Jake Sim felt lost as he stood on the parking lot of the Speediez. He felt sick to his stomach. He didn't even know why he thought it was a good idea to bring up Lee Namsoo. He was just annoyed with how the woman was treating Jinah.
A sigh left Jakes lips. He felt like throwing up. The food wasn't as good and he definitely would have preferred to be with Jinah alone. Why did he think it was okay to invite them. He shook his head. He never learned from his mistakes.
He didn't feel like going home. He grabbed his phone and looked through his contacts. His best friend Park Sunghoon was probably busy with his new job. He had a USA tour to plan and prepare after all.
The only one who'd probably wouldn't mind hanging out with him was his friend Lee Heeseung. With a sigh he pressed his name on his screen and held his phone to his ears. The phone rang twice before the one year older male accepted the call.
"Hey Jake" Lee Heeseung, a twenty-year old college student, grinned into the phone. "What's up?", the Libra asked and waited for his friends response. "Hyung, would you mind going out with me? I feel like getting shit-faced drunk."
Silence washed over the phone and Heeseung hummed. "Did something happen? You usually don't go drinking during the week." Jake sighed. "I'd rather tell you in person. You cool with that?"
"Cool."
"Let's meet in half an hour by the pub by my house" Jake said and Heeseung hummed. "See you then." The older lad hung up and Jake started walking home. He definitely needed a distraction from todays events.
He liked Kwon Jinah.
He really wanted to be her friend. She seemed like a genuinely nice young woman. She was quite introverted and shy, but Jake didn't mind. When she spoke to him, she seemed open and often smiled brightly.
But Jake saw how fake her smile was when Lee Namsoo was around. It was making him sick to his stomach. At first he thought it was cool, to get to know Jinah's friends. He wanted to know whom the people were, that accompanied Jinah on her travel through her life.
But after watching the interactions between Jinah, Namsoo and Kim Hanwool Jake quickly realized that something was off. Hanwool seemed like a complete himbo. He was too smitten—too in love—to see how fake the cutesy attitude of his girlfriend was.
Lee Namsoo was as slick as a snake. She knew what to say, how to bat her eyes and how to pout to make people around them fulfill every single one of her wishes. She was clever for doing so.
