Jake's eyes widened as soon as he felt someone behind him. Maybe it was the fact that he wasn't all there that had brought his guard down, but it seemed to snap him back to reality, if only for a split second as he jolted when he felt the presence, now moving to jerk away from the individual who had snuck up on him.
It made Jake lose balance momentarily, completely stepping out of his hiding place and crashing into the wall significantly closer to Min-Hyuk. His eyes had a wild panic in them as he was caught between both men, there was no way out and now Jake had to make a decision.

"I got into a fight, alright? Three against one and I really overshot my ability to take them all on." He paused. "Well, not that I had a choice." He spoke, his voice becoming even more strained as he kept a wary eye on both guys, not trusting either.
"The real question should be why the hell are you in cuffs? Either you're a real piece of work the cops are after or a kinky bastard with no shame" Jake mused, the edges of his lips twitching into a near-nervous smile as he kept pressure on his wound, his hand covered in blood.
Jake's eyes flickered over to the light switch that was beside him, hitting the lights. There was no use, they all might as well see who they were talking to.

"And you…" Jake gave Evan a look of disbelief. "Do you always sneak up on others? I could be anyone you know, hurt or not- for example, I could have a knife? Or a gun?" Jake said, gesturing dramatically with his hand despite the vertigo he was currently experiencing from stumbling out into the open, now having nothing to lean on as he tried to maintain a somewhat "healthy" look. He refused to let the parties involved know how bad it really was, opting to not use the wall beside him as support and keep himself upright. It took a lot of effort but Jake pulled it off.
Kind of.
There wasn't a whole lot he could do in this situation and if either guy decided to stick him with something sharp or fill him with bullets, so be it. He wouldn't lay down and take it, but if he died here in the back of a shitty gas station, that was just bad luck and meant the universe had a twisted sense of humor.

He shrugged, "Uh- no I didn't mean to sneak up on you, I swear! I was just coming from behind you because there wasn't any other way to enter the room and one of you called me back here." He rubbed the back of his neck, letting out a nervous chuckle. "I wouldn't have cared about if you had a knife or a gun…I just noticed that you needed help and I wanted to help you. I still do…you don't look like you're doing good." He spoke, a look of concern as he stared at Jake.

He sighed softly, looking over at Min Hyuk, "Do you need some sort of help…? I can see your movement…but I don't quite understand what you're doing." He didn't know the story of either of these two…but he still wanted to help as best he could.

He didn't have anything on him to defend himself, even if he wanted too. So if anyone tried to attack him, all he would have is his fists.

Jake stared suspiciously back at Evan, the distrust clearly written all over his face in that moment.
"Yeah… alright.." Jake muttered back, shifting to position himself in a more comfortable position, however, seeming to stagger as he did.

"I really have no business being here and should really leave" Jake suddenly spoke up again, most of it was him covering for the fact that he had a few seconds before his body decided to give up on him. He absolutely did not want these strangers around him should he pass out, there was too much uncertainty and if he could help it, he'd pass out somewhere on the streets where it was empty.
He paused for a moment, taking in a deep breath before he decided to risk it and move, and as soon as he did, everything spun. He hadn't even taken the first step towards leaving but his body was burnt out, most of his energy gone.
"Fuck…" Jake breathed as he slid down the wall and sat himself down on the floor in hopes that maybe he could recompose himself. Maybe Jake didn't trust these guys but there was some sort of level being put into them not doing anything as he tried not to nod off. He was exhausted and falling into unconsciousness was very tempting- not just now, it was always tempting, but especially now that he felt like he had reached the end of the line.
