I punched Mr Popular (Mark X Seulgi )- Slow updates

Chapter 14

Jackson's POV

~~~Present day~~~

"Ohm..." She moaned.

And that's how it came to be. I left soon after that because I was heartbroken. I thought going out with other girls would help me. And dumping girls when I get bored of them because I thought they weren't meant for me and deserve someone better. I kept doing that hoping I would find someone...hoping I might get her attention. *Click* I snapped out of my thought and looked at Brea putting her shirt back on.

"Where're you going?" I asked confused. She smiled at me, "Well you look really spaced out. And I don't think you wanted to do this anyway. I think you're just looking for a distraction but you are already distracted." I sighed lowering my head.

"Well, thanks to you I'm late for class. I thought I was going to skip Trigonometry. Stupid triangles!" I laughed at this and then we fist bump before she walked out the room.

~~~Lunch~~~

"Urgh! Have to go meet Mark at the library now." I groaned as headed toward the library. Well, might as well made up then. I walked to the library to find the librarian and some geeky students looking up at me, surprised. I mentally rolled my eyes. There are study 4 sections in the library and I saw Mark waving at me from the last corner. I walked up to him and sat down.

"Hey." He started. I replied with a hey. Well...

"Look Jackson, I want to apologise..."

"Apology accepted man. Sorry I was being childish." Mark had an oh look on his face. He wasn't expecting that. He then smiled and playfully punched me on the shoulder, and then we're back to being 'normal' again.

"So was that all? You called me to the library to apologise? Man, you should show this side of you more often." I said smiling. Mark rolled his eyes to this, "Look who's talking."

"But no. I didn't only called you here to apologise to you. I want you to know why I acted like that in the first place." Mark said, all serious now.

"O...Kay...so what is it?" Mark looked around the room as if someone might hear us before leaning toward a bit.

"I like her." Then he leaned back and cover his face probably blushing hard as his ears are pretty red. What. The heck?

"Man, speak properly!" I raised my voice just a tiny bit. Just a freakin tiny bit, and I got a deadly glare from the librarian. Mrs. Ruth, an old woman in her 40s gave me a stern look behind her rectangle glasses. "Keep quiet, this is a library." She said before going back to stacking away the books. I lowered my head a bit and frowned at Mark. He looked at me, face pink. Tch.

"What did you say?" I asked again. Mark sighed before answering, keeping his voice low.

"I said, I like Seulgi."

"WHAA??!!! Oh my gosh!" I yelled, my eyes widening. Mrs. Ruth turned her head at me, giving me a pissed off expression. She then huffed, "Mr. Wang, this is a library, keep your voice low." I forced a smile at her saying okay. She gave me a one last glare, judging me behind that glasses, before going back to her work.

I turned to Mark who he avoided looking in my eyes. "Hey. I'm right over here. Now tell me, you. How...When? What? Who, what, where, when now?"

Mark sighed looking back at me. "I like Seulgi Kang, and I don't know where. when and how it happened." I just stared at him. My body is all frozen, only my brain is calculating everything out. Ok, so Mark like Seulgi, the girl who punched him, which is a shock! But he doesn't know when or how or why he like her. So that's why he stopped me at the swimming pool. But he said 'let's not waste time on stupid people' or something? So that's why he's been acting all weird these last days. Hold up, hold up, but why didn't he say anything? Oh, I was angry at him. No, wait even before that. Could it be...

"Mark, are you in a one-sided love?" *Smack* "Ouch!" I rubbed my forehead, frowning at Mark.

"Don't say that!" Mark hissed and I smirked. I fan myself with my hand before pulling out my water bottle from my bag.

"Gosh Mark, this is shocking for me. I'm really surprised, you know." I said gobbling down my water. Mark had a duh look on his face. He then leaned in, "But Jackson, I want to...um...ask her out."

"PPPFFFTTT!!" I spit out the water before choking on it. Coughing loudly, I asked him again.

"You*cough*want to*cough*what? *cough*cough*" Mark gave me a 'really?' look.

"I said I'm planning on asking her out." Mark whispered-shouted.

"Oh My God!!" I shrieked. And right on cue, Mrs. Ruth stormed toward us.

"Okay, both of you, OUT NOW!" She shouted sending us out. We got up quietly before I made a peace symbol toward her and grinned. Calm down woman this is a library.

Mark's POV

Jackson is like literally staring at me, frozen. We're are currently chilling in my pool enjoying the summer breeze while it last. I've just told Jackson that I'm planning to ask Seulgi out this Wednesday and I'm currently asking Jackson for advice but of course he's staring at me like I've grown horns!

"Oi! Snap out of it. Now tell me, how should I do it?" I splashed some water to Jackson as he's sitting on the whale toy that's for kids. Yeah it is mine, and I've kept it since grade 4. Anyway, I waited for Jackson's answers while sitting on the pool side, dipping my legs into pool. Jackson raised an eyebrow at me.

"You seriously for real? Like not only you're going to ask a girl that you pretty much hate a few days ago out, but you're also asking me for advice on how? And I think she hated you as much as you used to hate her, but maybe more. What do I look like to you? I never ask a girl out. You should know since lots of girls asked you out before."

"Jackson, you've been in relationships though, and I haven't."

"What do you mean you haven't been in a relationship? You have...Um...Anyway...Yeah, well those 'relationships' were what I called a long term fling." Jackson reasoned. "Mark, just I don't know, search up online you know. Maybe ask someone." He suggested.

"Who?" I questioned.

"Um...I don't know...Bambam? Tao? They're pretty bluff."

"Ha, looks who's talking." I smirked, making Jackson rolled his eyes before telling me to shut up.

"I'm serious Jackson. Please help me." Jackson looked at me like I'm a completely different person, and I can't blame him because I sounded so desperate.

Jackson sighed, "Ok, I'll see what I can do. But...why are you so...in a hurry?"

"I...I feel threatened." I answered. Oh god.

"You what?" Jackson made an expression that says 'you sick bro?'.

"I think Lay likes Seulgi as well. And they're getting along too well." Jackson scoffed at this but grinned at the end.

"I guess that's why we're best friend yeah? Hating on the same person. No wonder he has been acting different lately. He was trying act tough in front of her." Well that's true, but the hating part, not really.

"But also, there's another competitor I have to face. And I don't know much about him but he seems pretty challenging. And it looks like he and Seulgi are pretty close. Maybe too close."

"And who might that be?" Jackson asked dropping in the pool.

"Junior."

"Who dafuq is that?" Jackson knitted his eyebrows. Ugh I guess I have to explain what I know so far.
