A Championship To Remember ➳ Markson

chapter eight;

It had been a few days since isacs but they haven't gone unnoticed. There have been multiple journalists calling Mark and Jackson for interviews and numerous cases of paparazzi bombarding all the members of got7. While the group think it's wonderful that they have become so popular so quickly, it does feel overwhelming to lose their privacy just as fast.

"Well, at least we don't have to hide our relationship anymore," Jackson explained with a comical laugh as multiple paparazzi took pictures of them through the windows of the restaurant. Mark stares at Jackson on the other side of the table inquisitively. They had decided to go out for a date in a restaurant and due to the recent events, they don't need to hide their love for one another anymore, it was very simple to just go out and show public affection and have dates. This was an upside to them although the infinite number of journalists on their back does seem to cancel out that positive.

"Waiter, we've finished! Would you like us to bring the plates to the kitchen for you?" Mark yelled to their waiter. The waiter walks over and says "No no, it's fine sir! I'll clean the table as soon as you leave." Mark looks at the waiter before thanking him for his great service while giving him a decent tip. Jackson looks at Mark as he puts his coat on, "I've been thinking about what Yugyeom said to me when I gained consciousness again at isacs, it just seems really fishy that Jaebum would tell the other members not to be there for us and our relationship... I-I don't see any reason why he would request such a thing, Mark." Jackson's eyes begin to swell up, glazing over with a thin layer of water. Mark lunges towards Jackson and slams himself against his wrapping his arms around Jackson's waist. Jackson slams his head in Mark's neck as tears fell down his face. "It'll be okay Jackson, I'm sure he didn't mean it that way," Mark consoles Jackson while moving his hand up and down Jackson's back. Jackson steps back looking Mark in the eye while whipping away the few stray tears. "A-a-are you s-sure? he s-seemed pretty mad when he first f-f-found out about us..." Jackson stutters with a deep sigh at the end. Mark grabs Jackson's hand, "I'm sure, I'll even ask him myself when we get back to the dorm!" Mark coos before placing the money for the meal on table and leading Jackson out of the restaurant.

A few hours had passed since Mark and Jackson had arrived back at the dorm. Jaebum was asleep in bed so Mark decided to have a shower, meanwhile Jackson just went straight to bed. Mark got out the shower to see Jackson deep in his dreams in bed, Jackson had always been a deep sleeper, so mark carefully grabbed some pyjamas out of the closest drawers and tip toed out of the bedroom.

No one was in the living room so Mark quickly dried himself and put his pyjama bottoms on. Before he could put his shirt on Jaebum walked into the Living room, his eyes were puffy and red from obviously just waking up from a nap. Although, that did not stop Mark from noticing Jaebum's eyes widening on site of seeing Mark half naked. "AHHH, JAEBUM!?" Mark squealed softly while jumping around the room like a child on a sugar rush. Jaebum just stood there staring at the elder who was jumping and flailing around like a fish that was out of water, in Jaebum's opinion Mark looked like a right idiot, this made him let out a small chuckle before walking into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. "Do you want anything, Mark?" Jaebum asks. "I'll have a cup of coffee too, please!" Mark chirps excitedly. Jaebum walks over to Mark who was now slumped on the sofa in front of the TV and places the two coffees on coasters on the table. "So, why are you up so late?" Jaebum asks questioningly. Mark turns to Jaebum, "Well, in fact I've been waiting for you... I have to ask you something," Mark says, very clearly as well. Jaebum looks Mark dead in the eye with a confused look, "Huh? What do you need?" Jaebum says letting a faint grin cover his face. Mark sits up to show that the question is VERY important and moves and little closer to Jaebum before asking "Why did you tell the other members not to be there for me and Jackson, why did you tell them to pretend to not be happy with us being in a relationship?"
