THIRD PERSON'S POV
Jake looked at Sunghoon. They only have two days left.
"What's wrong?"
"Heeseung hyung texted me.... He said Jay's drunk."
Sunghoon stopped. He looked at Jake.
"Really? Which bar?"
He grabbed his keys and jacket.
"Let's go."
"Huh?"
"Tell me which bar and I'll accompany you there."
Sunghoon grabbed his hand as they walked out of the house. It was a quick ride, even Sunghoon is rushing.
"Do you want me to come inside?"
"Can you?"
Sunghoon nodded and grabbed his hand. Jake took a deep breath as they entered inside.
"Hyung..."
"Can you tell him to stand up? He's been drinking for a while now. He doesn't listen to me but he keeps on mentioning you..."
Heeseung glanced at Sunghoon. Jake slowly slips his hand away from Sunghoon and approached Jay.
"Why are you here too?"
Sunghoon shrugged, eyes still on Jake.
"Because I need to make sure that Jake will go home safe too."
Jake held Jay's shoulder.
"Jay...."
Jay looked up and smiled.
"Jake! You're here!"
"Yes I'm here... We should go outside okay?"
Jay caught Sunghoon in the side.
"Sunghoon is here too? Hey man!"
Sunghoon just nodded.
"Jay let's go outside now... You're too drunk."
Jay chuckled before he nodded. He leaned on Jake as he stood up.
"I'll help them."
Heeseung went on Jay's side and grabbed his waist, pulling him closer on him instead of Jake.
"Jake...."
They managed to walk outside. They watched as Jay sat on the parking lot's floor.
"Today is such a good day!!!"
Jake sat beside him.
"Jay you shouldn't do this..."
Jay laughed.
"Let me be and just go to Sunghoon."
Jake looked at Sunghoon.
"Let me."
Sunghoon tapped him. He sat on Jake's place as he looked at them.
"Heeseung hyung grab your car already. Go with him Jake."
After the two walked out, Sunghoon glanced at Jay.
"I don't get you."
Jay sniffed.
"You're supposed to be enjoying your day with him but you're here."
"You're drunk."
"I know. And that makes more sense. I'm drunk and you can just leave me alone with Heeseung hyung. I don't want to be an inconvenience."
Sunghoon shrugged.
"Jake wanted to make sure you're okay."
Jay stood up and looked at him.
"I just don't get you."
Sunghoon also stood up.
"Let's just wait for the car and you'll go home."
"Don't act as if you're older or superior than me."
"No I'm not. I just want to make sure that you can go home safe so that Jake can also go home safe."
Jay closed his eyes. From his peripheral vision, Sunghoon saw Heeseung's car. He gestured them to stop first.
"Why are you like this?"
"Dude get over it and let's just take you home."
"Do you really love Jake?"
"I already told you—"
"THEN WHY ARE YOU GIVING HIM TO ME?!"
He grabbed Sunghoon's shirt. Jake was about to go out when Heeseung stopped him.
"Hyung?!"
"Sunghoon hasn't given the signal yet."
"He's about to get hit?! Why is he so stupid!!!"
Heeseung just glanced at him.
"He's yours right?"
"But he's yours in the first place!!!"
Jay pushed him.
"I don't get how you can still let him come to me like this!!! How can you even let him approach me?! Sunghoon I took him away from you!!"
"I know. But if I do anything. Will that change a thing?"
Jay stopped.
"What do you mean?"
"You're a huge part of Jake's life.... Whether I like it or not, you're connected to him. It's just either I accept it like that or I'll let my jealousy eat me."
"I love him and that's true. You can't just try to question my feelings for him just because you think I'm giving him back to you."
Sunghoon met his eyes, he gave the signal to Heeseung.
"You gave me a week and I'm making the most out of it. So even if this is going to be our last, at least I showed him how much I love him."
Jake ran towards them.
"Are you okay?"
Sunghoon removed his jacket and gave it to Jake.
"Let's go. I'm pretty sure Jay is now sober."
Jake looked at Jay.
"Are you okay now?"
Jay just nodded and watches Sunghoon opened the door for Jake.
"Let's go now...."
Heeseung guided him on his car. On their way, Heeseung spoke.
"Please don't ever do that again... You saw how worried Jake is right?"
"Jay I know it's hard but.... You have the rest of forever the moment the two of you comes back on Australia. While Sunghoon.... He doesn't."
"He's also my friend... I was not there from the start but we saw how desperate he is to find Jake."
"He's enjoying his chance... Please give it to him too."
Jay just looked outside as he remembered Sunghoon's words.
