If dying is a valid option, why not take it and save himself from embarrassment and possible hatred from the person he holds feelings for, maybe even disgust; Jack stopped halfway through going to their meet up spot, maybe it would be better if he doesn't meet him, facing him has already been proven to be a challenge and they haven't even met yet, but his heart is beating so loudly, what will happen when they do come face-to-face? Will his heart just leave his body and go to Corey? Because that's a very possible outcome.
Jack was considering going back but it was too late for that, Corey have already spotted him, going to greet him, while he was busy staring at the ground, thinking about running away and forgetting about Corey and his feelings towards him.
