pov: you don't believe in love anymore because of your past relationship, not until you met jake, who made you feel like it's worth the risk to fall in love again if it's with him. you two met like a typical story straight out of a romance novel. he moved in from your neighborhood next door. at first, you didn't care who the man next door was until he constantly knocked on your door, bringing you food that he personally cooked. his reason was that he was a good cook, and he wanted to share his passion to his neighbor. he is indeed a good cook, and you didn't even realize that you found yourself waiting for him and his delicious meals. you two became close because you exchanged his kind gestures by inviting him for dinner and cooking for him. you told him that you wanted to learn from him, so your bond became stronger with each shared meal. cooking together became your favorite routine, a way to connect beyond small talk. jake had a way of making you feel seen. his easy smile and genuine compliments chipped away at the walls you had built. he listened intently, making you feel like your thoughts mattered. with each passing week, you found yourself sharing stories from your past, both the painful and the joyful, while he reciprocated with tales of his own life, revealing his dreams and fears. jake told you that he had never been in a relationship, and you wondered why, because he's actually perfect. he is a nice man with a great sense of humor—like everyone's ideal. whenever you thought about that, you knew to yourself that you were getting drawn to him. your bond with each other became deeper, and that's what made you believe that you two were getting into something real. you could feel that he felt the same by the way he treated you, and you were excited about where it would lead both of you. these past few days, you've been receiving calls and messages from your ex-boyfriend, asking you to get back together. you ignored it at first, but he wouldn't stop. he said that he'd just stop if you met up with him and made it clear to him that you don't love him anymore. you told jake about it, and he told you that you shouldn't. but you thought that it was the only way to put an end to his persistence. so you did. you met up with your ex and told him that you didn't love him anymore. you even told him that you loved someone else now, and it's jake. after that, you immediately went to jake's house to tell him everything, but he wasn't at home. undeterred, you let yourself in, excitement bubbling inside you. you decided to cook jake's favorite meal, hoping to surprise him when he returned. as you chopped and sautéed, the aroma filled the kitchen, and with each stir, your anticipation grew. finally, you heard the sound of the key turning in the lock. when jake stepped inside, his eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the delicious spread before him. but then you noticed an unusual expression on his face, a mix of curiosity and concern. “hey! welcome home!” you exclaimed, trying to read his mood. “what happened? did you two get back together?” he asked, his voice laced with uncertainty. you walked over to him, feeling a rush of warmth. “is that what you think?” he hesitated, his gaze searching yours. “well, you loved him, so…” you couldn't help but smile slightly and stepped closer. "wait, are you jealous?" he looked away from you. taking a deep breath, you stepped closer, your heart racing. “jake, i did meet him, and i told him it’s over." this time, he met your eyes, waiting for you to continue. "i made it clear that i don’t love him anymore. i love someone else now.” "who?" he whispered. you smiled at his innocence and reached for his hands. "of course, you!" his expression shifted, surprise giving way to hope. “you really mean that?” “yes,” you said, your voice steady.
