Work Text:
The full moon gleams across the private beach, the brightest thing here apart from the hotel not too far off and the light radiating from Jay"s phone as he traverses the quiet seashore, on the search for something unknown.
He"s usually like this, his mind completely shut out from the outside world, and as a result he doesn"t notice Jake observing his lithe silhouette, committing his image to memory. It"s kind of hard not to; Jay"s wearing this loose tank top that showcases his gloriously tanned skin for all to see.
Jake smirks around his champagne flute the moment Jay decides to stretch, causing the already thin fabric to ride up his stomach and expose his narrow, toned waist.
Someone nudges Jake"s ribs right then. He snaps out of his heated thoughts – which all center around the silver haired male – and turns to the guy currently huddled up next to him. When their eyes lock, he grins, leaning into his deckchair.
"Stop perving on the poor guy when you have a boyfriend, Jake," Sunghoon enunciates, giving Jake a pointed look. His hair"s damp as he"d showered an hour ago, the strands as soft as they"d felt between Jake"s fingers that afternoon inside their bedroom while he came in Sunghoon"s mouth. Jake remembers Jay"s words before it all went down too, something about going to town and giving the two of them some "much needed couple bonding time".
The memory amuses Jake as much as Sunghoon"s words. He slaps his boyfriend"s arm, rolling his eyes when the guy dramatically hisses in pain.
"Saw you checking Jay"s ass out this morning," Jake accuses Sunghoon with a playful glare, even when he completely understands him. Jay"s got a really great butt, especially with those shorts he wore earlier. "While he was ordering room service for us too. I mean, who even does that?"
"No, I wasn"t. You know I got new contact lenses and they were making my eyes dry, and – and he was right there," Sunghoon denies, averting his gaze while Jake laughs out loud. "Jake, I"m serious."
"You also think he"s hot, don"t you?" Jake says, back to staring at Jay who"s now crouching, observing something he found in the sand. The waves splash against his slippers and he jolts, nearly falling over. Jake cringes. "I mean, he"s kind of a dork, but still."
A soft smile flits over Sunghoon"s face, the one that properly shows his prominent canines – something that"s usually only reserved for Jake.
"What is it?" Sunghoon asks once he notices Jake has caught him staring at Jay, as if it isn"t extremely obvious. As if his rosy cheeks aren"t a consequence of the oblivious twenty two year old currently staring out into the sea like a middle-aged man pondering over his life choices so far.
"You were the one who suggested he should come along on this trip," Jake says, sipping some of his champagne. "You practically begged him."
"I didn"t beg," Sunghoon argues, looking Jay"s way once more as if the guy can somehow eavesdrop on their conversation even from this distance. "He said he had nowhere to go this summer. Then I remembered hey, you and I are going to Japan, so I was like, "Do you wanna come to Japan with us, Jay?", and then he was like, "Dude, that sounds great! Thanks man!" That"s literally how it went. Literally."
Jake glares at his boyfriend even though he"s cracking up on the inside. He knows Sunghoon, knows his boyfriend is lying out of his ass.
"You bought his flight ticket –" Jake starts.
"That"s what a good friend does," Sunghoon interrupts, flicking open his soda can.
"– before he even agreed," Jake finishes. "Were you even that enthusiastic about me when we first started dating two years ago?"
Sunghoon nearly spews the soda all over Jake – which would have been a travesty as Jake took a lot of time to style his hair tonight, thank you very much. "Babe, you know I love you."
God, he"s such a dork. Jake loves him to the moon and back.
"I love you too, babe," Jake answers, finishing off his drink and slamming the glass on the small table between them. He"s a little flushed, no doubt, the alcohol adding to the determination coursing through his veins. "Which is why I gotta do this."
Sunghoon looks at him, wide-eyed. "What are you talking about?"
"I"m getting your man, Hoon." Jake rolls his shoulders, straightens his posture. "Getting our man."
Sunghoon"s jaw drops, clearly panicked. "Jake –"
But Jake is already on his way, undoing the first two buttons of his white shirt as he heads closer to the seashore, to where Jay is.
