The Boy Next Door

11.

"Thank you Jake." I say as he lets go of the tight grip on my arm. 

"No worries, princess." he says making me realize Minwoo would go crazy if he say this. 

"What was the reason you got so drunk?" he asks making me realize I got drunk on am empty stomach too. I'm such an idiot. Of course I got wasted so quickly. 

"Uh boyfriend problems. He thinks I have too many guy friends or something. Honestly, I shouldn't even be talking to you." I say while rubbing the part of my forehead with a massive headache. 

"Is that why Heeseung was bawling his eyes out at school? I knew it. He kept denying it, but I'll be darned! I was right!" he yells happily. He was crying at school? Over me?? No. No way. 

"He was crying at school? Shit." I say while pacing back and forth.

"How am I supposed to go to school! He is in every one of my classes!! This is the worst day of my life!!" I say while squatting down on the floor. 

"Love, it's fine. This is just going to be a phase in your life. One second you have your controlling ass boyfriend, the next you have me..." he mumbles.

"Bro what?" I ask to the last part. 

"What I mean is, just face it. The worst thing that could ever happen is you get dumped which is not too bad for me." he says while smirking. 

"Uhm no. Anyway please do not tell Heeseung about this." I plead.

"I'm dumb, but I'm not that dumb." he says while chuckling. I nod and awkwardly stand around since if I start moving I'm definitely gonna fall again. 

"You can't even walk straight after a glass of beer, how are you living life?" he asks while giving me his forearm to lean on. I push it away to not be too friendly, and try to walk myself for a bit while he follows. 

"Shut up. I have the lowest alcohol tolerance. It's a shame I pass out after a bottle of soju. What about you? You don't seem like you have a high tolerance either." I say while giggling. 

"Hmm I can do 7 bottles of soju, easily." he says making me gasp under my breath. 

"Damn. No girl could ever get you drunk could they?" I say while laughing. 

"I mean I'm a good actor. We should get together, all of us, one day and I'll show you." he says while smirking. 

"I'll pass. But I have a question." I ask while staring at his eyes.

"Go on, princess." he says. 

"How many girls have you slept with? I'm sorry, but I'm really curious." I say excitedly.

"Too many. I'm not into long term relationships." he says quietly. I start feelings bad so empathetically I pat his shoulder. 

"It's fineeee. If your having a good time with your friends and school, why does it matter?" I say while smiling. I see his harsh gaze soften and a small smile appears on his face. 

"Pity you're taken by such a asshole. You knowww, I could treat you better." he says while giggling.

"Sorryyy! There are so many girls better then me out there." I say to make him feel better. We enter my neighbor just while talking and it doesn't even feel like 1 minute went by. 

"No worries, princess. Even if we liked each other I would never date you." he says making me tilt my head. 

"Huh why?" I ask curiously. 

"I'm scared I'll hurt you like I've done to other girls. Your too innocent for me to ruin. And too much competition." he says making me laugh.

"Aww you're too sweet, Jake. But competition my ass. I swear no guy spares a glance at me." I say while sighing. 

"Do you seriously not know? Your more of an idiot then I am. Honey, if you gave any guy in our university a chance, they wouldn't hesitate to leave their girlfriends for you. Looks like Heeseung would too." he says making me widen my eyes. 

"Bro, no matter what I say everyone thinks we are not JUST friends." I say. 

"He got you a $100,000 dollar bracelet with his letter engraved on the inside. To me, that seems like he's marking that you're all his." he says while chuckling. 

"Park Chaewon!!" I hear the voice I've been dreading from afar. 

"Oh shit shit shit." I say while freaking out. 

"Chill. I'll take care of your asshole boyfriend." Jake says while distancing us. I hold my breath when I see MInwoo walk up to us looking angry. 

"Who is this Chaewon?? Did you completely ignore what I said earlier??" he demands while pulling my wrist making me wince in pain. 

"Bro chill. Your hurting her can't you see?" Jake says while pulling me away from Minwoo and standing in front of me. 

"She's my girlfriend I can do what I want." Minwoo says while deepening his voice.

"The least you could have done was walk her home after she drank because of you, but you didn't. Funny how I take better care of your own girlfriend then you do." Jake says making me widen my eyes. Oh shit. 

"It's not my fault I can't trust you, Chaewon." he says while turning towards me. 

"Trust goes both ways in a relationship, Minwoo... I trust you why can't you do the same for me?" I say while looking down. 

"Because of guys like him around you! I don't like you having so many guy friends." he says making me frown. 

"Bro shut the fuck up, you know what she's going through because of you?! Your one lucky dude to be dating someone like her." Jake shouts back at Minwoo angerly. I push him back and signal him to leave but he blankly ignores it.

"Stop fighting guys. Jake thank you but please go home, and Minwoo come inside." I say while opening my house door.  

"Baby, I'm sorry. I just freaked out when I saw you with a dude. You guys were so close it made me mad. You know I love you right?" he says making me nod. 

"I love you too. I'm trying hard to cut ties with all my guy friends so please understand." I say while smiling. 

"Of course." he says while leaning into my face. He gives me a long kiss and starts deepening it, pushing my waist into him. 

I can definitely feel him wanting more then this, even with my eyes closed. I quickly pull away since I'm really not in the mood for this especially since I just drank.

"I'm tired babe. You should go home and sleep too. Love you." I say as he walks towardss the door with a heavy sigh. Am I being annoying?

"Bye." he says before leaving. I shut the door and lock it since my parents aren't home yet and head to my room. 

I open my phone and reply to the texts I haven't responded to and before I can even send my first message I hear a ruckus outside.

I hear some kind of shouting from the driveway area so I assume it's some kind of animal and brush it off. The sound goes away and it becomes silent so I finally get ready for bed and shut my eyes.

I really am dreading, waking up and seeing Heeseung at school everyday. I honestly want to die!
