Nocturne | Heejake

"Jay, can you hurry up? Your friend has his soulmate to get to." Sunoo quickly forced Jay away from his mirror and out of his room, finally getting him to enter his car. Although Jay thought he was only half ready, no one really cared. "We pick Ni-ki up and then Jake Hyung. The concert is in an hour, do you really want to waste time like this?" Jungwon slapped his arm, causing Jay to roll his eyes and start driving. Sometime later, everyone was gathered in Jay's car, Jungwon sat on the passenger side while Ni-ki, Sunoo and Jake cramped up in the back. Then, Heeseung stood on the stage, engulfed in a sea of eager faces and blinding spotlights. And Jake was left dumbfounded, he was in Jay's car just minutes ago.

His voice soared through the air, commanding attention and stirring emotions in the hearts of his audience. Each note resonated deep within his soul as he sang, carrying with it years of effort and longing. Little did he know that amidst the deafening applause and adoration, there was one person who truly understood him. Unbeknownst to him, Jake stood at the back of the crowd, his eyes fixed upon him as he sang along to every song. With every word he sang echoing through Jake's mind, he harmonized effortlessly, making Heeseung believe that his soulmate was indeed somewhere in his crowd.

Throughout the concert, Heeseung remained restless, he felt the need to point it out and see his soulmate for himself. But being famous was different. He knew he would face people claiming to be his soulmate, which would cause drama and he wanted to avoid it all. He chose to get done with the concert and then think up a plan to meet him, it would be hard to do it but it was better than putting his real soulmate in the spotlight. Imagine all the hate. Not every fan was meant to be supportive. As the concert came to an end, he snapped some selfies and sent them to Leo as soon as he entered Jay's car. "That was crazy. Could you hear him?" Sunoo, who was still shocked after finding out about Jake's soulmate, turned to Jake and spoke.

Jake nodded but Jay had other plans. "No shit. The whole audience could." All Sunoo did was shake his head, expecting Jay to say something stupid. Ni-ki cackled which beckoned Sunoo to flick his forehead and the younger yelped in pain. Jake only laughed and then pulled his phone out to check Leo's response. But there was nothing. So he just shrugged and thought that he was probably busy or sleeping. As he looked out the window, Jake realized that as he stood in the sea of Heeseung's fans, maybe he didn't really stand a chance of meeting Heeseung and if he did, there would be lots of obstacles. Jake sighed as he only watched his friends bicker.
