pov: jay is the type of guy that is completely opposite of you. while you engage yourself in books and studies, he prepares to enjoy his time, partying and living his life to the best. but despite the opposite interests and vibe, your bond of friendship is strong—that's something no one can take away. you've heard so many people questioning jay's friendship with you. they always ask how you became so close to him because he is the type of guy that everyone admires—his charms can make anyone fall for him even just in seconds. sometimes, you joke around with him, saying things like "what if i just avoid you?" but he always reminds you to not think too much of what other people think and that something like that won't break the bond you two had shared over the years. and yes, that's true. you were frequently asked if you’ve ever been attracted to jay and you always tell them that what you had is just friendship—the shared time and laughter together, even the inside jokes. that's what you always tell them but you can't deny the truth that these past few months, you've been seeing him differently compared to the friendship you once knew. every night, you always buried yourself in books, studying and wanting to be the best in class. jay always says that what you're doing is enough and sometimes, you need to take a break. that's why he always invites you to party with him—to engage with other people with loud music and full of laughter. but you always say that it's not your thing. but there's also one reason: you don't like seeing him engaging with other girls. but one night became different. you've been very exhausted, studying and understanding the lessons. jay tried hard to convince you to come party with him and after much persuasion, you finally agreed. the thought of letting loose for a night felt refreshing, even if it was just to spend time with him. as you stepped into the vibrant atmosphere of the party, the pulsating music and laughter enveloped you, a stark contrast to your usual quiet nights. jay was by your side, his energy infectious. you could see why everyone was drawn to him; his smile lit up the room, and the way he moved made it seem as if he was born to be in the spotlight. you felt a mix of excitement and anxiety, not just from the crowd but from the nagging thought that perhaps this was a mistake. for a while, you managed to enjoy yourself, laughing at his jokes and even attempting to dance. but then, just as you were beginning to relax, jay's friends called him over. he glanced back at you, a reassuring smile on his face as he walked away. "wait for me, okay?" you just nodded. you watched him for a moment, feeling a familiar twinge of insecurity—what if he started flirting with someone else? your mind was racing when suddenly, a guy approached you. he was confident, charming, and you could see the interest in his eyes. you felt a blush creeping to your cheeks as he struck up a conversation. yet, as you tried to engage, a familiar figure caught your eye—jay returning from his conversation, his expression shifting from carefree to something more intense. in an instant, he made his way back to you, pulling you away from the guy and toward a quieter corner of the venue. the suddenness of it all made your heart race. “hey, what was that about?” he asked, his voice low but charged with an edge of jealousy. you blinked, surprised by his reaction. “he was just talking to me,” you replied, trying to downplay it, but his grip on your arm tightened slightly, his gaze searching yours. “just talking?” he echoed, his brows furrowing. “you know how guys can be. i don’t like it when they come up to you like that.” you felt your cheeks flush. “jay, it’s fine. i can handle myself,” you insisted, though a part of you relished his protectiveness. he stepped closer, lowering his voice. “it’s not just that."