Jay"s barely moving, now snapping some pictures of the seashells he"s now apparently spotted. It isn"t out of the ordinary; he majored in photography and Jake was kind of irked when they first met "cause he wouldn"t stop taking pictures of him and Sunghoon, commending how "cute" they looked together. It was even worse when Sunghoon had welcomed it with open arms.
Now you can say Jake"s a fan of Jay, especially once he realized he and his boyfriend fancy him.
Jay"s even more gorgeous up close, but it"s like the guy doesn"t even realize it as he"s always dressed in clothes that almost conceal his beauty.
Jay can never look bad, however. Jake"s dating a guy that can literally pass as a supermodel, but Jay – sweet, simple Jay – has never once left his mind either.
Jake smiles once Jay sees him, and it broadens the moment Jay"s nearly drops his phone.
"Hey," Jake greets, sultry, even though they grabbed dinner at some Italian restaurant like, a couple hours ago.
"Hi," Jay answers. He then chuckles, scratching his nape. He"s nervous, and Jake likes that a lot. It reminds him all too well of when he first made his move on Sunghoon two years before. They"d been at the same beach resort in the Maldives, Sunghoon a blushing, stammering mess while Jake flirted his way onto his dick (and then his heart).
"Accidentally took your picture," Jay murmurs.
"Lemme see." Jake stands close enough for their shoulders to brush. Jay smells all woody and manly, contrasting Sunghoon"s usual fresh, citrusy scent. Jake wonders how it"ll feel like to be between the two of them, their arms – bodies caging him. He craves it, he realizes.
Jay stiffens, but his features remain composed – just barely. He shows the photo, and Jake chortles at how ruffled his hair is from the wind, a little embarrassed.
"My fingers slipped," Jay explains, abashed. He rubs his neck. "You still look beautiful, though."
Oh. Jake grins, glances at Sunghoon who"s still stapled to his deckchair, gripping his soda for dear life. "You think I"m beautiful?"
"I mean –" Jay clears his throat like he"s been caught saying something he shouldn"t. He fidgets with his phone, dark eyes darting to Sunghoon. "You both are. You two... have a beautiful relationship."
Jake bites his lip. This is gonna be harder than I thought. He leans in, pretends to stumble on nothing and hides his pleased smile when Jay immediately steadies him, his strong arms gripping his waist in the process.
Jake can feel Sunghoon glaring holes into the back of his head. I"m doing this for our benefit, he wants to tell him.
"Sorry," Jake exhales, gripping Jay"s bicep. It flexes beneath his touch. Jay is not watching him, but his ears are beet red. "Who knew beaches were this risky?"
"Are you drunk?" Jay asks, still holding him close.
"M"not that drunk," Jake answers, smirking once their eyes meet. "I think Sunghoon and I have an amazing relationship too. I also think you"re beautiful."
"So you"re drunk." Jay"s jaw clenches. It"s incredibly hot, but he looks mad.
Shit, this is so not going according to plan. Jake internally panics. "You really are beautiful, Jay. Sunghoon thinks so too."
Jay"s throat bobs, pink blooming over his cheeks.
Jake glances as discreetly as he can at Sunghoon. "Are you seeing this?" he mouths.
"Huh?" Sunghoon mouths back, lost. Jesus.
Jake realizes he"ll have to do the heavy lifting in this burgeoning relationship, so he rests his head atop Jay"s chest, Jay"s heart ricocheting like crazy beneath his tank top. This drives him crazy, because if there"s one thing Jake likes, it"s making normally coolheaded men lose control with just a touch.
"Jake," Jay begins all of a sudden, his low voice soothing. "Are you tired? Do you want to head back to the hotel? I can call Sunghoon to come get you."
He"s so careful with his words, so safe. Jake"s reminded of how Sunghoon behaved when they first started dating – how nice and gentle he was. He"s still that way, but now when they fuck, Sunghoon doesn"t shy away from saying the dirtiest, filthiest things to get Jake going. Jake can"t help but wonder if Jay would be the same, or totally different.
Jay notices him staring, and looks away. "O-kay, let"s get you to bed."
