𝗟𝗘𝗘 𝗛𝗘𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗨𝗡𝗚
lee heeseung swears he's never found anyone or as a matter of fact, anything as annoying as you. you're like a roach up his ass, the bane of his existence. yet when he looks at your cherry stained lips as you crash into him outside the club— he can't deny: that the idea of them against his own doesn't seem half as bad. probably the alcohol, heeseung convinces himself.
"if you don't get off and at least a hundred feet away from me right now, i swea—" and your lips crash into his. intentionally, to get under his skin? accidentally, because of the shots? who cares! heeseung can literally feel the breath leave his lungs as you move your lips against his.
but you pull away before he can do anything,"shut up jer—" and it irks him for some god forbid reason, alcohol again? oh fuck the alcohol! imma kiss that attitude outta her. not even a fraction of second passes before heeseung is grabbing your jaw and pulling you back into a kiss.
you want to breathe? forget it. lee heeseung is not having it anymore. a chance to put you in your place, he's not letting it slip through his fingers. he does not want to.
"you shut up." the tendencies of an enemy with his deepest desires unknown to him; kissable lips on an enemy is the most sinful and irresistible thing ever. probably why you annoyed him.
𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗝𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗦𝗘𝗢𝗡𝗚
jay's thighs feel warm against your own as you sit still on his lap, his legs shaking subtly while he rambles about some clothes. the tiny smear of vanilla ice cream near the corner of his lower lip, bothering you more and more with the seconds ticking by.
"and then i had to get the pants exchang—" you don't even realize it yourself when you lean in to capture his lips and lick at the sweetness. his own words dying down as he stares down at your face, completely dumbstruck. come on, that's your girlfriend idiot! kiss back! it's probably the twelfth time you both have kissed since you got together three months ago; it's not like he's keeping track of the kisses but... yeah you make him too nervous so, he is.
"b-baby..?" your hands cup his cheeks and he shuts down again. ears burning hot, and lips parted to let you do what you want. if there's one thing jay can't help, it's letting you have your way. whenever, wherever.
it takes him approximately ten seconds to overcome that nervousness and respond to the kiss. mouth closing in on your chocolate flavored lips in a soft and gentle smooch. after smooch. after smooch. the tendencies of a new boyfriend still reeling in; having the girlfriend of your dreams is not something you can get used to just like that.
𝗦𝗜𝗠 𝗝𝗔𝗘𝗬𝗨𝗡
jake has been hanging out and around you for months now. it should have gotten easier by this time, he thinks. but no, every look, every conversation, every subtle touch feels like it burns hotter than the last time. are these the side effects of a crush? of getting closer to them? or of behaving normally after accidentally pecking? jake checks all the boxes.
"yeah so it's supposed to go like this. did you get i—" jake looks up from the project files on the desk, his voice and his life dropping down to his ass at the touch of your lips on his. what the hell is happening? are you actually? is he dreaming? jake cannot decide on what he should think. kiss back obviously! what's more to think?!
the kiss is short and sweet, and it doesn't satisfy him. hand immediately grabbing your throat to keep you from pulling away as he begins responding to the kiss. lips engulfing yours in a deeper and longer one, like it's the nth time you are kissing. like he's so used to it, like he's addicted?
“what— what was that?” jake pants out, somehow managing to pull away. his demeanor shifting drastically from the one that had just possessed him. the tendencies of a crush finally getting a taste; once you get hooked, there's no going back. not after a kiss uncalled for like that.
𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗚𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗡
he has slept once with you, just once sunghoon reminds himself— grounds himself; for he feels way too obsessed with the thought of you for having only had you once in that way. is it normal? probably not. will he do something about it? probably not.
so he acts like normal, tries to. his hands in his pockets as he walks with you to his car, head hanging low even though his eyes keep stealing glances at you while he tells you about his upcoming tournaments. stopping to open the passenger seat door for you, still speaking of his fears of lack of perfectionism.
"there's still parts i need to work extra o—" but instead of getting right in, you get onto your tiptoes and pull him by his collar into a kiss. if a body can function with a disjointed heart, sunghoon swears it's him.
his heart skipping beats in a row and all of a sudden feeling like it's stopped entirely. yet his hands and lips move without a second thought, without waiting for even a millisecond. grabbing you by the back of your neck and kissing you right back, nibbles and suckles and tongue and everything.
"you'll do well, don't worry too much," the tendencies of a one night stand turned friend; it's probably not the best idea to become buddies with someone you slept with, especially if you want more.
𝗞𝗜𝗠 𝗦𝗘𝗢𝗡𝗪𝗢��
the hallways are crowded as always, loud and bustling, drowning out your and sunoo’s laughs and giggles. talking about anything and everything while you wait for another friend.
sunoo's known you for a few years now, not a lot but enough to know when something's up. “he didn't check it properly and then.. hey? are you oka—” and he notices it on your face a fraction of a moment before you pull him into an abrupt kiss— mid conversation.
frozen, nervous and confused. yet all he thinks is actually how uncannily decent it feels, almost encroaching a feeling way too good. “i’m so sorry sun. i told my ex we are dating and he looked our way when he passed by and i panicked—” sunoo shushes you all too quickly, regretting not having kissed back properly.
“i get it, we can pretend. i don't mind it,” he doesn't know what comes over him as he proposes the idea, but he definitely expects to get into situations like these. why? he has no clue. he just wants it.
“everything you need to do to convince him, i’m all in,” his gaze trails over your lips, leaning closer unintentionally. another kiss right in the middle of the hallway. the tendencies of a friend offering to help in a non friendly way; fake dating a friend you feel like you could possibly develop feelings for is like digging your own grave.
𝗬𝗔𝗡𝗚 𝗝𝗨𝗡𝗚𝗪𝗢𝗡
four months, seventeen days, twelve hours and probably thirty-six minutes. jungwon’s counting with all he has. this relationship, or whatever is going on between you two; beyond friends and bordering lovers, is bugging him down to his core. it's eating away at him.
“you just called me your friend,” leaning against the elevator wall, hands in his pockets, jungwon tries to behave— be as nonchalant as he can. jealousy? what's that? look me in the eyes and tell me i'm just a friend look.. no he isn't looking at you like that. snap out of it yang jungwon!
“you really think i’m just a friend? after all that we have don—” two steps closer, bodies pressed, eyes locked and your kiss that shuts him up. oh to hell with being normal with you. your hands slide around the back of his neck and his words die down against your lips like kissing you is his second nature.
“boyfriend? you want that label?” the mumbles against his lips, the sound of your soft breaths and the taste of your lipbalm, it's like jungwon is high.
“again.” catching your lower lip between his in a languid nibble. he can't help but keep wanting to kiss you, the ding of the elevator drowned out behind all his thoughts of you. the tendancies of a situationship with obvious feelings; being friendzoned by your girlfriend-to-be gets you jealous, he'll admit it now.
𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗠𝗨𝗥𝗔 𝗥𝗜𝗞𝗜
friends. friends. friends. riki chants internally, again and again. and again. poopy diaper, runny nose, screeching tantrums— he thinks everything unpleasant about you, everything he possibly can. childhood friends ripping each other's hair out, neighbours annoying each other across the bedroom windows, classmates snitching out on each other's crushes. everything that's just friends.
nothing more. never— impossible. riki soothes himself, his mind and heart still jumbling all around after your question earlier, ‘what if we kissed?’ disgusting! right? he's not sure if he's answering or questioning his sanity.
and though the conversation is stirred clear of the topic, both of you nestled on your bedroom floor talking about club applications; his eyes staring right at you, seeming as unfazed as ever, his psychological state is nowhere near willing to calm down.
“what do you think about the drama clu—” your lips don't last even a second on his, before he is pushing you away, like he's allergic to kisses.
“w-what are you doing!” riki exclaims, fingers rubbing over his mouth,”i told you earlier,” and then slowly reaching forward to brush them against yours as he leans back in, involuntarily he insists. “i know but this is, so weird.. i’m not supposed to like it,” soft mumbles and lips grazing. the tendencies of a lifelong friend crossing an improbable line. locking lips with your childhood friend just for a ‘what if’ is the worst plan ever, or maybe not so much.

✩ˎˊ˗ between the shelves ( sjy ! ) — part 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✩ˎˊ˗ part of the untouchable series | enhypen masterlist
⤷ pairing — jake x fem!reader ⤷ word count — 18.7k ⤷ taglist for the series — open ! ⤷ warnings — a/b/o au, foul language, fem!reader, strangers to lovers trope, kinda oblivious!jake, jake is in love-love, tooth-rotting fluff, mentions of the other parts from this series, not proofread
✩ˎˊ˗ summary: as the only son of a prestigious family and the student council secretary, sim jaeyun—or as his friends like to call him: jake has always been at the top. admired, respected, and burdened by responsibility. he’s used to handling everything himself, ensuring perfection in all that he does. and then there was you, someone he had always seen but never had the chance to approach, until fate handed him the opportunity. hiding from relentless admirers, he found himself in the library, where, to his surprise, you weren’t just another passing face. jake has always adored the idea of having a mate, but he never rushed fate, until you. before he knows it, meetings no longer hold his full attention, tasks he once insisted on doing himself are left to others, all so he can be near you.
Tumblr media
A thick, leather-bound book rested in Jake’s hands, the pages filled with intricate Old English that he absorbed with minimal effort. The world outside didn’t exist in this moment. No expectations, no responsibilities, just the quiet hum of silence.
As a pureblooded Alpha born into wealth and status, moments like this were rare, but within the walls of the student council room, he could finally breathe.
His desk bore the title Council Secretary, and his scent of pine and oranges lingered in the air. His instincts, so accustomed to composure, were calm.
Until they weren’t.
The sharp bang of wooden doors slamming open shattered the silence, followed immediately by a heavy thud and the unmistakable sound of someone crashing onto the marble floor. A low growl echoed through the room, spilling through the air like a warning, but it was nothing Jake hadn’t heard before.
He shut his book with an irritated sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Can't even enjoy my mornings because of you mutts.”
Lifting his gaze, he saw Ni-ki sprawled out on the floor, groaning in pain, while Jay towered over him, phone in hand, grinning so wide his sharp canines glinted under the lights.
“That was pathetic,” Jay snickered, snapping another picture of Ni-ki’s crumpled state. “Hold still, I need a better angle.”
“Go to hell,” Ni-ki grumbled, pushing himself up on his elbows, glaring up at Jay like he was debating whether to lunge at him or play dead.
Jake sighed, setting his book down with patience before looking at them both with a deadpan stare. “If you two are done turning the council room into a wrestling ring, get out.”
Jay only grinned wider, slipping his phone into his pocket. “Relax your ass, Sim, we’re just having a little fun.”
Jake arched a brow. “And I was having a little peace. But as always, you two can’t seem to exist without disturbing the entire building.”
Ni-ki groaned again, rolling onto his back with a dramatic sigh. “For the record, I was thrown into the room.”
Jay shrugged. “You were in my way.”
Jake ran a hand through his hair, exhaling. Annoyed but amused, he couldn’t fight the small smile. This was routine, his peace ruined before the day even began. With a sigh, he leaned back. “Where are the others?”
Jay offered a hand to Ni-ki, easily pulling the younger Alpha up with no effort. As he did, he casually answered Jake’s question. “Heeseung, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Jungwon are with their mates doing God knows what, and yeah, we're here, I guess.” He shot a look at Ni-ki, who was brushing himself off, looking more disgruntled than hurt.
Ni-ki, still in the middle of recovering his pride, added, “Jungwon was asking what you'd like for breakfast too.”
Jake leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers against the polished wood of his desk. He took a second to think, then hummed. “Any sandwich and tea will do.”
Jay raised an eyebrow, a teasing smirk playing at his lips. “So Australian of you.”
Jake rolled his eyes, the smile still there. He couldn’t help it, his friends knew how to get under his skin but also how to make him laugh when he least expected it. “Fuck off,” he said with a laugh.
Jay and Ni-ki grinned before heading to their usual spots, each claiming their own desk within the spacious council room. They sprawled themselves out on the comfortable office chairs, limbs loose and postures unguarded, a contrast to the cold, poised way they carried themselves outside these walls.
Here, there was no need for their masks of control, no need to uphold the weight of their bloodlines with every carefully measured movement.
Jay leaned back, arms behind his head, his smirk fading into something more relaxed. Ni-ki, on the other hand, kicked his feet up on the desk in front of him. There was no need for perfection here, no calculating gazes from the elders who measured their worth in status and tradition.
Jake watched them settle, his fingers still tapping absentmindedly against his desk. It was an unspoken truth between them—this was a place where they weren’t heirs weighed down by the legacies of their families.
Jay let out a long sigh, staring at the ceiling. “So, what’s on the agenda today?” His voice was lazy, but there was curiosity beneath it.
Jake smirked, finally picking up his book again. “Not my problem until the first meeting starts. So, until then, entertain yourselves.” He flipped a page lazily before adding with a chuckle, “Besides, Jungwon’s the one holding it today.”
Jay let out a low whistle. “Poor guy.”
Ni-ki snorted. “He volunteered.”
“Still,” Jay stretched his arms over his head, “it’s cruel of you to let the kid handle all those reports first thing in the morning.”
Jake barely spared him a glance, amusement flickering in his eyes. “He’s the council president. He can handle it.”
Ni-ki hummed in agreement, already reclining further into his chair. “Fair point.”
Their silence was short-lived.
“Babe, I swear it wasn’t me!”
The frantic plea was followed by the sound of hurried footsteps before the doors were slammed open, again.
Sunoo stumbled into the room, half-dragged by Sunghoon’s sister, who had his wrist in an iron grip. Her eyes burned with fury, a stark contrast to Sunoo’s desperate expression as he tried and failed to reason with her.
Behind them, three familiar Omegas rushed in, all trying to calm her down, but their efforts were useless. She wasn’t letting go anytime soon.
The rest of the council members, scattered around the room, barely reacted, other than to smirk at the scene unfolding before them.
Jay leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “Well, this is new. Usually, Sunoo's the one doing the chasing.”
Ni-ki snickered. “What did he even do?”
Sunoo shot them both a panicked look. “I didn't do anything!”
Sunghoon’s sister tightened her grip, making the pink-haired Alpha yelp. “Liar.”
Jake exhaled sharply through his nose, snapping his book shut with a dull thud before pinching the bridge of his nose. “Every damn morning with you people.”
Heeseung, Sunghoon, and Jungwon strolled in, Jungwon balancing a tray of drinks while Heeseung and Sunghoon carried bags of food. Sunghoon placed his down on the table with a lazy smirk. “Yeah, because clearly, I’m the one who forgot her coffee order. Really, Kim?”
Heeseung snorted as he set his own bag down. “Man, you really dug your own grave this time.”
Ni-ki snickered. “Or, y’know, not let your mate plot your downfall first thing in the morning.”
Jake shook his head, leaning back in his chair, already done with the day despite it barely starting. “Someone just make sure they don’t destroy the place before the first meeting.”
Jungwon, the only one actually preparing for said meeting, sighed. “Not my job.”
This was gonna be a long day.
Tumblr media
Jake sat at his desk, his chin propped up on one hand as he lazily flipped through his book. His classroom wasn’t exactly his first choice for a hangout spot, but with an hour to kill before class started, the others had somehow decided it was the perfect place to loiter.
Heeseung and Jay were sprawled on the desks near the window, bickering over something trivial. Sunghoon sat with his arms crossed, seemingly unbothered, while Ni-ki stole Jungwon’s notebook, flipping through it with fake curiosity. Sunoo was slumped in a chair, spinning a pen between his fingers, looking as if he was ready to nap at any second.
The rest of the students in the room? Staring.
Seven pureblooded Alphas gathered in one place was enough to make anyone second-guess their presence. To most, they weren’t just intimidating—they were untouchable. A different breed entirely. Powerful, respected, envied. Gods among the mortals.
Jay stretched, letting out a loud yawn. “Y’know, for a guy who complains about us ruining his peace, you sure don’t kick us out.”
Jake didn’t even glance up from his book. “Because you’d just follow me somewhere else.”
