pov: jay’s revenge was supposed to be simple—make you fall in love, leave, and walk away satisfied. that was the plan he carried for years. years ago, before either of you became part of each other’s lives, you accidentally ruined something important to him. you never meant to. you didn’t even know it happened. but for jay, it became a memory that stayed. during your last year of high school, jay finally gathered enough courage to confess to someone he liked. he spent weeks preparing, carrying around a letter he wrote over and over until it felt perfect. unfortunately, that letter never reached its destination. because of one misunderstanding. you found the letter by mistake. thinking it was a prank meant for someone else, you laughed about it with your friends. not in a cruel way. not because you wanted to hurt anyone. you simply didn’t know it belonged to jay. but jay heard. and he never forgot the embarrassment of watching the girl he liked laugh at words he spent weeks writing. after that, he left for another city. unfortunately for him, the moment he entered your life again, everything started going wrong. the first problem was that you didn’t even remember what happened years ago. the second problem was that you weren’t anything like the person he imagined. and the third problem? he started enjoying your company far too much. it began with small interactions at work. you had just joined the company and were still adjusting to everything when jay was assigned to help you with some projects. because he was one of the most reliable employees in the department, everyone trusted him to guide newcomers. meanwhile, you thought he was annoying. not because he was rude. because he was always around. “you’re doing it wrong.” you immediately looked up from your laptop. “good morning to you too.” jay pulled a chair beside you before pointing at the spreadsheet. “this formula.” “what about it?” “it’s wrong.” you narrowed your eyes. “then fix it.” “no.” “why?” “because you need to learn.” you stared at him. he stared back. eventually, you groaned dramatically and pushed the laptop toward him. jay laughed quietly. it was the first time he laughed around you. you didn’t notice, but he did. after that, things became easier. days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. and somehow, jay became part of your routine. every morning, you’d find coffee waiting on your desk. every lunch break, he’d somehow end up sitting across from you. every time you struggled with work, he’d appear before you even asked for help. at first, you thought he was simply being nice. then your friends started pointing things out. “he likes you.” you nearly choked on your drink. “absolutely not.” “he literally brought you food yesterday.” “he was being polite.” “he waited forty minutes after work because you weren’t done.” “that’s called being nice.” your friend only rolled her eyes. “if you say so.” meanwhile, jay sat alone at his desk wondering why he was doing things that weren’t part of the plan. revenge wasn’t supposed to involve buying your favorite snacks because you skipped breakfast. revenge wasn’t supposed to involve staying awake until two in the morning helping you finish a presentation. revenge definitely wasn’t supposed to involve staring at your messages and smiling like an idiot. yet there he was doing exactly that. one afternoon, you were eating together in the cafeteria when a coworker approached your table. “hey.” you looked up. “hi?” the man smiled nervously. “i was wondering if you’d like to get dinner sometime.” you blinked. jay nearly crushed his water bottle. the coworker continued smiling. you opened your mouth. before you could answer, jay suddenly stood up. “she’s busy.” both of you looked at him. the coworker frowned. “she can answer for herself.” jay immediately realized what he just did. and for the first time in years, he felt embarrassed. you stared at him. he stared back. then awkwardly sat down again. “right.” (comsec++) #enhypen #enhypenpov #jayenhypen #fyp #jay - @jayaein_
