I was mindlessly scrolling through my FYP when I saw a video of Jake from his live the other day. I knew he'd gone live and I even watched a few minutes of it but didn't get to watch the full thing since I was busy that day.

In the clip from the live, Jake reads a comment that says, "Can you speak French?". Jake thought for a moment, "Uh... hola!" He said. My mouth dropped open. It then cuts to a clip from the same live of someone asking him to speak Spanish. He then went on to say, "Bonjour."

I couldn't help but smile at this but at the same time I felt a bit betrayed- jokingly of course. I mean, I was literally Hispanic and have taught my boyfriend some stuff in Spanish. I would've thought he'd at least know 'hola' by now.

Later in the night, I heard the front door open from my bed and the sound of Jake yelling out to me that he was home. A minute or two later, Jake walked into the room with a smile. I smiled back at him as I put my phone down and crawled to the end of the bed, kneeling on the mattress as I hugged Jake in greeting. He hugged me back, rubbing my back as he did so before we both pulled away. Jake then leaned down and gave me a kiss which I returned.

"How was your day?" I asked Jake as he got in bed next to me, his hair damp, seemingly having had showered at work.

"It was tiring but it was good." He responded. "What about your day, princess?" Jake then asked me.

"Hmmm," I pretended to think. "It was good for the most part." I told him.

"For the most part?" He asked with a small smile.

"Yeah, it was good until I saw a clip of you on TikTok." I told him.

He looked confused, "Mind showing me the clip, baby?" Jake asked me.

"Of course." I say, pulling out my phone and going on TikTok, clicking on my saved videos and going to the TikTok I saw of Jake earlier. I let the clip play for Jake before turning off my phone.

He bit his lip, awkwardly smiling at me for a moment, as I held back my smile. His smiles were contagious... okay. "Princess, I'm sorry. I know that 'hola' is Spanish. I was just tired and not thinking." He apologized.

"Wow, after all the time I spent teaching you Spanish." I teased, dramatically putting my hand over my heart.

"Hey, you teach me a lot. My brain just wasn't working. Listen..." He cleared his throat which made me giggle. "Te amo, mi amor." Jake then says.

I giggled even more at his words, blushing and smiling at his dorkiness, "Whatever." I teased, rolling my eyes.

"Hey, I spend time teaching you Korean too. Can you even say anything to me in Korean?" Jake asked me with a wide smile.

"Um, yes. 자기... 사랑해." I say.

It was now Jake's turn to giggle at me, "Fine." He says.

"How about this... you teach me one new Spanish word a day and I'll try my best to memorize it." Jake tells me, holding me closer to him. "As long as you promise to learn some Korean as well." He then adds.

"Deal." I say, happy with his compromise.

"Now, let's cuddle." Jake suggests and I nod, cuddling up closer to him as we start talking about the most random stuff.
