'Dongwoo'

"Hey, Jake." He smiled as Jake got up with tears in his eyes. "Dongwoo!" Before Jake could do anything he gave Jiwon to Sunghoon and ran up to Dongwoo and hugged him.

"Hey," Dongwoo smiled as he hugged Jake back. As they were hugging, Sunghoon got a bit jealous, so he looked away with a pout and patting Jiwon's back like a baby, so she can fall asleep again.

While Sunghoon was looking away, Jake started to sob with red eyes. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Jake choked out a sob, he hasn't seen his best friend in so long after what happened a year ago.

"I missed you, and I haven't seen you in a while and it's so hard seeing you after what happened."

Dongwoo chuckled as he calmed Jake by softly rubbing his back. Jake relaxed and stopped crying but had a tight grip on Dongwoo,

Jiwon managed to fall asleep. "Jake, shouldn't we go and find another adoption center for Jiwon?" Sunghoon questioned, bothered.

However, Jake didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay with Dongwoo, "You're looking for an adoption center?" Jake whined as Dongwoo pulled out of the hug.

Only to bring Jake into his arms, and stroke Jake's hair. Jake melted in the touch and smiled, "I know where another adoption center is, I could take you if you want?" Jake nodded.

Dongwoo smiled as he grabbed Jake's hand and started to walk away from Sunghoon.

Sunghoon followed since he knew Jake wasn't going to listen to him as he saw how Jake only had his attention to Dongwoo.

Jake stopped and looked back. "Hoonie, I forgot to introduce you." Jake apologized. "Hoonie, this is Dongwoo my best friend since kindergarten. Dongwoo, this is my fri-"

"Boyfriend." Sunghoon smiled as he cut off Jake. The other two boys were surprised by Sunghoon's response. "Fake boyfriend, he's my fake boyfriend." Jake corrected.

Now, Dongwoo was just confused. "So, real or fake?" Dongwoo asked as he looked at both of them.

"Fake."

"Real."

Jake looked at Sunghoon, stunned and confused while Sunghoon was looking away from Jake at how embarrassed he was. "We are a fake relationship, but at school, we are a 'real' one." Jake didn't want Sunghoon to confuse this situation more.

All Dongwoo did was nod, but he still didn't get why they were in a fake, but 'real' relationship.

"You don't mind me asking, why are you in a fake, but also 'real' relationship?"

Jake breathed in air before letting it out as he was about to explain everything to Dongwoo.

20 MINUTES LATER

After explaining everything, Dongwoo understood why Jake and Sunghoon were in this fake relationship.

"So all of this is to just get his girlfriend back?" Jake nodded, however, Dongwoo didn't like it. Girls beating Jake for Sunghoon was just wrong.

"But Jake you were beaten, do you want to go through what happened last year?" Jake sat there as he tried to stay calm. "I know what happened, but it's different this time."

Jake looked at Sunghoon, who had taken Jiwon to get her ice cream.

Dongwoo narrowed his eyes. "How is it different?!" Dongwoo was practically yelling now. "Sunghoon isn't who they say he is. He has broken girl's hearts, but I think he's different from all of them, especially from him."

Dongwoo sighed as he heard Jake's voice crack a bit. Jake fought back his tears, so he wouldn't break down. "You don't need to worry anymore, Jake. I know my brother hurt you mentally and physically, but I don't want you getting hurt again."

Jake giggled at how Dongwoo is so worried. "Don't worry, I'll be fine as long your brother isn't near me, I'll be perfect."

"Jake, umm, actually there's something I want to tell you." Dongwoo played his fingers as he looked down. Jake looked straight at him, confused. "Baby!" Sunghoon called out as he held on Jiwon's tiny hand, so she wouldn't run away.

Jake smiled as he got up from the bench. Sunghoon and Jiwon were coming from the ice cream shop, for waking up Jiwon as they gave it to her as an apology.

"Jiwon!" Instead of calling Sunghoon, Jake called out Jiwon, who smiled and ran up to Jake.

Jake picked her as he held her in his arms. "Ohh, hi Hoonie, didn't see you there," Jake smirked, secretly.

Sunghoon pouted as he crossed his arms, like a baby. Jake giggled, he found it cute how Sunghoon would get jealous of Jiwon.

She would get Jake's attention more, but how can you not? She is adorable, and the sweetest kid.

But for some reason, Jake felt his heart skip a beat as he saw how Sunghoon flipped his hair. It's been a feeling that he hasn't felt for a very long time. However, Jake decided to ignore it. It's probably a mistake, he swore to himself, he wouldn't fall for anyone.

"JAKE!" Jake was so in his thoughts, that he didn't notice Sunghoon was calling him and caught him staring at him.

"Ohh, sorry, what did you say?" Jake asked, acting like his eyes were on Jiwon the whole time. "It's getting dark, I think we should go home now and continue tomorrow," Sunghoon said, seeing how tired Jiwon was since she kept waking up and falling asleep over and over again.

Jake agreed as he saw how Jiwon started to slowly her eyes, but open them a second later.

"Grab Jiwon while I say goodbye to Dongwoo." Sunghoon grabbed JIwon and let her place her head on his shoulder. Jake walked towards Dongwoo as he smiled.

"Dongwoo, what were you going to tell me?" Dongwoo shook his head, "I forgot."

Once Dongwoo stopped talking, Jake started to tear up. "What's wrong?" Dongwoo cupped Jake's face as he wiped Jake's tears with his thumb. "I ju-just don't want y-you to go yet." Dongwoo chuckled. "You still have my number, right?" Jake nodded. "Then, I'll text you when I'm not busy, so we can hang out." Jake slowly stopped crying as he nodded and hugged Dongwoo.

"I'll see you later." Jake pulled out and walked away. As soon as Jake walked away, Dongwoo remembered what he was going to tell Jake.

"Jake, wait!" Jake turned around and stopped. "Yeah?" Dongwoo walked towards Jake but stopped when he realized how this is going to affect Jake.

"Umm, you haven't felt anyone watching you?" Jake shook his head. "Well, just be careful." Jake nodded. "Ok then, I have to go now." Jake turned around and walked back to Sunghoon.

'What am I going to do?'
