Chap.8:Can You Two be Friends?

"Look,Hoon,I am sorry,I didn't mean it.
It just the timing wasn't good. I ..I was fighting my fe-You were fighting against the thought of falling in love with Heeseung hyung. Yeah, I clearly remembered now.Ah~ anyways.. let's go to yours as your one is more important than mine." Sunghoon chuckled a bit after seeing his brother trying act cool and calm about the sudden mention of his situationship back then."No,really!" Jay tries again to clarify his act after seeing a smug smile of Sunghoon's fac."Please!" He pleaded
" Yours one is really more important than mine for now, and I am here to hear & help ."Jay convinced Sunghoon.
Sunghoon became tensed again" Ah-ah, but I still found him!Do you think 9he will accept or still have the feelings he had.The feelings we shared.Hoonie, I really wanna consult you but to tell you the truth,what did you knew about love at that age? No, when you two were in just the age to play doll marriage?" Sunghoon went silent after hearing Jay's question.Jay bit his tongue." I am Hoon-ah,please don't turn back just.. just release whatever you have inside of you.I will try to help you, really, I promise."Sunghoon hesitated to tell him again, but Jay gave him the sincerest eyes.Which Sunghoon gave up into.Sunghoon breathes three times and cleared his throat
{ It will be okay, Park Sunghoon}

And begin to tell Jay what happened.
" So while checking the sketch book of the new worker,I saw the sketches of our memories...Jongseong-ah!" Sunghoon said hopelessly, but Jay is not understanding why is Sunghoon acting like this." Isn't....isn't what you wanted, Hoon-ah? Why are you....are you..[ Jay didn't know how to word it out] I Did" Sunghoon yelled out exhaustedly." But now that I finally found him after 13 years, I can't...I just can't face him.What if he doesn't believe me or worse,doesn't believe me at all?" Sunghoon leans more on Jay's shoulders while Jay just kept on patting his back.''We will see what happens when it happen.But I will be their with you,no matter what!"

" Konon, so you just came here late at night just to ask if you can work at the café I work in? Why, what's wrong with it ? I mean, you could have just say it to me tomorrow! Mom~... Oh ".Both of them went silent for a while.Before Jake broke the silence between them.''Ehm...
mmh..what will you do ? Will you stay overnight? Why are you so excited to kick me out? No, that's not.. I just have  to make an extra packet of ramyeon.Ah just make it then.I swear I won't do anything weird while you sleep," Konon said jokingly.Jake sighed while noding his head." I was not thinking about this, but thank you for the reminder," Jake scoffed and turned to go to the kitchen," but now I need to be extra careful." Konon burst out in laughter after hearing Jake.

Jake and Konon both were sitting on the floor of Jake's apartments with two bowls of ramyeons in their hands."So Jake, it feels like you want to say something to me!" Konon said with face full with ramyeon." What!! Why do you keep on glancing at my direction? Ah..uh" Jake was caught off guard.He remembered the incident from the afternoon at the café.But he decided not to tell her about it as he didn't cause her more stress." Well, I was just thinking if I should take you to my work place tomorrow with me!" Konon teasingly slapped his thigh." Awhhh! What was that!? Why did you said that out of the blue!!? I guessed it,as you were so impatient for the job, so to introduce you would be the best. Hahaa..funny!!.Yeah
But let's go sleep after this bowl ends.Okay!~bet."

The next day at work, Jake was super nervous,The atmosphere was more quieter than usual.Eventhough the customers were more than the previous day , something was still off.He got informed, of that K was way too disappointed at Taki that he grounded so Taki wasn't able to come to work today and Sunoo got scolded so much that he didn't come to work.Which made Jake heart broken.Jungwon as their still but the boy didn't talk to him or made eye contact with him either.Which was weird as Jungwon would be the first one to greet Jake everyday at work.
                 [ Get over it, Sim Jaeyun! He is just busy as there's more customer than usual.Yes, that's all.]

As Jake was consoling himself, he felt like someone was staring at his direction.He looked the direction where the string felt like it was from when he saw the person who was staring at him.
The second grandson of the café shop owner,Park Sunghoon.The person Jake was able to meet only a few.Does he not have university to attend?Jake thought.
Jake and the person both realized that they were staring at each other, holding an eye contact, which cause them to break away from the eye-contact.But the other one kept on glancing at Jake secretly, being careful not to be caught by the other one again.

Jay just scoffed after witnessing his brother's remarks from afar.Jay slapped his forehead and went to his brother.
Sunghoon fely, someone elbowing, he looked up with frowned." Smh, what is it,now Jongseong? Come on!!" Jay pulled Sunghoon up from his position. "What are you doing?" Sunghoon exclaimed." Let's go"!And like this, Jay dragged his brother with him.

Jake was focused when he heard some noises.He looked to see what caused the noise when he saw Jay with his brother,(*grinning ear to ear*)
" Oh!Hi,Mr. Jay.How was your morning? Fine and yours?Well, it was usual.I- I want to talk to you about something
Mr. Jay ,can you give me some of your time after work?''Sunghoon became more stiff now being in front of Jake, and Jay's grip loosened a bit on Sunghoon's arm." Ah..uh yeah! But have you met my brother already?'' Jay nervously asked.When Sunghoon whispered underneath,"Jongseong,you idiot!he knows me! Oh!..oh!'' Jay looked at apologitecly. "Sorry Jake,I meant..." Jay went silent for a while before completing.''Can you two Jake and Sunghoon be friends with each other?"
Jay asked, causing both his brother and Jake to look at him with wide eyes.
