୫ Synopsis: A strict household. A single, closed-off workaholic for a grandparent and guardian. You had curated the perfect habit of keeping to yourself, cementing an unbreakable wall between you and the rest of the world. However, you’ve been bestowed with a gift - the gift to feel other people’s emotions. 

୫ Series Warnings: Mentions of panic attacks, suggestive material, swearing

୫ Word Count: 825 words

Is this retribution? A pay-off? A curse?

"y/n."

The swell starts to infect your lungs, rotting through every nerve when your breathing shallows. Your eyes are cemented onto Chowon, whose hands are over her chest and struggling to breathe.

You were lying on Jake's lap, and he had been stroking your hair and pulling them out of your face when an unfamiliar anxiousness started brewing in your gut.

It made you feel like puking, so you sat up abruptly, startling Jake, but he wipes his face clean of the surprise when he tries to snake his arm over your shoulders.

But with every breath you took, it got shallower, harsher - it felt like your lungs are caving in on yourself.

The only problem was that you knew you did not have this problem.

"Hey," Finally, a frown creases his forehead. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Elsa was still singing her lungs out on the wall you were sitting opposite, most of your friends in the room still engaged with the film. Some plastic crinkles when someone picks up the bag of chips, and it's not the crinkling that sets you off, it's the overwhelming feeling of pure sensory overload that guts you.

Confusion starts to break your hearing apart, every word that Jake was whispering or mumbling into your ear suddenly blocked out when the anxiety swells even more. By now, your eyes are frantic, darting across the length of the room in the dark.

By now, you were panting, hands reaching up to your chest in an attempt to regulate your breathing but then you realise - you were still thinking.

This is not me. These aren't my feelings. It's-

Like a puppet, the nerves in your body somehow pull you off the ground and Jake's eyes glimmer in the dark when you make the huge shift. He gets up, fingers wrapping around your hand. His lips are apart, saying something to you, but you're slightly dizzy, slightly nauseous, and still searching the room for the source.

Then you see it.

Chowon, sitting in the corner of her bed, of her room, panting to herself.

Your lips part and your hand fumbles behind you to find Jake's wrist, your shoulder now backed up into his chest with your laboured breathing. "Chowon- she's-"

It takes him a second to process the sight before him, somewhat surprised that you had been able to pick her out from the crowd but also slightly concerned that his classmate was having a panic attack.

"Oh, no," He breathes, warm breath hitting your neck as he drops his hand to your waist and walks around you. "I'll go check on her, okay?"

But you know instantly Jake's approach wasn't going to make anything better, for Chowon shrinks further into the corner when she notices him. Your heart rate spikes and for a split second, your vision goes white.

Suddenly, she's crying, pushing through everybody else to leave the room and kicking over some cups and chip bags in the process. She glances at you as she makes her way out, and the sheer panic flashes across her eyes.

You reach out and try to hold her back, wishing nothing but to ask after her, and yet you're greeted by a sudden surge of unreasonable pain and ache.

"Is she okay?"

"I'll go get her."

Jake tells someone to stop the film, and someone else turns on the room lights with another rushing out of the door to go after her. Yet he finds you, paralysed and rooted to the ground, absolutely frozen.

"y/n."

One look at you in your eyes and Jake knows something is wrong. He’s not used to the layer of tears in your eyes, or your shaking hands and your darting pupils.

"Hey, hey, hey," Pulling you into his chest, he holds the back of your head with his palms flat into your hair. You can hear his heart, which does provide you with some calm and clarity, but Chowon's anxiety was swimming about in your blood.

The quiet shushes he kisses into the crown of your head brings you to tears - a horrible combination of your heart running the fate of someone else's but your thoughts were forming a conclusion you never knew was even possible.

Empathy, felt physically.

But...

You pull away, gulping the dryness in your throat that the anxiety's forced you into. He finds your cheek and presses a gentle kiss into your forehead, knowing that he was nothing but genuine for you.