Sunghoon snorted. “He’s got a point.”
Ni-ki, still flipping through Jungwon’s notes, suddenly looked up. “So, what’s the plan? We just sit here and let people gawk at us for the next hour?”
Sunoo groaned, tilting his head back. “Sounds exhausting.”
Jake sighed, shutting his book with a quiet thud. He knew better than to expect a moment of true peace when his friends were involved.
Jungwon tapped his fingers against the desk, glancing at the clock before looking around at the others. “We could go out and eat an early lunch or something.”
Jay, still balanced on the back legs of his chair, stretched his arms over his head. “Tempting, but do I look like I wanna move?”
Heeseung smirked. “Or… we could buy a new car.”
For a second, the room was silent. Then, with zero hesitation, the rest of them hummed in agreement.
“We should,” Sunghoon said, nodding as if it were the most logical idea.
“Yeah,” Ni-ki added, “we definitely should.”
Jake leaned back, unimpressed. “You guys can barely get out of those chairs.”
Sunoo, still twirling his pen between his fingers, shot Jake a lazy grin. “Exactly. We have the money, the connections, the resources… but no energy.”
Jay sighed dramatically, rubbing a hand over his face. “Such is the burden of being rich.”
Jungwon rolled his eyes. “You guys are ridiculous.”
Heeseung ignored him, leaning forward with a glint of amusement in his eyes. “Okay, but if we were actually buying one, what are we thinking? Another sports car? Something imported?”
“I’m feeling a custom build,” Sunghoon mused, pretending to consider the idea.
Jay grinned. “We could each get one.”
“We could,” Ni-ki agreed, nodding sagely.
They all sat there for a second, deep in thought. Not a single one of them moved.
Jake smirked, arms crossed over his chest. “Yeah. That’s what I thought.”
Jungwon shook his head, muttering under his breath before sitting up straighter. “Okay, so lunch?”
Sunoo waved a lazy hand. “Too much effort.”
Jay sighed, finally letting his chair drop back onto all four legs. “Then what? We just sit here and rot?”
“Pretty much,” Sunghoon deadpanned.
Jake, who had been half-listening while flipping through the last few pages of his book, finally closed it with a soft thud. He stretched his arms over his head, rolling out his shoulders. “Well, unlike you guys, I actually have something to do. Gotta return this.”
Jay raised a brow. “You need someone to come with you?”
Jake scoffed, shaking his head. “I’m not like Ni-ki. I can survive a walk to the library alone.”
Ni-ki, who had been aimlessly tapping his fingers against the desk, snapped his head up. “Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?”
Jake just shot him a grin before swiftly making his exit, his laughter echoing down the hallway as the youngest grumbled under his breath.
Jay snickered, nudging Ni-ki with his foot. “You gonna take that?”
Ni-ki huffed, slumping further into his chair. “I’m letting him have his moment. He’s gonna trip on air soon enough, and when he does, I’ll be there.”
Sunghoon smirked. “I’ll pay to see that.”
Tumblr media
Luminous shades of gold bled through the library windows, casting soft halos of light over towering shelves lined with countless books. Dust particles floated lazily in the air, illuminated by the gentle glow, as the faint scent of aged paper and ink settled like a quiet hum in the silence.
Jake’s slow steps echoed against the polished floor, the only sound aside from the occasional page turning or scratch of a pen. Most students were in class, leaving the library nearly empty, just the way he liked it.
With one hand shoved deep into his pocket and the other gripping a newly found book by some historical author he had always meant to read, he allowed himself to get lost in the moment.
His gaze trailed along the rows of shelves, taking in the endless spines of stories and knowledge, before drifting toward the farthest section of the library, where the soft rustling of pages caught his attention.
There was someone else here. You.
Your figure stood among the books, reaching up to return a few to their rightful place. The way your fingers traced the spines, the natural ease in your movements—it was almost mesmerizing. Like you belonged to this place, like the library itself was an extension of you.
His grip on his book tightened. Where had he seen you before?
His gaze lingered on the soft flush of your cheeks, the way your lips, plump and untouched by any trace of worry, parted ever so slightly as you focused on the books in your hands. Everything about you was delicate, and it made something inside him stir.
Jake swallowed, shaking his head as if to clear the sudden haze clouding his thoughts.
His thoughts were interrupted by the soft thud of a book slipping from your hands.
The moment it hit the ground never came; because he was already moving, instincts sharper than his own awareness. His fingers wrapped around the spine just in time, catching it with ease. The world around him blurred, fading into irrelevance as he looked up, only to find you reaching for it at the same time.
Your fingers brushed against his: warm, soft, fleeting. But it was enough. Enough for something to stir deep within him, a current running sharp and fast through his veins. His grip on the book tightened slightly before he forced himself to loosen it, finally handing it back to you.
“Thank you,” you murmured, voice gentle, but it rang through his ears like a bell.
Jake swallowed. Up close, you were even more unreal than he had thought. The golden light framed you like you belonged to another world entirely.
And then, there was your scent.
Honey and seawater. Sweet, but fresh. Familiar yet foreign. It was intoxicating, wrapping around his senses and settling into his lungs like something meant to be there.
His own scent spiked before he could stop it—warm, rich, deep, like oranges and pine, crisp air after rain. Not overpowering, but enough. Enough to see your breath hitch, your lashes flutter as you blinked up at him.
Jake silently thanked the universe at that moment for making him a pureblooded Alpha. Because if he weren’t—if he didn’t have the control, the discipline, the sheer force of will ingrained into his very being, he might’ve done something reckless.
He might’ve stepped closer. Might’ve let himself breathe you in for a second longer. Might’ve said something that would betray the way his entire body was suddenly on high alert, every nerve tuned in to you.
But instead, he did what he did best. He played it off, a lazy smirk curving at the corner of his lips as if this moment hadn’t just turned his world on its axis.
“No problem,” he finally said, voice smooth, calculated.
He made sure his tone was effortless, made sure his expression stayed composed, like his heart wasn’t hammering against his ribs, like his senses weren’t still tangled up in the traces of your scent lingering in the air.
He let his gaze flicker over you one last time before he forced himself to look away, shifting his weight slightly, fingers drumming against the cover of his book as if his entire body wasn’t still hyper-aware of your presence.
You gave him a small nod, your lips curling into a polite smile before turning back to the shelves. And that should’ve been the end of it. That should’ve been his cue to walk away, to let this moment dissolve into nothing more than a short interaction.
But Jake didn’t move.
Instead, he stood there, gripping his book a little too tightly, watching as you reached for another volume on the top shelf, your fingers brushing against the spine with ease. He watched as a stray beam of light caught in your hair, making it glow, as if the sun itself had taken a liking to you. He watched the way your lashes fluttered when you scanned the titles, the way your lips parted slightly in concentration.
And for the first time in a long time, Jake found himself at a complete loss.
He had met hundreds—thousands—of people. He had seen beauty in all forms, had been in the presence of those who were revered, admired, worshipped even. Yet somehow, none of them had ever managed to unravel him like this. None of them had ever made the air feel heavier, had ever made him question if he had truly seen them before, or if they had only existed in the parts of his mind he hadn’t dared explore.
Why did it feel like he should know you?
“You come here often?” The words left his mouth before he could think better of them, and for a second, he almost cringed at himself. He wasn’t that guy. He could do better than that.
You turned to him, one brow raised in mild amusement. “To the library?”
Jake chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah, okay, that sounded dumb.”
“A little,” you teased, your lips curving into the softest smile. “But to answer your question, I do. I help here when I have free time.”
Something about that made too much sense. You belonged in a place like this, where everything was calm, where the scent of books and ink lingered in the air, where the golden light spilling through the windows made you look almost ethereal.
“Huh,” Jake mused, nodding.
Your brow furrowed slightly. “Why? You don’t come to the library often?”
“Only when I need to,” he admitted with a smirk. “Or when I’m trying to get away from certain people.”
“Ah,” you nodded knowingly. “So, I’m guessing today is one of those days?”
Jake let out a breathy chuckle. “Something like that.” He tilted his head slightly, curiosity getting the better of him. “What about you? You actually like being here?”
Your gaze softened, trailing over the rows of books surrounding you. “Yeah. It’s quiet. Peaceful.” You glanced back at him, a playful glint in your eyes. “And usually free of distractions.”
Jake placed a hand over his chest, feigning offense. “Ouch. Are you saying I’m a distraction?”
You bit back a laugh. “I didn’t say that.”
“Didn’t have to,” he shot back, his smirk widening.
For a moment, silence settled between you both—not the awkward kind, but something softer, something comfortable. Jake found himself memorizing the way the light reflected in your eyes, the way your fingers brushed against the book in your hands absentmindedly.
Then you tilted your head. “What book is that?”
Jake glanced down at the book he had been gripping this entire time. “Something I just finished.”
“Was it good?”
He studied you for a moment before a teasing glint flickered in his gaze. “Maybe you should borrow it and find out.”
You smirked, crossing your arms. “What if I hate it?”
Jake grinned, tilting his head, eyes glinting with mischief. “Then I’d seriously question your taste in books, and possibly in people.”
You scoffed, rolling your eyes, but you couldn’t help the amused chuckle that escaped. “Wow, so judgmental.”
He shrugged, unbothered. “I have standards.”
You laughed softly, reaching for the book. Your fingers brushed his—warm, electric. Jake’s scent spiked before he could stop it, oranges and pine, rich and inviting.
You didn’t say anything, but you hesitated, your fingers lingering against his for just a fraction longer than necessary. That momentary pause tells him you noticed.
Jake cleared his throat, flexing his fingers slightly before shoving one hand into his pocket. He watched as you flipped open the book, eyes scanning the first few lines. The sunlight filtering through the library windows caught in your hair, giving you an almost ethereal glow. You looked so focused, so at ease, and yet…
There’s something about you that tugs at something buried deep inside him.
“You’re sure we haven’t met before?” he asks, voice quieter this time, like he’s speaking more to himself than to you.
You glance up, brows furrowing slightly. “You seem familiar.” Your voice is careful, as if testing the words. “And not just because you’re the student council secretary.”
Jake watches you closely as you tilt your head, lost in thought.
“I feel like I’ve seen you before,” you continue. “At dinners, at events.” A small sigh escapes you. “But I never really cared to remember the faces or names at those things.”
Something in Jake’s chest tightens.
You weren’t like the others, then. The ones who flaunted their family names, who cared too much about appearances, about impressing the right people. You were rich, sure, but you didn’t let it define you.
And somehow, that made you even more intriguing. A slow smirk tugs at the corner of Jake’s lips. “Ouch.”
You let out a small laugh, shaking your head. “Don’t take it personally. I just never cared about those social circles.”
Jake hums in amusement. “And yet, here we are.”
You arch a brow. “And yet, here we are.”
Jake’s gaze flickers to the book cart beside you, filled with stacks waiting to be returned to their proper places. He tilts his head, considering, then gestures toward it.
“Mind if I help?”
You blink, caught off guard. “You?”
He raises an eyebrow. “What? Think I’m incapable of putting books on a shelf?”
You huff out a small laugh. “I just figured you’d have a class to get to. Or a meeting.”
Jake leans casually against the cart, hands in his pockets, looking completely unbothered. “My classes don’t even start for at least forty minutes or so.” His lips curl into that signature, lazy grin. “Plenty of time to lend a hand.”
You narrow your eyes playfully. “And why exactly would the student council secretary want to waste his free time stacking books?”
His grin widens. “Maybe I just like the company.”
You roll your eyes, turning to grab a book from the cart, but before you can, Jake leans in slightly, dropping his voice just enough to make you pause.
“Or,” he teases, “are you saying you don’t want a big, strong Alpha helping you?”
You let out a giggle, shaking your head. “Oh, please.”
Jake smirks. “That wasn’t a no.”
You shake your head again, amused, and hand him a book. “Fine, Secretary Sim. Let’s see if you actually know your way around a library.”
He takes it from you with an exaggerated air of confidence. “Prepare to be impressed.”
And just like that, minutes pass, time slipping through your fingers like sand as you and Jake move through the towering shelves, placing books where they belong. What started as a simple task quickly turns into something else entirely, something lighter.
You are nothing but a giggling fit as the pureblooded Alpha standing just a few inches from you recounts stories from his childhood. For someone who always seemed so put-together, so composed, seeing this side of him; one filled with sighs and boyish grins as he talks about his past—it was unexpectedly charming.
“So let me get this straight,” you say, biting back another laugh as you slide a book onto the shelf. “You cried because your tutor forced you to read Alice in Wonderland?”
Jake groans dramatically, running a hand down his face. “I was like… six, okay? And I didn’t just cry—I threw the book.”
You gasp, covering your mouth in mock horror. “The abuse!”
He snorts, shaking his head. “It was self-defense. I thought it was gonna be some fun story about a girl going on an adventure, but it made no sense.”
You stifle a laugh as he leans against the shelf beside you, watching your expression with a knowing smirk. “You think it’s funny?”
You nod, grinning. “It is funny. What kind of kid throws a tantrum over Alice in Wonderland?”
“The kind who got locked in a study room for hours and told he wasn’t leaving until he finished the chapter,” he says, deadpan.
At that, you burst into quiet laughter, shaking your head. “So what changed? You seem pretty into books now.”
Jake exhales, rolling a book between his hands. “Honestly? After that, I refused to read anything for a while. But my mom, she wasn’t having it. She started giving me books that actually interested me. Stories about history, people, real things. And eventually… I don’t know. I got used to it. Liked it, even.”
His voice softens slightly, a hint of sincerity slipping through his usual teasing tone. It makes you pause, watching him a little more closely.
“Guess I should thank my stubborn tutor,” he adds with a lopsided smile. “Even if Alice in Wonderland still haunts me to this day.”
You shake your head, grinning. “Noted. No Wonderland-themed gifts for you.”
Jake chuckles, his gaze lingering on you for just a second too long. Then, with a playful nudge of your shoulder, he steps back, grabbing another book from the cart.
He glances down at the watch strapped to his wrist, and his chest tightens when he sees the time—only ten minutes left before his next class. He exhales through his nose, shoulders dropping slightly.
Why did it feel so heavy to leave? It wasn’t like he wasn’t coming back. It wasn’t like this was the last time he’d see you. But something about walking away now, after all the laughter, after the ease that settled between you both, made his steps feel weighted.
He sets the book down on the cart, rubbing the back of his neck before finally looking at you. “Guess I should get going,” he mutters, not moving just yet.
You tilt your head, a soft, knowing smile gracing your lips. “Duty calls, huh?”
Jake chuckles, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “Yeah. Something like that.”
There’s a second of silence, and he shifts on his feet, reluctant. He knows he should go, his class isn’t going to wait for him—but there's something holding him in place, like an invisible thread still tying him to this moment, to you.
His fingers tap against the side of his thigh, his weight shifting slightly. Then, before he can think twice about it, he blurts out, “You know… I never got your name.”
It’s a poor excuse to stay a little longer, but it’s the truth. He’s heard people mention you before, seen you in passing at events or around school—always just another face in a sea of familiarity. But here, now, under the warm glow of the library, he realizes that knowing of you isn’t the same as knowing you.
And he wants to.
Your eyebrows lift slightly, caught off guard by the sudden shift. Then, as if humoring him, you tilt your head, an amused glint in your eyes.
“You mean to tell me you, Sim Jaeyun—Jake, student council secretary—know the names of half the student body but not mine?” you tease lightly, arms crossing over your chest.
Jake scoffs, crossing his own arms in response, mirroring your stance. “Hey, in my defense, most people introduce themselves to me first,” he says, a smirk tugging at his lips. “You, on the other hand, just threw books at me and insulted my childhood trauma.”
You laugh, shaking your head. “Fine, fine.” You unfold your arms, watching him for a moment before finally saying, “(Y/N). (Y/N) (L/N).”
And that’s it. That’s all it takes.
He just knows he looks stupid right now. Like some love-struck idiot with a boyish grin plastered across his face. But he can’t help it.
Your name fits. It rolls through his mind so easily, as if he’s always known it.
