Juyeon's face was hard and his muscles tense as he paced back and forth in the TV room. His index finger and thumb were pinching his chin as his other hand wrapped around his waist. So many worried thoughts going through his mind.

"What's up with you?" Kevin asked cooly, thumbs pressing away on his joystick (I feel wrong for using that word idkw - -) and eyes not trailing from the TV screen. Juyeon stopped for a moment before walking towards Kevin and standing in front of the TV screen. Kevin who was now disturbed from his Fortnite game stared up at the older man in frustration.

"They're late." Juyeon simply said but Kevin already knew who 'they' was.
"They are?"

"Yes. Sunwoo said they'd be back by nine. Look at the time!" Juyeon said, taking his phone out his pocket and shoving it into Kevin's face. Kevin squinted his eyes at the bright digits.

21:02 p.m

"Oh Juyeon," The brunette sighed shaking his head and in that exact moment the front door clicked and Juyeon sprinted away.

"You're back!" He praised once he saw both you and Sunwoo walking in. Juyeon happily wrapped his arms around you, taking you by surprise and knocking some air out of you. Sunwoo looked at you both with wide eyes but you smiled and just shrugged.

"Trouble..." Sunwoo stepped forward reaching out for you but your brother swung you away in his arms, making sure you were behind him.

"Get away from my baby sister you testicled predator!" Juyeon barked at Sunwoo making the young boy back away slowly and you face palm yourself out of embarrassment of your brother's actions.

"You take her away the whole day, don't even text then come back late!?" Your brother went on and Sunwoo, who's face was becoming almost as red as yours, put his hands up in defense.

"But we aren't late!"

"Oh yes you are. Two minutes and twenty-five seconds late to be precise," Your brother said, sticking his chin up in pride and you hid behind your hands.

Why is he embarrassing me?!

"So as punishment, you're doing the dishes tonight Romeo." He finished and you finally jumped in.
"What? That's stupid we-"

"Would you like to join him, Juliet?"

Juyeon said, his eyes expecting and Sunwoo's eyes begging. You scratched the back of your neck and laughed sheepishly before shaking your head. Juyeon smiled triumphant while Sunwoo's mouth fell open.

Is he actually surprised about your choice?

"But Juliet's supposed to die with Romeo!" He whinned as you turned to walk away, Juyeon in front. "You want me to die for your sin? Who am I? Jesus?" You waved off leaving Sunwoo shocked at your actions and clever pun.

Walking behind Juyeon made you wonder if everything was finally back to normal. Was he still mad? With the way he just acted, anyone would think otherwise. So you walked up to him to conclude how he was actually feeling.

"Hey JuJu! Wanna watch Modern Family with me?" You asked knowing very well that Modern Family was a show both you and him loved watching together.

"No."

That stung.

Maybe he just isn't in the mood for Modern Family?

"Okay Family guy? Or The Simpsons? Or maybe even Orphan Bla-"

"Actually, I just don't wanna watch anything with you right now." He said and walked away.

Now that HURT.

You sighed heavily, hating that you'd screwed up a relationship you had with the only person who understood you almost perfectly.

"Y/n?"

Your head snapped up to the soft voice calling you. Your eyes locked with Jacob's chocolate ones, his cheeks were tinted red and his hair slightly wet liked he'd come out of the shower. Which made sense since he smelt of shampo.

"You're back." He smiled making your heart race a little faster. It was a weird feeling and you tried to ignore it with all your might.

"Yeah." The only words you could let out. Jacob walked closer to you making you want to both run away and run into his chest in that moment.

"Did you have fun?" His smile now didn't reach his eyes and his words although meant to sound interested sounded more annoyed and sad. For some reason, discussing your date with Jacob made you feel uncomfortable and immensely guilty so you just answered something quick, that would hopefully kill the subject.

"It was okay." You scratched the back of your neck and bit your lower lip feeling nervous because of how the boy in front of you wouldn't waver his gaze.

The air was silent, you not knowing what to say and Jacob trying his hardest not to say anything stupid.

"Uh okay, I'm gonna go." You said before shuffling away. Jacob turned around and called out to you.

"Y/n wait!" He said and you turned around to look at him.

"Uh tonight, are we?" Jacob didn't need to finish the sentence because you already knew. Your little secret together.

"No." You shook your head and walked away. The boy gripped his shirt where he imagined his heart to be and bit his lip.

Why is it that now whenever you were around his heart felt like it would explode? Why now? And why him? Jacob wished he had a button to turn off everything he was starting to feel because he knew what it meant.

But it was better to not accept it.

"Sunwoo." The dirt-blonde said lowly. The younger boy slowly laid up the last plate in the dishwasher before standing straight and looking back at Jacob with cold eyes. The air was heavy between the two, heavy then it usually was. Heavy with secrets, with hurt and past events. Jacob looked at the boy and Sunwoo looked at Jacob.

"Why are you doing this?" Jacob asked, his voice dropped ten times lower.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Sunwoo's tone was daunting and Jacob swore he could see a little smirk playing at the edge of his lips. Sunwoo knew Jacob knew the reason for his actions. Almost everyone in the house did.

Everyone except you.

"Blackmailing Y/n to go out with you won't make her like you." Jacob growled lowly but the other latter stayed calm. He leaned back into the counter, hands in his pockets and head tilted to the side.

"And going out with her every night to do dumb shit won't make her like you." This time he did smirk, making Jacob's body heat up with anger.

"This is childish."

"Yeah well I don't care. If I didn't ask her out who would have? Definitely not you. You don't know how to face up to things. You run away from them. Remember?" Sunwoo asked, stepping forward.

"So you are doing to get back at me." Jacob more of concluded then asked, thinking he had the upper hand.

"Get back at you for what, Bae?" Sunwoo wanted him to answer. He wanted to at least hear him say it, but the room was silent. Jacob's hands tightened around the hem of his blue shirt.

"Whatever Sunwoo. Do what you think is best." Jacob walked out the room, leaving the ebony hair boy all by himself. Sunwoo slumped across the counter, anger and sadness washing through him at the same time.

The worst feeling.

A tear rolled down his nose, but he was quick to wipe it away. He had cried too much. He was sick of it. This plan was stupid, incredibly shallow but he didn't care. He had to do this. He had to make him feel what he felt.