Why doesn't Jake's peace calm me down?

"You alright? You must've been surprised," He mumbles under his breath, just loud enough for you to hear. Lowering your head, you press your cheek into his chest again, this time, intentionally listening, thinking, feeling.

Nothing.

Then you shut your eyes and let the realisation eat you up from the inside.

You can't read Jake's feelings.

“Bathroom Confessions” Sim Jae-yun (Enhypen) : Bullet Point

Pairing: Sim Jae-yun (Jake) x sub! male reader:

Genre: Angst (if you really look for it), Fluff (slightly suggestive?)

Relationship with reader: Childhood best friends

Quick Summary: Jake came by your house after their Border: Carnival photoshoot to finally confess. Thankfully you made it easier for him when you decided to barge in on him changing clothes.

Warning: Minor discussion about insecurities about physical image. There are some sexual undertones and themes in this fic though no smut. So if you are uncomfortable with the idea I recommend not reading.

A/N: Since I am having difficulty writing the Sunwoo fic I decided to create this quick little Bulletpoint instead! Don't worry the Sunwoo fic is still coming but it'll take time cause it is one LONGGG fic. Well maybe not long but 5-6k words is a lot ahfdsfjksjfa.

P.S. : THIS STORY IS BASED ON A DREAM I HAD BUT MUCH MORE TONED DOWN AND IT IS PURPOSEFULLY AWKWARD AND CHEESY BECAUSE THAT’S HOW IT FELT IN MY DREAM

Word Count: 1,962

Jake gently placed the plastic bag filled with Chinese take out on the table

He was tired and you could see it with the way he handled himself

He was walking with his head down and with a hunch on his back as if he were carrying unseen weight

You felt bad for the guy

Especially nowadays he looked like he always had something in his mind

Sometimes when the both of you hang out he would just ruminate

Fixate on a certain point on the ground while his ice cream dripped down his forearm

Whenever you ask him what the problem was he would just wave your worries away as if they were unwanted gnats

Just the other day you, Jake, and your roommate Jaemin decided to get drunk

And even then while Jaemin and you were having the time of your lives, Jake still seemed somehow guarded

He only stared with an unreadable expression, grip tight on his glass of Soju as you and Jaemin acted like children throwing pillows at each other

The next day you wake up with the strongest hangover you have ever experienced

You stood up only to find Jake gone, Jaemin drunkenly splayed with his head on the ground and legs up on his bed, and you with weird red, boxy streaks all over your face, neck and cheeks.

They weren’t hickeys

Definitely not, cause no hickey could be that big nor boxy

Whie you were making breakfast for you and Jaemin you only thought about how Jake was so distant

So caught up in his head

You try to understand him of course

Even if the both of you have been best friends since kids he’s never really been the type to share his problems

Especially to those he felt the closest with

He didn’t even inform you that he went to Korea to become an idol

You only found out when one day you couldn’t find him nor contact him

And just when you were about to think that he disappeared and died somewhere, you all of a sudden saw him on a survival show

Eventually, he decided to inform you that he became an idol only for you to go off on him and letting your anger out

It had only been a few months since then and he never really told you why he decided to not inform you

He really needs to go on a break

This leads to a few minutes ago when you heard your doorbell ring at 10 in the evening 

You were perplexed cause you weren’t expecting anybody to come and visit

When you opened the door to see a disheveled Jake still in his royal costume carrying Chinese take out

You were about to chastise him like a child for leaving Jaemin and you without a single word, and also for quite possibly giving you bruises if it were him who left those red imprints

But then you saw his lazy tired smile, and rain-soaked hair and thought, maybe now is not the time

With a small defeated sigh, you placed yourself against the wall to give him space to enter

He smiled as he placed his rain-soaked shoes on the shoe rack beside the door

You couldn’t help but smile at his antics

He faced you and with a small smiley voice said, I bought Chinese take out

Regardless of how he felt he still somehow made you smile

You can place it on the table. A short pause. Jaemin  is still asleep by the way

He snorted at that and a part of you felt glad that you made him let out a genuine smile

