3. The Situationship

"Remember, if my brother or his annoying little pest of a friend ask..."

"We are working on a project together. Just hope they don't realize nobody gets projects on the first day." Jake laughed, leaning against the wall beside me, his blonde hair hanging loosely over one side of his face. "Your brother is nineteen now, right? Why can't you just tell him? You are roommates."

"He is still my little brother. I don't want him to know I am in this kind of relationship."

"Wow, you make it sound so dirty. Is that all I am to you? A play thing you hide from everyone?" He puts the back of his hand to his forehead and looks away, pretending to be upset.

"Oh please," I rolled my eyes, pulling out my keys.

"Sunghoon, hey." Jake said, straightening up as my asshole neighbor unlocks his door. Did it seem like he was on the same schedule as I was? Did he have a job, too? Most likely not. His parents probably paid for the nice apartment.

Sunghoon doesn't speak to Jake, just nods in his direction before disappearing into his room. Not even a glance in my direction.

"How do you know the Ice Prince?" I asked, confused as I watched Sunghoon disappear.

"From around." Jake shrugged. "He's been your neighbor for awhile. I have met him in the elevator a couple of times."

Rolling my eyes, I pushed the door open, gesturing for Jake to come in.

My brother and Riki are on the sofa, controllers in hand, playing some game that was louder than a BTS concert.

"You guys, turn it down! You know he's going to start complaining." I said as I sat down the box of cupcakes on the coffee table.

"Chill, he isn't even home." Taehun replied, craning his neck to see around me.

"He is now, we just ran into him." Jake informed them as he took a cupcake out of the box.

"Jake! Hey," Taehun greeted him cheerfully, even though I am the one that brought him cupcakes like he asked. "What are you doing here?"

"We have a project." He said as he has a seat next to Taehun. "Is this Ghost Wrath 5? I didn't think this was out until Christmas."

"Aunt Jennie got me a beta." Taehun said, still locked in on the screen. He had been playing it with other rich brats from around the world nonstop for weeks. "Riki, what are you doing? I am dying, get over here!"

"You have a project on the first day?" Riki was looking at me instead now, his controller in his lap. "What class?"

"Don't be nosey. It's none of your business." I glared at him, pointing for him to play the game. He looked at Jake and then back to me.

"Is he your boyfriend?"

"Again, not your business. Why are you here, Riki?"

It isn't like Riki and Jake hadn't met. Even last year when Taehun lived with Riki for his final year of high school, they spent a lot of time here.

"They are fuck buddies." Taehun said, and swatted at Riki's arm. "Can you please play or hand the controller to Jake?"

"Taehun!" I yelled, but nobody seemed to be paying attention. I had honestly thought I had kept my situationship with Jake underwraps pretty well. Apparently nothing gets by my little brother.

Riki tossed the controller to Jake, who gladly took it as if he forgot why he was here. He began jamming buttons and I sighed, shaking my head. I walked into the kitchen to grab some drinks for Jake and I when he finally remembered I exist.
