Death and Dying (A~ Got7 Fanfic)

Chapter 12 // Jackson

Jackson huffed with exhaustion as he did his last push up. Everybody had left as soon as he had started doing his workout. The credits of Twilight were now rolling by because Jackson enjoyed the background noise as he did his workouts. Although, Twilight was a rather distracting movie and he ended up stopping his workout to watch the film. The others make fun of him for liking the Twilight films but, Jackson can't help it--the films are addicting.

Jackson clamours to his feet, stretching out his muscles. He needs to find Bambam. He promised the younger boy he would take him out to eat meat. Jackson needed to talk to Bambam about what he planned to do. He didn't enjoy watching his friend suffer.

Moving towards Bambam's room, Jackson knocked on the door. A muffled "come in" could be heard from inside. Opening the door, Jackson was unsurprised to see an annoyed and angry Bambam sitting on his bed and pouting. Yugyeom was laying on the floor.

"You should get ready to go," Jackson said, addressing the annoyed boy on the bed. "We all know it takes you five hours to get ready. I am going to go shower and by the time I get out, I expect you to be dressed and ready to go."

"Whatever," Bambam replies, rolling his eyes and sticking his tongue out at Jackson.

Yugyeom watches the exchange with interest in his eyes.

Jackson backs out of the room and closes the door. He can hear Yugyeom questioning Bambam about what they're doing.

Bambam never replies to Yugyeom and a series of harsh coughs can be heard from the hallway.

Sighing, Jackson makes his way to the bathroom. The sooner he showers and gets ready, the sooner he can talk to Bambam about the current situation.

Jackson exits his room clean and dressed and heads in the direction of the living room.

Entering the living room, he finds Bambam lounging on the couch looking through something on his phone.

Sneaking up behind Bambam and poking the younger boy in the thigh, Jackson asks, "Bambam you ready to go?"

Startled, Bambam jumps up, almost kicking Jackson in the face in the process.

"Oh my god, Jackson! Don't do that!"

Jackson laughs at the startled expression on the younger boy's face and Bambam pouts at him in return.

"Come on, let's go. We have a lot to discuss." Jackson says, ushering Bambam towards the door.

As Jackson shoves Bambam out the door, Junior rounds the corner into the living room.

"Oh, you're leaving?" Jinyoung asks, watching as Jackson tries to shove Bambam out the door while Bambam hops around trying to put on his newest pair of designer boots.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys." Jackson says, "Me and Bambam are going out to eat meat. I promised I would treat him."

"Why do you always eat meat with Bambam? It's not fair," Jinyoung huffs and spins on his heel walking back to his room. Jackson hears the door slam.

"What's his problem?" Bambam says, staring at the space in which Jinyoung just stood.

"I don't know," Jackson says staring at the spot in which Junior once stood quizzically. "Now we need to leave. I have to meet Namjoon later today."

Jackson shoves the younger boy out the door and grabs his arms, dragging him towards the elevator.

Bambam mopes as the older boy drags him down the street to their favorite restaurant.

Upon entering the restaurant, the two boys are directed to a booth in the far back.

The two sat in silence as they scanned the menu set in front of them.

Flagging down a waiter, Jackson orders enough food for the the two of them.

As soon as the waiter leaves, an awkward silence descends on the two boys. Jackson stares at Bambam with a puzzled expression. Bambam refuses to meet Jackson's eyes, playing with the straw wrapper on the table.

"Bambam, I can't watch you die. Jackson says with concern.

"I'm not going to die." Bambam replied.

"You are if you don't do something soon. You don't even know who you're in love with."

Bambam sighs, the sound loud in the quiet of the restaurant.

"I know who I'm in love with," he says with a resigned sigh.

"You figured it out?" Jackson says loudly, drawing the attention of the other customers in the restaurant .

"Calm down, Jackson." Bambam hisses. "I don't think I can confess."

"Why?" Jackson questions. "Why would you rather die than confess your feelings?"

"I can't confess to him. He's my best friend." mumbles Bambam under his breath.

Jackson's eyes widen in realization.

"You're in love with Yugyeom, aren't you?"
