STFU PLS I HAD ENOUGH OF U ALR

-------

"so, how was the trip?" chenle nudged jay by his arm while holding a box of papers.

"great."

"that's it? you don't look like you had fun there," jay sighed at chenle's comment.

because i didn't. that was the worst trip that could happen. he's still stressed out because he hasn't heard a word from jake since they went back to seoul. not even a single text.

he hasn't seen the shadow of his best friend ever since heeseung broke his heart. he wants to go to jake's apartment just to check on him, but he knows that the guy wants some space too.

i just hope he's doing okay.

"hey chief! how was jeju?" chenle waved at sunghoon who just arrived inside the court. "jay here looks like he didn't enjoy your vacation."

he heard sunghoon's laugh echoing. "oh don't mind him, he just looks like that everyday. why don't you go help sunoo? don't just stand there and gossip."

"what's wrong with gossiping? it's my hobby." jay shakes his head and watched as chenle went to sunoo's side.

jay continued to arrange the chairs, trying to help as much as possible. sunghoon eyed him before going back to his work.

after a few minutes, jay sees heeseung walking inside the hall- his hair flowing with the wind like he's shooting a goddamn commercial. how annoying.

he fought the urge not to roll his eyes when he heard the girls behind him, giggling like teenagers while looking at heeseung. seriously, what do they even see in him?

"jay, please don't destroy the monobloc." yuna gives him an awkward smile before taking the chair away from him.

"huh?" jay frowned, looking confused now. "it's fine, i can do it-"

"nope, i'll take it from here." yuna points to the bleachers where sunoo is sitting. "sunoo will kill me if i don't let you rest. you've done enough help, thank you!"

jay didn't have a choice but walk back to the bleachers. sunoo waves at him, patting the empty seat beside him.

"thank you so much, jay." his roommate hands him a bottle of water. "here, i'll give you something to eat later."

"no worries, anything to help my baby." jay jokingly said, pinching sunoo's cheeks. he drinks the water while standing in front of the bleachers.

"here's the papers, sun."

jay coughs, almost choking on the water when he hears a voice behind him. he closed the bottle and puts it on the table.

"nice, thanks hyung." sunoo stood up, taking the box from heeseung. "you guys can sit here, i'll be back after a few minutes."

he nodded, and then sunoo left the two of them. he sniffs, coughing a bit. why does it feel kind of awkward? or is it just me?

jay stops coughing when he feels a hand patting his back. he looks around, seeing heeseung still standing behind him.

"...what are you doing?"

"i thought you were choking. did you swallow your own tongue or what?" heeseung snickered, walking past him and proceeding to sit on the bleachers.

jay rolled his eyes. "shut up." he sits too, putting a space right between them. "...did jake contact you?"

heeseung glanced at him. "no, he didn't. i figured out he won't be texting me after what happened..."

right. it's impossible that jake would even talk to him after that.

"is he alright?" heeseung asked, staring at him.

"y-yeah, he's uh... he said he wants to have some time alone."

"but you don't want him to be alone, right?"

jay didn't answer. i don't want my best friend to get hurt, heeseung. i want to be there for him but i know i won't be any help.

heeseung sighed as he saw the sadness on jay's face. "then you should go to him, don't hesitate." he pats jay's head before standing up.

"whatever your heart wants, go do it."

bff jongseongie 💕:
jake

jake:

-------

jake gets greeted by jay as he opened the door of his apartment- his best friend is holding a box of pizza and a plastic bag of beers.

seriously...

"why are you here? i thought you're busy helping with the freshmen orientation." he takes the food from him, putting it on the kitchen counter.

"it's difficult to function without you there." he hears jay mumble before getting inside.

"woah, what's with that statement?" jake lets out a laugh. "you miss your best friend, huh." he replied with a teasing tone.

jay only stares at him, before reaching his wrist and pulling him close- wrapping his arms around jake.

"yeah, i do miss you." jay whispered to him.

h-huh?

jake just ran out of words to say. he felt something drop from the pit of his stomach, and his heart started beating a bit fast. i probably just got startled.

"i know you can't live without me," jake tried to answer playfully while hugging him back. this hug feels so warm and nice.

he feels jay tighten his hold on him. "jake, you know that i'm here, right? you can cry to me. don't just pretend to be alright."

jake breathed deeply, his eyes suddenly felt heavy. he cried himself to sleep the night after heeseung rejected him. he cried while going back to seoul, and he cried last night too.

he cried until he felt empty, until he felt nothing.

he cried, hoping that it would wash away his feelings for heeseung.

but it didn't. it still hurts.

jay touched his head, running his hand on the strands of his hair. "you're best friend's here, you can rest on me."

jake closed his eyes as he felt the guy kiss the side of his head. thank you for being here, jay.
