Nocturne | Heejake

A few days ever since Jake had discovered his soulmate's choice of songs, he couldn't help but notice how they always repeated a few lines over and over again with different notes and tunes every now and then. Out of curiosity, he'd searched those lines to find out the song's title but, to his surprise, couldn't find an exact result. Although that left him disappointed multiple times, he had his studies to focus on but the same few lines playing in his head always managed to keep him distracted. He even spoke to Leo about it but the boy only had one response, "Maybe they are writing their own song, or maybe it really is Heeseung." Jake never thought much about it though, there was no way it was Heeseung.

It was yet another weekend Jake was immersing himself in his physics textbook, however, a notification grabbed his attention. Lee Heeseung has released a new single. The boy didn't wait for a second to plug his earphones in and click on the video, the song had a mesmerizing melody that immediately pulled him into a trance. It weaved a delicate tapestry, effortlessly intertwining each note in perfect harmony, creating a symphony that stroke deep at the core of Jake's soul. When the song was coming to an end, the last few lyrics made his eyes widen and his heart race. Those were the lyrics that were repeated by his soulmate frequently. And Jake didn't know how to feel.

Not to his surprise, a few minutes after he had listened to the song and calmed down a little because it could have just been a coincidence, Leo called Jake telling him about the same thing. "Jake! It was the same line you kept mumbling to me every day. I'm sure your soulmate is Heeseung, it's so obvious that you can't deny it at some point." Jake still shook his head not ready to believe what had just unveiled before him so instead of just jumping to a conclusion, he decided to ignore it all. Maybe it was Heeseung's producer or writer; anyone from the staff he worked with as well. "You're so stubborn what the heck! That lyric was nowhere to be found. How about I tell you that he is doing an online live concert? We could buy tickets and have a good time and confirm our doubts." Jake shrugged, it wasn't a bad idea.

"Why am I supposed to be the one buying the ticket for the both of us, dumbass? It was your idea." Jake whined as he softly hit his head on his desk multiple times. "That's because you're the rich one here and plus, we are sort of doing this for you," Leo pointed at Jake and then at himself before throwing his hands in the air, "Not me." Jake rolled his eyes but still reluctantly agreed, Leo never asked for Jake's money anyway. "Thank you." Leo smiled politely at Jake but he cringed, not expecting Leo to suddenly become nice. Leo just laughed and shrugged, grateful that Jake crossed out something on his bucket list for him. "This doesn't come for free," Jake smiled wickedly and then patted Leo's back, "Since I'm terrible at computer science, best friend, you'll do my homework for me."