“(Y/N),” he repeats, testing how it feels on his tongue. Yeah. He likes it.
Before he can embarrass himself any further, he takes a step back, pointing lazily at the book still on top of the cart. “Don’t forget to let me know if you hate it,” he teases, a smirk playing at his lips.
You roll your eyes but wave him off with an amused shake of your head.
Tumblr media
The brunette Alpha stood at the front of the room, hands in his pockets, the glow of the projector casting sharp shadows across his face.
Another council meeting was in full swing, and the proposal was displayed on the screen behind him—an extensive, well-structured plan covering student initiatives for the next few months. His voice was steady as he spoke.
“As you can see, the proposed projects align with last year’s data on student participation rates. The revisions focus on accessibility, budget efficiency, and—”
A voice interrupted.
“How are you sure this is actually in line with what the student body wants?”
Jake’s sentence cut off. His head tilted slightly, eyes flickering toward the source of the comment—a Beta seated a few rows back, arms crossed, expression laced with casual arrogance.
Silence settled over the room.
Jake didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he exhaled through his nose, his fingers curling slightly before flexing out again.
Then, he let out a quiet scoff. The kind that wasn’t amused. The kind that sent tension through the air.
The Beta shifted in his seat, but Jake only raised a brow, taking his time before speaking.
“I’m sorry,” he said, his voice calm. Too calm. “Did I just spend the last ten minutes breaking down survey data, feedback percentages, and budget adjustments for you to sit there and ask that?”
The Beta blinked.
Jake took a step forward, slowly, hands still in his pockets. “Tell me, do you think I’m just making things up? You think I’m sitting in my room, pulling numbers out of my ass for fun?” His voice was smooth, but the sharpness beneath it was unmistakable.
The room was deathly quiet now.
The Beta’s smirk wavered, but he pushed back. “I just think we should consider if—”
Jake cut him off. “No, see, I actually consider things. That’s why I have reports—real student responses—right here.” He tapped the remote, switching the slide. Pages of survey results filled the screen. “Meanwhile, you’re just speculating.”
Silence.
Jake’s gaze was cold. The Beta looked away.
“Thought so,” Jake muttered, clicking to the next slide as if nothing had happened. “Now, moving on.”
The tension still hung thick in the air, but somewhere near the front, Heeseung and Sunghoon exchanged a look—one of amusement, a smirk tugging at the corners of their lips.
Heeseung let out a quiet chuckle under his breath, barely audible over the sound of the projector clicking to the next slide. Sunghoon bit the inside of his cheek to keep from outright grinning.
“Damn,” Heeseung muttered low enough for only those nearby to hear.
Sunghoon, resting his chin lazily against his palm, whispered back, “Should’ve kept his mouth shut.”
The Beta had noticeably shrunk in his seat, his earlier arrogance dissolving under Jake’s scrutiny. His grip tightened around his pen, eyes fixed anywhere but on the secretary at the front of the room.
From the side, Sunoo barely spared him a glance before mumbling, “Serves him right.”
Jake, meanwhile, acted as though nothing had happened, his expression schooled back into indifference. He clicked through another slide, eyes skimming over the proposal details.
Ni-ki and Jay, seated near the back, exchanged glances before grinning. Without a word, Ni-ki held up a fist, and Jay bumped his against it—the silent gesture between them going unnoticed by most.
Well, almost unnoticed.
Jungwon, ever the responsible president, was supposed to be the professional one—the peacemaker. He was meant to keep the meetings under control, not laugh in moments like this. But, really, this was what happened when people tried to provoke them.
Despite knowing better, Jungwon let out a quiet snicker, only to quickly disguise it with a cough, covering his mouth as if clearing his throat. The movement was poorly timed, though, and Sunoo shot him an unimpressed look while Heeseung outright smirked.
Jake, standing at the front, didn’t acknowledge any of it, his attention seemingly fixed on the presentation—but the sharp flicker of amusement in his eyes betrayed him.
“As I was saying before we decided to entertain baseless accusations,” Jake continued smoothly, clicking through another slide, “the budget allocations for each committee have been balanced accordingly. If anyone has actual concerns that don’t involve unnecessary questioning of my ability to read statistics, now would be the time to raise them.”
Silence.
Jungwon pressed his fist against his mouth, eyes crinkling as he fought the urge to laugh again.
Jake exhaled sharply through his nose, rolling his shoulders back before giving a curt nod.
“That’s all for today,” he hummed, voice smooth yet edged with the remnants of his earlier irritation. He didn’t bother with any closing remarks or pleasantries, simply gathering his things with efficiency. His movements were controlled—yet the way he shut his notebook with just a little too much force gave him away.
The second the meeting ended, he was gone. No lingering, no small talk, just a brisk exit, bag slung over his shoulder.
His steps were quick, the grand library doors already in sight, the one place no one would dare follow him.
But just as he turned the corner, voices caught his attention.
“Oh! Jake’s free now, should we go talk to him?”
“He always leaves so quickly after meetings… maybe today’s our chance?”
Jake cursed under his breath.
A group of Omegas stood a few feet away, clearly debating the best way to approach him. He didn’t have the patience for this. Not today. He wasn’t in the right mindset to deal with hopeful smiles or small talk.
More importantly, he didn’t trust himself not to accidentally snap. The last thing he needed was to ruin someone’s day just because he was still irritated from some idiotic remark earlier.
And, god forbid, if someone tried to confess their feelings today, he might actually combust.
He quickened his pace, reaching the library doors just before anyone could call his name. Slipping inside, he shut them behind him with a soft thud, muting the distant voices that nearly caught him.
The Alpha took a breath.
The library was cool, quiet—the perfect escape. His sharp eyes scanned the room, quickly bypassing the open tables and the front desk. He didn’t want to risk being found. Instead, he made a beeline for the very back, where towering bookshelves created a maze of hidden seats.
There, near the last row, he found what he was looking for—a section with oversized shelves, their positioning just awkward enough to create a hidden space. It wasn’t a proper seating area, more like a forbidden section of the library, where students occasionally hid when they wanted to avoid the world.
Perfect.
Jake slipped into the small space, sinking onto the cushioned seat against the back wall. The moment he was out of sight, he let his head rest against the wood, eyes briefly shutting.
Finally. No interruptions. No stupid questions. No unwanted attention. Just silence.
Tumblr media
Jake had been there for a while now, longer than he intended, but time always moved differently in the library. The quiet had done little to fully rid him of his earlier frustration, but at least it kept him from doing something he’d regret.
A book rested in his hands, something he had picked up absentmindedly from the shelf near his hiding spot. He wasn’t even sure what it was about, but flipping through the pages had given him something to do.
His fingers hovered over the corner of the page, ready to turn it, when he heard it—soft footsteps approaching, barely audible against the carpeted floors.
Jake tensed.
He wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone. If it was one of his friends coming to tease him, or worse, someone trying to get his attention for another pointless conversation, he was going to—
But then the scent of honey and seawater hit him.
It was soft, familiar, cutting through his frustration like a breath of fresh air. Unlike the overwhelming scents he had escaped, this one simply existed, wrapping around him until his grip on the book loosened.
Then, your voice followed. “Are you okay?”
Jake froze.
Your voice was gentle, laced with concern. Not prying, but still searching. And suddenly, whatever sharp retort he had been about to throw out died in his throat.
His annoyance didn’t seem so important anymore.
Jake swallowed, his lips parting slightly, but no words came out at first. It wasn’t like him to be at a loss for words—not in meetings, not in arguments, not even when he was annoyed. But something about you being here, standing so close, made all the tension he had been carrying shift into something else.
Slowly, he lowered the book, tilting his head just enough to meet your gaze. Your expression was soft, brows slightly drawn together, not with curiosity, but with something gentler. You weren’t here to pry or gossip. You just… cared. And suddenly, his frustration felt almost childish.
“I…” he stopped himself, exhaling sharply through his nose.
He wanted to say he was fine, that it was nothing, that it was just another stupid meeting with people who didn’t know how to keep their mouths shut.
But the words didn’t come out.
Instead, Jake leaned back against the loveseat, gaze flickering to the pages of his book as if searching for an answer.
You didn’t press him. You didn’t demand an explanation or scold him for running off like his friends probably would have. You just stood there, waiting.
And for some reason, that made him want to answer.
“I just needed some space,” he muttered eventually, his voice quieter than usual, lacking its usual sharpness. He rubbed the back of his neck, finally meeting your eyes again. “Didn’t feel like dealing with anyone.”
You hummed, stepping closer. The scent of you made the last of his annoyance settle into something easier to manage.
“I figured,” you said softly. “You looked upset earlier.”
Jake’s brows lifted slightly, surprised that you had noticed. His friends might’ve caught on, but most people weren’t perceptive enough to see through his carefully crafted walls. Yet, you had.
He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Some beta tried challenging me mid-meeting,” he muttered, irritation creeping in before he caught himself. Shaking his head, he added, “Doesn’t matter anymore.”
Silence settled between you, but it wasn’t uncomfortable.
Jake found himself watching you instead—how you shifted slightly on your feet, how your fingers curled at your sides as if debating whether or not to reach out. The thought made something in his chest tighten unexpectedly.
Then, after a moment, you spoke again.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Jake let out a quiet laugh, not mocking, but almost… grateful. He shook his head, a small, tired smile tugging at his lips. “Nah,” he said, closing the book in his hands. “But… I don’t mind staying here for a while.”
His voice was quieter now, almost hesitant, but the way your face softened told him you understood.
You hesitated before shifting your weight slightly. “Can I sit?”
Jake blinked, surprised by the question, then nodded, maybe a little too eagerly. Clearing his throat, he schooled his expression back to neutral and gestured to the spot beside him. “Yeah, of course.”
You settled down next to him, the space between you small but not suffocating. Close enough that he could feel your warmth, but not close enough to be overwhelming.
Jake exhaled slowly, feeling the last remnants of his frustration loosen in his chest. The meeting, the irritation, the unwanted attention from his admirers, it all seemed a little less important now.
For a while, neither of you spoke. The only sounds were the distant rustling of pages and the occasional creak of a chair as someone moved in the main area of the library. But here, hidden away behind the tall shelves, it felt like a world apart.
His fingers idly traced the book’s cover, though he wasn’t really reading. Instead, he was hyper-aware of your knee barely brushing his, your scent lingering; unexpectedly soothing.
“You always come here when you need space?” you asked after a moment, your voice soft, curious but not prying.
Jake tilted his head slightly, considering. “Not always,” he admitted. “But it’s quiet. And no one really thinks to look for me back here.” He huffed a quiet laugh. “Except you, apparently.”
You smiled, nudging his arm lightly. “I had a feeling.”
The pureblooded Alpha found himself smiling back—a real one this time. Not forced, not out of politeness, but something small and genuine.
Jake eased back against the wall, shoulders finally relaxing. His fingers tapped absently on the book’s spine, but he wasn’t reading, not when your presence felt more real than the words on the page.
“You know, you always seem to know where to find me,” he mused, glancing at you out of the corner of his eye.
You shrugged, tilting your head slightly. “Maybe I just know you better than most, even if I just met you.”
The words settled between you both—not heavy, not awkward, just honest. Jake felt something unfamiliar stir in his chest, something warm.
He studied you for a second longer before shaking his head with a soft chuckle. “Scary thought.”
You rolled your eyes playfully. “Oh, please. You’re not that complicated.”
Jake hummed, amused, but didn’t argue. Instead, he let the silence stretch again, though this time, it felt different—more comfortable. The frustration from earlier had nearly faded entirely, replaced by something far less sharp.
After a moment, you reached over, tapping your fingers lightly against the edge of his book. “So, what are you reading?”
Jake glanced down, suddenly remembering he was even holding something. He flipped the book in his hands absentmindedly before handing it over to you. “Something I grabbed off the shelf. Wasn’t really paying attention.”
You took it, skimming the cover. “Mmh, seems interesting.”
Jake scoffed lightly. “You didn’t even read anything yet.”
You grinned. “I have good intuition.”
Jake shook his head, but the amusement lingered in his eyes. He watched as you scanned the cover, the way your brows furrowed slightly in concentration. He didn’t know why, but the sight of you so focused on something so simple made his chest tighten.
He looked away, clearing his throat. “You can borrow it if you want.”
You glanced up at him, lips twitching in the beginnings of a smile. “You sure? I thought you came here to read.”
Jake exhaled a short laugh, running a hand through his hair. “Yeah, well…” He trailed off, gaze flickering to yours before looking away just as quickly. “I think I found something better to focus on.”
The words left his mouth before he could really think about them, and Jake nearly winced at himself. But then you laughed, soft and light—and the tension in his shoulders eased.
You nudged him again, a touch more lingering this time. “Flatterer.”
Jake smirked. “Just saying.”
You tapped your fingers against the book’s spine, tilting your head slightly as you considered something. Then, with an easy smile, you turned to Jake.
“Wanna read it together?”
Jake blinked, caught off guard. “Together?”
You nodded, flipping the book open and patting the space between you both. “Yeah. You said you weren’t really paying attention when you picked it, right? So why not give it a proper chance?”
Jake hesitated for a second, then exhaled through his nose, a soft chuckle slipping past his lips. “You really don’t take no for an answer, do you?”
You grinned. “Not when I know it’s a good idea.”
Shaking his head, Jake shifted slightly, leaning in just enough so he could read over your shoulder as you settled into the first few pages. The closeness wasn’t something he was used to—at least, not like this. It wasn’t suffocating. Instead, it felt warm, your scent wrapping around him in a way that slowly untangled the tension from his limbs.
For a few minutes, the only sound between you both was the quiet rustle of pages turning. Then—
“Oh my god,” you murmured, biting back a laugh.
Jake glanced at you, brow furrowed. “What?”
You pointed at a line of dialogue, barely able to hold in your giggle. “My love for you burns like the eternal sun, scorching and unyielding in its devotion.”
You turned to him, eyes sparkling with amusement. “Scorching and unyielding?”
Jake groaned, dragging a hand down his face. “I knew I picked up something weird.”
You nudged him playfully. “No, no, this is great. Keep reading.”
Jake huffed but followed along as you continued. Another dramatic line came up, something about hearts entwining like ivy around stone, and you couldn’t stop yourself from giggling again.
“You’re laughing,” Jake accused, though his tone was more fond than annoyed.
You nodded, grinning. “Because this is so overly dramatic. Do people actually talk like this?”
Jake smirked, flipping the page. “Maybe in, like, the 1800s.”
You snorted, shaking your head. “I don’t know, Jake. I think you should take notes. Maybe next time you wanna woo an Omega, try saying, ‘My devotion to you is like the tides, endless and drawn to the moon’s call.’”
Jake nearly choked. “Absolutely not.”
Your laughter echoed softly through the library’s quiet corners, warm and easy. Jake grinned despite himself, the bitterness in his scent from earlier fading entirely, replaced by something softer, warm oranges and fresh pine, subtle but there.
You inhaled lightly, the change making your chest flutter just a bit. Without thinking, you smiled.
Jake noticed.
His gaze flickered to you, curiosity glinting in his eyes. “What?”
You shook your head, still smiling. “Nothing.”
Jake wasn’t convinced, but he didn’t push. Instead, he let the moment settle, let the warmth of your laughter and the ridiculous book between you both fill the space.
“Alright,” he sighed dramatically, flipping another page. “Let’s see just how much worse this gets.”
Tumblr media
For a while, you read in silence, the occasional rustle of a page the only sound. The library's soft glow wrapped your hidden corner in warmth, making it feel even more secluded, like the rest of the world had melted away, leaving just the two of you.
Jake found himself enjoying the book despite its overly dramatic writing, maybe because you were reading it too. Your amused huffs and quiet comments made it more entertaining than it should have been. But after a while, he noticed something.
You had grown quiet.
Too quiet.
Jake subtly glanced at you from the corner of his eye, lips twitching when he realized what was happening. Your blinks were getting slower, your posture more relaxed, and the way your fingers had stopped fidgeting with the edge of the page told him—without a doubt—you were dozing off.
