My Secret Lover | HEESEUNG

11- Suspicious of You (2)

AUTHOR'S POV;

Your eyes slowly opened due to the bright sunlight that hit through your glass windows. You yawned, stretching your arms only to hit something with your right arm. "Eh?!" you thought, freezing in your spot. Your head turned over, seeing a sleepy Jake.

You sat up straight, turning your attention to him. You then noticed a few strands of hair on his face. You reached your hand out to brush them away, but you felt hesitant. Eventually, you got the courage to brush those strands away to get a clearer view of his face, taking a few seconds to admire his features.

Jake shifted in his position, groaning sleepily. He rubbed his eyes, adjusting to the sunlight. He turned his head to you and your eyes met each other's. He then gave you a drowsy, yet warm smile. "Good morning, Y/nnie," he greets you with his morning voice. "Good morning to you too, Jake," you replied, giving him a smile back.

"How long were you awake for?" Jake asks as he sits up straight beside you. "Hm, not long," you answered before releasing a quiet laugh. "I almost mistook you as a creepy monster earlier."

Jake raises his eyebrow, waiting for an explanation. "I woke up, stretched, and my right arm suddenly hit something... gosh my heart stopped for a second only to see you beside me," you explain, sighing dramatically.

Jake sneered, "Then I'll be a handsome monster." You playfully roll your eyes, gently pushing his head back with your index finger on his forehead. "Tsk, tsk, silly boy." "YAH—" Jake wanted to argue but you stood up and left to freshen up in the bathroom before he could speak any more. "HEY, wait for meee."

You and Jake ran downstairs the moment the smell of sausages and waffles hit your nostrils. You both sat down at the dinner table, impatient to have breakfast served. Jay walked over with three plates, setting them on the table before he sat himself down. "Thank you, Jjongsaeng," you and Jake said together in a bright voice, causing Jay to shake his head with a small smile.

Jake was peacefully eating his food until he realized something. "Hey, how'd you know I was here to make a third plate?" You nodded in agreement, chewing on your food. Jay looked up and cleared his throat. "I peeked in your room to check up on you and I happened to see you two cuddling on bed together."

Both yours and Jake's faces showed embarrassment. "Jake wanted to stay until you came home so we watched a movie as we waited... but we got tired and knocked out," you explained to your older brother before he mistakenly assumed what happened. Jake quickly nodded in agreement.

Jay chuckled, setting his fork down. "No need to freak out, I know nothing crazy happened between you two. We have been friends for like... a decade and your relationship with Sunghoon and Jake are platonic."

He then averts his attention to Jake. "Plus, I trust Jake and Sunghoon with my whole life so you and Sunghoon... have a more privileged relationship with Y/n, per se."

You and Jake awkwardly smiled when Jay mentioned "nothing crazy happened between you two." Luckily, you remembered to throw a hoodie on earlier so your hickey wouldn't show.

"No, yeah, totally, you can trust Hoon and I with your whole life because we feel the same," Jake confesses, picking up his fork again. "But if any other guy gets touchy with Y/n, I will—" "Okay, okay... ahahaha... let's just eat..." you interrupted Jay, laughing awkwardly.

Jake eventually went home, and you and Jay were cleaning up the kitchen. Jay cleared his throat, setting his cloth down before turning around. "So... since Jake left... wanna tell me what's going on between you two?" You stopped drying the dishes, quickly turning around.
