▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ❤︎, JAKE
OF COURSE I'D MISS YOU.
Why did he feel out of place? Almost as if he shouldn't be here. But yet he should. For you though. If it were anyone else he wouldn't have come. Jake stuck out like a sore thumb against the crowd. But seeing as this was possibly his only chance to see you cheer before he travel back to Korea. Some part of him couldn't believe he let you beg him into coming to this game.
Not that he didn't want to see you cheer but Jake was more into soccer than football. Pushing through the crowd the Aussie continued to make his way towards the stands, feeling a bit uneasy at the crowd surrounding him. The mask and hat he wore didn't help much in concealing his identity, but he hoped it would at least provide some anonymity. As he finally reached the stands, he searched for a spot where he could blend in better.
Why didn't he tell you he couldn't make it instead of actually showing up? He knew for a fact that you knew his group was on tour and yet he couldn't resist the opportunity to see you cheer in person, especially for the first game of the college football season. Gosh was he such a sucker for you. Jake's heart raced as he found a spot in the stands where he could discreetly observe the game without drawing too much attention. He stole glances at you, your energy and bright smile illuminating the whole stadium. Seeing you so passionate and happy made him feel both proud and melancholic at the same time. When would he ever get to see you like this again? Now looking back on it you two were on two separate paths now.
Jake living his dream of being an idol and you living out your dreams as a cheerleader in America. No more of you two sharing the same city, going on adventures together, or spending lazy Sundays in each other's company. It was a bittersweet realization that their lives were diverging, and it tugged at Jake's heartstrings. He couldn't help but wonder if he made the right decision by pursuing his career in Korea.
As the game progressed, Jake's attention kept drifting from the field to you. Memories of your time together flooded his mind – the laughter, the support, and the moments of understanding that seemed to bond you two so closely. He missed the simplicity of those days, where distance and time zones were never an issue. Now, being oceans apart, he yearned for a way to make things work. No more of the same thing. As you stood on the sidelines, your eyes couldn't help but search the crowd.
Jake had to have come, right? He wouldn't miss the opportunity to see you in action. He wouldn't, would he? "Y/N." Your cheer mate called getting your attention. Turning back towards the game, you tried to push the thoughts of Jake aside and focus on cheering. Jake's eyes never once left the field, his gaze fixated on you as you cheered and encouraged the team. He wondered if you saw him or at least recognized him behind the disguise. But the distance and the crowd made it unlikely for you to spot him.