He let out a breathless chuckle, barely a sound, shaking his head. You really do have a way of catching me off guard, huh?
For a moment, he debated waking you, but something about the peaceful look on your face stopped him. Instead, Jake hesitated for only a second before moving carefully.
With the gentleness only a pureblooded Alpha raised on traditional etiquette could have, he shifted ever so slightly, angling his shoulder toward you. Then, just as lightly, he guided your head to rest against him.
You stirred for the briefest moment, instinctively snuggling a little closer to his side.
Jake immediately froze. His whole body tensed.
His heart skipped a beat.
It was ridiculous, but the warmth of you against him, the way your scent wrapped around him so effortlessly, made his thoughts stumble.
He swallowed, exhaling slowly through his nose, trying to will away the sudden tightness in his chest. This is fine. It’s nothing.
You were just tired. And he was just being considerate. That’s what an Alpha was supposed to do, right? Protect, provide comfort, ensure safety.
So why did it feel like something far more intimate?
He swallowed, forcing himself to focus on the book still open in his lap. The words blurred slightly as his mind reeled, but he kept reading anyway, if only to distract himself from the fact that you were resting against him, trusting him enough to do so.
Outside, the library remained as quiet as ever. The world carried on.
But for Jake, sitting there in the dim light, your soft breathing evening out against his side, something shifted.
And he wasn’t sure he could ever shift it back.
Your breath was steady, your warmth pressed lightly against him, and for a moment, Jake thought you had fully drifted off.
But then, just as he was about to return his attention to the book, you stirred slightly, shifting against his side.
Your voice, quiet and laced with sleep, barely broke the hush of the library.
"Wake me up in fifteen minutes?"
You mumbled the words, your voice slurring just the tiniest bit.
Jake stilled.
He looked down at you, watching as your eyelashes fluttered against your cheek, your breathing slow and deep. The way you said it—so trusting, so unguarded—made something warm unfurl in his chest.
He exhaled softly, barely above a whisper, but there was no mistaking the tenderness in his voice when he responded.
"Sure, omega. Sure."
It was the softest he had ever spoken. The gentlest he had ever let himself be.
Jake didn’t know if you heard it, if your drowsy mind even registered the way his voice had dipped into something almost tame.
But he didn’t care.
Because as you let out a content sigh, sinking just a little bit further into his side, he knew one thing for certain—
Fifteen minutes wouldn't be enough.
The library stayed still, the only sound a distant rustle of pages. Late afternoon light streamed through tall windows, casting a warm glow over your hidden corner.
Jake, who had only meant to let you rest for fifteen minutes, had somehow drifted off himself.
His breathing was even, his frame relaxed, and without realizing it, he had shifted closer. His head had dipped, resting atop yours, while your body had curled just slightly into his side.
The scent of oranges and pine surrounded you, warmer now, softened by sleep, no longer laced with the bitterness from earlier.
For the first time that day, everything felt at peace.
Until your eyelids fluttered open.
You blinked slowly, your body still heavy with sleep. The warmth against you registered first, followed by the weight on your head. It took your drowsy mind a moment to process that Jake had fallen asleep, too—that you had both somehow ended up nestled against each other.
Your cheeks warmed instantly.
Careful not to wake him, you shifted, his uniform brushing against your skin. Slowly, you reached into your skirt pocket, fingers curling around your phone. You turned the screen on—
And immediately panicked.
You had overslept.
By an hour.
Your breath hitched, and you nearly jolted upright, but Jake stirred at the movement, a quiet sigh leaving his lips.
You froze.
His head shifted slightly against yours before settling once more, his arm now loosely resting against your side, as if unconsciously keeping you in place.
Your heart was practically in your throat.
You should wake him up. You needed to wake him up.
You hesitated, phone still clutched in your hand as you weighed your options.
Jake was still fast asleep, his breathing slow and steady, completely at ease for the first time all day.
Something about that made you pause.
Carefully, despite the awkward angle, you tilted your head up just slightly—just enough to get a proper look at him.
And for a moment, you forgot how to breathe.
Up close, he looked softer, more serene than the composed, ever-efficient student council secretary he always presented himself as. His brows, usually furrowed in focus, were relaxed. His long lashes rested gently against his skin, and his lips, often pressed into a firm line, were now slightly parted.
Even his scent of warm oranges and fresh pine seemed calmer now, no longer edged with irritation or exhaustion.
You swallowed, feeling your heart skip a beat.
Jake had always been handsome, but there was something about seeing him like this, unguarded, peaceful—that made your stomach twist in a way you didn’t quite know how to handle.
The logical part of you knew you had to wake him up. It was already late, and staying like this any longer would only make things worse.
But a part of you, the part that wasn’t ready to let go of this warmth just yet, hesitated.
He just looked so… at peace.
Yet you let out a soft sigh before gently nudging his shoulder. “Jake,” you murmured, voice hushed in the quiet of the library.
He stirred slightly, a low hum escaping him as his lashes fluttered, struggling against the remnants of sleep. His brows furrowed, and he shifted, blinking a few times as if trying to register where he was.
Then, his body tensed.
The realization of just how close you were hit him all at once—your warmth pressed against his side, your head resting against his shoulder, his own head tilted atop yours. His breath hitched as he sat up slightly, eyes widening.
“S—Sorry,” he stammered, rubbing the back of his neck. “I didn’t—I mean, I didn’t mean to—”
You waved a hand, amused. “It’s fine. You looked like you needed that rest.”
Jake blinked, processing your words before exhaling, ruffling his already tousled hair. “Shit… What time is it?”
“Almost six,” you replied, stretching slightly.
His eyes widened slightly as he ran a hand through his hair again, the weight of lost time settling in. “Shit. Did I keep you in here? Don’t you have anything to do?”
You shook your head. “No, there’s a different student covering the night shift," you explained. “Library closes at eight anyway.”
Jake hummed in acknowledgment, but then you sighed, leaning back slightly.
“Great,” you muttered sarcastically.
Jake frowned. “What?”
You huffed. “I have no one to pick me up.”
Jake blinked at you for a moment before tilting his head, expression unreadable. “Huh?”
He didn’t say anything at first, just studying you, but there was something about the way his gaze lingered.
The Alpha tilted his head slightly, brows furrowing in confusion. “Wait, why don’t you just drive?”
You blinked at him before letting out a small laugh, shaking your head. “My car isn't here.”
Jake still looked puzzled. “Don’t you have a driver?”
You sighed, leaning back against the loveseat. “It’s my designated driver’s day off,” you explained. “So, I had to hitch a ride with a friend this morning.”
Jake hummed, nodding slowly, but when you casually mentioned her name, his eyes flickered with surprise.
“Oh,” he said, blinking. “You’re friends with Heeseung’s mate?”
You nodded with a small smile, amused by the way his expression changed, like he was processing that information and filing it away for later. “Yeah,” you replied. “We’ve been close for a while.”
Jake let out a quiet chuckle, shaking his head slightly. “Huh. Small world.”
“You sound surprised,” you teased, raising a brow at him.
He shrugged, a ghost of a smirk playing at his lips. “I mean, kind of? I just didn’t expect it, that’s all.”
“Why?” you asked, tilting your head.
Jake scratched the back of his neck. “I don’t know," he admitted. “It’s just—Heeseung’s mate is usually around him or the others. I’ve never really seen her with you.”
You grinned. “That’s because we hang out outside of school.”
Jake let out an amused huff. “Figures.” He leaned back against the bookshelf, arms crossed. “So, you really have no way of getting home?”
You sighed dramatically, resting your head against the back of the loveseat. “Nope. Stuck here until I figure something out.”
Jake clicked his tongue, shaking his head. “That’s great,” he muttered, his tone laced with sarcasm.
“Right?” you replied, just as sarcastically. “Super great. Love this for me.”
Jake shifted in his seat, hesitating for a moment. You watched as his fingers tapped idly against his arm, his lips pressing into a thin line like he was debating something in his head.
Then, finally, he sighed through his nose and ran a hand through his hair. “I could drive you,” he said, but there was an unusual softness to his voice, like he was testing the waters.
You blinked up at him, caught slightly off guard. “You?”
“Yeah,” he said, but he looked like he was second-guessing himself. “I mean—only if you’re okay with that. If you’d rather call someone else or wait, that’s fine, too.” He shrugged, aiming for nonchalance, but the flicker of uncertainty in his eyes gave him away. “I just figured… it’d be better than being stuck here.”
You hesitated, not because you didn’t want to accept, but because he looked unsure, like he wanted to help but didn’t want to overstep.
A small smile tugged at your lips as you shook your head. “No, I mean—if you’re offering, I won’t say no.”
Jake exhaled, something in his posture easing at your words. “Yeah?”
“Yeah,” you confirmed. “That would actually be really helpful.”
His lips quirked up slightly, and he nodded. “Alright. Let’s get out of here, then.”
Jake stood up from the leather loveseat, stretching his arms slightly before turning to you with a playful glint in his eyes. With an exaggerated gesture, he extended his hand toward you, palm up, and dipped his head slightly.
“After you, (Y/N)—the ever-so-pretty Omega,” he teased, his voice dripping with mock formality.
You laughed, rolling your eyes but still taking his hand as you played along. “Why, thank you, my kind Alpha," you replied, matching his tone with an amused smirk.
As your fingers briefly brushed against his, Jake let out a quiet chuckle, shaking his head. “You’re something else,” he muttered, but there was no bite to his words—only a quiet fondness he wasn’t sure he was ready to acknowledge yet.
As you both stepped outside the hidden reading nook, the warm glow of the setting sun filtered through the library windows. The golden light painted long shadows across the floor, making the whole place feel even more serene.
Just as you reached the front doors, you suddenly stopped and turned to Jake. “Wait here for a second,” you told him, motioning for him to stay put.
Jake furrowed his brows. “Where are you going?”
You pointed toward the reception desk. “I need to grab my bag. I’ll be quick.”
He nodded, leaning casually against the doorframe as he watched you jog over. You made your way to the desk, where the student taking over the night shift was already setting up for her hours ahead. She glanced up as you approached, blinking in surprise before a teasing grin spread across her face.
“So… you and Jake, huh?” she mused, raising a knowing brow as she handed you your bag.
You blinked before letting out a laugh, waving a hand dismissively. “Oh, please,” you scoffed. “It’s not like that.”
She hummed, clearly unconvinced. “Uh-huh. Sure. You do know he’s waiting for you by the door like a damn gentleman, right? That’s Alpha behavior if I’ve ever seen it.”
You rolled your eyes, slinging your bag over your shoulder. “He’s just giving me a ride home. That’s all.”
She smirked, resting her chin on her palm. “Mhm. And I’m just a regular student who doesn’t notice things.”
Shaking your head, you turned away, laughing under your breath. “I’ll see you tomorrow,” you called over your shoulder.
“Tell Jake I said hi,” she teased back, making you shake your head again with a smile as you returned to the entrance.
Jake glanced at you as you rejoined him. “Took you long enough,” he said, though there was no actual bite to his tone.
You rolled your eyes playfully. “Patience, Jake.”
He scoffed, but then reached out, tugging your bag off your shoulder before you could react. “Here, let me.”
You blinked at him. “Jake, I can carry my own bag.”
“I know,” he said easily, slinging it over his own shoulder like it weighed nothing. “But I want to.”
He pushed open the library doors with a smirk. “Let’s get going.”
You only grinned, stepping outside beside him, the air crisp as the last remnants of daylight clung to the sky.
Tumblr media
The car ride home was comfortable, the kind of quiet that wasn’t awkward, just easy. The city lights flickered past as the sky deepened into shades of navy, the last traces of sunset fading beyond the horizon.
You sat snugly in the passenger seat, curled slightly toward Jake as he drove with practiced ease, one hand on the wheel, the other resting casually near the gear shift.
“So, mate,” you said, attempting your best Australian accent, dragging the word out obnoxiously. “Where we headin’, aye?”
Jake nearly choked on his laughter. “Oh my god, what was that?”
“My perfect Aussie impression,” you grinned.
He shot you a look, lips twitching. “That was a crime against my entire country.”
“Oi,” you protested, making your voice deeper. “That’s offensive, innit?”
Jake shook his head, amused. “Now you just sound British.”
You burst into laughter, the sound filling the car. Jake just grinned, shaking his head as he made a turn.
“Take a left up here,” you directed, still giggling.
He followed without question, and as the road stretched out before you, the surroundings became quieter, lined with trees and distant estate homes. Soon, large iron gates loomed ahead.
Jake whistled lowly. “Fancy.”
You snorted, shooting him a look before gesturing around the car’s sleek interior. “Oh, please. Stop acting like you’re not used to the same lifestyle.”
Jake smirked, drumming his fingers against the wheel. “Okay, fair point,” he admitted. “But you have to admit, this is some next-level rich.”
You rolled your eyes playfully. “Says the guy driving a literal sports car.”
Jake chuckled, tapping the wheel. “Touché.”
The soft purr of the engine filled the space as the car eased forward, headlights illuminating the long road ahead. Soon, the massive gates loomed before you, standing tall and pristine under the dimming sky.
Jake took it in, lips quirking. “Still fancy.”
You hummed, reaching for the intercom, but at the last second, an idea sparked. You smirked and leaned back. “You do it.”
Jake raised a brow. “Me?”
You nodded, barely holding back a grin. “Just say… special delivery.”
He gave you a look, but the amusement in his eyes was unmistakable. With a small shake of his head, he rolled down the window and pressed the call button. A second later, a static click sounded.
“Special delivery,” Jake said smoothly, voice rich with amusement.
There was a brief pause—then, with a soft beep, the gates creaked open.
You burst out laughing, leaning back in your seat. Jake just shook his head as he pulled forward, a chuckle slipping past his lips.
“I don’t know what’s worse,” he mused. “That it actually worked or that you set me up for it.”
“You just have that kind of voice,” you teased, still grinning.
Jake smirked, flicking his gaze toward you. “Oh yeah? You like my voice that much?”
You groaned, reaching over to shove his arm. “Drive, Sim.”
As the gates opened fully, Jake eased the car forward, and the moment you passed through, the estate unfolded before him like something straight out of a movie.
The long driveway was paved with smooth cobblestone, flanked by lush, towering trees that cast intricate shadows beneath the soft glow of vintage-style street lamps.
Vibrant flower beds lined the path, a carefully curated mix of imported and native flora blooming in perfect harmony. The air smelled fresh, carried by the evening breeze.
Jake let out a low whistle as he took in the sight, his fingers drumming against the wheel. “Alright, I take it back. This is next-level rich.”
You smirked, watching his expression shift as you approached the heart of the estate. “Mhmm.”
The trees eventually gave way to a pristine white mansion that stood tall against the twilight sky. The grand structure was illuminated by soft golden lights, casting a warm glow against the cool evening.
Right in the middle of the circular driveway, a massive, intricately designed fountain stood proudly, water cascading from its tiers in a soothing rhythm.
Jake’s gaze flicked to the various luxury and imported sports cars parked carelessly around the front, some you recognized as your family’s, others belonging to guests or relatives who were likely visiting.
At that, Jake let out a scoff, shaking his head with an amused smile. “Okay, now this just reminds me of our house.”
You hummed, tilting your head slightly as you glanced at him. “Told you.”
He snorted. “Our parents really went all out, didn’t they?”
“They always do.” You sighed, leaning back into your seat. “Big houses, big cars, big expectations.”
Jake glanced at you briefly before turning back to the road, guiding the car toward the entrance. “Yeah,” he murmured, voice softer. “Big everything.”
There was a moment of silence, the quiet hum of the car filling the space.
Then, in true Jake fashion, he smirked. “But, to be fair, at least we’re not the ones worrying about car maintenance.”
You let out a laugh, shaking your head. “Small mercies, Sim. Small mercies.”
Before you could even reach for the door handle, Jake suddenly clicked his tongue. “Nope.”
You blinked at him just as he unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out in one swift motion. His door shut with a quiet thud, and within seconds, he was already rounding the front of the car, effortlessly smooth as always.
