" Hyung" Jungwon yelled as Jake walked into the dorm from a long day of classes. "We're going to the bar tonight". Jake grimaced at the thought of going to the bar again. He hasn't heard from Heeseung since the confrontation in the alleyway. He hasn't been going anywhere since then, going to class and then straight back to the dorm, scared that something is going to happen. Jake sighed as he dropped his bag on the floor " Not tonight Jungwon. I'm not feeling it," Jake replied as he flopped onto his bed. "What, not again. You have been cooped up in this dorm for two weeks," Jungwon told him as he came and sat on the bed. "It's not going to be like last time. Plus Sunoo and Sunghoon will be there. They would kick your ass if you didn't come to see them and you know it, " Jungwon said as he grabbed his wallet. He turned back to look at Jake, "So are you coming or not?" Jake let out a deep sigh and begrudgingly got out of bed, got cleaned up, and went out the door to meet his friends.

Heeseung was sitting in the VIP section when he spotted Jake and his friend walking into the bar. They sat down with two other men who he assumed were more friends of Jake's. Heeseung sipped his drink while he observed Jake from a distance. He looked more relaxed than a couple of weeks ago and he seemed to be enjoying the night. Heeseung just couldn't stand not seeing Jake. Ever since he talked to him in that alley a couple of weeks ago, Heeseung couldn't stop thinking about that golden retriever boy. The way his messy blonde hair fell into place and his chocolate brown eyes pierced his soul, Heeseung blushed at the thought. A few hours later Jake's friends looked like they were going to leave, but Jake stayed behind. He was sipping on his drink at the bar, and just as Heeseung was going to secretly join him, a man walked up to Jake. The strange man sat down and leaned in close to Jake, too close.

Jake sat at the bar peacefully drinking his shot of Titos, when a man came over and sat next to him "What's your name" the man said as his breath smelled like alcohol and cigarettes. "Jake," he said as he felt the man's hand on his thigh. "Want to come over to my place?" he said moving his face close to Jake making him cringe from the smell. "No, thank you," Jake told him shoving him away and making the guy almost fall off the chair because he was so drunk "You don't have to be a bitch about it," the man said as he got up going towards him but this time going in for a kiss.

Heeseung noticed that Jake was getting increasingly uncomfortable with that man harassing him. He could hear Jake telling him no and shoving him. The man wasn't getting the hint, and Heeseung was getting pissed off. When the man tried to go after Jake again, he got up, grabbed the man, and yanked him back before he could get closer to Jake. "What was that for?" said the intoxicated man. Heeseung took a deep breath and ignored that man as he turned around to Jake. He had a shocked look on his face. "Are you okay, Jake?" Heeseung said. Jake nodded his head, "I'm okay now. Thank you for taking care of that creep," he sighed and looked down, "He kind of ruined the mood, so I might just head back to the dorm," he said as he stood up. Heeseung put his hand on Jake's shoulder, "Wait... why don't we go to my place for a bit? I've got some drinks and you won't have to worry about drunk creeps trying to feel you up." Jake looked surprised, "I don't know you that well, Heeseung. How do I know that I can trust you?" Heeseung smiled and leaned in slightly closer, "That's something that you're just going to have to find out, isn't it?" He grabbed Jake's hand and led him out of the bar. Jake didn't resist, though he wasn't sure why.

Jake walked into the house as Heeseung opened the door. The house was just as huge inside as it was on the outside, but it was surprisingly cozy. It was more of a cottage-style home with a modern twist on it. "Make yourself comfortable," Heeseung said, "I'll be right back." As Jake walked around, he noticed there were no pictures displayed around the house. He thought it was slightly strange, but didn't put too much thought behind it and moved on. He was cut off from his thoughts as Heeseung walked back into the room. He walked over handing a glass of wine to Jake as they sat on the couch. "So... how do you know Jay?" Heeseung asked out of nowhere, making Jake choke on his wine.
