1 Sun, 6 Moons: Last Memories | Sunoo x Enhypen

Chapter 54 | S1: Comeback

Jake's POV

"May I get you anything Mr. Sim?" A flight attendant asked me and I shook my head no. It's been a month, the business has been taken care of. Time to go back to Gangnam. I was well aware that it was not going to be the same as before I went back to Australia. But whatever, it's not like I can't survive on my own. I dozed off, ready for tomorrow.

As I stepped off the plane, I felt a mix of emotions wash over me. I still wasn't sure how I felt about returning, but I knew I had to face reality and continue studying here.

I made my way through the airport, feeling a bit tired from the journey. As I walked pulling my luggage, I was approached by Hanni.

"Welcome back Sim Jaeyun!" She greeted me warmly, even holding a poster with my name on it. We decided to grab a bite to eat before heading home.

Hanni and I caught up as we ate, and she dropped me off at my house afterwards. My parents welcomed me back, but there was a heaviness in my heart that I couldn't shake. It's like...something was...missing... I went to my room and noticed a photo of Sunoo and me at my bedside table, back when we were still... t-together. The sight of it brought a surge of painful memories, and without thinking, I threw it into the trashbin.

I laid on my bed, feeling overwhelmed, I decided to rest and sleep off my heavy feelings. The next day was Monday, and I had to face school again. My classmates welcomed me back, but I noticed Jay didn't react or even budge in his seat. It hurt, but I knew I deserved it after the way I had treated them before leaving.

*RING RING* The class bell rang, I saw Jay quickly leaving the classroom, running off before the teacher could even dismiss us. I went to the canteen and ordered my food.

While I was eating, "Hey... Didn't know you came back today... Oh right, you cut off all your communications with us..." Niki approached me.

"Hi." I greeted him.

"Wanna go to the study place, the boys and girls will be eating there." I'm surprised that he was offering me to come join them, is he not aware that Jay might kill me if he sees me? Because I am.

"No." I replied.

He left, but I heard him mumble, "Why the fuck did I even ask..." Good thing I learned to control my anger since I left this place for the first time. I could have told him that he was the reasom why all of this fucking happened.

Later, during weightlifting class, my mind kept wandering to Sunoo. I wanted to talk to him, to talk about everything, but at the same time, I was angry for how things had turned out. I channeled my frustrations into pushing and lifting the barbells, trying to release some of the pent-up emotions inside me.

Ugh goddamn it Sim Jaeyun! Make up your fucking mind.

Sunoo's POV

As the final bell rang, signaling the end of the class, Jay was waiting for me outside as usual. We decided to grab some food, and he insisted on paying. We then headed to the study place where our friends were already chatting and having fun.

Garam, Chaewon, Eunchae, Yunjin, Sakura, Kazuha, Heeseung, Sunghoon, and Jungwon were all there. It felt good to be surrounded by my friends, and the atmosphere was cheerful. Heeseung, Sunghoon, and Jungwon decided to give the girls and the two other boys the keycards to the room.

We all sat down to eat, and I noticed Niki is absent, "Y'all know where's Niki?" I asked, then the door suddenly opened, Niki arriving just in time.

"Jake just arrived." He mentioned, and I could feel everyone's eyes on me, concerned about how I would react.

But I brushed it off, not wanting to burden them with my feelings. After all, I had to be strong and move on from Jake. "What? Don't worry you guys, I already have someone who will protect me." I said and looked at Jay. We both smiled as the others tease us. Jay and I are in a relationship in almost a month now.

After school, Jay and I instructed me, "Stay put here, I'll just get the car." He said, giving me a smooch on the cheek before running off. Just as he left...

"Sunoo..." Someone called my name, my smile faded away... Am I right? That voice with an... Australian accent... I looked back and saw...

Jake.

"Y-You're back..." I greeted him to avoid the awkwardness. I didn't want to be near him anyways.

"I know that Niki already told you." He said in a straight face.

"Then why the helm are you here?" My anger couldn't be contained.

"To say sor-"

"For God's sake Jake! I already moved on, you don't have to say anything to me now. And stop reminding me about everything that happened between us because it's long gone... I'm also... I'm also with Jay now. He treats me better." I didn't hold back, telling him about my relationship with Jay and how much he had hurt me. Jake seemed taken aback, but I couldn't allow myself to be swayed by his apologies. The damage had been done, and I needed to protect myself from further pain.

Jay arrived and noticed us, he got out of the car and stepped in, "The fuck you doin here huh?" He said as he pushed Jake away but I pulled Jay back. "Jay let's just go, let's not cause a scene." I begged him.

"You better go back to where you came from townboy!" I pulled him to the car but he kept shouting. "Jay! Let's go!" I said as I shut the car door.

Jay's POV

As we sat in the car, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions seeing Sunoo upset because of Jake. It hurt me to see him going through this pain, and I wanted to do everything I could to support him.

"What's your plan about Jake?" I asked Sunoo, genuinely concerned for his well-being.

"I'll just ignore him." He responded, leaning his head on the car window.

"I know it's hard, Sunoo," I said gently, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Ignoring him might seem like the easiest thing to do right now, but it won't work forever. At some point, you'll need to talk things through."

Sunoo hesitated, clearly unsure about confronting Jake. But I wanted him to know that I trusted him and would support him, no matter what.

"I promise, Sunoo, I won't get mad," I assured him. "If you feel like talking to him, I'll be right there with you. You don't have to face this alone."

I could see the worry in Sunoo's eyes, but I hoped that my words offered him some comfort. I didn't want him to carry the burden of his feelings on his own; I wanted him to know that I was here for him, always.

He sighed deeply and eventually talked, "Tomorrow, I'll meet him at the cafe."

"Do you want me to come?" I asked, offering my support.

"I think we'll need to talk privately." He said, and I respected his decision, he was right though.

"Okay, just tell me when to pick you up hm?" This is the least I can do to be there him.

"Okay, thank you so making thing so much more easier Jay. I love you." I felt the genuinity in his voice.

"I love you too."

In the meantime, when Sunoo's gone, I might have to open up to mom about...me...
