@jayaein_: pov: “how are things between you and jake?” your friend asked, and you couldn’t help but glance at jake, who was standing nearby with a drink in his hand. “nothing. we’re just friends,” you answered. your friend gave you a doubtful look. “just friends?” “yes. why?” “because he literally brought you here, spent the entire evening beside you, and has been looking for you every time you disappear.” you rolled your eyes. “he’s just being nice.” you knew there was something special between you and jake. something that went beyond ordinary friendship, but neither of you had ever been brave enough to give it a name. he remembered the smallest details about you, always saved you a seat, and somehow knew when you needed company. but there were no confessions, no promises, and certainly no label. so, technically, you were just friends. “whatever you say,” your friend teased before walking away. you turned around, only to find jake watching you. he raised his glass slightly, and you smiled before looking away. after a while, you were getting yourself another drink when a girl approached him. she was pretty, confident, and clearly interested. you watched her laugh at something jake said, then noticed how she moved closer to him. you didn’t wait to see what happened next. “i’ll be outside for a bit,” you told your friend before leaving the crowded room. the night air was cooler, and you leaned against the railing, trying to convince yourself that you had no reason to feel bothered. jake could talk to whoever he wanted. you weren’t his girlfriend. “there you are.” you turned and saw him approaching, holding your forgotten jacket. “you left this.” “thanks.” he handed it to you but didn’t leave. “why’d you disappear?” “i wanted some air.” “without telling me?” you raised an eyebrow. “do i have to report to you now?” “no. i just wanted to know where you were.” you looked away. “shouldn’t you be inside?” “why?” “your friend seemed nice.” jake tilted his head. “who?” “the girl you were talking to.” “oh.” you hated how casually he said it. “you can go back to her, you know.” he stared at you for a second before a small smile appeared. “is that what you want?” “i don’t care.” “you don’t look like you don’t care.” “jake.” “what?” “just go back to the girl.” he stepped closer, his expression turning serious. “i already told her i wasn’t interested.” you looked at him. “you did?” “yeah. i was actually trying to find you when she approached me.” “you didn’t have to turn her down because of me.” “i didn’t do it because i had to.” he paused, looking directly at you. “i did it because you’re my girl.” your heart skipped. “i’m not your girl, jake.” “not officially,” he admitted. “but that’s what i’ve been wanting to change.” you stared at him, suddenly unsure whether to laugh or ask him to repeat himself. “why didn’t you say anything before?” “because i wasn’t sure if you wanted the same thing. i didn’t want to risk making you uncomfortable or ruining what we already have.” you lowered your eyes, playing with the sleeve of your jacket. “you could’ve asked.” “so, i’m asking now.” he gently took your hand. “would you let me take you out? not as a friend. not as your usual partner in crime. just me, taking you on a proper date.” you tried to hide your smile. “and what if i say no?” “i’ll probably be embarrassed for the rest of my life.” you laughed, finally looking at him. “then i guess i won’t say no.” jake’s face brightened. “really?” “don’t make me repeat myself.” he squeezed your hand, grinning. “okay. but can i tell everyone inside that you’re my girl now?” “absolutely not.” “tomorrow?” “jake!” he laughed and pulled you into a hug. maybe you had been right all along. there was something special between you two. you just needed someone to finally say it out loud. #enhypen #enhypenpov #jake #jakeenhypen #fyp
