A Championship To Remember ➳ Markson

chapter three;

As Jackson stepped out the bedroom he was greeted with a very anxious Jinyoung. "Is Mark okay Jackson? Last time I saw him was when he ran into your room close to tears, I couldn't go help as Jaebum had cornered me." Jinyoung uttered, his voice was shaky but it was still very clear to understand what he said. "Yes, he's sleeping right now. Please don't disturb him, I'm sure he will update you later." Jackson said.

Jackson walked into the kitchen to find Jaebum and Youngjae stood talking to each other. Youngjae was always Jaebum's soft spot. If anyone could make Jaebum more lenient in this situation it would be Youngjae. "Hello, Wang." Jaebum hissed. "Okay, so you're still salty? What is your problem, Jaebum?" Jackson asked with his anger increasing very fast causing his muscles to tense and his face to turn a light red. "Jackson, calm down." Youngjae communicated very calmly, "Fine... why are you so butthurt about me and Mark's relationship, Jaebum?" Jackson says, this time more calmly. "I'm not 'butthurt' about anything Jackson, what I'm annoyed about is how you would keep this hidden for so long? I knew there was something between you both but I never thought it would be taken this far." Jaebum expressed with disappointment beginning to cover his face. "It's not our fault Jaebum, we were asked by the manager to keep this between me and Mark. Therefore, we respected the managers wishes and told no one about it. I hope you are not hurt by this, if we were not told to keep it secret you and the other members would be the first people to know..." Jackson sighed. "Fine, I apologise for reacting so badly to this. I have nothing against either of you, I hope you're happy together" Jaebum says, saltiness can still be heard clearly through Jaebum's attempt to sound consoling. "Thank you" Jackson says humbly, even though he knows this will not be the end of the arguments about this, he then walks into the living room and slumps himself onto the sofa.

Nothing much noteworthy happened the rest of the night, there was an eerie silence throughout the dorm. Not a single member was interacting with one another. Then again, what do you expect with how heated the first half of the day was? Suddenly the silence of the dorm was cut short when BamBam thought it would be a good idea to use the curtains as a ladder to open the window. As you can guess, this was not a good idea and he ended up pulling the whole curtain down and landing on the floor with a thump. This was followed very quickly with the loud laughter of Yugyeom and Jinyoung who watched the whole thing happen.

Jackson decided the best way to relieve some stress from the day and the thought of ISACs tomorrow was by taking a shower. As many of the members know, he's very much a shower singer and always gets teased for it after he appears out of the shower so this time he decided not to play any music to lower the temptation. When he had finished in the shower he was greeted by Mark who was sat up on the edge of the bed. Jackson decided to try and cheer him up a bit, "Hey good looking, how's it cooking?" Jackson smirked and looked towards Mark. All Jackson received in return was a little giggle and a small smile. It was obvious Mark still wasn't feeling very good about the events from earlier. Jackson ran up to Mark and hugged him (bearing in mind he was still wet from his shower) Mark returned the hug until he realised that his clothes were now wet from Jackson. "UGHHH, JACKSON?!?! YOU GOT ME WET!!" Mark screams. "EWWWWW, THAT'S DISGUSTING" Yugyeom screams from behind the door. Mark gets up and swings the door open as he starts chasing Yugyeom around the dorm (Yugyeom seems all too used to members chasing him around the dorm for the silly things he says).

"It's getting pretty late everyone. I think it's time for us to head to bed, we've got a big day tomorrow" Jaebum shouts, his voice loud and stern. All the members do as they are told and head to their rooms. Jackson heads to his room while Mark stays in the kitchen to get a drink. Jaebum notices Mark hasn't headed to bed and decides it's best to apologise for his actions earlier. "Hey Mark, I'm sorry for reacting so badly earlier. I hope you can forgive me." Jaebum whispers trying not to disturb the other members. Mark turns round and looks Jaebum straight in the eye, "It's okay, I thought you of all people would understand but obviously those who you think are the most understanding often are not. Do anything to ruin mine and Jackson's relationship and I'll make your life hell, Jaebum." Mark glares at Jaebum as he walks to Jackson's room. Jaebum watches Mark as he walks away. He understands why Mark is being so defensive but did he have to be so rude?

Mark feels bad for being so rude to Jaebum but if he doesn't stand his ground then he knows Jaebum is going to walk all over them. He walks over to Jackson who was laid in bed checking his Instagram and Twitter on his phone. "Jackson, do you think everyone is okay with us dating?" Mark asks. "I don't see why they wouldn't be, why?" Jackson says questioningly. "Oh, no reason. I haven't really spoke to any of the members since I-" Mark is cut off by Jackson's soft lips as they shared a kiss (Mark is starting to get pretty used to being cut off when he's blabbering on about rubbish to Jackson). Mark gets comfortable under Jackson's arm with his head on Jackson's chest. Jackson begins softly playing with tufts of Mark's hair until they both dozed off.
