2. Cherish

Aera's pov

"We're home!" I shout from the living room , both talking off our shoes and walking in.

"Oh sweetie your ho-JAKE?!" Mrs.sim stands there shocked seeing her son after a year . "Hey beautiful lady" jakes walks towards her giving her a hug while i keep standing and smile at the heart warming scene of a son and mother reunion. I wish mr.sim was here too , its been 8 years since he went missing . Reminds me off the time of a happy family , just like mine. Tears starts pooling in eyes but i quickly hold them back.

She cups jakes face with her palms , and he's just widely smiling " oh my dear son , how much i missed you , thank god your back now" she says almost crying . "Hey, dont cry now , shouldnt you be happy eomma? " he chuckles wiping away the tear that just fell.

"You know its a great occasion to celebrate, but im afraid i have to go work , today's weekend and the café is crowded once again"she says sighing but suddenly jake puts his arm around both of our shoulders and says "well since im back , let me lend you a hand , and im being nice only this one time , because i swear mom if you kick my ass for not working and praise this little shortie here , im gonna steal that money you've been hiding beneath the counter"

Jake gives a smug look to his mother who widens her eyes and smacks him hard on his arm.

"You know what me and Aera can work alone just fine , no need to lEnD Us a HAnd anymore " she mimics him and rolls her eyes while i laugh my ass off seeing how shocked jake is 'cause of his sassy mother . We both walk away and hear a voice behind us "yah! It isnt fair , wait for me at least , you guys are so mean" he's whining again . Me and mrs.sim just giggle.

Jakes pov

After giving almost all the orders me and Aera finally sit behind the counter , emitting a sigh cause of how tired we are. "How many order's?" She says with her eyes closed . " 54" i reply while chuckling as her eyes shot , staring at mine with her wide eyes. " In just 2 hours?! Oh my god" she slides down in her chair , and i just shake my head.

"Anyways , you havent told me about your life in seoul, hows Heeseung and the rest of the gang?" She questions me. "Oh they're doing great , but kinda busy you know , new semester is about to start after a month or two but still having fun" she passes me sulking face " i cant wait to go to college".

"Tch! What a sorcery that you passed the exam and not me in our first try , eventhough im more smarter than you" she says giving me a judging look.

Well i aint sitting there listening to her rant , i turn around in my chair completely facing her " you know what shortie , i guess im more lucky than you , cause no matter what im always winning , after all im the sim jaeyun" poking the inside of my cheek with my tongue , clearly visible how proud i am. She just imitates me , irritated by my behavior causing me to giggle.

Minutes pass , while scrolling on our phones she suddenly pulls me by my arm pulling me closer to her and before i could react my face is just inches away from her causing me to hold my breath .

"Jake, take a look at this" she tugs further on my shirt , causing me to snap out of my thoughts and look at her phone.

"This unknown number has been bursting my phones with notifications eventhough i blocked it many times , and surprisingly they know my name and they keep talking about murder and stuff and im definitely creeped out"  she tells me with worry etched over her face.