With the amount he drank, I doubt he’d wake up till the next morning

This made the both of you laugh as the both of you traveled towards the kitchen 

His back looked strained as he tried his best to walk with the tight, blue suit on

You had to admit

He looked extremely attractive in his outfit

A strong regal prince

Jake gently placed the plastic bag filled with Chinese take out on the table

He placed his bag on the table as well just as gently

Only then did you realize that you were being a twat

Oh my god, I’m so sorry I just realized I didn’t offer help to carry your things-

He laughed once again, his voice rough and melodious

It’s fine, (m/n), it’s nothing my strong, MUSCLY, arms couldn’t handle

The idol proceeded to flex his arms and fake kissed each one

You just rolled your eyes

You disgust me

His eyes went back to yours 

He placed both of his elbows on the wooden table and cupped his face

Well, I find you pretty

A pause

And your face immediately set aflame

Warmth races all over your body and your mouth remains wide open unsure of what to reply

He noticed your reaction and immediately his face changed back to the unreadable expression he wore last night 

The same guarded almost emotionless expression

The chains of his bag chimed as he roughly grabbed them

He walked towards your small hallway carrying the quiet, almost sad, expression with him

I’m going to change He said curtly

And before you knew it the dark-haired male was gone along with his dark smile

A weight slowly crept inside of you as you realize what just happened

You quite possibly made him mad

Although you had no clue why

You thought that maybe it was because of the way you reacted

The way you looked shocked

The way you looked like a puppy in his tiny box in the middle of the storm

Warm yet unsure

Right now the warmth seemed to seep out of you

Pushed by the incoming weight of sadness like water from a basin

You sigh and stared at the food he placed on the table seeing that he bought you your favorite bao

Ever since he found out you liked bao he has never stopped buying you the same kind

Even though you have eaten enough to last through the next generation

To the point that the once complex taste has now diluted to a homogenous tone

Regardless

Each time he bought you one an explosion of emotions always occurred inside you

And you would smile every time

Now you smile in slight disdain

Not disdain for him but rather disdain for yourself now that you made the other react that way

You never really understood why you were so connected to the emotion of the other

Ever since he has pushed you away ever so slightly you have been feeling the intense emotional vacuum it has left

But he called you pretty

He has never called you pretty

And the thought made you burn more than a thousand Californian wildfires

You never really thought of yourself as pretty

You’ve been called many things but pretty was never one of them

And the one who said is somebody who has known you for so long so it must be true

You take your phone and opened the camera app

You tried your best to not focus on your red cheeks and blue splotched neck

I guess I am pretty 

Without a second thought, you barged into your bathroom where Jake was changing

The door opened with a thud revealing a shocked Jake

He just took off his blue coat and was in the process of uncuffing his sleeves

His white under polo was fully unbuttoned giving you an unobstructed view of his chest

You could see every muscle move each sinew-

You diverted your eyes, closed the door, and faced the mirror with your back facing him

You were red but you didn’t mind

I just came in here to say

You paused

What were you going to say?

You looked back at him and he was completely shirtless

You averted his gaze and went back to staring at yourself

I just came here to say thank you for calling me pretty. Nobody has ever called me that before

The sound of slithering clothes alerted you and you accidentally looked back

Only to see that he was in the process of unbuckling his belt

The both of you locked eyes

How come? he asked

You averted your eyes once more

Your grip on the sink tightened as you lasered your focus back on your reflection

 I don’t know, you whispered, I’ve been called many things but never pretty

You heard shuffling again but this time you willed yourself not to look back

A comforting warmth bombarded your skin as he moves closer to you

He stared at your reflection, his expression was unreadable

Well, he whispered, I’m telling you now that I find you pretty

Your throat went dry

For a while now actually, it was only your face that constantly consumed my mind

You turned around to face him your eye pointed directly at his but you couldn’t help but notice through your peripherals that he only had his black boxers on now