The moment he pulled open the passenger door for you, he grinned. “Go on, princess. Fancy estates require fancy treatment.”
You huffed a laugh, shaking your head in amusement as you took his offered hand and stepped out onto the driveway. “You’re insufferable, you know that?”
“And yet, you keep me around,” he quipped, the corners of his eyes crinkling with that familiar, boyish smile.
Before you could fire back a response, the large wooden doors of the mansion suddenly swung open. The warm glow of the foyer lights spilled onto the marble steps, casting long shadows across the pristine entryway.
Standing in the doorway was your mother, poised yet undeniably elegant, dressed in a silk blouse and tailored pants. The usual sharpness in her gaze was softened, just slightly—with both worry and amusement as her eyes flickered between you and Jake, who was still casually holding your hand.
Her lips quirked up the slightest bit. “Well,” she mused, arms crossing. “It seems you’ve had quite the evening.”
Jake, ever the charmer, straightened up, offering a polite yet playful smile. “Good evening, Mrs. (L/N),” he greeted smoothly, his posture changing into something more formal yet undeniably confident.
You, on the other hand, simply sighed and shot him a look before turning to your mother. “Mom, please don’t start.”
Your mother let out a light laugh, though her eyes still held traces of concern. “I wasn’t going to.” Then, her gaze flickered to Jake’s sleek black sports car parked in the driveway. “I suppose I should be grateful you didn’t arrive in something flashier, Mr. Sim.”
Jake blinked, momentarily caught off guard. “Wait, how do you know me?”
Your mother let out a soft laugh, her eyes twinkling with amusement. “Oh, Jake, dear. I’ve known you since you were in diapers.”
You and Jake exchanged equally confused glances before looking back at her.
Your mother smirked knowingly. “Your parents and I have been friends for years. We see each other at events all the time. I’m surprised you haven’t noticed.”
Jake scoffed in disbelief, rubbing the back of his neck. “Huh. Well, that’s news to me.” Then, he turned to you, raising a brow. “Did you know about this?”
You simply shrugged. “Nope.”
Jake let out an amused chuckle, shaking his head. “Figures.”
Your mother, still thoroughly entertained, placed a hand on her hip. “Well, now that we’ve established that, how about you join us for dinner? I’m sure you’ve had a long day.”
Jake straightened slightly, shifting into that polite, well-mannered version of himself that only surfaced in formal settings. “I appreciate the offer, ma’am,” he said smoothly, voice respectful but firm. “But my parents are expecting me back home soon.”
Your mother hummed, nodding in understanding. “That’s a shame. Maybe next time, then.”
“Definitely,” Jake agreed with a small grin before turning back to you. “I’ll see you tomorrow?”
You nodded, offering him a small smile. “Yeah. Drive safe, Jake.”
He gave you a two-finger salute before slipping back into his sleek black sports car. The engine purred to life, the sound low and smooth, as he backed out of the pristine driveway.
You didn’t move, not even when the taillights faded into the distance. You waited until his car was completely out of sight before finally turning toward the open doorway.
The moment you stepped inside, your mother wasted no time.
“So,” she drawled, shutting the door behind you with a smirk that spelled nothing but trouble. “Jake Sim, huh?”
You sighed. “Mom.”
“What?” she asked, feigning innocence as she followed you further into the house. “He’s handsome. And he clearly dotes on you.”
“Mom.”
“Oh, and the way he opened the door for you? Adorable.”
You sighed dramatically, running a hand through your hair as you kicked off your shoes by the entrance. “Mom, I just met him—literally today.”
Your mother raised a perfectly manicured brow, crossing her arms over her chest as she leaned against the grand staircase railing. The warm chandelier light made the gold accents of her jewelry glint as she smirked at you. “Well, he certainly doesn’t act like it,” she quipped. “That boy was looking at you like an Alpha who’s been courting you for years.”
Your jaw dropped. “Mom! That is not—”
She cut you off with a knowing laugh, waving a dismissive hand. “Oh, sweetheart, please. The way he opened your door? The way he stood just a little too close while you were talking?” She shook her head with mock disbelief. “And you’re telling me you just met?”
You groaned, dragging a hand down your face. “I swear, you’re worse than Dad.”
Your mom gasped dramatically, placing a hand over her heart. “Excuse me?” Then, with a knowing smile, she added, “Speaking of your father, I’m pretty sure he’d approve of Jake.”
You stared at her, utterly exasperated. “Oh my god.”
She grinned. “What? He’s well-mannered, respectful, and from a good family. Plus, he drives a nice car. You know how your father feels about cars.”
You groaned louder, turning on your heel. “I’m going to bed before you start planning our wedding.”
“Oh, don’t tempt me!” she called out, amusement laced in her voice. Then, just as you reached your door, she added, “You'd make a cute pair, don’t you think?”
You slammed your door shut as her laughter echoed down the hall.
Tumblr media
Lunch had just begun, and the halls buzzed with the usual midday energy, students spilling out of classrooms, voices overlapping, shoes scuffing against the polished floors. Jake walked alongside his usual group, all casually making their way toward the cafeteria.
“Man, I am starving,” Jay groaned, stretching his arms. “What’s for lunch today?”
“Something fancy, probably,” Sunghoon replied with a shrug. “They said it’s steak.”
Ni-ki perked up at that. “Oh, hell yeah.”
“I hope it’s actually good steak,” Sunoo chimed in, adjusting his bag strap. “Not the rubbery kind they sometimes serve.”
The group chuckled, but Jake wasn’t paying much attention. His hands were tucked into his pockets, his gaze subtly scanning the hallway. It wasn’t obvious, he wasn’t desperate or anything, but he noticed the lack of a certain presence.
You weren’t there. It was weird. He hadn’t even known you for that long, yet your absence was noticeable.
His phone remained silent in his pocket, no texts or missed calls from you.
“Hey, we’re going,” Jungwon called over his shoulder as the group neared the cafeteria entrance.
Jake hesitated. “Actually,” he said, slowing his steps, “I need to finish up some paperwork. I’ll eat later.”
That got their attention.
Sunoo immediately narrowed his eyes. “You always say that.”
“Yeah, bro, what’s new?” Heeseung added, shaking his head.
Jay sighed, already tired. “Dude, just go. We all know you won’t eat properly if you’re buried in council work.”
“Exactly,” Sunghoon agreed. “We’d rather deal with you now than later when you’re sleep-deprived and grumpy.”
Jake waved them off lazily. “Yeah, yeah,” he shot them a grin before turning in the opposite direction. But instead of heading toward the council office, he found himself walking toward the library.
The moment he stepped inside, the atmosphere was different, it was quieter, calmer, with the faint scent of books in the air. His sharp eyes scanned the room, expecting to find you tucked away in your usual corner.
But you weren’t there.
He frowned slightly.
Instead, his gaze landed on the student librarian at the front desk, the same one who had seen you leaving with him last night. She noticed him instantly, and before he could even say a word, a slow, knowing grin stretched across her face.
Jake narrowed his eyes. He already didn’t like that look. “Where is she?” he asked, his tone neutral but firm.
The grin only widened. “Oh? Looking for someone, Sim?”
Jake exhaled sharply, unimpressed. “Her classroom. What floor?”
The student hummed, resting her chin on her palm. “And why would I tell you that?”
Jake leveled her with a flat stare. “Because I’m asking nicely.”
She clicked her tongue, dragging out the moment just to mess with him.
“Third floor,” she finally relented, her grin turning smug. “Room 3-A.”
Jake didn’t waste another second. Without another word, he turned on his heel, already making his way out.
But even as he left, he could still hear her barely suppressed laughter behind him.
Tumblr media
Jake wasn’t the type to go looking for people. If anything, people usually came looking for him, whether it was for council matters, social obligations, or just random confessions.
But today, instead of heading to lunch with the boys, he found himself climbing the stairs to the third floor, hands tucked into his pockets.
The student librarian had given him your classroom number with an all-too-knowing grin, and now, standing outside the door to Room 3-A, he was met with a scene that made him pause.
You were surrounded.
Not just by one or two people, but by half the classroom. Some perched on desks, others standing, leaning in with animated grins as they listened intently to whatever you were saying.
Laughter echoed through the space, loud and infectious. It wasn’t just that you were well-liked, it was that you owned the room without even trying.
The crowd, the attention, the way people gravitated toward you—it wasn’t new. And yet, as his eyes settled on you, a thought crept into his mind.
Did you even notice him standing there?
But then, as if you could sense him, your gaze snapped toward the doorway.
And suddenly, the noise faded into the background.
Despite being completely engrossed in conversation, despite the people practically surrounding you, your focus changed entirely. Your lips, still curled mid-laugh, softened into something more curious.
Jake hadn’t even taken a full step inside before you were already pushing yourself up from your seat, murmuring brief apologies to your friends as you effortlessly slipped through the crowd.
You reached him within seconds, tilting your head with a knowing smile. “Didn’t see you in the library.”
Jake’s lips twitched. “Yeah, well. That’s ‘cause you weren’t there.”
A teasing glint flashed in your eyes. “So you were looking for me.”
He scoffed lightly, shaking his head. “Something like that.”
Behind you, a whistle cut through the air. “Damn,” one of your classmates muttered. “Didn’t think Sim was into you.”
Jake didn’t acknowledge the comment, but he didn’t need to. You rolled your eyes before half-turning to shoot them an unimpressed look. “Oh, shut up.”
When you turned back, Jake was still watching you.
His gaze flickered over your face, assessing, before he finally tilted his head slightly. “You free?”
You blinked. “For?”
“Lunch.”
A beat of silence. Then—
“You’re inviting me to lunch?” you asked, amusement evident in your tone.
Jake smirked, rocking back on his heels. “I know. Big honor.”
You scoffed, playfully smacking his arm. “You’re such an idiot.”
“Maybe.” He nodded toward the door. “C’mon.”
You exhaled through your nose, shaking your head slightly before casting a glance over your shoulder—because, of course, your classmates were still very much watching. Some wore wide grins, others exchanged glances, and a few were whispering among themselves.
“Guess I’ll be back later,” you announced, sending them a wink before turning back to Jake.
And just like that, he was leading you out the door, the sound of hushed murmurs and not-so-subtle giggles trailing behind you.
The cafeteria was alive with the hum of conversation, the clatter of trays, and the occasional burst of laughter from groups of students huddled around their tables. The sheer size of the place should have made it feel open, but with the lunchtime rush in full swing, it felt like everyone was packed in shoulder to shoulder.
Jake barely hesitated before placing his hand on the small of your back again, guiding you through the crowd with effortless ease. It was instinctual, like he had to make sure you weren’t swallowed up in the mass of students.
The heat of his touch seeped through the thin fabric of your uniform, grounding and steady, but most of all, familiar.
You didn’t move away.
You didn’t want to.
If anything, your body naturally gravitated closer to him, and that realization alone sent a rush of warmth to your cheeks.
Jake, of course, was completely unbothered. He wasn’t even looking at you, his gaze flickered across the cafeteria, scanning the area, before muttering, “You’d think with a cafeteria this big, it wouldn’t feel so cramped.”
His voice was casual, like he wasn’t currently touching you like it was second nature.
You swallowed, trying to will away the warmth creeping up your neck. “What, don’t tell me you’re scared of a little crowd, Sim?”
Jake scoffed, glancing at you with a smirk. “Scared? No. Annoyed? Absolutely.”
You chuckled, shaking your head. “Such a prince, huh? What’s next? Gonna demand a private table?”
“Don’t tempt me.”
You gave him a look, lips twitching. “Wow. I thought you were the chill one in your group.”
Jake placed a hand over his chest, feigning offense. “I am chill.”
You raised a brow. “You’re literally guiding me through a cafeteria like we’re dodging landmines.”
He shot you a lazy grin. “That’s not me being not chill. That’s me making sure you don’t trip over some random first year’s backpack.”
You snorted. “Sure, Sim. Whatever you say.”
The line moved forward, and Jake’s hand, still warm and very much there, pressed just slightly, nudging you along with him.
The air between you two was light, playful, but underlined with something else, something neither of you was fully acknowledging yet.
Jake didn’t remove his hand, and you… well, you let him.
The line continued moving, and when you finally reached the food counter, he casually leaned in a little closer. “What are you getting?” The way his voice dipped slightly, like he was asking something personal, made your stomach flip.
You blinked, shaking yourself out of it. “Uh. Probably just whatever they have today.”
Jake raised a brow, amused. “That’s not very specific.”
You shrugged. “I’m not picky.”
He gave you a knowing look. “Right. I’ll believe that when I see it.”
You turned to him, narrowing your eyes. “And what’s that supposed to mean?”
Jake only smirked, looking far too smug for your liking. “Nothing, nothing.”
“No, say it.” You crossed your arms, facing him fully now.
He exhaled a laugh, tilting his head slightly. “I just feel like you have your little food preferences. Probably avoid certain textures. Maybe you don’t like overly salty stuff?”
You blinked. “…Okay, but how do you know that?”
Jake’s smirk widened. “So I am right?”
You clicked your tongue, rolling your eyes, but there was no real annoyance in it. If anything, the fact that he’d picked up on something so small about you after barely a day of knowing you was a little too endearing.
Jake, on the other hand, looked very pleased with himself.
The two of you finally reached the counter, and just as you were about to grab a tray, Jake casually plucked one up first—then handed it to you.
His fingers barely brushed against yours, but it was enough to send a jolt of awareness through your entire arm.
Your breath hitched.
Jake, however, was unfazed. “See? Not picky, but definitely predictable.”
You scoffed, snatching the tray from his hands. “I hate you.”
Jake just grinned. “Nah, you don’t.”
And damn it, he was right.
The two of you moved through the rest of the line with that same easy back-and-forth, Jake making little comments about your food choices while you shot back with equally teasing remarks. By the time you had your trays and turned toward the seating area, you realized something—
Most of the tables were already packed.
Clusters of students filled every available space, some standing and chatting with friends, others laughing loudly, their voices echoing through the massive cafeteria.
Jake scanned the room briefly, his sharp eyes flicking over the crowd before they landed on a relatively empty table tucked into a corner near one of the large windows. He didn’t hesitate—just placed his free hand on the small of your back again and guided you toward it without a word.
Your breath caught for a split second, but you didn’t pull away.
It was so effortless, the way he touched you—like he’d done it a million times before, like it was just natural for him to steer you through a crowded space. The warmth of his palm against your lower back was firm but not forceful, steadying yet entirely casual.
And the worst part?
You liked it.
Maybe a little too much.
You felt your face heating up again, but before you could dwell on it, Jake spoke.
“Looks like the guys disappeared on me,” he mused as you both reached the table, setting his tray down before pulling out a chair for you.
The gesture was so smooth, so instinctive, that it took you a second to react.
You blinked at him. “…Are you always this much of a gentleman?”
Jake let out a soft chuckle, his lips curling into a smirk as he leaned slightly over the chair. “Only for people who don’t make me carry both our trays.”
You rolled your eyes, but a small smile tugged at your lips as you sat down. “I could’ve carried my own, you know.”
Jake simply shrugged, taking his seat across from you. “Sure. But where’s the fun in that?”
You huffed a laugh, shaking your head before picking up your utensils. “Anyway, maybe your friends just assumed you’d be too busy drowning in council work to eat. You are kind of a workaholic.”
Jake raised an eyebrow as he unwrapped his utensils. “Oh? And you know this how?”
You gave him a pointed look. “You just told me earlier that you literally ditched them earlier by saying you had to ‘finish up papers.’”
Jake exhaled through his nose, shaking his head. “Technically, I didn’t lie. I do have papers to go through later.”
You snorted. “Right. And you just so happened to show up at my classroom instead.”
Jake’s eyes gleamed with amusement as he took a casual bite of his food. “Just a coincidence.”
You narrowed your eyes. “Mhm. Sure.”
He grinned. “What, can’t a guy take a break and conveniently end up where you are?”
Your fork paused midair.
The teasing lilt in his voice was undeniable, but there was something else there, something almost too deliberate in the way he said it. Like he wanted you to catch it. Like he was testing the waters.
