Jinyoung's POV

We entered the bar and the first thing I heard was Jackson's voice, still beautiful and loud.

He was engaged in the conversation before Bambam interrupted.
They greated each other, now it was just me and him.

Our friends were chatting with each other as if they aren't paying attention to us.

"Hey" he said

"Hey" I replied

Awkward everything was awkward.

"You look good today" he said staring aka penetrating his eyes directly at my soul.

"T-thanks, you l-look good too" with my hand at back of neck I replied him, I don't even know why I'm so nervous.

"Thanks" he smirked.

"Let's drink" Mark interrupted, thank God.

Everybody raised their glasses "To Jackson, cause he is here for good" everybody cheered.
Jackson is staying here for good? Why tho? Do I have a chance with him? Or does he have someone else already?

"Jinyoung?"

My thoughts were interrupted by Mark's voice.

"Yes?"

"What would you like to order?"

"whatever you guys are having"

I drifted again, not knowing what is happening around me.

I noticed Jackson looking at the me with concerning eyes, do I look weird? Maybe.

He approached me slowly "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, don't worry"

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I'm just a bit tired and ready to sleep"

"Do you want me to drop you off?"

"That's not necessary"

"I know you came with Yugbam, but I don't think they will go home to soon"

"I'll just call a taxi" he frowned

"I really don't mind giving you a ride, I insist and you will be more comfortable"

"I don't want to bother you"

"You never bother me, I'm more than happy to be with you" I admit, I got a little flustered.

"Okay, I'll go with you" I smile

"Nice" he smiled brightly "Hey guys, Jinyoung isn't feeling very well so I'm gonna send him home" he casually said.

They agreed, I swear I saw Jayb smirking at Youngjae.
We got aut of the bar directly at parking lote. I got inside his car, it smells just like him.

"can you give me your address?"

"Oh yeah" I gave him.

"In 30 minutes we'll get there"

"okay"

"How have you been?"

"I'm fine?" I replied him more like a question, I don't know what he means.

" I mean, how have you endured everything, how have you been, what are you doing nowadays"

Oh okay, it's about everything that happened in the past 5 years.... I guess I can just be frank, there's no need to act like it doesn't matter.

"In the beginning it was hard, very hard, then I just carried on with life, we couldn't do anything, I just focused on my studies and then I finally graduated, Hiyon was there"  I said smiling after remembering Hiyon.

"I know" I was surprised

"How come?"

"She told my mom and mom told me you graduated"

"Humm."

"What did you do after?"

"I eventually signed in got7isourname since jayb was working there, I didn't want to work in a place I didn't know anyone, and I was already familiarized with everyone so... It was easy, soon after finally I debuted as an actor"

"I'm very very happy that you are doing what you love, I couldn't be more proud"

But you weren't there, making part of the process. "And you? What happened after you went to China?"

"Well, after we landed I was just depressed, but eventually got over it, I was working with my dad for me to familiarize with the ambient, it was just like that the whole vacation, after that I started college and sometimes I would work with dad, it was the same until I finished my studies, then was full time working there, until dad said our company here was ready to re-open".

"is this what you wanted?"

Pause

"I didn't really think about it, since child I knew I would study business management, so I guess I just went with it... But I kinda don't mind it".

Pause

"That's good then, if you fine doing this, then I'm happy for you"

Pause

"We are here" already? I want to talk more. But neither of us said anything or moved or whatever.

"Do you want to get coffee?" he asked

In the coffee shop

I noticed that Jackson seems a bit off.

"What is it?"

"It's nothing important, maybe I'm just paranoid"

"I wanna hear it"

"well... I want to ask you something"

"Yes???"

"Well... Are you married?"

"Wh- what?"

"I mean... You don't really need to be married to have a child" what the heck is he saying? "What I wanna ask is, do you perhaps have a child or maybe are you taken?" bold of him.

"First of all, where's this coming from?"

"well to tell the truth, some days ago I went to the mall and I saw you with a kid, you guys seemed so close and happy and thought that maybe he could be your son, what was his name??" he was trying to remember "oh... Right Hyunjin".

"How do you know him?"

"I found him one time, he was lost and we looked for his nanny"

"Oh, so you are the handsome and kind Hyung he found" I asked shocked.

"Yeah, so is he your son?"

"Well, I'm not married and why does it matter if I have a son or not?" I was trying to se if he is Childfobic, my God I need to stop making words that doesn't exist.

"Well, it doesn't matter I was just curious, I'm sorry I shouldn't ask that, it's you life, I'm really sorry" he was feeling ashamed.

"It's okay, I'm just messing with you, and I understand where this coming from"

"But no, he is not my son, he is Youngjae and jayb son"

"oh, so YOU'RE THE REASON I CANNOT CLAIM HIM AS MY GODSON?" he loudly said.

"Jackson, shush, and yeah I'm his godfather, suck that"

"if it's you then, I'll gladly do it"

"Eh?"