What exactly do you find pretty about me? I’m curious

You challenged him with a simple question and to that he first replied with a smirk

A smirk that you admit made you feel many things you’d rather not voice

Well first I find your eyes pretty

You smiled and replied

I find your eyes pretty

He cocked one eyebrow registering your complimenting challenge

Well then, I find your lips pretty

The flowing compliments, along with the minuscule distance caused a short circuit in your brain

Your once calm and collected mind is now in overdrive as he traps you with his arm on both sides of your waist and your back against the sink

You do? Find my lips pretty I mean.

Yes

You slowly closed your eyes as you fixate on his nearing face

You do the same as well

So what are you gonna do about it?

He didn’t answer

He remained quiet

He merely gently placed his lip against yours 

As gentle as the summer breeze grazing newly bloomed dandelions

After almost an hour inside the bathroom, the both of you come out freshly bathed and fully clothed

You, unfortunately, sported new bruises on your neck on top of the ones already set before and also an undeniable limp as you walked

You and Jake were eating your bao (which was now, sadly, a bit cold) and conversing about the reason why Jake left you all those months ago

It turns out he realized he liked you a lot

And was scared

This leads him to find the quickest route to go far away from you

He regrets it of course

He should have told you sooner

You were planning to give him a piece of your mind when Jaemin showed up in the dining room with disheveled hair and a clear hangover

He didn’t even say anything to the both of you he just sat down and ate his bao

His eyes went to the bruises on your neck and said

Oh, by the way, m/n I’m sorry for the bruises on your neck. You were passed out and we were really drunk. Jake dared me to use the car vacuum on you

At this your snapped neck towards Jake direction you stood up from your chair

YOU DID WHAT? 

You immediately regret your decision as you winced from the pain caused by your behind

Jaemin just stared in confusion while Jake laughed

It has been a while since you’ve heard him laugh

It has been a while since you’ve seen him smile

And how beautiful does his smile look whenever he looks at you

Like trees in Spring after Winter

A/n: I hope yall would comment on my writing its been a while and I’m a bit rusty love yall :>

Life Lately: February and March

I’ve been so busy for the past days because of acads + katamaran. But I’m back and it feels so good. Hi online journal, I’ve missed you so much. The semester will end in two days! I know I have a lot of things to prioritize pa and I have to review for finals but here I am writing this down, the reason? I don’t know as well. I just felt the need to do this and yes, classic Ace, don’t know what to write…

Week 2 (Feb 5 – 11, 2017) CBA Week

Tuesday: We played our first ever Monsoon Simulation Game. Uhm basically it’s an online game that caters business administration students to familiarize with different modules (all about business) and put that knowledge into a game wherein you need to achieve specific goals to win. It’s like just playing online games but with this, it will help you create your own company and how will you manage it. It’s fun actually, at first we were lost and we really don’t know what to do and all we have are those red numbers that signify negative. But along the way, we got to know the techniques and all.

Friday: CBA week but it felt like just a normal school day but with just the additional booths in the garden. But the big day is Friday because yay no class. We just need to attend the morning and afternoon seminars and that’s all. But we made sure that this day will be fun and so it is. For lunch, we ate at this so called “Kay Nanay” near NU and as always never a dull moment with my block mates. After lunch, we just kill time in the garden and pranked our two classmates, Raul and Julia to this “Kasal-Kasalan” booth. These two were thinking that were going to prank our other classmates and not them and they were like teasing and teasing and when the “wedding coordinators” started looking for them and grabbing them, they were really shookt. Our prank was a success because they didn’t really have the idea that they were going to marry each other and Julia was half way crying, on the other side, Raul was a little bit annoyed but both agreed to the “Kasal-Kasalan”. We were just laughing throughout the “wedding ceremony” chu chu. After the afternoon seminar, we went to Binondo to look for something new to eat. We walked around Binondo to look for YingYing because no one knows pala where it is located. We're deadly tired + the climate + were hungry and finally, after almost an hour walkathon we finally made it. As we entered, we didn’t expect that the whole place was already occupied with people. For another half hour, we finally able to get a table for all of us and for another half hour, our order was served. Gahwd just imagine our day. Naaah but it was fun.

