he kissed me.

i can still feel the softness of his lips. fuck. jake closed his eyes, trying to get the image out of his head.

now, jake finally decided to avoid park sunghoon. how can he even have the guts to face him after what happened? he's been praying silently for the guy to have an amnesia and forget about everything that happened last night.

if he remembers, i swear to all physicists out there- i will bury myself six feet below the ground.

"jake?" he pulled out of his thoughts when his seatmate, sunoo, tapped his shoulder. "are you okay? do you have hangover?"

he shook his head. "just a little headache, but i'll be fine." he smiled, peeking at their lab report.

"you finished it already?" sunoo nodded, beaming a little. he looks so happy that it actually made his heart warm.

"you seem to be in a good mood lately. is ni-ki taking good care of you?"

his friend tried hard not to blush. "mhm... more than i could ask for." jake laughed and pinched his cheek.

"how about you?" sunoo turned to face him again. "is no one in there yet?" he pointed at his chest.

he got confused. "in my what? ribcage?"

sunoo rolled his eyes. "no, dumbass. i meant your heart. you don't like someone?"

an image of sunghoon popped on his mind again. oh shit no. not him.

"nah. besides, i don't have the time for that."

"why not? you can always make time if you really want to." sunoo went closer to him. "if there's someone that you like, tell me okay? i'll help you."

he just nodded, suddenly feeling a little bit sad. but he likes you, sunoo.

jake groaned as he felt his head throb again. he knocked on the clinic's door before opening it.

"good day, can i help you with anything?" the nurse seated at the couch smiled at him.

"uh, can i have some pain reliever for my headache?" jake asked.

the nurse stood up. "sure, let me just check it. you can wait and rest on the bed for a while."

he nodded. he walked towards the bed and sat down while examining the whole room. good thing there's no one here right now, it's peaceful.

he heard someone opened the door but he didn't bother looking and he just busied himself with his phone.

"i told you not to drink that much. who's fault is it again?"

"you asshole. you were the one who dragged me there because you wanted to drink. of course it's your fault!"

"yeah but you should've stopped yourself from drinking."

"dumbass we went to a bar! what do you want me to do there, play golf or meditate?"

oh please not again. i literally just prayed not to see him, but why? what did i do to deserve this please i don't wanna suffer embarrassment.

he was about to close the curtain to hide himself but heeseung already saw him. damn it.

"oh, jake? you have hangover too?" heeseung chuckled. sunghoon's just sitting on the couch, his eyes closed.

he smiled a little. "kind of. i think i need some sleep too." he shuffled awkwardly on his seat.

"okay, you should rest well," heeseung looked around. "i don't see your dwarf friend with you."

"you mean geonu?" he laughed. "he skipped classes today because of his mom."

"i bet his hangover is worse." heeseung added.

he was about to glance at sunghoon's direction when he saw the guy already staring at him.

fuck, why is he looking at me?

"sunghoon here can't even remember what happened last night. look at him," jake's eyes widened when he heard what heeseung said.

"he what?" he suddenly exclaimed.

"what?" sunghoon eyed him with confusion.

jake, you stupid fuck. he laughed. "nothing, haha. i remembered i still have some things to do." he stood up and grabbed his things. he has to leave before his mouth spills again.

"i'll go first, bye!" jake was about to open the door when sunghoon put his hand on the doorknob, preventing him from opening it.

"....uh, your hand-"

"you forgot this." sunghoon looked at him blankly while handing out the medicine.

he took it from his hand. "thanks." jake opened the door and hurriedly walked away, leaving the two inside the clinic.

+++++++++++

"what did just happen?" heeseung asked, looking confused. they just saw jake leaving like he's on a marathon, which is definitely weird.

sunghoon just shrugged. that boy always acts like that, so he isn't surprised anymore. he always seems like he's nervous around people. does he have social anxiety or something?

"wait, did you do something to him?" heeseung pointed at him.

"stop accusing me. i didn't do anything."

"but why does he look so scared? is it your face? i mean, you don't look pleasing to the eye-"

"i will remove your eyeballs from your skull."

heeseung made a face before speaking again. "but seriously though, what if you did something wrong to him last night? you said you can't remember."

sunghoon paused to think about the events that happened when he was drunk. he can remember bits of it, but he can't remember some details.

i was trying to forget about him, but i didn't even know that i got too drunk to remember last night. although i'm quite sure nothing happened.

but there was something....a dream?

"no. if i did something, i should've remembered it."

"but you can't because you drowned yourself in alcohol." heeseung faked a gasp. "did you throw up on jake's clothes?"

sunghoon looked at him with disbelief. "i did?"

"no, i'm just kidding. nothing happened i guess. i was the one who drove you back to your home and you were sleeping soundly that time." heeseung suppressed a smile and gave him a thumbs up as an assurance.

he sighed in relief. that's good then.

but somehow, why do i feel like i forgot to remember a big puzzle piece?
