Chapter 16

2 Days Later
Jake POV
I arrived in school only to be bombarded by people as they shouted question after question in my face.
"Jake! Is it really true?"
"Jake what happened?"
"Where's Miso??"
"I feel so bad for you..."
"Geez Chaesoo's one piece of work huh?"
"How could you be so mean to Chaesoo??"
The questions were pouring until Chaesoo walked in, allowing all the attention to move to her.
I huffed and quickly ran off, hoping to escape from all the drama.
"Jake oh my goodness!!" I heard as I entered the classroom.
I looked around to see Jieun sitting at Miso's table.
I let out a sigh of relief as I made my way to my table.
"Did you see whst got posted on the school forum?" She sighed as I sat down.
"No... I don't check that thing." I smiled, panting before taking a sip of water.
"Well you should start doing that." Jieun sighed as she handed her phone to me.
I glanced at her as I took her phone and looked at the screen.
I quickly realised that it was a video and pressed the 'play' button.

'So what! Is that any of your problem?'
'Yes it is! Your destryoing your own reputation which ultimately destroys mine!'
'Are you trying to get the deal off?'
'Are you not trying to do that? You dating another girl called off the deal long ago didn't it.'
'But we're not even real! Was that not the whole point? I don't like you and I never will, has that not been clear?'
'Do you not understand what I'm trying to say?'
'I like you okay? That's what I've been trying to say, why do you think I suggested this in the first place?'

I huffed as the video ended.
I'm so dead...
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

I sighed as I held onto the doorknob of the main door.
"Come on Sim Jake, you can do this." I mumbled, hyping myself up.
I hesitated before I heard scratching at the door.
"No Layla!" I huffed, leaving no choice but for me to go in.
"I'm home." I said briefly as I pushed the door open.
"SIM JAEYUN!" I heard coming from the office.
Fvck...
I sheepishly made my way to the office to see mum pacing around the room, seemingly frustrated.
She must have felt my presence as she abruptly turned to look at me.
"Are you insane?!!" She shouted as I looked down.
"Do you have a death wish or something? How could you blow this?" She huffed, running a hand through her hair.
I remained silent, unsure of what to say.
"How could you blow something this simple? Are you stupid?" She scoffed.
"Hey, answer me!" She huffed, nudging my shoulder.
I hesitated for a while before mumbling out a 'sorry'.
"Is that it? Your pathetic." She scoffed as tears ran down my face.
"Hah... you're a 17 year old boy CRYING? Boys DON'T and CAN'T cry you hear me?" She yelled as I nodded quickly before wiping my tears.
"You're really embarrassing." She let out, scoffing.
I let out another 'sorry' before she began screaming at me once more.
I sighed as she shouted, as if it was never ending.
"I wish you were never born! Your a failure and I hate you!" She shouted as I was met with a tight slap along with a harsh shove.
I fell to the ground, my hand cupping my cheek.
Tears streamed down my face as I processed my own mother's words.
Just then, I heard the main door open.
I heard rushed footsteps and realised that it was dad.
He rushed to my aid, helping me up before telling the maids to bring me up to my room.

I cried as one of the maids, Ms Lee, applied medicine to the affected areas.
"It's okay Jake, don't cry. How about an ice cream?" She smiled as she wiped away my tears, reminding me of my childhood.
"I'm not a baby anymore Auntie Lee." I cried as she laughed.
"You always will be to me, remember that okay? I'll always be here for you." She laughed, packing up the med kit.
I nodded and smiled as she cupped my face.
"I'll get you your ice cream now, stay here alright?" She laughed as I smiled.
I watched as she left the room and quickly called Miso up.
"Hey babe! What's up?" She smiled, waving at the camera.
"Oh what happened to your face?" She asked, inching forward.
"Oh it's nothing love don't worry." I reassured as she nodded hesitantly.
"You know you can tell me right?" She reminded as I nodded.
"I know." I smiled before quickly changing the topic.
After a while, I heard a knock at my door and went to open it.
"Hey Jake! Here, eat well." Ms Lee smiled before shutting the door.