Saturday: I started to binge-watch The Vampire Diaries and I was so regretful. TVD is really one of those American series I used to watch since I was in elementary way back 2009 but I don’t know why I stop watching it in High school. I felt a little bit awkward and outdated but the feels gawhd!

Week 3 (Feb 12 – 18, 2017)

Tuesday: Happy Hearts Day! I don’t have special someone, I don’t have a real-life crush whatsoever. But I’m not bitter! I have a family, friends and of course G. They’re more than enough at the moment and for life. And as a good friend of my friends from Quezon, I was asked by Nica and Eunice (my Quezon friends) to surprise their BFFs, Ate Jha and Ate Ellen, who are both residing here in Manila. I woke up around 9 am to plan for something a little bit new this time (lowkey I did the same last year for ate Jha and her BFF, Eunice) and I just finished my homework for school before heading to Dangwa to buy some flowers. After Dangwa, I went straight to a convenience store to buy chocolates and classic Ace lost her way. I still have a 6 pm class that day and a Monsoon Sim game to attend but I was lost because of the immense people + the heavy traffic. But luckily I’ve managed to get on the right track as soon as possible. I was late for almost thirty minutes and thought that the Monsoon sim had already started but luckily there was a huge internet connection problem so it was postponed. After class, I rush to Ate Jha’s room at the fifth floor, gave her Eunice’s presents and I’m glad that she liked it. Nica asked to me to buy Ate Ellen’s favorite Jolly spaghetti that is why I rushed to the nearest Jollibee and I waited so long in line, blockbuster yung Jollibee na yun :(. At around 10 pm I was able to order and went home straight because it’s already late. I just asked Ate Ellen to meet me at my house and there… tadaaaa!

When will I have something kaya for Valentines? HAHAHAHAHA

Thursday: We just had a sleepover here in our house to finish our Chapter 5 in Marres cos it is due on Sunday. I was with Ahjumma (Mary Ann) and Tel. Tel slept a bit early and me and Ahjumma slept at around 3 am because chikka is life. :D

Week 1 (Feb 26 – Mar 4, 2017 )

Wednesday: Ate Elaine left for Bacolod for a National Quiz Bee. She was really the brightest of us all and I am so proud of her.

Thursday: Happiest Birthday, Taba (my sister) I used to call her Taba because when we were younger, she was so fat but that changed when she entered college where she really lost weight. Last night her friends had an overnight and ordered foods to celebrate her birthday.

Friday: I started watching Riverdale, gawhd KJ Apa is such a bae + the plot was so great. Totally a must see. Lowkey had a midnight pancit canton cravings, I ate two pouches. shhhh.

Saturday: We went to Avon Espana branch to ask some questions related to our study and after that, we went to a Pares Mami in Espana as well. When I got home, mom and dad arrived from Quezon to visit us and also to personally congratulate my sister and celebrate her victory. Her friends, professors, and classmates went here to celebrate their win, 4th place among the 20 groups, I guess. They just had fun and drinks and all sort of things like that. And I’m left half-sleeping all night. I really can’t sleep when I know random somebody is in our house. 

Sunday: After I finished writing my last and final journal in Marres, we went to Greenwich, SM San Lazaro to have a dinner with the fam and lowkey my tita won a jackpot prize in Bingo. :D

Week 2 (March 5-11, 2017)

Saturday: Huhuhuhu, I only have 2 hours of sleep because I stayed up all night to review my reporting in Law and luckily, we did it and I even managed to answer all of my professor’s questions. Then, we ate at Jollibee with the gang and just enjoyed our Tax class. After class, we finished our chapter 6 and watched The Voice Kids, these kids were just superb.

