Boy band. 7

Jackson threw himself on the floor, sweat dripping down his body from the exhausting eight hours of dance practice that had just finished. He looked at his side and smiled at the sight of the other trainee looking more dead than ever.

With the last bit of energy, he had left. Jackson crawled over to the said trainee and placed himself on top of him. He heard a groan in response and felt bad, but was too tired to move.

"Jackson you're cool and everything, but get he fuck off of me. If not I'm going to cut your dick."

Instantly Jackson removed himself from Bambam's and instead laid on the floor. The two were so exhausted they didn't even bother looking towards the direction of the sound of a door being opened. Instead they both laid there panting and trying not to fall asleep.

"You guys look like shit."

Bambam opened his eyes only to meet yugyeoms. The Thai man-made grabby gestures towards the said male who happily grabbed a hold of him and helped him up. Jackson watched the exchange of gestures between the two and could only show his disgust at the two by rolling on his stomach. His back facing the two.

"Hyung do you want me to call Jae Hyung and tell him to come to pick you up."

Jackson thought about the Argentine male and felt his heart slightly speed up. He thought about having someone to take care of him and he liked the thought of it, but before he could continue an image of an American boy flashed through his mind and he frowned.

"Thanks, Yugyeom, but no I'll just rest for a bit more and I'll see you guys later in the dorms."

"Okay. Bye Hyung take care."

With that Jackson was left alone in the dancing studio with his thoughts running wild. They ranged from the aches taking over his body to the American boy who had left him almost 11 years ago. After mentally draining himself Jackson picked himself up with the last bit of energy he had and made his way towards the dorms of the entertainment company.

When he stepped inside the apartment he found it odd that everything was extremely quiet. He shrugged it off and walked towards his bathroom and took a shower. He dressed in a set of comfortable clothes and made his way towards the kitchen to get some water.

When he stepped foot inside the room the lights were instantly turned on and his friends started singing happy birthday to him. Jackson started crying and trying to hide his face, but all of his friends came close to him so he could blow out the candles.

"Make a wish Hyung," Felix said

Jackson closed his eyes and made a wish. All his friends cheered while Jackson blew the candles out. He and his friends started goofing around while eating cake and drinking a soft drink. His friends started messing around with the piano in their dorm and making lame jokes. (Reference to the video above😏🥳but imagine the JYP idols instead of the SM idols.)

After eating and celebrating a bit more everyone went back to their set places. Only Jackson was left in the kitchen with his friend Youngjae. They both cleaned the kitchen and other things that were dirtied in the mini birthday party.

"Young-Jae?"

"Umm?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For this."

"You mean the mini birthday party?"

"Yeah."

Youngjae smiled and turned to give Jackson a hug. The older of the two returned the gesture.

"Don't worry, but why are you saying thank you? It's just a party."

Youngjae lightly chucked and hit Jackson on his shoulder.

"You know one day I'm going to chop your hand off if you don't stop hitting me."

"I'm sorry damn so serious."

Jackson rolled his eyes.

"I'm grateful because maybe to you guys is not a big deal, but for me it is. The last time someone celebrated my birthday was roughly 11 years ago."

Youngjae gasped and covered his mouth. He grabbed Jackson and hugged him.

"I'm sorry love."

"Don't apologize. You have nothing to be sorry for."

"Wait, you have celebrated your birthday before that right?"

Jackson bitterly smiled while looking at Youngjae.

"Yeah, I used to have a very best friend. He was amazing. He was always there for me on the ups and downs. He never judged me and he accepted me for who he was. I remember that for every single year on my birthday he would do something so special that made fall for him even more. He was the only person besides my mom that would be happy on my birthday. Everyone else either forgot or just didn't acknowledge it. I was always happy on my birthday until he left and then my mom died two days after that."

Youngjae hugged Jackson even harder as the older was sobbing at that point. Youngjae had to admit that he was also crying as he had never heard this side of Jackson's story before.

The older was always smiling and making everyone else around him laugh, but behind all of that was a sad boy who had been treated unfairly by life.

"I'm sorry to hear that Jackson. I had never thought something like that had happened to you. I'm really glad you have enough trust to have shared that with me. I can't promise you everything will be rainbows and marshmallows, but what I can promise you is that I'm going to be here for you and help you with whatever I can."

Youngjae looked at Jackson in the eyes and smiled at the older, he returned the gesture and gave one last hug to the younger.

"Thank you Youngjae."

"No problem, now wash your face so we can take pictures."

The older did as he was told and the two took pictures together before heading off to bed.

Honestly, like not lying, I was laughing my ass off while writing this chapter. I tried to be serious on the emotional part, but freaken NCT is too much for me to handle. Please stan them if you don't. I love y'all and thank you for reading my book. I'm trying my best to make it as good as possible. Please vote and comment.
