A day after Jake's visit , he decided to bring Jazmine home to meet his mom . Though he was sure that his mom won't accept her but he still want to try .. and Jake just hope nothing bad would happen on their first encounter .

" Love , would you like to go home with me after school ?I want you to meet my mom " He asked her unsure even though she keeps on asking him to bring her in his place before . Maybe now she'll refuse that she knows that his mom wasn't favor of their relationship .

She holds his hand then smiled at him sweetly . As if she was comforting him .. it was obvious that he was tensed .

" I would love to . But is it okay with your mom ? I mean , I know she hates me and I don't want to cause you trouble .. I know she'll scold you after . "

It's Jake's turn to smile at her now . He knows that she worries about him .. and it's too much for his heart to handle . He felt cared .

" It's okay love .. I'll introduce you to her later and I just hope that she'll eventually like you after your first meeting . You're not hard to like after all " he then pinched her cheeks , and smiled at her fondly

" But what if she'll get angry when she sees me ?"

This concerns Jake also as it was inevitable .. he knows his mom , but he just wanted her to meet his girlfriend .. in hopes that she'll change her mind .

" Aww , don't be afraid love .. I'll be there for you . We're together on this . I won't leave you so just don't worry too much " he said while cupping her cheeks and lean for a quick peck on her lips .

She just giggled at the actions of her boyfriend .. this just made her even more inlove with him . He's so sweet .

They exchanged i love yous and didn't even noticed that Jay and Sunoo was already in front of them , and staring at them with disgusted look .

Once Jake noticed them , he raised his eyebrows before asking ;

" Why are you both looking at us like that ?" He innocently asked , not being used by the same stares they get from the two almost everytime they display their affection with each other .

" Don't mind them love , they're just jealous " Jazmine told him then leaned her head on Jake's shoulder

" Ew , why would I be ? I never imagined myself being like that .. you're gross " Sunoo said while grimacing

The couple just laugh at him .. Not minding the insult he just gave them since they knew he was not serious .

" I would agree with Sunoo . Stop displaying your affection in public .. have some privacy please . And you're making me feel single everytime I'm with you " Jay stated and facepalms

" You're always agreeing on him Jay .. and also , it's just okay with us to be fruity in front of you . It's not even half of what we do in private " he smirked , then turned to look at Jazmine to tease her

Jazmine slapped him hard on his chest . Embarrassed at what he just said .

" Shut your mouth they don't have to know that .. that's too much information " she said in panic but they just giggled , feeling how tensed she was .

Jay and Sunoo just facepalms themselves . They're so done with the both of them .. like , actually done .

" Eyyy , look at that blush .. you're so cute~ should I make you blush harder later ?" He teased her

" Hey ! Stop embarrassing me . They might get the wrong idea . Stop teasing " she complained

" Don't worry Jaz , we're used to it .. you can continue because we're leaving . Come on Jay , let's just go to Heeseung " Sunoo said while rolling his eyes . He grabbed Jay's wrist and lead the way to the cafeteria's exit .

Jake and Jazmine just giggled at how Sunoo reacted . They thought he's adorable .

Jake's car was now parking at their parking lot . He gets out of the car then moved to the other side to open the door for jazmine . He was glad that she's now used to this gesture of him .

They went in the mansion and was greeted by some house helpers . Jazmine's eyes went wide once she saw the entire living room . She just can't believe that Jake is this rich .

Minutes after , they heard heels clanking against the floor . They made their eyes to look from where the sound is .

" Oh , you brought your bitch here son " she offensively stated , glaring at Jazmine from head to toe .. checking her appearance . 'hmmm , not that bad ' she thoughts

Jake gave her a glare . It pained his ears to hear the insults from her mother .

" Mom , don't call her like that , she's my girlfriend " he complained but it is as if his mom doesn't care . Well , she really doesn't care . She's irrelevant in her eyes .

Jazmine on the other hand doesn't seem to be bothered by it as she was still smiling at the lady . She then bowed and introduced herself

" Hi I'm Jazmine Choi .. nice to mee you ma'am "

The lady just raised an eyebrow .. she's not that impressed of her . She doesn't even reached her standards .. she's just pretty . Well , she had to admit that .

" Okay , let me tell you frankly .. I don't like you for my son . I had better plans for him before you showed up . And I don't want that his future would be messed up by you " she pointed at her . She almost step back from her place but Jake was there beside her and holds her hand .

" Mom ! " Jake shouted out of frustration .. he doesn't want to be disrespectful, but he had enough " stop saying those things to her . I don't care about your plans .. it's my own life and not yours so if you don't have anything good to say , well just leave " he added but Jazmine was tugging his wrist , stopping him from talking indifferently towards his mom . She doesn't want him to be disrespectful , she was his mom after all

His mom was taken aback .. her son just shouted at her . It was unusual . She felt disrespected

" Oh , now you're shouting at me ?? Is this what she thought you ? She's a bad influence to you .. you must break up with her" his mom replied with the amount of yell that he gave her earlier

Now , Jazmine felt offended .. she wasn't a bad influence . Also Jake felt that too .

" She's not a bad influence mom . As a matter of fact , she changed me to a better person "

His mom scoffs ,

" Is that what you call a better person ? The one who shouts at his own mother?"

Jake must admit that he was wrong with that .. he doesn't mean to , it was just because of his anger . It's too much for him that he bursted it on his mom .

" I'm sorry for yelling at you mom , but you had turn me into this .. and please don't insult Jazmine . She doesn't do anything wrong ."