Week 3 (March 12-18, 2017)

Tuesday: I ordered two coats online and it arrived that day. At first, I thought I did just waste my money for that, but I was wrong the coats were authentic and really worth the money. Gotta invest into more business attires.

Wednesday: We presented our Chapter 6 with sir Chow and it turned great. How I wish it’s always like that. Also, I binge-watched the series finale of TVD and was still hoping for a SteLena endgame but but but… Stefan deserves to be alive and happy. :(

Wednesday: I wasn’t able to attend Christel’s birthday in Pampanga that is why I have to make bawi to her by having a “post-birthday celeb”.

Week 5 (March 26-April 1, 2017)

Sunday: While browsing iflix, I accidentally saw my ultimate childhood k-drama series, Spring Waltz and it triggered me to watch it for the second time so I did. Gawhd the feels. Where to find the Jae Ha to my Eun Young?

Tuesday: We had a massive long quiz in HRM, as in it was like we're taking a board exam. All questions were out of the discussions and seriously mind-blowing. But I bought some donuts to even out the bitterness in the grade I got.

#13ReasonsWhy is now on Netflix. Yay!

Friday: I watched the first episode of  #13ReasonsWhy then went back to studying cos acads is life and we got one more week left. So todo todo na ito. I slept at 5 am in the morning and woke up 7 am, strictly no late when exams. My exam in law went well but my Tax :’( I even slept while taking the exam because I was really exhausted and completely blank :(

I guess that is all....

**I don’t know how to end this, so The End!**

Super Rich Kids: Fairy Tale

part of @nayuyeons and @ateez-elena collaboration project for SUPER RICH KIDS

♚ chaebol! jake x chaebol! [fem] reader

♚ SOME suggestive material, some flirty shit ig, rich kid! au [SFW!] no they did not have sex please read before you report my ass for smut

♚ ummmmmmm swearing?

♚ 2k

♚ why did i believe your love?

{this is a piece of fiction}

Mother: Will you get dressed? They are already at the gates and you look like you just woke up!

You: I did.

Mother: Well, get washed up and changed will you? Do you need the fitter to come by with your wardrobe?

You: No. [You get up from your king-sized bed and ruffle the blanket away, turning to face the bathroom and back-facing her] I'll fix my own fit today.

Mother: You better show up in something presentable or else I will remove you from the horse-riding programme.

Without waiting for her to leave, or for an acknowledgement to leave your lips, you push yourself off the bed and head into the bathroom, only listening to the door creak shut after you've pressed the toothpaste onto your toothbrush.

The horse-riding programme was the best thing that's happened to you in a long while. It's helped you take your mind off the Sim family that yours has somehow gotten closely acquainted with.

For some reason, it just had to be them.

It just had to be Sim Jaeyun.

Jake: Hi Mrs l/n! Mr l/n.

Father: [Taking Jake's hand into hers] Oh! It's so nice to see you again.

You're facing the party standing opposite you, but your eyes are darted away and focussed on something far from you.

It's his smile that's always so misleading.

You would know.

Mother: y/n, why don't you show him around the new stable? I heard Jake's starting the programme where you're taking your horse riding lessons.

You: [Whipping your head so hard, you hear a crack in the back of your neck] What?

Jake: Oh, yeah! I am, I'm starting today actually!

You: [squinting your eyes at him] Can't you start tomorrow?

Jake: [blinking at you innocently, though you're pretty fucking sure he knows your classes are every week today] I have language classes tomorrow and it's the most convenient day for me.

Mother: Well! You can go horse riding together!

You: I'm perfectly fine on my own in class, mom.

Mother: A little company won't hurt you.

Jake: It's alright since she doesn't like me all that much-

Mother: Nonsense! She's just shy and nervous around strangers that's all.