And the worst part? It was working.
You quickly stuffed a bite of food into your mouth to distract from the way your stomach flipped at his words.
Jake just chuckled, clearly entertained by your reaction.
The two of you ate in comfortable silence for a moment, the chatter of the cafeteria buzzing around you. The corner you’d picked was quieter, a little more secluded, with sunlight streaming through the large windows beside you. It was… oddly peaceful.
Then, out of nowhere, Jake spoke again.
“I meant what I said, by the way.”
You glanced up, chewing slowly. “…About what?”
His eyes held yours. “That I don’t mind this.”
You swallowed. “This?”
Jake rested his elbow on the table, propping his chin up with his hand. “Eating with you.”
Your heartbeat stuttered.
It was such a simple statement, but the way he said it, the way he looked at you when he did—yeah, you were in trouble.
You quickly looked down at your plate, pretending to focus on your food.
Instead of commenting, he just smiled to himself, shaking his head slightly before picking up his fork again.
But the knowing glint in his eyes told you otherwise.
And damn it, you had a feeling he knew exactly what he was doing to you.
Tumblr media
The afternoon sun stretched golden across the field, casting a warm glow over the wide expanse of green. A light breeze rustled through the trees, carrying the crisp scent of grass and the faintest traces of sweat as Jake and Sunghoon tossed the football back and forth.
It was their free period, a rare chance to unwind and let their inner Alphas stretch a little without the weight of expectations pressing down on them.
Jake rolled his shoulders, catching the ball with ease before spinning it in his hands. “Think you can handle a real pass this time?”
Sunghoon scoffed, adjusting his stance. “Think you can throw one?”
Jake smirked, cocking his arm back and sending the ball soaring through the air—
But the second it left his hands, so did every ounce of his focus.
Your scent.
It drifted through the open halls beside the field, laced with something warm that settled into his chest like second nature. Jake’s head turned on instinct, drawn toward the source before he could even process why.
And there you were.
Walking side by side with Jungwon’s mate, your laughter trailing through the breeze.
Jake barely registered the thud of the football landing in Sunghoon’s grip. His attention was fixed entirely on you, the way you were so effortlessly blending into his world without even trying.
He felt something shift inside him, soft, warm, and dangerously easy to get used to.
Because it wasn’t just that it was you, though that alone was enough to mess with his pulse. It was the fact that you were comfortable, that you were talking and laughing with Jungwon’s mate, someone who had already been claimed, someone who was already part of the pack in a way that felt permanent.
And for some reason, seeing you like this, seeing you so naturally fall into step with people who had already been solidified in his life, it made something deep inside him settle.
Like a puzzle piece clicking into place. Like you belonged here.
Sunghoon’s voice barely cut through his daze. “Finally, a decent throw.”
Jake blinked, shaking himself out of it, but the warmth in his chest didn’t fade.
His hand twitched at his side, itching to reach for something, to act on something—but he didn’t even know what. His Alpha stirred, entirely content just from the sight of you.
He swallowed thickly. Then, suddenly, he was moving.
“I gotta—” Jake’s voice came out rushed, unsteady, as he took a step back. “Bathroom.”
Sunghoon didn’t even glance at him, too busy tossing the ball in the air. “Sure, whatever.”
Jake was already halfway across the field, already walking toward you.
The moment Jake started walking, he knew there was no stopping himself.
It wasn’t a conscious decision, his body just moved, drawn toward you like an invisible force had wrapped itself around his chest and tugged.
You hadn’t even noticed him yet, too caught up in whatever conversation you were having. Your expression was relaxed, your smile easy. The sight made something in Jake unravel, it was stupid, really, how soft he felt over something so simple.
But then, as if you could feel him coming, you glanced up.
Your eyes met his, and Jake swore he felt his heart stumble. Recognition flashed across your face, quickly followed by a small, surprised smile. “Jake?”
Jungwon’s mate turned as well, blinking in confusion. “Oh, hey! What are you doing here?”
Jake barely acknowledged her, his attention locked solely on you. “Free period,” he said, voice smooth but just a little quieter than usual. “I was training with Sunghoon.”
Your gaze flickered past him toward the field, where Sunghoon was still casually tossing the football in the air, completely unbothered.
“And now?” you asked, tilting your head.
Jake huffed a small breath, as if he hadn’t just abandoned practice the second he caught your scent. “Now I’m here.”
You raised an eyebrow. “For?”
Jake hesitated for half a second, then shrugged, a lopsided smirk tugging at his lips. “For you.”
Your breath hitched just slightly, but Jake caught it. And so did his inner Alpha, the presence inside him practically preening at the reaction.
Jungwon’s mate, completely noticing the tension settling between you two, let out a knowing hum. “Well, that’s my cue to leave.” She shot you a teasing look before waving. “See you later!”
You barely managed a nod before they slipped away, leaving you and Jake standing there, just looking at each other.
For a moment, neither of you spoke.
Then, slowly, Jake took another step closer, close enough that your scent wrapped around him fully. Close enough that he could see the faint pink dusting your cheeks, the way your fingers twitched slightly at your sides.
“Where are you headed?” he asked, his voice smooth, casual. Like he wasn’t completely invading your plans right now.
You tried to answer. Really, you did. But your brain was malfunctioning.
Because—goddamn.
Jake wasn’t in his usual navy blazer, and the absence of it shouldn’t have been this distracting, but it was. His white button-up was slightly rumpled, the top few buttons left undone, exposing just a hint of skin. His tie was loosened around his neck, his sleeves lazily rolled up to his elbows, and worst of all—his scent was stronger than ever.
The crisp bite of pine mixed with the warmth of oranges, fresh and intoxicating, like stepping into the woods after a summer rain. It wrapped around you, pulled you in, made your head feel lighter..
You swallowed, forcing your eyes forward before you got caught staring. “Uh—” Get it together, damn it. “Library.”
Jake hummed, slipping his hands into his pockets as he walked beside you. “Studying?”
“Something like that,” you muttered, still trying to focus on walking and not the way his arm brushed yours every now and then.
Jake glanced at you out of the corner of his eye, that ever-present smirk tugging at his lips. “You okay?”
No. Absolutely not.
But you weren’t about to admit that.
“Yeah,” you said, clearing your throat. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
Jake tilted his head slightly, amusement flickering in his gaze. “No reason. You just seem… distracted.”
You almost scowled. He knew. Of course he knew. His Alpha was probably reveling in it, preening at the fact that his scent was affecting you this much.
“Must be the heat,” you lied, pressing your lips together.
Jake exhaled a quiet laugh, low and knowing. “Yeah,” he murmured, voice dipping just enough to make your pulse jump.
The Alpha barely gave you a second to react before he was reaching for the books in your arms, smoothly plucking them from your grasp like they weren’t heavy at all.
“Jake—” You blinked, startled.
“You look like you’re about to drop these,” he said simply, adjusting the books against his hip with one arm. The other hand went to your shoulder, sliding the strap of your very, very girly bag off like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Your mouth opened, then closed. “Jake, that’s—”
He swung the bag onto his shoulder without even flinching.
It was pastel. It had bows. A tiny stuffed bear keychain dangled from the zipper, and the fabric smelled very obviously like you.
Jake didn’t even blink.
You, on the other hand, were short-circuiting. “What,” you finally choked out.
Jake peered down at you, unfazed. “What?”
You pointed, staring at the bag hanging on his shoulder. “That.”
He shrugged, completely unbothered. “What about it?”
“Jake, you’re holding my bag.”
Another shrug. “And?”
You stared at him. “It has bows.”
Jake smirked. “Cute.”
Your brain stopped functioning. “It’s pink.”
“Your point?”
You inhaled sharply, your hands flying up in exasperation. “You don’t care?”
Jake raised a brow. “Why would I?”
You huffed, actually huffed as you let your arms fall to your sides. “Because—because you’re literally walking around like that, unbothered, like you don’t have my pink, bow-covered, stuffed-animal-having bag slung over your shoulder—”
Jake leaned down a little, smirking. “Would it bother you if I cared?”
You gaped at him, caught completely off guard.
You hated how easily he did that, how easily he could flip the entire conversation on its head and make you feel ridiculous for even bringing it up.
“No,” you muttered, pressing your lips together. “It wouldn’t.”
Jake chuckled. “Then it’s not a problem, is it?”
And just like that, he straightened up, walking like he wasn’t carrying an entire armful of your things, including your very feminine, very obvious bag.
You? You were still recovering.
And somehow, you just knew, from the way Jake’s scent curled around you in smug amusement, from the way his lips kept twitching at your stunned silence—yeah, he was enjoying every second of this.
Jake didn’t even spare a glance back toward the field. Whatever Sunghoon was thinking, probably something along the lines of: where the hell did he go?
He should have gone back. He should have at least tossed Sunghoon a quick text to say he got caught up. But the moment he saw you, saw the way you were laughing with Jungwon’s mate, saw the way the sunlight hit your face just right, any thought of returning to training vanished.
Sunghoon would figure it out. Eventually.
Tumblr media
The next day, the moment the final bell rang, the hallway buzzed with noise, students shuffling to their lockers, conversations overlapping, and plans forming for the rest of the afternoon.
Jake stretched his arms above his head, rolling his shoulders as he walked alongside Heeseung. “Man, I need something sweet,” Heeseung muttered, eyes glued to his phone. “Let’s stop by the café real quick before we head back.”
Jake hummed in agreement, barely listening. His hands were shoved in his pockets, steps lazy and unhurried, until he saw you.
You stood by your locker, fingers moving as you fixed your books and reorganized your things. Strands of hair fell over your face as you reached up to adjust the top shelf, completely unaware of the way Jake’s attention had locked onto you like a magnet.
Like his feet had a mind of their own, walking past you wasn’t an option. He lifted a hand, waving Heeseung off without a word.
Heeseung, still distracted by whatever was on his phone, just nodded absentmindedly. “Yeah, yeah, whatever.”
Jake took that as his cue and started walking.
He changed course, slipping away so smoothly it was like he had never been walking beside Heeseung in the first place. Within seconds, he was ten feet away from where they had been.
Heeseung didn’t even notice.
Jake stopped right beside you, leaning casually against the lockers. “Need some help?”
You glanced up, slightly startled. “Jake? What happened to—weren’t you with Heeseung?”
Jake smirked. “Was I?”
You blinked. “…Yes?”
Jake just shrugged, reaching out and taking the book you were about to shove into your bag. Without hesitation, he slung your very girly, very bow-covered bag over his shoulder like it was nothing. The sight of it against his unbuttoned navy blazer, his loosened navy tie, and the lazy confidence in his stance, was almost comical.
You narrowed your eyes at him. “Jake.”
“Hm?”
“You ditched him.”
His grin was shameless. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Jake—”
“Come on,” he cut in smoothly, already turning to walk with you. “Where are you headed?”
You huffed, shutting your locker. “The student council room.”
Jake raised a brow, a flicker of curiosity crossing his features. “Huh. Didn’t know you were suddenly on council duty.”
You shot him a look. “I’m not. Our class treasurer forgot to submit a report on the budget, so I’m doing it.”
His expression changed, something playful settling in his gaze. “And you didn’t ask me for help?”
You rolled your eyes, hugging the folder to your chest. “Jake, you’re the secretary, not the treasurer. Big difference.”
“Still part of it,” he argued, effortlessly matching your pace as you navigated through the crowded hall. “I could’ve at least made sure you weren’t running around like this.”
You scoffed, but before you could respond, you felt the warmth of his hand press lightly against the small of your back. It was a barely-there touch, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Your breath hitched.
Jake, of course, didn’t seem fazed at all. If anything, he was acting like this was normal. Like the heat of his palm wasn’t sending a strange sort of static along your spine.
“What?” he mused, tilting his head slightly when he noticed you stiffen. “Crowded hall. Don’t want you getting lost.”
You swallowed hard, pressing your lips together as you forced yourself to keep walking.
Meanwhile, a few feet behind, Heeseung who had been completely occupied with his phone, glanced up, only to find that Jake had completely disappeared.
His brows furrowed as he scanned the hallway, but all he could see was a familiar fluff of brown hair moving through the crowd.
Heeseung sighed through his nose, shaking his head. “Unbelievable.”
Tumblr media
The student council room was unusually silent.
No soft hum of pages flipping, no quiet muttering as Jake worked through his usual mountain of files, no fresh scent of coffee filling the air like it always did in the morning.
Just… quietness.
Jay walked in first, balancing his drink in one hand, fingers lazily tapping against his phone with the other. "He’s already here, right?" He barely glanced up, expecting the usual scene: Jake at his desk, half-buried in council paperwork, looking vaguely annoyed that they weren’t being as productive as him.
Ni-ki didn’t even bother looking around. "Duh. Jake’s always here first."
Except, Jake wasn’t there.
Jay froze mid-step, blinking at the empty desk. “Wait.” He frowned. “Where the hell is he?”
Ni-ki finally looked up from his phone, expecting Jay to be overreacting, only for his eyes to land on something even weirder, a stack of neatly arranged documents, sitting untouched on Jake’s desk.
It was done.
All of it. Every single piece of work Jake should've been doing this morning had already been signed, stapled, and sorted.
Jay exhaled through his nose, taking a slow sip of his drink. “Okay. So, either he pulled an all-nighter and got his work done ahead of time…” He trailed off before exchanging a look with Ni-ki.
“…Or he figured out how to clone himself,” Ni-ki deadpanned, poking the paperwork like it might vanish into thin air. “Either way, this is freaky.”
Jay barely acknowledged the joke, still staring at the empty seat. “No, but seriously. Where is he?”
Meanwhile, a few blocks away; Jake didn’t even bother looking up as the café door chimed, signaling more students coming in. He barely acknowledged the low murmurs around them, the not-so-subtle glances.
His focus was elsewhere. More specifically, on you.
You were curled slightly forward, fiddling with your drink, your hand resting on his blazer, which was draped across your lap.
He had thrown the blazer over you without a second thought—didn’t even say anything, just casually shrugged it off and placed it there.
Not that you noticed. You were too busy fuming about your morning.
“I mean, seriously,” you huffed, stirring your drink aggressively. “What kind of professor makes a deadline 7 AM sharp? That should be illegal. There should be laws.”
Jake hummed, lazily adjusting the girly pink bag that was currently on his lap. “So you did it last-minute.”
You shot the pureblooded Alpha a look. “No, because if I finished it early, I wouldn’t be this pissed off about it.”
Jake smirked. “Right. So you did do it last-minute.”
You groaned, pressing your forehead against the table dramatically. “Okay, fine, maybe I did finish it at, like, 3 AM, but that’s beside the point.”
Jake took a slow sip of his drink, watching you. “No, I think that’s exactly the point.” His voice was smoother now, teasing. “You could’ve just asked for my help, you know.”
Your head snapped up. “Oh, please. Like I’d let Mr. Secretary do my work for me.”
Jake huffed out a small laugh. “Yeah, but you let me carry your bag.”
You didn’t even blink. “And?”
Jake blinked back.
Because, yeah, he’d been expecting at least some kind of reaction. A scoff, an eye-roll, maybe even a muttered whatever, Sim. But instead, you looked at him like this was just normal. Like him carrying your pink, ribbon-covered, unmistakably girly bag was something he’d done a hundred times before.
Which, now that he thought about it, he kinda had.
Your omega practically preened at the thought.
It felt natural. Comforting.
Like it belonged there, like he belonged there.
And if Jake noticed the way your lips pressed together like you were fighting back a smile? No, he didn’t. Not at all.
Tumblr media
Mornings in the council room were always the same. Papers shuffled, chairs scraped against the floor, low murmurs filled the air as the student council members moved through their routine and Jake’s coffee—always lingered in the air, a signal that their secretary had already buried himself in work before anyone else arrived.
Except today, the room smelled normal.
No coffee, no Jake.
Jungwon, seated at his own desk near the window, skimmed through a proposal, his brows furrowed in concentration. Sunoo, half-awake and nursing his iced americano like his life depended on it, peeked up at the clock.
Ni-ki, on the other hand, had been watching the entrance for the past five minutes.
