Jackson Wang

Chapter Four - I'd Rather Stick Pins In My Eyes

❣️Kokoro❣️

School was finally over, and I walked back to my locker from my English class with Ji Su. Our love of musicals had immediately secured a god friendship with her, and I could tell we were going to be friends for a long time.

We arrived, and I started packing away my books, when Mark walked up to his locker, accompanied, of course, by his posse.

"Hey, Ro!" He smiled. "And, um, h-hi, Ji Su." He bowed politely and she blushed.

"What are you guys doing after school?" Youngjae asked.

"Nothing much..." I replied.

"I'm staying over at Ro's tonight for a sleepover to work on our English project." Ji Su added.

"Hey, you guys should come over to my house!" Yugyeom offered. "The guys are coming over, and it'll be so fun."

"Well..." I say, about to politely decline, when Ji Su butts in.

"Of course! We'd love to! Thanks, Oppa." She grinned, and I smiled as well, uneasily. "We'll meet you in an hour, we need to change."

"Text me the address?!" I yelled behind me, as Ji Su dragged me out of the school.

"What was that?" I asked her, laughing.

"Yah! Don't you understand. Got7-"

"Got7?"

"It's what they call their boy band. They work on it in music class. They're all super talented at singing and dancing, and their good looks will make sure they become huge idols one day! That's why they're the most popular group in school! All the girls love them,-"

"Even you?" I smirked.

She went bright red. "I- I mean, if I had to pick- M-Mark would be-"

I laughed at her again. "I get it. But what's so special about Yugyeom's house?"

"What? Nothing!" She giggled. "But they never ask anyone over apart from the seven of them! You must have made a good impression." She wiggled her eyebrows. "I saw the way Jackson Oppa looked at you!"

"Please." I groaned. "First of all, the only reason you haven't been invited yet is because Mark needs to grow a pair and pluck up his courage. And secondly, literally don't even joke about Jackson. I would rather stick pins in my eyes. Seriously. Never gonna happen."

"Okay, okay." She giggled. "But if you had to choose.."

I gave her a look. "Youngjae Oppa is quite cute."

"Yaaaaaah!" She screamed. "No way! I'm sorry, but you and Jackson would be so much cuter! JackRo for the win!"

"JackRo?"

"Your ship name, of course!"

I rolled my eyes and playfully slapped her shoulder, and we continued walking to my house.

✨✨✨

Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting on my bed, while Ji Su pulled apart my closet.

"Are you done yet?" I complained. "Finding something to wear isn't this hard."

"That's what you think! We have to find something cute, but not middle school. And sexy, but not slutty. There's a fine line, my friend. Besides, this closet is so huge! I've never seen a house so big!" She beamed, as she sorted through some shorts.
