^^ jaebum at this situation

---

jaebum blinked rapidly.

did he hear that correctly ?

"wait... what ?" jaebum asked in confirmation as youngjae rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. man, jaebum really thought he finally had a chance.. now the guy who really liked him, is over him.

"well.. i really did like you, but i felt like this day would never come.. i was texting yugyeom about it last night.. and then he asked me out. i said yes, and were supposed to go out on a date later today."

jaebum continued to blink confused.

he was- confused ? conflicted ? triggered ? salty ? probably all.

"oh" was all he said as the elder now felt very awkward for have kissing youngjae. jaebum cleared his throat as he then stood up, youngjaes eyes looking up at the other as jaebums awkward smile twitched.

"well ill just get going now.. i hope you enjoy your date with yugyeom." jaebum then bowed, youngjae smiling back just as awkward as he got up to walk jaebum out, jaebum the opening the door as yugyeom stopped his hand from knocking as he saw the door open.

"oh, hi jaebum hyung" yugyeom smiled awkwardly as well as the other two, the awkward silence was so deadly a pin could be heard from 10 miles away. jaebum then cleared his throat as he chuckled and forced a smile at the both.

"wow would you look at that a bird ! im just going to.. follow it.. goodbye !" jaebum then walked passed yugyeom and began running, yugyeom looking back at the elder running and youngjae raising an eyebrow as jaebum ran.

"did i interrupt anything or ?-" 

youngjae shook his head as he chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, yugyeom then handed youngjae a small bouquet of flowers as youngjae smiled and took them, touching the soft petals as he smiled.

"theyre beautiful, thank you" youngjae smiled happily as yugyeom chuckled, his wide smile still on his face as his hands were in his pocket, youngjae letting the other in first as he put the flowers in a vase before they left for their date.

jaebum was sitting on the bus, his headphones in as he was scrolling through his little leagues account on instagram, smiling as he looked at the group photos then getting a text from jackson.

jacksin orange chicken wang;; [yikes, yj just texted me about what happened at his house.. you okay ?]

[yes]

jacksin orange chicken wang;; [how enthusiastic!!1!1111!! xDDD ]

jacksin orange chicken wang;; [boy oh boy how cringe worthy was that. but seriously, you alright with youngjae getting over you ?]

[idk. he said he talked to yugyeom about it last night about it, i wish i knew something before making a bad move.]

jacksin orange chicken wang;; [shIT YOU kisSED HIM dIDNT YOU ?!??@@!>#?23213]

[you fuck]

jacksin orange chicken wang;; [only bam ;)))))))]

[actually kys, kys irl, drink bleach rn]

jacksin orange chicken wang;; [gladly !1!122!2! come over, we'll talk about this irl my dude]

jaebum sighed as he clicked off his phone, turning the music up as he continued to enjoy the bus ride, and for the first time, jaebum felt his heart hurt. granted, the first time he met youngjae he didnt give a shit about the other, but as they grew closer, so did his heart. the demiromantic boy regretted not doing something sooner, he really did regret it. he didnt realize what an angel he had just lost in his life, and he didnt know if he could get him back.

jaebum soon arrived at his stop, getting out as he walked down the street with his hood up and music turned up high, shoving his hands in his pocket as he walked to jacksons house. looking at the other side of the street, he saw youngjae and yugyeom holding hands and ice cream.

youngjae was laughing and had a huge smile on his face, as well as yugyeom. yugyeom could probably make youngjae happier then jaebum ever thought he could.. but how he wished he was the one holding youngjaes hand, how he was the one spoiling youngjae with gifts and food.. how he was the one in general who wanted to be with youngjae.

jaebum felt a tap on his shoulder as he turned around, seeing an annoyed mother pushing a stroller as he apologized and moved to the side. jaebum continued to make his way to his friends house, finally arriving as he walked up to the door and rang the doorbell.

it took a few minutes, but jackson finally answered the door, kunpimook on his back as jackson was giving him a piggy back ride as jaebum chuckled at the sight.

"clingy shit wouldnt let go"

"hey shut up !" kunpimook then hit the top of jacksons head as the three laughed, jackson smiling at jaebum as he let the other in, then closing the door behind them.

<flashback to the night before>

youngjae laid on his bed, slightly hanging off the edge as he was looking upside down at the wall, texting yugyeom about his jaebum issues.

yuggie;; [have you really gotten over him ? you really liked him youngjae, what made you change your mind ?"

[ive come to realization that me and jaebum maybe wont ever be together, considering the way his is and his attitude, i think its best we stay friends.]

yuggie;; [well then.. i dont know if this is a good time to ask.. but would you like to go out tomorrow ? ive liked you for sometime now, jae.."

youngjae widened his eyes at the message, his face heating up as he sat upright. yugyeom had just asked him out, and he was actually excited about this. but at the same time, his feelings for jaebum were still barley there, but he knew nothing more could happen with the two.

if only youngjae could see the future.

[yes, :) i would love to go out with you]