I wouldn't be 'shy and nervous' had he not done what he did 2 months ago. You'd thought it'd be easier seeing him again after a while, but the moment your parents had announced this luncheon with the Sim family, your stomach lurched; your lungs collapsed, and your hands went all sweaty with your brain emptying itself of every single thought already in it.

Jake: [Pulling on his horse to trot alongside yours, smirk plastered to his face] You know, you're a terrible actor for someone who told me you wouldn't want to remember anything that happened.

You: [Refusing to look at him] I think I'd like some peace and quiet at least. Since you've already crashed my only enjoyable time of the day.

Jake: [chuckling] Aw, come on. You gotta admit it was fun. In the backroom behind the kitchen-

You: Shut up, Jake.

Pulling on the reins of his horse to pick up the pace, Jake pulls his horse into crossing your path and stops yours. Your horse neighs and throttles, huffing as it steps back into a halt.

You: What the Hell do you want?

Jake: Honesty. [He glances away and at the sun with his eyes squinted.] I don't believe that it meant so little that you're doing nothing but trying to forget it.

You: I want to forget it because I just don't care.

Jake: You're lying through your teeth and you know it.

You stare at him, then looks down at his horse. White as day and yours dark as night.

You: I don't have the time nor the patience to deal with this. [You pull on the reins and snap them, inciting your horse to gallop across the field and far away from his.]

But you can hear the shadowed galloping catch up to yours, and Jake catches up without a moment of hesitation, even slowing down his horse to meet eyes with you. But he snaps the reins and flies off into the distance, racing off into the visible distance.

Jake does it with the knowledge that you won't back down from him. Not after he's found leverage over you.

So you snap the reins to your horse and she gallops faster, catching up to Jake easily.

Jake: Dismount, y/n.

You: [huffing and trying to regulate your breathing] What for?

Jake: To talk. You can't keep running.

The thought forces itself back into the crevices of your brain.

You had your birthday 2 months ago and your family thought it was a good idea to invite all the nearby chaebol families and that included the Sim family. You had already met them on a few occasions before and there wasn't an effort to hide your little crush on Sim Jaeyun, youngest son of the Sim family.

The boy was gorgeous and he knew it. He knew how his eyes crinkled when he smiled and how the ends of his lips curled up into his cheek like a walking sin luring you into his trap.

You weren't entirely sure what made him do it or why he even thought about it in the first place, but after you had run off into hiding because your face was too flushed from staring at him, he found you.

In the back room of the kitchen where you could still hear the kitchen staff baking their afternoon treats for your families.

Jake: Psst

You: [Eyes wide, cheeks flushing red once again when you process his face peeking through the door.] Oh- what are you doing here?

Jake: Looking for you. [He pushes the door open and joins you in the backroom, scanning the shelves of ingredients.]

You: [Uncomfortable] Um, I just- needed some time alone to collect myself.

Jake: [Returning his attention to you] Not a fan of crowds, I assume?

You: [Shaking your head] No.

Jake: Well, we could stay in here for longer if you like.

You: I don't think we should- [Reaching for the door handle] I don't want our parents to-

Jake: What, are you nervous with me?

You: [Stunned] What? N-no.

Jake: [Seemingly amused] Is it the crowd that makes you nervous or do I make you nervous?

You: [Hesitant and in absolute shambles] Both. We should head back.

Jake stops you in your path to the door by stepping in between you and the exit.

Jake: Don't be nervous with me. Please.

The vocabulary in your head fails you when he lowers his head to meets your eyes. And the stark change in distance drives you back into the shelves storing some boxes of sugar and salt.

You hadn't noticed until Jake's hand flies up and catches a pack of sugar coming down, eyes looking up and his jaw by your eyes.

You gulp (horribly loudly) when he pushes it back into the surface, returning his attention to you.

Jake: Now, where were we?

You: What do you mean-

Jake slots his lips between yours, soft and careful with his hand holding the stand of the shelf. Your eyes are wide open at first but then he shifts his angle and his eyes are closed when his lips move against yours.

