Day 2. 14

Mark reached to the side of his bed and looked out the window of the room just staring blankly at it. He looked at his phone and saw he was receiving a FaceTime call from Jackson. He let the call go out and soon after a message popped on his screen.

Jackson🥵💦: why are you answering me? Are you still alseep?

Markie🌷😗: I didn't answer you because I just woke up and I look like shit without make up on.

Jackson🥵💦: no you don't I bet you look even more gorgeous without it. Come on just answer the call I want to see your pretty face.

Markie🌷😗:fine , but call me in like a minute I need to go pee first.

Jackson🥵💦:bet

Mark rapidly got up and went to the bathroom and did his business and brushed his teeth. He cleaned his face and made his way towards his bed. He covered himself with his covers and his phone started ringing Mark answered quickly not looking at the ID caller. He expected to hear Jackson's voice, but instead he heard Jinyoung's.

"Good morning baby."

Mark looked up at his screen with wide eyes, but played it off by smiling.

"Good morning."

"How are you?"

"I-."

Mark was about to answer, but a message came through from Jackson asking why he wasn't answering.

"I'm good, hey I gotta go. My dad asked me to meet someone today."

"But it's Saturday it's your day off."

"I know baby, I just really have to go okay?"

"Umm okay. Bye I guess."

"Bye."

Just as quickly as he said Bye Mark clicked on Jackson's contact name and his phone started dialing. Mark expected to see Jackson, but instead he was meet with someone else. Although, he could hear Jackson yelling in the background.

"Hello my name is Bambam. I'm Jackson's friend and you are?"

"I-umm I'm his friend too my name is Mark."

"Are you that cute guy from the coffee shop?"

"Umm yes t-that's me."

"Aww you're so cute. Ok, but like what's your relationship with Jackson?"

"We're childhood best friends?"

"Oh. You're not his boyfriend?"

"No not yet."

"Umm ok. Well Mark we need to meet you and you need to come over ASAP or else we're going to cut your mans balls off okay?"

Mark looked at the screen wide eyed when Bambam pulled out a knife.

"Sure. Send me your address please."

"Really you'll come over?"

"Yes I don't want Jackson to loose his b-balls."

"Okay I'll send you the address."

Before Mark could respond back Bambam hung up on him and a minute after he received an address under his messages with Jackson. He groaned and went to take a shower and dressed in some black, tight, knee ripped pants along with a baby blue shirt. He did his make up and put some jewelry on. He grabbed a black windbreaker and a notification showed up showing his Uber was outside for him waiting. He made sure he had his things with him and headed out.

He got out of the Uber and walked towards the entrance of the building where a tall guy was standing. He looked at the guy who was intensely staring at him. He noticed that the guy had very long legs and that he was technically 90% legs and 10% body. He slightly giggled at his thought and made his way towards the door. Once he was close enough Mark noticed that the guy was Bambam he walked towards him and gave him a hug.

"Hey."

"Hi queen."

"Shall we go inside?"

"Let's go."

The two laughed at their stupidity and walked inside the building Bambam leading the way. Mark stepped in and was met with people he didn't know standing. He felt a bit awkward as he didn't see Jackson's anywhere.

"Okay guys this is Mark. Jackson's future mans."

Mark looked at all of them shyly and smiled while bowing his head.

"Hello my name is Mark Tuan. I'm from L.A. Nice to meet you all and I hope we can be friends."

A chorus of awws and cute were heard after he finished.

"Well how about we all introduce ourselves and then we can go get Jackson." Bambam spoke

"Hello my name is Yugyeom. I'm the Maknae of the group and I'm pleased to meet you."

"Hi my name is Youngjae and this is my baby Coco. Welcome."

"As you know I'm Bambam I'm from Thailand so you're not the only foreigner here."

"Nice to meet you all."

"Okay sit down and I'll go get Jackson."

Mark sat down with Yugyeom and Youngjae and waited for Bambam to come with Jackson, but he never expected to see what he saw. Along with Bambam and Jackson came his friend JB who knew he was dating Jinyoung.

"Okay Jackson lets see who is this guy you've talking about so much." JB spoke up before looking up and seeing Mark sitting on the couch. JB and Mark looked at each other wide eyed before Mark spoke up and tried to play it off. Mark got up and walked towards JB acting excited to see his friend.

"JB! Oh my Gosh! Look at you! I didn't think I would see you here."

JB was still in shock and was confused as he knew Mark and Jinyoung had been dating for a while now. So if Mark was talking to Jackson, then did he break up with Jinyoung? Yeah he probably had Mark wasn't the guy to cheat on someone.

JB engulfed Mark in a hug as he figured he would just talk to the older later.

"Hey Mark. How are you?"

"I've been good and you?"

"I'm good when did you get here?"

"Like three days ago."

"Oh that's cool. Wow you look better in person."

Mark giggled and said a small thanks before Bambam spoke up.

"Ok yes lovely, but you're not Jackson so move."

Bambam said while pushing JB to the side and pushing Jackson towards Mark. Jackson chest bumped with Mark's who almost fell on the floor if it wouldn't have been for Jackson catching him. Jackson helped Mark stand up and everyone else oohed at them. They all sat down across the living room and started asking questions to Mark and Jackson. They all talked to each other and Mark felt comfortable around all of them especially Jackson.

Mark stood up to leave and everyone started saying their goodbyes. Jackson was walking with Mark to the door, when JB spoke up.

"Hey if you don't mind I'll walk Mark downstairs. I want to tell him something."

"Umm sure don't worry."

Jackson said before he gave Mark a hug and a kiss on the forehead. Mark gave a small wave to everyone else in the room before stepping outside with JB.

"I know what you want to ask me."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"What is it then?"

"You want to know if I'm still dating Jinyoung."

"Huh, Yeah that's actually what I was going to ask you."

"I still am, but hold up. I'm going to break up with him as soon as possible."

"Mark that's still wrong though. You shouldn't cheat on him."

"What would you do if he would've cheated on you? Look just please don't tell anyone please. When I saw Jackson after such a long time I couldn't believe it. It was the happiest I've been since I left him. Every time I'm with him my heart speeds up and I just become a mess. Just please JB don't tell anyone."

"Fine I won't tell anyone I didn't know Jinyoung had cheated on you. I won't tell anyone, but just don't do anything stupid okay?"

"Okay thank you you're the best."

"No problem you know I'm here for you."

"I know thanks. Alright that's my ride thanks love. Take care."

"Bye."

They both hugged each other. Mark got in the car happy and relieved to have a friend like JB. JB walked back to the dorm heavy hearted to have to deal with someone who's cheating on his crush.
