Chapter 50 | S1: Reasons

Sunoo's POV

As I stood there, stunned by Jake's sudden appearance, a rush of emotions overcame me. I couldn't contain my excitement, and without thinking, I jumped forward and hugged him tightly. "J-Jake! O my gosh! You're finally back!" I exclaimed, feeling the warmth of his presence again after what felt like an eternity.

But the welcoming atmosphere quickly turned tense as the other boys, including Hanni, began scolding him harshly. "Hey punk! Where the hell have you been? You disappeared without a word! We were worried sick!" Jay's voice was filled with anger and concern.

Jake, however, seemed unaffected by their words. His gaze remained fixated on me as he demanded... "Let's talk, privately." Without hesitation, I agreed, and we found a quiet corner at a nearby café in the airport.

As soon as we sat down, I bombarded him with questions, unable to hold back my confusion and hurt. "H-Hey... Why did you leave without saying anything? Why are you going to Australia? Why didn't you attend your flight? And why did you block-" My voice quivered with emotion, desperately seeking answers.

Jake's demeanor remained cold and distant, as he finally spoke, "I needed space, Sunoo. I needed time to think and clear my head. It hurt seeing you and Niki together, and I didn't know how to handle it. I blocked you because I couldn't bear to see your texts anymore."

His words hit me like a punch to the gut. All I had ever wanted was Jake, and to think that he felt hurt and jealous over something that wasn't even real between Niki and me tore me apart. "Jake, you're the one I love. Niki confessed, but my heart has always been yours," I blurted out, unable to hold back my own feelings any longer.

Something shifted in Jake's expression as he heard my me. "Sunoo, I... I thought you were moving on. I didn't want to get in the way of your happiness with Niki," he admitted, his voice tinged with vulnerability.

"You are my happiness, Jake," I replied, my voice wavering with emotion. "I would never choose anyone over you. I love you, and I want us to be together." I said, Jake let out a sigh.

As the conversation between Jake and me continued, my desperation grew. "Jake, please, don't throw away our relationship so easily. I love you more than anything. Can't we work through this?" I pleaded, my voice tinged with sadness.

But Jake remained adamant. No matter how much I tried to convince him, he seemed determined to keep his distance. The frustration inside me began to build, and after countless attempts to change his mind, I couldn't bear it any longer.

Anger and hurt surged through me, and I blurted out in a loud voice, catching the attention of everyone in the café. "Is this how little our relationship means to you, Jake? You're just giving up without even trying to fight for us! I have to do this thing myself!" My hands shook as I spoke, the words coming out in a mixture of anger and desperation.

The air between us became tense as we locked eyes. I could see the conflict in Jake's gaze, but he didn't back down. Instead, he slammed his hand on the table, causing a loud thud that made some of the other customers glance in our direction.

"Maybe you're right, Sunoo," he said, his voice tinged with frustration. "Maybe we should break up. It's obvious that you have feelings for Niki."

His words stung like a dagger in my heart, and for a moment, I considered his suggestion. But something inside me snapped, and I couldn't let him push me away so easily. "No... No! You can't just blame everything on me," I retorted, my voice shaking with a mix of anger and hurt.

"You left without a word, and you're the one who's acting like a coward! I've been waiting for you, and all you care about is yourself!" The intensity of our argument drew even more attention from the other customers, but I didn't care.

"You know what..."

"..."

"Maybe you're right, maybe I'm better off with Niki."

As the words left my lips, I knew that this was a turning point for us. Jake's eyes widened, his jaw slowly dropping. I scattered the stuff off the table and stormed out, tears flowing down but anger took over me more.

The boys saw me walking back alone, Jay was talking, "Jake is a fucking fool for not seeing how amazing Sunoo is. He deserves someone who will cherish and love him without any doubts, not like that scared mouse-" He turned around when Niki signaled him about my presence.

The others asked me what happened, why I was crying, where's Jake, but I just walked past them and pedaled my way home.

Jay then came at my dorm unexpectedly and comforted me. Even watching "Uncanny Counter", I'm still crying. I eventually drifted to sleep laying on Jay's shoulders, but I felt him carry me and drop me to my bed.

"I feel sorry for you Sunoo... I really do... I wish I could-"

Could what... Jay...?

Jay's POV

As Jake and Sunoo went somewhere to talk privately, we gathered to discuss their situation, frustration was evident in all of our voices. "I can't believe Jake just vanished for days and showed up out of nowhere," Heeseung exclaimed, mirroring the feelings we all shared.

"He wasted his ticket, and who knows what he was thinking," I added, my anger growing at the thought of Jake's sudden appearance without any explanation.

But just as we were scolding Jake, Hanni intervened with surprising news. "Wait, I forgot to tell you all, actually, Jake had a 10 pm flight, not 2 pm. Maybe he planned it this way to lead Sunoo here," she revealed, causing us all to pause and rethink the situation.

My frustration only intensified, and I scolded Jake even more harshly for playing with Sunoo's emotions like this. He had no right to mess with Sunoo's feelings, especially after disappearing without a word for so long. "The fuck? That bitch is a fucking player, I'll beat him up if Sunoo let's me I swear."

"Yah calm down, let Sunoo do the talking." Jungwon said.

"Jake is a fucking fool for not seeing how amazing Sunoo is. He deserves someone who will cherish and love him without any doubts, not like that scared mouse-" Niki notified me about Sunoo and I barely finished my sentence.

Sunoo just walked past us. He looked lost and hurt, and he was crying... I knew I had to do something. "I'll handle this, guys," I said, stopping them from following Sunoo. They hesitated but eventually backed off, trusting me to take care of our friend.

I knocked on Sunoo's dorm door, and when he opened it, I could see the pain in his eyes. Without a word, I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him into a hug. He needed someone to be there for him, and I was determined to be that person.

In an attempt to lift his spirits, I decided to play the "Uncanny Counter", hoping to make him smile. However, I was the only one laughing, and Sunoo managed a faint chuckle, which was enough for me. I leaned closer to him, letting him rest his head on my shoulder as we sat together.

Gradually, the weight of his emotions seemed to subside, and Sunoo's eyes began to droop with exhaustion. I gently guided him to his bed and tucked him in. He looked so vulnerable in that moment, and I knew he needed someone by his side.

I decided to stay with him, knowing that he shouldn't be alone tonight. I lay down on the floor next to his bed, offering my silent support.

"I feel sorry for you Sunoo... I really do... I wish I could-" He didn't hear that right...? No no no that's impossible, Fuck it Jay. I just drifted back to sleep.