His palm comes up to your cheek and melts you in his warmth, finally fluttering your eyes shut.

Yet it wasn't that that ruined your birthday, no.

It was the way that Jake pulled away and rushed off you when the backroom door swung open and one of the head chefs stared down in shock at the both of you.

Jake: Look, I'm sorry I said that we were just fooling around, okay?

You stare down at him, brows slightly furrowed and your grip tight around the reins. He was dismounted, standing by his horse and looking up at you who refused to come off.

Jake: I panicked and I didn't want my parents knowing they told me to go look for you only to- well-

You: So it's that hard to admit that we kissed? THAT hard, huh?

Jake: [Flustered and frustrated] No, I don't mean it that way- I just-

You remain silent, watching him fumble and stammer over his words as he struggles with forming a coherent sentence.

You: If you were just playing with me then just say so. You don't have to put on a show or wreck your brain for the right words to make me feel better.

Jake goes silent, eyes filled with contemplation.

Your horse whinnies, stepping back as you turn and look away in the distance, unable to contain the rotten weight in your chest.

Sucking in a deep breath and inhaling the fresh air, you turn and look back down at him, frowning a little.

You: If you have nothing to say then I'm gonna head back to the stable.

You pull on the leather reins, turning your horse around. But Jake runs before her, forcing you to yank back the reins so she wouldn't trample over him.

Jake: Come off the horse, please?

Tightening your grip on the reins first, you purse your lips into a thin, tight line before the resolution hits you.

Dismounting from the horse, you pull off the headgear and hook it onto the side of the saddle, bits of your hair stuck to your forehead from the sweat.

You: Make it quick, 'cause I don't want to-

And you're immediately cut off by Jake cupping your face in his hands, pressing his lips into yours and savouring the sweetness of the puffs you had earlier before the class.

Your heart is racing when you process the familiar sensation in your chest; heart surging and stomach coming filled with butterflies when he refuses to let go after a while.

But gradually, you melt into his warmth, taking in his scent from his hair and his clothes. Your hands come up to his wrists and holding onto them, letting the gentle breeze brush through your hair.

Jake detaches first, wind rushing between your faces as he scans your eyes for any sign of detest.

Jake: I'm sorry. I didn't want to get into trouble with my parents for hitting on you, not that you were the problem. [He pauses] I didn't mean to make you feel like I was toying with you and I'm sorry.

You're at a loss of words, eyes searching his face for any hint of lying or a cover-up. But he's flustered and his cheeks are red; pupils glomed with guilt.

Jake: We can go back and I'll explain things to your parents and mine. [He pauses] I like you, by the way. In case you... couldn't tell.

Sightings:

I had been hunting for food in the day where I would be safe from them, but then I realised I was being hunted instead.

He looked more like a dog from afar at first, a thick coat of brown fur keeping him warm from the harsh climate up here. But up close, he definitely shapeshifts into something larger, something that looks more like a werewolf.

I haven't seen anything like him. The fangs of a vampire - the long, thin, venomous kind - in the mouth of a werewolf.

Unlike the other six, he was immune to the sun due to his werewolf form. This makes him the only one able to hunt and trek in the duration the sun was high in the sky.

I remember hearing my heart in my head when I realised how large his werewolf was. I had never seen anything like it.

Blue eyes on a wolf.

In his mouth was a dead hare, blood trickling down into his matted fur on his neck and the grass rustles when he drops it from his mouth.

He circles me once, eyes never leaving me. His nose sniffles as he growls, and my heart stops when he snarls sharply.

But he returns to his haul, glaring at me with those blue eyes... and backs off without taking it.

Special Notes:

The Wolf is the only member of The Sinister Seven that is a hybrid of two worlds that should have never crossed. It is unknown how The Wolf had managed to integrate himself into The Sinister Seven, but it seems like they use The Wolf for daytime hunting, tracking and marking the territory.

The Wolf is immune to the sunlight in his werewolf form. He also seems to be the least territorial (which is ironic.)
