My Lifeline - Jaywon Shortstories

Eye on You

Hi everyone!
As I told you a few days ago, I'll be 
a summer camp councellor starting today and for one week and a half
This means it's going to be difficult to write during this time (we have 40 kids to entertain and it's a 24h a day job), but I will try my best to do so anyway whenever I can!
Maybe it'll be shorter chapters, so I hope it'll still be okay
It's almost 2 am, but I really wanted to post this today, so I'll just be tired tomorrow

Anyway enough about me, let's go back to our boys!

"So.. if you like them, you just swipe to the right?" asked Sunghoon.
"Exactly" said Sunoo.
"Alright, this shouldn't be too difficult" replied Sunghoon.

Jay frowned. He had been on his computer for a while when Sunoo and Sunghoon had arrived in the kitchen, phones in hands, talking about what seemed to be a new game.

"Are you guys playing the new bts game?" asked Jay out of curiosity.
"New?" replied Sunoo. "You are aware that it was released like two weeks and a half ago?"
"Already!" said Jay, chocked.

It seemed to him that it had been released yesterday. To be fair, he had such an intense schedule for the past month that time seemed to fly by faster than ever.

Sunghoon laughed.

"Look at the old man trying to guess what we're doing" he said.
"Hey I'm not old" said Jay.
"Really?" challenged Sunghoon. "You thought that Sunoo was explaining a game!"

Jay frowned.
Wasn't it a game?

As he looked confused, Sunoo walked towards him, shoveling his phone in his hand.

"See, it's this new dating app, well, more like a meeting type of things" explained the rose haired boy.
"A dating app?" asked Jay. "But Sunoo, you shouldn't be doing that! If the manager-"
"No, it's not like that" Sunoo instantly cut him.

Jay raised his eyebrows, wondering what on fresh hell these boys were thinking.

"It's just to settle an ongoing battle of who has the most beautiful smile" said Sunghoon.
"What?" asked Jay.
"Yeah, see, Sunghoon and I both have beautiful smiles, but I'm convinced his is slightly more beautiful than mine" explained Sunoo.
"And I don't believe that" said Sunghoon.

Jay took a second to process this.

"So you're telling me you installed a dating app to settle this?" asked Jay.
"Perfectly" replied Sunoo. "Smart huh?"
"Isn't it a little risky to put your faces on a dating app?" continued Jay, still not understanding their logic.
"We didn't. We only posted a pic of our smile. We're not stupid" explained Sunghoon.
"And the one that gets the more likes in a day wins!" added Sunoo.

"Wow" said Jay. "I definitely wasn't expecting that, but if it entertains you, well, who am I to say anything."

Sunoo nodded. He like this version on Jay, casual and everything.

"What if we match with someone, do we get more points?" asked Sunghoon.
"Hum" replied Sunoo, thinking out loud. "Why not!"

He then turned himself towards Jay once more.

"Wanna check the profiles with me?" he asked, with an indeed cute smile.
"Alright" finally replied Jay, after closing his eyes and accepting his fate.

Sunoo sat next to him, and started showing him how it worked. They swiped some profiles to the right, commenting on what people had written in their bios.

"Swipe left, this one likes mint choco" commented Sunghoon.
"Hey!" called Sunoo from his chair. "Mint choco is delicious okay?"

And just like that the SunSun bickering was back on. Meanwhile, Jay found himself mesmerized in the swiping. He kinda liked the system and hated it at the same time, but he kept going.
This went on for a few minutes, enough for the younger boys to forget how the argument had started. Jay wasn't paying attention to them, he still had Sunghoon's phone in hand.

Suddenly, he gasped.

No...
NO!

Jay got up and quickly left the kitchen, without looking back. That ought to do the trick and Sunoo and Sunghoon paused their bickering match.

"What's with him?" asked Sunghoon.
"I don't kn-" started Sunoo, stopping as soon as his eyes landed on Sunghoon's phone on the table.

"Is that?" he asked, pointing at the last profile Jay had seen.
"Oh shit" whispered Sunghoon.

They took a closer look, but they already knew the truth.

It was Jungwon's eyes on the profile picture.
