Chaconne | ENHYPEN

|Due Respect|

Jake tells his story to Jeoju, glad that she's willing to listen to him, even if the whole truth sounds silly.

"Those flowers you received yesterday were from us to you, Jeoju. We loved your performance and wanted to send you our appreciation."

Jeoju's face begins to light up again, remembering the many bouquets occupying her room.

"Ahh, each one had the first letter of all your names, right? That makes sense."

"Yes. Each one from each of us."

"Now I can truly give my thanks to you; they're very lovely, Jake. I thank you for them."

"You're very welcome," Jake responds, the two of them chuckling at each other as Jake plays with the bottom of her dress.

"So, how did you bring me here?" Jeoju asks, thinking about the reality she needs to go back to, despite the other reality she's now a part of.

"Allow me to show you."

Jake doesn't go far as he turns to a curtain near his bed, hiding what had appeared to be a large tunnel, illuminated by candles along the way. It's a bit far, but Jeoju was able to see the other side.

Jake leads Jeoju back to her room, showing her how he was able to go through. She watches as he lay a hand against the side of the glass, simply sliding it aside, able to make it through to the dark room.

It was just as they left it, shards on the carpet, the bouquet of flowers lie dead in front of the frame, the candle cold in its place on the frame, waiting to be lit.

"Thank you for bringing me back, Jake."

"My pleasure. Now you know where to go if you happen to need me." Jeoju nods, grateful for a new place to stay if need be.

"Jake?"

"Hmm?"

Jeoju hesitates, looking down at the floor to pick up the bouquet of flowers, initialed J.

"You must've seen me undress before if you have access to my mirror, haven't you?"

Jake licks his bottom lip before biting it, his smile wide as he whips around to look elsewhere beside Jeoju.

"I may have looked, but it was with all due respect, no perversion intended."

"That also means you must've seen my body when you changed my dress, right?" At this point, Jeoju was just teasing Jake, but couldn't help but think of being observed by such an attractive man.

"Now, now, Jeoju, you must admit you feel much more comfortable in this than you did in that piece of cloth."

"I do, and I'm grateful you did."

Jake purses his lips together, placing his hands in his back pocket, smiling at Jeoju, happy that she's happy.

"Thank you, Jake, for all that you've done for me. I wish I'd know how to repay you."

"Grant me 3 wishes."

"3 wishes?"

"3 wishes. But I won't tell you what. That's how you can repay me."

"Okay, I'll grant your wishes."

Jake smirks at her enthusiasm and proceeds through the mirror.

"Good night, Jeoju."

"Good night, Jake."
