46: Ambition

"Yes." I lowly responded.

"Where did you guys go?" Jay asked.

"Some place." I just said.

"Let's seat first and tell us all what happened." Mika said.

Timeskip

"Heeseung hyung! You're so romantic!" Ni-ki exclaimed.

"No wonder why Sullyoon fell for you!" Sunoo added.

"Nice one Mr. Lee 'Romantic' Heeseung!" Jake made me a nickname. We were all having fun in the table as we were retracing that day.

"Ya. Lee Heeseung." Mika spoke up seriously, interrupting the fun.

My eyes traveled to her as she looked as she was staring at my soul. "Yes?"

"Don't even try thinking of breaking her heart." Mika said which brought shivers down my spine. Is she her dad or something?

"If you even make Sullyoon cry, i'll make you cry." Mika raised up her fist.

"Y-yes ma'am." I replied, terrified.

Sullyoon looked at me and bursted in laughter. "Hear that?" She said between her giggles.

"I promise." I held her hand and smiled.

"Ugh disgusting." Sunoo rolled her eyes.

"That's what happens when you're in love." Jake teased me.

"Oh really?" I looked at him.

Jake's POV

"Speaking of being in love..." Heeseung clicked his tongue.

"How's your confession huh?" He smirked at me.

I looked at Mika and she left her tongue out and made a teasing face.

"U-uhm.." God help me.

"You already confessed hyung?" Jungwon excitedly asked.

Mika sighed loudly. "Your little Jakey got too excited, he tried so hard." She chuckled.

"Omo!" Sunghoon exclaimed.

"How did it go?" Sunoo asked.

"Did you answer him Mika?" Sullyoon shook my arms, anticipating my answer.

"No." Mika sternly said.

"Huh?" Ni-ki tilted his head, confused.

"What do you mean?" Heeseung asked.

"I rejected him." Mika said.

I pouted.

"Why?" Jay frowned.

"Cause I want to." Mika answered.

Jay looked at me sadly. "It's okay bro, you'll find another one. Then maybe you'll be succesful." He tapped my back.

"You're funny." I looked at Jay.

"I'm succesful. In another way." I said. I looked at Mika and winked at her.

"I have to go, I still have something to pass to our teacher. Bye!" Mika stood up.

Mika approached me from the back and caressed my shoulders from behind.

"You'll get there soon." She spoke up.

"Goodbye. Mr. Suitor." She retreated and flipped her head dramatically.

I felt my cheeks heaten up as I was smiling ear to ear.

"Woah!" Heeseung exclaimed.

"Mr. Sim 'Suitor' Jake!" Sunoo said and laughed in amusement.

"You really want to get her huh?" Jay placed his arm on my shoulders.

"She's playing hard to get." Sullyoon chuckled.

"You made her jealous, it's your fault, Jake." Jungwon chuckled.

I smiled as I imagine how she will give me her 'yes'. I will try everything, to impress her, to show how much love I have and crave for her to be mine.

I never felt so ambitious before. I didn't notice how she made me change. I was such a cold person before. But now, look at me. I'm here being such a fool, trying to get a girl who randomly appeared in my life.

She made my life crazy. So crazy.

I didn't know how to love in the past, but I guess I already know what love is. And I freaking like it.

And I'm sure I have the right person who I can share it with, for the rest of my life.

Lee Mika.

You make my world.

You make me.

Don't worry.

I'll be the man who you deserve to have.

You'll get there, Jake.

"I'll make you love me like I do."
