☆ dare to love ☆ | jakehoon FF

= III =

the next day, jake woke up feeling a bit uneasy. he couldn't shake off the idea of the dare. he got ready and headed out to meet his friends for breakfast.

"morning," jake said, sitting down at their usual table.

"morning!" sunoo chirped. "sleep well?"

"yeah, kinda," jake replied, picking at his food. "just thinking about yesterday."

"oh, the dare?" niki asked, smirking. "don't stress, dude. it's just a game."

"yeah, but it's weird, right?" jake said. "pretending to date someone?"

"just go with it," jungwon said. "maybe it'll be fun."

they finished eating and headed to their first class. as they walked, jake spotted sunghoon leaning against a wall, waiting for him.

"hey," sunghoon said, giving a small wave. "ready for class?"

"yeah," jake replied, joining him. "let's go."

they walked to class together, chatting about random things. jake found himself relaxing around sunghoon, enjoying their easy conversation.

"so, any plans after class?" sunghoon asked as they entered the lecture hall.

"not really," jake said. "probably just hang out with the kids"

"wait who?-" sunghoon asked, a bit confused. "oh i meant aunoo, jungwon and niki. they are kind of immature so i feel like im a mother of 3" jake explained, chuckling a bit.

"haha, thats cute" sunghoon said, smiling at jake. jake smiled back and started to blush so he looked away.

"a-anyways mind i join?" sunghoon asked.

"s-sure," jake said, feeling a bit more excited.

after class, jake and sunghoon met up with sunoo, jungwon, and niki at the student lounge. the group found a spot and settled in, chatting and joking around.

"what should we do?" sunoo asked.

"ooh!! wanna go to the rec center?" jungwon suggested. "there's a bunch of stuff to do there."

"let's go," jake said, eager to spend more time with sunghoon.

---

they headed to the rec center, where they found a variety of activities to choose from. they decided to play some basketball, splitting into teams. jake and sunghoon ended up on the same team, and they quickly found their rhythm.

"you're pretty, jake," sunghoon said, giving him a high-five.

"w-wai what?-" jake asked, confused and blushes a bit. "o-oh i meant, you're pretty good-" sunghoon explained as they both giggle in awkwardness.

"t-thanks," jake replied, grinning. "you're not bad yourself."

they played for a while, laughing and enjoying the friendly competition. jake was surprised at how well they worked together and felt a growing connection with sunghoon.

after the game, they grabbed some water and sat down to rest.

"that was fun," sunghoon said, wiping sweat from his forehead.

"yeah, we should do this more often," jake agreed. "it's a good way to unwind."

"definitely," sunghoon said, looking at jake with a smile. "i'm glad we got to hang out."

...

later that evening, jake and sunghoon found themselves walking back to their dorms together. the campus was quiet, and the cool evening air felt refreshing.

"today was really great," jake said, glancing at sunghoon. "thanks for hanging out."

"anytime," sunghoon replied. "i enjoyed it too."

they walked in comfortable silence for a bit, the sounds of their footsteps the only noise around them.

"so, jake," sunghoon began, breaking the silence. "about this dare... i know it's just for fun, but i want you to know i'm not taking it lightly."

"what do you mean?" jake asked, curious.

"i mean, i want to make sure you're okay with it," sunghoon said. "if you ever feel uncomfortable or want to stop, just let me know."

"thanks, sunghoon," jake said, appreciating the sincerity. "i'll let you know if anything changes. but for now, i'm good."

"good to hear," sunghoon said with a nod.

they reached jake's dorm, and sunghoon turned to face him.

"see you tomorrow?" sunghoon asked.

"definitely," jake replied with a smile.

"goodnight, jake," sunghoon said, giving a small wave before heading off.
