Love & Hate || Nishimura Riki ✓

acceptance

" You know what uncle , Shaira wouldn't accept my love for her . She rejected me and I don't think this forced marriage will work " Jake said to Jooyun

He is now at Min's residence to finally talk to Shaira's father . He was now losing hope on pursuing Shaira ..

" Don't give up yet Jake .. She'll eventually love you as the time passes by . You just have to stick to our plan " He firmly responded

Jake looked at the man who's lying on his bed . He wanted Shaira to be his but he doesn't want to force her . She will hate him for the rest of their lives if that happens . And he doesn't want that . Now that Shaira was angry at him because of what he hath done , he was sure she would be angrier if he'll force her to do this .

" I believe you can't force love uncle . And I had proven it in Shaira . She's still inlove with Ni-ki  .. I give up " Jake said lowering his head

" No ! You have to marry my daughter and that's final ." he sternly said as if he's the father of Jake that would just order him and he'll do it .. But Jake had enough of him and just wanted to go home

" I don't know if I could still do this .. I'll just go home for now " he said and leave the man even though he hasn't answered him . It's bothering him why is it Jooyun was so eager to let him marry Shaira even he knew that Jake had given up

As he opened the door , he saw Shaira leaning on it and almost fell .. Shaira's eyes widened when she saw Jake in front of her

" Shai .. " He said first .. he was sure the girl had heard everything

" What do you mean by force marriage Jake ? Are you both planning for us to be married ?" She asked Jake who can't find the answers to her questions . She shouldn't know about this

" umm .. Shai , I'm sorry but-" he said in a few stutters but cutted off by her slap .

" How dare you Jake .. You are my best friend yet you planned something you know I wouldn't like ? How insensitive are you ?" She scolded .. He felt hurt . Not because of the slap but because she just indirectly said that she didn't want to be with him .

" I'm so sorry Shai .. I had given up but your dad was still convincing me to do it " He honestly said

" I don't know if I could still trust you Jake after all you had done to me and Ni-ki . I thought you're an angel but I'm wrong .. "

" I'm really sorry if I had caused you pain , Shai .. I just love you so much that I had to do it " He tried to hold the girl's hand but she just moved it away from him

" You know Jake , if you really love me .. you should give my happiness and that happens when I'm with Ni-ki .. I don't know if that's really love or obsession but you have to stop " her words were like a knife stabbed in his heart. Sure he was hurt by it but he didn't want his feelings to control him once again . " And please stay out of my sight .. I'm still mad at you " She added

He doesn't want the girl to be angrier at him so he just went home lowering his shoulders and head like he was defeated .

You may wonder why he had given up this quick ?Well , Heeseung went to him the other day after their encounter ..

flashback

Heeseung was so bothered at Jake .. and he can't just stay still and let Jake be mad at them so he decided to go to his house to talk to him even though he's not sure if Jake would face him this time . He gathered all his guts to talk to his friend again .

As he was about to knock , he was surprised by Jake who opened the door .

" Jake.. " he said unsure on what to feel at the moment when he saw Jake's apologetic eyes
