CH: 28

At the end I decided to go back to my room as nothing was helping me, the main point as even though I knew the facts that Jacob and Eddie are old friend and that I don't have any chance with him then also I was frustrated by the thought of getting Eddie and Jacob together.

I landed on my bed and saw Jacob was sleeping, he didn't even know what he did to me, I shook my head many times and then closed my eyes and started counting sheep's on a hope that this would help me sleep, "1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep, 4 sheep, 5 sheep..." I was counting when Jacob slid his hands on my waist and pulled me near him. My breath hitched at that moment, he then came near my ear and whispered, "where were you, it's already midnight." "I just went for a stroll." I stuttered. He again whispered "sleep now it's already late and you have to go for work tomorrow." And after he finished he patted my head.

I slowly calmed down in his embrace and finally slept peacefully. I was so attached to him and as time passed by the attachment was getting stronger and stronger. The only truth was we can't be together but every time he does these types of actions I fall for him even more.

I woke up as usual and went to the bathroom to take an instant bath as today I have to go to work. Jacob was still sleeping and was curled up like a ball, so I covered him up and changed into black jeans and a loose white t-shirt. After I finished drying my hair I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

When I was almost done preparing it Jacob also woke up and went to take a bath. I packed my stuff and put mine and his phone on the charger and after that I plated the breakfast on the table, Jacob was also ready. So, we both sat down and ate our breakfast.

"Listen, mason, I will go to buy a few things today in the daytime, do you need anything? "He asked

"no hyung, I don't need anything. But why... I mean do you something important to buy?" I said

"Actually I wanted to buy some shaving blades and shampoo and some basic things too." He replied and I mouthed an "o" in realization and went back to eating.

We already reached to my workplace and Krystal was also there in the parking lot, parking her cycle. She saw us and ran towards us and said hello to me and Jacob. As it was already time so he left for his workplace. After he went away Krystal smirked at me and said, "How is it going, mason?"

"What?" I asked to enact that I don't know what she was talking about as I know where this conversation was heading so, I tried to go inside. But before I could take a step she wrapped her hand around my neck and stopped me.

"You already know what I'm talking about, just tell me?" she said without losing her grip on my neck

"Nothing good, tomorrow is eddies birthday and he is giving him a special gift," I replied making a frustrated face.

"Oh! MASON IS JEALOUS." She spoke and laughed at me. Yes, I was jealous but unhappy at the same time.

"Don't worry mason. You know what I can already tell you that he likes you too." She continued, and that made me blush as the heat generated in my cheeks which for sure changed their color too into red.

"Oh! MASON IS BLUSHING." She said poking her finger in my tummy and laughing at the same time. I tried to escape from her grip and said, "no one is blushing. Now leave me it's already time to go inside."

She finally left me from her grip and we went inside, she was still laughing and poking her finger again and again. After that we separated our ways and went to our work. We both got busy with our work and barely talked to each other and we didn't get any free time either. We only became free during our lunchtime only, but then we again went back to our work.

"It was really a busy day today," Krystal said clinging on my hand as we made our way to the parking lot.

"Don't act like this? You only have to sit on a seat and register the name. Then also you are acting like your work is so tiring." I said taunting Krystal playfully.

And within a second her fist landed on my head and I whimpered in pain as it was really painful. I looked at her as if I would kill her but by looking at her angry look my face changed into a submissive look. She was looking at me that she will eat me raw. Before she could do anything I apologized and joined my hand in front of her pleading for forgiveness.

"Ok! Ok! I will forgive you." She said and waved her hand in front of me. I sighed in relief and we finally reached near her cycle but she waited for me until Jacob arrived. As soon as Jacob arrived she bided me and him bye and left.

"So how was your day?" I asked Jacob, he was holding a polythene bag in his hand.

"It was good, what about you?" he replied as I took the bag from his hand and started looking for the stuff he bought. I became happy when I saw a few packets of my favorite snacks.

"It was a really busy day for me," I said and took out a packet and ripped open it and took out few chips, and started munching without saying anything else.

"You are really cute mason." He said as he rumbled my hair while I was still busy eating. I smiled towards him and continued eating after I almost finished the packet I realized that I should share it with him, but when I looked inside the packet there were only a few chips left. I looked at Jacob when we waited at the red light.

"Sorry hyung, I forgot to share it with you." I said and he looked at me with a smile on his face and said, "No problem, I wasn't hungry either."

I smiled back and after I finished the packet, and put the wrapper in my bag, we didn't talk much on our way back home. We were silent which; was not awkward silence. After around 5 minutes we reached our home and he unlocked the gate and opened it. We both entered the house and I threw my bag at the couch and sat on the next one. He went to the washroom and washed himself while I was still resting on the couch.

After a few minutes he came out and I followed the same, and after we both were done we discussed to order something as we both were tired and weren't in a mood to cook something. He ordered from his phone and paid for it online,

"It will take 35 minutes for the order to arrive." He said to me.

I nodded my head, I was so hungry but I already ate one packet so I wasn't allowed to eat another one. I drank some water and we watched TV until the order arrived; we played a random series to watch on the TV. And after 30 minutes our food arrived which was early form the delivery time but we were so happy.

I received the order from the delivery man and put it on the table, meanwhile, Jacob brought the chopsticks and spoons. We finally sat to eat the delicious food and as we unpacked the food the mouthwatering smell of food filled the room; as we were so hungry so it only took us 20 minutes to finish the food. I burped in satisfaction and rubbed my hand on my belly which was full now.

After we finished our food, we cleaned everything and took a walk as we ate too much which was hard to digest. We took a few rounds in the garden and then we came inside and he went to the room first and I went to the kitchen to drink some water. After I went inside the room Jacob was studying something, I went near him to say what he was reading, and when I peeked inside the book it was just a book of his class, "why are you studying this?" I asked

"I was just feeling like to study today." He replied looking at me and then again at book.

After that I left him alone so that he can study peacefully there and went to sleep as I was so sleepy, and I usually sleep early other than exceptional days. Meanwhile Jacob was still studying
