If I Can't Have You | GOT7 [SEQUEL] ✔

Chapter Sixteen

Jackson looked at his schedule as Rosette left, he was free after six in the afternoon. "I'll stop by" he smiled to himself as he stood up to put on his shirt. Looking at himself as he got dressed, he noticed the bruises he was left with on his neck, shoulder and chest. His fingertips grazed the marks as memories of the midnight actions surfaced. "what did we just do?" He asked himself as his cheeks turned red. He blushed at the thought of their actions.

He began to think that he was just as bad as Ariana and Jaebeom in this situation, he should feel guilty....but he don't. His mind ran wild, never once has he thought sexually about Rosette. He found her beautiful but their relationship was mostly platonic, tonight changed that.

"Jackson" Jaebeom greeted his friend as they both entered the building at the same time. "Hey bro" he smiled at his former leader. "I can't believe we're actually done with JYP." Jackson chuckled as they walked. "I know." The company between the two fell silence and somewhat..awkward. "You're meeting Ariana?" Jackson asked as the elevator moved up. "I actually came to see, Rosette" Jackson bit his lip and Jaebeom noticed. "Same." The air fell silent again as the door arrived to it's destination.

The walked to the studio in silence, upon entrance they was met with music along with Teddy and Rose. "Jackson! Hey!" She screamed out as she spot the male who entered the studio first. As they lowered the music, she noticed Jaebeom. "Hi Rose." She stared for a moment. "Hi Jaebeom." He flinched as the obvious change in tone and greeting. Looking at the trio as tension rise, Teddy excused himself. "Tomorrow?" He questioned Rose as she agreed.

"Why are you here?" She glared as he spoke. "We didn't finish our conversation." Her brows furrowed as she faked a thought. "I thought we did." He shook his head and became quite awkward with Jackson sudden involvement in their conversation. "Jackson, can you leave...for a bit?" Jackson stood up and Rose sat him down. "He's just as involved as me. He can hear." Jaebeom stared at her and noticed something he wished he didn't. He noticed something both of them coincidentally have.

"Are those hickey's?"

"

Jaebeom isn't here yet." Ariana groaned as she sat on her bed. Tonight was their personal celebration of her record hitting number one on the charts. She texted him as her calls failed to be answered.

"Yeah." She said boldly and Jackson looked at her in shock. "What? We did it last night, didn't we?" She turned from Jackson back to the male who stood before them in shock. "You two....slept together?" She shrugged. "It's been a while and Jackson was there and available so, why not?" Jaebeom throat ran dry as the information was just hitting him as harmless knowledge. "You two slept together..." His voice trailed off as reality hit him.

"You slept with my fucking friend and band mate?" She smiled softly. "Well, why do that sound so familiar?" She smirked softly as Jackson held his head down. "You really just did that to me." He looked at Jackson and the Chinese native defended himself. "It just happened." Jaebeom was about to speak but Rose interrupted. "Jackson, need to explain. That is not his problem." She looked at Jaebeom who has visible tears in his eyes. "Is this revenge or something? I didn't think you were like this.."

Rose shook her head. "Honestly, you didn't cross my mind once when Jackson was pleasing me to oblivion. Not before, after or during." She stepped forward "neither did I do it with malicious intent due to him being your friend and band mate. As he said, it just happened." Jaebeom tears fell and her smug look dropped. "You know what fucking suck right now?" Jaebeom asked and continued before she can answered. "That after all that shit I just heard I still love you."

"That's only because you're guilty....and thinking two wrongs will suddenly make everything right" Jackson interjected and Jaebeom retaliated quickly. "Shut the fuck up Jackson." Jackson stood up but rosette pushed him down and sat on his lap before the situation escaladed. Jaebeom left after an intense stare off between the two alpha males. "Was I just a rebound fuck or what?" His voice held aggression and rosette sat facing forward on his lap.

"No, it just so happen to look that way." She responded. "So what are we? Friends or more?" She shrugged. "I'll be lying if I said I don't love him. I'm trying to unlove him though....I just can't." She sighed and looked at Jackson. "I just want a distraction, from everything. That's a horrible thing but it's what's filling me in this moment." She continued. "I'm sorry if you feel used, it wasn't my intention." He kissed her and she deepened it. "Only because it's you, and I want you safe. You can use me..if you need a distraction, I'm here."

She played with his hair and stared at him. "If you find a girl you like, don't hesitate to stop." He chuckled. "Don't worry about that." He kissed her softly once again unaware of the door opening to the male to returned for his cell phone. He grabbed it quickly and walked out. "Sorry Ariana, I'm stuck at the studio." The truth Jaebeom texted became a lie as he sat in a bar.
