Falling for Jackson Wang | MARKSON

Chapter 24 | Date

In all honesty, I didn't want to wake up this morning.
I wish I wasn't here, in bed, staring at the roof of my room and trying to forget what happened yesterday.
But it all replays in my head.

The small smile, the loving eyes... the gentle kiss.

Out of all the things Jackson Wang could do to me, I never ever thought he would cheat on me. I can never forgive anyone who cheats, especially him.

Cheating is a way of saying, 'You're love isn't enough for me, let me just secretly date someone else and crush your heart when you find out about it.'
Cheating is despicable, cruel and unforgiveable.

Why do I still love him?

I shouldn't. I should be marching right up to his room and screaming at him. Tell him how much he's hurt me. Tell him I've pushed everyone who has every cared about me away because of him. Tell him he broke me.

He broke me.

How could I be so stupid?

Hoseok told me, but I didn't believe him. I should have known better, Hoseok wouldn't lie.

Would he?

No, he's too pure. He wouldn't do that to me. But Jinyoung of all people? I thought they were just close friends. I thought the hugs were just hugs. The small glances were just an accident. All the times Jinyoung was over at Jackson's house was just... normal.

A part of me thinks it was an act.

Did Jackson know I was there? Did he want to make me jealous? Did he set me up?

All these questions run through my head, but I know. I know he wouldn't do that. He treasures his pride, he wouldn't pretend to do something like that just to get back at me.
He wouldn't.

He might.

No. He wouldn't. Jinyoung on the other hand, he could.

Jinyoung has feelings for Jackson, anyone can see it. But it's not like he would actually do anything. He told me himself he had feelings for Jaebum (which was a surprise because I'm not even classified as a friend). So why is he, all of a sudden, with Jackson? It doesn't make sense.

None if it makes sense.

----- Mark's Memories (4 weeks ago, Sunday) ----
At first I thought I was going crazy. Constant tapping, a whispering of my name and a strange feeling someone was watching me.
But then, I opened my eyes and got the shock of my life.
My boyfriend was on the tree branch near my window, at 2 in the morning, staring at me.
I should have just left him there, I should have just ignored him, but he looked miserable. His nose and cheeks were pink from the cold and his hands were shaking. He must have been staying out there for a while.
"Jackson, what are you doing?!" I whisper-yelled once I had heaved the window open, letting the icy breeze spread across my face.
"I want to go on a d-date." He smiled, despite his current state.
"Now? At this time?" I asked, he's crazy. He's completely crazy.
"Please?" He pouted, and I couldn't help but smile back.
"Fine. Only if you hurry up and come in, you must be freezing." I scolded, pulling him inside and looking for some warm clothes for him to wear.
"It's okay," He grinned, rubbing his hands together for warmth,"seeing you makes me feel warm."
"Jackson, stop." I rolled my eyes, handing him some warm gloves, a beanie and one of my jumpers.
"My heart can't stop when I'm around you."
"Leave me alone."
"Never." He smirked, placing the gloves on his hands. "These feel nice."
"I know." I laughed, slipping into a jumper.
"You might need to change out of your night clothes." Jackson suggested, jumping onto my bed.
"You're right." I nodded, grabbing some tracksuit pants and a long sleeved shirt, "I'll be back."
"You can change in front of me, I've seen it all before." Jackson winked, leaving me a blushing mess.
"I'm going to kill you one day I swear to-"
"You can't live without me." He sang, teasing me.
"Whatever." I scoffed, stepping into my bathroom.
"Hurry up, or we'll be late!" Jackson yelled from my bedroom.