3rd person POV
"Your son is horrendous! How could he just break the deal?" Mrs Sim scoffed.
"You mean OUR son. And how could you put money over him?" Mr Sim retaliated.
"He stopped being my son the moment that piece of news came out." Mrs Sim laughed.
There was a moment of silence before Mr Sim started speaking.
"You know what, I'm tired of putting up with this. Putting up with YOU too." He huffed.
"Excuse you?" Mrs Sim let out in shock.
"I want a divorce."  Mr Sim huffed.
"Sorry what?" Mrs Sim scoffed.
"I want a divorce, get out." Mr Sim said sternly as he pointed towards the exit.
"You can't divorce me! I practically run your company!" Mrs Sim shouted.
"I've ran it solo once and I can definitely do it again." Mr Sim laughed.
"You've got to be kidding me..." Mrs Sim mumbled as she stormed her way out of the office.

Jake POV
"Wait I'll go make some cup noodles, I'm super hungry." I informed as Miso laughed.
I headed out of my room with my phone in hand as I tip toed to the kitchen.
I soon arrived at the kitchen and noticed that the lights in the office were still on.
Strange...
"Oh should I have shin or buldak?" I whispered, boiling some water.
"Shin, duh what kind of question is that?" Miso joked as I took the noodles out from the cupboard.
I was closing up the lid of the cup noodles when I noticed my mother coming down the stairs with her luggage in hand while
my dad trailed behind.
Was she going on a business trip again?
"Mum, dad, what's happening?" I asked, placing a pair of chopsticks on the lid to weigh it down.
Mum scoffed before leaving the house before dad made his way to the counter.
"Your mum and I are getting divorced." Dad sighed before I hung up on Miso.
"What, why?" I let out.
"I couldn't just sit and watch you go through all the things she's putting you through anymmore, it just isn't right you know?" He laughed sadly.
We stayed silent for a while, unsure of what to say to eachother.
"I'm sorry dad." I let out as he chuckled.
"What's there to be sorry for? I should be sorry for not standing up for you." Dad smiled and I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes.
"Well she won't bother you anymore okay? Don't worry, we can do this together." Dad sighed as I nodded.
He smiled before pulling me into his embrace as he patted my back soothingly.
"Thank you for being my son." He smiled as I started sobbing.

Miso POV
I anxiously waited by my phone in hopes that Jake would call back.
Just then, I felt my phone vibrate and quickly picked it up.
Hey love, ill head to bed now, let me know if i need to pick you up for school tomorrow okay? goodnight!!

I sighed at the message before typing back.

your deffo not in the condition to go to school tomorrow love, just rest and ill go over tomorrow okay?

I huffed before quickly putting my phone away.
I sighed before quickly getting ready for bed, in hopes that Jake was okay.
"Geez I can't believe I heard such a personal thing, what do I do?" I huffed, squeezing toothpaste on my toothbrush.
I paced back and forth in the bathroom as I brushed my teeth, thoughts running through my mind.
"But I can't just leave him like that right?"
"Shouldn't give him some space?"
"But he would need someone to talk to right?"
"But what if he gets mad?"
"Wait why would he get mad?"
"Geez should I just..." I huffed before rinsing my mouth.
I sighed as I grabbed my keys and phone before rushing out of my room.
"Dad, I have an emergency, don't worry if I'm not home okay? I'll be at Jake's and I'll leave my location on." I informed as I slipped my pair of crocs on.
"Okay! Be safe!" He exclaimed as I rushed out of the house.
I huffed as I made my way to the convenience store to buy some snacks.
"Ice cream, cream buns, chips..." I mumbled as I picked out the snacks.
I grunted as I placed the basket on the counter.
Geez, did I buy too much?
"Your total is 28.70." The cashier smiled as I opened my bank app.
"Gosh thats like a quarter of my allowance." I mumbled as I paid.
And with that, I quickly rushed out the convenience store and headed to Jake's house.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

I sighed as I placed a bag on the ground before pulling my phone out of my pocket.
I looked for Jake's contact before calling him.
"Hey love, everything okay? Do you need me to come over?" He asked as I heard shuffling.
"No, but you could help me open your front door." I laughed as he gasped.
Suddenly, I head his phone drop and I quickly let out a 'hello' to check if he was okay.
"Love? Hello? You there?" I asked once more just as the door burst open.
"Baby!" He exclaimed, pulling me into a bear hug.
I laughed as he held me close, his hand carassing my hair.
"I'm so glad your here, I wanted to see you the most." He giggled as I smiled.
"Well, I thought you needed some snacks so I bought your favourites." I informed, pulling away.
"Really?" He exclaimed, flapping his arms like a little kid.
I laughed at the sight before handing him one of the bags and taking the other.
