Markson - The Unexpected Journey

Chapter 9

Mark's point of view

I found myself going back to my apartment with my headphones pretty loud. I just pressed through the front door of my apartment building as I felt my phone vibrate.

"New message: Jackson

Hey, me and yugyeom went to the supermarket so don't worry about food. We will be at your place in about 5 minutes."

I smiled as I didn't think about anything to eat to stop to buy any. I was walking into the lift as Jackson and Yugyeom saw me and shouted me but I didn't realise as my headphone are very loud. I reached my floor and headed to my dreaded apartment door. The cable for my headphones got caught on my apartment key pass, making one of my headphones fall out. I scanned my pass and pressed in my code but I stopped on the last number as I felt myself freeze.

"Tuan." this voice is very familiar to me. He's back again. That son of a- "Come on Tuan, come have fun with me like old times." He started slowly walking up to me. I looked over at the elevators where i saw Jackson and Yugyeom come out. Jackson froze while holding Yugyeom's arm so he didn't get closer.

"Huh? What's going on?" Yugyeom asked in Korean. I tried to send a signal to Jackson to get out of here but instead, he shoved Yugyeom in the elevator and sent him down to the bottom floor. I felt his presence coming closer to me. He reached his arm out to grab me. I made a run for it. There is no way i'm being caught up in his grip, he's tried to kill me twice.

I grabbed Jackson's wrist and ran into the open elevator that Jackson previously called after Yugyeom was gone. As soon as I ran into the elevator, i noticed on the roof that here is two bars parallel to each other. That psycho tried to get into the elevator before it closed but i grabbed onto the bars, pulled myself into a swing and kicked him in the chest making him fly to the floor as the doors began to close.

I let myself down from the bars and felt Jackson's tight grip around my stomach. I could tell he is frightened by that guy as much as I am. Well, probably not as much as me. The elevator opened at the bottom floor as yugyeom is waiting and desperate to find out what is going on. I told him the situation as we got our breaths back.

The elevator reopened, I didn't think much to it until I felt a tight grip on my hair dragging me away from Jackson and Yugyeom. They nearly intervened until I pointed at the reception. They both sprinted over to ask for help and to call the police. I was dragged outside, through the fire escape where he threw me against the wall. "All you had to do is die. That's all I wanted from you." I felt a burning sensation on my face and soon a mouthful of fist. My nose started to bleed, I haven't fully recovered yet from the first time.

He grabbed me by the color and pulled me to his face. This is my time to do something. I headbutted him making his grip loosen and a chance to run from him. I managed to run the front of the building where i tripped over some rubbish that was left on the floor. He grabbed my shoulder and pushed me onto my back. He stood over me and grabbed my color again with one hand and punching me in the face with the hand.

Luckily, the police had just arrived and detained him before he knocked me out. I tilted my head towards the front of the building as I saw Jackson sprint out towards me. "Mark!" he screamed before kneeling before me. He grabbed my head and back to help me sit up. He grabbed my chin and inspected my face as I saw his eyes sweating.

"Jackson, why are you crying?" I looked at him with a smile as I gently pressed my hand on his face to rub away his tears. "You should go to the hospital, I'll give you a lift." the fellow officer suggested with a kind smile. I agreed and told Jackson to take Yugyeom to his place for now. Jackson and the fellow officer helped me up as I saw that psycho was being a pain and not getting into the police car. Luckily, there is two police cars so he took one and i took the other.

When we started to head to the hospital, the officer asked me, "So what is it with that guy? Did you fall out or something?" I nodded and looked out the window. "Is there anything you are missing to tell me?" he asked, I couldn't help but look suspicious. "Come on kid, tell me. Has he done this before?" I just nodded. "How many times?" he asked nervously. "Three times" I mumbled. "Three times huh? Why? What his he trying to achieve here?" the officer asked in a disappointed way. I unconsciously blurted "My death..." "Your-your what?" he stuttered. I suddenly realised what I just said, I was just about to speak but we had arrived at the hospital.

The fellow officer helped me out of the car as i still felt a little tipsy. He refused to leave my side. When I got into the doctor's office, the officer refused to let me go in alone as for what I said earlier. I took my hoodie off but I knew he saw the still very obvious scar from the bullet that hit my arm. His eyes widen and so does the doctor when he looked at my medical records. "Wow kid, you've been in a few serious fights, haven't you?" the doctor announced. I nodded in shame.

The doctor patched my face up and asked me if my stomach and head still hurt from last time I was attacked. I shrugged but the doctor wanted to make sure for himself. He checked my head and told me it was healing just nicely. He made me lay down on the bed as he told me to lift up my shirt so he could check my stomach. To his surprise, he noticed that the stab scar was still quite visible from what seemed a year ago. He tried not to press too hard on my abs but it didn't really hurt at all.

Me and the fellow officer exited the doctor's office. "Was those scars from that guy?" he asked me casually. "Yes, and I have to live with them for the rest of my life." I told him with sadness. We walked out the hospital and he let me have a ride home with him, "Where would you like to be dropped off?" I told him the address Jackson lives at and he dropped me off. He opened the door of the car, "I will come here if I have any information, okay?" I nodded before entering the house.

"Mark!" Jackson screams, gripping me tight in his arms, "Are you okay sweetie?" I managed to pull off a smile, "Much better." We walked into the living room and noticed that Yugyeom is asleep on the sofa as Mama Wang put a blanket over him. "Hey Mark, how are you feeling?" she smiled as she walked up to me, giving me a hug. "I'm okay." I pronounced. "You two boys can stay here for the time being. Your father told me earlier that he has to go back to Hong Kong to sort some business out. He will be back in a week." she told Jackson.

Jackson nodded then grabbed my hand and took me to our room where he threw me on the bed and told me to sleep while pulling the covers over me. He kissed my forehead. I don't know why but I felt the need to kiss him, so I did and for some reason. But it progressed into something more...

Thanks for reading. 

I've been having some issues thinking of the rest of the story so ill leave it to my viewers - You. Here is the list of things;

1. A short sweet ending.

2. Some more action scenes and a not-so-great end.

3. Some drama then a sweet end.

4. Just do it until I get sick of writing it.

Please comment your opinions and put your votes in. 

P.S If I don't get any replies, it will just have a short and sweet end. I am planning on doing another fan fiction after this one.