“Where’s golden boy?” he finally muttered, leaning back in his chair, spinning his pen between his fingers.
Jay, sitting at his own table across from Jungwon, barely spared him a glance. “No clue. Probably overslept.”
Heeseung, who had his feet propped up on his desk, scoffed. “Jake? Oversleep? Yeah, right.”
Sunghoon, who had been absentmindedly flipping through his phone, glanced up, unimpressed. “Maybe he finally decided to quit and live a stress-free life. About time.”
The words had barely left his mouth when the door swung open.
Jake strolled in, hands tucked into his pockets, his usual crisp blazer nowhere to be found. The loosened navy tie around his neck hung effortlessly, and his hair was slightly tousled like he’d been outside for too long.
The Alpha wasn't rushed, not groggy, just calm.
And that was already weird: Jake never looked this relaxed in the morning.
Jay barely lifted his head, but his eyes narrowed.
Heeseung blinked, sitting up slightly. Jungwon paused mid-page turn. Sunoo finally looked up from his drink.
Jake, however, didn’t spare them a single glance.
He just walked straight to his desk, set his bag down, and smiled.
Not his usual morning scowl, not the slightly annoyed expression they were used to, and that alone was enough to make the entire room go quiet.
And then—
“You reek of an omega.” Sunghoon’s voice cut through the silence, lazy but pointed.
Jake didn’t even look up, he didn’t tense, he didn’t acknowledge it. He just shrugged. “New perfume.”
Jay immediately put his pen down.
Sunoo, blinking, looked at Jungwon, then at Jake again. Ni-ki, having just taken a sip of his drink, nearly choked.
“Perfume?” Jungwon repeated, skeptical.
“Yeah,” Jake hummed, still not looking at them. “Wanted to try something different.”
And honestly, it would’ve been believable.
Jake wore cologne. That much was true. But not this. Not this soft. It wasn’t sharp like his usual clean, expensive scent.
It was warmer. Like honey and seawater, subtle but distinct, the kind of scent that only clung to someone when they’d been too close to an omega for too long.
And in a room filled with pureblooded alphas, it wasn’t something that went unnoticed.
But instead of calling him out, Sunghoon just exhaled through his nose, letting it slide. If some omega had thrown themselves at Jake this morning, it wasn’t exactly surprising.
“Damn,” Ni-ki muttered, shaking his head in amusement. “Didn’t know you had a confession today.”
Jake, finally glancing up, raised a brow. “Huh?”
Sunoo smirked. “The omega. They were all over you, weren’t they?”
Jake just rolled his eyes. “I don’t know what you guys are talking about.”
But Jay just stared. Because while the others were making their own assumptions, he noticed things.
Like the way Jake’s shoulders were too loose, the way his usually sharp morning glare had been replaced by something almost smug. The way his fingers lingered just a second longer when he reached for his pen.
Jake was weirdly comfortable, and Jay had a feeling it wasn’t because of some random omega.
It was someone specific. It wouldn't take a genius to acknowledge the fact that his scent was all over a specific omega just as much as theirs was all over him.
Tumblr media
That same day, the council room was missing something.
Or rather—someone.
Jungwon tapped a pen against his desk, lips pressing into a thin line as his gaze swept across the room. The usual members were in their usual places, some sorting through reports, others murmuring among themselves. But one chair, in particular, remained empty.
Jake’s.
Jungwon turned to the juniors under the secretary committee, his tone expectant. “Did he say anything about missing the meeting?”
The second-years exchanged nervous glances before one of them hesitantly spoke up. “No, President. He didn’t mention anything.”
That made Jungwon pause.
Jake was many things, laid-back, exasperatingly smug, and a flight risk when it came to avoiding unnecessary small talk. But he was also reliable. He never skipped a meeting without at least a heads-up.
Sunoo, lounging lazily in his chair, finally looked up from his phone. “Are we sure he’s not dead?”
Heeseung, ignoring him, strode over to Jake’s desk. His eyes immediately landed on the thick folder placed neatly at the center, its edges aligned with military precision.
He opened it.
Inside were pages upon pages of documents, all labeled, revised, and signed. Every committee task Jake was responsible for? Already handled.
Heeseung huffed a small laugh, shaking his head. “Figures.”
Sunoo leaned over, peeking at the contents. “So he did everything beforehand, left proof, and then just—what? Vanished?”
Silence.
Then he clapped his hands together. “Well, if everything’s here, we might as well start.”
No one objected, except Jay.
Jay, who hadn’t even looked at the documents because he didn’t need to.
Something about this was off.
Tumblr media
It was late.
The university parking lot was nearly empty, save for a few scattered cars and the occasional security guard making his rounds. The group were all making their way toward their rides, conversations overlapping in low murmurs.
The day had been long, the last meeting dragging on longer than expected, and now they were finally free.
"Ugh, I swear, if one more junior asks me to proofread their paperwork—" Sunoo grumbled, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"Maybe if you didn’t baby them so much, they wouldn’t keep asking," Sunghoon teased, smirking.
Sunoo shot him a glare. "Maybe if you actually showed up to the meetings on time, you’d—"
Jay wasn’t listening.
His attention had been caught by something else.
A few steps ahead of the group, his pace slowed, then stopped entirely as his gaze landed on one of the benches just near the lot.
At first, he didn’t understand what he was looking at.
Jake was there. That in itself wasn’t strange. But Jake wasn’t alone, you were there, too.
And that was what made Jay’s breath catch in his throat; Jake wasn’t just sitting with you.
He was practically curled into you, head nestled snugly against the curve of your neck, his face pressed to your scent gland like it was the most natural thing in the world. His arm draped lazily over the back of the bench, one hand resting near your thigh; casual, comfortable, too familiar.
And you? You were just reading.
Flipping through the pages of your book like this was nothing new. Like Jake burying himself against your scent, molding himself into you, wasn’t something worth reacting to.
Jay’s feet refused to move.
It took Heeseung nearly walking into him for the others to notice his sudden stillness.
“Dude, why’d you stop—” Heeseung started, but then his voice faltered when he followed Jay’s gaze.
One by one, the rest of the group turned.
And one by one, their expressions shifted.
“Oh.” Jungwon’s voice was quiet, but filled with realization.
“No way.” Ni-ki blinked.
Sunghoon let out a low chuckle, crossing his arms. “Well. That explains a lot.”
Sunoo pressed his lips together, visibly holding back a laugh as he nudged his mate. “I mean, are we even surprised?”
They weren’t.
Not really.
But seeing it—seeing Jake so effortlessly tangled up with you, as if he’d been doing this for years, was something else entirely.
And Jake? Jake was completely oblivious to the fact that they were watching.
If anything, he only seemed to relax further, exhaling deeply against your skin before shifting slightly, adjusting his position so he could press even closer. His nose brushed against your neck, fingers twitching slightly as if resisting the urge to grip your waist.
The sight of it made something click.
Jay had noticed it before, the way Jake had been disappearing more often, the way he had been skipping out on long hours at the council office, the way he had been coming back with a scent that was unmistakably omega, unmistakably settled on his skin.
But now, standing here, watching Jake press into you, breathe you in, claim you without even realizing he was doing it—it made too much sense.
Jay exhaled through his nose, shaking his head. “Well. That’s new.”
Finally, Jake moved.
Not because he noticed them, no, he was still completely wrapped up in you. It was because you moved.
Without even looking up from your book, you lifted a hand and ran your fingers gently through Jake’s hair, the motion absentminded and natural, like this was routine.
Jake hummed at the touch, actually hummed, his arm tightening slightly around the back of the bench.
The entire group watched in silent disbelief.
Sunghoon blinked. "I feel like we shouldn't be seeing this."
Jungwon huffed out a laugh, shaking his head. "Yeah, but here we are."
Ni-ki raised a brow. "So, are we just gonna stand here and stare, or—?"
Jake had been careful.
Or at least, he thought he had.
But apparently, not careful enough.
Because the second he smelled it—them, it was already too late.
Jake’s body tensed, his nose twitched, and his fingers flexed against the back of the bench. The comfortable warmth of your scent was suddenly invaded, drowned out by something else.
Jake inhaled once again, and immediately regretted it.

Everyone just goes to Dick's place and he welcomes them as long as they do something for him in return.
Jason knocks on Dick's door, helmet already off - Hey Dickiebird, *flashing him with a large smile* I'm gonna crash here cus Bruce knows where all of my safehouses are now and I don't wanna face him.
Dick - As long as you cook, Jay, cus I have a broken arm right now. And you patch up whatever argument you have with Bruce.
Jason - You're no fun, Dick. And let me patch your arm first, you're gonna bleed out.
Dick - Aw Little Wing looking out for his big brother.
Jason - You big goof.
Tim has made a duplicate key of Dick's apartment door because that boy is always steps ahead of everyone.
Dick is startled as he settles on the bed, getting ready to sleep - What the fu-Timmy! How did you- I'm not even gonna ask.
Tim flashes the duplicate key with exhausted eyes - Yup, already made a duplicate, Dick. And can I sleep in your place tonight? I don't think I can make it to the Manor.
Dick already has his arm wide open for Tim - As long as you don't snore, Timbalina, cus you've been awake for days now.
Damian tries his best to unlock Dick's apartment door with his katana.
Dick is already opening it before Damian can do it for himself - Hey, Dami.
Damian - Grayson. I'm here tonight cus my cycle has a flat tire.
Dick - But you know how to fix that, Dami. Is that an excuse cus you just miss me?
Damian, doesn't say anything against that - Tt. That's absurd.
Dick - You can stay here if you like, even for more than one night, as long as you let me cuddle you.
Damian - That's too childish.
Dick - Then you can't stay-
Damian - Fine, fine.
Wally already zooms inside Dick's apartment before Dick could even close the door when he got his food delivery - Hey, Dick. Gonna stay here for a while. I burned my place and I'm hiding from Barry and Iris.
Dick - As long as you don't burn my place.
Wally - Won't let anything happen to you.
Bruce is already in Dick's place before Dick comes home from patrol - Hi, Chum. Just checking to see how you're doing.
Dick - You're really getting soft in your old age, B. I'm good.
Bruce - Can I stay here for the night? Just to make sure.
Dick - As long as you try to get some sleep, B. Instead of moping around.
Bruce - I'll make sure you sleep first.
Dick - You gonna tuck me in like before?
Bruce, without thinking and hesitation - If you want me to.
Dick - Getting soft, old man, getting soft.
And Dick doesn't mind that his loved ones go to his place. They don't even have to do something for him in return.

secret
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
jj maybank x routledge!reader.
this is heavily inspired by that part in friends where everyone finds out about monica and chandler😭 this is also in little segments for each character finding out.
also, some of the events dont match up to the storyline of the show. i just thought of storylines for this fic and incorporated them into this.
synopsis: jj and reader have had a secret relationship for the past couple months, secret all thanks to the ‘no pogue on pogue macking’ rule. but what if the pogues find out on their own?
Tumblr media
you loved jj. truly. the past couple months with him have been amazing, though you both yearned to be able to do this in public. but you wouldnt, not with john b around. sneaking around with jj was fun,
of course it was, but it got repetitive very quickly.
until you got found out.
pope:
hushed giggles and rapid footsteps invaded your bedroom as jj and you rushed inside for some very much needed alone time together, lips crashing together between laughs. your hands wandered his biceps, feeling them flex and twitch under your fingers.
it wasnt long before his hands were on the back of your head, tugging your head closer for another kiss. you resisted, thinking you heard footsteps. he grumbled, trying to pull you closer once more.
“c’mon princess, i havent been able to kiss you all day! let me make up for it now.” he mumbled, lowering his head toward your neck.
he sucked and bit at your neck, soothing the slight sting with a swipe of his tongue. he barely got to touch you today, let alone kiss you! he felt like he was going insane.
“jay- just- someone might be coming.” you mumble lowly, tilting your head up to allow him to kiss your neck.
yeah, so what? your resolve was weak when it came to jj, you couldnt help it.
“you’re paranoid, cupcake. jus’ give papa j some lovin’ yeah?” he grins goofily against the supple skin of your neck.
“y-yeah… you’re right.” you agree, allowing your hand that was previously itching to grip jj’s hair finally doing so.
you allowed jj’s kisses to travel up your neck and to your lips, your tongues immediately fighting for dominance. jj sucked your bottom lip into his mouth, fiddling with your crop top’s straps. he pushed the strap to the side, allowing it to fall off your shoulder.
pope, who’d watched jj walk in your room, had swung the door open to ask jj what he was doing in your room. his jaw had dropped, but jj just smirked. until his brain caught up with what was happening, in which his smirk melted off his face and grew into a more flustered look.
“uhm- jj- y/n-“ pope stumbles over his words, eyes wide in shock.
your own face was complimented by a light tint of pink, your hands now resting on jj’s shoulders rather than in his hair.
“well- w-we can explain.” you say, hopping away from jj’s body.
“we’re kind of, like, seeing eachother… in secret though, so please please please… dont tell anyone, especially not jb.” you explain, your eyebrows pulled together in concern.
“y-yeah, yeah.. okay… how- i mean, how are you two together? why?” pope asks, confused.
“well pope, when two people love eachother-“ jj starts before you smack his chest.
“we got together after the midsummers, to be fair jj was pretty tipsy. but we’re really happy together, and he’s great.” you smile.
“and the sex is just as great-“ jj guffaws before you give him a deadpanned look and his laugh dies into more of an awkward smile.
“im uh, im happy for y’all…” pope says, before shooting us a smile and quickly making a break out of the room.
”god, that was so awkward.” you mutter.
Tumblr media
kiara:
the both of you were at an infamous boneyard party, maybe a little too tipsy. neither of you cared very much though, just dancing and having fun with your boyfriend, brother, and friends.
you’d excused yourself to go and grab another drink, jj offering to come with you. he followed behind you like a lost puppy, and once you were far enough away from the others he wrapped his arms around your waist.
“y’know why they call this ‘the boneyard’ baby?” he whispered seductively with an even more seductive laugh.
“no, why?” you bit your lip to supress a smile.
“well, obviously because people’d come here all the time for parties. and y’know what they’d do?” he paused for a moment before continuing.
“they’d bone, baby!” he laughed, pulling your hips closer to his own.
“‘nd i think we should do the same… y’know, continue a legacy or some shit.”
“hmm..” you hum.
“i guess… it wouldnt be a bad idea..” you giggle, turning around and holding his face in your hands and pecking a kiss on his lips.
“mm, good girl.” he grins, his head going straight to your neck to suck hickeys onto the skin there all while being too drunk to care about who would see it in the morning.
you let out an involuntary shiver, your arms wrapping around his neck while your fingers fiddled with the hair at the nape of his neck.
“jump.” he mumbles huskily, and of course you comply with that tone of voice.
he catches you in his arms, wrapped around your thighs. he quickly takes you away from prying eyes toward the twinkie, pushing you against the door.
“the things you do to me…” he groans, his hand caressing your thigh.
“y’so pretty baby, cant believe i landed you…” he says in a lovestruck tone, kissing up your neck and eliciting a couple of breathy moans from you.
he pulls you away from the door to pull it open, laying you on the floor of the twinkie. within seconds of shutting the door, his lips are back on you sucking and kissing. his hips rolled against yours as his wandering hands pulled the end of your dress up.
“oh baby, y’soaked through your panties… all this mess f’me?” he smirks, fingers playing with the edge of your panties.
“y-yeah, all f’you jay… please..” you whimper, and of course he cant deny you.
he’s completely pussy whipped, and he doesnt mind admitting it.
“i know baby..” he coos.
“i’ll help you baby, my good girl..” he grunts, unbuckling his belt.
you giggled in excitement as your legs instinctively spread further for him, until the door opened and kie stood there.
you were frozen in shock, this was the second time! jj closed your legs, giving you some sort of dignity.
“kie…” he starts.
“oh my god… john b’s actually going to end you.” the frizzy haired girl muttered.
“what? no he wont, im his best friend. he knows i’ll take good care of her.” he shrugs, though deep down he was worried john b would disapprove.
