@jayaein_: pov: “if you could only see yourself in my eyes,” jay whispered under his breath. but you didn’t hear it properly. “what did you say?” you asked, confused. “nothing.” he immediately looked away. another day, another rant, and another conversation about his friend. unfortunately for jay, it was always about his friend. you had been crushing on jay’s friend for months now. jay knew it more than anyone because he was forced to hear about it almost every day. it wasn’t even intentional. you just naturally went to him whenever something happened. if his friend smiled at you in the hallway, you’d tell jay. if his friend sat near you during class, you’d tell jay. if his friend simply looked in your direction for half a second, you’d tell jay. and every single time, jay somehow listened. sometimes while rolling his eyes, pretending not to care. sometimes while looking like he regretted becoming your friend in the first place. “he looked at me today.” jay continued reading his book. “congratulations.” you ignored the sarcasm. “i think he’s warming up to me.” “he literally asked what time it was.” “it still counts.” jay sighed dramatically. “you deserve better.” you frowned. he said that often. whenever you talked about his friend. whenever you got excited over the smallest interaction. whenever you looked disappointed. always the same response. you deserve better. you never really understood what he meant. honestly, you never thought much about it because your attention was always somewhere else. or at least, you thought it was. days passed and your crush remained exactly the same—one-sided, distant, and hopeless. yet you refused to give up. which was why one afternoon you found yourself standing in the kitchen baking cookies. your friends insisted homemade gifts were sweet and memorable, and after nearly burning the first batch and ruining the second, you somehow managed to make something edible. you carefully packed the cookies into a small box, decorated it with a ribbon, and spent the entire morning gathering enough courage to finally hand it over. you found him after class standing near the building entrance. your heart immediately started racing. this was it. finally. taking a deep breath, you walked over and held out the box. “i made these.” for a second, hope filled your chest. he looked at the cookies, then at you. but instead of the reaction you’d imagined a hundred times, he simply smiled awkwardly. “oh.” your stomach dropped. “i can’t really take those.” the words were polite. but they still hurt. he didn’t ask what they were. didn’t open the box. didn’t even look interested. after months of hoping, it ended with a simple rejection and a brief apology before he walked away. you stood there frozen, trying very hard not to cry. unfortunately, someone saw everything. jay. of course it was jay. before you could even gather yourself together, a hand suddenly grabbed your wrist. you looked up and immediately met jay’s eyes. he didn’t say anything. he simply started walking. “jay—” “come on.” “where are we—” “just come.” for once, there wasn’t any teasing in his voice. so you followed him all the way to the rooftop. the moment the door closed behind you, everything finally hit at once. the embarrassment, the disappointment, the humiliation, and all the months you had spent hoping for something that clearly wasn’t going to happen. your eyes filled with tears before you could stop them. “i’m so stupid.” jay immediately shook his head. “no.” “yes, i am.” you laughed bitterly and wiped your eyes. “everyone probably thinks i’m pathetic.” “no one thinks that.” “he didn’t even want the cookies.” your voice cracked. for a moment, jay simply looked at you. then without a word, he stepped closer and wrapped his arms around you. you froze completely. because jay wasn’t the type to hug people. yet here he was, holding you carefully. like he was afraid you might break. “it’s okay.” his voice was softer than usual.