Jazmine was guilty , being the reason of Jake and his mom's quarrel .

" Can you both just leave ? I don't want to see her face in front of me ." She sternly said

" Yes , we will leave . And don't expect me to go home later " Jake said while grabbing Jazmine's hand

They turned their heels from the lady and walked outside the mansion leaving his mom in anger . She just can't believe this is happening just because of that girl .

Jake and Jazmine drove away with his car . Wanting to escape the earlier scenario that they were in . And to calm themselves from the tension .

They arrived at the sea side .. they didn't expect that they would be there . And great timing because the sun was setting down .. it's a best scenery to let your mind and heart to calm down

" Love , I'm sorry .. " Jazmine started , feeling her eyes tear up

Jake glances at her confused why is she apologizing ..

" Why are you apologizing ? There's nothing to be sorry for " he calmly said , pulling her into a hug

" I'm sorry , I'm the reason why you fought .. we know that she hates me but we still pushed ourselves to her . I regret meeting her today .. I'm so sorry "

Jake wiped her tears and cupped her face .. he understands why is she reacting this way . He also doesn't want to disrespect his mom but it already happened .

" It's all okay love .. it is bound to happen anyways , you'll eventually meet . It is all me who decided to yell at her earlier because I already had enough .. I'll apologize to her when I get back . Just don't worry too much . And stop crying , oh my " he said as he ruffled her hair that was also waving because of the sea breeze .

" I feel I'm the one to blame with all of this love "

" No , you're not . And don't think like that .. "

" But if you just didn't chose me , you and your mom wasn't like this .. "

Jake was now thinking that the girl was having a doubt on their relationship .. but even if he wasn't with her , he would probably rebel . He doesn't want to be tied on the neck .. he has a life and he doesn't want his mom to ruin it just because of her desires . He actually doesn't like all those girls that she wished him to date .

" Are you now doubting about us ? " His tone slightly changed and she feels it that he's a bit mad .

" No , I was just saying -"

" What !? I love you Jaz , and I'm doing this for you .. I'm fighting for us " he was a bit mad actually but didn't mean to react like this

She was taken aback , she must admit that she's having other thoughts about what happened but she won't give up on their relationship , she won't give up on Jake .

" Calm down love .. there's nothing to be mad about . All I was saying is , I'm the cause of this since the beginning . And I don't want your family to be ruined because of me "

" But the way you say it is like you're dumping me . For my mom to go easy on me . You know , even if we're not together .. I won't still obey her . For I don't want to be a part of the future that she's saying . I don't even like those girl that she keeps on pushing on me . " He's still mad and his voice was getting louder as he continues to talk as if he was scolding her . Which she doesn't like at all .

" Jake if you're like that , I would really thought of leaving you " she simply said and slightly moving away from him .. but she meant leaving him for a moment , not breaking up with him

Jake's blood was boiling by her sudden reaction .. as if she really wanted them to separate .

" Fine ! Leave me .. it's that what you really wanted ? Then let's break up if that would make you sleep peacefully at night . Damn it !" He bursted out of fury .. he was really mad by their situation and grows anger towards her also . As he questions himself , why is she acting this way

She felt also mad because of what she heard . Why is it easy for him to say those words ? Does his feelings for her faded now ?

" Jake I don't know what you're talking about . You just act like that because you're mad . And for the record , it also makes me mad . Why are you thinking of breaking up ? It wouldn't solve our problem .. you're just making it worst " she was clearly not having any of it

She doesn't want to break up with him . After all that they've been through , now he's thinking of them separating ? What kind of mindset is that ?

" Now , you're saying I'm the one who's making it worst ? Come on , you started it ."

She was now annoyed at how he behaves .. so she decided to stand up

" I can't talk to you with that behavior Jake .. I'm leaving " she said and clutched her bag and start to walk away

" Alright , leave me .. and don't ever look back . I'm done with this . " He said furiously .. he was really mad that he didn't think of what he says .. he was just letting his anger take him away

And with that she felt hot tears streaming on her cheeks .. she can't hold it anymore as she was also angry at this moment . Aside from that , she's sad that he was acting this way . He was really serious on breaking up with her . She really doesn't thought of them breaking up , but as if fate is playing with them right now and this is happening .. they're testing them .

" Love .. " her voice cracks as she says those words .. the pain was obvious

But Jake refuses to look back at her as he was also crying secretly .. he don't have a plan on making things okay now , he just wants to be alone .

She felt hurt when he ignored her .. thinking that he really meant to say those words . She just decided to walk away as she sobs . Her heart was in real pain as if someone is crashing it into pieces . She doesn't like this feeling . She hated it .

Jake on the other hand was just restraining himself from looking at her .. the fact is , he's eager to run to her and hold her into his arms and kiss her so badly . But there's a feeling inside him that he can't understand .. his mind was also telling him to just stay there .

Once he looked back after minutes of crying , Jazmine was no longer there .. he started to panic , and run to his car that was parked meters away from the shoreline .

He's now regretting everything that he said .

He rushed on starting his car and started to look for her but he can't see her anywhere .. maybe she already took a cab and go home so he called her , hoping that she'll pick up but in no avail .

He hit the steering wheel of his car several times and bumping his head on it . As he cursed himself aggressively . Now , he hated himself .

" Why did I say that ?" He asked frustratedly

He really regrets it now that he realized what happened earlier . He must've hurt her badly .

Little did he know that Jazmine didn't leave the beach .. she's just hiding by inside the convenient store beside the road and she could see Jake from the distance .

She was streaming tears ..
