DAFFODILS |JAYKE FT. SUNGWON|

✿SEVEN✿

Previously: "Yayyyyy! Dada is the best!" I smiled as we headed home.

Seoul National Hospital, 9:30pm

Jay's POV:

"Come back after getting the test reports done, okay? And don't worry, it will be fine." I assured the patient and his family. After thanking me, they left. It was a hectic day, I had tons of patients to check, as usual. I stretched my body a bit, and cracked my knuckles. It's finally time to go home, the idea not being that enthralling to me. The place I called home didn't feel home. My mother and step-dad were nice to me, but it was only because of my profession. Sounds weird? But that is the truth. After my father passed away, my mother and I were devastated, everything was a mess. But then my mom married my step-dad, a rich man who owned a good business. We shifted to his house, and as much as I hate to say this, my step-brother didn't like me. We were never on good terms, and it became worse and worse until he left the house. I didn't want that to happen, I viewed him as my own little brother but I think mom's and my presence became a bit overwhelming for him. And that is the sole reason I wanted to be at the hospital as long as possible, going home just made me feel...empty.

Empty ...that feeling.... It's very suffocating. You have everything, yet you have nothing. I want to feel again, like I used to. My mind drifted back to Yunjae's father, Jaeyun. I just remembered that name, as if it was meant to be imprinted in my mind. His eyes, I have never seen such a beautiful pair of eyes before. I couldn't forget him, not that I wanted to. I remember myself staring at him when I came to check Yunjae one last time, and found the duo sleeping. I've always loved kids, and Yunjae was too adorable, and too alike to him. I don't know why, but whenever I'm alone, or I'm not busy, I always think about him, and feel that warm and fuzzy feeling- which I never felt before. Am I in love? I desperately wanted answers, and I hope I see him soon, very soon. I shook my head and went inside the house.

On entering my house, I saw my mother sitting and reading a book, dad was nowhere to be seen. I think she felt my presence, and turned around to look at me, and greeted me with a smile. "Freshen up and come down, your dad will be here anytime soon, he's at the company". I nodded and swiftly made my way to my room. I change and lie down in my bed, letting the warmth of my soft blankets sink in and start thinking about my day. All the events that happened today, how I wanted to meet Jaeyun-ssi again- why does it always have to be him nowadays? (A/N: Once you Jakein, you can't Jakeout :P tsk sorry for my lame jokes) But I can't deny the connection I felt to him, I wanted to protect him, to see him smile... I've never felt this way before, this feeling is foreign to me, yet I don't hate it. I wondered if Yunjae was doing okay, that child didn't deserve to suffer so much, it pained me to see a little kid this way. I didn't realise as I fell asleep, my mind occupied with thoughts about that particular man.

Jungwon's POV:

"It's like a Polaroid love.." I was humming the song that I recently took a liking to. This song reminds me of Jake Hyung every time I listen to it. I started catching feelings since the first day I saw him. I could finally find love again, after...after Sunoo left me. I never thought I'd actually be able to get over him, ever. If only, I was there to save him...I could feel my eyes tear a bit, it has been 5 years, yet every time I thought about him, I couldn't help but feel guilty. "I hope you're happy to see me doing what I always wanted, Sun. I think I finally found love again..." I said while looking at a picture of him and me, in our college year. I honestly never thought I'll be able to love again, Sunoo had scarred me enough for life. I don't know, but I'm scared of love now, I know I like Jake hyung, but what ....what if he doesn't like me back-? No way, no way can that happen... I am good enough for him, I can take care of him, give him all the things he wants, love him lots too...he would definitely choose me if I confessed to him, he would like me too, right?