"Why aren"t you acknowledging what I said earlier?" Jake prompts.
"What did you say earlier?" Jay asks, like it isn"t obvious. It dawns on Jake that maybe he has a type.
"You called me beautiful. Also called Sunghoon beautiful. And we also think you"re gorgeous," Jake says, deciding to stop beating around the bush. "Why are you avoiding the topic entirely?"
Jay"s grip around Jake loosens a little, but he still holds him in place. He chews his bottom lip, glancing at Jake and then Sunghoon before sighing deeply. Jake doesn"t like the sound of that sigh.
"You guys are like, the perfect couple." Jay sighs, glaring at the lumpy sand. "You two are basically gonna get married one day. You"re amazing and super smart and I"m just... there. The friend that tags along just "cause they"re available."
Jake blinks, not expecting those words at all. "What are you talking about? Sunghoon absolutely adores you. I adore you."
Jay doesn"t say anything, just continues to frown at the sand. Jake decides to hug him right then, and he"s so warm.
"And, Sunghoon and I may be STEM students but we both know we can"t leave that guy alone in a kitchen for everyone"s safety," Jake jokes, and Jay cracks a chuckle at that.
"Yeah, he"s terrible at cooking," Jay agrees, staring fondly at Sunghoon who is now downing his second can of soda. Jake can"t believe this guy.
"Sunghoon started crushing on you first," Jake confesses. "I think he liked you the moment he first met you at that frat party last year."
"Oh." Jay coughs. "Isn"t it weird, though? To date someone that also likes someone else?"
"I mean." Jake shrugs, observing his and Jay"s interlocked arms. "I admit I did get bothered at first. But then you wormed your way into my thoughts, and then my heart."
Jay smiles, his little dimple flashing. "That was kinda cheesy."
Jake punches his side. "I"m drunk, okay?"
Jay"s smile broadens, and fuck, he looks so dreamy and Jake wants to kiss him so bad. Then Jay looks over his shoulder, no doubt staring at his boyfriend again.
"He"s still watching us, isn"t he?" Jake asks.
"Yep," Jay confirms, his smile radiant.
Jake scowls at Sunghoon hard enough that the guy startles.
"Get your ass over here!" Jake yells.
Sunghoon immediately scrambles to his feet, rushing over in no time.
His cheeks are pastel pink when he takes in how close Jay and Jake are, and his blush further deepens under their attention.
Jake finds his boyfriend"s actions adorable, and tiptoes and pets his hair – something Sunghoon always likes. Then he pushes Sunghoon towards Jay, smirking when Sunghoon casts a panicked look his way.
"Jay wants to tell you something," Jake tells him, hoping his boyfriend won"t run away or do something equally as stupid.
"I do?" Jay questions, blinking twice.
Jake pats his back, forcing on a smile. "You do."
"What"s uh, what"s up, Jay?" Sunghoon asks, his vibrant pink blush stark against his fair skin.
"I um." Jay clears his throat, kicking at nothing. It almost feels like Jake"s watching two kindergarteners interact with the way Sunghoon and Jay are both avoiding each other"s gazes, blushing like crazy. "I like you a lot, Sunghoon."
"What?" Sunghoon freezes, eyes wide as saucers.
"I also like your boyfriend! Sorry," Jay blurts, and Jake internally facepalms.
"We like you too! Right, Hoon?" Jake watches Sunghoon, trying to gauge his expression.
"You like me," Sunghoon says.
Jay"s eyes become even wider. "Yes."
"And you like Jake too," Sunghoon clarifies.
"I... I do." Jay nods slowly.
Sunghoon steps even closer. "Can I kiss you?"
Jay swallows hard. "Please."
It"s the hottest thing Jake has ever seen. Sunghoon leans in, holds Jay"s face and slots their lips together, and hell, Jake is so glad he decided to be bold tonight.
Jake has always loved Sunghoon"s taller height, how broad he was in comparison to Jake and how protected he made Jake feel whenever they were close. And now, Jake gets to appreciate it from another point of view. Jay"s tall too yet Sunghoon has an inch or two over him, and Jay lets Sunghoon take control, pliant under his touch while Sunghoon grips his waist and kisses him like he"s been starved of it for days.
