JACKSON
Jackson woke up to the harsh sound of Bambam's alarm. He felt, more than saw, the younger boy scramble to look for the offending cellphone that's waking both of them up. Jackson finally opened his eyes and found Bambam already on his way out of the bedroom.
He got up, stretched and proceeded to the bathroom he shares with Mark. The other group member is no longer in the bedroom and must have woken up really early. He decided to take a shower then and while in the shower he thought about the previous night.
He thought about the song he and Bambam listened to in the car on their way home. Sad Song – the melody of the song keeps on replaying in his head. He also remembers some of the words to the song. Then there's the song they listened to before they went to sleep. This I Promise You. Jackson does not want to think about it but he kept replaying last night's events in his head. The song choices are a little out of character for Bambam. "Why are we listening to love songs all of a sudden?" he thought.
He decided that this is not something he could get answers to right now. He finished his shower, dried himself up and brushed his teeth. He went back to the bedroom to get dressed and found Jinyoung sitting on his bed.
"Hey Jackson, can I borrow one of your snapbacks?" he asked
"Yeah, sure. Which one?" Jackson asked while opening his cabinet to show Jinyoung his collection of snapbacks.
"This one!" Jinyoung yelled enthusiastically while grabbing a black snapback with WANG written in front. It was a gift from Bambam and Jackson really did not want anyone else using it other than him – just because that particular snapback is special.
"Uhmm, not that one man. Choose a different one. I'm using that today." Jackson said.
"Oh, alright." Jinyoung smirked while looking at the other snapbacks and choosing a plain black one. "I'll have this one then. Thank you." He said with a smile this time before going out of the bedroom leaving Jackson still clutching the snapback that he didn't want Jinyoung to borrow. He carefully placed the snapback back into the cabinet, choosing not to wear it anyway.
He went out of the bedroom after getting dressed and found everyone in the kitchen eating breakfast.
"Who cooked?" he asked no one in particular while grabbing his cup and pouring himself a cup of coffee.
"Youngjae-hyung,' Yugyeom answered with a mouth full of pancake and bacon.
He looked around and found Bambam seated at the far end of the table and saw that his usual seat beside him is empty. He went and sat beside him, greeting him good morning too. Bambam looked up and smiled at him.
"Good morning Jack! I will not sleep in your bed again, you kept on kicking me last night," Bambam said, pouting.
"Really?! I was out cold last night! Why would I kick you? Maybe it's the other way around. Maybe it's you who's kicking me and you're only saying that you won't sleep in my bed anymore so I won't find out that you have been kicking me all this time?! Yah! I knew it, you're a kicker!" Jackson countered.
The rest of the guys snickered. "Kicker! That's new!" Youngjae said, laughing.
Bambam laughed. "I was kidding! You slept like the dead last night, Jack. Were you really tired?" he asked, concern evident in his eyes.
"No, not really. Just haven't been able to sleep much these past few days," Jackson answered. Come to think of it, Jackson thought, he slept really well last night, unlike the previous nights when he would toss and turn for hours before sleep claims him. "Could it be that Bambam is affecting my sleep too?" he thought. Just then Jaebum announced that their driver is already waiting outside and they already have to leave for practice.
Everyone shuffled outside and fought over who gets to sit shotgun but the leader shut everybody up by saying that he gets to sit in front. Jackson found himself seated next to Bambam. He looked at him but Bambam is busy playing with his phone, his earphones on. Jackson decided to listen to music through his phone too but then he felt Bambam's hand reach for his. He looked down and found that once again, Bambam has intertwined their fingers, looking rather comfortable, head slightly bobbing and swaying to whatever music he's currently listening to.
Jackson gave Bambam's hand a squeeze which made the other turn and look at him. When he saw that Jackson was looking at him, he simply gave him a smile and turned his head back around to look outside the window. Jackson looked at their hands again and decided that this is another one of his favorite things to do – holding Bambam's hand. Their hands are like puzzle pieces, they fit perfectly together. Jackson sighed contentedly. He fiddled with his phone until he found the perfect song.
He sat quietly, holding Bambam's hand, listening to Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud. For Jackson, at that very moment, nothing could ever be more perfect.
And darling I will be loving you till we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just a touch of a hand
Oh me, I fall in-love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am...
Jackson sang along to Ed Sheeran, all the while holding on to Bambam's hand.

A Song for You
Fanfic"I love you, Jack," Bambam whispered and in the quiet of the night, it felt like he just yelled the words out for everybody in the world to hear. He took in a deep breath, looked at Jackson once again and said, "Goodnight. I'll see you tomorrow."
