_A Jakehoon Fiction_

26

Sunghoon's mind raced as he navigated through the crowd, his steps aimless and detached. The events of the day replayed like a chaotic slideshow in his head: the fight with Heeseung, the shattered bond, and his own conflicted emotions.

Sunghoon's thoughts were interrupted as he nearly collided with Sunoo.

Sunoo:
"Whoa, watch where you're going, dude." His sly grin widening as he recognized Sunghoon.

The sight of Sunoo ignited a flicker of anger within Sunghoon, adding to the whirlwind of emotions he was already grappling with.

Sunghoon:
"Out of my way, Sunoo."

Sunoo: "Woah..No need to be rude." His eyes glistening when he noticed the small cut on Sunghoon's cheek.
"Fresh cut." He smirked. "What? Had a fight or something?" Clearly mocking him.

Sunghoon's irritation flared, his grip clenched tightly in frustration.

Sunghoon:
"Shut it, Sunoo. You know nothing about what I'm going through."

Sunoo's teasing gaze persisted as he leaned closer, his voice dripping with mockery.

Sunoo:
"Oh, but I can guess. You look absolutely miserable tonight." His expression dripping with sarcasm

Sunoo smiles mischievously when he though something.
Sunoo: "I know something that can help~"

Sunghoon's eyes narrowed, suspicion mingling with his exhaustion.

Sunghoon:
"Let me guess, you have some sage advice or witty remark? Save it, Sunoo. I'm not in the mood."

Sunoo: "No~ You never see me as a real friend, do you?" Smirks "Come'on I am just trying to help and it's none of it what you think." His smile broadens. "The best thing for your situation is-" Holds a glass of alcohol in front him. "Chug it without thinking anything. All your pain will disappear~"

Sunghoon's gaze flickered between the glass and Sunoo. The temptation to drown his troubles was strong, yet he hesitated.

Sunghoon:
"You think alcohol is the solution?"

His voice carried a mix of skepticism and vulnerability. He knew he was on the brink of making a bad decision, yet the prospect of temporarily numbing his pain was a siren song he couldn't ignore.

But still, he knows Sunoo. This kid is nothing but trouble so he have to stop his urges anyway.

He knew better than to trust Sunoo, who seemed to derive pleasure from stirring up drama.

Sunghoon:
"No, Sunoo. I'm not falling for your games. I'd rather find a better way to deal with my problems than listen to your twisted advice."

Sunghoon pushed past Sunoo, refusing to let the devil on his shoulder win this time.

Sunoo yalls from behind. "Your loss!"

As Sunghoon distanced himself from Sunoo, he took a deep breath, trying to focus on finding a more constructive way to cope with his emotions. The last thing he needed right now was to make a foolish decision that would only lead to further complications. He hoped for a moment of clarity, a ray of hope in the tumultuous storm of his thoughts.

As he walked between the halls, a specific room caught his attention.

Sunghoon froze as his eyes landed on Jake and Heeseung inside the room. The sight hit him like a punch to the gut, his heart clenching painfully. Seeing them together, especially after their explosive fight, only fueled the ache within him.