And then Jake gets pulled into their web by Sunghoon, because Jay is still reeling, still flustered and clearly turned on. Sunghoon then hugs Jake from behind while he faces Jay head on, the taller"s mouth swollen and eyes glazed over with desire. Jake is so into it.
"You okay?" Jake teases, unable to hide his smirk.
Jay nods, pupils dilated. "Y-yeah."
Sunghoon kisses along Jake"s neck, and Jake finally gets a taste of Jay, slipping his tongue into his mouth.
Jay moans aloud, and it"s pure bliss – especially as Jake can feel Sunghoon"s erection pressing against his ass.
"You"re so desperate. I just kissed you, and you"re already like this," Jake whispers into Jay"s ear, all of a sudden channeling what he and Sunghoon tell each other in private.
Sunghoon definitely hears this, and guessing by the way his grip tightens possessively around Jake, he likes it.
"I know you"d readily take whatever I give you, Jay," Jake breathes, biting down on Jay"s lip. Jay moans some more, eyelids fluttering shut, and Jake trails his hands up his top and across his warm torso, thumbs brushing his nipples. Sunghoon is now palming Jake over his jeans, caressing his clothed length.
"Another kiss and I"d get you coming. Don"t even have to try. But that wouldn"t be enough, now would it? You"d love it if I fucked myself senseless on your cock while Sunghoon watches, right?" Jake asks Jay, mouthing along his sharp jawline. Jay ruts mindlessly against him in the meantime, delirious.
"But then again, I bet you won"t be satisfied until Sunghoon holds you down and fucks you too, while I focus on your pretty mouth," Jake says.
Jay lets out this low whimper that stirs something frenzied and molten within Jake, and then their mouths are locked once more, messy and intense and all tongue. Sunghoon quickly joins in, and Jay watches on, bewitched as Sunghoon kisses Jake so hard it"ll probably bruise later, his fingers stroking his slicked cock beneath the waistband of his boxers.
Fuck, Jake wants to go even further.
"We should head back inside. It"s freezing out here," Sunghoon says, his hand still in Jake"s pants.
Jake and Jay both nod, Jay"s tank top worse for wear under Jake"s too playful fingers.
They gather their stuff and head back to the hotel, all three of them trying their absolute hardest to keep their hands off each other.
As soon as they enter their suite however, all hell breaks loose. Clothes are tugged off, hands and mouths suddenly ravaging naked, flushed bodies. They decide to play out Jake"s narration from earlier and more, and while Jay had admittedly been nervous at first, Jake and Sunghoon had talked him through it. They loosened him up and fucked him right, praising him as he did so good.
Jake and Sunghoon convince Jay to shower with them after they"re done, and when they"re back in the bed under new covers, Jay lies in the middle. He"s content, albeit a little overwhelmed.
Jake rests his head on Jay"s chest, while Sunghoon wraps an arm around his waist. Jake is pretty sure Jay"s heartbeat can lull him to sleep if he concentrates hard enough.
"Thanks, guys," Jay says.
"Hm? For what?" Sunghoon questions, hooking his chin over Jay"s bare shoulder. Now that they"re aware of their feelings, Sunghoon"s far clingier now, something that had surprised Jake when they first began dating.
"For letting me in. For... giving me a chance, I guess," Jay replies.
Jake stares up at him, poking his cheek. "Jay, please stop looking down on yourself. We like you. We wouldn"t have done this with you if we didn"t."
"Yeah," Sunghoon adds, pecking Jay"s shoulder. "You"re not some guy we decided to hookup with just for the fun of it. You"re Park Jay. You"re my best friend, my bro –"
"You"re special to the both of us," Jake says, because Sunghoon really sucks at expressing himself sometimes. "And... we"re interested in pursuing a relationship with you. But we don"t wanna pressure you or anything. It"s perfectly okay if you say no."
"Yes, that"s what I wanted to say." Sunghoon nods. Jay laughs, the tension in the atmosphere easing up.
