CHAPTER 43

JAKE'S POV

It was Friday and Jake only had one class in the morning. He felt so drained since he had trained all day yesterday and even stayed later to work out after just to distract himself from being a love sick puppy.

He barely payed attention to the lecture as his mind was somewhere else. He then remembered that Haewon didn't have any classes on fridays. Jake sat up in his seat and took his phone out. There was a lot of people in the lecture hall so he made sure his phone was on silent.

*text*
Jake: morning Haewon
Jake: what you up to today?

Jake puts his phone face down at the desk as he was anxious for a reply. He crossed his arms and shook his leg waiting for it to vibrate.

He was startled by his phone as it vibrated. The guy next to him looks over to shush him. He looks over and mouths 'sorry'. He picks up his phone from the desk and sees a message from Haewon.

*text*
Haewon: studying
Jake: what about tonight?
Haewon: I guess nothing.
Jake: can I take you out?

Jake puts his phone down on the desk again as he was nervous he was gonna be rejected. Huh? Jake? Rejection? Even the idea sounded weird to him but he knew Haewon was different. His phone vibrates again. The same classmate looks over with an irritated look. Jake looks back at him and puts both hands out telling him to calm down. He picks the phone up to check the message. He smiled at his phone.

Haewon: what time?

-TIME SKIP-

After class, Jake headed home. He saw his mom very busy at the kitchen with his sister in law. He didn't know his brother was going to be in town today. He looks over to his mom.

"What's the occasion." Jake asked putting his bag down in the counter.

His mom gave him an exasperated look. "I've been telling you about this family game night for weeks now. Your cousins are coming." She said to him.

"Mm!"he said as he took chip from the platter. "I can't make it tonight. I have plans." He said wiping his fingers off.

"Umm, you're coming." His mom said.

"I made plans, ma. I'll come next time". He said before going upstairs.

HAEWON'S POV

Haewon just finished up her homework while lounging in the couch all day. She didn't really feel like going to campus since she was kind of nervous to see Jake around. She didn't know what's was up with her. She didn't hate Jake, at least not anymore but does she like him?

Jake is a good guy, at least from what she's seen from him these couple of weeks. But romantically, she still can't take him seriously considering his reputation around campus. She shook off these thought and got up from the couch and went to the kitchen area for a glass of water. She then checks her phone to see Jake text her that he was on his way.

She quickly got ready before he could make it to her apartment. After 30 minutes, she hears her phone ding again from Jake letting her know he's up front of her complex. Haewon got her purse and headed down stairs to meet him.

Haewon gets into his car. "Hi." She was a bit shy. This was the first time she saw him again after he confessed to her.

"Hey." He said flashing her that famous smile.

She couldn't help but hide her blush. "So, what's ur plan." Haewon said trying to divert the convo. She was genuinely curious.

"I was thinking dinner." Jake said as he started to drive out of her apartment complex. He wanted to surprise her.

The drive was a bit awkward since they both felt a bit tense around each other. As Jake was about to start another conversation, he goes over a hard bump and the car ride started to get rough. Jake was calm and pulled over to the side of the road and put his hazard lights on.

Jake get out of the car to check what it was. It seems like he got a flat tire on the drivers side. Of course this would happen to him while he's on a date with Haewon.

He then sighs since he knows damn well that his Audi doesn't have a spare tire. He goes back inside the car and calls for a tow truck.

"Yep, I got a flat." He told Haewon.

Haewon looked concern. "It's okay, at least we're safe."

"Yeah, I'll call my brother to come get us, we're not to far from my house." He said before dialing his brother. "We can take a different car." Jake tried to laugh it off.

Haewon just rolls her eyes at his joke.

-on the phone-

"Hey Jake, where u at?" His brother picked up.

"Yoooo, I got a flat, can you come pick me up real quick. I'm actually on a date."

"Date? Whaaaat?" His brother said in disbelief.

"Focus, I just a need a ride back home, already called a tow truck. I just need to take the spare car." He said sternly trying to give his brother some sense of urgency.

"Okay, send me your location, imma come get you." His brother finally said.

"Kay, see you in a bit." Jake said before hanging up.

Jake hangs up and looked at Haewon who raised an eyebrow at him. "What?" He asked.

"Spare car?" She asked sarcastically.

"Yeah , spare car." He repeated in a more solid tone.

It didn't take long for his brother to show up to come pick the two of them up from where they were at. The tow truck came just in time to pick up the other car as well. They both got into the car as Haewon greeted his brother. The drive back to his house where he was met with his mom at the garage.

Jake's mom walked over to Jake."Your brother told me everything. You're not taking the car." She then walks over to Haewon. "Haewon, it's so lovely to see you, come inside!" She said pulling her over inside the house.

Haewon greets her back. She had no choice but to follow her. She looks back at Jake in confusion as she entered the big mansion. Jake looks back at her apologetically and mouths sorry.

"You told mom I was on a date?" Jake looks to his brother and asked.

"It slip. She's probably gonna try to meddle." His brother said putting a hand over Jake's shoulder.

"Yup." Jake said in defeat.
