✓ READY TO LOVE | JAKE

28 - Love, Jake

"Is everything ready?" Jake asked as he stepped into his office, looking around for Heeseung. The day of the exhibition arrived and everyone was preparing to go to the place where they would hold it.

"Yes. The workers are heading over there, and everything is in place already." Heeseung said, looking from his cardboard. "What about Soo Yun?"

"She's already there, she's been so excited." He smiled and Heeseung just chuckled, shaking his head. "We need to go too."

"I know for a fact you're only thinking about her." Heeseung teased, raising an eyebrow. "Or you're perhaps nervous?"

"Trust me, I am. I'm afraid that something would go wrong and everything would end up ruined."

"You don't have to worry about anything, man. You've been preparing stuff for the last two weeks. What would possibly go wrong?" 

"I don't know." Jake sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "But I can't wait for it all to happen, you know."

"I know." Laughing, Heeseung pushed him towards the door. "Now, let's go."

The whole ride to the exhibition was basically just Heeseung doing karaoke to 'Until I Found You' and Jake trying to calm down because he was so nervous. Today could be the most important day of his life, and it's not even about the exhibition.

"Can you shut up?" He spat and Heeseung just laughed.

"I'm helping you practice." He rolled his eyes and continued singing, adding Jake's name to the song. "Jake will never fall in love again until he finds her, he said he would never fall unless it's her he falls into..."

While he sang, Jake was alone in his world. He thought about Soo Yun, about today, and about the future. But again, he's been thinking about it all for a long time.

And upon arriving at their exhibition place, he got out of his car and took a deep breath before he walked inside. Probably no one other than his employees knew that he was the CEO of Aurora & Co because Jake never liked fame and attention. He only wanted Aurora & Co to be known for its jewelry, which is exactly what happened.

Many people, who were there for the exhibition, passed by him without even realizing that he was the one behind it all.

"I want to see their reaction when you step to give your speech later," Heeseung laughed.

"Well, I'm happy they're here for what we make, not us." He shrugged, walking inside the place as the two of them stared at the jewelry displayed behind the glass. Jake's eyes sparkled, feeling that all their hard work was indeed worth it.

"Look at all these people." Heeseung muttered as he walked next to Jake who was only thinking about finding Soo Yun. "Trust me, I'm still so-"

"There she is," Jake whispered, his eyes on the girl in the white blouse and black jeans who stood a little far away. And before Heeseung knew it, he made his way to her.

"You must be kidding me." He scoffed as he just stood there, staring at Jake as he almost ran to his girlfriend. 

"Love," Jake whispered as he stood next to her and she turned to him with a smile, recognizing his voice right away. "Hi."

"Hey, Jake." She turned to him, hand reaching for his as she intertwined them together. "You look so good today. I love your suit."

"Gosh, you're gonna make me blush in front of this many people." He chuckled, looking into her eyes as she stared at him with utter love.

"Everything looks so beautiful, I can't believe I'm here today," She muttered as he leaned forward to hear her better. "Both as a collaborator and your girlfriend. I'm happy I'll get to share your happiness, Jake."
