"Lean on me. Lean on me like you used to."



Sunghoon groans waking up as his head was throbbing. He tries to get up when he feels something heavy on his left side. He looks at the side and smiles looking at Jake snuggling closer to his chest.


"You really didn't leave." Sunghoon whispers, turning towards Jake's side caressing hiss hair, "And how are you still this beautiful even in the morning?"


"Morning Sunghoon-ssi." Sunghoon flinches at the sudden voice and then comes to realization that he was in Jake's and Nicholas apartment.


"Morning?" Sunghoon smiles awkwardly as he look at Jake and then back at Nicholas.

"Let him sleep. He looks peaceful after a long time."


"A-are you going somewhere?" Sunghoon ask.

"Yes, I need to go to work." Nicholas smiles, "And I have prepared breakfast. Have it when Jake wakes up."

"Yes. Thankyou."


"Then see you."

"Yes." Sunghoon bows slightly in that position as Nicholas leaves the apartment with a small chuckle.



And after about an hour, Jake stirs awake as Sunghoon closes his eyes in hurry pretending to be asleep.

Jake widens his eyes in suprise. But looking at himself comfortable in Sunghoon's arms, he lets out a small smile, "How are you so gorgeous even in the morning?" Jake whispers as he caresses Sunghoon's hair.


Jake removes himself away from Sunghoon and stares back at him after keeping some distance between them.

"I can't do this. I am a horrible person." Jake chants, whipering repeatedly.

Sunghoon opens his eyes, hearing the small whispers. 


Their eyes meet.


"O-ohh. H-hi? M-morning?" Jake looks away, getting up.

"Morning." Sunghoon smiles.

"Nicho?" Jake ask.


 "He left for work and Nicholas-ssi has prepared breakfast for us. Let's eat."

"O-okay." Jake nods.



"This is your apartment, why are you so awkward?" Sunghoon says, staring at Jake who looks so out of place.

"I-I know." Jake nods sitting across Sunghoon.



"Should we talk or should we eat?" Sunghoon ask.

"Talk? What is there to talk?"

"Ohh." Sunghoon scoffs, "There is nothing to talk? About us? How you ghosted me for a year?"


"Yes. There is nothing to talk. As you said I ghosted you and we are done." Jake shrugs.

"Ohh. So, we are done, huh?" Sunghoon scoffs in disbelief, "You didn't miss me? Not even a bit?"

"Okay I admit. I missed you. And what? So? We are now just memories for each other. Aren't we?" Jake says.


"Memories, huh?" Sunghoon looks at him, "I am sorry but you aren't just my memories. And I can't keep you just in my memories too."

"And when did you come back to korea? I tried to find you everywhere in brisbane." Sunghoon ask, "You knew, didn't you? That I was trying too find you everywhere like a crazy person."
