Jay was temporarily living at Jake's place till the younger deemed it was safe for him to go back home. After the stalking incident, Jake's s been a bit cautious with Jay's s safety. It wasn't usual for their leader to be a target of somebody, especially when
Jay rarely shows his face around gang deals.

Jake watched as Jay ate dinner, the man was exhausted from all the conferences. Jay's cheeks puffed up with every chew like a bunny, and he was focused on grading papers before he could go to bed. Out of his teaching clothes and into Jake's pajamas - they had different bodies, so everything Jake wore was baggy on Jay.

".. Finish your food then work," Jake
says, crossing his arms, "You'll choke
on fish bones if you don't even look at
what you're eating."

Jay stopped chewing, looking at Jake before putting the paper down. ".. Sorry," he says, "Just want to get this done as soon as I can."

Jake pulls up a chair beside him, sliding the papers toward himself.
"English?" He sighs, ".. I would help
you, but you know I don't understand
english. Sun can help though, It'll be
much faster."

"Sun rarely has enough free time to
himself. He's not a teacher, he doesn't
need to grade these papers either," Jay shakes his head. "It's fine, Jake.."

Jake pursed his lips, ".. How did the
conferences go?"

"I met Jangmi's father," Jay hums, looking back at his food before eating once more. This time, his attention focused on their conversation. "... He was something"

"What do you mean?"

"He was passive-aggressive with me,"
Jay shrugs, "It was like he was trying to start some argument with me for no reason. Then he randomly starts
talking about LGBTQ and proceeds to
call me baby. The meeting was supposed to be about Jangmi, but I swear he was trying to-"

"Hold on, he called you what?" Jake cuts him off, tilting his head in confusion as he looks at him. His eyes
trailed down toward Jay's hands. "..You don't wear a ring on your ring finger. That's why single parents usually flirt with you."

"... He didn't have a wedding ring on
his finger either," Jay huffs, putting his spoon down. "I don't even know if he was just joking around or was homophobic. All I know is that Jangmi's father doesn't like me."

".. Give me a second."

Jake got up and left the kitchen, and
Jay waited continuing to eat till there was nothing left on his plate. He doesn't eat till he's full often, but when he does he usually falls asleep an hour later.

The man comes back with a small box
in his hand. Placing it on the table as he sat back down. "... Wear this"

"Isn't that your promise ring from your ex?" Jay says, "... I shouldn't wear
that."

"... I still have things in this house I
want to get rid of," Jake shakes his
head, "This is one of them. I don't wear it anymore, but it's pretty. Just put it on your ring finger, it'll at least help you from women flirting. I know you don't like that."

Jake slides it toward Jay, popping open the top. Showing a pretty silver ring with a paper airplane charm on it, shining under the kitchen light. "Put it on, we have the same ring Size. Remember?"

Jay sighed before picking it up.
".. It's so thick," he says, sliding it on
only to be strongly shocked as soon as
the metal hit his skin. He flinches a bit, but Jake doesn't notice.

"It won't slide off," Jake shrugs. "He
always told me to wear it whenever
he wasn't around. Keep it, it helps me
forget."

Jay hesitated but nodded. "... If it
helps, I wil.."

Jake smiles gently before placing his
hands on the table and pushing himself off the chair. "Alright well, I'm heading to bed. Don't forget to wash your plate when your done."

"I will."

Meanwhile, Heeseung had been eating a salad. He sat by his desk, expensive computers scattering the table with keyboards and mouse cords neatly organized. Soft music playing out of speakers, he was under soft pink florescent lights he set up in his room.

He was typing away, codes dripping
from his fingertips as he drank water.
He suddenly heard a ping come from
one of his computers.

He turned his attention to it, noticing a sudden notification he hasn't seen in a long time.
