Jake rushed into the bathroom, closed the door, and immediately pulled out his phone.

jake
niki I need help

niki
no

jake
actually
for real
I'm slightly kinda mildly freaking out right now

niki
what's wrong

The answer seemed uninterested but Jake knew he actually cared.

jake
sunghoon just said he likes me

This would be the time when Niki would through in a smart ass comment or a jab at Jake, but he knew this wasn't the time

niki
you like him right?
why isn't that good

jake
you know why

niki
oh
oh yeah

Jake didn't want to give his whole sob story but his last relationship didn't need particularly well. It ended quite terribly actually. That was obvious by the way he was acting right now. Jake didn't even want to think about all the water he must've lost because of the days of crying.

niki
I genuinely think he's a great guy

Niki hadn't met Sunghoon a lot. Sure they had brief conversations when they saw each other at Jake's house, but one of them was always leaving as the other was coming in.

However, Jake talked about Sunghoon, god did he talk about Sunghoon. Niki felt like he had read the whole Sunghoon encyclopedia front to back twice. Regardless of his complaining, he felt like he knew Sunghoon, meaning he also began to trust the guy.

jake
wow
I've never thought a compliment like that was ever going to be directed at anyone other than taki

niki
shut up and let me finish
i'm trying to comfort you

jake
sorry sorry

niki
anyways
felix was a cheating asshole
but just because he was like that doesn't mean sunghoon is
and that boy is very much in love with you
the way he looks at you is disgusting

jake
really?

niki
regretfully yes
and I know you really like him too

jake
I'm not even going to try to deny that

niki
so go for it
take it slow and you'll be fine
and I know people that can hurt him if he fucks with you

jake
that is slightly alarming i'm not even going to question it
thank you niki

niki
yup

jake
that's all you say?

niki
...
ily I guess

jake
aww you're so cute
I love you too

niki
i'm blocking you

Unbeknownst to Jake, Sunghoon was having a mini breakdown of his own in the living room.

sunghoon
