you ran me over!?! // jakehoon ff

nine - you're beautiful

They don't know how, but the sitting straight beside each other with their hands clasped turned into Sunghoon having his arm around Jake's shoulder and Jake leaning his head into Sunghoon's chest.

"This might be a bit of a bold question but uh, do you only like guys?" Jake was very curious and he thought now was the only somewhat appropriate time to ask. "Or everyone maybe?"

Sunghoon shrugged. "I guess." Sunghoon wasn't someone who put a label on his sexuality. He never felt like he needed to. Who he likes is his business, no one else's. "If I see someone I think is hot, then they're hot. I don't really care if it's a boy or girl or whoever."

Jake hummed in agreement, that makes sense. "Do other people know?"

"Maybe?"

Jake scrunched his face, prompting Sunghoon to continue. "I've never told anyone directly." He knew his family was cool with it and his friends, who were literally dating other men, were obviously fine with it too.

"But when someone," he threw a glare down at Jake, "Called me, my friends heard me call you love and whatever and I might've blabbed and said he so now they think I'm dating a guy." Surprisingly his friends hadn't brought up the incident, he wasn't even sure if Sunoo and Jungwon knew.

"One of my friends said that he knew there was gay in me? I don't even know what that was supposed to mean." Sunghoon was still confused. A part of him wanted to ask Jay to elaborate, but he felt like it might do more harm than good. "What about you?"

"I'm bi. To be completely honest it kinda just happened." Jake remembers the night vividly. "I met this guy at a party during my first week at university. One thing led to another and we were dating for almost a year." Looking back, Jake should've realized the signs. He never had any internalized issues, he just genuinely didn't put the pieces together until that night.

They eventually fell into silence, wordlessly watching the tv.

Subconsciously Sunghoon had took a glance at Jake's face and it immediately brought a smile to his face. The look on Jake's face was filled with nothing but happiness and admiration. "You're beautiful."

Jake started talking before Sunghoon could even register what came out of his mouth. "Me? You're talking about me?"

That thought was supposed to stay in his own head but now that it was out in the open he decided to honor it. "Very beautiful actually." They stared at each other, Jake in shock and Sunghoon in amusement.

Jake was very obviously flustered, making Sunghoon laugh. "You're cute when you're embarrassed."

Jake huffed, breaking eye contact. "Like you're one to talk, you are absolutely gorgeous."

Sunghoon paused. "Really?" Jake turned back towards him in disbelief. "Sunghoon, be for real."

He dumbly nodded. "I'm being serious."

Jake searched Sunghoons face for any traces of a joke, but he quickly realized that Sunghoon was actually being serious. He turned slightly more to get a better look at Sunghoon. "I say this with the utmost confidence, no one thinks you're ugly."

"Well don't you two look awfully comfortable." The two jumped as they saw Niki standing there with his arms crossed and eyebrows raised.

"How long have you been standing there?!" Nikis face scrunched up. "Long enough to want to throw up." All Niki knew was that they'd have no more problems pretending to be dating.

Sunghoon laughed and Jake tried to mask the red on his cheeks, pretending to be unaffected by returning to their previous conversation. "Niki, do you think Sunghoon's hot?" Niki scoffed in disbelief. "Of course I do, I have eyes you know."

"Why are you leaving so soon?" Niki was hastily putting his shoes on at the door. "Taki invited me out."

"Aww that's so cute." Niki looked at Jake with a scowl and Sunghoon saw a light red brush up on his cheeks. "Fuck off."

He chuckled. "Have fun with your boyfriend!"

Niki carelessly threw on his jacket. "We are not dating."

Jake raised his eyebrows accusingly. "You literally told me the other night how you wanted to kiss the living daylights out of him because he was so-"

"I'm going." The door slammed and Jake laughed, Sunghoon lightly joining in.