“please, kie.. dont tell anyone, not even sarah… we’re gonna tell everyone eventually, but just in our own time.” you plead, hoping she’d keep this a secret for our sake.
“okay, fine… but you keep being reckless and everyone will find out on their own.” she said, before grabbing what she needed and shutting the door.
and god, you knew she was right.

cleo:
jj was just working at the shop, stocking shelves and working behind the counter. you were supposed to be doing the same. key word: supposed.
see, you were too busy ogling at jj. i mean, how could you not?! he was a total dreamboat with his fluffy hair, his cargo shorts, those damn sleeveless shirts he always wore that made you want to jump his bones. dont even start with the rings.
you figured you must be ovulating because this never usually was an issue, and the dirty thoughts infiltrating your mind definitely didnt help.
“staring’s rude y’know?” he laughs slightly, not even looking up from whatever he was doing from behind the counter.
“i wasnt staring.” you reply, clearing your throat and starting to stock shelves again.
“right, and im not baked all the time. sweetheart, there’s no shame in drooling.” he snickers.
“i am not drooling.” you had to check your mouth to make sure you really werent drooling, the way you were so distracted with him you werent even sure what was happening around you.
“whatever you say.” he sighs, closing the cash register after counting the money. “c’mere darlin’.”
you didnt even fight it when your legs automatically started moving behind the counter, god you were so down bad. and you didnt even care.
you immediately gripped his shirt and pulled him into a passionate kiss, not able to resist him and his damn kissable lips. he let out a surprised grunt, but kissed you back.
this kiss lasted for a couple minutes, blocking every other thing in the world out. you guys were in your own little bubble.
“whatchu doin’?” cleo’s voice sounds out from infront of the counter.
you quickly jump away from eachother, jj scratching the back of his neck. god this was so embarrassing, you seriously needed to get better at this sneaking around bullshit.
“ah, i see… you guys been mackin’ eachother huh?” the girl grinned.
“glad to see y/n’s finally getting some though.” she winked at you.
“ha ha, funny.” you huff.
“please dont tell anyone..” you ask.
“or do, not like it’d make much of a difference. we’re always getting caught-“ jj gets cut off by a slap to the chest.
“shush jj, she should keep it quiet.” you hiss.
“right, yeah. cleo, keep it quiet.” he says.
“huh. rude boy’s pussy whipped.” she huffs out a laugh, walking out of the shop.
“well- wh- are you gonna keep it quiet?!” jj calls our after cleo but earns no response.
Tumblr media
john b & sarah:
jj and you were just cuddling, that was all. nothing more, nothing less. there wasnt any sexual intentions behind it, just some romantic cuddles between lovers. and he’d just been beaten by his dad, again, so he needed some extra loving from his girl.
“he’s an asshole, jay… i hate what he does to you, i wish i could kill ‘im for you..” you say softly, carding your fingers through his soft hair.
“i wouldnt let you do that, cant have my pretty girl goin’ to jail for me.” he smiles, kissing your cheek lovingly.
“mm, you’re so perfect jay.. y’know that?” you ask.
“nah sweetheart, i think you’re the perfect one.. have you looked in the mirror lately? i mean, hot damn.” he grins.
you blush, you were never good at accepting compliments. “jay, stop…” you whine a little, covering your face.
“nuh uh… i wanna see that beautiful face of yours.” he pulls your hands away from your face and pecks the tip of your nose.
“much better.” he smiles.
the door swings open, the exhausted couple - john b and sarah - barging through with their small, 3 year old toddler in tow.
“yo jayj, can-“ john b’s voice dies out in shock.
“what the fuck man?!” his voice rings out, sarah placing a hand on his bicep to ground him and remind him of his son still in the room.
“you’re macking my sister?!” john b huffs, the vein in his neck popping out in anger.
“john b- i-it isnt what you think! we arent.. macking! okay?!” you get up to stand infront of john b, blocking his view of jj.
“john b.. we’re dating, jj’s my boyfriend-“
“wow! that’s supposed to make it better?! you’re supposed to tell me, y/n! and jj! my best friend man, what the hell?! could’ve atleast asked for my permission!” john b was so angry, he just wanted the best for his baby sister, wanted to protect her.
he really wasnt ready to see her getting into relationships, having to let her go and be protected by some other guy who wasnt him. a guy who could hurt his baby sister.
“he doesnt need your permission! im my own person okay?! if there’s anyone you can trust with protecting me, its jj! you know that! he’s as loyal as a damn golden retriever!” you defended jj.
it seemed to calm john b a little, sarah was outside the bedroom so the little guy didnt hear the ruckus.
“yeah… god, yeah you’re right… i just- i dont want you to stop being my baby sister, i wanna be able to be the one you always come to when something’s wrong.. i wanna protect you.” john b says softly, he was used to having to protect you since dad had gone to find the royal merchant, and was now dead.
“i know… and you still can okay? you and jj can be like- like guard dogs, huh?” you giggle.
“john b.. man, i love her.. i really do. she’s everything to me. you can trust me.” jj reassures.
sarah comes back into the room once she hears the calm talking between you all, little baby jesse john routledge, or jj as everyone called him, following with a smile.
“so… you two huh?” sarah wiggles her eyebrows, grinning.
“yeah…” you smile, blushing slightly.
“well, i guess… i approve, but if you hurt her maybank-“ john b starts.
“you’ll kill me, i know. i’d kick myself over and over if i ever hurt her, before you could even kill me.” he sincerely reassures.
“well, now that’s over… could you watch jesse for us? we gotta go help out around the store…” sarah asks.
“sure, we’ll look after him.” you smile, picking little jesse up.
jj looks at you with the utmost love in his eyes, and john b knew he’d made a good choice trusting jj with you. john b could see how in love the maybank boy was, it was a look unlike any he’d ever seen on the boys face, and if you knew jj, you knew he was a facially expressive person.
john b smiled, ushering sarah out the door and closing it behind him. all he heard as they left were giggles from the three of us.

how about JJ and his gf smoking together for the first time and it's all fluffy and cute? 😩🙏🏻
you and the rest of the pogues are just chilling for the night - listening to music, passing beers around, and taking a dip in the cat's ass. until john b and sarah started making out, that is, causing y'all to disperse and give them some privacy.
you're in a tiny pink bikini, sitting on top of the counter, your legs dangling back and forth. you watch your boyfriend rolling himself a joint.
"hey, jay?" you asked, tugging on his ridiculous multi-colored checker bathing suit. in turn, he takes a step to the side to stand closer to you.
"sup, baby?" he juts his chin out in response before grabbing the paper, sticking his tongue out skillfully to wet it.
"teach me?"
he glances over at you. "what, this?" he asks, removing the paper from his tongue and lifting it up in the air, signaling to it. you nod. "you wanna smoke?"
"i kinda wanna try." you shrug. "since it looks like we can't go in the hot tub, anyway."
he smiles, and concedes. "true. alright, i'll finish rolling this for us."
after a minute, the two of you get situated on the couch in the porch, and it's a peaceful atmosphere with the crickets chirping and the waves crashing in the distance.
you straddle his lap and he leans back against the couch, one hand on your hip, his thumb stroking your skin softly. the other holds the lighter up to his mouth, where the joint is situated, flicking it until it catches and he can take a puff.
"so," he says while he exhales. "let's go easy here since it's your first time. just take a puff and see how you feel."
he holds it up to your lips, and you place them tentatively around it. you take a breath, before releasing it and blowing. you don't feel anything, the smell of the smoke being stronger than the feeling itself. "i didn't even feel anything." you somewhat whine.
"cupcake, either you're a pro already or you didn't do it right." he smiles. "c'mon, try again. there ya go, now, breathe in realllyyy deep, till you feel it in your lungs. let the smoke rest in your throat for a little before you-"
you cut him off with a violent cough. you definitely felt it that time.
"oh my god!" you squeak, holding an arm over your mouth and wheezing into it, jj breaking out into a fit of giggles underneath you as he snatches the joint from your lips - just in time before you cough and spit all over it. "how do you do this for fun? don't laugh at me!"
you're tearing up and your cheeks are turning red from coughing so much, that jj rests a hand against your back to pat it lightly.
"sorry, sorry. you're just cute, 's all."
"ugh," you breathe, somewhat groaning as you dip your head back, catching your breath.
he raises his brows at you mischievously, watching you intently as he takes a puff himself.
"don't mock me." you grumble, crossing your arms.
"let's wait a little bit, then you can try again, hmm?"
"alright."
you tuck yourself into him, your head resting in the crook of his neck as you cuddle into him.
"here," he offers you gently after a few minutes.
you take the joint, not breathing as deeply this time, but taking enough of a hit to still feel it. you succeed in the text with minimal talking.
"atta girl." jj praises.
the two of you end up getting pretty high.
you're squashed, laying side by side on the couch, staring up at the ceiling, thinking it's the sky and that you can see stars.
jj is way more composed than you, but his eyes are still puffy and red.
"just one more!" you say playfully.
"'s not a good idea- hey!"
you grabbed the joint from him, attempting to sneakily put it in your mouth by rolling over, and the sudden movement makes you a bit dizzy. instead of rolling over, you roll off the couch.
you're hunched over, letting out a light groan, your hair fanning across the wooden planks. you definitely hit your head.
"oh, shit." jj says, scrambling to a seated position, lifting a hand to place on your back. "you okay? oh - no, are you crying?"
you're body is racking, but with laughter, not tears. you lift your head up, smiling and giggling at jj's relieved expression. he falls back onto the couch dramatically. "jesus, you scared me."
"sorry." you giggle, using the couch to help you stand back up and find your way next to jj again.
"you're cut off." he insists, snatching the joint back from you. "'s my weed anyway."
you close your eyes, letting out a contented sigh.
"thanks for teachin me how to smoke, jay." you slur.
he turns his head to press a kiss to your temple. "sure thing, baby."

If there's a problem with shapeshifters, brainwashing, copycats, or whatever. I like to think the batfam would say the most embarrassing things to others to prove they were the real one

Damian: The big wound on your chest was the result of you running and falling down the stairs in the league, not because you died
Dick: Jay why you lie to me

Tim: How could you fall down the stairs and get that big of an injury
Damian: It was a league ladder on a mountain, he didn't see the road at night because he was tired and slipped
Duke: Now I know I'm not the only one who gets injured because of silly things
Jason: *dies again

bimbo!reader x jj maybank
summary: fwb!jj can't help but drag you away from the kegger for some private time in the twinkie
cw .ᐟ nsfw, unprotected p in v
Tumblr media
how was jj ever meant to resist the pretty girl that was never more than three feet away whenever the pogues were together? jj's a simple man. he sees a pretty girl and he thinks one thing— i wanna know what she tastes like. he'd done so well, barely flirted with you at all. by his standards anyway, but if you asked literally anyone else they'd disagree.
thank you john b routledge for fucking a kook, now jj gets his own personal piece of eye candy every day. you were his little runaway rich girl, couldn't bare to be without your best friend, so you followed her to the cut.
he was honestly surprised how easily you gave in the first time you slept together, he was sure he'd have to work his way into your pants. no, no, you wanted him just as much as he did you. and technically, jj wasn't breaking any no pogue-on-pogue macking rules, since you weren't officially a pogue. but, to be on the safe side, the two of you agreed to keep things between you two. no need for everyone to know what you got up to behind closed doors.
"need ya," jj mumbles to you, sat in the sand at the boneyard. a secret kiss pressed to your bare shoulder as the impromptu kegger continues around the two of you. lip between your teeth as your eyes meet jj's. "right now?" you murmur softly, batting those long lashes at him.
"right freakin' now." he nods quickly, smirk plastered across his lips.
jj's quick jumping up on his feet, dusting the sand off his hands on his shorts before holding them out to help you up. your eyes dart around the beach, gulping as you take his hands. jj hoists you up and immediately starts pulling you away from the crowd, hand not leaving yours as your fingers intertwine.
"ugh, no, jj," you pout, shaking your head, body slumping in defiance as you realise he's leading you towards the twinkie. jj just chuckles, pulling you along despite your complaints. "oh, yes, princess." he smirks, pushing your body up against the door. his lips on yours immediately, sliding open the door of the van as he pushes you both inside.
your back hits the floor with a thud. "ouch—" you mumble, telling jj off with a simple look. "just too damn desperate for you, baby." he retorts, smirking as he slides the door closed behind him. his body hovering over yours, calloused hands slipping under your bikini top, lips attaching to your neck.
jj's hands are all over your body, groping every part of you he can reach. body slotted in between your thighs, your knees boxing him in against you. reaching underneath your skirt, jj's quick to slide your bikini bottoms to the side, running his fingers through your folds before pushing in his two middle fingers. "hm, always so wet for me." he teases, watching your face contort as he fucks his fingers in and out of you.
tugging gently on his locks, brows furrowed in pleasure, holding eye contact before jj crashes his lips on yours. all teeth and tongue and moans falling into his mouth. sliding his fingers out from you, pushing them into your mouth, watching you suck your arousal from his digits. small hand wrapping around his wrist, holding his fingers in your mouth as you hollow your cheeks around them.
bobbing your head as your tongue swirls. "jesus, princess, g'nna make me bust 'for i even fuck you." jj groans from above you, feeling you withdraw your fingers from his mouth with a pop. he scrambles to free his length from his shorts, sliding the tip through the wetness of your sex. he's slow to push himself into you, his jaw slack as he bottoms out.
"fuuuck," he drawls, one hand on the ceiling of the twinkie, the other holding your leg up over his elbow as he starts to leisurely thrust his hips. "jay—" you whine. "please, faster."
"oh?" he smirks, and you suddenly regret your words. "want me to fuck this pussy faster, baby?" jj taunts, his hips starting to jackrabbit against you. your nails dig into his biceps, unable to stop the string of moans that fall from your lips. the van rocking with the speed in which jj is fucking himself into your cunt.
"this what you wanted, princess?" he teases, savouring every sound from your throat. he knows he should be muffling your moans, telling you to be quiet, but he can't. the van wasn't parked that far from the boneyard, but jesus, you sounded fucking perfect. hearing the pretty moans he was causing, the whimpers his cock was eliciting from you was worth more than anything else right now. "y-yes, fuck! god, yeah— jay." you finally answer him, met with a breathy chuckle from jj in response.
"good girl." he mumbles, lifting up both of your legs now. his hands gripping the underneath of your knees, thrusting deeper into your sex. back arching up from the floor of the twinkie, head tilting back in pure bliss. "nuh uh, look at me." jj orders gently, fucked out smile on his face.
you whimper as you comply, holding his gaze as he continues to pound himself into you. growing closer and closer to orgasm, clenching around him, groans echoing the van as you do. "god, you're so fuckin' hot, baby." he breathes out, feeling you cum over his cock. jj's name falling from your lips as he fucks you through your orgasm.
jj quickly pulls out as he feels himself about to burst, pumping himself over the edge as his load shoots out onto your exposed stomach. eyes scrunched shut as explicit groans hit your ears. "fuck," he breathes out, sinking back to sit on his knees on the floor of the van, pulling his shorts back up. smiling softly up to him, still laid on the floor, propped up on your elbows. "oh, uh—" jj mutters, looking around the van before passing you a towel to clean up. "you're fuckin' perfect, princess." he whispers, pressing a chaste kiss to your forehead.
"are you two fucking done?!" both your eyes widen at the shout from outside the van. "yeah, we wanna go home!" jj's chuckling nervously as he slides open the door of the twinkie, seeing everyone stood outside waiting. he nervously scratches the back of his neck, as you sit up fully. "uh, we can explain—"
"don't." pope grumbles, as the pogues all begin to clamber into the van. the two of you gulping down your nerves, a blush on your cheeks as you see the smirks on everyone's faces as they sit down. "so," john b drawls, looking to the two of you through the rearview mirror. "wanna tell us how the hell that happened?"
"oh me and jj fuck all the time," your voice too sweet to match your words, and all jj can do is laugh, shaking his head. "we weren't gonna tell them that, pretty girl."
"oh, i forgot."
