Summary
there it was. that hopeful, expectant tone. the one that makes jake's throat close up from the weight of it. it was the gentle, patient, forgiving type of pleading that makes his heart stutter with hope, being given another chance. maybe it's wrong, the way he's easing into relief now.
maybe he shouldn't let the man pick his reactions apart just to offer him the sharp ends of his scraps, knowing jake would take it for being compliant, for being so desperate to prove. maybe he knows he shouldn't be feeling so compelled to make the man happy. maybe, but who else would forgive him over and over despite knowing his many flaws as an idol?
jake maintains the eye contact with a breathless pause before he's saying shakily, "yes, manager-nim. i'll do it for you. i can do that."
the manager grins that sharp, satisfied grin that makes jake feel like he's doing something right for once.
and so the dog swallows the bone.
