Chapter

I sat on my bed as I flipped the page in the book I was reading. The title of it was Penta Ent. and it was pretty interesting. It was your typical boss-employee trope, but I didn't mind it. I heard the door open then watched as Kevin had walked over to me then laid himself across my lap. Nothing was said between us as I stared at his still body.

"Jacob." Kevin said quietly.

"Yes?" I replied as I started to read again.

"You're still here?" I heard Changhyun say.

I looked towards the door and watched him pull Kevin off of me and onto the floor. He then took his spot and sat on my lap. I looked between them as I was positive sparks were flying between them. Suddenly Changhyun was being restrained by plants that wrapped themselves around the bed.

"What the fuck?" Changhyun spat out as I had moved to calm Kevin down.

"Kevin, stop... Hyun didn't mean it, right?" I said and emphasized the latter part.

"Yeah, yeah. I was just messing around." Changhyun said weakly.

I watched as the plants withered away and disappeared. Changhyun sat up and looked at the both of us.

"Jake, what's going on?" he asked after a long period of silence.

I looked at Kevin to see if he was okay with Changhyun knowing what he was. He gave me a small smile and a very discreet nod.

"Kevin's a fairy." I said straightforwardly.

"You're joking." he said flatly.

I looked at Kevin who in turn drew a line around my head and small flowers bloomed on my hair, creating a flower crown look. We looked at Changhyun who seemed in awe of everything. I could tell he was experiencing a mix of emotions as his expression constantly changed. His flurry of emotions came to an end and he then crossed his arms.

"So, why is a fairy looking for a human?" he asked with a serious look.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe he misses him?" I said sarcastically.

"Don't you think it's strange for a supernatural being like him to be searching for a human? It's obvious he has ill intentions." Changhyun spat as he looked at Kevin. "You saw how he restrained me to the bed."

"He only did that because you acted out first!" I argued as Changhyun was starting to be ridiculous again.

"I wouldn't have if he'd just butt out of our lives! No one likes a third wheel." he shot back in anger.

"What the hell do you mean third wheel? Since when was not allowing others into our lives a thing?" I shouted as I was pretty pissed at this point.

Changhyun rose from his spot on the bed and held me by my shoulders.

"Don't you get it, Jacob? Are you really that unfeeling?" he said in a low voice.

His eyes glistened as if they would cry at any given moment. I didn't understand what he was getting at.

"Just be direct with me, Hyun." I said softly while searching his face.

"I love you man." Changhyun replied in almost a whisper.

I looked at him in surprise at his confession. His hands gripped me tighter as he looked into my eyes with genuineness.

"Hyun..." I said. I looked at Kevin who was looking at me. Was he waiting for an answer too? Did my answer matter to Kevin? I knew exactly how I felt about Changhyun, but was I okay with it all? "Hyun, I..."

"Kevin, can't you see we're having a moment? Scram." he spat as he nudged Kevin.

I hit him. The sound of a slap continued to ring in my ears as I stared at Changhyun holding his cheek. Why did I hit him? No, I knew why. I was tired of him excluding Kevin from our outings. I was tired of him looking down on Kevin. I was tired of him treating Kevin like crap. I was tired of Changhyun.

"Don't you dare talk to Kevin in such a disgusting tone ever again or so god help you." I said sharply before grabbing Kevin's hand and storming out of the apartment.

I sat with my knees to my chest as we sat side by side on the sand. I didn't know why I always came to the beach whenever I was feeling down or upset. Maybe it was something habitual from my younger days. I felt something touch my hand and saw Kevin had held my hand. I returned the gesture then turned my attention back to the sea.

"Jacob?" Kevin called out softly.

"Yes?" I responded.

"You heart Changhyun?" he asked.

Tears stung my eyes as I thought of the answer present in my mind.

"I do... I really do. It's been so hard lately... Things just aren't the same between us anymore..." I said as I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand.

I looked at Kevin whose hair was moved by the wind. His attention was out to the sea and the scene made him seem perfect. I took a mental picture and started to engrave it in my mind. Kevin turned and looked at me with his usual soft dark orbs and faint curved smile. My heart skipped beats. It was the same feeling I used to get whenever Changhyun appeared in my line of sight.

My cheeks burned as we continued to stare at each other wordlessly. The things I used to feel around Changhyun are now being felt around Kevin. If I wasn't convinced before, I had to be now. I liked men. It wasn't just a one time deal. I touched Kevin's cheek with my hand covered in sand and admired the beauty before me. I wanted to be the Jacob he held so dear to his heart.

"Jacob..." he said and mimicked me.

I leaned forward slowly and heard my heart pounding loudly in my ears. I was going for it. I stopped inches away from his face as I had just noticed his change in expression. It wasn't one of delight. I quickly pulled away and ran down the beach. Everything was changing and starting to confuse me. I didn't understand anything anymore.
