chapter 4

"no problem! im always here of you wanna talk. by the way, you like jake, don't you?"

heeseung froze. sweat was trickling down from his forehead. how did she even find out? was it that obvious? he couldn't believe it. all these years, he tried his best to hide it, yet someone he barely knew, found out? 

"wh-what do you mean? i-i don't l-like him. he was just my b-best fr-friend". for some reason, he couldn't stop stuttering. he felt so embarrassed.

"heeseung, its ok! why are you so scared, its just a crush" jiwoo said. heeseung's blood started to boil. how could she just say that so easily? did she even know how hard it was to like someone? especially when they're a guy and your best friend. one wrong move and your gone. he ruined a friendship that would be remembered a million years.

"y-you ok? did i say something wrong? i'm sorry if i said someting i shouldn't have, i really didn't mean to". jiwoo noticed that heeseung suddenly became quiet. he looked like he was about to punch into a wall, or worse- her.

heeseung looked at her in confusion. usually, people wouldn't care about how he felt about something they did or said (except niki ofcourse) . they'd simply just ignore it like its nothing. but she was one of the first to actually think about how her words affected him. he this made him think that she's different. his anger quickly went away. unknowingly, he put on a smile on his face. he was really happy than someone other than niki and his maid actually understood him.

jiwoo looked at him, confused af. "what is this guy thinking? at first he looks embarrassed, then he's angry, and now he has a smile on his face. oh god, this guy is on a whole other level"  she thought. 

"thank you so much jiwoo. you are one the first to actually care for me. no one really cares about what i think, they just do whatever they want to" heeseung said. this surprised jiwoo a bit. she didn't really expect heeseung to thabk her. it felt nice. atleast someone for once was appreciating her efforts to help.

"you're welcome heeseung! anyways, we should get going. class is gonna start in two minutes!". both of them run towards their classes, both happy with the new friendship they had formed.

after heeseung's classes ended, him and niki went to a cafe to grab something to eat. they order their drinks & food and they go to find a corner to sit in. "yo niki, guess what" heeseung said, trying to control his excitement. "what?". 

"so i found out that jiwoo likes you bac-" "WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AIN'T NO WAY-" niki screamed, shocked asf. 

they got a few side eyes from other customers surrounding them, but they were just to excited to give a damn. niki simply couldn't believe it. his first crush, liked him back. he was overwhelming with joy.

"yes you idiot, she does. she literally freaked out when i told her." heeseung said, slightly chuckling. it was nice to see his friend's love was blooming; unlike his first love. it ended horribly. 

"b-but how? we don't even have anything in common. how did she like me in the first place? what if she's pranking me?" niki asked doubtfully. 

"don't worry, she isn't. and about the fact that you said that both of you are really different, just remember that opposites attract. she probably likes you because you're nice, smart and really hot" heeseung said. 

the sudden attack of compliments caught niki off guard. he just started to blush even more. "t-thats not t-true" he said, flustered.

then, their drinks and food came. the two immediately started to munch onto their food and forgot about their conversation.

"damn, the food here is hella good. we should come by here more often. plus, it looks like you have the opportunity to get a girlfriend. see that waitress there? she keeps on staring at you. looks like she has a little crush on you" niki said to heeseung, winking and nudging his shoulder. 

"i'll definitely come back here for the food, not the girl. she isn't really my type" heeseung replied. lies. he wasn't interested in anyone because he already had a certain someone on his head - jake.

"anyways, i have got to go bro. konon keeps on calling me home" niki says. "ok, see you soon. by the way, you wanna play on my ps5 tomorrow?" heeseung asked. 

"OFCOURSE i wanna play on your ps5 tomorrow!".  both of them go back to their respective homes.

heeseung then drives back home in his car. when he reaches, he notices two big mercedes. "great, another client came home today. guess i have to put on a fake ass smile again, how exciting" heeseung thought, annoyed as fuck. this was the THIRD client that came home this week. how many more times does he have to greet american white men in black suits?

"well, here goes nothing" heeseung says as the flings open the door. "heyy mum and dad, how was work-". heeseung stood dead on his tracks. there's no way that he his here. after ignoring him for so long, he's here, inside heeseung's house, laughing at a random show like he didn't break a certain someone's heart four years ago.

but then again, heeseung felt happy and excited seeing him. he thought so much about him, and he's finally here.

"long time no see, my ace".
