Chapter 17

Jake POV
I woke up to Miso cuddled in my arm.
I lifted my head up, my neck sore from resting my head on the headboard all night.
I groaned and massaged my neck before reaching over to the bedside table and putting my glasses on.
I slowly removed my arm from Miso's grip before readjusting her so that she laid on my lap.
I quickly unplugged my phone from the charger and snapped a few pictures of Miso.
I snickered as I added the photo to my insta story.
I quickly put my phone away as Miso groaned, rubbing her eyes.
"Morning pretty girl." I smiled, playing with her hair.
She smiled, her eyes still closed as she reached out for a hug.
I smiled before pulling her close as her head rested on my shoulders.
She sighed before pulling away and turning the television off.
Just then, I heard a knock at the door.
I let out a 'come in' and the door opened to reveal dad.
I heard Miso let out a gasp as she covered her face with her hands.
"Oh! I didn't know we had company today, I'll go get an extra plate ready." Dad smiled as Miso laughed awkwardly.
She let out an embarrassed 'thank you' as dad shut the room door.
She groaned as messed up her hair.
"Geez what do I do now?" She huffed, panicking.
I laughed before getting up as I held out my hand for her to hold.
"It's okay love, let's go eat." I smiled as she nervously got up.
"Don't laugh." She huffed, pushing past me and out of my room.
I sighed and headed out of my room only to see her waiting for me at the other side of the door.
She laughed before jumping up and down and clinging onto my arm.
"Let's eat!!!" She exclaimed as we rushed down.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"Bye!" I exclaimed as dad slipped his shoes on.
"You sure you're okay at home?" He confirmed as I nodded.
"Okay then, see you later." He huffed as Miso and I waved in unison.
I sighed as Miso and I continued eating breakfast.
"You okay?" She asked, munching on some eggs.
I nodded and smiled, picking at my food.
"How about we go shopping? Retail therapy right? And maybe you can dye your hair while you're at it hehe." Miso laughed.
"Hmm? So you don't like me blonde?" I teased as she gasped.
"No! I don't mean it like that! I was just saying like hypothetically you know? Like what if we happened to pass by a salon or..." She rambled as I chuckled.

Miso POV
"Ooh! Look at that!" I exclaimed, pointing at a phone case decorating store.
"Oh! Let's do that!" Jake exclaimed, pulling me to the store.
"Decorating set with charms for 2 please!" Jake exclaimed as we looked at the packages available.
"Sure! That would be $24 please!" The cashier smiled as Jake tapped his card.
We then headed inside to be greeted with bright colours painted all over, as if we were in a nursery school classroom.
We then proceeded to decorate our phone cases so that they would match.
Once we were done placing the charms, we proceeded to make the resin to be poured onto our phone cases.
"AHH don't spill the resin!" I exclaimed as Jake fumbled with the cup.
"I won't, don't worry." He said calmly as I watched over him nervously.
I watched as he slowly poured the resin onto the phone case before using a popsicle stick to spread it around and putting it under a uv light.
"See? I did it perfectly." He laughed a she handed me the cup.
I smiled before taking the cup and repeating the process.
The two of us stared intently at the phone cases under the uv light.
"Do you think it's done?" I asked.
"No, it's only been a minute." Jake sighed as we continued waiting.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"Are you sure you want me to dye your hair? I only know how to cut." I huffed, unsure.
"It's okay love! And even if you mess it up I'm only for you to see hehe." He laughed as I cringed.
I huffed before putting the disposable gloves on as Jake read out the instructions.
Following the instructions, I carefully mixed the hair dye before rubbing it into his hair.
"Don't move! The hair dye will get on your face." I huffed as Jake sighed.
I laughed as I messed around with his hair as his arms were wrapped around my waist, holding me tight.
"Is this good?" I asked, fiddling around with his hair.
"Should be, now let's wait!" He exclaimed as he got up excitedly.
I smiled before removing my gloves and putting a hair net on his head.
"Do you think your hair will fall out?" I huffed.
"Why would you say that about my hair?" He whined, his hands on his head.
"But you're using box dye?!" I huffed as he sat down on his couch sulking.
I sighed before sitting next to him, my head resting on his shoulder.
We stayed silent for a while, watching videos on tiktok.
I sighed, scrolling past the many tiktoks of Jake's scandal.
'Rich CEO'
'CEO son'
'arranged marriage'
'infidelity'
'divorce'
'Sim-'

"Love?" He suddenly let out as I put my phone away and turned the television on.
"Hmm?" I responded, opening netflix.
"Will you still love me if I was bald?" He asked as I scoffed.
"Geez what kind of question is that?" I huffed, sitting up.
"So you wouldn't love me anymore?" He cried, all puppy eyed.
"I mean... of course I would! It's just... an interesting question." I laughed, "Why?" I continued.
"Well I kind of regret using box dye, it's burning now." He smiled calmly.
"WHAT." I let out, jumping up.
"Quick, let's go wash it out." I huffed.
"But it hasn't been 40 minutes yet!" He grumbled.
"Do you want to be bald?" I huffed as he quickly got up.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"Not bad actually!" Jake let out, examining his hair.
"You think so?" I smiled.
"Mhm! I'm shocked." He smiled, looking at his reflection.
"Thanks love." He smiled, planting a kiss on my forehead.
"No problem! It suits you hehe." I laughed as his arm snaked around my waist.
"You think so?" He asked, still playing around with his hair.
"Mhm! Why would I lie?" I laughed as he giggled a little.

Jake POV
I sighed and got up from bed, unable to sleep.
I turned over to check the time.
'2.12'
I huffed before placing my phone back onto my bedside table and getting out of bed.
"Maybe a glass of milk would help..." I mumbled, making my way down to the kitchen.
I reached the bottom of the stairs and realised that the office lights were still turned on.
Strange... Did dad forget to turn them off?
I shuffled towards the office only to realsie that dad was in it.
"Dad! Why are you working so late?" I asked as he looked up.
"Sorry, it's just really hectic at work right now." Dad sighed, pushibg a few papers aside.
"Cause of my relationship and the deal right?" I asked.
"Not at all!" Dad smiled, obviously lying.
"Okay, well just get some rest soon okay?" I sighed as he nodded.
"You too son." He smiled as I headed to the kitchen.
"Gosh I feel so bad... What should I do? The deal is off, everyone knows about my relationship and worst of all... dad's divorce." I thought, placing my cup of milk into the microwave.

"Morning love!" Miso exclaimed, hopping into my car.
"Hey love!" I smiled as Miso shut the door.
"Are you sure your ready to go to school?" Miso asked as I nodded.
"And besides, you'll be by my side right?" I confirmed as she nodded.
I smiled before we began making our way to school.