"I am nervous, not gonna lie," Jay says, running his hand through Jake"s hair. "But, I think... I think I"d like that very much."
Jake grins, thrilled. "I"m happy you agreed."
Sunghoon beams, hugging an ecstatic Jay tight. And then he reaches over, taking Jake"s hand in his. His smile makes Jake"s heart flutter. "I"m happy too. Now can we cuddle?"
Jake just shakes his head and squeezes Sunghoon"s hand, more than used to his boyfriend"s antics.
Jay chuckles and makes himself more comfortable. "Yeah, let"s do that."
Before long they"re tangled up in each other, and Jake has never slept so soundly in his life.
When Jake wakes up the following day, Jay and Sunghoon are already up, both in bath robes as they chat silently about something across the bed. Before them stands a large service tray filled with food, and Jake"s stomach immediately grumbles.
Sunghoon notices him first, a tender smile quickly spreading over his handsome features. "I see princess Jake is awake."
"I"ll murder you in cold blood if you say that again," Jake threatens.
Sunghoon playfully rolls his eyes, while Jay grins at him, ducking his head.
"Morning, Jake," he greets, taking a plate of waffles topped off with berries and syrup. "Hungry?"
"Not my best friend one-upping me," Sunghoon laments.
Jake sticks out his tongue at him, but then hugs him as an apology while Jay gently feeds him a forkful of waffles. It"s delicious, as expected, even more so since Jay is feeding it to him.
"Can we like, take a picture to commemorate this moment?" Sunghoon suggests right then. "Because this is so cute."
"I"m literally naked right now," Jake says, hogging the sheets around his hips.
"Still cute." Sunghoon kisses his cheek.
Jay rummages through his bag for his phone and rushes back to them when he finally gets it. There"s a smile on his face that hasn"t fallen off since the morning started.
Jay sits, positioning himself in front of Jake and Sunghoon who are now cuddling, displaying peace signs and enthusiastic smiles respectively, but Jake guesses Jay"s hands must be clammy because his phone gallery gets revealed instead.
And... it"s crazy.
One would think Jay is running a shrine or something, because there are countless pictures of Jake and Sunghoon on his phone. And, while Jake knew Jay liked taking their pictures, he"d always assumed it wasn"t that serious. Always assumed it wasn"t this much.
But... why does it also kind of excite Jake a little?
Jay startles, his entire face a bright red. "Fuck. I can explain."
"Woah." Sunghoon whistles. "All this time, you were just as obsessed with us as we were with you. That... is so hot."
"Really?" Jay asks.
Jake chuckles, the situation humouring him a little. He nudges Jay, trying to get him to relax a bit. "Yeah. You"re clearly very into us. We like that."
"Although more photos of me would"ve been nice," Sunghoon jokes good-naturedly, leaning over Jake"s shoulder. "Just a smidge."
"I"m really bad at deleting photos." Jay groans, rubbing his face. "Fuck. This is so embarrassing."
Jake laughs, hugging him to comfort him a little. So Jay is kind of weird, but does it really matter when Jake likes being obsessed over? "It"s okay, Jay."
"Yep, it"s totally fine." Sunghoon nods, entwining his and Jay"s hands. "Now, let"s finish up this breakfast, shall we? We have a bunch of shit we need to do today, so chop chop."
"Always so classy, you," Jake says, and everyone cracks up.
Jay eventually takes their picture, and when they"re finally ready to leave, Jake asks for it.
"Why?" Jay asks.
"Lockscreen," Jake answers, and smiles at the blush that envelopes Jay"s face at this. He likes the fact that he can transform this cool, calm and collected guy into this so easily.
"What are you guys talking about?" Sunghoon asks as he joins them, clutching a key fob.
"Wanna put us three as my lockscreen," Jake reveals, throwing his arms around the two of them. It"s clear they don"t expect this judging by their matching wide-eyed stares, but they"re both grinning afterwards, absolutely whipped for him.
And, Jake won"t have it any other way.

Jake is next seen frantically rushing out of the mall and into his car to drive back to their shared apartment, because he doesnt want to miss out on anything.
