"I don't like Jinyoung, Ge...I...I think...it's beyond that now. I think I'm in trouble, Mark." Jackson finally told Mark about his feelings towards Jinyoung.
"Finally! I'm happy that you like someone. But how come you sounded sad?" Mark asked.
"Because it's one-sided, Ge...and it's too complicated. I also told myself to stop what I feel for him....but I think it will be hard to do so now." Jackson added.
"Why? Because of Bammie? Nayeon mentioned that BamBam told Bella he wished he also had 2 parents like her. That says a lot, don't you think?" his older cousin asked. "And how do you know it was one-sided?" he added.
"You know that Jinyoung doesn't like me the way I like him, right? He was clear about that from the start....and with Bammie wishing to have 2 parents...he only said that because he is infatuated with his teacher."
"Bammie's teacher? Who? Ms. Somi? Ms. Hyuna?" Mark questioned.
Jackson softly replied, "His Korean teacher, Ge."
Mark gasped then asked Jackson, "Do you know who your son's Korean teacher is?"
"Yeah, Yugyeom's father. Mr. Park. We actually keep in touch and talk about Bammie's progression at school, you know. We kind of bonded over being a working single parent."
"Jackson...have you met Mr. Park?"
Jackson went silent. He contemplated whether to tell his cousin about his discovery or not. "Jackson Wang! Do you know who Mr. Park is?" Mark asked impatiently.
"I know! I know who he is, Yien. He is Bam's teacher...and..." Jackson paused.
"We're passed that, Ga...I know he is Bam's Korean teacher but again....do you know who Mr. Park is, Jiaer?" Mark asked him once again.
Jackson sighed, "Yes, Ge. Mr. Park is Jinyoung, Jabeom's friend. The one I am working with right now. The same one who hated me since the day we met. The one who called me a pervert and a stalker. The person that I have a one-sided crush on. The person that....that I think I am falling for. Happy now?"
"Oh...for how long did you know this? Was that why you told Bam that it was ok to call him appa?"
"Appa? Do you know about that, too?" Jackson was surprised his cousin knew about that.
"Yes, your son kept on telling Bella about it...that he is so happy you were ok for Bammie to have an appa." Mark informed him.
"Oh ok....but when I told him that it was ok....I didn't know yet....I just found out about it earlier....when I bumped into Yuggie at the cafeteria. It was Somi who told me."
"Did Jinyoung know? Did you tell him about your discovery?" Mark questioned his younger cousin.
Jackson shook his head as if Mark could see him. "Isn't it nice to know that you both knew each other all along?" Mark added when Jackson didn't say anything.
"No...he didn't know. Jinyoung didn't know. And Yien? Please keep this between us, ok?" Jackson pleaded.
"What? But why? I mean, you're already there...he knows you...you already have one foot inside the door." Mark replied.
"I...I don't want him to be awkward with me again. I mean, I think we broke that barrier between us earlier while we were working." Jackson told him.
"W-wait...You wouldn't tell him the truth? Also you mentioned earlier that the two of you were quite close by having a teacher/parent bond. Then how the heck Jinyoung didn't know that you're one person?"
"Because the first time he reached out to me about my son's progress, I used my personal email...and everything school related it was Wang Jiaer not Jackson Wang...and when we extended the communication via text, I gave him my personal number too. So, he didn't know." Jackson informed Mark.
