puppy eyes › 2jae

[ fifteen ]

The three of them reached the apartment in a matter of time and Jaebum hastily helped Jinyoung carry his bags through the door.

Youngjae meanwhile was skipping behind them, tugging at Jinyoung's arm, wanting to show him everything he'd been doing lately. "Hyung! Come on~" He squealed, pulling him away. Jinyoung dropped his bag, shooting Jaebum a look of apology before running after Youngjae.

Jaebum looked at them with a sigh and picked up Jinyoung's bags, taking them to Youngjae's room.

Just another reason why Jaebum felt annoyed.

He groaned and made his way back to the living room, stopping in his tracks when he heard Youngjae's voice.

"Jinyoung hyung, look! This is that drama and Jaebum hyung always watch. It's super cringy but it's so funny-" Youngjae babbled on, continuing to show Jinyoung an array of things.

Jaebum decides there's no point in him going back so he retreats to his bedroom, slumping onto the bed. His body felt heavy and drained at the same time.

He felt his phone buzz in his pocket and he quickly pulled it out, checking the message.

It was Jackson.

Not even replying to the text, Jaebum immediately goes for the call button and the other answers pretty quickly.

"Hey Jaebum. I-"

"What do I do Jackson?" Jaebum asks, frustrated at how he was feeling inside.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Jackson's worried voice gets louder through the phone.

"I don't know anymore." Jaebum answers.

"What's going on??"

"Jinyoung's back to visit for a few days. The moment he got here, Youngjae and him have been stuck together like glue. Heck, Youngjae didn't hold my hand- He didn't even sit in the front with me!"

On the other side of the line, Jackson listens with an amused smile.

"Right. So Youngjae's super happy about Jinyoung being back, so he's spending a lot of time with him and you're... Jealous?"

Jaebum froze at the word. "Jealous?"

"That's literally what you seem to be right now JB, don't even deny it."

"I'm not denying it, I've just never really.. Felt jealous over anything before."

You could almost hear Jackson roll his eyes over the phone.

"Of course you haven't."

That still didn't answer Jaebum's question though.

"What do I do?"

On the other side of the phone, Jackson pursed his lips, as if contemplating.

"It's no fun if I tell you is it?" Jackson laughs and then hangs up the phone.

"Hey—" Jaebum looks down at his screen and groans.

CALL HAS ENDED

He grabs his pillow and groans into it, rolling onto his side and curling his arms around it. Pretending it was the adorable boy he loves so much, as he drifts asleep.
