jake groaned when the alarm snoozed off. he stayed at his parents' house because it's weekend and he missed his dog.

"where's mom?" he asked jaehyuk when he went downstairs.

"mom's on duty today, and dad's playing golf with his friends." jaehyuk took a bite of his sandwich. "do you want one?"

he sighed and shook his head. jake went to find his dog. layla's busy with her new toy that he just bought yesterday.

"layla, let's go visit your vet today." he fixed it's dog tag.

"you can't, it's closed on saturdays." his brother chimed in.

great. "well, do you know any vet clinic that's open?"

jaehyuk nodded and grinned. "of course. it's actually near your university," he took a business card inside his wallet. "here's the address. or do you want me to drive you there?"

jake shook his head. "no thanks, i can manage. if mom or dad looks for me, just tell them i went to the vet."

his brother nodded. "noted, boss."

"layla, behave okay?" jake reminded the dog for the ninth time before they went out of his car.

thankfully, the vet clinic's open and there are almost no customers inside. atleast jaehyuk finally did something right. he chuckled.

as he and his dog crossed the street, a familiar guy also went inside the clinic - holding his dog in his arms.

"are you excited layla?" he smiled and fixed the leash before opening the door. the soft scent of soap mixed with flowers welcomed him.

"good morning, can i get a-" he stopped speaking when he met park sunghoon's eyes. the guy is standing two feet away, just staring blankly at him. what an awful coincidence.

i take it back. my brother definitely did not do something right.

they looked at each other for a few seconds before jake avoided his gaze. should i just leave? fuck. he contemplates.

jake got startled when layla started barking at sunghoon's dog. he squatted down to calm her. "layla, behave."

"your dog looks like he doesn't like other dogs."

he couldn't help but to raise an eyebrow at sunghoon's statement. is he judging my dog?

"yeah. he's picky in terms of choosing his friends." he looked up to see his face.

sunghoon was about to speak again when the doctor called his name to bring his dog inside the room. when the guy went inside, jake finally let out a sigh of relief.

okay that's it, i'll just leave.

"layla, how about a stroll at the park instead? let's go," he gave the nurse a small smile before pushing the door to let his dog out.

jake only took a few steps before he felt someone grabbed his arm to stop him. let me leave in peace, i beg you.

"can we talk?" sunghoon asked. he gulped, suddenly feeling nervous.

"uh, maybe some other time? i have plans right n-"

"i'm sorry."

sunghoon's eyes were fixed on the ground.

oh. so he remembers.

and he's apologizing.

for some unknown reason, jake didn't like it.

"that night, i was drunk. i know it doesn't justify what i did, and i'm really sorry for that. that kiss was a mistake, please forget that it happened."

jake bit his lower lip. a mistake huh. it must've been such a horrible experience for him. asshole.

he nodded. "it's fine, i understand. it's not a big deal."

sunghoon smiled a little. "thanks."

after having second thoughts, jake asked a question before leaving. i want to hear it clearly from him.

"when you kissed me, was it because you thought i was sunoo?"

i need to hear the answer, so that i can stop myself.

sunghoon remained silent, but the silence was already enough for jake to understand. he knows it's sunoo. it's always been sunoo.

"i'm really sorry about it." he heard him mumble.

"stop apologizing, i get it already."

asshole who still hasn't moved on. he shook his head and turned to walk on the other side.

i hate him. and i hate that i still feel sorry for him. i hate myself.
