blink of sleep because of you mr. popular!! jake thinks to himself, not daring to actually admit it to him. 

"oh...well, i hope tonight you get as much sleep than you did last night." sunghoon commented, calmly. 

jake flinches then he stays frozen then he explodes of emotions. h-how can he s-say that... so calmly?!?!

jake is walking so effortlessly besides sunghoon in the outside, but, in the inside...his whole body is exploding of emotions. 

"so, wanna go grab a bite at a cafe afterschool?"
