25. Together

Jackson ran his fingers through his hair. He clearly did not think this through.

He paced back and forth in front of Jaebeom's apartment.

Oh fuck it.

Pressing the doorbell, his heart pounded as the doorbell chimed.

"Jackson?" Jaebeom opened the door, surprised to see Jackson.

"Come in. Did you tell Mark or BamBam that you came?"

"Oh. Mark knows." Jackson fiddled with the hem of his jacket.

Carrying his duffel bag on his shoulder, Jackson stepped into the apartment.

Well, it is not really an apartment. More like a penthouse.

But that is for another time. Right now, he is not here to admire Jaebeom's house.

Placing his duffel bag on the floor, Jackson turned to face Jaebeom.

"I apologise. I should have told you beforehand that I was coming." Jackson cast his head down.

Jaebeom waved it off, smiling. "Don't worry about it. Your visit is a pleasant surprise."

Jackson breathed a sigh of relief.

Jaebeom cupped Jackson's face gently with his left hand, his thumb grazing the eyebags under Jackson's eyes.
"But if you don't mind me asking, are you alright? Why did you come here so suddenly?" Jaebeom asked worriedly.

They stood only a palm's length from each other.

Jackson took in a deep breath before exhaling. Leaning into Jaebeom's touch.

"I thought about your confession.

More like wrecked my brain trying to figure out my feelings for you.

And I'm sorry I took such a long time.

Once Mark knocked some sense into me, which was just 20 hours ago, I immediately came to tell you.

That I love you too Jaebeom."

Seeing Jaebeom's stunned reaction, Jackson bit his bottom lip.

"Ah. Sorry. I never confessed to anyone before. I should have bought roses and chocolates before coming to meet you. But I can't think of anything other than wanting to see you as soon as possible."

As Jackson rambled on, his ears grew redder.

All of a sudden, he felt a pair of soft lips on his, effectively shutting him up.

Jackson's eyes widened.

Jaebeom was kissing him!

He recovered from his shock when he felt an arm snake around his waist, pulling him closer.

Jackson kissed back, his heart soaring at the thought of being with his love.

Jackson pouted when he felt Jaebeom's lips leave his. His eyes fell on Jaebeom's lips.

It wasn't enough for him. His newly found feelings stirred his overwhelming desire.

Grabbing the back of Jaebeom's nape, Jackson closed the gap between them. The moment their lips touched, Jackson's lips parted out of his own will.

Jaebeom held the back of Jackson's head, bringing them even closer. Tilting his head, Jaebeom deepened the kiss.

Jackson wrapped his legs around Jaebeom's waist. He could feel both of their bulges touching.

Jaebeom cupped Jackson's ass, squeezing it slightly. "Ah~" Jackson moaned into the kiss.

Walking to his bedroom, Jaebeom kicked the door close.
