Falling for Jackson Wang | MARKSON

Chapter 23 | Secrets

Around 1 week until my 6 month anniversary with Jackson.
Just under a week since Jungkook called me.
2 weeks until I win.

What do I do?

Considering I have a week until Jackson is supposed to break up with me, and it's a Friday, I might as well go in big and hope for the best. I threw on a plain white t-shirt and my black tracksuit pants. Something I haven't worn in a while, hopefully it'll work.

Honestly, I'm starting to not care about anything anymore.

I have an extra half an hour before Jackson is supposed to take me to school, I've already done everything I need to. So, to pass the time, I spent it on social media.

Well, tried to.

I spend a good 5 minutes on Facebook, looking at my feed full of memes and laughing to myself, but stopping after I've realised how sad my life must considering I laugh at memes all day. I then tried to play 'Crossy Road' but I soon got frustrated and gave up. It made me stare at my phone for what seemed like hours. My eyes kept glancing to my contacts. Jungkook, to be exact.

Should I?

No.

Yes.

Stop talking to yourself.

Okay.

I couldn't decided what to do. I think he said something about Taehyung? Or was it Jimin? I don't want to remember. But it won't stop me from finding out. Before I knew it, I was ringing Jungkook.
My heart raced with anticipation. What happened? Is everyone okay? It can't be too serious. If it was, I would have found out already. If someone was dead, the whole school would have known.... right?

Ring ring

Please pick up.

Ring ring

I need him to pick up the phone.

Ring ring.

Please.

The person you have dialed is unavailable. Please leave a short 10 second message after the beep.

My heart dropped. I miss him. I miss all of them.

Beep.

"Hey, uh. It's Mark. Ring me back as soon as you get this." I mumbled, before quickly hanging up the phone.

I hope he's not ignoring me.

What if he is?

Shut up, Mark.

Whatever.

I knew I shouldn't have hung up on him like that. I should have listened. I was too caught up with Jackson's party. I'm a horrible person.

"Mark! Jackson's here!" Dad called from the downstairs kitchen. My signal to run down the stairs and into my boyfriend's car.
