@jayaein_: pov: you always admire jay for being smart. you had been dating him for a year now, but you still wonder how someone like him ended up choosing you. it wasn’t because jay ever made you feel less. actually, it was the complete opposite. jay was the smartest person you knew. yet despite all of that, he never acted superior. never once. if anything, jay seemed genuinely confused whenever you doubted yourself. which happened more often than you’d like to admit. one afternoon, the two of you were sitting beneath a tree near the university library. you were working on an assignment while jay reviewed notes for an upcoming exam. after staring at your paper for several minutes, you suddenly sighed. jay looked up immediately. “what?” you rested your chin on your hand. “nothing.” “that’s usually a lie.” you frowned. “i still don’t understand how i managed to pull you.” jay stared, then blinked. “…again?” you pointed at him dramatically. “look at you.” “what about me?” “you’re smart.” jay nodded. “okay.” “and handsome.” “thank you.” “and everybody likes you.” “that’s debatable.” you narrowed your eyes. “jay.” “what?” “be serious.” he laughed softly before setting his pen down. “i am serious.” you groaned. because somehow he genuinely didn’t understand. jay leaned back against the tree and studied you for a moment. then he reached over and flicked your forehead. you immediately complained. “ow!” “you’re smart too.” you rubbed your forehead. “that’s not the point.” “it is.” “jay.” “you think i like you because you’re competing against everyone else.” his voice softened. “i don’t.” for a moment, he simply looked at you. the kind of look that always made your heart feel strange. “i like you because you’re you.” you immediately looked away. mostly because he said things like that far too casually.. still, despite his constant reassurance, the insecurities never disappeared completely. especially because you weren’t blind. you knew how many girls liked him. you saw it every day. girls finding excuses to talk to him after class, girls asking for help even when they clearly didn’t need it, and girls staring whenever he walked past. it didn’t usually bother you. until one afternoon, classes had just ended when you noticed a girl approaching jay near the hallway. she was pretty. confident too. you weren’t trying to eavesdrop. you really weren’t. but her voice carried. “jay.” he looked up politely. “yeah?” she smiled. a little too brightly. “i’ve been struggling in economics lately.” jay nodded. “okay.” “i was wondering if maybe…” she tucked her hair behind her ear. “…you could tutor me sometime?” you immediately knew. that wasn’t about economics. not even a little. jay seemed oblivious. or maybe he wasn’t. you honestly couldn’t tell. either way, you suddenly lost interest in standing there. with a sigh, you adjusted your bag and walked away before hearing the rest. you told yourself it didn’t matter. unfortunately—you were a terrible liar. the next day, your mood hadn’t improved. which was why when jay casually dropped into the seat beside you before class, you barely looked at him. he immediately noticed. “good morning.” “morning.” jay blinked. “…why do you sound like you’re preparing to declare war?” you continued writing. “i’m fine.” “that’s definitely not true.” you sighed dramatically. “how’s your tutoring session?” silence. then—jay laughed. you slowly looked up. “what’s funny?” “you.” “excuse me?” he looked far too entertained. which only made you more annoyed. “jay.” “you’re jealous.” “i am not.” “you are.” “i’m literally not.” “you are.” he insisted. “jay.” he looked completely pleased with himself. which should’ve been illegal. finally, after letting you suffer for another minute, he leaned closer. “i accepted.” your stomach dropped. “oh.” “and she agreed.” your expression immediately fell which only made him laugh again. then he added— “but you’re the one tutoring her.” you froze. “…what?” “you’re teaching.” you stared. he stared back, completely serious.
