After that, Sunghoon locked himself in the room the whole day. He spent the day tearing up and mumbling stuff whilst remembering those memories he created with the others. Hunger wasn't a bother to him, it was the other controlling him like a puppet.

Jake on the other side, he left Sunghoon there thinking of a plan to get what he wants. If it doesn't work, he'll have to use force but both ways are simple to him.

The next day, the atmosphere was dull and suffocating. Anxiety creeping up to the younger as each second goes by, not knowing what to say to the older. Overthinking about the actions Jake would do to him besides that event from yesterday.

"but what does he mean by 'the real me' ?"

He went downstairs for breakfast as he saw his housemate already eating his meal. Sitting down, he slowly took bites out of it while stealing glances from the person infront. He was only looking down on his plate savoring it quietly.

"stop, I'm not going to pounce at you"

Jake noticed his glances which made him a little uncomfortable. The silence was awkward then the older finished his breakfast putting it in the dishwasher and heading off to his room.

Sunghoon let out a breathe not knowing he was holding it for how many seconds. Taking the last bite out of his plate, he followed the older's actions to the kitchen then went to the living room.

"Sunghoon-ah, here as a sorry for yesterday"

The younger widened his eyes looking down on the other's hands where his phone was. Before he could take it, Jake moved his hand away for a bit.

"But I'll take it back every night before you sleep"

"hmph, are you my mother or something?"

The older glared at him keeping eye contact. Sunghoon just sighed.

"fine sorry.."

Then he finally got his long awaited device. To be honest, he didn't know what he wanted to do with it, just staring at it's features lying down on his bed. He decided to go tell his friends about what has happened to him.

"but what if jake might kill me.."

Sunghoon chuckled at the messages. He then opened some other apps ro see what he missed. There wasn't anything exciting. Some were just fictional articles about some myths going around the country.

He never believed in them. When children grows up, of course they would be miserable knowing the truth afterwards. They were just blinded by magical lies.
