A Championship To Remember ➳ Markson

chapter one;

It was the day before isacs (idol sports award championships) and Jackson was feeling extremely nervous. Not because of the sports involved, not because of the cameras or the competition; it was all because Mark was going to be there. The fans were yet to know of their current relationship status and have been unknown to the fact they have been dating for a few months now. It is not because they don't want the fans to know, it's because their manager says it's better for the group if the world was unknowing of this. "Jackson... what are you doing?" mumbled a soft, quiet voice. Jackson turned round from the open window he was looking out of and consoled the person whom had asked him the question "Oh, I was just... getting some air. Don't worry."

Mark finally wakes up from his deep slumber, slow and steady may I add. When he finally starts to take notice of his surroundings, he realises Jackson isn't in bed. Mark immediately got out of bed to see where Jackson was, he didn't shout Jackson as it would probably wake the other members and Mark knows how grumpy Jaebum can be if he's awoken from the dream world. He sees Jackson stood at the kitchen window and is confused for a few seconds until he begins to feel déjà vu. "Has this happened before?" Mark whispers just loud enough for Jackson to hear him. Jackson, once again, turns around from the window he's looking out of and utters "Yes Mark, about 3 hours ago you asked me what I was doing here, when I answered you just stared at me for a few seconds and went back to bed. Do you not remember?". Mark gives Jackson a concerned look and before he can say anything Yugyeom runs into the kitchen shouting "ISACS ARE TOMORROW, I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW EVERYONE HOW MUCH I'VE IMPROVED". Mark starts laughing at Yugyeom's sudden entrance meanwhile Jackson just sighs and walks back to the bedroom leaving both Yugyeom and Mark stood confused in the kitchen.

Jackson threw himself onto the bed slamming his head against the pillow with an almighty thump. He just laid there thinking constantly about different scenarios where people will see Mark and Jackson's interactions more as "skinship" or "fanfic prompts" and actually realise that they are a couple. Suddenly Mark walks into their room, "Jackson, are you okay? You seem a little off today." He exclaimed. "Yes, I'm fine." Jackson mumbles through the pillow. Mark decides to lay next to Jackson and keep him company. After laying staring at the ceiling for a few minutes, mark turns to Jackson and says, "I know you're lying, Jackson. I would be a horrible boyfriend if I couldn't see that something is bugging you." Jackson turns his head to look at Mark, when their eyes make contact Mark smiles at Jackson making him laugh nervously. "Fine, yes. I am bothered about something. I just don't want to bother you or the other members with it. Do you mind if I keep this one to myself?" Mark looks at Jackson with a concerned look, "Okay, I guess... Just promise that you won't beat yourself up over this Jackson. I know how bad you can get." Jackson looks at Mark and smiles before saying "I promise".
